The prices are better than other Asian markets in the area and the products are always fresh. Lots of different product choices for a small independent store. And the shelves are always stocked. I enjoy shopping here regularly. Closed Sundays.

Nice selection, but prefer their competitor on Martin Way. This place is just a bit messy, but…read moretends to be the norm I've found for these specialty stores. I love all things Korean food, and they have all the staples I'd hope for. Heavy road traffic in front of this business, so be careful pulling in and out of the parking lot. Service was nothing special. Just kind of average in many aspects of measurement. Would shop here in a pinch!

Stopped by this small oriental market recently and had a pretty good experience overall. Parking…read morewas easy to find since the store is located near a few other businesses, so that was already a plus before even stepping inside. I came here to Ben Thanh with a specific mission: finding shrimp paste that I couldn't track down at another oriental market down the street. Thankfully, they had exactly what I was looking for, which immediately earned them some points in my book. It's always a relief when a place carries those harder-to-find items. While browsing the aisles, I was pleasantly surprised to spot a few other things I'd like to come back for in the future, like different varieties of rice and Chinese sausages. One thing that really caught me off guard was that they sold baklava here! I decided to give it a try and, honestly, it tasted pretty good. I didn't do a full grocery haul this time, so I can't really comment on how their prices compare, but for convenience alone it's a great little shop to have nearby. Since I live fairly close in Lacey, I can definitely see myself stopping by again to check out more of their selection. There wasn't really a line; the cashier spoke both English and Vietnamese, was polite, welcoming enough, and quick to ring me up. Overall, a nice little market that came through when I needed it.

What a great selection and excellent pricing packed into a modest sized store! It makes shopping…read moreeasy. Everything was cleanly shelved and the aisles made sense in terms of product layout. Caters very well to southeast Asian cuisines, notably Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai. I quickly grabbed a big jar of kimchi from the cooler, a bag of jasmine rice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, and of course dehydrated shitake mushrooms. This allows you to get started with a bare bones Asian meal of rice with sides. Anyway I was well pleased with the prices. I didn't have to sift through massive choice like at H Mart, and I could get shopping done quick!

I came here to grab something quick to eat as I had to fast for an appointment nearby. They had a…read moreclearance section right in front and I grabbed a few cup ramens cause I would have those for my lunches at work. The store is kinda organized but also not as much as H-mart. I was short on time so I was trying to find everything I needed and I learned that they have prepared foods in the top left corner of the store. They had japchae, gimbap, fish patties, and much more. I grabbed some frozen seafood soup and a drink. The store is brightly lit and clean for the most part. The service here is friendly and polite. It was cool that they had a drawstring bag as their bag. Although if you have weird shaped products then it isn't the most comfortable if you have to walk around with it. But a fantastic store with any needs for Korean or other Asian goodies at a good price!

I came here for one purpose- to find fresh rice noodles. Did I find it? Hell yes! Did they have…read moremore than one? Oh yes they did! I have been on the hunt for fresh rice noodles to make pad see ew at home and this store helped me complete that lil dream of mine. I can't wait not tell you how hard it was to find these things! Looked at HMart.... Nothing! Paldo- World.... Yea right?!?! So after doing some online research and almost giving up I found this place. And they had exactly what I needed for my recipe, a lot come in a pack so I ended up with a lot of left overs which worked out for my family.

Small family ran restaurant. Please remember when visiting this store, it is small and looks as…read morethough a new standup. The shelves are not full by far, the products are not a huge variety, and the products are not all high-end quality. They have a seafood deli (Kim Chee bar) and this is probably their most impressive section of their store. Everyone here is very nice, but again, new small store. I think with enough support, this place could be great. Provide input to the management for suggestions of products they should consider carrying. If you cannot find anything you want here, H-Mart and Paldo World in only five minutes up the street. Give these guys a shot and support our local community!

A first timer to this Korean Supermarket!! Found it online, on TikTok, of all places. Saw the…read moreadvertisement and reviews, so wanted to check it out. The store and parking lot are small. But inviting. Their specialties are the Korean Banchan (Sidedishes). All Homemade, with a variety of choices. Got there around 11:00 AM on Saturday, 5/03/25. There was nobody inside the store, so maneuvering the cart around the aisles was easy as well as browsing around. Definitely bought some Korean Kimbap, Sidedishes and Spicy Jerky. Prices were a bit on the higher side than other Asian grocery stores, though. The elderly couple who runs the store were very amicable and polite. We received excellent customer service. Talked to him a little bit in Korean as well.

So glad we have a Filipino store in town!

A small convenience store at the corner of 4th and Adams. I've never been sure whether the place…read moreis called "Adams Market" because it's at the intersection with Adams, is called "Adam's Market" after someone named Adam, or is called "Adam Market" as it's sometimes rendered in other online results. The great thing about this place is the owner, who is jolly and sarcastic and funny, although his wit does tend to run a little absurd and not a little dry. Almost as great, though, is the selection of Middle Eastern foods. It's a great place to stock up on boxes of mahmouls for cheap, or to get tins of stuffed grape leaves, which are a vastly better snack than the paltry selection of heavily-processed junk food. Fresh, but limited, but huge, baklavah. The real wonder, though, is a small row of sodas in the back. Not the fancy burdock-and-ass English stuff, but the selection of Lebanese fruit sodas by Kazouza, the best of which is the watermelon. None of them are HFCS-loaded crap, but the watermelon nonetheless captures the fanciful watermelon flavor of something like a Jolly Rancher without being too cloying (at least, for the first few bottles.) It's so wonderful. Like, it completely changed my view of carbonated beverages. It's also a reliable place to get ayran, which is good when the Kazouza gets too sickly-sweet. Also, the brand of ayran they stock is also very useful as a yogurt culture, and at least with the milk from my goats that I tried it with, it resulted in some absurdly-thick and wonderful stuff. Some of the staff other than the owner can be a bit grumpy or difficult, and some of them are quite sweet and outgoing. Still, it's hard to fault the gruff ones. It's the most centrally-located and only late-night convenience store in downtown Olympia. It's a great place to rub shoulders with people who are drunk at noon and people who are far gone in the middle of the night. It really functions as Olympia's only Middle Eastern market. International Spice and Halal used to carry much of the same stuff, and since it closed and its owner moved on to other things, this is the best place to go. And it does a good job of that, while also doing a good job of being a convenience store. A very cool place. Near and dear to my heart.

Hi I went shopping at India bizzar on 12-27-25 as I always did for 25 years whenever I'm in Tacoma…read more There was an older gentleman who was always there he was always very helpful and respectful. The last 2 times that I shopped there some young men have been working there have been doing some very unlawful things, like changing the prices with a pen at checkout not giving an itemized receipt and you can't see what they are ringing up. So on 12-27-25 I stopped in to shop the young followed me trying to sell me things I didn't want so I ended up just getting 2 items that should have totaled $14 I asked for my receipt the total was $28 what he did was rang up some conditioner that I looked at but didn't plan to purchase and placed it in my bag. When I asked about it he knew he was caught so he went in the register and gave me $9 and some change and asked me was I happy with that I told him no give me back what you charged me and give me back my receipt, he refused to give me the receipt and threw it under some papers that were sitting by the register I got very upset and walked out I will never shop there again and encourage anyone who does to watch carefully.
