LAX-C

I’ve been wanting to check out this place. TBH, the prices for individual grocery items are not super competitive- perhaps if you buy in bulk? I really came for BBQ Express. Not all prices are listed and the workers were nice and patient to explain the dishes and prices. The papaya salad was $12 which I thought was a little steep. The pad Thai with several good size shrimp is quite good and nicely priced at $12. The entrees were decent, not great. E.g. the ground chicken with basil.. tasted more like chicken with fish sauce. The hot seller entree was the spicy catfish. The fried bananas/sweet potatoes/taro were the best I tried that day but could use a little more crunch. Note their hours for hot food— Mon-Sat 8am-330pm. Sundays 830am-330pm. Closed on Wednesdays.

Love this market, it meets all the purposes for personal and business matters. The parking can be very crowded most of the time due to they have big trucks for pick up and delivery. I have been shopping here for years. Also there are plenty of restrooms is located near the parking lot.

Cool place to shop. Buy a little here and there or a few cases. Lots of food and accessories available here. Watch out for the forklifts moving around as you shop. Prices are reasonable and some items have been collecting lots of dust. Restrooms are available for customer use too.

Back in the day I would come here to get mint, cucumbers and lemons for a tea shop. Now I come for the snacks and bulk items for whenever I’m make a large batch of something. It’s like what other reviewers say, a Thai Costco. You’ll find Seafood, fresh and frozen. Produce, ready-to-go hot meals, frozen dumplings, any kind of Asian sauce, and a bunch of items for food items to-go, cleaning supplies and utensils. The isles are long and wide. The parking lot gets busy but it’s free parking. Credit cards have a 3% charge added at checkout. Debit cards and cash do not.

It's like a Thai Costco! Huge warehouse with wholesale prices. Definitely the place if you're looking for Thai or Asian ingredients and snacks. They've outdoor and indoor food vendors serving authentic Thai food. While it doesn't seem quite as tidy as Costco, you'll certainly get more ethic items here

This place is like restaurant depot, Costco, or any warehouse, but "asian style". A great place for restaurant owners or operators. The prices are competitive, some items are cheaper than other same store, some are not. They have a good selections of asian products, meats, and vegetables. They also have restaurant supplies, like to go containers, kitchen wares, silverwares, chemicals, even some some appliances. Parking is good. They have employees that can help you find items you need, they will help you carry/ load your items to your vehicle.

Definitely my favorite Asian grocery store, huge with complete selection of everything Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese products. All the cooking vessels you need for Asian food. I like that the staff speak Thai. Highly recommend, prices are good. Especially for bulk buying.

Huge Thai restaurant supply store! The parking is terrible. Took awhile to go through every aisles. They could do a better job at displaying the price for each item. Their snack selection is not as big as other Thai markets. The Thai prepared food counter has a variety of delicious food and dessert...definitely checked them out. The chive dumplings, sticky rice with custard on top, foi thong (golden thread), met khanun tasted like what you'll find in Thailand.

Parking is a bit cramped but we always manage to find parking somewhere. It has a wide variety of ingredients. Some stuff was more expensive than other Asian grocery stores in SGV. Not sure if price is hiked because this is in LA. I love how I can find most Asian ingredients here like halaya ube jam and thai tea! Also, during the weekend, they have food vendors outside. Mango coconut cake is my favorite.

I love roaming "Thai Costco." I never get a shopping cart because I could do a lot of damage here. If I needed fish sauce, soy sauce or fresh bagged Asian veggies, I would come here and just walk the aisles and get something else you might need in the kitchen. I would maybe also pick up a dish or two at the little restaurant inside selling a variety of Thai food at a steam table for $11/$12/$13 combos with rice. They also have desserts like durian and sticky rice. In the parking lot, there are chicken and pork barbecue skewers and other dishes to try like papaya salad. You can also find freshly made kanom krok or coconut cakes and other desserts. The kanom krok was a little too sweet for me here. Next door to LAX-C is a Thai tea boba shop where you can buy Thai iced tea or coffee, matcha tea and more. Visiting LAX-C is great way to get some steps in on a Sunday morning before eating some Thai food in the car or at the LA Historic Park if you want to extend your walk there with a Thai food picnic. Chimney Coffee is also next door if you're more of a coffee person. *Check the expiration dates as I bought a bag of pasta expired 1.5 years ago*

