“ I came here looking for kafir lime leaves and left with a full Thai pantry! I finally have everything I need to make my own papaya salad and homemade panang curry paste. Dried and frozen fresh chilis, chinese broccoli, galangal, kafir lime leaves, dried shrimp, green papayas, tamarind paste, chili paste, nam pla, shrimp paste, and every kind of mung bean glass noodle, rice stick and everything in between. The staff was super friendly and helpful, told me they receive their fresh produce every morning at 10am and that I should call if I was every looking for anything specific. They were sold out of lemongrass late in the afternoon. Ill definitely be back! ”
“ I love this place. Great selection. Excellent prices on produce. Locally grown and delivered daily. I got some beautiful lettuce today and ingredients for a green curry lunch. I can find stuff here that I cant find anywhere else. ”
“ Great service. Good prices. Limited variety of items maybe because of the size of a store required to carry Filipino products and other nations products. For example, I was not able to find brown, mascobado, or powdered sugar. I really did not see any dairy products but I wasnt shopping for any. ”
“ Good products, good prices. Under construction for 2 years will likely finish in 6 more with that pace ... ”
“ They have all of Asian ingredients. They also have ready to eat food as well ”
“ Ive been shopping here for few years now for their fresh produce. Staff are very friendly. Produce are super fresh. Although, avoid shopping late in the afternoon or most of the good ones are gone by then. Most of the veggies, Im not familiar with, but having fun trying some of them. Still hoping theyll have fresh jicama again smaller, juicier, and crunchier. Some of their veggies and hebs come with roots intact so I cut the basil about 6 to 8 inches from the roots and replanted the bottom half. See photo of replanted basil, 2 big pots in the back. I think they are looking good after few months of replanting. Hopefully, they survive the winter and rainy season in Sac. Cant find the other photos taken from the store but will try to add next time I visit the market. ”
“ My family and I love coming to this little market for fresh produce available early in the mornings. Local farmers supply these produce and its all fresh and well priced. The prices have gone up since the past year, but its still worth it. They also have other Asian groceries available which is fun to look at. The owner is really friendly too! ”
“ Organic produce and great prices. Locally grown and very very fresh. Norwood Ave. ”
