    Dried mushrooms and seaweed
    Monica E.

    If I cannot get up to Lee Lee's, Grantstone (or is it Grant Stone?) it is. This supermarket, which specializes in Asian fare and cookware, is right at the intersection of Grant and Stone -- hence its name. And it has been in business, I hear, since the late 1980s. In the fashion of the 1980s, Grantstone is an overabundant, mismatched market with indulgences stocked aisle by aisle. It is, quite honestly, the modern day version of that 80s fashionista who wore chunky jewelry, too much makeup and bright clothing...with a blazer and a mullet. I hear that, during the fall, the retro sign that was once out front and along the street had to be removed because it had greatly deteriorated. That's too bad. I remember that sign with fondness. Anyway, I can affirm what others have mentioned -- there is a strange, dense smell in the air that is not at all appeasing. Also, the market can feel a bit scattered at times, but I find that the staff is generally helpful when you get tired of racing through the aisle for something that seems like it would be stocked with sauces, but is actually stocked with the spices. Here, you will find just about everything you need to prepare dishes from China, Japan, India, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and elsewhere in Asia. Often, items are in the languages of their home countries. The market also sells steam baskets, woks, bowls, spoons, chopsticks, sushi mats and a whole range of other dishes and utensils. You can even find Asian beers, sake, toys and also bamboo, Asian candies and Chinese medicine and herbal supplements here. I have and continued to shop at Grantstone for the range: taro root, eggplant, these delicious shrimp-flavored chips, fresh ginger, mushrooms (dried and fresh), avocado, lime, nice sized-bunches of cilantro, noodles, soy sauce and fish sauce (they keep quite the collection), chilies and spicy sauces, coconut milk, Indian spices (especially turmeric, coriander, cardamom and garam masala), all sorts of rices (!!!), Chinese sausage, century eggs, etc. etc.

    Someone mentioned the smell of this store, However, ​I didn't notice at all nor it did not bother me. They are also very friendly and helpful. This store looks old from the outside but very clean, well organized in most of the area, a big grocery store that carries a lot of products. Vegetables are fresh and prices are very fair! If you are looking for Japanese - 納豆、味噌、たれ各種、お米、玄米、山芋、根菜、きのこ類、その他野菜、麺、梅干し、日本のキムチ、お豆腐とかこんにゃくとか色々ありましたよ。(Not sure if Japanese character would appear correctly..) Overall this store is more than enough to needs of Japanese products.

    I'm upset right now because this afternoon I went to the store on my first time, I bought some snacks and instant noodles. Just now I boiled one bag and it smells really bad, so I checked the product date and found it already expired!... the fruit and vegetables there didn't look fresh either, I will call them tmr and see what they say

There are customers line up at the self check-out, yet not a normal check out open. I ask a worker who is chatting with another worker if they are going to open a check-out, she looks at me as if I'm bothering her and says nope then goes back to chatting. Again, WTF? I've got a cart full and already put in my 8 hours for the day. Now they want me to do their job as well. Self checkouts weren't made for that. Originally they were made for the guy who has 2 items and didn't want to wait in the normal checkout. He could get out quickly. Now after 7 they want everyone to use them. Maybe if I got a discount, I would be more willing to self checkout but I'm paying full price. Like I said, I already put in 8 hours at my job, my job is hard physical work. I don't feel like doing their job too. What do you think? Are you ok working for Fry's for free after you worked all day? No other place makes you work when you go there, no restaurant makes you cook your own food, no doctors office make you do your own physical, no bar makes you pour your own beer or make your own drink. What does Fry's think they can make you work for free. I hope someone from corporate reads this and does what's right go back to the way they did it for years and years. Or I'll be driving a little farther to get the customer service that Fry's lacks. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Albertsons corporate offices clearly have not spent much time in the stores judging by the decisions they make. For example. Today I did some light shopping but big enough to need a cart. When I go to check out there is only one cashier lane open (as usual, even though they need more) and the line was full of several people with large quantities in their cart. So I go to the self check even though it pains me knowing self check just means one more person without employment. Anyway they now have these massive bins holding sale items smack in the middle of the tiny self check square. Total nightmare! If you have a cart you are unable to pass to exit since other people are at a kiosk checking out and there's zero room between them and the sale bins. It is one big traffic jam and the poor employees are forced to move people around while they're trying to check out just to keep the line moving. There was so little space that I am fairly confident this is not ADA compliant. I truly think Albertsons corporate believes that only people with small items and no cart go to self check. If you only employ one cashier however, this is not the case. Especially on a busy weekend. I will never understand forcing your customers to be employees and not paying or even trusting them but that's a whole other topic. Every customer and every employee was frustrated and complaining about these stupid sale bins. It does not take a genius to know this was a bad idea. Remove the bins!

The spring rolls I got were okay but the dipping sauce is not what I expected which was a tangy sauce. Usually for spring rolls it's a peanut sauce. For sushi they have low sodium soy sauce available which is a plus. There is very limited seating at the store to sit down and eat so most likely you'll have to bring your food home. All in all, it's not bad. Fairly cheap, and a decent selection!
