    Part of the noodle selection
    Tricia B.

    I love this store! While much smaller than Mr. Chen's Oriental Supermarket across the street, I find that the selection here is better curated and of better quality. We buy noodles, produce, spices, sauces and soups form here. The customer service is friendly and helpful too.

    They have a pretty big selection, though not of the additive-free versions of things. There's miso and natto and umeboshi and shimeji mushrooms and sembei and lots of teas. 日本人は来るといいでしょう。It's cheaper and bigger than buying things at Mt Fuji, and nearer than making a trip to Dallas. But it smells sooooooooooo so bad. I'm gonna need to wear a mask next time. Also lots of items don't have expiration dates or are unpriced, or are in unlabeled plastic bags. Also it's in a sketchy neighborhood, across from UALR, right next to a pawn shop.

    Nice little Asian store to get items needed. Filipino to Japanese is what I get and they have it all.

    Produce section is a disgrace! Everything old, moldy,…read moreoverpriced or not priced at all. I had to ask how much four different things were today. It sucks having to go to one store for produce, another for bulk beans and spices and things... Instead of having dry goods in bins, everything here is wrapped in plastic. Animal- and environment-maiming plastic. Come on!!!! There's a much more reasonably priced and better quality selection of organic produce than at WF or Kroger. A good selection of gluten-free grains and baking flours, as well as GF snacks, cereals... A crazy amount of vitamins and supplements - one whole side of the store. Lots of nice bulk items you won't find elsewhere, like jasmine tea and cinnamon sticks. Unique chocolates and teas and trail mixes - all kinda fun stuff. Plus they give you a free lady bug bag on your first visit - so nice. --- some things aren't fresh, like berries, daikon; some arent fresh and are way overpriced, like ginger; there aren't some items like red onions, cherry toor cilantro. it was freezing in the store; the classes they offer aren't of interest; the beauty section (shampoo, lotion, solid peetc.) selection isn't great. I mean there are tons of products, and it's great you can sample them, but they're not that great of quality.

    I don't really come here for the produce. It can be a bit pricey, for example, $4 Goats Milk that…read moreis $1.89 at Kroger or $5 Alkaline water that is $2.99 at Wal-Mart... However, I LOVE their organic supplements section! They have just about everything I go in looking for; it's an expansive selection of products. I'm into homeopathic, herbal and Ayurvedic medicine and I can always find things here that I can't seem to find anywhere else besides Amazon. Checkout is always quick and I love that they don't use plastic. I sell online a lot so the boxes they give me come in handy later for shipping. Great place!

    It's Trader Joe's, what's NOT to love about it?! I escaped California about a year and a half ago…read moreand there's very little that I mess about that poop hole, but Trader Joe's is one of them. I was tickled to death to find a location in Little Rock even though I have to drive about an hour from Diamondhead to get there. The store is well organized, the staff is friendly and efficient, and I can get my solid faves like they're frozen pizza dough, individual serving meals for those nights. I don't feel like cooking, and they come at a fantastic price. Cheaper than I can make them that's for sure. The wine selection is outstanding and you can't hardly beat their cheese department. About the only negative I can say is that I have asked their employees several times to please pass on the absolute need for a Trader Joe's in Hot Springs. Every single time they shoot me down and say that "there will never be a Trader Joe's in Hot Springs." Why is that? Arkansas is the number one state for people to be moving to and believe me, there are a whole lot of conservatives that are moving here like myself that still enjoy a little bit of that hippie vibe. Hook a sister up? Please? Pretty please with sugar on top?!?!

I love Trader Joe's for their organic selection of products and nice produce, so I was very happy to shop here for the week. The ambiance is always very nice and attractive looking, and you can easily find products in the store, depending on what you are looking for and what appeals to your interest. The service is wonderful and on point as always from the staff. They are always willing to help you out if you need assistance. Trader Joe's is an excellent grocery store with wonderful, high quality organic products and produce, and will always be my choice for organic foods whenever I need to go grocery shopping. It is simply the best hands down.
