Hong Phat is a primarily Vietnamese market along the SE 82nd Asian business corridor. There are several other markets in the area but if you want all of your Vietnamese products, give this place a try first. It compares in size to larger markets like Fubon but it doesn't have all those extra businesses.
I remember a few years ago trying to find one of those plastic Vietnamese rice paper wrap & water holders. I looked in a lot of markets and could not find one! Some stores didn't even know what I was asking for. This place had several to choose from!
They have a nice selection of fruits and vegetables and from what I saw, there was nothing rotten. Everything was fresh. They had a nice selection of herbs as well. I bought some jackfruit and it was wonderful! I'm still eating it! I bought some fresh herbs as well and they are still fresh several days later.
The frozen food section has just about anything you're looking for and there are some good deals on frozen shrimp and squid.
There is an area with prepared warm food including many types of Asian foods and some western foods as well. You can get Banh mi sandwiches, papaya salad, fried rice, blood sausage, pineapple with chili/salt, etc...
They also have an area where you can get hot and cold drink including coffee, juices and teas.