LAX-C is your one stop shop for Thai and other southeast Asian groceries. It feels like an Asian Costco tucked in the city. Come here for groceries on the cheap! I like to come here to restock my sauces since I don't have to buy a minimum per item and just have to pay a minimum of ~$15-20 for my whole cart. Be aware though that meat and veggies are available only in bulk. The real gem is the little to-go restaurant inside the grocery store. At only about $12 for a 2 piece combo with rice, it's a steal. Food is fresh. Portions are generous and the food feels homey. There is a good amount of parking and also a couple of restaurants and cafes in the same plaza you can stop by.

I live this place. The prices are great! The location is good. Weekend are great, the food benders are open. I get tummy snacks.

LAX-C is a cool little store to walk into. Within the area, there's authentic Thai food & a store with endless amount of things from groceries to things you need for prayers. Parking can be a little tricky depending on the time & day. However I would recommend coming on the weekends and trying out the coconut desserts & bbq sticks outside of the store.

Came by the other day and it was like going to Thailand. LAX-C is located on the outskirts of Chinatown. Parking is available in the dilapilated parking lot with a few security guards hanging out inside a booth. Street parking is a great option. LAX-C is a wholesale Thai grocer and restaurant supplier. They have wholesales takeout boxes, bags, utensils, pots, pans, along with cleaning supplies. They have a wide variety of Thai spices, wholesale meats, and noodles too. The warehouse itself is rather disorganized. The parking lot is scattered with rubbish and faces an unfinished building, just like in Thailand. There is also a small furniture selection along with a small hot deli inside the grocery wholesaler

Pleasant surprise to find ChaTraMue Thai tea house inside this warehouse parking lot. Hot plates serve authentic Thai dishes. See pics for more information from today visit December 15, 2024

Whole sale prices mostly cheaper than anywhere else. From fresh veggies to frozen meats , poultry and farm, dry goods, canned & frozen foods, kitchen wares, cutleries, chinas, and many more. Also serving Thai fast food to go. Place looks like an old warehouse and not fancy at all. I love old paintings on front walls depicting Indian warriors on horses. Staff helpful and accommodating. Will help take bulky and heavier goods to your car upon request. Comforting feeling to have specially when buying in bulks.

We had heard things about LAX-C from friends claiming it was Thai CostCo so we wanted to check it out. LAX-C is located on the outskirts of Chinatown near downtown LA in a large, gated lot. There are a number of restaurants within the same lot and parking was pretty hit or miss as we witnessed some fairly atrocious parking when we were there. When we went, there was only one gate open to enter and exit so keep that in mind when coming and going. The actual store itself is a bit of a rundown looking warehouse. It reminded me of Asian grocery stores in the SVG in the 80s so it didn't bother me. There were rows of refrigerated and freezer units a little bit in with rows of shelved goods further behind. I would recommend going directly to the back to shop dry items and then pick up cold stuff on your way back front. Selection felt both extensive and limiting at the same time because while there was a variety of items being offered, most items didn't have multiple brand options of the same item. Prices seemed very reasonable as far as I could tell and there were prices posted for single items or whole cases. We will certainly be back the next time we want to stock up on Asian groceries/staples. Last tip, pay w cash or debit as credit cards have a 3% fee.

My first visit I had no clue what this place was...or what it really entailed. I came here since it looked like a very large asian supermarket so I had to check it out. It was a bit overwhelming my first visit & I had no need to really shop there, just wanted to simply check it out. This was a couple years ago, pre pandemic. When I see the modern Thai words near the entrance of the store, my heart longs for BKK & all the Thai things. I have found that Thai items are sort of a rarity here in the US, yeah you can get certain items like oyster sauce & instant noodles, but some brands & kitchenware are hard to find & those require a transaction at a specialty Thai market. Through my trips I purchased a clay mortar & pestle (viet stores do NOT sell these!!), a sticky rice basket (Kratip), healthy boy brand soy sauces (these you can find in certain stores, but are a lil difficult to find), tamarind chopping block, thai mushroom seasoning cubes, enamel trays (white rabbit brand) & other items. For a first time visit, this place will seem overwhelming & its best to visit if you're looking for a specific thai item. The store has a smell to it & reminds me of southeast asia. It's dusty in there but just adds to the character of the store. There's A LOT to see but there's such an awesome selection of kitchenware, especially if you're a restaurant owner or a cooking enthusiast. Just an FYI... there's a 3% surcharge for card transactions, & all card transactions are $20 minimum. The hours also suck, as they close early at 4. Overall, I love this place it's basically an asian restaurant depot. My only complaint is I wish they stocked more Thai items (not just an assortment of asian items you can get anywhere) as this store caters to mostly Thai food & product.

