Such a neat place! Driving around edwardsville I ran into the spot and decided to give it a try…read more The owner possibly or the worker that day was nice and greeted me as I walked in and told me about a few prices and deals. I grabbed a few cool things to try and even if they weren't my favorite thing it was still fun to check out the smells and textures of things I normally wouldn't see or buy. I even signed up for rewards because I was told they're always bringing in new things so I'd love to go back and try some more!

This place is such a wonderful addition to this area! The selection is enticing, the service was…read moretop tier, and the products have so far been superb! I have tried some Baklava, an elote dip, and some garlic naan (w/ my homemade chicken schwarma :) ). Everything has been phenomenal! I'm planning future meals knowing this place can be a go-to for the actual flavor I seek.

If I need Thai or Holy basil, I head for Global Foods!…read more This time in I had no service at all so I couldn't check in and take photos. I got the Holy Basil, some bean sprouts, taro root (makes great chips!), a bag of mini chocolate stars, and salty black licorice. I love going up and down the aisles! Always something new to see. Go in and walk around and find a lot of treasures!

This is a much smaller space than I was expecting, but it had a good amount of international items…read more We came by looking for specific Filipino condiments, and was happy to find bagoong (shrimp paste). It was about $4.00 cheaper compared to another Asian market. They also had various Filipino frozen goods: tocino, longganisa, lumpia, and frozen meals. I was impressed by their Japanese goods section, but I didn't need anything at the time! The parking lot is small, so just be mindful getting in and out.

Jay's international market is the go-to place in S City to buy many international foods and produce…read morethat you're looking for. I have been there several times for produce, European foods, and international snacks. I like that the store is laid out by country, which makes it so much easier to find what I'm looking for. Some of the male workers that I have encountered have always been really helpful in helping me find what I'm looking for or some type of substitute.

If you go up and down every aisle, it's like a trip around the world…read more As you shop, you will find items that you didn't know you needed. Also, don't be afraid to ask employees questions, they'll be happy to assist. My last visit, I was with a friend who was shopping to make spring rolls and he got assistance from a little old Vietnamese lady who was a customer herself. Listening to her explain all the detailed steps made us both smile. Be smart when shopping the canned goods, some items can be more expensive. However, the fresh vegetables are always a good value. The meat department makes me cringe, but I know that is just me being quirky. My friend gives it a thumbs up. Customer service is okay, nothing outstanding and nothing bad. It's just okay. The cashiers get you out the door in an orderly way.

This is one of my go-to grocery stores whenever I'm in the area or have a break between classes…read more The layout makes everything easy to find, so I'm never wasting time in between classes. They've got a solid selection of grab-and-go snacks and meals that actually taste good. It's become my regular stop for a quick bite or to grab a few things before heading back to campus. Highly recommend if you need something fast

Glad to find this spot while staying at the nearby Moonrise Hotel. Sometimes when traveling solo, I…read morelike to load up on water so I don't have to drink out of hotel sinks during my stay. I was happy to find some fantastic canned cold brews as well, so I was covered with my "coffee before the real coffee" the next morning. I might have a problem. The vibe in here is good when you walk in, a little weird towards the back. I'm not sure if part of the back was open or storage, it got darker and more isolated. There were tons of other snacks and a lot of Asian specialty items as well. Nice to have a store anchored in a busier area and near the university. I will definitely pop in here again if staying in the Loop.

My son wanted this ice cream he saw on TikTok which he said is big in Asia. He wasn't sure where to…read moreget it so we decided to check out this supermarket. Wow this place has everything. You will be hit with the fresh smell of fish as you walk in but don't let that deter you. As you can see from the outside, it's huge. They have a food and drink that can be ordered and made. I saw a beauty area. It's huge. I need to come back and check it out during the week day because it's crowded during the weekend. The staff at the checkout counter isn't the friendliest but not a big deal.

We went here because it came up as a doner kabob place on Google. I felt like having one, so we…read morewent here. I was surprised to find out it is not a restaurant, but a grocery store that has a small area on the side that makes and serves food. I placed my order and waited. They had a rather limited menu, but I have to say, what they did, they did well. My kebab was good, even if it looked different than I expected. It was essentially a large sandwich. But it was made with the meat shaved off the spit as it rotates, and that was good. I didnt have to wait long for it either. I did not see a place to eat it there, so we got ours to go. I didnt get a chance to look around the store, but would like to next time I go. I imagine they have a lot of unusual food items from other parts of the world, particularly the Middle East. I would go here again, especially now that I have a better idea what to expect.
