Asian Grocery & African & Indian Grocery

lovely shop.. many s.e.asian pantry items and produce. well kept shop, clean and well lit. friendly employees and prices being what they are everywhere it's comparable...

I have lived in this city my whole life which is 54 years and this is the first year I've known about this store. Because I don't live all that close I can't get out there as often as I'd like but this was my second trip out there and they have some stuff that other Asian stores don't have that I have been looking for for 20 years and only wish I would have known about these guys because they've had it for that long. You will not go wrong if you go to this store.

Around the pandemic I started really focusing on cooking. A lot of my favorite Asian restaurants have left the Toledo area and I can't help but get a craving for good authentic Chinese, Thai, or even Korean food. On a whim I searched google for Asian groceries and found this place. It was in a mini mall around a lot of road construction but I'm glad I didn't let that dissuade me.

First, the proprietor that is always there is just a delight! She's kind and thoughtful and helps you with recipes. I could walk in there and say the name of a recipe and she would walk me around the store pointing at every bottle and noodle and sauce I might need. She'll also give you some quick basics on how to prepare it.

It's small but jam packed with everything you need to create an amazing dish. Make sure you don't leave without some Laoganma spicy chili crisp and try the frozen aisle for dumplings and unique treats. There's a great little snack food area too and canned fun drinks. I make a point to grab something different I haven't tried every time I visit. This store is worth a trip (even if you don't have a recipe in mind) to find something remarkable and surprising to try.
