If you are an asian living in the area you must go even smells like you are in thailand. The good part where you smell the fresh herbs they have the little hot rub ons which are behind the counter. Some utensils to choose from too

The store has mostly Thai ingredients, with some Sichuan flavors, and then general East Asian ingredients filling in the rest of the shelves.Fresh papaya salad is awesome and grocery prices are decent.

Thanks Wan for your excellent customer service! Needed banana leaves to make Puerco Pibil (marinated mexican roasted pork). I think this store is the only store in Milwaukee that sells banana leaves!

I bought some Chinese bakery buns and fresh fun noodles. They were old and rock hard when I tried to eat them. I also thought the prices were high for day old buns.

I love the papaya stand in the back. I like it thai style medium hot, with baby crabs, dried shrimp and peanuts. I add the nam sausage (found in the refrigerator by the registers) and whole shrimp with the spicy pork rinds. You can also get sticky rice from the deli. The workers are very nice and they have a great Asian grocery selection. If you are in the Silver City area definitely stop by for your Asian groceries. They also make alot of Lao staples such as Jeow Bong (a roasted pepper sauce), deep fried beef slices and eggplant pepper.

I am absolutely in love with this place. I am mexican but for some reason I feel like Im at home when I come here. Everybody that works here is just so helpful and so absolutely sweet. They have amazing food in the fridge that is ready made and I always have such a hard time choosing what I want because of all the different options.This is the only asian market I have been to since I moved here but I really dont need to go searching for another place just because I love going in at least once a week to visit all the wonderful people that work here. I could not love a place more. Thank you!

Family owned and operated. Great selection of Asian groceries. The owner is always helpful if you cant find what you are looking for or have questions. Street parking may be difficult to find but thats to be expected for the area.

Review №35

They manage to pack a lot into a small space! My favorite thing about this shop, though, are the fresh side dishes, which sell out before noon every day - always loads of choices, but always something different, which makes it a lot of fun to check back in from time to time. We really loved the banana rice pudding and all the coconut-sweetened desserts.

Review №39

They have variety of Asian ingredients and supplies from pots and pans to broom and coconut grater. Most of them are from Southeast Asia, more specifically, Thailand. So if you want to try cooling powder for the summer and browse some of the Thai snacks, this is the place. Not mention, there are a station for your freshly made papaya salad, a must-try, however, be careful on the heat, it is quite spicy. The down sides are it is quite small and the price, when compared to other Asian markets, are quite high.

Review №45

Excellent place to shop for the ingredients for Asian meals. They have everything from spices to fresh vegetables and dishes to serve it all in. Much larger than most other Asian grocery stores. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you bring in a recipe and a specific name brand is not available in the U.S., they will suggest substitutes. If you are planning on cooking a Thai, Laotian, Hmong or Burmese (Myanmar) dinner, then this is the only place to shop. Great service and great selection.

Went to look for some chow fun noodles we had really liked eating out. Found the noodles, fresh, and in the process got cooking lesson and all the right sauces to try to copy the chow fun dish we had. Turns out this place supplies the restaurant we had dinner at. Very helpful lady there explained how to prepare, sauces we needed, and what to do any not to do. Very clean store, well organized, friendly well informed staff. We were greeted when we walked in and offered help several times.

Ive been shopping here for the past 4 years, and every trip is always a pleasant experience.Let me start off with the cons. Lack of parking, although they do have off street parking in the back it is usually full. Its a small store so dont expect them to stock every Asian ingredient, they mainly stock on southeast Asian items.What I love about this place is convenience, its down the block from my place. Staffs are always friendly, they greet customers with a smile and are always willing to help you find what you need. The place is small but very well organized and clean. My favorite part about this place is their small deli and the tasty thai/Laotian freshly prepared food they offer daily (their steam buns are to die for, but they sell out quick! You have to be an early bird). What sets this place apart from other small grocery store is their fresh vegetables. Ive never seen vegetables from them that looked out dated, they seem to do a good job on that compared to other asian grocery stores around Milwaukee.

I love shopping here for Asian groceries! I also buy some veggies here because of good pricing and freshness. I love to mix my tacos with Asian food so this is perfect for me! They sell 36oz jars of Kimchi here and its delicious! The staff here are friendly and helpful! They sell fresh papaya salad at the deli! All the near by Asian restaurants shop here also.

I used to work really close to this market, its small but it has tons of options and food is always fresh, if not, they refrigerate it and all you have to do is heat it up. I love their papaya and snacks. Personally one of my favorite places to shop because the people are so kind here. :)

Great grocery store with a focus on southeast Asian and Chinese groceries. Need more Korean and Japanese groceries to truly be international. Staffs were very helpful and the place was clean. Check their frozen food for stuffs like traditional dumplings, fish cake, Thai custard, etc. - stuffs you could rarely find in America!

A lot of Asian (mostly Thai) foods and at reasonable prices! I mostly buy Japanese and there wasnt a bunch--mostly the things Japanese cooking shares with other Asian cuisine--but I was pleased to discover that they had various fresh (well, not dried) noodles, including ramen and yakisoba! Come here for your sauces, definitely.

This market contains my favorite Thai green papaya salad and Nam Prig, a fresh albeit small selection of Asian herbs and produce, and other items youd expect to find. Everthing tried tastes good as expected. Street parking is hit or miss.

Awesome place to go when you have that need for homemade asian food. I go there for their extensive line if SE Asian sausages. But they have much more. They have an extremely large and fresh produce area. You can even get youre cooking and serving utensils. And dont forget to get the papaya salad. It is the best you will get in MKE. Word to the wise be careful with the extra hot salad, if you are not used to very hot food.
