FoodPak Express is THE place to load up on all your asian cuisine and cooking essentials. This store is massive - warehouse massive!
They've got every conceivable asian food item needed to create an entire restaurant menu - which makes sense, as I believe this store was originally intended and serviced restaurant owners only.
You are able to become a member - don't ask me how, I'm just a chun dy paw who shops here. You receive slight discounts on everything. You'll notice on the price tags the "member" price and the normal price. It's seriously like 10¢ less for members - so unless the membership is free (don't hold your breath!), I don't see myself jumping on that too soon.
They've got dried goods, canned goods, frozen sections, fresh vegetable and meat sections, juice and soda sections, snack sections, condiment sections, noodle and rice sections, cookware sections (utensils, dishes, rice cookers, deep friers, etc.), cleaning ware sections, paper goods section (think wholesale sized boxes of napkins, toilet tissue and paper towels) and just about everything in between.
The price is right as well. I go here to stock up on $1 bags of frozen edamame, gyoza and bags of noodles and condiments as well.
The workers are all just buzzing around you on forklifts, moving inventory and stocking shelves. They leave you alone and don't bother you until you're ready to check out.
Chances are, an older asian lady will ring your stuff out. A younger asian guy will pack your items into boxes and an older asian guy will drop it down the loading dock, wheel it to your car and pack it into your trunk for you. Talk about service! It's just how they operate.
No bells and whistles. Just good old fashioned straight up wholesale asian food products. read more
