Yi&#x27;s Oriental Market

I'm a little surprised to find myself giving a Hy-Vee a four star rating in 2025 to be honest. Over…read morethe years my opinion on Hy-Vee in general has gone somewhat downhill for a variety of reasons, but my biggest quip is that it's just super expensive for no reason. That is actually still the case at this location in Manhattan, KS, but it's still an above average Hy-Vee, and I'll get to that soon. The first thing you'll notice at this Hy-Vee is that it's large, it appears to be fairly new, or at least very well maintained, but it looks like any old Hy-Vee from the outside. We stopped here as my mother in law lives in Manhattan and we were on the hunt for a veggie tray to take to our family Christmas. We walked in and despite living near a big modern Hy-Vee in Overland Park, this one really puts ours to shame in terms of feeling updated and fresh. We found the veggie trays and they were all beautifully put together and fresh. The thing that was terribly upsetting? They were also $25. With no other options we purchased it at that price. I was wondering if veggie trays are just this expensive now, and for the record, I went grocery shopping at Costco and Whole Foods in the KC metro the next week and found veggie trays at Costco to be around $10 and believe it or not veggie trays at WHOLE FOODS to be around $12 - so less than half their counterpart at a central Kansas Hy-Vee. Honestly stunning. Aside from the prices this is an excellent grocery store. If I lived here I'd likely return as they had way more prepared foods than ours does, and it seemed well stocked with fresh produce. They also still had self checkout which I love.

Before shopping, I stopped at the customer service "money services" counter to exchange a $20 bill for two $10s. I was told that the cashier could not open the cash drawer for change only (even though I've exchanged cash at the west Dillons in the past). So I left and went to Hy-Vee where they gladly changed the $20 bill. And I was able to do all my grocery shopping at Hy-Vee. Great friendly customer service at Hy-Vee. Clearly Dillons is not big on customer service.

We…read moredrove up to the center to eat at Thai Noodle, and I saw "EASTERN GROCERY" and an open sign and squealed for joy! Eric R.'s ear drums stayed intact though. We walked in and the new owner told us he opened Saturday and still was getting in products including more produce. There was a pretty reasonable amount of produce though - daikon, greens, lots of types of mushrooms, mammoth ginger root (see my pic), and other goods. There is a lot of space and most of the shelves seemed sparsely stocked, but there were tons of boxes in the back. I think it was cool of him to open before fully stocked, because this is a little more accessible than the other markets, though Yi's is technically walkable from campus. Aggieville is just much closer. There were drinks, snacks, pocky and other sweets, noodles, spices, sauces, rice, and even cookware like bamboo steamers. I bet this will be well received once it is fully functioning. I am thrilled that we have three markets in our small city with ingredients that I use on a regular basis, so this is a welcome addition to town!

Took it to new house and left it in box until 16 November when I moved the old stove out and installed the new one. The stove top burners worked, but the screen was dead and oven didn't work. Called Menards that day. Kid asks, did you unbox it? No, I managed to hook it up and start it in the box, WTH kind of stupid question was that? But, I said yes. He says it's not their problem since it's past 7 days. It was a total of 13 days from purchase. If it was still boxed and wrapped, then 30 days. Since I unboxed it I have to go through Whirlpool. Spoke with store manager and was told sorry that's the policy. So no Thanksgiving meal cooked, nothing cooked in there for Christmas either. So they don't tell you about this 7 day policy, and you don't see anything about it until you get your receipt and aren't likely to look at that print on the bottom of your receipt, and by then it's too late anyway. Manager tells me if I would have bought the store brand. Criterion, I could replace it for up to a year. Totally deceptive practice that I plan on reporting to State of Kansas AG. I spend thousands of dollars at Menards every year since the Manhattan store was built, but never again.

We ordered a few scones, a quiche, a chicken salad, and of course, two dirty chai lattes. The food was absolutely delicious, but unfortunately, the coffee was a letdown. The chai lattes didn't taste like chai at all, which was disappointing given they were nearly $15 for both. I mentioned it to an employee, who simply explained how they were made, but didn't seem too concerned at first. Thankfully, after a short while, she brought us two new ones and those were actual chai lattes. Much better! The place did feel a little disorganized, like the staff wasn't quite in sync, but maybe that was just my impression. Aside from the initial coffee mishap, everything else was great!

They were timely and well prepared. They even individually served my groom and me, which I would never ask for or expect. We also hired a couple of their staff members to stay the entire evening to help with clean up, and they were beyond helpful. They packaged-up the food to easily take home, took care of the tablecloths we rented for them, and helped with many other miscellaneous tasks. Lastly, we also loved the bartenders that we hired through them. They were friendly, fun, and very efficient, and everyone loved the service and mixed drinks.
