Finally found an Asian grocery store in Fort Collins! They were getting to reload supplies so the shelves down a bit but wow what a selection. I am just starting to cook plant-based I need need some really great Asian spices condiments, noodles pretty much everything they had in the store. Very clean and friendly. I will be returning! What a find.

This store is tiny but mighty! We came looking for one specific ingredient (golden mountain sauce) and left with 5-6 items for under $10. Love it! We will be back for our Asian cooking needs.

I love this place! I spent time in Japan and the Philippines as a child and learned to cook Japanese and Filipino food. As an adult, I have embraced Thai and Vietnamese cooking. I find everything I need at Little Asia Grocery. No need to drive to Denver!

Still love this place! Yes there shelves are bare and have been, but they still have ingredients I love to cook with! Talked to the owner the other day and she informed me they are working on getting a loan and restocking the store. I love her vision, and can’t wait to see it all come to life.

Ive been shopping here for years...first when it was Bangkok Asian Market, to now. The downhill decline is terrible and its a shame that the availability of products has deteriorated so. You cant even get good rice here anymore let alone Asian produce. Shelves are left mostly empty and every time I go in, I wonder how they can 1. stay in business, and 2. call themselves an Asian market when most of their products are not there. I wont bother going back and will drive down to Denver to H-Mart once a month to get what I need. I love to support small, independently owned businesses, but this one will not be getting my support anymore.

The original owners had a fantastic supply of Asian foods to chose from (10 years ago). For the last 5-6 months I’ve gone in for very simple products and they don’t even have them. The shelves are almost bare. I wouldnt be surprised if this business goes under very soon unless the owner increases their supply for demand. What a bummer! Don’t waste your time because they won’t have what you need!

Love this store! I have family members who have lived abroad in Asia so authentic Asian cuisine has always been a staple in our house, my family has gone here ever since we came to Colorado and theyre always great and fairly priced! A few times weve had issues finding what were looking for, but rarely. (Namely soy sushi wrappers, which admittedly I dont know anyone who sells them in the first place and most of the people in my family just use nori we get here just fine!) Very friendly and helpful staff as well. :)

Absolutely depressing. This was a fair general Asian goods store, but now that they are dependent on out-of-state distributors, it has been slowly disintegrating into a store that has hardly any items I need or want. The employees know next to nothing when questioned about products, and every time I have been in during the last year, essential ingredients/condiments/products are not there. I have walked up at least twice, during the posted open hours, and it has been closed, with no sign, note, or explanation. I tried calling the store the second time it happened, and no information was forthcoming there, either. I will be heading to the Asian stores in Greeley or Broomfield in future.

This place has had less and less inventory every time Ive visited recently. Today the shelves were basically empty, and the cashier had no clue how to handle the gift certificate I had. I really like this place and want to support it, but its hard when theres not much there to buy.

I used to like this store quite a bit, but I have been quite disappointed the last few times I’ve been in. The shelves are bare and they are lacking essentials. What once was a hidden gem in Fort Collins is sadly a huge disappointment these days. Recently, I went in with a list of five items and they didn’t have a single one. In addition, the past two times I’ve been in, I’ve been told to come back several days (or weeks!) later for the next shipment to arrive. I suspect it’s under (relatively) new ownership. Given the rate of failure I have finding ingredients that used to be easy to find and always in stock, I’m going to stop trying and will instead look elsewhere for an Asian food store with a more reliable supply chain.

Review №11

The employee working there was very friendly and helpful. The store has limited inventory, however, still very nice. They were out of mochi when we went there which was a bit disappointing. That being said we will still go back as they carry other good items.

Review №13

The store is nicer than ever! I love all the different choices of ramen, veggies, and sauces I can get here, and the staff is really nice. Definitely recommend. Plus I was talking to the owners and they are making many changes to come. I can’t wait to see where it goes. Great customer service, yummy food, good selection of spices and sauces, fresh veggies, and a cute little store.

Review №14

This place use to be one of my favorites stores, but it has been ruined under the new ownership. The shelves are always bare, and they seem incapable of providing even the most basic of ingredients (seriously, no Ramen?). Its unfortunate because I no longer have a place to purchase fresh lemongrass or lime leaves, which means Im unable to cook some of my favorite Thai dishes. I feel like the new owners are single-handedly responsible for destroying one of the best independent stores in town. Its such a shame!

We have shopped at this store for years through various owners. The current owners are our faves ! We love the fresh produce - each week we purchase these regulars: oyster mushrooms, chives, Thai basil, bok choy, radishes, bean sprouts and more ! There are so many more things we want to try. In addition, they have a well stocked inventory of shelf items for your Asian cooking such as rice, soy sauce, rice vinegar - too many to mention. And tons of Asian snacks. The owners are very motivated and friendly - we love to shop there !!

