Worst customer service. There were so many more registers that could've been opened yet they had one opened with 11 people standing in line and 2 women checking out at the ONE register ... soo stupid. When my boyfriend got to the register they told him that it's a limit of $5 for card use so I had to add my stuff to his. But it's like, at least have a sign up. Afterward, I went over to the restaurant area to get a boba slushee. I got a passion fruit one. The slushee itself tasted good, was just really really sweet. But the boba was GROSS. It was so nasty and tasted old to the point where I just had to throw the whole thing away. Mind you, I love boba so this has never happened with any boba place I've gone to. That's not all though. When the lady was done preparing my slushee and handed it to me, I pulled out my card to hand to her. She then said they don't accept card in that area. I'm like lady!!! Tell me before-hand or at least have a sign up. She then proceeded to write my total on a paper. I then had to go to the line I was in previously and pay for my slushee which was $2.99. But then the $5 limit on cards was still a thing of course so I had to add some items to it. Bottom line is, the store's customer service isn't good and it seems pretty unclean. I definitely will not be returning here and I don't suggest anyone to go to this store.

Grand Asia Market (GAM), looks like you've got a bit of competition now! Cause way down on S. Wilmington Street in Raleigh is A&C Market. A lot bigger than GAM, A&C is similar but still going through some growing pains. The aisles are wide and easy to manuever through but I'm not sure if they have any heat! I froze my butt off during my visit today... A&C has got the usual Asian produce, meat/seafood, frozen and dry goods section along with a housewares area, decorative junk and a small hot foods bar. Biggest gap is the lack of a bakery along with the popular bubble tea that you can get at GAM's wonderful cafe. However A&C does have an aisle for restaurant supplies and equipment if you're in the business and need some stuff. I'm pretty sure this place is new so it'll probably evolve and change quickly. A&C is definitely more spacious than GAM and similar in terms of variety and assortment. And prices may be a touch lower than GAM, I'll need to so more shopping to find out for sure. But what's great is you've got another choice for Asian foodstuffs, especially if you live in downtown or S. Raleigh. So welcome to the hood, A&C Market!

This supermarket is as authentic as you can get. If you complain about the smell (they do have a good array of fresh meat & seafood besides the rows and rows of frozen ones), then obviously you have not been to Asia so hush. It's not that this place is filthy, but common seafood, durian, jackfruit, etc stinks! (If you're near the seafood section of Lowe's Food, they stink like hell too so what's the diff?). This place is old so don't expect much. I love this spot, however, because it's closer to home and I don't have to travel to Grand Asia in Cary. They basically have everything that Grand Asia has to offer except perhaps a better pastry shop (and they don't have bubble teas either). But unlike Grand Asia, it's roomier and there's significantly less people. Versus H Mart (which is mostly Korean items), they offer more varieties of Asian items. True, H Mart is immaculately clean but I can't find anything I want in that damn store. So in summary, if you're looking for Asian items and this place is closer to you then chances are you'll find it here. Just lower your standards a bit.

Gyoza from A&C that was spoiled when bought, and had to be tossed.

I recommend Grand Asia Market any day over A&C market. I shop at the Grand Asia Market all the time with my mother, and there is a much larger variety of food from China, Japan, Korea, as well as many other countries, and they are always very well stocked. When I can't find what I'm looking for at Grand Asia, the associates go above and beyond to help, including going into the stock room to search for the product. A&C does not have as much variety as Grand Asia, and the associates are not as helpful. Worst of all, all of the frozen items I purchased had obviously been thawed out, and one product was tore open and visibly spoiled, and had to be tossed. I am very dissatisfied and will never return to A&C.

All Asian supermarkets are not created equal; sure we all look alike (zing!) but there are always some difference. I've been here since they open the first day. I should know. A & C Supermarket, or "Mei-ah" as MY PEOPLE called it, is a lot closer than Grand Asia Market, and A LOT LESS people. Maybe it seem like a lot less people because A&C is definitely much bigger than GAM, all the while serving the same amount of Asian grocery. A&C does serve a more extensive selection of fish balls than GAM. One thing though, there are something here cost a few dimes more than GAM, but just a few items. As far as fresh food court, the menu is not as extensive as GAM, but just about every dish I tasted was pretty good.

This place has the cheapest lunch in town! You can get a meal box with rice and 3 sides for only $4.99 with a student ID and $5.79 for everyone else. The quantity of food that they give you is huge and the options for the meal box are all very authentic. Whenever I come here with my family, we would go for the 3 course meal. It comes with steamed fish, half roast duck, and stir fired vegetable. The fish is steamed with soy sauce and top with ginger and scallion. It is very well-seasoned and the meat tends to be soft and tender. However, the fish is sometimes not scaled well. I love the roast duck here. It has really crispy skin and right amount of smokiness. I do wish that it is more consistent in the salt level. It has the tendercy to be very salty once in a while. The stir-fried vegetable is always very good. The type of greens used is different every time I go. I like enjoy the strong garlic flavor from the large pieces of garlic that are visible in the dish. Aside from the meals, there is also a bakery section. For the cakes and buns, you get 2 free when you purchase 8 of them. The slice breads are buy one get one free. This grocery store carries lots of variety of food. I would not recommend getting the fresh meat here as they don't get lots of traffic and might not be the highest quality. I never had the same problem with the seafood since I would go for the live tilapia. I am not sure about the rest of the selection.

THE BEST red bean sesame balls freshly made every day except Tuesday.

The male employees who work on the fresh meat area are so super rude to customers. They need to do better with customer service.

It's no Grand Asia, but they do offer things that are different and their Pork and Char Siu is really good.

I'm so pleased that this Asian grocers exists in Brier Creek, since the other few options are in…read moredeep in Cary, or the other side of Durham. Fresh International Market, while isn't as large or vast as some other markets, has the staples of Asian cuisine ingredients. I was able to find plentiful mustard greens, bean sprouts, taro, daikon, etc. They even had balut! Which is an indication that a lot of old school families go there, since balut is a controversial yet deep rooted delicacy of the east. In terms of herbs though, they seem to have more Chinese herbs, than Vietnamese or Korean which is a pattern I'm noticing with Asian grocers. Whatever ethnicity owns a certain grocery, carries more food items of that ethnicity, as opposed to others. It took me a while to figure that out. Just like any other Asian grocers, they have a ton of veggies, meat, snacks and even cute ceramics - bowls, plates, dipping sauce dishes, utensils, etc. They also have a neat sit down or to-go hotpot bar, similar to a buffet style bar (although it's served to you) so you can build your own meal. I found that super neat and convenient for people who just want a quick bowl but not all of the fuss of small plates, and the overall hectic experience of hot pot. Connected to the store is a nice French bakery too, that adds to the convenience of this grocery store. Overall, a good place to secure all of your Asian grocery needs!

Fresh International Market's hot bar has solid value, but the overall experience was just okay…read more The biggest positive is the portion size. For $10.99 (three-item plate), you get a very generous amount of food, which is hard to beat. There are also a decent number of meat options to choose from. That said, the selection felt limited for anyone going meat-free, and more importantly, the food itself lacked flavor. The mapo tofu was disappointing, and the bok choy was pretty bland. Others in our group tried the orange chicken, which was described as okay, but nothing anyone would go out of their way for. Overall, it's filling and affordable, but not particularly memorable. Good for quantity, just not quality or standout flavor.
