Literally the best place for students and locals who want diversity in their food. They have ingredients and items from China, Korea, Japan, India, Vietnam, etc to name a few. It's also nice that they have Asian frozen meals (gyudon, bibimbap, etc) and other snacks for the people who can't be bothered to cook. Besides food, one aisle is dedicates to cookware and other household items and beauty products (no specific things like Korean BB cream though - just face masks and shampoo stuff). They also sell henna here! \n\nAlthough one thing to note is that they don't carry \"fresh\" meats. It's relatively local (trucked in weekly from Chicago), but since they're so small, they don't have a butcher section to do live cuts. All the meats, whether it's fish, chicken, beef, or pork is wrapped up and frozen. There is a halal meat section in the back corner freezer. \n\nSome of the stuff is overpriced, but some is also very cheaply priced (like the green tea ice cream or hard to find anywhere else produce like lemon grass), so it balances itself out. They have an amazing variety for what is a small store, and it's relatively near campus, so you're not sitting on the bus for an hour to head to Walmart or Green Onion. \n\nI did notice that they do have a $10 minimum for credit cards, but it's fair because it's an independent business and they have to pay a fee for processing credit cards. And like all Asian markets, it is mostly self-serve so don't expect the cashier to answer too many questions or help you look for something. Do your research and know what you're trying to buy!\n\nTo get there, simply take the 120 Teal. It's just down the street from the stop at First and White.
