I've been living in the northwest 290 area for more than 20 years now. My husband is from Southeast Asia, and he loves to eat typical Asian food every now and then. We used to have to go out of our way to find Asian goodies, like sticky rice, or green papayas to make the Laos famous papaya salad. Now we find everything we need at Saigon Asian Market on 529. When we first saw the name of this place, we were very excited to come see what was inside. To our surprise, we discovered not only groceries but also freshly prepared cooked meals and delicious Vietnamese desserts. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the delicious spices and the aroma of the fresh soups and different hot dishes they serve. Every time I come by the store; I usually go for a few things but always end up getting way more than I went in for. They have fresh spring rolls, Vietnamese desserts such as banana tapioca pudding, fruit cocktails with different toppings such as leechee jelly, and also, the 3-color dessert that's made of 3 layers like red beans, yellow mung beans and green jelly. They also have a large produce section where you can find bok choy, Napa cabbage and Chinese broccoli to name a few. They have tons of canned goods and all kinds of spice sauces or condiments like soy sauce, sriracha sauce and hoisin sauce. If you are craving fresh coconut water, you can also find it here as they have fresh coconuts. The owners of this place are extremely friendly. When I come here and they are out of spring rolls they immediately tell me to wait five minutes, and they make fresh spring rolls for me. I really enjoy shopping here. The place is very clean; it smells delicious and the prices are very affordable. They have everything we need from noodle soups to rice paper wrappers so we can make our own fresh spring rolls at home. Also, they have some tables and chairs, so you can sit there and eat their cooked food. As I mentioned before, we used to drive quiet far to buy Asian groceries, to China town on Bellaire, H-Mart in Katy or 99 ranch market on I-10. Having Saigon Asian market near us has made our lives so much easier. It's so convenient because we can make a quick trip without having to drive far from home. Even when we just crave a few spring rolls for lunch, it's nice to be able to stop by and grab some. The parking lot is also a big plus as it's very spacious and I never struggle to find a parking spot. Since Saigon Asian Market opened near us, it's become a part of our daily routine. Its convenience has made life simpler, whether we need groceries for dinner or just grab prepared food during lunch, it's only a short drive away. Having a place like that close to home really makes a difference. I really hope they keep up the good work and stay in business for a long time. read more

I bought several trays from Saigon Asian Market. One tray cost $40 and had a dead insect inside. I was so terrified that I threw the whole tray away and forgot to take a picture. Another tray cost $70 and also contained a dead bug. This time, I took a photo of the food with the bug and sent it to Mr. Mai, who claims to be the owner of Saigon Asian Market. Instead of apologizing and reassuring me that he would check with the kitchen to ensure cleaner food preparation, he texted me back in a rude, disrespectful manner, accusing me of trying to cause trouble for his store. He bragged that his business is incredibly popular with plenty of customers, clearly implying that he couldn't care less about a few individual customers. Despite clear evidence of unsanitary cooking conditions, he denied it and turned the blame on me, claiming I was just picking a fight. I texted him to let him know that their unsanitary food poses a public health risk, and that I would be reporting the business to the health department and the consumer protection agency with the clear evidence I have. Only then did he get scared and sent me a $70 refund via Zelle for the tray with the dead bug (the one I photographed). It is such a shame because Ms. Thuỷ, the cook, is always very cheerful and polite, and young Quý is incredibly respectful and well-mannered. (Ms. Thuỷ was off on the day I ordered these trays and she didn't cook them.) However, the owner's behavior proves that he is an irresponsible person who has zero respect for customers. He runs an unsanitary business but refuses to take accountability. After refunding the contaminated tray which I took picture, he acted like he did me a favor and implied that I was making a big deal out of nothing. Poor food hygiene is bad enough, but treating a food safety issue like a minor inconvenience and blaming the customer is completely unacceptable. Save yourself the health risk and stay far away from this place! read more

Saigon Asian market - Best Crawfish - Grocery Near Me - Houston, Texas

I have passed here many times and I'm always making the trek to 99 Ranch and H Mart so I decided to stop in based on what I've seen them post online. It is smallish but they have a lot of selections of many Asian cultures represented. I bought the spring rolls, mini Persian cucumbers, green leaf lettuce, teobokki packaged and chips. Most of their products are what you would find and the prices are reasonable. They have farm fresh eggs and prepared meals and desserts. I didn't know what everything but everyone was smiling and wanted to help. I just like that now we can get our products here instead of driving so far. Next time, I'm going to try a plate and dessert. I want places like this to stay open so it's not just fast food around here. Everyone needs to go!! read more

I had no idea this place was here. Lots of Asian goods and they also have a restaurant inside. There is no where to sit inside, you have to take the food to go. A lot of Vietnamese foods. Fresh made, packages, catering etc. Fruits, noodles, coffee, ice cream, meat, fish, rice etc. Reduces the need to drive to Bellaire, HMART or Ranch 99. They don't have everything the big stores have but close enough. read more

Noticed the store while driving by and had to stop. I usually travel to Bellaire or 249 for my Vietnamese needs from where I live. It's never an inconvenience but this place is probably about 10 minutes away and very convenient when I need a quick pick up. I'm excited to see the hot bar and plan to come back for a meal or banh mi in the future. The store is small compared to other Vietnamese markets but this one carries just about everything you may need plus more! Including Indian and Mediterranean spices. I recommend it if you're looking for something in the area without having to travel far. They have only been open 6 months as of this post and excited to see them grow. They also have boiled crawfish (Vietnamese style) and a catering menu. read more

I was surprised this place sold live and boil Crawfish! I'm glad they did! The boiled crawfish is soooooo good. It's juicy, soaked with flavor and spicy! They clean it so well and I dont get any dead crawfish! Service is quick and friendly as well. I would highly recommend this place for crawfish and they also sell cooked food like thit kho, ca kho, bun Bo hue, and many more items. read more

Love seeing more Asian grocery stores open up in this area. There's quite a good selection of items here! I can get Vietnamese, Thai, and even Korean ingredients. They also have an extensive menu of Vietnamese takeout items. I got to try the Mi Quang and it was pretty solid. I'm glad that I don't have to drive too far now to get Asian ingredients for home cooking. read more

An extremely solid Asian grocery store, especially for Southeast Asian (Vietnamese Thai, Filipino), also they had some Korean and Chinese food too. They have some premade foods, meat area, fresh produce lots of canned goods, sauces, Ramen, and some frozen items as well. Parking lot seemed very ample and they also had a very large catering menu as well of premade foods. The cashier was very friendly and courteous. The grocery store is about 3 aisles a limited price options. The prices seemed competitive would highly recommend and definitely going back and looking forward to ordering some of the catering items for larger gatherings. Note my rating system: 1 Star: I wouldn't recommend 2 Stars: Didn't hit my standards 3 Stars: Average (nothing special) 4 Stars: Above Average. Would recommend.
