Too many choices. Parking is great. Market had a lot to choose from. Interesting place. I'd go back with my kids.

A little of everything for everyone. I love that this was located right above the hot pot restaurant because we were able to walk off how full we were while we shopped. When you walk into the market place, all of the home goods were on the lower level, while the market is up the escalator. You're greeted by a bunch of restaurants on the right side including a bakery, dumplings, dim sum, ramen, sushi and more. Then we shopped around. From fresh fruits, veggies, sauces, dried goods, a meat section, dairy section, frozen section and more. You have endless aisles to walk through. But my favorite was walking through the snack aisles and seeing their different flavored lays chips and all of my childhood favorite snacks. I also discovered some new ones that I love too! All in all, when in the area I'll definitely make another pit stop! Savings tip: Be sure to bring your own bags as they do charge for bag usage!

First time visiting this Asian supermarket near Chinatown. They have a parking lot with plenty of free parking which was a pleasant surprise! Upon entering the building, take the escalator upstairs to access this supermarket. Once you enter the supermarket, stay to the right side and you will find a small food court with four vendors, including a stall serving dim sum. The good: Their varieties of snacks were impressive! The selection of Lays chips and Oreos from overseas was probably the most I've seen, even more than at Chicago's Gangnam Market. The biggest highlight though was they sell Schweppes cream soda. I've never found this cream soda at any supermarket in Chicago or Houston. This soda brings back great memories of my trips to Hong Kong! The bad: The produce. The quality was not great and the prices were much higher than what you'll find at H-Mart and Joong Boo. I recommend visiting to stock up on snacks and creme soda, but pass on the produce.

Free parking in their parking lot!! Finally a place that offers free parking. We went to check out the grocery store that was located upstairs. Take the escalator upstairs and grab a shopping cart. There's a ton of cool groceries from Asia to choose from. Also a food court and area to dine. We were worried about the perishable items going bad, my friend asked for a cooler for purchase and they gave him 1 for free in the back of seafood section. This place is new, clean, downstairs from the grocery store is hot pot restaurant, bubble tea and korean chicken restaurant. Also couple of retail home goods store. The girls at the bubble tea cafe were so sweet, she offered to take our picture for their wall.
