Yes, please! - it's a small supermarket but I like it. There's only one register and the lady is super helpful and I thought it was cute because as people are shopping she's just getting her steps in walking around. I was greeted when I walked through the door even though I didn't see her. But I do like the variety. Would I come back... Yes! Happy shopping!!! read more

Great place, I really enjoy trying new items from here. They have an incredible selection and are reasonably priced. I will be back when I'm in the area. Great service as well and easy to get in and out of. Ample parking. read more

I sooooo appreciate a specialty market and feel very lucky they are in my neck of the woods. Produce is good quality and great selection of my needs. I bring a list of items to purchase and if I can't find them or figure it out, they are always kind and helpful. The store is small and clean and yes, while some things might be a higher price - I see this as a trade off to purchase items from across the world and conveniently located. This should be your go to Asian market! read more

August is a small and clean Chinese grocery store in Canton. Prices are slightly higher than the larger Chinese grocery stores in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti. The owners keep things very neatly organized and the vegetables in the back of the store are high quality and fresh with some of the items wrapped in plastic. There is a stamp card for loyal customers to get a percentage off after ten stamps. It would be nice to have a larger grocery store like the ones in Madison Heights and Ypsilanti, but at least there is an option for Canton and surrounding area residents to get Chinese groceries without leaving town. read more

They have everything asian, and the proprietor was very friendly and helpful. She had the sll the answers and ingredients for pad see'ew and singapore noodles that i planned to make. read more

Great place if you're needing supplies to make those special Asian dishes! They have fresh produce and ramen noodles! All kinds of spices and condiments! Very helpful and friendly! read more

I was looking for Ahi tuna and nobody carries it raw and consumable. All have to be cooked. When you want to make your own tuna tartare you need the good stuff. I got spoiled with Noble fish. I found this little shop and it had Ahi tuna though it was frozen. Nice clean store, the owners were extremely helpful and kind. Took care of me. I'll be going back again read more

Honesty over greed. I purchased eight 5lbs bags of a particular brand of sweet rice. I paid $14.99 for ea. Totaling $119.92. I sent my grandson to pick them up. I later found out that they carried the same rice in 25 lb bags for $40.00 ea. I could have purchased two bags in saved almost, $40.00. I would have brought three larger bags and paid $120.00 for 75 lbs instead of $119.92 for 40 lbs. It's a shame some stores pick greed over customer satisfaction and honestly. I would have been a loyal customer for life as I have been using this sweet rice for more than 50 years. It has recently become more popular in the Midwest and is harder to find. I'll keep looking. read more

Anyone who has grown up in the Canton Township, western Wayne County area will remember Koyama Shoten, which was a Japanese grocery and small book store that was in nearby Livonia. Sadly, that business is now closed after the owners retired. This Chinese marketplace fills the void left by this place very nicely. While the August Chinese Supermarket is not the largest by any stretch of the imagination, it more than makes up for it's smallness by being very well organized, and the owners clearly know what they have, and are willing to special order any items they don't carry on a regular basis. Anyone who's been in other Asian markets will immediately notice the lack of any smell or foul odors in this place, which was really surprising to say the least. This is a sign of how clean the place really is. August Chinese Supermarket carries a lot of different types of soy sauces that won't find in regular outlets like Kroger's or Walmart. They even carry Tempura dipping sauces, which really surprised me. When it comes to brand selection, they even handle Yamasa Soy Sauce that has been brewed since 1645 in Japan. The part I really like about this establishment is they have a balance of of Chinese, Korean, Philippine, and Japanese products. In fact, they also carry chopsticks, including the stainless steel Korean variety. So if you're looking to expand your culinary skills in the Far East, this is a great place to find what you need. read more

It was refreshing to find a Chinese grocery store in this suburb in the Midwest, where such ethnic grocery stores are slim pickings. Not just an Asian grocery store, but a Chinese one with many of the ingredients that you would find at a Chinese grocery store on the West Coast. For such a small store, they have a good selection of Chinese condiments, fresh Chinese vegetables, and a frozen meat area with many of the special cuts of meat used in Chinese cooking. The store is exceptionally clean, spic and span, and well organized. The staff is very friendly. This is a great little store, and I highly recommend it. read more

