Our go to place in Chico for vegetables from South East Asia. Great place. Friendly service. Definitely recommendable.
Saw that there were two Asian markets in Chico and decided to come to this here to 1) check it out because my boyfriend and I just moved here 2) closer to home 3) wants to see what they had since we normally go to the other market on Nord Ave (further from us). First impression- the outside is definitely like the picture on Yelp. It's green and looks like a "car" garage, but it's a storefront - not really your typical store / building front.. when we parked the car, we saw an older lady walk out with two containers of Tea soo - we knew they were open. When you walk in, it's kind of tight. Veggies to the left.. shelves of : beef paste, hoisin, dried foods etc. to the right and in front of you. Drinks fridge along the right side of the wall and further to the right, on the back of the wall was the freezer section. It's a tight squeeze if there is more than one person in the aisle. LOTS of mixed vegetables. A good variety! There is also a small section towards the back of the store with noodles, cooking pots, pans, bowls etc. The cashier and person working the store was very nice, attentive, and helpful. They also have cooked food next to the cashier, which looked soo good.. The ONE thing that got me, they have FRESH FAT NOODLES! Omg - my family and I will normally travel from live oak to Sacramento for that, but to know that they have it here in Chico - game changer... anddd they get fresh deliveries every Sunday.! Will definitely be coming here to grab some when the family wants noodle days (Kasoy ) Overall- a really good little Asian market. If you're looking to make a specific dish - you can definitely find all the ingredients here. Since it's so much closer to us, we will definitely be coming back for our Asian ingredients or needs...
Hidden gem Variety of things from dry to fresh to frozen and hard goods Owners are super friendly and helpful Prices were totally reasonable, ask and they will help find things that meet your budget
I'm from Sac where Asian food is easy to find. Moved up here and finally found this place. I have picked up pork buns, furikake, Ube buns, fantastic mushrooms, bin bin crackers, fresh spring rolls, and multiple other Asian foods. So happy to have a local place to meet our needs!
Wow, what a find and they are so helpful! Great selection of Asian goods. Some items are impossible to find otherwise. I like to buy fresh gai lan, whole taro, Thai peppers, fresh noodles, whole birds with the head, whole fish, Shaoxing Wine, spicy canton, some snacks. We drive over 40 minutes to get here but it's certainly worth it. I so very appreciative to have this grocery option without having to drive to Sacramento. I highly recommend to anyone!
I'm from the Bay, and I felt right at home when I walked in. Hue, the young man at the register chatted with me like we were old friends as he helped me find everything I needed to make spring rolls. Everyone is super friendly and I feel great supporting this local business. I wish I came on a day when their inventory was replenished with snacks and chips, but I found some fresh ube buns that satisfied my craving.
Great variety of items to choose from, and unbeatable prices. The staff is super friendly and helpful.
I love this place. It offers me peace just being able to be near all of the wonderful products they provide for this town. Things I could only find in Chinatown Sf . I'm easily able to Procure really awesome produce, teas, mochi, taro products, fresh herbs. Sweet jackfruit. And Thai young coconuts!!! A total hidden oasis. The guy at the front is so nice and helpful. Doesn't breathe down your neck. Knows so much about all the different products. Can shave fresh green mango for you if u call in advance. The Thai basil scent is intoxicating. Beautiful vibes!