Went on a whim and wanted to explore Chinatown. I was very skeptical about their location but it seemed pretty safe when you get to the market. This place is huge and is filled with Thai groceries plus a small deli counter in the front. My husband got their Thai Tea and it was very authentic. It is a bit dark! Pretty cool to check out or if you want to buy wholesale.

This is the Costco of Thai/Asian grocery! They have individual pack prices and case prices on most items Variety is great, prices are fair Packaging on vegetables a bit too large for small family consumption They also have a vendor that sells food to go. The dishes are all Thai and the flavor on point. Price for the to go is very reasonable Service in the main area is minimal as you would expect at a warehouse store

My sister always take me here. So many wholesale items on sale. Today I was able to find Long Beans for my Adobo dish. My grandkids ' favorite dish that I cook, "Adobong Sitaw" ! A co-worker was desperately looking for Sambal Oelek chili paste ... eureka!!!! Found it here!!!

Not impressive. Dim and gloomy place and 3% surcharge if pay with credit card. It might be a place for cheap Asian ingredients if you buy as large scale. For small scale, this place is not cheaper than many Asian grocery stores. Some of them are even more expensive. Some items don't have price tags so it is to figure out the price. The place is big but not well organized. Overall, I don't recommend coming here for Asian items.

This place has just about everything you need for your restaurant or your little hole in the wall=). They have varieties of meat, vegetables, sea foods, spices, etc. They also carry supplies like spoons, forks, chop sticks, knifes, strainers of your noodle shop, etc. Items are sold in bulk and by pieces also. A lady who lives around the area came and asked me one day what LAX-C was and I told her that it was a whole sale groceries store. She said, "So, they don't open to public?" I told her they do open to public. She was so happy to hear that they do. She came by the place many times and did not realized that it was a grocery store. Come and check it out. They have more than just food items. On the other side of the wall, they have pots and pans, propane stove, bowls, plates,... for you home/restaurant need. Happy shopping!!!

came to the infamous "thai costco". I wish we had one of these in Hawaii since there is a big Asian population. There are sheets of fresh rice noodles packaged and ready for purchase. There are a ton of Thai products but unless you are going to make in bulk you can probably get it at your local Thai grocer. I do wish you could order online and have it shipped out. Maybe that's something they can work on. I will definitely come back here when I visit Los Angeles again.

Bulk restaurant Thai and Asian ingredients and supplies. Fresh vegetables, noodles, curry pastes, sauces, snacks, tea powder, kitchen supplies, take out containers... everything you need to run a successful restaurant. I love buying my Thai ingredients for meal prepping here as I can get it in bulk and I know it's fresh and great price. I also know they'll carry all the ingredients I need. They also have ready made Thai food court with curries, desserts, rice dishes, and Thai drinks inside. Outside is outdoor Thai food stalls for grilled chicken on a stick (kai Yang), and other Thai food and desserts and drinks. Plenty of parking and the center has other restaurants and coffee places. Better to pay cash as credit card has a 3% charge.

