Their products are great! Fresh and flavorful! But come early, it gets busy here! Despite the business, they've always had exactly what I wanted!

I was so disappointed with all the supermarkets good looking fresh seafood cases and almost always being disappointed because the fresh fish had bad smells and taste I very really buy fresh fish anymore so I decided to stop here because I really like fresh fish. The have a nice selection of fresh seafood and frozen seafood with other items in the coolers and packages of seafood related sides and related packages. They have a nice variety of smoked fish with a small wine selection. The coolers have all kinds items but I didn't really check them out because fresh was the only seafood I was getting. They have daily specials if you check the web site and that's what I did today with 20% off smoked items. I got a chunk of the wild Canadian smoked white fish and a fillet of Scotland farmed ocean trout as my first samples from the store.

They had an excellent Valentine's deal - 2 meats, 2 seafood, choice of app, choice of 2 desserts, and choice of wine all for $70. I went on a Saturday morning to pick up my reserved box, and though it was busy, I was helped quickly. The shrimp cocktail was the showstopper for us - plump, fresh shrimp with a great cocktail sauce. Can't wait to try some of their other items!

Excellent Korean street taco meal kit! Beef was tender and flavorful. Sides of a slaw/shredded cabbage mixture as well as pickled red onions and sliced green onions were just enough. We actually had six tacos from this kit. Four corn tortillas were included. We had flour in our house so used those for the two extras. I can't wait to see what's coming in two weeks! We loved the meal with pate a choux. Always flavorful and delicious. Reasonably priced as well.

Imagine how happy I was to find a place that sells sushi grade fish?! I was ecstatic!! This is so out of my way that I find it hard to frequent this place. I would come here regularly for more seafood if they were closer. Prices are pricey as expected. They had everything one would need in order to make sushi, which I found super convenient because that meant that I didn't have to go to other stores. Everything except for avocado or cucumber that is.... Anyway the store is clean and did not smell fishy to me. The employees are super friendly. I've never had a bad encounter at any of my visits. As long as we're still obsessed with making homemade sushi, this will be our go-to spot for sure.

Sorry, Can't stand even walking in this place, it reeks of rotted fish. A proper fish store should have a sweet, briny fragrance....

We weren't sure what to expect or if we would end up buying anything but when we walked in the…read morestore we were quickly greeted by Nora who was so awesome. she helped us find what we were looking for Lobsters for Mother's Day tomorrow and a Brisket for Father's Day and we bought some other things as well. We will be stopping back to stock up. If you're looking for a new place to shop or are near the store stop in!

First time here. I was attending a Yelp Event…read more I was super impressed with the store. I checked and there are lots of stores in the Chicago area but this appears to be the first in the Milwaukee area. It's a interesting concept. Everything is frozen, including meats, fish, vegetables and meals. There is a large selection of interesting, or what might be considered exotic foods. You can get cuts of Elk, Bison, and Venison. They have organ meats and oxtails. They have a large selection of shrimp, and some that are so big that you might mistake them for lobster. For many of the items, there are plenty of choices. For example there is not just one salmon or shrimp selection. They have at least 12 different types to choose from. For different locations, different types, different, and different types of production standards (organic, non-gmo, pasture raised, etc) The store is well organized. All of the standing freezers or wall units are neatly packed and well labeled. Pricing is easy to discern. It's easy to shop and find what you are looking for. I found the help to all be helpful, and friendly. The staff at the registers were patient, and chatty. I bought a couple of items, and looking forward to cooking up the pasture raised chicken (breasts) and the Gulf Coast shrimp. This is not my side of town, so it's a little out of my way. However, they explained that for $29 you can get a year of free deliveries. That's a great deal!

I practically live here. It's such a good market and we stop in to stock up at least once a month…read more Usually more. I can almost always find what I need here. Some Korean ingredients, some Japanese, Chinese. It's all in one convenient spot. They're well stocked on any buns and dumplings you'd need, veggies not carried in chain grocers, fresh meat and seafood, condiments for days. Teas, dried herbs, noodles, fresh baked goods, snacks, utensils and cookware. There's a lot packed into this little shop. The aisles can feel cramped at times, so patience is key. Take your time, maybe you'll discover some new! I really love the convenience of pre-sliced meats for cooking hotpot. Pre-packaged soup bases are also amazing. I'm a fan of little sheep brand. They also carry my favorite brand of milk tea from Japan. The wall of ramen is also impressive, as there are many varieties to choose from.

