They have a huge variety from many nice jewelry pieces, crockery, baked goods, food & dairy products, health items, frozen foods, fresh hot prepared items and a deli counter!

They had a fresh baked salmon Wellington that looked really delicious! I would have purchased it but we weren't going directly home. A very clean, neat and organized store.

And yes, in case you didn't know, while it's called "International", all those nations are in Asia. We come here mainly for two things - either getting ingredients to make hot pot at home, or just eating hot pot here. They also have dry pot, which my wife and I really like as an option. You grab a basket and fill it with whatever veggies you want, then a separate one and fill it with proteins, then you pay by the weight. You can either get it hot pot style in a big bowl of hot broth, or dry pot where they cook it in the broth but serve your food already cooked. As far as the grocery selection, they have a big seafood selection and a decent butcher area. Also a lot of Asia snacks and frozen selection, and a small liquor section too. Produce is fine. But if you're making hot pot at home, they have the sliced meat, soup base, sauces, and a little frozen fish ball self-serve area. If you don't want to eat hot pot here, they serve other Asian hot dishes, and there's a bubble tea spot and bakery here, but I haven't tried anything else besides the hot pot. Sense a trend yet? It's not as big as Joong Boo, and it's bigger than the current H Mart for now but will be interesting to see how the new one compares. Overall it's a fine grocery store and we'll come back when that craving for mala spice strikes.

Also went in store before and remember it as neat and tidy.

Fresh produce. You can find some great deals on their fresh meats too. The bakery is dangerous for carb resistors as they prepare some treats that are truly magic in here. I can never just walk by for I am too weak. In my humble and hungry opinion, KD's highlight are their prepared items. Those soups are the best! Wild mushroom, a few borscht variations, all delicious. They have full on prepared dinners too. I can't get enough of those blintzes...blintz twice if you're addicted. Considering the competition within the surrounding Crystal Lake area, do I think K D is distinctive enough to hold it's own? Of borscht I do. #dadjokes

Service was average--when I asked staff about a few items, it seemed like they were still getting familiar with the layout, as I was directed to the wrong areas a couple of times. In terms of pricing, I found it to be a bit higher compared to other Asian markets in the area. Nothing really stood out as exceptional or above average. Overall, if you're in the area, it's worth stopping by to check it out, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

The biggest difference between Indian Express and Patel Bros is the size. Indian express is smaller and has less items but still has all the essentials. It's a good place to shop when you just need to pick up a few items. We've been there twice since their grand opening, and the employees are friendly, and items are still well-stocked. There is a distinct smell when you enter the market, but eventually you will get used to it. I am not sure I will stop going to Patel Bros, but I like the fact I have a market closer for any last-minute items I forgotten. Lastly, they do not have prepared hot foods (e.g. puffs, jabeli, rotis, etc.) like Patel Brothers and IndiGo.

Things that you would normally go online and wait days for, are now just a ten minute (depending on where you live) drive away. It's a substantially sized store (for the type of business that it is.) They carry Thai Basil, Korean red pepper paste, fish sauce, long stems of lemongrass and plum sauce to name a few!!! And their prices are reasonable. The owner is fantastic. I had called and left a message inquiring of a few items. He called me back moments later with an answer. And upon arriving at the store I had a couple recipe questions and he was very helpful in offering suggestions. C'mon out Dekalb and support this place! We need to keep it here.