LAX-C, located technically in Chinatown, although not in the area where you would find all the small stores and eateries, this gigantic warehouse is known as the Thai or Asian Costco (but smelly and dirtier than regular Costco). LAX-C has its own parking lot with free parking and has outdoor vendors that sell Thai dishes that include barbecue pork and chicken skewers, coconut cakes and papaya salad, but is only available on weekends and is CASH ONLY. Now as for LAX-C itself, you will find a pleather of all things Asian (dry noodles, rice, spices/ seasonings, soy sauce by the gallon, pot ware, teas, Asian snacks, meats, fish paste and so much more (I am sure my fellow Yelp members photos can give you a good idea). There are lot of items sold that are from Thailand, Malaysia, China and Singapore. This restaurant supply store has prices that I think are comparable to Asian markets like Ranch 99. But as mentioned, this place is definitely not the cleanest. When walking down the aisle that sells rice (in large bag sizes) I smelled urine. There is also dust on a lot of items and for some reason, I saw rice rolls randomly on a wooden palette in the middle of the aisle. In the very far back to the left (if you entering the store), there is a whole section that sells pots/ pans, dishes, Thai statues, etc. Right in front of the fresh seafood section, there is a small barbecue express that you can purchase food items from steam tables (in case you come on a week day and those vendors I had mentioned above are not available for you to purchase their delicious food items). The food items can be purchased in a combo form, with or without rice (you can check out my photo for the menu). My husband and I came by this market yesterday afternoon, a little before 12:30 pm. After we had lunch outside, we decided to do some shopping inside the store an hour later. It wasn't crowded inside, although there was a long line at check out (but did go by faster than expected). We ended up purchasing various instant teas that are from Singapore (according to a friend of mine who is from Singapore that these brands are popular back home), Lays potato chips with unique flavors to Thailand (truffle and boat noodle), snack crackers and gas for our small stove (the ones you would buy to do hot pot at home). Surprisingly the 4 pack gas was actually cheaper than the ones you purchase at H Mart or 99 Ranch (by ~$2- 3). Please note that there is a 3% surcharge for credit card transactions and you need to spend at least $20 if you do use a credit card. I am glad that I had enough cash on hand to pay for my purchase to save on the transaction fee. Overall, I had a great shopping experience and would love to purchase the instant teas again when I am in the area and probably some more of those small gas packs too.

LAX-C is located in the outskirts of Chinatown and I never heard of this warehouse for the past two decades until I recently read one of Eater's articles about it. Most Yelpers call this place "Thai Costco" and that actually sums up pretty well. LAX-C has two Saturday/Sunday outdoor food vendors (opens from 9 AM to 4 PM) selling Thai street food. [Parking]: Has a free private parking lot, but parking can a bit chaotic during busy hours. [Weekend outdoor vendors & menu]: On Saturday and Sunday, customers will find two makeshift stalls selling tom yum soup noodle, yellow tail poppers, yellowtail deep fry, soft shell crab, taro milk cake (kanom babin), Thai pancake roll (kanom tokin), Thai chili flakes with crispy pork, coconut waffles, papaya salad, skewers (BBQ pork/BBQ chicken), coconut cakes, Thai sausage, and chicken/taro puff. You will NOT find Pad Thai or Pad See Ew here. [Indoor]: The massive indoor emporium selling Thai packaged goods, spices, and miscellaneous products (random kitchenware, electronics, Thai religious items, elephant statues, etc). Prices aren't exactly super competitive, but they do offer bulk discount. There's also a small deli located right next to the cashier counters. *** Tom yum soup noodle (mild spicy - $10): It was not bad at all - broth had a good balance of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors and mild spiciness level was just right. Taro milk cake (kanom babin - $6): This dessert had a very similar texture to Chinese New Year sweet rice cake or Japanese mochi, but these cakes just had taro flavor instead. BBQ pork skewer ($3): I was told skewer was a bit fatty, but I thought it was pretty good. $3 is slightly expensive, but portion was fairly generous. *** Wat Thai of Los Angeles in North Hollywood still has the best Thai weekend food court, but I do stop by Chinatown about half a dozen time a year so it is just more convenient to visit LAX-C as Sun Valley is out of the way.

We came for their outdoor vendors and decided to walk around the big warehouse and was surprised to find so many good stuff! I can see why other yelpers call this an Asian Costco. Their outdoor venders were good too! We got a pork skewer, coconut cakes, taro milk cake, and Tom yum noodle soup.

OMG the Asian Costco you've been dreaming of! From wholesale products, perishable and non-perishable goods! They have it all! A must see and experience if you're in the area! They even have a take-out station for Laotian food and deserts!

