I was excited to visit this grocery for the first time to prepare for a night of shabu shabu/hot pot with house guests because I had heard good things about this grocery. I bought several packages of raw meat for the evening. I was initially satisfied with my trip because the grocery seemed relatively clean and organized. However, I was incredibly disgusted when I unwrapped the meat at home. Although the top layer of the meat was a perfect red color, the layers underneath were really dark and smelled off. This was the case in multiple packets of meat I bought. I have never seen such poor quality meat packaged for shabu shabu! Even more frustrating was the response I got from the manager when I called about the meat. I asked if I could email pictures or text pictures of the meat with the Pacific label still clearly on the package, along with my receipt rather than driving all the way back to the store to get a refund, but she said I would have to come in...even after I explained just how inconvenient this would be. Not only did I have to figure out what to do now for my dinner guests who would be arriving soon, I explained that its a good 30 minute drive each way. Not only would I have to spend an extra hour just driving to show her the meat and discuss whether I could get a refund, I already had to make another trip (40 minutes each way just for the drive) to go to another Asian grocery to get the beef I needed for my dinner party. I also have to wonder about the packaging itself and whether they knew the meat wasnt as fresh as it should be. In all my years of buying shabu shabu meat, Ive never seen it packaged in that way where all the layers are layered on top of each other; usually the meat is spread out so you can see the quality of all the meat. It does seem a bit odd that the top layer was pristine while layers below were so disgusting (I wish I could post a picture on this site to show just how bad it was!) Needless to say, I wont be going back to this grocery.

Most of the foods are vientamese, chinese.. I dont like their foods so I rather go to HMart for my Korean sweets and juices. Overall did not find what I usually look for in such places (house stuff, sweets, juices + poor choice of instant noodles) Why do I put 2 stars?! Cause of the fish quality and how the fish/crabs are treated here. Crabs are left to dry out on the tray, fish tanks are dirty, have noticed sick fish (they have white spots on eyes). So I really dont think its a good idea to purchase meats and seafood here, dont think its even near being fresh. And live creatures are being kept poorly. Many items re not price labelled!

Great place to shop. Some of my favorites... - Flat rice noodles and other ingredients for Pad See Yew - Longan, rambutan, and other fruits I used to love eating in Southeast Asia when I lived there (the mangosteen was expensive and inedible when I got it but maybe that was a fluke) - Shaved ribeye that is great for Thai curries or a proper Philly cheese steak - Enormous selection of frozen dumplings - Great fresh baked baguettes - Birds eye chilis The prices are cheap and you can probably find whatever youre looking for here. The selection is huge.

Dont come here and expecting friendly service, and youll be much happier. Pacific has a great selection of asian produce, sauces, noodles and frozen food. They focus more on Chinese, Thai, and Viet foods than Korean, so things like Tdeokkbokki would be better found at H-Mart. Their bakery and prepared foods are usually great, too (eastern desserts are usually much less sweet, and more tart, than western desserts.

I visit POM regularly. They have a wonderful selection of exotic produce, and even some less exotic produce that is just silly expensive at other grocers, but extremely reasonable here! Love all the delicious sauces, spices, and other Asian foods you can buy here, they have a wonderful selection. They also have a section with a beautiful selection of table ware and other household items.

A great place to pick up Asian food supplies. Fish, seafood, meat for your favorite dish. The market also sells roast pork, car six, roast duck. The place has a bakery and makes fresh tofu also. I was impressed by the Cleanliness and selection of furniture and household goods and appliances. I cant wait until they open in Aurora.

Yes I enjoy items here, but the customer service is horrible. They only cater to the Asians who come in there. Dont be rude because my dollars are just as good as anyone else who comes in to shop and should be treated as such. But I have never been to a place where no one wants to assist, and get pissed off when you ask for help

One of the bigger Asian super market in town with good selections. Still have items that do not have price labelled but better than most Asian stores. Many experienced cashiers at the registers to make the check out experience pleasant.

Tried to return a faulty product. Was told the product, which we obviously used, had to be cleaned so they could resell it. When I advised I wouldnt sell it again as its faulty I was told to shut up and the manager walked away.

More organization at this location than their other ones. I wouldnt say produce is super fresh because I saw some stuff that was on its last leg and they were still trying to sell it. Prices are decent and pretty good selections.

40 varieties of rice and they are all pesticide or phytate laden filth. The chinese have subsisted for thousands of years on quality, organic white rice. This place is selling snake oil.

Went here today after having dim sum at Super Star. Great Asian market! Lots of different products that are fresh, frozen, canned and other household products as well. Awesome!

My only complaint is there is not enough organic options- but they offer just about everything i need in order to cook authentic asian food. i highly recommend this place.

Best Asian supermarket Ive been to in Denver. Great selection of everything. Cheap greens, veges, fresh noodles, and tons of meats/seafood and packaged products.

Kevin Wheat

Great selection of Asian fruit, vegetables, and seafood. Looking forward to returning and continuing to purchase many of my Filipino favorites from here.

Gary Funk

Probably the single biggest Asian market in Denver. The staff is friendly and helpful. You will many items here that are hard to find.

Only place in Denver for the Bonito flakes my cat is addicted to. Same stuff as the overpriced "cat man doo" version at pet stores.

Stephen Parce

Go check out the variety of products that you can add to your recipes. A fun adventure in visiting and walking through the aisles.

BoOM! Excellent Asian grocery. Wish there was more Japanese fare, but overall great selection, very clean, and high quality.
