We've been regular customers at this store for quite some time, often stopping in while my children attend piano lessons right across the street. It's been a convenient and familiar place for us, which is why this experience was so disappointing. During our most recent visit, my daughter walked in holding an apple she was already eating as we browsed. Almost immediately, the teller confronted us in a way that felt unnecessary insisting that she could not eat the apple inside the store. The manner in which this was handled felt far beyond a simple policy reminder--it felt uncomfortable. As an African-American family, the interaction left us feeling singled out and disrespected in a place we had previously felt welcome. No customer should be made to feel this way--especially in a business we've supported repeatedly. Based on this experience, I would strongly caution others, particularly African-American families, to think twice before visiting this location. read more

Michael and Meena, the owners are wonder, helpful, friendly people. The store has a great selection of fresh veggies and fresh meats. Their coolers are full of all the Asian ingredients you could want. They have some things that no other market in town has. And if they don't have something that you want, they can order it for you. The kimchi is very good. They are open 7 days a week. I think their fresh seafood and veggies come in on Tuesday afternoons. I highly recommend this store especially over the much bigger store by 88 Buffet. They even have some Vietnamese prepared good. Even though they have food from all over Asia, I think they specialize in Chinese . Michael will always tell me how how to cook vegetables that I know nothing about. read more

I love this little market! Not only do they have a great selection for a store that doesn't have a ton of space but the staff there is always so friendly. read more

I was looking for Chinese black vinegar and decided to stop by this store off high 72 heading towards Madison. It's been many years since I was in this store as it is not convenient to where I live. Inside the shelves are stocked with varieties of sauces that aren't available in other Asian stores. I found Chinese black vinegar to purchase. It wasn't the brand I normally buy from Hong Kong but it looked to be suitable for my needs. This store has a lot of fresh produce, fish and blue crabs. I saw two women tangling with the crabs and that gave me a moment to chuckle. Those blue crabs were resisting being put in bags for purchase. There's kitchenwares and various other household items for sale here. If you are looking to purchase oriental bowls, plates, cookware and chopsticks they are here at reasonable prices. If you like adventure eating, please stop by and check out their goods. I was surprised to see durian! Durian has a unique taste and 98% of my friends will not eat it. read more

Little Asian market filled with everything you need. Yes, the ailes are a little crowded, but it's just an opportunity to find new things to try. The produce and seafood are always fresh, so if you need something you can't find anywhere, they probably have it there. On Thursdays and Saturdays after 4 pm, they have fresh Dim Sum that's absolutely delicious. Just take home and steam , and don't forget to get a box of green or jasmin tea to wash it down. Oh, and if you don't have steamer baskets, they also sell those there. I love cooking Asian food, and I get all my ingredients there. And if you're not much of a cook, they also have tons of frozen already prepared goodies. read more

Pretty much everything you could need to make Asian dishes can be found here. Their ramen selection is top notch!!! Check out the frozen dishes as well! Can't go wrong. read more

Just moved the area about a month ago and finally visited the Asian Market. I wasn't expecting much, but we found boba and our favorite brand of rice. The Three Ladies Jasmine Rice. Omg it's so good. I've only recently learned about it and when we found out we were moving I was scared I wouldn't be able to find it here. And while most groceries here in Alabama is surprisingly more expensive than Southern CA the rice was about the same price (maybe just a touch more) than I would have gotten it in SoCal at a small asian market. Oh they also have thai tea leaves! I just ordered it on Amazon but it is actually cheaper at this market so when we run out I know where to go! It's a nice market. I wish there was more of a noodle selection there but they have a lot of things to cover your basic needs! read more

Still exploring different Asian markets here in the Huntsville/Madison area. I like this one. Great variety! Even fresh seafood. All the sauces, vinegars, noodles, and more. The customer service and friendly owners are especially helpful! I'll be back. read more

Fantastic place! I can't believe all of the groceries available. This is definitely my new go-to store!

The folks were super friendly and helpful! Everything I needed was there! And all was very delicious!

