I must have driven past 99 Ranch Market a thousand times. To be completely honest, I always thought…read moreit was a nightclub. Imagine my surprise when I discovered it is actually an Asian grocery store. I was in the area and decided to stop in because I buy my green tea at Asian grocery stores. The selection is incredible, and the prices are usually much better than what you'll find at big-box grocery stores. Once inside, I quickly realized that 99 Ranch Market is much more than just a grocery store. It offers a wide variety of fresh produce, live seafood, quality meats, frozen foods, snacks, and pantry staples from across Asia. One of my favorite parts of shopping at 99 Ranch is browsing the colorful packaging. Many of the products feature bold artwork, vibrant colors, and whimsical characters that make every aisle feel like a new adventure. Also, 99 Ranch also has a food court, bakery, and tea shop. Several staff members approached me asking me if I needed help. And yes...I left with my green tea. Now that I know what 99 Ranch Market really is, when I drive by I will chuckle to myself remembering that I thought it was a nightclub.

This is a solid offering for Asian food. Does not have the fish or meat choices that H Mart does,…read morebut has good produce, and a decent fish and meat market/counter.

They have a huge variety of Asian products, and the fresh fruits and vegetables always look crisp, supple, and fresh. Their noodle selection is amazing, and I love finding rare and hard-to-find items every time I visit. They carry just about every Asian spice and seasoning you can think of, along with so many delicious snacks and treats. The frozen food section is also excellent with tons of variety and great options to choose from. We especially love their selection of teas and coffees. There is plenty of parking. Staff was kind & professional. Overall, it's a wonderful store with a great selection, quality products, and something new to discover every visit. Highly recommend shopping here!

Fortunately for us, we looked across the street and saw this spot which turned out to be a gem. It's a cajun meat market that doubles as a cajun kitchen. They offer simple, no frills dishes that are pretty tasty and true to Louisiana cuisine. There's limited seating and while there's a steady number of folks coming in, didnt see anyone not grt a table so the flow is pretty steady for geoups of 4 or less. If you're bringing a group larger than 4, you may have a hard time seating everyones. We had the shrimp po boy and the roast beef boy. The french bread on both was amazing: warm and soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Both were loaded pretty generously and came with lettuce, tomato pickles and mayo. The side we chose were fries which were pretty spectacular: thinly cut and well seasoned. The only sad part is that it's way north for us. We'd probably be there more often if ot were closer.

The entire place reeked of rotting fish, including the front office area.

And I had no idea just how "getting going on it" my friend was. He was having a good time out there, chatting with folks about his aquatic product. I purchased a couple combo packs and vamoosed forthwith. The first time I tried the weed, I didn't rinse it, and I just snacked on it. It tasted a bit too salty, but that was also kind of interesting because it reminded me of being at the beach! Later on, I found out he was selling via Wheatsville, so I purchased a package from there. What I like about the way he packages his stuff is this: 1) there is plenty of veggie goodness in there; I snack on it by myself and by itself, and it's a very filling salad; you may want to use it as two or three portions for a more varied salad or soup 2) the packaging is made of bio-plastic, so there's no question of how to dispose of it; no matter what, it's just going to break down out there in a not-so-bad way My later snackings on the seaweed have been improved in my opinion because I've started lightly rinsing the product before tasting. With just a hint of saltiness, you can really appreciate the texture and inherent flavor of the plant. YUM!

I know Daily Juice has them, and I heard Wheatsville too. Honestly, the guy who sells this stuff is a genius. Like a modern day Renaissance man, this guy does it all. C'mon, he's like a mad scientist farming at his small headquarters (which I hope he calls his lair) and bringing it fresh to all of us. Almost like a sea weed Jesus. If you read his blog/website (http://austinseaveggies.com/) he sounds like a cool dude. Maybe one day we'll cross paths, party and talk about science. Who knows? Its possible.
