This is the second time I have been here. I love to cook, and I cook a lot of Asian dishes. I have been able to find everything I need at Kings, and will be here fairly often. I was wanting ingredients to make some real Hot & Sour soup... so got woods ear fungus, and lily flowers. Have everything else I needed at home. Also got some walnut cookies, as I love them. Great flavor and not overly sweet. The store has almost anything you would need for a variety of cuisines... so have fun shopping! read more

King's Asian Market - Walnut cookies - International Grocery Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

I had been going to the Asian market across from MOC and decided to try somewhere closer to me. I was impressed at how clean it smelled, the organization of products and clear pricing in the store. I was able to find everything I needed plus the delicious almond cookies that I hadn't had in years! The employees were very patient and helpful helping me since it was the first time I was in their store. read more

My go to market for some Portland goods!!! They carry fresh fried tofu from Bui's tofu in Portland. Fresh Japanese style milk bread from An Xuyen bakery in Portland. My kids have enjoyed their selection of Asian candies and treats. I recently saw on our foodie page that they also have the infamous Dubai Chocolate bars. Parking is very easy and you get VIP parking. Right in front of the store. Love that they reuse small boxes so you can easily take your groceries to the car. The staff are always friendly and helpful. read more

This place is the place you want to go if you're looking for Asian ingredients or goodies. Customer service is excellent too be prepared cuz there's a lot of stuff in there read more

Very friendly staff, good selection of products and food, very nice inside. Good items for cooking too.

Coming from the SF Bay Area, I wanted to checkout the Asian grocery scene in Eugene for my future visits. This is definitely a small mom and pop shop that offers a variety of Asian products. Similar to shops in San Francisco, the aisles here are narrow too. The shelves packed with Asian goods--Thai, Chinese, Japanese Filipino products. They also carry a good selection of dried noodles as well as fresh produce. I was able to buy fresh jackfruit (which I love eating) and price was comparable to SF. This is not jackfruit season, but was curious enough to buy. I was surprised to see that they sold traditional Chinese paper offerings, ancestor hell money and joss sticks honoring the dead. I immediately recognized the dialect they were speaking and I immediately felt comfortable conversing with the woman behind the counter. Overall, it's a decent place to shop for Asian products...if you are in the area. Note that it is old and a little run down. read more

Absolutely love this store and the people who work there. They are very friendly and helpful and the prices are good as well.

Awesome store to get all of your Asian staples! Staff is friendly and very helpful. This is the only Asian market I've been to in Eugene, I found everything I needed here. read more

Love this little market, I will always drive across town to get what I need. They always have my favorite snacks and especially popping boba. I wish they had more boba options, but I love the couple they have. Definitely stop in, you'll find yourself wanting to try things you've never heard of, you might even find a new favorite. read more

A large variety of items and helpful employees. Our family's "go to" for Asian food items in Eugene

I really like this store. Good selection of items, much cheaper veg than supermarket. The best thing is how nice the owners are, very helpful, with a great attitude and sense of humor. I highly recommend Kings. read more

Excellent, friendly service if you are patient. I asked for soy sauce and the female owner pointed to the aisle. After reading the other reviews, I was worried she might be unpleasant, but a few minutes later, after handling the other customers checking out, she asked what I was looking for. She was a bit nervous, but once I showed her a picture of the soy sauce I had been using for years, she remarked that it was Japanese and expensive, then said what she would get: this is what I want to hear. She pointed me to a low sodium sauce a in bottle with a green label that is amazing. I said, "low sodium." She said" Yes! I'm old, I can't do too much salt." I said, "Less salt, more flavor!" and she agreed. I've been back to buy several bottles to give away and thanked her profusely every time, so we are quite friendly now. She has great taste and will immediately give advice on what to buy, commenting if I pick a sauce or fruit that she likes. I've seen her answer questions and give advice every time I've been in; no attitude. The fruit in the back is great. I bought two types of pears and she was careful to let me know they cost different amounts before checking out. I have her on the lookout for some specialty tropical fruit, but she refuses to order any that isn't top quality so she is waiting for later in the season. When looking at the other reviews, I try to remember that working in food service was difficult, but after talking to people in grocery, I realized that it is often even more difficult and frustrating. Please support them if you can. read more

