I…read morevisited this place as a black male for the first time and had the displeasure of dealing with 2 highly condescending women (one named Artimis) who approached me while I was quietly browsing and attempted to rush me out of the store within only a few minutes of being there. They then proceeded to be welcoming towards a white man who came in shortly after me. Every word out of her mouth was laced with passive aggression. It's honestly embarrassing that these people claim to be healers with such deeply discriminatory and disrespectful demeanors. Herbalism and spirituality is merely an aesthetic for them with none of the values that follow. Spiritual narcissists at best. If you enjoy your tea with an egregious side of pretension and want to walk out of there feeling like crap, this is the place for you. If not, I highly suggest going somewhere else. Don't be fooled by their bandaid responses to other instances like this and the one they will probably write to this one to keep their pockets lined $$$. They don't care, hence why this has occurred on multiple occasions. No amount of sage can cleanse this place. Not typically one to leave reviews, whether good or bad, but this experience was shocking. POC beware.

We can all agree that New Seasons has gorgeous produce, high quality fish and meat, an extensive…read morecheese counter, tasty prepared foods, grab-and-go, flowers, to die for fresh baked Belgium chocolate chip cookies, and well stocked pantry items, snacks and candy. And yes, you pay for the quality. But did you know they also have awesome sales? I mean really incredible 50% off sales on highly desirable items! I'm on the mailing list for their weekly ads and when items I love - but don't buy often because of the price - go on sale for 50% off, I stock up. For example, this week all nutritional and protein bars are 50% off. That is a stellar sale since we all know that protein bars are at a premium everywhere. Their sale includes single bars - a great way to try first to see if you like the taste and texture - and on boxes. I'm a huge fan of RX Bars that have just three ingredients, getting their protein from egg whites and sometimes nuts. Typically $12.40 for a box of 5, the on sale price of $6.19 is a steal and a reason to buy several. Throughout the year they have 50% of Rao sauces, the best jar sauce in the market. Also sales on vitamins and lotions. Oh, and around February, 50% off chocolates including the high end brands. So while I shop there regularly for the high quality fish, meat and vibrant produce, I will make a special trip to stock up on my favorite items when the price is slashed in half.

Love that Hot bar Japchae noodles. I found out New…read moreSeasons was bought out by a Korean Grocery chain, so this makes sense why they brought in some of their new items in the hot plate and make your own bowel section of Asian dishes. Those Noodles and how they make them there are TOP NOTCH! I LOVE THEM! I mean I could marry them they are so good! There are so many pluses here and glad to have this in Concordia. The store has many great deals and good sales on things, but I have to urge you thats its a good idea to not sit in the eatery area that they just remodeled to make more open. The coffee stand there does okay, but is fantastic when this tall guy is there with a beard. But I have not seen him in a while. So the coffee drinks are okay, and vary from day to day. The Brewed coffee is good however. There is one thing I despise about this location, and its the amount of "extra Helpers" that seem to be right there waiting for you as you walk in. The Tamale lady outside is fine. What I find very uncomfortable is all the people that go there to bum money or always seem to want to ask you a question. The worst part? Some of them come into the area that use to be amazing to sit there, and honest to Abe, they smell worse then walking by the dumpsters. It's got better over the last year, but I noticed a real weird vibe today as I walked in and the large man who looks like a greeter seems to be blocking the entrance way into the store. It's starting to feel like Walmart or Fred Meyers where they have gates to go in and out of the store. Friendly? , I don't think so captain. Stark change from before, but it seems like this is needed more and more today as stores have to beef up security. I understand that there is not much New Season can do about this thanks to local politics in the area, but I WISH this was not the case as I use to enjoy going there for breakfast and coffee. Hopefully, things gets better in 2025.

This location is…read morea little smaller than others I've been too but still has solid food choices and both the spicy corn and quinoa salad and Asian chicken meatballs were really good and filling. The quinoa salad was fresh but I was a bit disappointed in the lack of flavor. I personally wouldn't advertise it as "spicy". While yes, the last few ingredients are cayenne pepper, chili powder, and cumin, I could barely taste it. It still tasted great, just not as flavorful as I was expecting! The Asian chicken meatballs were fantastic. I think I've always had a good experience buying those regardless of the location and I really love them. Four meatballs and a pint of the quinoa salad came to about 15 bucks but I think it was worth it. Overall a tasty and filling lunch.

Our seating was next to a bear and heart balloon as it was close to Valentine's Day. The Food: Tom Kha Noodle Soup - I thought this dish was missing some elements of Tom Ka when tasting it by itself. Added some of hot sauces that came on the side and I thought those really brought out the flavor. My favorite was the pickled peppers that gave the dish some acidity and heat. These were ok, but not my favorite - Rainbow Flight Milk Tea Flight - I liked the Thai Iced Tea and the Thai Iced Coffee. Wasn't a big fan of Sala Milk as it was too floral for me Somtum Plarah - Lao-Style Papaya Salad - the fermented crab was actually quite good, umami and a little sweet. I love me some fish sauce, but it was very heavy handed. The rest of the dish was too salty and fishy. Overall, it wasn't my favorite meal, but the menu is so diverse and extensive, I want to come back and try some of the other dishes

I'll start by saying this place is definitely not big so come with the expectation that you might have to wait for a table. There's only about 8-10 tables in the place and it's definitely geared towards smaller groups. Regardless we ordered at the front and then were able to find a seat. Wound up ordering the combo to try and get a taste of everything. The portions were solid and everything was super tasty. The chicken is perfectly breaded and delicious. It's a bit of a messy meal so just come with that in mind. Have a bunch of different options that also looked tasty. Will have to come back and try again. Service was fine. They were kind and cleared the table. Water is self serve at front of the restaurant and they clearly do a fair amount of takeout. Cool local spot to definitely check out.
