Oriental Market is such an awesome store! They have SO MUCH to choose from. From fresh fruits & vegetables, portable grills, self heating pots all the way to skin care products. I love that they even have a nice vegetarian food selection. They even sell BANANA BUBBLE TEA!!! Theres a HUGE candy selection and their prices are really reasonable as well! Ill definitely be coming back to this store in the future. I definitely recommend giving this store a visit. I probably spent a good hour and a half looking at everything. So many things here that are really hard to find anywhere else.
With new renovations, New Oriental Mart looks Super awesome!! I have been there and I am super impressed with the fresh produce, fresh meat, large variety of snacks and also with the good customer services! This is the best grocery store in east lansing that I would like to go!! Highly recommend. Everybody should give a try with its fresh look inside and out!😁
I havent been here in over a year and its greatly improved. The remodeling work looks good. A very good selection best I know of in Michigan outside of Detroit area.
Love. This. Place. I enjoy cooking different Asian meals, and this is the best place to find some of the more difficult to find ingredients. Amazing selection of items from several regions and countries, including an impressive selection of snacks, oils, dried goods, sauces, produce, meats, drinks, and much more, all at very reasonable prices. The store itself is very clean, organized, and overall very well kept. My biggest suggestions to those who visit is to give yourself ample time to explore, and perhaps have a translation app on hand. While all items have an English nutritional/ingredient label added, Most items main label will be in the language from which they came. Some have English, but many do not. All in all, I highly, HIGHLY, recommend checking this place out.
The aisles are nicely organized by product type. The staff are courteous and efficient. Ill have to try the food court when I go back to stock up on supplies 😁
Awesome place to get all your Asian food needs. My wife is half Japanese and grew up in Japan, so we eat a lot of Asian food. I love Asian food and this store. The updates are very nice as well. We get so many great food items here. The best Asian food store in the area for sure.
Clean and neat. Good selection for a small town. Little pricey but happy I can get what I need
Always enjoy coming here!! Japanese snacks galore!
Ive been shopping here for nearly ten years and its always been an amazing store just packed to the gills with cool stuff. Theyve recently upgraded the store quite a bit and its very shopper friendly with clear labeling on the shelving. The produce and meats are super fresh. Lots of imported goods that you cant find elsewhere in town, especially snacks. Also their bakery items are delicious, I got a red bean bread that was so so fluffy. Absolutely recommend checking this place out.
They renewed the place and now the place is looking awesome. Now, they have a wide variety of everything you are looking for in an Oriental market. They even have bakery, food and fresh fish which is awesome. Definitely going there more often.
Very nice new look and clean location. Reminds me of an Asian Whole Foods.
Super nice. Produce was very fresh. Its like the old oriental mart on steroids.
Outstanding. Tremendous variety and top quality. Their fresh vegetables keep longer.
Many great options, friendly staff, very clean store. Enjoy shopping here for more authentic foods.
This store is amazing! Huge with an unbelievable selection of items from many countries. Wow.
This place has changed ownership (from old-school Oriental Mart to Fresh International Market-owned, a chain). It shows in both good and not so good ways-- the interior was immensely improved and updated, with little on-demand restaurant/dessert items and a café, new light fixtures and a pretty significant face-lift. There is, and always has been, a great selection of products there.However, some vegetables arent quite as fresh as they used to be, and prices have increased markedly (and are more expensive than some alternatives). Items of note include the same brand of a 50lb bag of rice, over $8 more than at a competitor, rambutan (which also did not look the best) over $3/bag more, and little markups on almost all shelf-stable products (noodles and candies especially).
Best selection of Asian groceries in the area. Also occasionally better prices on veggies and some meats. Havent really had a chance to check out the new bakery or hot foods.I miss the fresh eggrolls, but I think theyre just not available because self-serve vanished from most places due to COVID.
Everytime I go to this market it is always clean. The staff is polite and everyone is so friendly.
Large variety of fresh vegetables and meats the fish are still swimming.. great staff.
Theyve finally reopened and it was definitely worth the wait! The store has been completely remodeled and expanded with a fresh, more upscale look. Theres still the large selection of Asian packaged foods, with expanded produce and meat/seafood departments. Theyve also added a hot food counter with everything from tasty lamb, beef, or pork skewers for under $2 to whole roast ducks for $30. Theres also sushi, boba, lots of ready-to-eat cold food, and a bakery counter. This place has been my favorite Asian market for years and its wonderful to see them back and better than ever!.
