Price wise it is very similar to Harris teeter sum items being a little more expensive but totally worth it!

I bought a Boar's Head Chef's salad and it was amazing! It had Boar's Head turkey and ham and cubes of spicy cheese. It had cucumber, a boiled egg, and black olives. There was a side of pico in the box that I could easily remove. I really like the packet of jalapeño ranch that came with it! It's a big salad and it was only $9. I plan to stock up on these as my "meal prep" for the week. It would be more expensive if we bought the stuff to make the salads ourselves. I feel like I just unlocked a cheat code!

And they have a lot of fish options and dairy free. This store has a great hot and salad bar too for plus a hot breakfast bar in the am. I tried the chicken salad they prepared and it was tasty. The chicken was fresh and they use good mayo. They had several options too. They had many premade meals to purchase which is handy for those needing a break from cooking.

| Overview +…read moreConvenient grocery for Asian products + Seafood section is reliable and prices are generally cheaper than H-Mart + Larger area than Grand Asia Market in Raleigh + Affordable Chinese food & noodle dishes from its food concession + Bakery inside is nice - Not the best prices for Kimchi - Lacking Korean favorites and fresh foods that H-Mart offers - Unfriendly customer service - Dining area is often not clean - Some Chinese frozen & canned products are questionable. - Food concession lacks the variety we enjoy in H-Mart and Grand Asia | Recommended Filipino snacks: Clover chips (Cheese flavor) and Nagaraya (Garlic flavor) cracker nuts. Sometimes, these are not available, however. | Full Review My girl & I have been here multiple times to buy ingredients for Asian dishes. We often get fresh salmon and shrimps from the seafood section, and we appreciate how seafood here are generallt cheaper compared to H-Mart in Cary. However, H-Mart is still more reliable overall when it comes to other products like kimchi, Korean side dishes, marinated meats, and various other Asian products. Unlike H-Mart's Korean focus, Li Ming's is primarily Chinese, so it's more line Grand Asia Market in Raleigh. One good thing we like in Li Ming's over Grand Asia is that it's less crowded and more spacious areas. Although it can get crowded here at times, it doesn't feel as congested as Grand Asia's constant overflow of customers coming and going. However, when it comes to the different goods you can get from Grand Asia's restaurant/cafe/bakery, Li Ming's Global Mart falls short. All you can get in Li Ming's are mostly mediocre-tasting Chinese food that goes well with rice and some noodle bowls that may be too salty to some people. The bakery inside Li Ming's is nice; we used to buy egg tarts and curry bread here. It's no Tours les Jours but it's not bad. They also offer boba milk tea but we wouldn't recommend it. As for the canned/preserved/frozen foods in the grocery section, generally, we prefer Korean brands over Chinese ones, so overall, we still prefer going to H-Mart for buying Asian products. Just like in H-Mart, we've seen unfriendly customer service in Li Ming's but no major issues. The most problematic one was when we tried to dine-in and get the 3 choices of food with white rice, and the lady serving had an attitude, and did'nt put enough fish on our plate. | Overall Score: 3.3/5

When I come to Fresh International Market, I don't come to shop, I come to eat. As someone who…read morevalues the bang for your buck, a place that will offer you rice and three sides for less than $12 is always going to make me happy. Okay, I am not going to forget the rest of the store. Fresh International is the closest place to me that does Chinese centric groceries, which is a necessity at times. Sure, H-Mart is closer to me, but some days I just prefer using the soft Chinese tofu instead of the Korean option. Not only that, but they have a better selection of rice and other snacks and treats. There is a seafood counter, butcher, a bakery attached, and the main attraction for me, their hot bar. The hot bar is cafeteria style in which you point to what you want in front of you. There is a blend of traditional Chinese options and some other more Americanized options. They have all different types of meats, including steamed fish, pork, chicken, etc, as well as tofu and vegetable options. The most expensive option is the $10.99 rice and three options, which is already a bargain in this economy. The food itself is solid for the price, and is very fulfilling. I would totally have this every lunch! Attached to the hot bar is the Chinese BBQ section. There, you can get roast pork, duck and other fresh meats. Their roast pork with the crispy skin absolutely rocks. The meat is tender and the skin is crispy and crunchy. My only problem with Fresh International are their hours. Their hot bar closes at 6:30 PM, while the store stays open until 9. I came at 7:00 PM and they were already wrapped up! Bummer! Make sure to come at lunch while the food is hot and fresh!

Fresh International Market's hot bar has solid value, but the overall experience was just okay…read more The biggest positive is the portion size. For $10.99 (three-item plate), you get a very generous amount of food, which is hard to beat. There are also a decent number of meat options to choose from. That said, the selection felt limited for anyone going meat-free, and more importantly, the food itself lacked flavor. The mapo tofu was disappointing, and the bok choy was pretty bland. Others in our group tried the orange chicken, which was described as okay, but nothing anyone would go out of their way for. Overall, it's filling and affordable, but not particularly memorable. Good for quantity, just not quality or standout flavor.

When I pointed this out to the female owner, she very rudely retorted that that is why the item was discounted. That made me recollect that about a year ago I found plain lachchi (yogurt drink) outdated by about a month. At that time, I noted the expiration date after the rotten taste in trying to drink it. Glad I recently discovered "Spice Bazaar" nearby. Plan to not only more carefully check for expiration dates, but also minimize groceries from South Asian stores.

Not great, but fine. The problem I had was mainly the person working there. They weren't rude, but they were definitely not even getting close to friendly. They also not only did not have a sign asking patrons to wear masks (as is currently the law) but the employee working was not wearing a mask either. He did not even attempt to correct it. He went into the back a couple times while I was shopping and, at no time did he return with a mask on. Lastly, one of the things I love about Spice Bazaar is that, the instant you walk in, you are hit with the wonderful smell of all these spices. Little Indian just kind of smells musty, leading me to believe the spices are older or not as fresh. I'll go back in if I absolutely need to, but plan on being more organized with my grocery shopping so I don't have to.

It's one of those stores that strike a bit of curiosity as you walk by, so much that your head turns and before you know it, you're browsing inside. We happened to see it since there were many vendors set up outside on a Saturday afternoon. We weren't sure what we were looking at when we first walked in, but the moment we saw all the goodies on the tables, we knew it was a boutique shop with lots of unique and local items. They sell all sorts of treats, to teas, to dog treats, to sauces, soaps, jams, produce to even ready made food (although I didn't get to take a peek at what kind). I do wish it were more closer to the street so that it could get more visibility, but I'm sure with how cute the store is, people who remember to make a stop here. If you're in the Foster Street area, check it out! (Side note: wow, I just realized that they also have another location in the RTP, how neat!)