I read some other reviews, comparing markets here in Eugene to Fubon in Portland. I like Fubon, and I like King's. I came prepared to find the ingredients for making hot and sour soup, having watched YouTube vids and also downloaded a glossary of terms. At the end of my searching, I was unable to find one ingredient -- and the woman behind the counter was helpful, despite being quite busy. I talked with her as I checked out, and she was friendly -- I will definitely be back, as I expand my skills with Asian cooking. If the soup turns out well, I may bring her some! read more

First off, anyone that's left a review based on the smell or "rude" customer service has never been to an authentic Asian market. I think that it's common for individuals to believe that a customer service experience is negative when there's a language barrier and there's no effort to communicate kindly involved. Food for thought: if you try hard enough to hold a decent conversation with the staff here, you might have a better experience. I'm from San Diego, CA and I was ecstatic to find an Asian market that reminded me of home. King's is a mom and pop shop ran by such a kind owner. I swung by after a long day just because I was in the area and was able to grab kitchen staples such as Pho broth, your regular shmegular snacks such as Hello Panda and Yan Yan biscuits, and even bok choy at a reasonable price. I'm glad that I won't have to ask my friends and family to express ship items from home. I will be coming regularly while I'm at UO. read more

they always have my dogs chinese meds at a great price. I LOVE THEM. they also have a gazillion other bitchin things.

I only go to King's if Sunrise is closed. The differences between the two stores are service and freshness. At Sunrise, I get friendly service and their produce is more fresh, especially their herbs. When I can't find something, they walk with me to show where it is. The store is clean and organized. The older male store owner is friendly and helpful. The gentleman of Hispanic decent with the moustache who usually is stocking the shelves smiles everytime he helps me locate stuff. I love that guy! The cashiers are friendly too! King's is the opposite. The service is rude and abrupt, especially from the female owner. When I asked for help llto find an item, the usual aggressive response is "over there!" The same area where I just came from and couldn't find what I was looking for. Today, when she rang me up at the cash register, I asked her if I could slide my card instead of her doing it. I wanted to reduce the risk of COVID-19. She seemed upset having to move the credit card machine about 6 inches. I was about to slide my card and she angrily shouts, "Insert chip NOT slide." She then touches my credit card after I inserted it. The wilting herbs often have decomposing parts. The store is unsanitary with dirty storage racks and containers laying in various corners. Go to Sunrise and get friendly service. read more

I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't review this place while they were still open. I love shopping here. Last year I decided to teach myself how to cook a few Japanese dishes and this is the market I visited often to get the ingredients. I loved shopping here. I just wanted to try all of the different flavors and foods that were unique to me. I sometimes would splurge on a bunch of different snack foods and then have a tasting party with my friends. I loved getting my miso, kombu, and bonito flakes here to make miso soup at home. All these ingredients are way over priced in regular grocery stores so it just adds an additional ping to the heart that they are not currently open. I really hope they return after the COVID closures subsides. I really miss them. read more

I love coming to this store. It has everything I'm looking for at a good price. The vegetables are fresh and I always enjoy bantering with "aunty" King. read more

I love this asian market in Eugene, currently out of the 3 asian shops this is the 2nd best, the selection is good and the staff are sometimes friendly, very nice place overall read more

I had a great experience there. The woman at the front was very helpful. I was looking for Perella leaves. I showed her a package and asked if it was Perella. She said a name I couldn't understand so she wrote out sour leaf. read more

New owners! Yay! Much more friendly and helpful! We will definitely start shopping here again. Previous owner had a good selection of Taiwan-made products, so I hope they continue this. read more

It is the best place ever has a lot of varietie oh of Asian food very nice staff and is very clean

I don't know if this place is in business still or not but my daughter and I went there a month ago because she just had to try these new dishes she saw on Tik Tok. Me thinking we have nothing else to do I was all for it. We walked in and the place was very dark and looked outdated. I was actually scared to purchase anything. I let my daughter get what she wanted and I grabbed a Boba drink from their fridge. The lady working there wasn't to friendly and she wasn't helpful when we were searching for a certain type of candy. Needless to say the drink I bought made me sick and my daughter didn't even eat a third of anything she just had to have. read more

