A lot of selections. If you want fresh live seafood, MD Market always has it. Just a typical Asian markets, not well organized and slow in service. If you don’t have a patient to wait, then this is not a place for you.

Huge store. Clean, no smell. Long aisles packed with an amazing variety of items. Theres a hot food section. The roast duck and pork belly were crispy and tasty. The bakery has a nice selection of freshly baked goodies. I couldnt pass up the egg tarts.

Great place to go. I usually go to get something to eat as the 3 entree deal is great. I usually have enough for lunch and dinner. I have also found meat and other things I cannot find elsewhere. Definitely worth a visit.

This place is HUGE!! So much to see and explore. Yes I know its a grocery store but it is awesome!! I was there for an hour the other day just looking at everything. From the variety of fruits of veggies to the live fish! I never knew there was so much! The only thing was the smell if the fish! It is very powerful and overwhelming. But, what I bought I used to make pork egg rolls and they were great! The ingredients were fresh and tasty!! I also sliced some carrots and fried them too. So good!!

Absolutely enjoyed walking through this market. Im visiting from a small town, and wanted to try and place out like this to experiment new things. Big place, lots of variety, sweet and friendly people and staff. Picked up some fresh made spicy tuna sushi rolls and the sweet lady behind the counter said thank you and I thanked her. Definitely recommend this place.

I absolutely love this place! I was in the plaza one day in Pinellas Park and was just looking around while my husband was handling some business in the shopping center, I first was walking past it and then the picture of the dragon fruit caught my eye. I decided to go inside and have a look around and see if there would be anything available that I would want or need, to my surprise they had a ton of amazing items dried and fresh herbs teas, cooking utensils, a place that even served hot food, mind you the hot food was very very very good. The manager was very helpful even took time to go through the different items with me was very upfront and honest and didnt try to oversell me something that I didnt need so it wasnt about the money it was about the customer service and providing the things that I would actually need. I love how they have everything organized the aisles are very spacious so you dont have to worry about running your car into someone else, plenty of people in there both black white whatever. The cashiers which I have my one favorite are very helpful and honest overall its a place where I would definitely definitely feel comfortable with taking my family or if Im in the area just stopping by and making a purchase just because I know that I will be getting something good for my home and my family as well as our health. I have since been back one other time and I plan on many future trips!

Never even knew this place existed, walked in and the place smells great, and is very clean first off. The staff seemed very friendly and the prices are extremely reasonable, you can also buy in bulk there which is super convenient. I would suggest at least checking the place out if you are in the area, well stocked and a wide variety to choose from and also fresh seafood, packaged or live!!

This place need to teach their cashiers to greet & thank their customers. The one in the Customer Service Counter, the young voluptuous girl is unfriendly, impatient, rude & she has no patient towards the elderly who move a little slower than she wants them to. She is unpleasant & should not be in the customer service counter.

Review №18

Great market, but I found a little cheat. The worst things smell the better they taste that’s why now when I go to the regular grocery store I make sure to get the expired milk so it adds more flavor and texture! Yeah it may smell bad but it’s a trade off for flavor. See milk in the boring form doesn’t have any flavor (ask any milk expert) it’s all an illusion but like if you make your milk expired than BAM! FLAVOR!

This place is rad! Ive always been interested in various Asian recipes and this place has ingredients from many different regions. The language barrier is somewhat mitigated by the English on the price labels, and everything is well organized.Its a large store with an impressive mix of fresh and packaged foods. Now I can finally try to make Mapo Tofu at home, or experiment with a new recipe without worrying about how to substitute the various ingredients local to that region.

MD has so much variety. I am always looking for new fresh fruit and vegetable choices to add to meals and am pleased with their store. The variety of frozen dumplings, snacks, noodles, rice, sauces etc is amazing. The sushi is great for quick meals when there is no time to cook. The bakery cakes are art. The prices are excellent. They are still using precautions regarding COVID-19 and remain one of my favorite places to grocery shop.

This is our place for exotic or hard to find ingredients. Their hot food and sushi are really good. They have live fish and crabs in tanks at the seafood section of the store. Unfortunately they stopped carrying my absolute favorite snack Id get from there, the salmon roe flavored crunchy triangles (yes it sounds gross but trust me they would be your favorite too). Sometimes I just go there to kill some time and see what cool stuff they have in stock at the time.

Its always good coming here seeing a fresh selection of produce and vegetables at very reasonable almost unheard of prices, also a vast selection of Asian Foods from fresh noodles, Meats, Seafood, chicken, fresh fish, Pastries and Cakes along with hot meals prepared fresh daily! Theres so much to choose from and even non- food items such as plates, silverware and candles. Its a truly amazing place to visit and always fast and friendly or you can take your time and browse up and down every aisle!

The workers there are not too helpful and some do not speak English. However the store itself provides great variety. From produce to pantry items to dishware and pots and pan, they have a cooked hot food section, a bakery section and seafood counter. They also sell beauty products and cleaning supplies. Like an oriental Walmart.

This is the third time Ive been disrespected while cashing out. Everytime the cashier says cash, credit, debit? real fast and if you dont answer or say what she says it again real slow and in a condescending tone like Im stupid. I thought I was overacting but she did it to my little sister today and I had to walk out. If that was a man Id be in prison.