Known in certain Angeleno circles as the 'Thai Costco' - LAX-C is self-described as an 'international grocery' and 'wholesale store' situated on 1100 N Main Street, nestled between the eastern edge of Chinatown and Mission Junction, is more of an outing than your standard Thai market. It has groceries, indeed - all at a wholesale price and with a comprehensive selection for those cooking Thai or Asian dishes. But it also has a few fresh food vendors - both indoor and outdoor. It has a sizeable import/export warehouse - an excellent place for decorative, kitchen, Buddhist, or other Thai-related items. Savvy shoppers will like this area for those off-the-beaten-path gifts. There are household items and general goods to check off their well-roundedness to be a 'one-stop shop' for many of your Asian needs. Gourmands will love LAX-C - a place to get lost in or ruminate on your next cooking adventure. Like a warehouse, navigating your first time there is not the easiest - but you'll get a sense of how things are situated after that visit. They have fresh vegetables, meat, etc. - but where they shine for Asian cooking is the fresh aromatics that you typically have difficulty finding otherwise. If they don't have it, chances are no one else will. And, for ASG, this is where LAX-C shines. It has fresh aromatics and spice aisles that recall stores throughout Asia. When making that specialty Thai dish - we definitely stop here for those items. And the prices typically rival what you get elsewhere - so it may be worth that extra out-of-your-way trip. Next for gourmands - is the houseware and import/export areas - LAX-C has those serving plates, specialty utensils, and Asian cookery that you would see back home. It is a great place to shop for friends and family who may have everything - so pick up that non-obvious gift here. Because ASG loves making pickling and sauces - they have very traditional Thai servingware that is cute and inexpensive. By our description, you can tell that LAX-C is a great place for restauranteurs. Items are not only in variety but in bulk. As for the food vendors, you'll have your standard Thai selection of street food - but check them out, inside or outside, before deciding. That may help make your decision - but both are totally solid choices, in our opinion. Having the vendors is a great way to cap off the outing - after wandering a warehouse for an hour, getting some food to bring home (or eat right on the spot) just makes the trip that much more worthwhile. A few notes of wisdom. Many Asian fresh aromatics dry quickly - we recommend picking them up nearer the end of your trip. We also suggest walking the store at least once to get your bearings. You want to get the best items for your next meal, so ensure you have a good idea of the store layout and where items are. Have a list - in our case, we were eager to find some tamarind paste - which has been hard to find. (We needed it for soup.) They had it and a variety - but coming with a list is essential. Parking is free inside the gates, but it can sometimes be tenuous. It is also tight, so be aware of coming in and out. There is a lot of foot traffic, too - so monitor your bearings. Off-hours are best, so, if you can, try going mid-morning and during the weekday. There is no membership required. FYI - there is a 3% surcharge for using a credit card - no charge for debit. We typically bring cash in hand to make it easy for both groceries and food vendors. We'd love to hear about your outings at LAX-C - please check out allstreetsgourmand.com for more.

Big retail and wholesale place offering various Asian products! The entire store is very dusty. However, if you're in need of any household items, Asian seasoning, then you'll find it here. The price is decent. There are 2 vendors selling food in front. The papaya salad was good. The grilled meat was meh....

That day I went veggies were fresh. Wish they had more options in the instant noodles. Love the food court foods yellow noodles with cha sui was pretty good will be back soon.

Review is just for the food court inside the Lax-C. I kind of love steam trays the way I love dim sum carts. I just want to pick what looks good, and there were a lot of items that looked good lol. I got a 2 item combo: a red sauce pork and some kind of stewed meat and mustard greens. So good. The portions are generous, so I had leftovers for lunch the next day. My husband got dry egg noodles with char siu. This was also pretty good, but not as flavorful as the steam tray items. I really liked that they did not hold back on the flavors, and the items were not typical of those you normally see at a Thai restaurant. I love mustard greens and only occasionally see it at Chinese restaurants in SGV. I really enjoyed my plate and want to try their curries next time.

This place had everything you need to make great Asian dishes I was looking for a sticky rice basket but they were out. I would say you would need to know what you're looking for when shopping here and the food is definitely geared towards bulk items. I had sticky rice from the food stand Inside if the store and it was delicious. Brought memories of when I visited Thailand.

