I have experienced better and I cannot understand the other reviews about Sun Oriental Market. I could not find redeeming qualities that would justify 5-star reviews. The reviews are what got me in the store as I was looking for an alternative to Lee Lee's which is SO far away. First, it's somewhat old and rundown which is fine, but almost everything in the store is dirty. Much of the merchandise appears to be very old and dusty. Aside from the dust, the old age is apparent with the products that are out of date. It's very easy to find products well-beyond their expiration date throughout the store. The floors aren't swept or mopped and most of the shelves are scantily stocked and disorderly. Freezer items appear freezer-burned, and the pricing is extraordinarily high. Selection is poor, at best. The "Oriental" in the name of the store could easily be more appropriately be "Korean" as most selections available are Korean-specific. That could be a major part of my disappointment as I was shopping for "Asian" selections; Thai, Japanese, and Chinese, specifically.

Walked around the store after returning an Amazon purchase (appreciate the ability to do that). I…read morehave enjoyed their organic strawberries in particular lately as they are fresh and taste good. They still have the hot and cold buffet that is $11.99/pound now. They still have the pizza take out bar with a variety of toppings. They have some items or brands you won't find in other places but may not have brands you get elsewhere. It's nice to discover some new things you haven't tried before. The bakery has some tempting things to look at. The store is large with wide enough aisles so you can browse easily. Prices are a little higher than other places but some things may be worth it. The parking is limited only because of all the other businesses in the area. I'll go back and look around again. I can usually find something I want to try.

Every time I find myself at this Whole Foods store, I reminded at how I really like the way it's…read moreset up. Walk straight into the fruit and produce area and then I wind my way around usually picking up items. I didn't plan on buying like chocolate bars and popcorn. But the store often feels manageable and not overly crowded. The parking lot also is not as chaotic as the one on Oracle and ina. Fruit always looks pretty good as do the vegetables and avocados which I shop a lot for. They could really step their game up in the florals department. Then it would almost a one stop shop for me!

I guess you have to be a little bit crazy to want to do customer service work and to do it well because the shoppers at the Wilmot location have been known to be grumpy, hung-over, rich people from the Sabino Canyon foothills area."

They add features, cute trade names, and try to develop cults around products to boost sales. While it's not a bad idea to boost sales, the basics have to be right. I have to choose this locale, where I went Wednesday, to moan about the severe hike in prices, short cycle of products, and the drift from doing the basics correctly. TJ used to march to a different drummer. House brands with quality for household staples, often with an international flavor and source. There is still a wide variety of decent international staples, but it's highly focused on cult products and flavorings. Prepackaged and ultra-processed foods are becoming standard(s). Protein is down, carbs are up. There's still a reasonable variety of veggies, fresh, but not in wide abundance. Certain common items, like walnuts, go missing for long periods of time, and other items become seasonable and their shelf space is unreliable. So while it's still good, there is now wade through the weeds of products that are edge-case. Hail Mary Marketing attempts. I bristle.
