Today's grocery stores are finding more creative ways to try and attract shoppers, Giant Eagle…read morefeaturing the Green Market District is no different and this is good news! Not really on board? Well try this on for size. Starbucks? It's in here. Fresh stone hearth baked pizzas? It's in here. In store cafe that sells wine by the glass and more micro brews than you can shake a stick at...it's in here, Sizzling Wok Stir Fry station with bar seating and a Sushi Station? Yup, in here too! There's also a great salad bar, hot bar, antipasti bar, fresh made hot and cold subs and much more.
Back in the day you'd go to a grocery store and....yeah...just buy groceries! Crazy right? How times have changed, and for the better! So why do I come here? The Pad Thai from the Sizzling Wok Chinese and Thai Cuisine is kinda amazing! I make a point to try and stop in once a week if I can. Not a Pad Thai guy(or gal)? Well there's plenty of other choices on the menu such as Kung Pao Shrimp, Mongolian Beef, Thai Basil Chicken and much much more. For you vegetarians out there, there's also a nice selection of all veggie dishes. Almost everything on the menu is under $10 and if you can get there between 11-3 the lunch specials are even cheaper.
The cooks are always very pleasant and I can't recall ever having anything but a satisfying experience here. There is a sushi bar on the other side of the Wok with plenty of pre-made sushi if you're on the go. If you're looking to dine in, sushi is made to order as well, with some seating at the bar. Attention! to all you self proclaimed sushi snobs! This isn't Sushi 86 or Ginko or Parallax....this is a grocery store so let's be realistic with the expectations. That being said the market is a great place and the Sizzling Wok Chinese and Thai Cuisine keeps me coming back weekly. Cheers!