I may actually prefer the Madison branch to the Huntsville one. Be that as it may or may not, this nice, clean, bright store is located in Richland Plaza, just a short hop from the forebodingly named Slaughter Road. Visiting here was a pleasant experience made all the more agreeable by the owner's son, Ruowen Zheng, who served as a temporary, impromptu guide, answering all questions, making recommendations, clearing up confusion, and pointing out new and/or favorite items. Every international grocery needs this, but as my grandmother would say, "Wish in one hand..." Far East Madison (it needs its own name; perhaps West Far East?) is a nice, bright market. I am told produce comes in fresh on various days, but apparently a treasure trove arrives on Tuesdays, if the well-stocked aisle, surrounded by recently delivered boxes, is any indication. As you walk in, the register's on the left, the aforementioned produce is dead ahead, and the candy and snacks selection begins on the right. You'll find many of the usual brands, such as Pocky, Hello Panda, and KitKats, stocked next to a load of Mochi. I did find Bali's Best coffee candies, which I love, but also got the chance to try Jack 'n Jill X.O. Classic Coffee Candy: a welcomed change and something new, but I'm sticking with the superior, "creamy" Bali's Best offerings, and am not alone in that feeling. On my first visit, I was gifted with a bag of Hongyuan Hard Candy (Guava), which I'm told is very popular, despite being a somewhat singular flavor. Some of my friends enjoyed it, while others said nothing which, ironically, says a lot. Ruowen tried in vain to sell me on the Cooked, Marinated Eggs, which sat in bags right on the shelf with all those other things that actually have SHELF LIVES, but it was no go. I'm as experimental as the next foodie, but those experiments don't include bringing myself back after flat-lining, no matter how many questions I have for my great-grandparents. He says his mother makes her own version for him at home. It's up to you to determine whether that's an "I Remember Mama" move, or a "Mommy Dearest." You'll note I said the snacks "begin" here, because there's another aisle with even more Cookies, Wafers, and Crackers, some of which are Filipino. That's particularly nice to know, given products from the Philippines are much harder to find since Sunshine Filipino Grocery moved from Highway 72 and onto the archived City Directory shelf of the Library's Heritage Room. As is to be expected, there's an area literally teeming with dried Soups (they referred to it as their "Ramen Aisle"); a very varied Rice selection, including Black Glutinous and Purple varieties; and a sizeable Coffee/Tea area, which even included those beautiful, yet muted-colored, cans of Café du Monde...but alas, no beignets. If you buy it, just deck out in purple and green, throw some powdered sugar all over yourself, and dream of Justin Wilson. Of course, you'll happen upon assorted Spices and what one might call "fixin's"...of all stripes. Imported, canned seafood is common, so I tried both Eel and Squid...and would take them over Sardines any day, though I need to check on the comparative cholesterol levels and I halted a moment when I felt that I might have been eating what were in fact tiny squid BEAKS. Either way, these would be handy and pertinent décor for the aforementioned NOLA experience. There's a wealth of freezer items, including many which I'm told appeal particularly to the area vegans and vegetarians who are frequent customers. In my carnivorous case, the frozen, already prepped Squid most readily caught my eye. I've stir-fried the fresh version on many an occasion, but some of FE's ice-covered cephalopods were not only already sliced up, they boasted that diamond-scored pattern that ensures the visual treat one can only enjoy from preying on intelligent sea creatures. Soft Tofu, Hard Tofu, and more Tofu are also found within, leaving you with a somewhat less-guilty feeling, though sidetracking our slightly superior standing in the Food Chain. You should note the hours here were recently expanded and they now open from 9:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. every day except Sunday, when they close at 6:00 p.m. read more

I love this place. They have all my hotpot needs.. they sell the little sheep brand hotpot soup base and other brands and also the thin meat slices for hot pot. They also have furikaki which is hard to find here in Madison. Their homemade kimchi is one of the best I've had, it's so good if you like kimchi. The owner is so nice and easy to talk to about the products they have and what they will be bringing in. This is definitely going to be my go to Asian store. read more

Reasonable price. Lots of Japanese snacks and groceries here. This is one of my favorite store in Huntsville. read more

In preparation for the Chinese New Years celebration this wknd thought I'd finally check this place out. Turns out they have a nice selection of sauces also including Filipino items throughout, but not a wide variety of sizes for some such as the Pâté. The staff is super friendly here and can speak english ;) when I inquired about Sio Pao and Longanisa - all in stock(!). It's not as big inside as I thought but then again we are in a somewhat small town compared to Orange County. I will definitely return as it is close to home than one of their competitors on the other side of Madison. read more

I was very disappointed the way the sakes staff treated. No smile. Made me feel like it was a mistake to go there. Vegetables were old . Some things were stored better with water underneath. I don't believe it will survive at the rate they are treated customers. I feel bad giving this review but I had to the way I got treated. Please be friendly. read more

This is my favorite Asian market. It is always well stocked, clean and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Every time I go, they have what I need in stock. Love the snack/candy isle. It's fun to try out a new snack when I get my other items. They have a nice selection of kitchen items in addition to the food. read more

My favorite Asian market in the Huntsville area. Fairly small, but has everything you'll need. Owner is very friendly and welcoming and happy to serve you. Very good prices and selection, and conveniently located on route 72 between Huntsville and Madison. I found items here that I haven't seen in any other Asian market in the area. I'm a fan and will be a weekly regular. Highly recommend. read more

I'm guessing this is a second of the store on south Memorial Parkway which has the same name. But I'm glad they opened one on the west side of town, it makes it convenient not to have to drive to south parkway or Jordan lane for this type of product. I've found products in here I would only buy when I'm in the big city. read more

We get a lot of our fresh produce here on a weekly basis - and you can try a lot of Asian fruits and vegetables too. Prices are great - a week's worth of meals bought here rarely goes over $30 for my husband and myself. Very good selection at wonderful prices (1lb firm tofu is $1, a dozen eggs $2 and all the noodles you can dream of all for $3 or less) and make sure to check out the fridge section as there will be fresh kimchi and other homemade dishes that are already to heat and eat. The staff is friendly and don't be afraid to ask questions about what a product is made of or how to prepare it - they will gladly tell you! read more

They had everything I needed! The store is kind of small but had everything I needed. I had thought I would go to this one and then go to the other 3 that are close and hope I wouldn't need to order rare items from online, but they had everything! Even items I haven't seen in the states for years. The only thing that could have made it better was if they had fresh Capelin eggs. But I have only seen that at one store in the states. read more

The selection is a bit overwhelming, but everyone working there was eager to help me find what I needed. They had everything I needed to make Pad Thai, chicken chow mein and egg rolls at great prices (half what I usually pay at Walmart) and I look forward to going back again to find more goodies I've never heard of. Both the employees stocking the shelves and checking us out were delightful with my daughter and managed to get us hooked on "Fancy Creams". I seriously can't wait to go again. read more

Great market to find ingredients you need! I love that I can find tropical fruits like mangosteen!!
