Such a great place to shop for East Asian groceries! They just get better and better by the year. The new remodel has everything bright, shiny, and pulled-together. I do miss the nice manager who always chatted to my kids, and them giving my kids a lollipop for free. It feels less friendly and personal than it did in the half dozen or so years after opening. Please don't get too big to be kind to your customers.
I come here for my radish kimchi needs. I also like picking up bottles of corn silk, barley and oriental raisin tea. It seems I always buy a few more things than I planned. Lots of cool stuff!
New in town, wonderful market very comparable to the one in Evansville. The workers are nice to me and help me if I need anything!
Big store, but less of a selection in comparison to the other market in town. At least for the items I seek to purchase.
Great market they were not yet having these items and got them for me and others. If they don't have it they will get it for you Hu
We are so lucky to have this resource in Bloomington. My kids have gotten really excited lately about snacks shipped from Japan and other places. The monthly subscription costs for these types of things can be very high, however. The B-Town market has great candy and snacks. It also has ingredients for cooking, like soy sauce, Ramen noodles, and sesame seed oil. I love this store!
This market is clean and well maintained. There are wide varieties of food and drinks that are sold there. The staff are the most helpful and the friendliest people to talk to. I will be going back there in the future and I would highly recommend this place to all of my friends.
Fantastic! I'm from San Diego, California (we don't say Cali in California). We have several Asian markets, but not one has the unique variety of food stuff as this market. I love Zhongzi aka Chinese Tamales (rice dumplings), but not one Asian market in San Diego carries them. I have to go to Los Angeles to meet my craving for these tasty dumplings. I was surprised to find them here in Indiana! I taste tested the ones I bought: one pork & the other red bean paste. They were both good. The ones I'm used to are filled with more ingredients like water chestnuts, hard boiled egg, baby corn and sweet potato. The ones from the market only have one main ingredient, like pork or bean paste. I recommend eating both at the same time, mixing the flavors together. I also recommend this market for any Asian flavors you might be looking for and/or to try out new delicious foods!
Love love love this place!! You need various Asian foods for cooking? You want ready made foods, steamed buns etc...yummy candies? They have it! Clean. Organised. And if you can't find what you're looking for? Just ask!! It fun being the only "white" ppl. Took me back to growing up and always being in NYC Chinatown..It makes me sad I don't live closer
