Stopped by and explored the store. By the front of the door, they have prepared foods, so make sure to check it out. I walked around each aisle to see all the offerings they had, found so many Thai products. Next time I'm in the area, will stop by again to pick up some sauces.

I came here for my pho ingredients and other seasonings that other Asian markets don't carry. I like that they remodeled inside the place. They have so many fresh greens and herbs for your authentic dishes. I like the fact the place and clean and organized. I haven't had any issues getting what I need. They have a nice selection of vegan and vegetarian friendly ingredients like my favorite dried mushroom seasoning that replaces MSG sooo good! A lot is assorted instant noodles and flavors isles of all kinds of dried noodles. They sell fresh rice noodles to udon noodles and assorted tofu products. In the back they have fresh cut up meat assorted. The frozen section has a lot of authentic Asian items from wonton wrappers, appetizer pot stickers, frozen assorted fishes, squid, beef tendon, shrimp, frozen mock meats tofu and setain. They also sell different kinds of chop sticks my favorite is the ones that comes in a red paper slip that you get in the chinese restaurant. Their prices are good and the staff will help you find what you need. Overall a nice place to go to get authentic Asian products that you don't typically get in your local grocery stores.

The banh mi is on the 2nd shelve from the top.

Went to the grand opening of a banh mi place nearby, had to wait 2 hrs to get our orders. Decided to just kill time and stepped into Phan Thiet. Was getting hangry so I bought a few snacks and their Banh Mi. All I can say is it was cheaper and much more delicious than the nearby newly opened banh mi place. I got the 2 banh mi for $15.99

The ever elusive Galanga! My favorite aromatic root for soups.

I was planning on cooking a batch of tom kha soup & all stores nearby were out of galanga (or galangal). I called here & found they had fresh AND frozen in stock! I made the drive & got what I needed. The ever elusive galangal! My favorite aromatic root for soups. There's nothing like it!

Authentic Vietnamese Salted Cream Coffee

Great Vietnamese/Asia oriental market. Been a regular for last 5 years. Highly recommend if you're looking for great Vietnamese product. They also offer in-house cook items as well. Very fresh. Highly recommend.

I miss the Caputo's in Downers Grove and stop in this location when I am in the area. Great…read moreselection of fruits and vegetables. The baked goods and cookies are my favorite. My tip is to check the sales flyers, many products are on sale and you might not realize the savings!!

Since this location opened just a few blocks from our home, Caputo's quickly became our go-to…read moreneighborhood market. My husband shops there at least three times a week, which says a lot about how much we've relied on it over the years. We genuinely like this store, but lately we've noticed a decline in the quality of the produce. Things like tomatoes appearing shriveled or, at times, even moldy. It's disappointing, especially for a place we trust for everyday shopping. I also attempted to place an order for Easter dinner, something we've done many times in the past. Prices have increased quite a bit, so this year I decided to keep it simple and order just the lamb. The online system didn't allow me to select the date I needed, so I called for help. That's where things became frustrating. I spoke with Chef Jose, and communication was difficult. I asked if he spoke Spanish, since it's my native language and I thought it might help. His response felt dismissive, mentioning he speaks Italian and other things, but the interaction itself came across as borderline rude and unhelpful. That impression was later echoed by the front desk, who suggested I contact another chef. Chef Doug, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Even though we played a bit of phone tag, he consistently followed up with a helpful and kind attitude, which I truly appreciated. Overall, this is still a market we want to love. It has been part of our routine and community. But between the recent produce issues and inconsistent customer service, it has been a bit disappointing compared to what it once was. I'm hopeful they find their way back to the quality and warmth that made them our favorite local market in the first place. BTW, one must place the order all the way to the paying screen to be able to select the desire pick up date.

Meijer Unicorn Vanilla Iced Doughnut: Although there are plenty of specialty doughnuts that I enjoy…read moremore, one of my favorite types of "basic" doughnuts is vanilla iced yeast/raised doughnuts. For a grocery store bakery, I've been impressed with the doughnuts at my local Meijer (although the selection is sadly wildly inconsistent). Walking past the bakery, I did a double take when I spotted these unicorn doughnuts. They looked incongruous in a grocery store and more like something I'd find at a gourmet doughnut shop or artisan bakery. Being a dude, I'm not really into unicorns, but these doughnuts looked too spectacular to pass up. At the risk of being called a girlie man by Arnold, I surreptitiously nabbed one from the display. Not only were the doughnuts coated in sweet vanilla icing, but there was also a thick and colorful buttercream mane. I found the dough to have a nice thick and chewy texture while also being light and pillowy. The flavor was a combination of butter in the body of the dough, along with vanilla from the icing. Unlike some chains (Dunkin), the layer of icing was thick and satisfying and that's before factoring in the extra frosting. These mythical doughnuts are Doughboy approved , but can we get something manlier next time? Doughboy_Food_Reviews

I would like to give the store 2 starts because of my horrible experienced today with a customer…read moreservice lady Elizabeth . I had a disappointing experience at the customer service desk. I initially went there to request a price adjustment and then asked to purchase a Mega Millions lottery ticket. While I was filling out the ticket, the employee moved to another register to assist a different customer. When I finished, I informed her that I was ready. Instead of explaining the process calmly, she raised her voice and told me to go to the back of the line again . I explained that I have a disability and difficulty walking, which was apparent while I was moving around the store, but I did not feel that my circumstances were handled with patience or courtesy. I speak with an accent , I don't understand why such a rude attitude against me, when she saw me having difficulty walking. why if I have a disability elizabeth customer service wanted for me to go back in line , when I was in line first . I have never had anyone treated me without respect and I hope the store manager sees this posted , and provided appropriate customer human services guidance !
