A locally-owned place with a great selection and friendly, helpful service. You'll find packaged and bottled items from Thailand, Japan, China, Korea,Vietnam and the USA. They carry Miau-Miau snacks. There is a frozen case with a variety of seafood usual to SE Asian cuisine. Their cooking oil selection is good and includes quality Japanese sesame oil, not easy to find in Central Wisconsin. If you insist on using Kikkoman, they have it, but there are so many other soy and flavor sauces on the shelf, take the opportunity to branch out. This is where you go to buy non-Ramen ramen by the case. They also have Japanese Udon-in-a-bag.
Turn-over is FAST on the fruits and veggies here, so if you think you might need something, BUY IT: it may not be there in 24 hours. Chain grocery stores can't touch them on variety and affordable price for fresh mushrooms, eggplant of many types, greens, herbs and unusual tubers. Example: 2 BIG bunches of cilantro for 79 cents. Enough fresh shiitake to chef yourself into a coma: $2.00.The tofu case is loaded up once a week. Expect to pay a whole $1.50 for a block of House Foods tofu, your choice of firmness. This is also where to find lotus root, lemon grass and long bean at decent prices.
Finding the market can be tricky the first time, as it is tucked at the back of a nondescript brick mini-strip which has its short side toward the street. They are on the north side of Stanley and share the building with a laundromat and currently closed Marvin's restaurant. Heading west into Point on Stanley, if you make it to Charlie's Liquor or the BP, you went too far. The parking lot is pretty beat up, so take it easy driving in. read more
