Just happened upon this place when we went for lunch at Royal Bamboo next store on Christmas Eve. (Actually, we did not know either business was there.) Kind of hard to find; the building faces Coit, but is set back some distance from the street. Pull in at the Post Office, and drive toward the buildings in the rear. However, when you do find it, and go in to the store, you will likely experience jaw drop! The store is so much bigger than it appears from the outside. Aisle, after aisle, after aisle of just really neat stuff. There are large, industrial kitchen things; but there is also a ton of really wonderful things for any small restaurant, or even home cooks, as well. Just wandered around for about 30 minutes in awe. Possibly not the most tidy store in the world, (the entry area is kind of weird) but that is a small issue, really. Staff was very friendly at checkout, but did not hover at all as I browsed.
I have been a big fan of restaurant supply stores for many years (home cook, not in the business). I have been to probably every store in Dallas and Collin counties over the past 3 decades, and I do not recall any store being as much fun to explore as this one. Prices seemed as good, or maybe even better, than other stores of the sort.
