    Snacks
    Alisa B.

    One of the few asian markets in the area with very fresh seafood! Although they do not have a huge variety, they do have lots of asian snacks and drinks to choose from. Canned milk tea, mochi, instant ramen, Pocky sticks... they've got them all! When we came, there was a big swarm around the seafood area. Most people come here for the fresh seafood: fish, live shrimp, crab, etc. That is one of popular reasons that people would endure such a tiny little grocery store like this. Not only that, there was a long line for the cashier checkout area. It's not very organized either. Although they have two aisles marked with blue tape, many people just cut other customers or go infront of eachother! Not very organized and the staff didn't care too much to organize the lines either. They also have a sushi boba shop connected to the building, but it seems to be closed due to COVID. Overall, I would give them 3.5 stars if I could. I'll round it up to 4 since I got my milk tea fix and a couple unique asian snacks.

    I bought 2 pounds clam with one 0.16 pound rock in!!! Was it a Black Friday DEAL? So disappointed!!!

    They seem to have all the Island goodies we remember from living in the Mariana Islands!

    This place has a lot of imported goods that I remember as a kid growing up on an island where Asian products were prevalent. I find their employees to be friendly and at times a language barrier could be interpreted otherwise, but once you open up a conversation they warm up. They have a wide variety of these products and a great seafood selection! I find myself coming here more than 3 times a month and my kids love this place! If you are looking for ingredients for some Asian cuisine then you are at the right place! Check them out and experience some new things and get some great seafood!

    A good chef needs fresh food. This place is my first choice to buy seafood. I will take my friend to the Ocean Star Seafood. I am sure that they will love it just like me.

    Oh, man... this was my best seafood experience yet! I…read morevisited at about 6PM on a Thursday and was promptly seated for a table of 2. We seriously had the SWEETEST server! She took SUCH good care of us and was super knowledgeable about the menu items and market prices. We got our drinks within minutes and she made sure they were never empty. Not to mention, she checked in on us multiple times during our visit. I ordered the combo # 2 and added a Dungeness crab to it. That bad boy was FRESH. The whole boil was dripping in sauce, cooked perfectly and let me tell you... the Louisiana flavor seasoning is IT!! It's the perfect mix of Cajun and garlic butter. The main star was definitely the Dungeness, but the snow crab was a close second! The legs were a really good size and full of meat! The shrimp was great too! (I always get head-on) I left soooo full and satisfied! Overall, the food was amazing and the service was the best I have received in years.. We will be back soon!

    Mixed Bag (o crab)…read more The food was almost all great. We tried garlic fries, salad, clam chowder, snow crab, king crab, and lobster. DS picked this restaurant for celebrating his 18th b-day, so it was disappointing that his king crab was twice as expensive as the snow crab and not great quality. Everything else was great - fresh, saucy, and well-seasoned. I liked that we could add potatoes and sausages to fill out our meal. The service was weird. Our waitress was really sweet and friendly, but seemed clueless. There was nothing on the table - no napkins or salt shakers or utensils. I had to ask for a fork for my salad, then for utensils for the crabs. The ambience was a mixed bag. There was a homeless guy next to our van and signs of a recent campfire. The restaurant was mostly empty, but they didn't offer my family a booth - we had to sit with our kids at a table in the bar. The lighting was good. It was very frustrating not to have metal forks and crab picks. It feels like a high end restaurant, but the utensils are cheep disposable plastic and there was a weird robot was talking too loudly in a weird high pitched girlish voice. The bathroom was really dirty. Overall, I would eat here if someone else were paying because the food was mostly great. For the price, I would want a few improvements.

For some…read morereason, Roth's popped up, and I read elsewhere someone mentioned IGA, I knew it must be like a market and a restaurant. Wrong! It's a grocery store, with salad and soup bar, and order sandwiches. I just wanted soup, Naan bread & Hummus. Hubby wanted to order his own sandwich. He got BLT. I've already found a table, but it's not a restaurant, more like where employees go for breaks. Hubby, on the other hand walked back to pay for our food, and to order his BLT, and go back when it's ready, and there are no utensils where there are tables, so he had to walk back there again. By the time, he's ready to sit down with me to eat, I'm halfway done! His BLt is still dripping grease, and he had to have strong teeth to bite the meat off his sandwich. They didn't look fresh, it was leathery & greasy! Part gray, part white. That's NOT bacon! I'm glad I didn't get that. My soup was just OK. I did enjoyed my Naan & Hummus. Hubby went back to buy a sweet bakery to share, I put mine in the cooler, for later. This is not the type of restaurant, that I have in mind!

Their excellent variety of pastries, breads, and cakes make them one of the more standout worthy panaderias. This is as local as it gets. The shop caters to the local community in Salem, which is home to one of most underrated and budding Mexican scenes in the state. They have a fresh daily selection of various baked goods and pan dulce specialties. The shop is a bakery through and through, but also is a pseudo-convenience store. They also sell pre-bagged pastries, avocados, snacks, hot sauces, and drinks. Their conchas are excellent. I also really enjoy their bigotes, brocas, and chilindrinas. Like any good bakery, they also have special occasion cakes for sale, which can be customized if ordered ahead of time. Their Mexican king cake (rosca de reyes) Cookies and other flakey pastries, such as the abanico are often sold out before the day is over. Prices are not wallet breaking and the service is outstanding. Spanish is preferred and so is cash. There is no seating here, and it's never been so busy that I haven't had time to browse for what I needed. Parking is tight for a shared lot, but manageable overall. Anyone who is in the area and likes a good piece of bread(s), owe themselves a visit to Emilio's.
