Friends recommended us to check out the new HL Asian Market in South Sarasota. We made a stop on a…read moreSunday on our way back from Siesta Key. On entrance to the parking lot, there is a sign advertising Roast Duck, Roast Pork and Roast Pork Belly! It is a good size market with kitchen items, sauces, noodles, ramen, rice, dairy, produce, meats, seafood, etc. There are mixed Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean and Chinese food items. The place is clean and well organized. At the entrance, a layout wall chart was clearly in display! According to my wife, most prices are cheaper than Fort Myers, but a few items are higher. There are live fish, lobsters, blue crabs and other seafood available. The lobster prices are good! We did not buy any seafood because we simply were not prepared to cook seafood and a small cooler in our car. Wait, they have a huge live King Crab in the tank for $59.99 per pound! They have a good selection of Sake and Soju. We picked up a whole roast duck, 1 1/2 pound of roast pork, produce, tofu, dried mushroom, and dried chrysanthemum teas. No bakery in this market and we pick up a few packages of frozen roast pork bun, or Cha Shu Bao. The staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back!

They sell a good brand with a lengthy expiration date imported from Algeria. I was also able to acquire a great looking jar of Roasted Red Peppers imported from Turkiye.

This is an exceptional Asian grocery store. It's the only one I've seen that has fresh meat. The…read moreselection of items is huge. Nice looking veggies and even the freezer section has pao (buns) and a mix pack of Shu Mai style (dim sum) dumplings. ()So if you're in the downtown sarasota area this is where you can come to pick up Asian groceries. Whereas I generally pickup Japanese goods for cooking at home, I quite fancy the ginger snacks (Thai, vietnamese style). They have the freshly made 煎堆 Jian dui *Chinese sesame balls* which are quite yummy. Bought those items today & some gyouza dipping sauce to give my mom bc she doesn't know how to make it and it's convenient for her to just heat and eat her gyouza dumplings. ()The owner is so nice and helpful, actually the lady at the counter was super nice. I know most local folks that enter might not know their way around this store and let me put you at ease... these folks are the bee's knees. Super nice. They will help you find what you need. They have some freshly prepared food things by the register. Cooked chicken, sesame balls, cool Vietnamese shrimp roll, and more! Huge variety of cold drinks too. Jelly drinks, soy beverages, Thai tea, ramune & so much more !

It's so cute in there and there are so many wonderful things to see and purchase. I could have spent hours there exploring everything. I love anything international especially an area of the world I haven't visited. I loved all the runners. They were all so cute and colorful with beautiful patterns. I wanted them all but sadly had a small suitcase. I also loved anything Christmas they had. I have a wooden village and found some cute things to put in it. I especially love this cute little wooden tree that fits in perfectly with what I have. My mom and I also got some delicious chocolates. She got two 70% cacao bars for her and my husband. I got delicious little chocolate praline Santas for us to all share. We were too late to get a Kringle since most were sold out and my husband's family is picky. They have 15 different flavors that I'd like to try sometime. They're so good. I've had them before. I also loved all the wooden dolls, straw horses and local food stuffs. Such a cute store! Love it!