This market is closer to me than the other ones in town. I go here once in a blue moon when I want to make lumpia's. Most grocery stores do not carry the skin unless I want them to turn out like egg rolls. I wish they carried sambal badjak, instead of the plain pepper sambal. I have to either order that online, go across town, or out of town to find it. I like using the sambal badjak when making Indonesian food, or Chinese. read more

Why is the older Chinese woman always in such a pissed off mood? The place is also a sanitary mess. Talk about health code violations! It is too bad the health department for this county is lane even if we complain to them, they're not going to do anything about it. Again, what the hell is wrong with that pissed off woman? She's the owner from understanding so you would think that being nice and professional to her customers would yield a greater return for her than to be unhelpful and rude. I just don't know how this store manages to survive this long other than the fact that they're one of two Asian markets in Eugene and that their prices are slightly better than Sunrise. Why don't someone else open up a decent Asian market to compete with these two so we don't have to deal with the woman with a stick up her a_____? read more

Honestly it's kind of confusing there is hella random stuff everywhere but it has a large selection of sauces and they do have pork blood. It was also kinda dirty but definitely an experience. read more

Owner couldn't be more rude. I'm not sure why anyone would shop here. I've always thought they were rude but gave them a pass and shopped at the little mom and pop store because they have things I can't get a regular grocery store and I like to support the local small businesses. I recently purchased rice noodles. When I got home to cook them, they had mold on them. Since, I don't live close to the store, I assumed I could return them next time I was in the area. Mean lady said "absolutely not! I should've brought them back immediately" I told her that I'm not that desperate for free noodles that I would want to scam them out if a pack of $3.00 noodles and that it was inconvenient to drive so far for a pack of noodles. She really wouldn't take them back and treated me like I wasn't telling the truth about the moldy noodles. My advice: DON'T SHOP HERE EVEN IF THEY'RE THE LAST STORE IN TOWN..... God forbid read more

WHOA. Hello, Eugene. I did not expect to find such a well-stocked Taiwanese/Chinese/Cantonese market in the area. And my connoisseur parents will vouch for this fact with their very elusive nod of approval. Though King's does not have enough space to stock three varieties of everything, it's well-rounded enough to supply you with everything you need to cook your authentic favorites. Some of King's impressive offerings include: Balut. Dou hua (prepared.) Dou hua (powdered mix, in almond, coffee and regular flavors.) Thousand year old eggs. Fresh quail eggs. Pork belly. Lamb. Tripe. Tendon. Fish (in all forms.) Frozen dim sum. Dumplings. Green onion pancakes. Chive and vermicelli pockets. Chinese sausage. Korean, Japanese & Chinese ramen. Szechuan fish stew packets. Mapo tofu packets. Soup bases. Pho spice pouches. Sweet potato noodles. Rice noodles (fresh and dried.) Beancurd. Egg-tofu paste. Every variety of rice, spice, sauce, seasoning and paste that exists on the planet. Matcha. Mirin. Japanese mayo. Taro. Baby bok choy. Fresh ginger. Gai lan. Daikon. Chinese chives. Mung beans. Basil. Mooncakes. Mochi. Snacks upon snacks (All the childhood favorites. Of my parents.) Though Sunrise Asian Market may be cleaner and bigger, it caters more toward the Korean/Japanese palate. King's Asian feels like home, and if you need any help decoding ingredients, ask the uncle- he'll answer all your shopping and cooking questions with a smile. And you don't even have to be Asian...! Bottom Line: Big enough to find what you need, small enough to leave without a headache. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! Go to sunrise market instead, the lady is the absolute most rude person working in costumer service I've ever met, she has absolutely no manners and god forbid you have to return something! They do not care about costumers they just want your money. Extremely disappointed. Horrible service. She was throwing everything. read more

I like shopping at this place, the owners are very nice. I can find most of the Chinese/Asian food and sauces I like at Kings. It's a must-to-visit place for shopping Chinese/Asian food and stuff in the Eugene/Springfield area. They offer delivery service too if you don't wanna go out to face the crowds. read more