You will find asian stuff here. Live crab, fish, weird fruit, seaweed, sushi kit,...
Good variety and prices. Love the ramen section...always something new to try.
Great selection and friendly workers. The fresh veggies are great!
This store has everything oriental! Very good selection. Pretty clean store as well.
Great selection and the staff is great! My wife and I were trying to figure which flavor Squid we wanted and couldnt figure it out, when one of the younger staff went out of her way to read all the flavor to us! It was super nice of her and was above and beyond!
Neat market with a varied assortment of foreign food items. Amazing assortment of fish and seafoods as well.
Update!( People please understand Im sure They are working on bettering the store for us the customers! And given covid and all Michigan restrictions its been difficult to keep finishing the work.Im most assured that the owners werent expecting to be down for so long! Have patience, plus isnt it the contractors you should be frustrated with!! I am waiting for this store to open!🎉 So Please stop complaining and saying you will never return because you know you will!😊I definitely am being patient )They are ABSOLUTELY the BEST! They are always so kind and helpful! Always greet us when we arrive! The best prices in town. It is the only place I can find certain items I desire for Asian cuisine. I couldnt speak highly enough. Cant wait to go back to store, when they reopen of course. As they improved the store, but it truly is a gem in a pond of overpriced stones. If I could give a 10 star report I definitely would.
Excellent international market. Well stocked, considering the problems getting international shipping.
Best Asian market in the Lansing area, hands down. Has recently been revamped to offer even more. Now has a bakery, and a cafe which I am definitely looking forward to trying. Prices are a little high, but fair considering the novelty of what is being provided.
Looks fantastic inside after the remodel, have yet to try any of the food being served but the selection of groceries seems bigger. My son and I go monthly to stock up and we were fiendin during the long remodel, glad to see it back open again and thriving.
The selection is so great it is overwhelming to just browse. If you know youre going there to shop make a list because they have so much to see youll forget what you came for.
Living in mid-Michigan, theres a real dearth of anything really diverse...unless youre of the BOTH kinds of music...Country AND Western mindset. So, Ive been really missing a GOOD oriental supermaket on the order of Ranch 99 in California. This place fills the bill...100%.
Amazing place for asian food. The products are fresh, and this asian store is super clean. Doesnt smell like any other average asian store.
The remodel is nice. Great selection.
A one stop shop for Asian grocery and fresh products with wide variety including bakery and steamed delicacies
Love the place. The newly remodeled store is beautiful
This is one of my favorite places in Lansing! Such a hidden gem! Prices are great, the store is always clean, and the staff is always so friendly. I cannot recommend this place enough!
The new layout looks gorgeous!! It will take me a while to readjust to where everything is located now but its totally worth it for the new additions.They have everything I need for all my asian food needs. Cant wait for covid to get over so we can get the whole place fully operational!!
Very varied items. Great prices too
Great variety of foods from across the globe.
The food here is usually 40% more expensive than the same one you can find at other places. Have no idea why they increase the price so much.
They are OPEN again! Its so much bigger in terms of space and selection. They have fresh seafood, meat, bakery, produce, bubble tea, sushi, etc ... They also got a liquor license so they sell wine / beer / soju / sake! Pretty good price.
Amazing store with a fresh and modern new set up.
This was purchased by someone else & renovated. I think its a bougier version of its former self. I love the red dragon fruit & purple Hawaiian potatoes!
Love the new renovations, lots more great food. They even got fresh breads and pastries from Chicago.
I love this place. Its really nice that many things have english instructions
It has been remodel and has more variety.
Great variety of products. Great service.
Eating area was very sparce on food and bakery section wasnt much better. Largest selection of food if your looking to cook for your self
A great place to shop, reasonable prices, friendly staff, and a great variety
Best variety asian store
They renewal opened last week. Everything; interior, shelves, floor pattern are new. Definitely they have more selections of food items.
Love everything about this renovated place except the overpriced bakery section. $3 for a small bread and the wrapping has a foul plastic odor that seeped into the bread.
Love the hot food bar. Fish market and various food products you can not find at your typical American markets!
Decent selection. Size is better now that theyve expanded. Friendly employees.
