I had a Sushi before I shopped. It was OK. The store is huge. No Ground Meat at 2nd store I…read morevisited..service was good at Sushi Restaurant, but Sushi wasn't the best. It is a huge supermarket and the Christian music was a welcome touch. . I will be back.

I visited the Viet Hoa market last weekend and went to the fish stall. Since I had come from far…read moreaway and couldn't clearly see the prices, I asked a man in a black shirt--who looked to be about 50 and worked at the stall. With a very unpleasant look on his face, he snapped, "Are you blind? Can't you see the price written down there?" I picked out a fish and asked him to prepare it; still looking annoyed, he barked angrily, "How do you want it done?" After cleaning the fish, he scowled, slammed it onto the counter with a loud thud, and turned his back on me. I was truly shocked and terrified that day--the experience has haunted me ever since. I was a customer, yet he treated me worse than a dog begging for a bone. His attitude was insolent, surly, rude, and uncultured. (There was another woman working at the fish stall nearby who was much nicer.) I really hope the owner retrains people like that, because it has been over a week, and both my daughter and I are still haunted and terrified by the incident.Hôm bữa cuối Tuần mình có ghé chợ Việt Hoa. rồi tới hàng cá, Vì ở xa tới nên chưa Nhìn rõ giá nên mình hỏi 1 chú mặc áo đen Khoảng 50 tuổi làm hàng cá, chú đó với khuôn mặt rất khó chịu nói " bộ đui sao không thấy giá ghi ở dưới " mình lấy 1 con cá và nói chú đó làm, vẫn với khuôn mặt khó chịu hơn chú đó gằn giọng tức giận hỏi " muốn làm như thế nào " lúc làm cá xong chú đó cau có tức giận vất cái bụp lên mặt quầy và quay mặt vào trong... Thực sự hôm đó mình rất bàng hoàng khiếp sợ ám ảnh cho tới bây giờ, mình là khách hàng Mà chú đó coi mình như con chó đi chực chờ xương không bằng. chú đó với thái độ rất mất dậy,cộc càn, thô lỗ và thất học, còn gần đó có 1 chị cũng làm hàng cá nhưng dễ thương hơn. Mình mong người chủ cần huấn luyện lại cho những loại người như vậy, vì thực sự đã hơn 1 tuần rồi mình và con gái mình vẫn còn ám ảnh khiếp sợ

Nippon Daido is a small Japanese grocery store located in Westheimer and Wilcrest. I would come to…read morethis grocery store all the time when I was a teenager. When I started my associates degree I would come here too since Houston Community College is right across the street from it. I am happy to see that this small grocery store is still standing. Although this grocery store is small, it carries a variety of products. It has poke bowls, rice bowls, sushi, and bento boxes for you in case you do not have time to prepare a meal. Nippon Daido also carries a large variety of beverages that are very known in Japan. They also carry different kinds of beer from Japan and sake as well. Everyone is obsessed with matcha right now and I saw they had a different variety of matcha. I myself am a fan of tea. Theu even have different kinds of tea that I hope to try all of them one day. If you are not a fan of tea, I also noticed they had different kinds of coffee. This grocery store also carries a good variety of Japanese candy. We have all seen and heard about the different kinds of KitKat, well, this place carries them. I ended up buying the milk tea KitKat and it a nice delight of a flavor. I noticed that this place carries stuff to do hot pot and barbeque items in the frozen section. Japanese ice cream is carried too like taiyaki vanilla ice cream and red bean ice cream. I myself am a big fan of Kirby and noticed they had a Kirby cup. As much as I wanted to buy it, I had to pass up on it today since I own too many Kirby items. They also carried some Sanrio items but a lot of kitchenware without any design. What I like about this grocery store is the fact they had origami paper and Japanese notebook if you wanted to practice writing in hiragana or katakana. I used to buy those notebooks when I was practicing learning how to write and understand Japanese. In the same section they had very adorable toothpicks to make your own bento box. Something new I saw was that this grocery store has its own little sweet shop called Sweets Oyatsu. I tried the strawberry matcha latte and from I am seeing their famously own strawberry mochi. When I tell you the strawberry mochi is to die for! It has a very sweet flavor coming from the strawberry itself with a hint of sweet red bean. The chewiness of the mochi made the experience even better. The strawberry matcha latte was pretty good. You could really taste the sweetness of the strawberry and the slight bitterness of the matcha. I grew up in Alief my whole life. Nippon Daido is a hidden gem that Alief has in Houston. This small grocery store really brings the Japanese culture closer to home. I always like supporting small local businesses and as much as I do not visit this area anymore. It reminds me to continue to support small businesses. I will try to visit this grocery store more often.

