World Market / Cho Quoc Te was everything I have been missing in my life here in St. Louis, as a Vietnamese-American who grew up in a part of the US that had a large Vietnamese diaspora. It's a bit of a drive for me, but after finally visiting today (after several failed attempts at finding brined vegetables/ dua mon out in the county), I can confidently say it's well worth the drive. The prepared foods tables had me giddy like a kid in a candy shop, and there were multiple options of dua mon available. Several types of fresh noodles, fried crullers (dau chay quay / youtiao), frozen cha gio, a refrigerator dedicated to just nem + cha lua... I'm so happy.

What a great plaza for Vietnamese to shop for Vietnamese things!!! This includes a Vietnamese speaking pharmacist, Vietnamese restaurant connection and at least a couple Vietnamese speaking cashiers. Of course, they also all speak English too! I came in on Thursday morning and they have a truck load of stock arriving. Yay for more products, but also made for a bit of a challenge to navigate around. I'm so glad to have found this little gem. It's a lot of different products on the shelves. But I'm especially glad to have found their self serving table! Food tastes good and authentic flavor, great price and fresh! When I picked up these items at 9am, the food were still warm to the touch. They kept bringing out more food when I was leaving at 10am. I'd definitely come back more often if it's not 40 mins drive for me. For everyone else in downtown stl area, check it out!

Wonderful selection of Vietnamese foods, fresh produce and seafood. There is a strong seafood odor in the air, but that only makes the experience feel more authentic. Staff is helpful. Tonight we dined at the adjoins restaurant, Joyful House.

Fresh seafood

Wow, quite an expansive grocery store, connected to Joyful House restaurant, including fresh and frozen seafood, an entire room of fresh veggies and some fruit, including durian, an entire section of fish sauce, beans, hot sauce, spices, tea, and pots and pans, silverware and beauty/ cosmetics. Similar to Jay's but more focused on Asian goods.

Great market but I question some of the products...some have no sell by dates but you're able to buy the same product else where with the sell by date printed. So that makes me nervous on how long the food has been sitting there. I can say that their veggies and fish are definitely fresh. We have bought veggies and fish here multiple times and they have never been bad or spoiled. One thing I wish about this supermarket is that it should carry more snacks like Olive supermarket or seafood city!

This place is such a STL Staple. Fresh produce, local food vendors, and people selling their body…read moreoils, fragrances, foods and more. Prices on everything is reasonable. It gets crowded on the weekends. If you try and stagger the time that you go, it may not be as busy. Parking is meter/paid parking, but you may luck up and find free parking. It's a must if you are ever visiting STL or if you simply want to go to the farmers market!! I love going to the Soulard spice shop. It is one of my favourites.I have a few preferred produce stands i love going to for fresh fruits and vegetables. And don't forget about the flower shop.

Review Title: 4 Easy steps to 52 Saturdays of CONTROLLED CHAOS!…read more The MUST-DO thing for all St. Louis'ians and Non-St. Louis'ians. But you gotta do it right! Step 1: Schedule a Saturday off to yourself (yes, the Market's open Wed-Sat, but you get 100% vendorship on Saturdays) Step 2: Set your alarm clock EARLY! The trick is the "when" do you get there? Wait til the later hours of the day.. and every shop will be empty that you went for! I've learned this too many times in my sleep-in days, to get there way too late to find so many of the shops sold out, or the "runts" of the sales left. So figure out Early and then getup before then! Step 3: Get in your car and go shopping!!! (Follow the map of course!) Plain and simple you want fresh produce.. this is where you go. Whether it's veggies,. meats, baked goods, coffee, soaps, sweets, snacks, and even alchy beverages if you so desire! (and you just might as the day goes on) Get there early and load up! (Just warning you, you may have to make a few runs between your shops and your car, considering what you -could- load up on. Now as stated by many, it's a smorgasboard of what you can find, all along the entire market. (but just a word of advice, whatever you buy at the market, please clean and store PROPERLY as soon as you get home, this is a farmer's market and you can lose some fresh produce REALLY QUICK!) And just remember you're going to have to fight your way through the crowds. because EVERYONE and their relative knows to come here. (Picture yourself in a demolition derby with everyone.. cause that's what it's going to feel llike... Controlled Chaos! **See I knew I'd fit the title in here somewhere*) I will admit you there are some vendors that sell the usual "touristy wares" on occasion, such as "gold jewelry", Sports uniforms (Battlehawks, Cardinals, Blues), you know the quick .. touristy stuff. But the real value is the food and the food 'trucks', including BBQ , New Orleans style cuisine, mediterranean.. you know everything you can find at a farmer's market :) STEP 4: And to top off the day. a real daiquiri or bloody mary to seal the deal! And there you have it folks... 4 steps to a Controlled Chaos of a Saturday in the Lou!!
