Where Philly’s Chinatown Community Leaders Go to Eat

"There was a hole in Philadelphia’s heart when the (literally) underground Asia Supermarket and the beloved subterranean Hong Kong eatery Tasty Place closed in 2020. Asianfresh is one of a few new supermarkets that blossomed in its wake to try to fill that void. Samuel Chueh, the City of Philadelphia’s director of international business and global strategy, finds many popular Asian snacks he’d see in his native Taiwan on the marvelous second floor of this wonderland. The first floor — with its seafood and butcher counter and plentiful produce selection that spills out to the street  — is also very impressive." - Diana Lu
