The foodie in me is so glad this Asian supermarket exists!! I've come across a wide variety of…read moreAsian foods and goods in this store. They sell Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and goods from other Asian countries. I've recently found fresh and dry Asian noodles at the store for a cheap price, which cost 2-3x more money in other chain supermarkets like Walmart and Target, HUGE plus for World Market. What really took me off guard and surprised me was that they also make fresh and sell various boba tea and bubble waffles with and without ice cream.

Crying in HMart? Impossible in STL given that there isn't one here (@HMart I am begging you to open…read morehere), but World Market or Cho Quoc Te is a close alternative. Vietnamese/Asian supermarkets are very nostalgic to me from being the number one childhood activity with my mother, and World Market did not disappoint. Every bit of it screamed home to me, from the lingering smell of raw fish and plethora of seasonings to the 7356495 brands for the same jarred goods to the overfilled carts of every mom's meal prep for a family of 4+ for an entire week. The grocery store itself is about smaller to medium-sized and produce seemed okay. What was really fantastic about it was that it had a lot of other businesses incorporated inside of it -- a pharmacy, to-go food on the ready, a dessert bar, etc. I especially loved the premade meals, and they had great variety. Some notable mentions from picking up an assortment of things -- the pandan soymilk was solid; the che khoai mon (taro pudding) was good; the che banh lot (pandan and coconut milk starch pudding) was also good, and I appreciated that it was just banh lot with no extra accouterments; the pate chaud was surprisingly really good (not too peppery or salty, just perfectly buttery and flakey with the right amount of flavor). In addition to not having to hit triple digits for a small grocery run (which seems to be the case everywhere else), it was really nice having so many things available. I'll definitely be back here more often to try more of their premade dishes and for the serotonin.

If you're looking for an international market this isn't it…read more If you're looking for primarily an asian market then this is the place you're looking for. i will let the pictures speak for themselves for the most part. what is not showing (and what was lacking today) was the fresh seafood in aquarium tanks in the back part of the store. i can't rightly remember all there was but quite a bit of shellfish. speaking of which, the frozen section is full of seafood. all the different types of fish you see on your favorite asian youtube cooking channels. the one thing i'll caution you about is KNOW WHAT YOU'RE BUYING BEFORE YOU DO. we bought fish to try something new and as soon as it had thawed out the entire house smelled like ass and stayed that way for daayyyyyys. a good selection of fresh vegetables and fruits. beef, pork, chicken. a lot of eggs. there is also a pharmacy there. btw i don't think they have japanese mayo. we looked everywhere.

Roger's Produce is a gem. No, it's not fancy, and it's definitely not in pristine shape either…read more However, if you want to support a family owned business instead of giving overpriced grocery stores your money, this is the place to do it. I feel better going here than Kirkwood Farmer's Market because it's lesser known and the prices are cheaper. Don't get me wrong, I love both, but Roger's is cheaper and sometimes has even better looking vegetables. They have a pretty good selection of pumpkins; most are uniquely shaped/colored. Nice spot!

I usually don't like to spend more than 3 dollars on a taco, but these are loaded with everything and very much worth the price (4) They are filling and the toppings are always fresh. Love them!

Also, don't be afraid to ask employees questions, they'll be happy to assist. My last visit, I was with a friend who was shopping to make spring rolls and he got assistance from a little old Vietnamese lady who was a customer herself. Listening to her explain all the detailed steps made us both smile. Be smart when shopping the canned goods, some items can be more expensive. However, the fresh vegetables are always a good value. The meat department makes me cringe, but I know that is just me being quirky. My friend gives it a thumbs up. Customer service is okay, nothing outstanding and nothing bad. It's just okay. The cashiers get you out the door in an orderly way.

-- Great Selection, But Room for Improvement…read more Jay International Food is one of my go-to spots for variety -- you can find ingredients and products here that are hard to track down anywhere else in St. Louis. The international selection is truly impressive, and it's the main reason I keep coming back. That said, the store could use a little TLC. While I've noticed improvements over time, it would be even better with a deeper, more consistent clean. The staff gets the job done, but a bit more warmth and friendliness would go a long way toward making the shopping experience as inviting as the selection itself. Bottom line: I'll keep shopping here because the variety is unbeatable, but I'm hoping to see the atmosphere match the amazing products on the shelves.

Unfortunately, the crime in this area has made them employ off duty, police officers, and security guards. The parking lot is notorious for crime.