A great Asian market with a lot of variety. They have a generous dry goods selection as well as excellent quality produce. Tons of sauces and canned goods as well. Their frozen section has everything from the common Bao to the rarer seafood finds. Check 'em out! read more

Can we just talk about the elephant in the room here? It smells so unbearably horrible in this store. I can barely make it a few steps in. And it is filthy. There is piles of dirt in every corner and like old used rags laying around. I understand Asian food smells different but this is beyond anything I've ever experienced. I wouldn't trust eating anything from this place because if they are openly this dirty in the front of the store, imagine what goes on in the back. read more

I find most "Asian markets" to be similar. They have a great deal of products but no one goes into Japanese products. King's has a ton of choices of all kinds of canned goods, teas, soy sauces, noodles, Rice's etc. So if that's what you need this is a good spot to go to! They also have a small grocery refrigerated type area that was not very well stocked..maybe I hit it on an off day.... but they had some nice green veggies and Japanese eggplant. Kings also has some frozen items but this is not. A huge store so take that into consideration. But you can find some nice sushi rice, good pickled ginger, soy sauce and some yummy garlic sauces. It's worth a quick stop. Not a lot of sales staff so don't rely on their help except when your ready to pay. read more

I was able to find everything I needed without getting the stink-eye! The prices, in my opinion, were pretty good (better than what I paid in Reno)! Their produce was amazing, too! Good quality, and properly stored. Tons of seafood choices, as well. Now, I know that Asian Markets can be a bit intimidating (more stuff crammed together in a tiny space, dirtier than what we're used to) when you're not used to that type of thing, but after shopping regularly with my "from-China-Chinese-Mother-In-Law", I've learned what one should look for in an Asian Market. The big thing is items being marked with actual prices. I hate to say it, but Asian Markets will often try and cheat "white" clientele, but when the prices are marked on the item you're purchasing there's no way to do that. I haven't been to any of the other markets in town, and I will go to them, but so far I'm totally ok with this place! The whole shrimp I got here have been fantastic so far, and the produce has lasted over a week (I purchased several types of Chinese greens) wich bodes well for the freshness of their goods. read more

We went here to see what they had to offer. Their vegetable section was not fresh and when at register the lady at the counter was not friendly at all. Doesn't say hello or even thank you or a goodbye. Need to take her to the ER quick and remove that stick. Won't be going back! Go to sunrise Asian market instead. Much friendlier and better product. read more

Just down the street from the other Asian market, Yi Shen (http://www.yelp.com/biz/yi-shen-eugene#hrid:akuOGm-a7lrfVxtl4bbpjA/src:self) Some of the same stuff, some different. They have quite a few frozen items - noticed "halo-halu popsicles." There's an aisle of bowls and other ceramic and plastic items. Lots of Vietnamese and Chinese foods, plus a scattering of items from Korea, Japan, etc.... They have balut, salted eggs, 1000-yr. old eggs. Lots of pasta - rice noodles, sweet potato noodles, etc... And rice of course. Their business card also mentions C & H Imports and Exports, LLC, at the same address read more

We love this store. The owners are very helpful and friendly. Prices are reasonable and selection is great. There is an entire section in the back full of frozen meat, mochi ice cream, steam buns, takoyaki, squid, fish, and other things. We usually spend about fifty every time we go. And we think it's worth the price. They have ramen, yakisoba, udon, rice, and Asian spaghetti noodles. Twelve flavors of ramune, and other drinks. Wide selection of candy and snacks. We plan a visit once a month and will continue to visit. read more

The lady is so extremely rude. We were planning a trip to the area and so I called ahead to see if the item I wanted was in stock. The lady's response was come look for yourself and hung up. Even if they have it I don't want to patronize their business. Alley pup and I found a new sake we like just fine in another market. read more

They had a great selection, especially with their rice. My favorite food is the imported candy though, the vanilla and green tea filled bears are my favorite. The guy behind the counter was very friendly. I'm not sure where the review comments about them being rude or the place smelling bad because it has food from other cultures come from, but unfortunately it sounds like there are still a lot of racist people out there. read more

I stop by here every time Im in Eugene. They have great selection, and there is often something new each time I visit.
