Store was clean, items were easy to find, i grabbed some shrimp chips on sale and a bag of peanut shrimp snacks. They have all their marinated meats as they are known for and fresh seafood ready to bring home and cook. They do have this seaweed crunch snack i posted in photo section, it's pretty addicting!! Service was quick and easy, staff were restocking a bunch of items constantly when we were browsing! Next to many good food spots with plenty of parking along the green line T.

I'm honestly so happy to see a bunch of HMart locations are opening in MA!…read more Though this one isn't that new, it's still crazy thinking about how it was just a few years ago that we only had one HMart around, in Burlington! This HMart is situated right on the same strip as Gyu-Kaku & Kyuramen + walking distance to the new bustling Asian restaurants on Beacon St... great addition to Brookline ;)) I'd say this is one of the smaller Hmarts I've been to, might even go as far as to say smallest? It's smaller than the one in Cambridge with only about 4-5 aisles & smaller selection of fruits, vegetables, meats, & seafood but they do a good job with carrying most stuff you'd find at your typical HMart. In the front of the store, they offer baked sweet potatoes, which I always thought that was cool. Usually never see that at the other locations. Only downside to HMart Brookline that I've found is that they don't have a food hall/court area like Cambridge/Quincy/Burlington but then again, there's so many yummy restaurants around haha. Parking: I don't believe there's a parking lot that is just for customers. There is plenty of street parking though!

Great place if you are looking for traditional Chinese herbal medicine. The store itself feels…read morecluttered due to its size but is still organized and actually smells really nice. The woman working there did speak some English but you will have an easier time if you are/come with a Cantonese speaker. I only bought some cough drops but the prices in general seem pretty affordable. Would come back.

While walking around Boston's Chinatown, I stumbled upon a small store located a basement hidden…read morebelow the many fabulous restaurants that most people come to Chinatown for. I lucky spotted a door open at the bottom of a long set of stairs. To my surprise there were people hustling and bustling below. I also saw a bunch of boxes and decided to take a quick closer peek at what was going on below street level. I ventured down a few steps and to my surprise saw a full blown old fashion Asian Apothecary store complete with an older woman behind a counter mixing multiple herbs and dried roots and wrapping them in brown paper. The store was impressive with the high quality of the Apothecary here, from ginseng roots and extracts to 50 lb bags of miscellaneous dried mushrooms to lotus flowers etc. I purchased some Korean Ginseng Tea at a very reasonable price. This is a great find, next time I will inquire if they have any Goji Berry products or Lingzhi Mushrooms which are somewhat difficult finds. I give Kok Wa Co a Solid 4 Stars. I may have gone up to 5 if I could have communicated with them.

The owner was very pleasant and answered any questions I had hence the 5 stars. I would have given 4 due to some supply limitations, but it wouldn't have been fair.

Hey, listen: this is important information. They have Choco Tacos! Should you be in East Cambridge…read moreand suddenly NEED a Choco Taco (hey, it happens) you'll know exactly where to come. You're welcome. Also they have other convenience store items, many of questionable origin. The edibles all seem to be within date which is more than I can say for the Shaw's down the street. The trouble is finding anything. the place is so packed with whos-a-ma-whatz-its, thing-a-ma-bobs, and things I can't pronounce that it's a tad overwhelming. On the baked goods shelf they often have conchas. These take me back. Grandma LOVED them and really tried to get me to love them. Sadly that didn't work out. But I know that I can visit them every now and then an look back on those days fondly. You should peep the paper strip that apparently (maybe in the 70s?) held pacifiers. How convenient that strip of binkies must have been several decades ago. Random. There is usually someone scratching tickets in the doorway (what is it with scratch tickets here?) and someone yelling about Mass Millions up front. This can be inconvenient if you are on a Choco Taco mission; but fear not, taco-y goodness is at hand and for a mere $1.75. Woohoo! So yeah, go. Get your taco on. Live well.

One of the great things about the South End is it's diversity. Don Quijote is a tribute to that…read more This Spanish food market has the little items that you can't find in "American" supermarkets that are essential for creating Latin food. What's great about this place is that when you walk in you can see that it's not the usual grocery store where you buy your things and leave. Locals, especially Spanish speaking ones seem to hang around and chat about with the people that work there. It has a real family atmosphere to it. You'll find a good mix of Latin products along with everyday "American" food given the store's size. My one gripe which is keeping me from adding another star is their lack of tortillas. As a staple of Latin food I would expect a wide variety of them. For those not accustomed to cookie Latin food you can even find prem-made Taco Bell kits. I'm not sure if that is something for the store to be proud of, but hey...it works.