Since my last time here, seems like upkeep has been a problem. Produce was wilty, fish tanks were…read morefishy and smelly (and no, not all fish tanks reek. I can tell the difference between a clean fish tank and an unkept one), and price labels were missing. It felt cramped. On the plus side, everything was well stocked, I didn't see any expired shelf items, freezer section was clean and price was ok. Wish the upkeep is better so I don't feel as cringy when shopping here, since selection is good (minus produce and fish).

Recently we held a brat forward event and tried the traditional, honey mustard, jalapeño cheddar, Reuben and chicken feta. Each type was amazing. The honey mustard was a favorite for anyone who chose it. I tried both the jalapeño cheddar and the Reuben. I love a jalapeño cheddar brat and this is the best! Warm heat and perfect proportion of cheddar and sausage. Delicious right off the grill and amazing reheated later. Enjoyed with pasta for a lunch and with potatoes for a breakfast. I tried the Reuben brat out of curiosity. I am a fan of a Rachel and not a Reuben but gave this a go. It was wonderful. The perfection of flavors and the best cheese bite every bite of the sausage. Also reheated and was delicious as leftover. Could not recommend this place higher.

Bunzels is one of my favorite lunch spots on Fridays. I almost always get the fried cod sandwich…read more It's a great deal, two meaty pieces of cod and all the toppings you'd like for just over $5 on a fresh hoagie... I usually get cheddar, lettuce tomato, tartar, and creamy coleslaw on mine. As you can see from the picture it's usually enough for two meals. Yes, when you walk in around lunch time that deli counter will be swamped, but I encourage you to grab a number and know that these employees are efficient so you won't be waiting that long. Aside from the great lunch specials, they also have great customer service, everyone that works there is really friendly. I love bunzel's!

Seriously, it's like walking into another country!…read more Pan-Asian Supermarket is an experience all on its own. The variety of unique fruits, roots, vegetables, spices, and seafood is incredible. And when I say seafood, I mean it feels like walking into an actual fish market! I'm standing there thinking, Who eats eel? And then wondering, How exactly do you cook a jellyfish head?! And don't even get me started on the Balut egg... WHO is eating that?! But putting my adventurous-food questions aside, this is absolutely the place to come for all your stir-fry, curry, and ramen needs. They have an amazing selection of vegetables, sauces, oils, noodles, and rice--including plenty of options in bulk. The food court looked AMAZING, and whatever you do, DO NOT skip the bakery! The baked goods were soooo good. Whether you're looking for something familiar or want to venture way outside your comfort zone, this place has it all. We'll definitely be adding Pan-Asian Supermarket to our regular store rotation!

Asian grocery stores are my "happy place." When I lived in Texas I had no less than 4 Asian grocery…read morestores within a 2 miles radius of my home (if that). H Mart was my favorite, followed by Ranch 99. Unfortunately, here in Wisconsin, I have to now drive nearly 10 miles to get to the closest Asian market! So when I heard Pan Asian was opening in my area (2-3 years ago), I literally marked my calendar for opening day. I'm so happy they're a part of the community now! First off, today, LOUIS deserves a big gold star (if not a raise, hint hint, management, lol). Not only did he stop what he was doing, but walked me over to what I was looking for. TWICE. No eye-rolling, no exasperated sighs - nope, he just said "sure, it's right over here..." THAT kind of customer support alone goes MILES for those who are new or unfamiliar with a place (as I was), and makes me want to return again soon! Like many Asian stores, Pan Asian had elements of "chaos" throughout the store - they were doing lots of stocking when I was there (mid-afternoon on a Wednesday), and the music was a bit too loud (Note to management: background music is supposed to be just that - in the background, quiet and atmospheric - not a dance club). As at other stores, Pan Asian needs to keep tabs on their price tags - many were missing, or the product above the price tag was NOT the product on the tag, or 2 different but similar products by the same brand with only one price tag made shopping a bit frustrating. But as I always do, I'll have a short list of 3-5 items, and end up leaving with a cartful. ‍ For me it's easy to spend a solid hour or more there, just oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over all the exotic items, the live fish, the interesting kitchen goods (even if I can't read 99% of the labels). I always try to leave with something new to me; today, it was pickled plums (I've started making sushi and onigiri at home, and heard pickled plums were a Japanese favorite with onigiri). They're awesome, but very salty, indeed. Their produce section is large, amazing, and FRESH. Hard to choose what to get from that section, as well as their bountiful flavorings, sauces, Speaking of, I was thrilled to find that the store also has an incredible sushi selection and yes, even onigiri too (though TBT the price was a bit steeper than I hoped, and I could not find any onigiri molds in their hard goods section). I must admit that several items I looked at throughout the store seemed rather pricey - not sure if that a tariffs thing, or an import thing - so I will stick with Woodman's for my "regular" shopping, while supplementing with more of the fun Asian items I find at Pan Asian!