Cute and quaint Japanese grocery store with other authentic imported goods from Japan! If you…read morebrought back snaps from your most recent trip from Japan and just ran out. This place might have you covered! I also love this place because it has the cafe pop up Sweets Oyatsuku! Make sure to check heir instagram for what days they are open! The matcha was incredibly rich, nutty and creamy - you could taste the quality but definitely nothing mind blowing. I LOVED the strawberry red bean mochi daifuku. I would again just to get more! The workers were so sweet and nice. Go support and give them a try!

Welcome Food Center is an Asian market on Bellaire Blvd next to Tan Tan…read more Welcome has become one of my favorite Asian markers in Chinatown. Everything is so well-organized and stocked adequately. They have a variety of goods from fresh produce to seafood to baked goods to household items to snacks. They focus more on Chinese specialty goods, but they have varieties of different cultural Asian goods, as well. If you want lamb or beef meat for hot pot, this is the best place to go. The lamb is so soft and not gamey, and it is also very reasonable priced for the amount you get. One whole box is quite dense and can last for multiple homemade hotpot/shabu sessions! I just really love how everything is so organized and clean. Their bakery also has some good stuff. My favorite is their bolo pork bun. The outside is sweet with a sweet custard crust top. It is essentially a pineapple bun filled with pork filling. I can literally eat five of them in a row. Last time we came, we cleared out all their pineapple pork buns! I also really like their produce. They have so many different produce, and it is fresh and reasonable priced. Their seafood area is also pretty well-kept and clean in a separate area. Welcome Food Center has become one of my go-to markets for hotpot meat, produce, and fresh seafood. They are very well-kept and have a lot of options!

Do you love to explore grocery stores? I do!…read more Was in the neighborhood to pick up a Nian Gao sticky brown sugar rice cake for my brother and sister-in-law and decided to check out the Welcome Food Center. So many options. Noddles. Buns. Fruits. Veggies. So many snacks. Check out the seafood selection. Love the pomelos. Wish I had my kids at home for the jackfruit. Jackfruit rice is their favorite. Lots of parking available during the week. Went two days later and still parking was available on the weekend. Happy Chinese New Year! I'll be back.

I can't believe I've never written a review for Seiwa! I've been here numerous times over the…read moreyears, before and after Covid. There's ready made meals, sushi, sashimi, sides, snacks, sweets and drinks. For the chefs out there, they have premium quality meats and seafood too! Pretty much anything you'll need to complete a dish. The produce section may not be big, but it's satisfactory. On some occasions they'll have weekend pop-ups with tastings. The employees are helpful, and the store itself is clean. Something to be aware of, the line to checkout can be very long and hectic. Especially on weekends and during peak hours. If you're looking for a delightful Japanese meal, snack, or quality ingredients to whip up something magical, this is your place!

I haven't been to Seiwa ever since I moved out of the neighborhood, but I was in the area recently…read moreand decided to stop by. It really hasn't changed much! They still have a great selection of seafood, and I was also impressed by the variety of Japanese snacks. Since it was a weekday, the store was pretty quiet. There were also several promotional items near the front, and I was able to pick up a few candies at a good price. With tariffs and rising prices these days, everything seems to be getting more expensive, so I was especially happy to find a couple of good deals. I'd definitely swing by again if I'm in the area.
