I've driven by this place several times running errands at other businesses in the area and didn't know what it was, just seeing that it was a large building. I went to another Asian market in the area looking for Chinese eggplant and specialty mushrooms like enoki and king trumpet mushrooms and couldn't find any! Driving and looking for another market led me here. And I sure am glad I found it!
This market is located in a shopping complex that appears to be set up to house a food court, but I could only see one or two food places operating at this time. When you walk into the market, the overwhelming smell of fish hits you, then you notice the huge fish case on the left hand side. All of the seafood there is sold by the pound, fresh on ice. The shrimp I got on a second visit was fresh and plump despite being much cheaper priced than fresh shrimp sold at other grocery stores.
The produce is the first set of items you see when you walk in, but I had to take a couple turns around the section since they have two cases against walls housing refrigerated produce, like the mushrooms, bean sprouts, scallions. They do have a lot of traditional produce in the middle of the section so that you can buy your cucumbers and tomatoes while getting mustard greens and Chinese cauliflower.
The grocery items like spices, sauces, seasonings, noodles, teas, snacks, dried foods, frozen foods, definitely are the biggest draw to this market. It is a little hard to find what you are looking for if you're going for the first time, so I would recommend giving yourself enough time to go aisle by aisle to see what each one houses. (I couldn't find a section, refrigerated or non refrigerated, with miso, so that's the next assignment for myself when I return.)
If you compare the prices to other markets though, you may find the other markets have lower ones for specific items. But the fact that you can obtain almost everything generally Asian related here is definitely reason to stop by!
