"Sometimes referred to as “Thai Costco,” LAX-C is a massive grocery store and wholesale market that takes up nearly six acres on the eastern edge of Chinatown. Its rows of aisles contain pretty much anything you could desire, from professional-grade woks to beauty products to coconut milk by the gallon. And similar to the other Costco, it's the perfect place to stroll around and disassociate on those days when you've received one push notification too many. Once you get hungry, hit the hot food station up front, where you can order delicious curries and stir-fries from a steam table and eat while watching someone try to load a pallet of jackfruit into a hatchback." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park, garrett snyder