Review №53

I love Asian Markets. This one isnt as big as the ones Im used to in L.A. Or Georgia, and doesnt have huge seafood, produce, and supplement sections, like I like, but it still gets the job done. Most of the spices, sauces, and supplies to craft your own Asian delicacies, are abundantly stocked, the store is clean, and I was happy to be met by that familiar Asian market aroma when I hit the door. Its still one of my Happy places. 😊

Review №55

Probably the best overall Asian market in the st pete/Tampa area. Includes hot food cafe where you can order ready to eat meals. Well priced produce that is all fresh and maintained well. Nice fresh seafood choices as well. Very well represented in thai/Vietnamese/Korean choices. Wish there was an Indian section. Its worth going to whether you are curious or if your native foods are represented

Review №56

Very good selection! Only issue is the staff at the bakery. The staff used to be very nice and would greet the customers, I went there at around 7:14P on a Sunday (5/30) and a woman with her hair in a long pony tail and glasses was rude to myself and my mom. She saw us looking at the cakes after she was done with a customer and did not even bother to greet us or say “be right with you ma’am! Just ring the bell whenever you’re ready”. As someone who works in customer service, I can tell she is someone who is just lazy and doesn’t know how to attend to customers. I’ve noticed her attitude is the same when she went to serve the customer after us.

HUGE market with incredible variety of Asian foods as well as non-edibles, like cooking implements and dishes. I bought a LOT of decorative dishes as presents for family & friends as they are both inexpensive here (less than online, I find) and beautiful. Unusual, too! Perfect for someone when you want to surprise them with something really cool and totally unexpected. Also nice for small gifts. Check it out - its an adventure!

Awesome prices at the butcher. Best deals on meat around and huge variety, including fresh cuts, offal, and live seafood.

Hot food is available as well.

Review №73

A really good Asian food market for plenty of exotic ingredients most franchise stores dont have available. You want the real spices and produce for your Asian cooking right here. It even has a bakery, fresh sushi, and a hot food takeout joint if you want to grab a bite to eat!My younger brothers were so excited in the snacks and ramen aisle. They could not believe the types of ramen and udon brands available that are probably going to ask me to get a care package kit for them this college season!I think the only downside to most new shoppers is the fact that the seafood section will be overwhelming to anyones nose. I will agree that section does smell like you are in a fish market, but seeing those kinds of fresh fish and crustaceans moving in those massive fish tanks. Amazing!You do not see that in any other store!

Biggest oriental market in town! They have everything you need from fresh fruits and vegetables to live seafood, bakery for daily fresh breads and cakes to food-to-go, hot cook Chinese food. Wide selection of home supplies, frozen food, grains, wet/dry ingredients. Love this supermarket! Definitely get there before closing as the employees will rush you to the cashier.

As a family we LOVE this MD market.Of all of the Asian markets we have been to in the Tampa Bay Area this one is the largest and cleanest of them all. The aisles are not cramped and the store is easy to navigate.They have a great selection of sake, fresh fish, meats, groceries, ramen, teas, candies, snacks, ramune, sauces, spices, and marinades. They also offer great prepared foods that you can eat on site in their cafe seating.

Huge store with lots of asian goodies plus I saw some european stuff as well. Got me a giant sized jar of kimchi probably a gallon or more for $20. Plus a better variety of tofu than your local supermarket. Will be returning here for sure on a regular basis.

Review №83

I will have to try this spot again. There is great potential and it has so many items that I want to try. The problem was the smell. It might have been an off day, I did notice they had a broken cooler in the produce area (which smelt of sewage). Not sure if it was the cooler or just bad plumbing from the restrooms.The back left has fish tanks for live fish, shrimp, crabs, lobsters and more. They also have many seafood items on ice, which are very smelly. Its fresh, lots of live choices but the water is yucky. The meats vary from pork, chicken (includes feet, gizzards, black skin) to pork, rabbit, goat, duck (including heads and feet), to regular meat cuts. Huge variety for those looking for something different.Now the good. Tons of choices of steamed bun, dumplings, unique drinks, fruits and veggies. Lots of sauces. Mixes and interesting items to try. I purchased some fresh bread, really good and the Taro icecream is amazing (a bit expensive but well worth it). Ill return but will use some nose spray or allergy meds first.

Great big oriental/asian/ethnic market. I havent lived in Pinellas County very long, and have been looking for an Asian market to replace the one in my old neighborhood. MD Oriental Market did not disappoint. They have a bakery, fresh seafood, plenty of fresh produce, as well as all the typical Oriental Market standards of chopsticks, steamer baskets, party favors, really you name it. Will definitely be back and totally recommend.

FRESH DUCK! We had been looking for a reasonably priced frozen duck ($40!! at one place) when I had the epiphany ~ duck is very common in Asian cuisine, so off to MD Oriental Market we went. What an immense, fabulous store this is! So many foods not found in typical American grocery stores. And we found both frozen and fresh duck, for only $14.99 ~ total! It WAS a bit of a shock to see that it was a whole duck- head, feet and all. We asked their butcher to cut the head off (um, but he left the neck...) and it was the most amazing, tasty roasted deliciousness! Going back for the fresh sushi, maybe dungeness crab and the baked goods are works of art! Also, store appears very clean with good product turnover.
