It does not in any way reflect negatively on the store in general. To be honest, they have some of the freshest produce and seafood in the area. The udon noodles I get for my pho are amazing. They have an endless selection of Asian food items and I enjoy perusing the aisles in search of my next big discovery! The staff are pleasant and service at the meat and seafood counter is good. The value for me is good and they have weekly sale items as well. All in all, a great market to pick up fresh produce, seafood, and udon noodles!

I don't know why I haven't reviewed Potung sooner. I go here after work for groceries at least once…read morea week and have since I moved to Baltimore. I've gone to Streets down on Charles, Eddie's up on Eager, and Lexington Market. Potung is the BEST place to go if you want a thorough selection of fresh vegetables. You won't be able to get more specialty vegetables like fennel or dandelion greens (for those you'd have to go to Harris Teeter or the like), but MANY staple items like onions, potatoes, eggs, milk, bread, etc. etc. are all here. I do have to note that sometimes they don't have milk in stock, but I guess it depends on the day. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Potung gives a 10% student discount on a number of items. In terms of the area Potung is located, as true as it is elsewhere in Baltimore, be vigilant and you should be fine. A lot of the individuals you see hanging around nearby are people who live on that block, so I've never felt particularly sketched out. (Mentioning this because of another review.)

2 Stars = RUDE PERSONNEL! Although I have purchased decent seafood here, I realized after recent…read moreinteractions with staff here that several of the Seafood counter Hispanic workers as well as the Asian personnel encountered (who staff the in-store front office) seem most rude when approached and when asked even the most basic of questions! In the past, I have merely selected my items and then proceeded to checkout, so I had no reason to approach behind-the-counter personnel . Today, however, we had questions concerning some fish we intended to purchase and also had to visit the front office. At the seafood counter, the Hispanic man behind the counter was dismissive and twice became snappy! When asked about the bass, he refused to communicate the info requested. Then at the office, the woman snatched the receipt from my daughter and was impolite. Thus, I will refrain from patronizing this market at which we received harsh tones and unnecessary abruptness while shopping and during the manager's processing of a refund for 2 packs of SPOILED, SMELLY "sushi-grade" SALMON that I was forced to return only hours after my purchase. Only when I had opened the packs of salmon did the smell became detectable! The clue should have been the fact that the expiration date was May 21, 2026 and my purchase date was May 20, 2026. Yes, I should've checked the dates before making the purchase, but seafood personnel should've removed the salmon, should have accurately dated it from the start, and should have appropriately monitored the seafood case items to protect public health. Talk about a most serious Food poisoning threat! Indeed!!! The Lotte Market EXCEPTION is the onsite MOOLKOGI Restaurant which consistently provides EXCELLENT FOOD, and A-One CUSTOMER SERVICE! Unlike Lotte, MOOLKOGI is owned and operated by a warmhearted, dedicated, very responsible, expert chef, and professional Asian businessman and gentleman whose dishes are exceptionally good, always fresh, and well priced! But LOTTE MARKET overall FAILS to meet the public expectation and apparently seems to be operated based on a mindset that providing polite and qualitative customer service is optional and unnecessary. How foolish! I will not condone such a mindset by continuing to be a patron of this market as I reject and resent its biased and exclusionary business practices.

This is one of my favorite Asian grocery stores. They're the only place I've found that sells an…read moreIndonesian hot sauce called ABC, so whenever I want it, I always have to travel to Catonsville. Their prices aren't the cheapest overall, but they're not expensive either. There are a lot of options for fresh produce, and my favorite thing to buy here is the halal meat and chicken. That said, the store could use some rearranging and a deeper cleaning. The vibe feels a little different compared to other Lotte Plazas, and it seems less clean than the one in Ellicott City. The staff are nice, but they could be a bit friendlier. On the plus side, there are plenty of parking spots available.

This is a pretty good equivalent, although the one thing that is missing is Chinese sausage, which I found surprising. Other than that, it's a really nice grocery store. At the time, whoever was controlling the music playlist apparently was in a rave mood because I listened to LMFAO and some other dance music from the 00s, so that was a lot of fun. Probably the largest fish section of any place I've visited in the city. And the meat section, other than the absence of Chinese sausage, was pretty large as well.

We were looking for thai bird's eye chili's, and haven't found a local Asian grocery since they tore down Golden Bridge (I miss that store so much) to put in yet another Wawa. So we decided to venture into new territory and visit an Indian grocer. The parking lot is a Rollercoaster. A maniac must have designed and graded it. The store is tightly packed. Product, crates, and bags of rice make narrow passageways impossible for wheelchairs. We found the chilis. Thank goodness Jeremy was with me, because I never could have gotten to the shelves myself and no one seemed interested in making sure I found what I needed. I would have liked to have explored the shelves more, but I felt uncomfortable in the store and couldn't wait to leave. The guy at the register did not speak to us. Didn't tell us the total for our purchases or thank us for shopping there. There was a cart blocking the exit, from the outside, so it was more difficult than necessary to leave. Guess we'll continue our mission to find a suitable Asian grocery, because I have no intention of returning.

It was love at first sight for me and this grocer…read more Jeremy and I had our very first date at an Indian restaurant. Neither of us had any idea what Indian food tasted like, but we have always been pretty adventurous, especially when it comes to food. That first date was all it took for us. We've been inseparable since that fateful evening. He's been on a kick where he's learning to make Chinese food at home, and was looking for thai bird chilis. However, it's about an hour drive to the closest Asian grocery now that they knocked down our beloved Golden Bridge. So I thought, hey, maybe we can find an Indian grocery because they are legit Asian, and even though the food seems very different than Chinese, they do use a lot of the same ingredients. Anyone who has accidentally ordered "indian spice" level hot when ordering Butter Chicken (for example) knows that they use some MAJOR peppers in their dishes. Plus, we drive passed this spot all the time, and I've been wanting to check it out for over a year. It's a mecca. It's HUGE, with decently wide aisles, and about a gazillion Indian products that I have never seen before, but NEED to explore. We got the peppers that we needed, and could not resist buying a pint of what seems to be rose-flavored ice cream (I haven't had a chance to taste it yet, but I looked up the name and discovered that there's an Indian dessert that features NOODLES, rose ice cream, basil... my brain is intrigued!) and dehydrated whole lemons (which apparently can be rehydrated, or grated as is, used in teas, and a bunch of other things). They also have a lovely selection of religious icons. I collect those, so I'm going to have to go back for a Ganesha (elephant-headed Hindu god of beginnings, who is traditionally worshipped before any major enterprise and is the patron of intellectuals, scribes, and authors. His name means both "Lord of the People" (gana means the common people) and "Lord of the Ganas" (Ganesha is the chief of the ganas, the goblin hosts of Shiva). Ganesha is potbellied and generally depicted as holding in his hand a few round Indian sweets, of which he is inordinately fond. Ganesha has the ability to overcome anything to get what he wants. Ganesha is a remover of obstacles.) Now Jeremy is thinking of expanding his cooking skills to include more Indian dishes. I can't wait until he masters a Korma! Totally recommend!
