Ah, so the only review for this place here at this time is one-star, which doesnt make sense to me, which is why Im writing this. Yes, I give it five stars, I love it. Ive been shopping here for years. The place is the size of a large-ish neighborhood market, no frills. Its sort of a produce market right up front, then a refrigerated section running up the right side, a frozen section running up the left side, and most of the middle is taken up by grocery aisles, with everything from crockery/utensils to noodles galore to sauces/condiments to canned stuff, snacks etc etc. Roughly a quarter of the store in the back is a seafood/meat section with a fishmongers/butchers deal in the very back. I go here in part for the pretty good selection of fresh veggies typical of Asian cuisines. They have a nice selection of mushrooms, some of which are difficult to find at other places, fresh at least, like bunashimeji and trumpet. I like the pricing: fresh shiitake (nice ones, with split tops) are $5.99/lb, which is like a third of what they sell for at Whole Foods. They also always have fresh galangal! Basically their not-so-huge produce section is dense, there is lots of stuff, and the goods have always been in good condition, which is not true of all Asian stores. Theres a wide variety of sauces and condiments, I especially like their curry paste selection; there are plenty of vegan ones (e.g. no shrimp paste - they dont say "vegan" but they are per the ingredient list). The back quarter is a combo of frozen seafood and meat etc. in a couple of rows of open chest freezers, and, in the very back, fresh/refrigerated seafood/meat and some live seafood, with a service counter. Its a kind of place where you can get a pigs head or a prepackaged pound or two of actual duck heads or a quart of pigs blood. Not my thing, since Im eating plant-based only, but if youre an omnivore and adventurous then you might have fun here. Note: the store has always been in good condition, but, because of the back section, it often smells like a fishmongers. Doesnt bother me at all, just a word of warning if thats a red flag for you, some folks cant stand it. I go there regularly for some fresh produce thats just better and cheaper than elsewhere (when it can be found elsewhere), and also Asian pantry essentials. Theres always been traffic. Thats my two cents.

Bad smell. Poor ventilation. The Viet Hoa in Indianapolis is much better that carries fresher selection at more reasonable price/portion. Wont honor the posted price even if its their fault -such a typical old Chinese way but its against the law in the states. The owner shouldve have known, even if a few bucks!

Great Selection, Great Prices This is my go-to for Asian groceries. They have a wide selection of difficult to find stock and the pricing beats every other metro area Asian market Ive visited.

Not that good as the one in Indianapolis where I used to live by but is doable. Vegetables are pricier and less fresher.
