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!

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.

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.

My wife and I were in St. Louis visiting friends, and we had some time while waiting for a…read morenight-time baseball game, to they took us to an Asian grocery store that they frequent. It's marketed as International Food, but found most of the product was Far East/South East Asia based. I did my typical thing of wandering the aisles, taking pictures for a review, when I was stopped by a severe looking woman/employee who had been following me, demanding 'What are you doing?'....'Taking pictures?'...'We don't allow that here'....'I didn't know'...'You do now'. I didn't see any signs prohibiting it though, but of course I stopped. Definitely nipped in the bud my enthusiasm for this place. My wife did end up buying supplies to make shanghai-style lumpia (spring roll wrappers and various sauces) along with ube jam to make cookies. So a worthwhile trip overall.

It's on the smaller end but he has made great use of the space. Great selection of ramen, fresh veggies/herbs ( bok choy, bean sprouts, Thai basil, etc) some frozen goods and a great selection of sauces/oils/condiments. I grabbed a bag or ramen, sesame oil, bokchoy and a container of kimchi. I was on foot so I was limited in what I could carry. I will be back and will try some of their sushi!

Biser is a little Bosnian grocery store in a strip mall across from Mehlville South High School. I wish I got a photo of the place, but I forgot. It's on the west side of the street, and it's actually titled Euro Market and Grill with Biser underneath that. When I was leaving, I could have sworn that there is a second store with the same title down the street...but the one I went to is the one closest to the high school. They have a small kitchen inside the grocery store where they prepare several East European staples including doner ($6.50) and cevapi ($7.00). I couldn't decide what to get, so I asked them what they recommended. The woman said the doner, so that's what I went with. It was amazing. Instead of regular pita, they use the Bosnian lepinja, and it is soft, chewy, and oh-so-very-fresh. The tzatziki sauce was slathered on the lepinja just right, and there was a perfect balance of meat with the usual toppings of lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. And it was huge. It took up most of the styrofoam container both in diameter and in height! It actually kind of reminded me of Mayor McCheese from the old McDonald's characters...without the cheese. The best part was that I could eat it with a knife and fork without anything falling out...it was quite a feat. They have the usual Eastern European staples in the store along with a bakery selling some desserts and bread. There's four tables of four chairs so you can eat there if you choose. It really is a hidden gem! It's one of the best doner kebabs I've had in St. Louis!

I used to eat here often and if you called ahead they might have to grab someone who spoke English…read moreto help but no big deal. It has been a couple years since I ate here so I looked them up on Facebook and apparently there had been some type of drama involving hate. Due to the fact it is very small inside and can easily sell out of Doner bread; I decided to call ahead before the 15 minute drive. A lady answered in English and I said I would like to make a carry out order. She simply replied sternly " NO ". I asked if they no longer took phone orders and again "NO". I asked if they had Doner's for sale if I came in and she answered yes as if I were very much not welcome. Maybe a bad run in with some other Customer. I get the impression that if you're not Bosnian then you're not welcome. Very Racist and Sad if true. I certainly would not feel welcome if I walked in the door here and we used to buy candy for our daughter there. Very sad if you hate Americans so much why come here?

Come by, select a few, and make them part of your kitchen. This place has a few aisles with the basics you need, including two refrigerated cases with dairy products and one or two with veggies. I recently moved here from a very Latinx neighborhood in California, and well, the prices reflect there isn't as much demand in STL *yet* for these products compared to where I am coming from. I've honestly found groceries in general higher in MO than CA, but nothing was unreasonable. The employees were friendly in my brief interactions with them. I will be back when I need more items like Salsa Lizuno, crema, and frijoles rojas!