Night market is great, good food, little on expensive side. Parking is confusing if not impossible to find.

This place is like a Thai restaurant Depot than a Costco. You get all that you need to open a Thai restaurant from food to decor. You can even get a large elephant & Buddha too. You don't need a membership and you can get stacks of eggs, vegetables, sauces, etc. I wish there were more selections of snacks but it's mostly Thai snacks rather than Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc. The snacks are quite spicy and my kids can't finish it all. We did get some sauces we can't get at Costco as well as some cans of grass jelly, pandan jelly, etc. There's also a food court outside with very tender bbq. Better than the temple in Sunland. We ate well. My kids were more interested in the stray cats nearby. Surprised no one was selling drinks at the food stalls. I didn't even see Thai tea.

We went there on Wednesday and found out the food court is closed. Good shopping place for Thai stuff.

Tucked inside the Thai "Costco" small food stall with various dishes. Honestly, my knowledge of Thai food is very limited but the food here was really delicious. Ordered a 2 item combo and some noodles. Combo comes with rice and I got the larb which is spicy and sour and a stewed pork dish. Also got a noodle dish that come with spicy sauce, pork and fish cake. Definitely recommend coming here, everything is delicious and don't come here looking for pad Thai.

I think you have to visit a few times to get oriented and find what you need, but here's some great things I've found: - bulk veggies for making green juice - fresh rice noodles (on pallets) - fresh wood ear and other typical supplies. Most produce is in bulk. I was here Tuesday morning and the prepared food bar was open (I usually see it only on weekends.) That was great -- the pandan jelly kuih dessert was still warm and fresh.

This wholesale market is for restaurant owners only selling by bulk only & its not for individual home cooking The place is confusing and dirty. I was looking to buy ingredients for a Tomyang soup but they sell everything by the bulk. I left in disgust and went back to my favorite Thai market BANGLUCK located at 5170 Hollywood Blvd. L.A. where you can find all the tomyang soup ingredients in the vegestable area.

Asian Costco prices of products are cheap, and you don't have to buy bulk. No membership required either. 1 star less because it looks run down.

A true hidden gem, tucked inside the Chinatown's notorious Thai Costco. LaxC BBQ serves such authentic Thai cuisine for an affordable price. I've been coming on and off for years, but recently found myself in the area. I was somewhat intimidated ordering cause nothing is labeled, but the lady who helped me was kind and tried to describe what everything is. Instead of individual combo plates, I opted to order full serving of each which were $10 per (large rice $5) -stir fry spicy pork and holy basil: one of my favorites, so spicy and flavorful! I eat so much of this!!! -yellow curry: light sweet curry, I believe it's vegetarian, it has baby eggplants and fish cakes -stewed boiled eggs and tofu: sweet soy broth simmered with fried tofu and eggs, I like these cause it's a great balance with the spicy items. Everything is so good and a great place to try new foods. I believe they open when the wholesale opens, but not entirely sure.

Huge parking lot but there's also a lot of cars coming in and out so it can be a bit tricky. There are a few vendors outside selling BBQ and desserts at a decent price. Some people have suggested and compared this establishment to an Asian Costco and while it's definitely wholesale prices and packages, it just reminds me of a very very large Asian wholesale market. It definitely isn't as modern or organized as a Costco would be. The bathrooms are located outside but were actually cleaner than I had expected it to be. Since the store is very large, it's easy to feel overwhelmed so you have to take your time going through each aisle. We found quite a few things here that are not available at our local Asian grocery stores. Price isn't too bad at all.

We went on a Friday. Parking is decent & free but dirty & only one-way flow for entry & exit. Inside is dark, dingy & dirty with many forklifts moving where ppl are walking - not safe. There's only one restaurant inside. The food selections didn't look appetizing at all. There are 3 small pop-up tents that were closed so might be opened on weekends. Overall, not worth visiting! It's a dump.

Do not use the ATM here. It ripped my $20 bill upon getting dispensed and the cashier shrugged and refused to help or exchange it for a non ripped bill.

thai heaven. bulk produce and amazing prices. i always buy a box of canned coconut milk, cashews, thai tea and green papaya here. the service is so friendly and welcoming. it is clean and organized. overall, highly recommend!

