Such a charming little store! Stringtown Grocery is a wonderful hidden gem in Kalona.

The store is clean, organized, and has a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the prices are very reasonable.

OMG! This has got to be the best find as of yet! If you need any type of Asian grocery item,…read moreespecially if it's Korean! You must check out Chong's Supermarket! I came all the way from Central City because I was craving Korean Mundo and Korean Rice Cake and I had so many to choose from! We drove past this place several times because it is sort of hidden. There are no windows in the back and that is the side facing the street, the backside. You must go around the building to get into the front doorway entrance. And don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask the little Korean man behind the counter to explain or show you what or where anything can be located. He's really very nice and can give you some great ideas! I spent over $200 shopping at this grocery store! And that was a bargain! I will be back soon!

This store is very open, with a lot of room for each aisle and so being physically distant from other people is very easy, and I have never been in the store when there are more than 4 people, including the cashier.

My spouse picked up the food and we ordered extra for leftovers. The Chicharrones are tasty with the skin extra extra crispy and the meat chunks were tasty with some smaller chunks drier but overall would order them again. The guacamole super good in general and goes well with the chicharrones. We ordered tamales which we are saving for tomorrow. The choripollo and chile relleno were good. Lots of other items to try that look delish.

It used to be a full service restaurant but they recently changed it to a self-serve Hy-Vee Market Grille/Cafe Express, which is just as good. I will definitely be back! :)
