I really like this place. Super nice people. And this is the closest place outside of a city where I can find an Asian market. The selection is pretty wide for its size, but it's still pretty limited. To be honest, I wish they had some stuff like tobiko and masago, or Chelsea candy, or Meltykiss. On a positive note, they have dumplings, baozi, and xiaolongbao with pork filling. All the dumplings I find in western grocery stores are filled with chicken, and honestly, that's pretty much the same crime as a tofurkey. You want real dumplings? Get pork dumplings. I wish they had them in like... 5 lb bags like you can find in Kam Man up in Quincy, though. They have a lot of the more popular selections, with wider varieties, as well. Lots of ramune, many, many types of noodles, shiro and awase miso (I think they also have aka miso, but I didn't notice), lots of teas. I think I also saw some big bags of rice cakes for making tteokbokki. Also, if you like making food from scratch for yourself, they have a pretty good selection of harder to find ingredients. Like, different types of soy sauces, calamansi juice, star anise, etc. They even have kansui if you want to make ramen from scratch. I'll be coming here more often in the future. read more

Under new management! New owner is fluent in English. Another lady who works there can speak enough to help you out. So much of an improvement customer service wise. Ethnic food shopping can be frustrating especially when you're looking for something in particular. Another huge improvement- credit/debit payments! Minimum purchase of $15. New Point Of Sale for itemized receipts. Like I've said earlier- freshly cooked meats, and veggies, and pastries ($2 for various baked pastries) every Thursday. My family goes nuts for the baked roast pork buns. They're 8 small buns for $7.50. Heat them up for like 40 seconds. As for the bbq meats they may have roast pork (cha sieu), fire roasted pig (lechon), roasted duck, soy sauced chicken, salted chicken, white cut chicken (ba chi gai) and others depending on availability. For the fire roasted pig I suggest heating it up in a broiler, skin side up, on a low rack and watch it carefully. The skin will be perfectly crispy like chicharrones (pork rinds). I like that this place sells the veggies by the pound and you bag them yourself. Many times I've bought prepackaged veggies to find some not so fresh ones in the package. Also I don't like to buy that many veggies usually so I like to pick up just enough for what I need. Since the management change I have been here every Thursday. Glad to see the many needed upgrades! read more

See all

We were on the hunt for MSG for a recipe and this store came up in our search. Very happy we found this place. We got our MSG and then some! Great selection of Chinese, Japanese, Thai spices, sauces, condiments, chips, candies, cookies. We got some fresh baby bok choy that was the best I have seen in a long time. They also had some beautiful dragonfruit. The staff and other patrons were very friendly and helpful. read more

Great selection and very helpful employees. We ended up going back with our neighbors for a second round.

Very reasonably priced fresh vegetables such as scallions, pak choi, Chinese cabbage and they have some fruit. Frozen food such as dumplins are also available. Great place to pick up spices, sesame oil, soy sauce, ect. Staff is very friendly read more

Ramune soda! Great customer service, helpful with a smile. A little disorganized, but you haven't been in an authentic Chinese grocery if this is a concern. Cash only, so come prepared. The jelly snacks suck, but that might be personal preference. read more

Very neat little store having most of the necessities to cook up a nice Chinese meal, I was particularly impressed with the large variety of fresh vegetables. If you dine at the Golden Chopstix then stop by and check out the store located next door. read more

We love this little gem, it has everything you need, and some great prices! It's a cash only store so be prepared for that.

I agree with Michele L's review, which is comprehensive. I just want to briefly note that it would be useful to note that they only take cash, no credit cards. It is tiny but had what I wanted: stuff to make bi no sunomono, which is a Japans dish, none of which I could get at the nearby Stop & Shop. read more