Their Mochi ice cream is so good!! It’s the only place I found that has it. I wish they had a bigger variety of flavors though. But still the best!

Well Im here at 1:10 pm on a Saturday, sign says they are open 10:30am-7:30pm and they are closed. Lately they dont have things in stock I need and the cashier can never figure out how to use the register. Wish there were more options in foco.

Came here for ramen. Maybe I came after a busy week but there is barely anything in the shelves. I would definitely come back if there was something to buy.

Review №20

I have no idea what happened here, but their stock is abysmal now. I used to walk in with no intent of buying anything, but would walk out with at least three items. Now I come in with one thing in mind, and walk out empty handed.

Went in yesterday they had a great selection of vegetables. Friendly staff. Not much of a selection however I was talking to the new owners and they are looking to increase the variety. Im looking forward to seeing the improvements to come.

Review №23

Love this place, the angsty white dude that works there some days can be a damper but otherwise a nice place to get all my fancy spices, SHORT GRAIN RICE, sushi rice, etc. Super convenient location too, right next to bus stop and always plenty of parking.

Wi
Review №24

Decent selection of products but almost no prices on anything. Have to ask the cashier for prices if you want to know and then the receipt isn’t itemized. So you have no idea what anything costs and walk out feeling ripped off.

Not a bad place, but needs more diversity in inventory. Good friendly service. Will shop here again.

Review №26

I agree wholeheartedly with the recent reviews...I have been there several times and its hit and miss if they will even be open or not even during their open hours...with no sign to say they will be back or nothing!...very poor selection, getting worse all the time..I really want them to do good and wish them the best however they need to try harder in terms of the things they can help.

Review №27

There’s literally next to nothing in this store. All of the shelves were mostly bare. The young man with the broken leg, was polite but, he knows nothing about the few products this store carries. Parking was super challenging. Just save some time and hassle and go some place else.

Review №28

Lots of options, helpful cashier. Tons of inventory, which is nice, never walk out empty handed. Fresh veggies, mochi, seafood, frozen options. They even have a small selection of kitchen implements.

As someone who grew up in Hong Kong, I can tell you this place is great! They have stuff I havent seen in any other Chinese markets in the States besides China Town in SF. REALLY happy this place exists in Fort Collins!

Review №33

At a small grocers like this one, its non unusual for there to be handwritten price tags. However, when I took something up to the front which was clearly marked $2.49 in large black letters the clerk told me he couldnt ring it up if there was no bar-code to scan. He ended up having to go get his boss to enter in a price manually. That happens at big stores, but is strange for a small shop. Also, they have several freezers, but dont stock them. A couple of them almost empty, and for what was there, no two items were alike. You want two of the same thing? Oh well, they only have 4 or 5 one-of-a-kinds at the bottom of a nearly empty freezer.

Review №34

It always has what I want and when you ask the people working there they are very helpful. Lots of fresh noodles, veggies, wonton wrappers. They also have a selection of frozen items such as fish balls and various protein. I come here for authentic oyster sauce and wasabi power which Kind Soopers does not carry any more.

Review №35

Lots of empty shelves, don’t even have staples other than products you can buy at any grocery store. Would expect them to have things like mirin, miso, and ramen noodles... but nope. I hope they can turn this store around

I loved that I finally found one closest to my home but they didnt have enough like the other places in used to. Although they are nice.

Review №37

Not a huge selection, but they do have some of the harder to come by ingredients when you are in a pinch or feeling for something specific. One of the only places to get fresh lemon grass and lime leaves in FoCo. Worth the trip.

Limited selection and high prices. Couldnt even figure out how much any of the produce cost. Theyve got the (very) basics, though, if you just really need some soy sauce or coconut milk.

Review №44

Best Asian market in FOCO (new address 1107 W Drake Rd near battery store). No longer need to travel all the way to Pacific Ocean Mkt in Bloomfield or Denver. They are small but have all the dry and canned goods I (being Asian) need. They would rate 5 stars if they had fresh produce.

Review №45

Fort Collins does not have a good selection of asian markets. There were more, but one is now a tattoo parlor, and while two are in gas stations, one has recently closed down. This is the only dedicated market in town. Anything you can find at a grocery store, you can get it here slightly cheaper, and I always do. Its got its quirks, but every time Ive had a question somebody has answered it. Is it the best asian market Ive ever been to? Not necessarily, but is it the best in town? I think so.
