I discovered this place a long time ago after a fruitless trip to the Beechnut/Beltway area looking for a proper Asian water boiler (the good ones). I remember that day not finding what I needed and remembering having driven through this little Korean area a while back in Spring Branch and figured I'd give it a shot. Fast forward to today: I've been coming to Cedar Tree for years. They're a great part of Spring Branch's Korean area and are some of the nicest people you'd ever meet. I can't tell you the last time I went to Beechnut at the Beltway. This part of town is W-A-Y better.
Cedar Tree has a wide array of household goods from Asia - primarily Korea - and they're my go-to place for quite a few items. On the right side of the store is a cosmetics counter with a wide array of cosmetics of Asian origin geared toward the ladies. This isn't the stuff you'd find at the counter at Macy's...this is the real deal Asian cosmetics. The rest of the store is dedicated to kitchen and housewares and, in their small space, cram some of the best selection of Asian appliances you'll ever find. This is where I focus my attention. They have a massive selection of high quality rice cookers, water heaters, noodle cookers, and all manner of Asian kitchen appliances. If you're looking for the good stuff, you've found it. They also have a whole aisle of kitchen utensils from Asia as well as plates, cups, and all kinds of stuff. They even sell the Japanese electronic toilet seats! They have everything you'd need to do a full Korean makeover on your household.
I've been sending people here for many years and they always take good care of people. The owners (husband/wife) are on site, they speak English very well, and are warm and inviting! You won't be sorry you tried this place! read more
