    Red bean and sago dessert!
    Lisa Z.

    Super cute supermarket with some great niche finds for Taiwanese desserts and fresh daily lunches! I got the red bean and sago dessert and the nice lady at the checkout recommended I pick up some taro balls to go with them. Now this dessert is a must-grab if you go! Otherwise their groceries are decently priced (similar to Saraga) but I do like their selection of snacks and other misc. frozen foods more!

    Unique snack choices which is saying something for an Asian market

    Much more reasonable prices although less selection than Tensuke. Very friendly two male staff who checked me out and bagged my groceries. Good produce selection and a lot of frozen goods and meats too. Nice snack selection in middle and off side of store extensive noodle and sauce choices which are all very reasonably priced as well.

    I've been coming to this Mom & Pop (grandma in the back?) store for over 10 years. I have always been able to find what I wanted and at a good price. I've bought fresh herbs, refrigerated noodles, different spices , Chinese sweet potatoes and eggplant here. I even bought my wok here, which I love btw. The point is, you will be surprised what you can find at this "oriental" store. If you dont find it, ask the helpful folks because you may have overlooked it, they may recommend a substitute or they may order it for you. Interesting mix of Asian fare. Definitely come here first before going to a chain grocery store if you are cooking up Asian food. Much cheaper. Also, would recommend coming here to buy cilantro, ginger, green onions, etc. because their prices cant be beat if you live in the neighborhood. Apparently there is a new owner, although the Taiwanese gentleman is still working there. With new management, things seem more organized and fresher. Looks a lot brighter with the plants in the window. They also get you with the sweets located right as you walk in. That reminds me, they also have soya bean popsicles. Lickity, lickity.

    I like these Asian markets like Yao Lee. It's much funner than going to international aisles in Kroger or whatever corporate behemoth. The store is small and cozy. It represents a few areas of Asia. This is fairly priced compared to supermarkets. I go here for the hard to find items. It has several Asian regions including Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Japanese, and Korean. There are endless amounts of hot sauces other than sriracha. It not only has lots of condiments and food, but some Asian cookware as well. The lady at the counter was pleasant and willing to help you find anything. I would recommend Yao Lee to anyone who likes Asian markets. It's small which makes it easier to get around the whole store and look over everything. This is much better than the big chains and it's good to support local businesses like this.

    A good selection for a small grocery. It's not really for produce, so don't come expecting that, (though they do have Thai basil and bean sprouts and sometimes Chinese eggplant). It's best for sauces/spices and ingredients you can't find at Kroger. I came looking for sweet potato starch, and they had it, along with half a dozen other varieties. Sometimes imports can get expensive, but everything here is very reasonable, even cheap. For the most part its the same or better prices then Saraga. And the employees are really nice and helpful.

    So we were here for a yelp event at Winston's and get there early and decided to walk around and…read moreI'm so glad we did! Now as this was our first time here and we was so taken back by the throw back feel of the place! It gave me small town vibes! I instantly missed home walking into this grocery store! EVERYTHING WAS CLEAN AND NEAT! nothing was picked over and smelled so fresh! Until u got to the meat section then the seafood section was over whelming! But there is a spirits section and a local pop section and then local bakery! We seen the deli section and tried EVERYTHING! we took home so potato salad and the broccoli salad stuff can't remember what it was but it's good! lol They had a lot of prepared foods to but a bit over priced but available! Cute store! Only 5 lanes and 2 lanes open! They did take apple and Samsung pay! The cashiers don't really talk and the workers in the back were really nice and answered all of outlet questions! And loved their wine section! Also u can get balsamic vinegar fresh! Love that!

    Updated review - again no Tuna - per a worker - they ONLY get TUNA on Thursday's and don't even…read morethink about stocking it except for Thursday because otherwise it rots,,,? But - It's Tuesday so... Maybe lower your super-high prices (Like $35+ per pound) for Tuna. Maybe you will sell more and actually have some in-stock in case one of your customers want some. I think a "Gourmet Super Market" should stock some gourmet fish - Like TUNA :-) I can buy Salmon anywhere less expensively. I don't know why I keep going back - I guess it's the thrill of the chase now. Edit: I just saw Dan's response. Oh well Dan - losing stock is a cost of doing business and you can write it off - Meanwhile - I'll find somewhere else to shop. I never had this problem - EVER - before you remodeled the store and moved the fish counter to the back near the meat. YUCK

    Nice old school butcher. Loads of different meats available, from them, and from Packo's, Falter's,…read moreetc. A few prepared items. Cold cases with Der Dutchman pies, packaged meats, snacks, etc. Amish jams and jellies and pastries. One stop shopping for some people, like me. I got a bulk pack of brats, some big premade burgers, and scrapple! Haven't seen that for years. If it's not raining this weekend, I will be grilling. And I will be having scrapple for breakfast at some point. Service was super friendly and fast. The wait was short, midday and midweek. Prices are very reasonable. Pretty easy access, although both the street and the lot can get busy. Mosley's left, Thurn's left, so this is one of the few remaining real butchers in the area.

    We were long-time Thurman's Fine Meats customers until they closed in May. We began our search for…read morea new butcher shop and were concerned that we might not find a place like the one we had lost. Then we found Schuman's Meats. When you arrive at Schuman's and enter through the front door, you'll notice a red number dispenser to your right. Take a number to determine your place in line. Once your number is called, you'll be quickly helped. This system ensures a fair and efficient service for all customers. At Schuman's, you can be sure that your meat and side needs for any meal, big or small, will be met. The butchers are not just knowledgeable, they are also incredibly customer-centered. We bought pork chops and were asked if the thickness was to our liking; if not, they were willing to cut what we wanted. Their helpfulness and support make me feel appreciated and confident in my choices. Schumans has an extensive selection of beef and pork products, and a delightful delicatessen with a variety of cold cuts and cheeses. While Schumuns does not make its own sausage like Thurns, it does carry a wide selection of Falter's products and Tony Packo's. At Schumun's, you can find more than just meat and deli products. They also stock staples like milk, bread, eggs, a wide variety of condiments, rubs, Tony Packo's pickles, and local butter by the log. This convenience adds to the overall satisfaction of shopping at Schumun's. We miss Thurns but are thrilled with Schumun's Meat. Give them a try.
