We have heard such good things about this international grocery store and had been planning to…read morevisit the store at Castleton. We were pleasantly surprised that there was a store much closer to us on the Southside. Of course we went inside to explore. They have so many international food but we were told this is the smallest store of there 3 locations. Parking was at a premium and as expected they had many shoppers on a weekday morning. The produce was beautiful and they had many varieties also. There is a fresh fish area and a meat area as well as a small restaurant in the back of the store. The employees were friendly and quite helpful in locating some items that we wanted. There is a large selection of fresh, frozen and canned items. You should check this place out if you are in the area.

I found a counter where they serve snacks and drinks, but did not look like it was open as I was there 30 minutes before store closing. But I would love to try something from there next time. I'm happy that I found this place. They have some non grocery items like Holy Quran, prayer rugs, keffiyehs, cookware and others. It's a place of discovery!

I tried the araisy (#15) drink here. They made it in front of me. Everything is fresh. They don't always use gloves though. I will be back to try the beef pastrami sandwich. They have tons of fresh meat for sale. Everything is halal as stated on the signage outside. They have beef bacon. In the heart of the international district on 38th st.

This Japanese grocery store sells amazing sushi and bento box style meals. I was glad to see great…read morereviews by my fellow Yelpers because I love Japanese food and the little grocery was not on my radar. The store is spotless and well organized. They sell just about everything imaginable for Japanese cooking, including sashimi grade fish. I also saw Japanese beers and liquors. Meals made to order start at 11:00 am. They make sushi, noodle and rice dishes. We picked up several bento style boxes to share. There are a number of cafe tables inside and outside to eat after you purchase your food. We ate inside. There is a convenient microwave to warm-up prepackaged cold foods. The gyoza were filled with pork and bits of cabbage. The gyoza disappeared quickly. Emi ten Tomagoto ji pre (shrimp tempura over rice) was our favorite dish. The rice was cooked with eggs and onion and just delicious. The shrimp were perfectly cooked. I would definitely order this again. The spicy bomb inari was filled with strips of meat and a spicy sauce. The only complain was that the wrapper was soggy from sitting in the deli case. I can't wait to back to try a udon bowl. The food is fresh and delicious. There is plenty of parking in their share lot.

I was really excited to visit this store again after being in the hospital for a while. I drove…read morethree hours last weekend (Saturday) just to come back and visit, so I was genuinely looking forward to it. It looks like some things have been moved around, and I found the Grab & Go section being located on the food court side a little unusual. It was also extremely cold at the food court which made the experience less comfortable. Unfortunately, everything was fine until I went to check out. The older woman working at the register, who appeared to be around 65-70 yrs old was extremely rude and unprofessional. The way I was treated made me feel like I shouldn't have even come to the store. After driving three hours to visit a place I really love, that was incredibly disappointing. I have always loved this store and was genuinely happy to be able to come back. However, after this experience, I don't feel comfortable returning if I have to be treated that way. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses the way customers are being treated. I would hate for one employee's behavior to ruin the experience of an otherwise great store.

This is a cool Asian grocery store with fresh produce, meat, snacks and other international items…read more I found two of my favorite snacks here (hello panda and rice cakes). There is a section towards the back of the store with cooked food such as pig ears, chicken feet and duck tongues. Items seemed a bit cheaper than at Saraga although not by much. The cashier line was short and the staff present were pleasant. It does have a funny smell but it is probably due to all the live animals.

Unfortunately, the main reason I'm disappointed now is the cashier--a man of Indian descent who wears glasses and is consistently rude and unprofessional. I've noticed from other reviews that I'm not the only one experiencing this. On top of that, they no longer accept Amex, which used to be convenient. Owners, please address this before more loyal customers are lost!

The meat once cooked is tender and always fresh when I go in. There's also a huge array of middle eastern sweets such as baklava, and various other assortments. Plus Arabic decor for your home, definitely a good place to explore if you want to try a different variety.

Nice specialty grocery store along with bakery, meat shop and coffee bar…read more We have shopped probably four times and have purchased savory bakery items for a meal along with sweet desserts. Everything has been good and we enjoy trying new foods. We pick up a different tea each time to try from their unique selection. Lots of middle eastern style candies and snacks. Have picked up a number of different foods to take to a party for something different and they are always enjoyed. We notice the food turns over and you don't see expired food as often in these specialty stores. We have are not coffee drinkers but their coffee bar looks nice and professional. They have desserts to go along with the coffee and a few tables to sit at and enjoy. The very cordial owner is always there working and ready to help answer any questions.
