One of my favorite 3/27/2006

I like to do my ethnic groceries here, because I could always find things that are hard to find in other stores here. Their pricing are slightly lower than other store in the area just by .10 but it'll add up if you buy a lot of stuff in your weekly groceries trip. My favorite from this store which I found hard to find in other store is their mung bean bahpia. They have their own parking lot, but in the weekend it is still sometimes hard to find parking. I believe if you shop here in the weekend you will get the freshest stuff. more

This is a nice little Vietnamese grocery store. The sign on the front says "Viet Hoa," so don't be confused if you're looking for it. It does have a small parking lot. Their dry good selection is good. Despite not having many commercial ramen noodles, they do have noodles of every kind in larger packages, mostly not in English. There is an entire aisle of canned goods, including some of the more exotic things you may be searching for in your cookbook recipes for Vietnamese and Thai foods - durian, pickled eggs, all sorts of odd things that might surprise you. The aisle of hot sauces is also a good bet. Yes, I said an entire aisle of hot sauces. The shining star here is the dead stuff. I say this because I can't always identify what everything is, and it changes daily. There are always lots of different kinds of fish on ice, chickens (whole), shrimp, and unidentifiable things. The best part is that none of it smells. There is no fishy smell, which tells me that everything is wonderfully fresh. If you're looking to grill some fish tonight, this is the place to pick it up at reasonable prices. Unfortunately, the main downside to this grocery is the lackluster frozen foods section. I like to be able to count on my Asian grocery store to have lots of frozen red bean buns, vegetable dumplings, and tofu. The variety here is pithy at best. Most of the frozen items are meat-based or seafood-based, most labels are not in English, and I can never find what I'm looking for before freezing to death in front of the doors. I bought some steam buns from there and they took more than 30 minutes to steam when I got home because they were so frozen solid. All in all, check it out for the dry goods and the meats/fish, but if you're looking for frozen foods, move along. more