My go to when I need authentic Asian products. I recently went in for a few items and was so impressed with how fresh the produce looked I walked out with a bag of bean sprouts and Chinese spinach. The store is small but I've always been able to find what I need and it is PRISTINELY clean. I hate peeling garlic for recipes and they always have fresh garlic already peeled on hand. Oh did I mention that the prices are cheaper than the same items in the big box stores. read more

Great store, nice owners, and a good sized selection of essential Asian products. Whether you're Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, or any kind of Asian, I'm sure you'll be able to find most essential products in this store. Can be a bit pricier than some Asian markets I've been to, but it's nice and clean, well organized, and the workers are super nice. One time the cashier lady saw me having a hard time carrying this 30 pound bag of rice (I had just tweaked my back somehow earlier that day), and she, without me asking I should add, carried it to my truck for me! How nice is that?! read more

August Chinese Supermarket - Storefront - International Grocery Near Me - Canton, Michigan

Why am I living in a cultural black hole!? Downriver... can we please remedy this!? This place is another small gem. If you know anything about the Far East food trifecta, you'll also know that if you live in a place that has all three grocery markets, you'll know there is a vast difference between the three. Korean markets tend to be clean, with quality fresh fare, larger portions, but also expensive. Japanese markets also tend to be very clean, with quality fresh fare, small portions but very expensive as well. Chinese markets... dirty, fresh far, and relatively cheap. August Chinese Supermarket takes the cue from the cleanliness of the Japanese, the portions of the Korean, and the price point of the Chinese and makes it all work! It's small and obscure in the location but comparatively to H-Mart or 168 Market in Troy and One World Market out in Novi, for the size of the place, the price is distinctively great! In a quick fix for Chinese ingredients, this place is great! Especially since there isn't another Oriental grocery market within 10 square miles of IKEA. Great for pork bellies, Botan Rice Candy, and Chinese red bean bread buns along with your other Chinese ingredients from the fermented tofu to the dragonfruit laid out, makes for a very cozy experience! Definitely a hidden gem of a grocery market in Canton! If you know where to look... read more

After a disappointing trip out to Livonia, my wife and I came to found out that this Asian Market is just a 1/2 mile from us. Wish we had come here first. First let me say, this is probably the CLEANEST and most organized Asian market I have ever been to. Hidden away in a little shopping strip, the place couldn't be any less obvious about what it is (sign outside says CHINESE MARKET). They have a variety of pan-asian mixes and condiments (the wife and I found the shrimp paste [bagoong] we were looking for here), desserts, and other basic Asian cooking necessities. A limited selection of drinks and produce. All of their meat is frozen, and this too is limited in selection, though if you are looking for anything pig related (from snout to uterus) you should be able to find that here (frozen of course). Prices are a little higher than a typical Asian Market, but then again, this is the burbs. Debit and credit card accepted. Overall- meets the basic requirements of what I am looking for in Asian cooking. Not my first choice, but can't ignore the proximity. Celebrity Rating- Rob Schneider read more

I am the granddaughter of a grocer and grew up working in my grandfather's store. As a result of his teaching, I know how a grocery should be run and how the produce should be cared for. I especially love small grocery stores! August Asian market is an absolute jewel. The owners are attentive to their stocking of the store, offer an excellent selection, and present a beautiful selection of produce. The prices are very competitive with much larger markets. I don't live near August Market, but will back! read more

Excellent selections. Very fresh Asian vegetables that are not found in many supermarkets. We will go back there a lot from now on.

As other reviewers have said, this place is very small, but very clean and well-stocked. It might not have exactly what you need, and I would prefer a larger produce section (not much produce, but what they had was v. good), definitely no fresh meat (although frozen!), and the prices are a little on the high side. But hey! That's okay! This is the closest Asian market to my work, and it will do just fine. read more

I love this market. They have everything I need and prices are good and their shop is clean and well organized. I can always find the difficult Chinese fresh vegetables I am looking for without having to travel to Madison Heights. They are kind people and always helpful providing good service. read more

