    the front of a restaurant
    Troy P.

    This location just opened in May 2014 and is one of the larger Von Hanson's I have been to. I love their stuffed Jalapenos and Beef Jerky, although they aren't cheap they are always good. I always enjoy the different kabobs they have too, be careful though, it's easy to over cook them. One of the guys working the counter suggested the Chicken Brat last time I was there, I was a little hesitant at first but it was awesome! Although Von Hanson is a little spendy the quality is always pretty good. I choose different places to get meat depending on what I want but with this one being right outside of my gym it's just too convenient not to return.

    Great experience ! I was buying beef ribs for Father's Day and needed some help since they cannot be found at a regular grocer. There was a lot of staff ready to help and all very friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the person that helped me but he showed me every cut of meat that I was purchasing and butchered it to my liking with great suggestions. I will be back for sure! Quality meats and great service. Worth the $. After a little research I found out that the chicken they sell is the same as the organic free range chicken provider that is sold at Valley Natural co-op in Burnsville; my favorite place for organic groceries.

    I just used some of their hamburger buns for the first time. They are the best buns I've ever had. One of the ingredients was lard!

    This small grocery store off of Highway 494 offers a variety of Southeast Asian herbs, vegetables,…read morecondiments, spices, and snacks. While I wouldn't consider it a destination, my ma and I found things there that stores don't have sometimes. Examples include the following: - Banana flowers and rau ti, for pho bun bo hue. - Thai basil and culantro, for pho. - Non-MSG, mushroom seasoning, for all cooking. They also have banh mi, sesame balls, and other goodies, but they don't make them fresh. (They're imported from somewhere else.) Again, I wouldn't go out of my way to buy the things I need there, but it's a decent alternative. They also sell those Asian blankets, too! (The ones with the enormous animals on them. lol.)

    I'm writing this mostly in the context of comparing an asian market to the majority of other ethnic…read moremarkets because, let's be frank, most of them are already working with meager funds to begin with and have generously low prices. I've been shopping at Asian Direct since 2006, when I first discovered it. I started going there for the lower prices on fresh young thai coconuts. This is the same brand that a number of the co-ops and other grocery stores carry, but for nearly half less. I also come here when I'm in the mood to discover a new ingredient (which could very well last me a lifetime). Their produce is, like most ethnic stores, are either very fresh or very rank. But the delight is all mine when I hit the right day. Next to their produce, they have a refrigerated "odd bits" case. There's cubed pork blood, beef tripe (stomach), half dead shrimp. duck eggs, quail eggs. You know, the usual. They offer a variety of seasonal fruits that I don't see anywhere else (helloooo...DURIAN?! The most stinky-delicious fruit your tastebuds and nose will never forget, the durian costs around $2.50/lb and are on avg 10#, so make sure to invest with a group of people, because that's a WHOLE LOTTA' stink you're going to have to dispose of if you don't like it after your first bite. They've also carried fresh mangosteen here a couple of times when in season (& last I checked, it's one imported fruit that isn't allowed fresh in our country; I guess they've got the hook-ups ;-). The main gal who works here has always been nice, but otherwise, everyone else is either very quiet or they respond with smiles. I know that there's a bit of a language barrier since most of them struggle for words when I ask questions about various things, so we all do what we can to get by. I wouldn't recommend their meat counter AT ALL though, since most everything looks like it's been dry-cured from sitting out for so long. I've asked them what farm they get their hogs from and no one seems to know which is a source of concern, considering how small their store is. Next to their meat counter is a live tilapia tank. Fun to tap on the tank window and stare at the fish until you realize why they're in the store. If there's anywhere in this store that I get a kick out of, it's their freezer case. A variety of familiar and not-so familiar, including a "what-the?" category. There is a number of different kinds of frozen fish, frog legs (wow), shredded young coconut meat, AND...get this, some type of grub/beetle...and so much more! I respect any business that chooses to set a certain $ amount before taking a credit card. While it can be inconvenient for the customer, I just remind myself that their prices are already low, that they don't need to lose a % on small purchases to a credit card, and that I'm still a fan of not living in a cashless society. ***UPDATE 6/15/15: If you buy too many coconuts, they WILL raise the price ;-) For the past 3 weeks I've been going in 2x/weekly and noticed the price went up .30 per coconut. I'm okay with that since it's still a lower cost than other locations BUT, when the checkout gal mentioned that the price went up and appeared to be gauging me for how I would react if the price went up further, I let her know that I only have season cravings and that they may or may not be seeing me in the near future :-)
