The space was large with lots of choices, bright lighting and clear signs with pricing. The produce looked fresh and was super plentiful. The prices were also great. We got about a weeks worth of groceries, including frozen dumplings, fresh veggies, apples, eggs, chicken, oil, spices, tea and noodles for under $50. It was also so helpful to have a large parking lot available right there!

Solid Asian food market in the South Philly area. I've come multiple times for Asian ingredients…read moreand have been able to find ~90% of what I've been looking for. It's frankly a bit run down and dimly lit, and definitely has the smell of an Asian market, that while it may be nostalgic for some, including me, it's probably not the preferred or ideal experience in the end. We packed up our stuff in a box available by the counters, and even that gave us the smell of the market on the way home. Staff are all Chinese-speaking, and thus it's probably hard to get help if you're not familiar and know what you're looking for. As a non-Chinese speaker, I personally am usually mostly in and out without much interaction with the staff beyond the personal at the checkstand. All that being said, this is well-stocked, and has what you're looking for if you know what you're looking for. Otherwise, probably best to visit elsewhere for a place that can offer more customer service, or just a more comfortable environment for shopping if you're not at home in Asian markets.

They have a surprisingly great selection of fresh produce, herbs, groceries, tortillas, beans, rice, pantry staples, and more at prices that help stretch my budget. They also carry produce you don't always find at larger grocery stores, like papaya and lychee, along with plenty of other specialty items. I recently picked up everything I needed to make my homemade herb hummus with fresh vegetables--all at a reasonable price. The aisles are a little narrow, but so are my pockets these days, so I'll happily trade a little extra maneuvering for the great prices and selection. What really keeps me coming back is the people. Everyone has always been patient, pleasant, and welcoming. It's nice to support a small business that genuinely serves its community.

For just…read morearound $6, I got a huge variety: 5 bunches of cilantro, 8 oranges (half blood orange), 4 limes, 2 mangos, a cabbage, a basket of cherry tomatoes, 8 roma tomatoes, a bell pepper, and a bag of sweet chili peppers. Some items had a bit of mold and needed trimming, but honestly, for the price, it was still a steal. I also took a walk through the store itself, and everything on display looked fresh and well-stocked -- clearly, the regular shoppers get high-quality produce. The owner was super kind, even let me pick out my own bag, and the whole customer service experience felt very relaxed and friendly. For a spot inside the busy Reading Terminal Market, OK Lee's really holds it down. It's super clean and well organized. It's officially my new go-to for weekly groceries.

I know that when rating a place that Yelp doesn't yet have a page for, I tend to give it five…read morestars. These places are unknown to the majority of Yelpers and I want people to know about some of my favourite shops and restaurants, hence, Chai Hong Market gets a five-star rating, especially because for such a small space, they are VERY well stocked. Chai Hong sells Asian groceries with a concentration on Southeast Asian (Cambodian in particular). The owner, a woman with plucked eyebrows who watches Thai movies, is at the register every time I go. She may come across as a little unpleasant at first, but she's really helpful anyway. After shopping here for several years, she's become my shop buddy, even though neither of us know the others' name. We speak in a pidginmix of Thai, French and English, but she's got good mastery of each of them (it's me, being that I'm not a native speaker of any of those three that has a problem with communicating). Anyway, the store. Chai Hong has some great quality groceries at great prices! She's seemingly the only place I can find both gkaprao and horap'ha, two varieties of basil used in Thai cuisine. There's a huge variety of various coconut milks and creams, some Southeast Asian candies (they've got ting ting jahe, a ginger-chew I loved in childhood), more tinned sauces and pastes than you can shake a stick at and cooking utensils and that's just one little aisle. Sadly, they don't carry Sealect Tuna, my very favourite brand of tuna. The produce is cheap and of good quality and you can find porkbelly (skin still on) in the fridge in the back for about a buck or two a pound (I forget). I buy a couple pounds of it and cure-then-smoke homemade bacon with it and use the freshly smoked skin to make black-eyed peas, black beans or collards. The owner makes the all-important lemongrass paste that is the basis of just about every Cambodian stew, soup or curry, kroeung, and sells it in little containers for $4. One container can make about a gallon of curry, so it's not that bad a price at all. She also sells her homemade sweet pickles. I don't much like them, to be honest, but others rave about them. Chai Hong Market often carries keffir lime saplings by the window facing 7th street and carries kaki (just looked it up; they're called 'persimmons' in English) real cheap when they're in season. The longan she carries when in season are sweet, juicy and tasty. I remember sharing some on a bus ride up 7th street from here up to South with a nice and adventurous Southern lady (I think she was from the Carolinas some where). On the way out, you can pick up a pineapple stick (I often do in the summer) and put seasoning on it and eat it on your way back home. I'm hoping more people will frequent this diamond in the rough, as well as the other businesses in the area. One caveat: the aisles might be a little narrow for larger people, but I can get through just fine. Cutting back on ham and walking more is definitely worth it if only to navigate Chai Hong market effectively.
