Fan-freakin'-tastic!\n\nI have been here many times and it never lets me down. This place is fantastic for finding ingredients (regular or hard to find) for homemade Asian food. The prices are much lower than your local supermarket and the selection is out of control. I went to pick up some sesame oil and some other random items today and I wondered how I would manage to select one out of the 30 or so different brands and varieties they have. Luckily, I had a friend with me and we managed to logically deduct ourselves into a selection. \n\nThe bakery is amazing and everything I've had from there is delicious. The produce section is vast as is just about every section in the store. I appreciate that they even have English aisle readings on one side for those of us that can't read characters (Chinese, I think). Today, the smell was pretty stale-fish-like, but I usually don't find it to be like that. I have also seen (but not tried) their sushi-grade prepackaged fish cuts. If I were brave enough to try and make my own sushi (which I am definitely not - let's leave that one to the pros...) I would try it.\n\nThis place is crazy busy pretty much all of the time and the parking lot is 100 times worse. Make use of the secret underground parking garage with a 3 hour limit. It's always empty so wither people don't know about it (until I let the cat out of the bag just now) or they are gluttons for the punishment that is the craziness of the parking lot.\n\nIt's a great place and even if you don't have anything in particular you need, browse around and take a chance on something with no English on it. Study the pictures (they are often very helpful) and who knows, you might just find something you love.