I was so happy to find this place. I didn't count, but it must have had at least 10 different varieties of soy sauce, maybe more. That makes me happy. Other reviewers are right about customer service. I was greeted by two friendly people and one woman offered to help me if I needed it. That alone gets an extra star. I was pleased to find a nice variety of Asian ingredients and the bok choy I purchased was very fresh. It is not a large market but it is very clean and well organized. read more

I really don't know why they are still selling a lot of expired goods! Please check the date before you buy something there. The price is expensive compared to other Chinese markets! read more

I'm sorry it took the time it did to review this charming shop. I greatly enjoyed the brief shopping I did here, as well as the pleasant customer experience I received from one of the ladies who work here who offered her help (in broken English) and personal opinion of what to purchase. I bought the curry paste on the rear shelf, a smaller package of rice noodles on the adjacent aisle as well as coconut milk and a huge portion of dehydrated seaweed flats - I spent ONLY 8$. This is going to, no doubt, make me a delicious curry and seaweed and rice noodle dish! Will return. May make a run by the "holiday market" across the street as well. Interior: 7/10 organized and clean but dated. Exterior: 6/10 a bit difficult to spot and find. Selection: 8/10 Price: 9/10 Staff Friendliness: 9/10 Likelihood of Returning: 9/10 read more

My wife is Chinese, and she likes this place. We live about 30 minutes away and make a trip here maybe once a month (where she spends like $100 on groceries that I find appalling). But, from my perspective, this place is very clean and organized. Everything is always in place. They have a ton of stuff my wife says she can't find anywhere else (as far as local box stores go). She usually loads up on frozen dumplings, noodles, meats, and an assortment of sauces. I tend to try some of their unique candies and fruit drinks, as well as Tsingtao beer. It's definitely not the place a common American would shop, but there's a Kroger down the road for that. Also, a few miles north is the Best China restaurant, which even I highly recommend. read more

I love coming here!!! I'm a huge fan of Dim Sum and they have huge freezers stocked with just about any kind of pork, beef, and other kinds of steamed buns. They not only specialize in Chinese food but also Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, and some Indian goods as well. The produce, fish, and meats selection is clean and well lit. Not at all what you think of when you'd go to a foreign market (in the Metro-Detroit area anyway). The staff are kind, friendly, and don't look down on you if you look over your head. I'm constantly asked, but not hassled, if I need help finding anything. This is just a great place to visit on the weekends to pick up spices, hard to find produce and fish. I would strongly suggest visiting the store on the weekend. The Ford rd. and I-275 interchange is a real nightmare during the work week. The store itself may look small from the outside, but it is packed with all those delicious hard to find Asian goods. The prices are also very good and well worth a trip. What more can I say.... I love this place! read more

August Chinese Supermarket is my favorite Asian market. I used to live in Japan, and my husband is Chinese-American. I can find all the ingredients I need to make his childhood-favorite dishes, or to try out a new recipe. I love the selection of fresh vegetables that are available, as well as the unusual meats. When I need salted duck eggs, or four different kinds of tofu, or tapioca pearls to make bubble tea, I head straight for August Chinese Supermarket. August can be hard to find - on the north side of Cherry Hill Road, just west of Lilley. It is in a strip with a Chinese massage place and a Thai restaurant. It's also just across from Holiday Market. Check it out: it is definitely worth a trip. read more

This is a great little market and the employees are very very helpful and pleasant! They didn't happen to have the item I was looking for but they definitely had a wide selection overall. I would certainly come back if I was looking for something else they might carry. read more

This place is very small and cramped. That being said, it has pretty much anything you could want if you are looking for Chinese groceries. My boyfriend and I wanted to make miso soup and both people working were super helpful in making sure we got all of the ingredients we needed. read more

I have been to this store many times, and each time I am blown away by how absolutely clean and organized this store is! The quality of their products is reflected in their prices--you can't expect very cheap prices for items that are well and fresh. I have met the owners(a couple) of this store. The husband is from Taiwan and he is super friendly and always trying his best to put the best produce and meat on the shelf. The wife is from Shanghai and she is usually the cashier. She has friendly smile and always make small conversations with the customers to make them feel welcomed. It sure beats some stores in Ann Arbor to say the least! I recommend it! They even have a website you can check out to see some products they have! http://www.chinesemarketusa.com/ read more

