More interesting than the Walmart that preceded it could have ever hoped to be, this brand-spanking-new Hong Phat Supercenter is something to behold. While it is still coming online and filling out with new features and tenants, the place is absolutely sprawling, and filled with more variety of imported goods than I have seen anywhere else, outside of Uwajimaya in Beaverton.
The produce here, like all Hong Phats, is larger, better quality, and cheaper than any commercial chain grocer such as WinCo, Safeway, or Fred Meyer. Just about any ingredient, sauce, or spice you can imagine (and more than a few you can't!) is readily available here, if you know where to look; some items are squirreled away in places that aren't immediately intuitive, but as you are likely to spend quite a while exploring this place, you'll find it eventually, if you are patient.
I have read that this flagship Hong Phat is meant to eventually host restaurants, a more populated Food Court than it is currently, as well as specialty retailers and services, much like the mini-mall surrounding Fuboon, a little further north, in between this Hong Phat and the other big one, near Stark Street. While that is a vision as yet unrealized, you can see that the wheels are turning to make this a grocery store experience unlike any other in the Portland-Metro. It's not there yet, but I have high hopes that it will be, in the near future.