A little intimidating, not as organized or clean as a Costco but if you know what you're looking for and are not afraid to ask for help, it's perfect! Took me a few times coming to understand the set up. Lax C is very similar to a Thai Costco but you don't necessarily have to but everything in bulk! The prices are excellent for seafood and Thai ingredients! If you can whether the chaos happening on the inside, I highly recommend grabbing grub from the outside food vendors!

While I appreciate the wholesale prices they have, the service needs to improve. From the missing price, the open box policies, and the product placement, I was confused on how they actually arrange their products. Will I be back? Maybe not, as I mentioned some of the annoying facts above. Plus, parking is a headache. 2 or maybe 2.5 stars.

Some of the vegetables and fresh noodles are worth for groceries price, but what draws me are the rows and rows of Thai spices that are uncommon in other Asian supermarkets. The different curry pastes from phanaeng to massaman curries all packaged neatly for professional and personal use. For anyone looking all the Asian dried food from wood-ear fungus to black moss draw plenty of folks in Chinatown and the surrounding area for this food essential in Asian vegetarian cuisine. It's a fun adventure going back through the middle aisle for different powders, herbs, and my favorite thing here: Thai-style instant noodles!

Love this places especially when I'm in LA for the day. A must! I come here for my Asian snacks that they don't have in San Diego .

This is more of a review of the food vendors outside LAX-C, but the store itself is great too. Lots of unique offerings that you can't find anywhere else, which makes this a great place to buy gifts/souvenirs to bring back home if you're visiting LA. We came here on Saturday around 1pm with the intention of trying the vendors outside. My friend got the papaya salad with medium spice and two chicken barbecue skewers. In hindsight she wishes she got no spice because the spice in that papaya salad was no joke! I like to think I have a pretty high spice tolerance (fire noodles have nothing on me) but this salad was a challenge for me. I got a pork barbecue skewer, a chicken barbecue skewer, and the kanom krok, aka tiny coconut pancakes. It took 30 minutes to get my order, which would've been less annoying had I not been told that I was next 3 times only to have people who had ordered beforehand and waited elsewhere come back and swoop the order right in front of my nose. I also wish you could get your order in parts as it would've been nice to eat the barbecue skewers whilst waiting for my kanom krok. The food was definitely worth the wait though. The skewers were very tender and the kanom krok was perfect. Crispy exterior but soft and creamy on the inside. The coconut flavour is very strong, and at $6 for a big tray, it's very affordable too. I would definitely come back here if I ever had the chance.

I can't really give a positive reviews during my first visit . We came in 30 minutes before they closed and were just perusing some aisles to see what they carry. Instead of announcing they are now closed or say customers have 10 minutes or so to pay etc. , Lights were turned off at some aisles. Does not matter if someone is in that section or not . It's dark so, my mom almost tripped walking out of that dark aisle . ( looks like someone might have a lawsuit in the near future if they keep this up and someone might actually hurt themselves in that dark aisle ) ridiculous!

Holy Moly!! This place is like a gigantic Costco except it's about 80 to 85% of the food/groceries/merchandise are Asian! Price was great!! Parking is okay if you go when it's busy. Because it's my first time here, not sure when their slow time are. Parking is free though. I'm so definitely coming back here. I believe it's mainly a Thai theme, but there are other Asian ingredients here. And cookware too!

It's like a Thai version of Costco, with a heck of a selection if you don't mind bulk. I'm almost at a loss for words on how to describe what's inside.

There's lots of Asian things to buy at wholesale price inside the store. I especially love the fresh Thai street food that's set up outside. Unfortunately the food vendors were not open when I went on Monday versus my first time going there on a Saturday, so not sure what days they are closed. It's a must try for Papaya salad, meat skewers and Thai desserts.

I always shop here and couple months ago I bought one thing with my ebt card and this warehouse were able to take all my money the next day and that was the last place I shopped at. I have a habit of checking my food balance and keep receipts as well , these people maybe all be working together able to take people information so be careful I would not shop there anymore. It's very disappointing that someone there would do that I really loved this place . #ShameOnThem

Had a lot of Thai, Chinese, Philippine, India, Korean types of ingredients frog legs are not my thing to consume. But are a delicacy to some.