Fantastic market with a great selection of Chinese and other Asian ingredients. Also a great selection of fresh vegetables and also refrigerated and frozen items. You will find any condiment you need here as well. read more

My mom used to shop at evergreen market religiously, but we recently moved to Livonia so I went on Yelp to see if there was a closer alternative, after seeing the reviews. I brought my mom here, and she absolutely loved it and so did I! The place is so clean and organized and it doesn't have the weird smell that a lot of other Asian markets have. The vegetables are very fresh and they have a great selection of meat and fish at fair prices. The staff is extremely helpful!Definitely worth the trip! read more

If you plan to make any Asian dish, start here. Lots of hard to find ingredients, no running around town. Noodles, sauces, peppers, curry pastes, parts of pig you cannot find anywhere else, fresh Asian vegetables, all at reasonable prices. read more

I love this Asian market! The place is clean and well-organized. I could spend hours browsing all of their items. This is a great place to go to when you're feeling adventurous and wanting to try something out of the ordinary. The reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is b/c of the language barrier. It would be great to have someone to answer your questions as to what the labels mean, but so it goes with some specialty stores. I definitely recommend this place! read more

August is a smaller Asian market, but in some ways that is a plus. The staff are very helpful and friendly, even answering my multitude of questions with infinite patience. They've got a nice stock of items, and they;re right around the corner from my house, so convenience is a BIG plus! read more

Very small but varied Asian market. Hidden in the corner of the small strip mall across the street fr holiday market on cherry hill road. It is indeed very clean inside with well organized shelves. Good selection of items. Although I grew up eating Asian food I never learned how to cook it so going into an Asian grocery store I feel lost :/ my helplessness and lack of time restricted my purchases to some soy sauce, noodles/ramen, snack chips & cookies, and a barbecued pork impulse buy. Right before the checkout line there's a couple of racks with freshly baked Asian pastries & buns, BBQ pork, roast pork, and roast duck, which surprised me considering how small this place is. The pork was actually pretty good. I'm definitely going to try some of the pastries next time. read more

This place is great. Like everyone else has mentioned, it is very clean and well organized. My bf and I stopped in to pick up some things for sushi. It was our first time making sushi at home so we were a bit unsure of the complete process. The woman running the cash register was extremely helpful! She made sure we had all the right tools and ingredients. She was very sweet. It was nice to have that kind of customer service. The only downfall was that they only had frozen meats, nothing fresh. Holiday market across the street had the fresh sushi grade tuna we were searching for but they for sure didn't have the variety this place does for everything else. Great little store with wonderful service! read more

Market is small, no fresh meat or seafood only frozen. Prices are a little high and wish they had a bigger selection.

impressive selection of goods! the tapioca bubbles were out of stock last time I went, but the staff is always nice to me! its a small store, usually well stocked! You can get small amounts of vegetables here, good enough for a serving. The snacks are very good and its fun to try new ones once in a while! My favorite buys are the tapioca bubbles, the custard buns, and the aloe drink! (i have a bit of a sweet tooth haha) Next time im gonna get the high quality short grain rice! It comes in big bags and it seems worth the price! read more

This is probably the cleanest and nicest Chinese market in the area. For the size of the store they have a good selection and the staff is always very nice. We mainly go here to pickup fresh vegetables, tofu, and other basics when we don't have time to go to one for the bigger markets. read more

This is the best local Chinese market, folks. You'll have to journey out to Ann Arbor for anything better. While the selection of products could be larger, the market is making the most out of its space. It's extremely organized and clean. While the prices may be beat by some of the markets in Ann Arbor, they're the best I've seen in comparison to those of other local Chinese markets. I made a mistake in acquiring ingredient directions for Chinese cuisine online and the woman working the cashier was very kind in assisting me and telling me what general ingredients I would need for the dish. Though the utensils and tools are pricy, the store also has a few bamboo steamers, woks, etc. I definitely recommend the market. read more

This supermarket is very clean. Variety of Asian vegitable you cannot find at local store. Friendly staffs help me to find items and explain them everytime i go there. read more

Hi there. I would definitely shop at this store again. Friendly and helpful staff including fresh produce. See you guys soon! thanks
