Asia Market

they have converted me! I used to go to Tan-​A but now I only do my shopping for Asian groceries here. The owners are very personable and kind. They have a great selection of necessities as well as extra. Their prices are fairly reasonable and I always find everything I need. If you haven’t stopped by here, check it out.

BEST IN SERVICE! Easily one of the most pleasant shopping experiences I’ve ever had. I first went to this store back in January to see if they had anything good to whip up a nice tasty soup, and I’ve never been let down since. The dad of the family that owns the store saw my ingredients, walked me through the store to find even better ingredients than those I’d picked out myself.
Now, I don’t live in the West End anymore, but I absolutely have no problem driving 20 minutes out of my way and paying the Powhite tolls and fighting West End traffic just to shop here. I come at least once a month. It’s clean, spacious and well-​ventilated, and a much more comfortable shopping environment (also doesn’t have the awful rotting meat stench that another Asian market on Broad Street has. To be fair, there’s no butcher here, but still…) The selection, though not as wide as aforementioned other Asian market with horrible smell and service, keeps expanding little by little every time I visit. That, to me, means they actually listen to their customers and meet their demands. They’re gonna put the other place out of business soon, you watch! The family that runs this store is just what this city needed: so friendly and helpful, they make you feel as though they are glad to have you there!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this new market! The owners are super friendly and excited to welcome you. The store is very clean! Even my ex-​husband, who is Asian, said it is the cleanest he has ever seen! It seems they keep adding more products once they see what people need/​want. Prices seem on par with other markets or slightly higher on some items. Pricing for veggies are better than the typical grocery stores.

FINALLY, another alternative than that other store. I was happy I didn’t have to drive to the other side so I went in to get a few things I needed, ginger, thai basil, rice noodles. The owner pleasantly surprised me. I went to the register and she looked at the bag of thai basil i grabbed. She said, hmm, not as fresh, I will go to the back and get you a new one. Asian people don’t do that, and I’m asian! haha. This place shows customer service which the other doesn’t. The also take credit card. I paid cash anyway because I like to help small businesses save on card fees. I will always come to this place first for all my needs. The prices are about the same. I think the other place got too big for their britches. I hope people will understand the difference between this place and the other and support them, as they are a lot more friendly and caring to their customers.

This place is simply AMAZING. I couldn’t believe the selection and was even more pleasantly surprised by the fair prices. The staff is extremely friendly also, offering small talk at the register upon checkout. Looking forward to coming here more in the future! Goods are available from a wide range of countries. Big selection of Japanese products, which are harder to find in Richmond than the typical Vietnamese and Chinese.

The owners of this market are so pleasant! The market has great prices on meats and fish and carries very fresh vegetables. You won’t see a huge display of fish and meats but it seems the only have what they need on display. Definitely a good stop for some oriental shopping on the west end.

So happy to see this Asian Market open up within a mile of my home! The staff and family that own it are so friendly and helpful. The store is new, clean and has decent inventory for just opening. I will continue to frequent it to see what they add. We have been 3 times so far and each time they have a little more inventory.

Very clean, good variety for just starting out store. Very helpful and friendly family run store

Folks in the West End no doubt are happy now to have an Asian market like this one based on the crowded parking lot at 10 a.m. this morning!
They seem to have everything all of the other stores have, and they take cards.
They don’t have a butcher, though. All of the meat is frozen. And their prices are definitely on the high side. The store is also carpeted. That’ll be interesting after a few spills.
When on this side of town, I’ll stop in, but Far East and Tan-​A will likely still be my preferred Asian groceries.
