I could walk through this store for hours, there is so much to see here…read more To start with Ebisu Mini Japan is not my scene. I know next to nothing about what I am seeing in here. The parking lot is small and always crowded. It seems when I am walking by there is always an adventure happening in it. I'd suggest forgoing it and just finding street parking or using one of the nearby parking garages. The store has multiple levels inside of it. The first level is toys at the front, food to the back right and health, beauty, toiletries and dishes to the back left. The toy selection is vast with lots of cute Japanese characters. Also extensive is the food. You will traditional American brands (Kit Kat for example) in flavors that aren't typically sold in regular American stores. My only qualm is I wish I could easily discern what is vegan. I have not tried some things I'd be interested in purchasing because of that. The second level is beauty supplies. My wife has been purchasing beauty supplies from Japan for a while and was excited to know she could purchase some of them locally now. The third layer is stationary items and school supplies. There are a lot of cute notebooks, pencils, pens and erasers amongst other things. The final layer is all claw machines. I find myself browsing more than buying at Ebisu Mini Japan. That is what ultimately keeps this a three star spot.

I went 4 days after opening, so a couple of items did not yet have prices labeled. However, the staff had a portable price checker, and they were happy to tell me what the price was. It's essentially a mom and pop Indian grocery store-they aren't too big but they have everything you'd expect to find. I was surprised that they didn't charge me for the green Chile I bought (the cashier said not to worry about it) but they have great prices on most items and I was happy to support a small business.

Maybe I've been spoiled by living in larger cities in the past, but Asian Center Supermarket is…read moresmaller and pricier than I'm used to :( For example, a pack of Yakult here was $5.99, whereas ASSI would sell the same brand for $3.99). I think it's because there just aren't any competitors in central PA (closest H-Mart would be 1.5h away, ASSI plaza 1h away, etc). The produce selection looked ok - you could get things like thai chili peppers here, bokchoy, or more exotic things like lychee and jackfruit. There are a lot of aisles with dry goods like rice, noodles, sauces (they did carry jarred Maeseri thai sauces which is what I was looking for). They have a seafood section which had a strong smell and a "food court" with labeled fresh food items which was pretty barren - maybe 2 takeout things of dumplings on the shelf that didn't look particularly appetizing (visited on a Sunday around noon). Also, notably, the store is not in downtown Lancaster -- it's kind of remote from everything else. I don't think it would be worth making a special trip for.

I'm so happy this grocery store exists and love to visit as often as I can. The store is clean and…read moreorganized and I love the produce selection. The staff is very helpful and the seafood counter is a great place to try fresh fish. I picked up some mackerel last time I visited and the seafood clerk was able to filet it to my specifications.

It's a small, but tidy store with wide aisles. The majority of the food and ingredients are Indian, and I was excited to find some tandoori spice mix. Close inspection of the cooking directions gave me a chuckle... a simple typo suggests that I must drain the life juice out of someone... truthfully, I have a long list of potential donors. Hee. They also have a nice sized bathroom, which saved my day, and I couldn't have appreciated it more. The fellow behind the counter seemed to be the only employee present. He was friendly and fun. I appreciated that, as well. A fun little detour. Always recommend those.

I only dabble in cooking Middle Eastern food but am familiar with specialty groceries in this area, and this locale had lots and lots of stuff I see nowhere else.

I found Asia Food as a recommended grocer and decided to try it out. Asia Food is located in a stand alone building on York Road. It has a private parking lot. Inside the building is pretty big. There is a lot of space on the shelves, making the grocer appear more bare than it is. I believe the shelves are organized by country but I am not sure as there aren't labels for the aisles. I found most of what I was looking for by walking the aisles multiple times. There were a few things that I was unable to find and had to go elsewhere for. There is a credit card minimum which it tells you by the register. Prices seemed reasonable though I don't have much to compare to as my Asian grocer experience is limited. Overall, I will return here for my Asian staples.
