This is so far my favorite Asian grocery store in OKC. Having been uprooted from the DC area, I thought my days of fresh produce and Asian goodies was over. But no worries, I found super cao!
Large selection of all kinds of leafy greens and Asian veggies, sometimes I don't even recognize these veggies, that's how authentically Asian it is, haha. A lot of herbs which I know are daily necessity for southeast Asian cuisine. Decent selection of fruits, not quite as robust of a selection as it was on the east coast but I'm keeping in mind that this is a Vietnamese store, not a Chinese one, so naturally more tropical/exotic selection.
There's fresh Thanh's tofu (which is another good spot). This is the real deal guys, reminds me of tofu from my hometown where it's freshly made daily and sold in blocks they cut off per your request.
There's always an assortment of prepared foods in the front, Asian corn on a cob, sticky rice dishes, rice cakes, pudding, etc. most of what we've tried so far are decent, the more adventurous looking ones were a little different for my taste, but the pudding and sticky rice were my go to.
Large seafood and meat selection with butcher on site to prepare your meats as requested. I haven't tried the seafood yet but overall looked fresh.
Again, this is a Vietnamese store and not Chinese so understandably I can't find as much Chinese goods here, but definitely enough of a selection to cover your basic Asian style cooking. (Not a large selection of moon cakes for the recent mid autumn festival).
I've read that on weekends there's hot pastry selection in the front of the store but we have yet to check that out.
All in all, great selection for it being not in a huge Asian hub and I'm definitely happy about having such easy access
Update: tried their weekend selection of fresh pastries. Didn't see any stew for entree. the Chinese cruller has the right concept but way too greasy, the sesame ball has a mung bean filling instead of black sesame, and the meat pie is again a bit greasy. The churro was crunchy and delicious per the hubby. All in all not too impressed with the bakery part but I'll take what I can get!