The store has been expanded and fully renovated. Seems to be under new management. And there are more staff, and operates more like a big chain grocery store. There is now an area for prepared/cooked foods as well as Chinese bar-b-q with some of the usual items such as Bbq pork (char siu/shio) ducks, chicken. But unfortunately, with the expansion and staff, the prices are quite high, and the cooked ready to eat food and the bbq items cost the same as ordering from the nearby Chinese Restaurant. (Which is a bit interesting pricing model, because ready to eat food at other chain grocery place tend to be priced much more affordable/lower than picking up from a restaurant.) The pricing strategy may backfire, as the high prices can inhibit repeat customers from impulse purchase of the bbq items and ready to go foods.
Redesign looks great best asian market in central michigan
Great make over. A destination store!
This store was amazing, theres sanitizer on the side of the entrance. theres a lot of products from asian. and excellent service. we will be back for sure.
Even better since the remodel. So many options for many things. Very friendly
The remodeling is a game changer! This place is awesome!!!
Terrible, they said the renovation would take two weeks before they closed and guess what, so many weeks passed and they are still closed. Absolutely no where to find information at all, nothing on the website nothing on social media, definitely will explore other marts and try to avoid them even they reopen.Edit: I have no problem with delayed construction, the whole COVID situation is understandable, yet the owners did the most terrible job in communication with the consumers. Update your info on google maps, your websites, or social media!
Great selection, well organized.
Ive been to many international/asian goods stores all over the country. Im always looking for new ingredients, new flavors - new experiences. Often times this means that the store is a little disorganized or that floors are a little scuffed since they are frequently in older buildings. This place recently got a face lift: the grocery section is well stocked and labeled with many typically-difficult-to-find items like prepared lotus root and chayote, there is a hardware and kitchen implemented section, and if youre looking for snacks and drinks, they have a phenomenal selection. There is a deli and a fish market, and even a cafe and restaurant! The only thing that is missing compared to other asian grocers like Denver, COs Pacific Mercantile is that most drinks are tea or milk-based. Which for me is fantastic, but I know some people love sodas and juices - and perhaps I missed it, but I wouldnt mind taking home some lychee-based soft drinks some time. I digress: this place is more than worth your time.
Called Fresh International Market now, its so amazing inside!
Store still closed, looks like a ton more work to do. But its frustrating that they still show open on Google. I used to love it, but Ive been having to hit the other marts around town. Starting to find what I need in these other stores and forgetting why I ever went out of my way to hit this mart.Ive wasted two trips out here, doubt Im going back. (That comment aged well, at least I said doubt)Still closed as of 12/1...
Had lots of stuff you cant find at your generic grocery store. Looking forward to shopping there again
Do not recommend this place at all.Their service is horrible, probably the worst in whole Lansing area. Cashiers and manager are always rude, treating customers with no courtesy, never smile or greeting or give thanks. They make you feel you own them million dollars. If anything happens, they always accuse customers, never apologize or try to fix and serve better. Talk bad behind customers’s back.Inside it’s dirty. Space is too tight. Layout is ugly and not convenient flow. Products are more expensive than other Asian store too. Sometimes sell expired products, also rotten meat. So be very careful.So try to avoid them if you can. There are so many better options out there.
This is where I go for most of my Asian shopping needs.
Amazing. I went there to buy canned Jackfruit. I found lots of other stuff. All staff were very helpful. They are expanding!
Good selection of seafood.
This store is awesome. Love the new look.
A huge selection, well organized store, friendly staff
Its fun in here
Vast stock of Asian foods!
I went today but the store appears to be empty? Lots of construction going on. I wonder if someone else is moving in. Gonna have to get my stuff somewhere else I suppose.
They had everything I needed to make dumplings and potstickers
The manager lady was very helpful.
Love love love the new remodel, it has everything!
This place blew my mind. Im from a small town and at home, our international food selection has maybe 20 items. Its a great place to find interesting snacks and tons of cooking basics for Asian cuisines. I couldnt believe all the frozen meals! I hope to learn more about cooking other cuisines and Ill be finding ingredients here!
The selection is unbelievable...
Love the selection and updates to the store!
Most clean and organized Chinese store I have been too. Easily found what I was looking for and I believe at a great price. Staff very friendly.
Someone wasnt wearing a mask and one of the people up front informed them that they needed a mask. Thank you for looking out for the public and enforcing the rules. I appreciate it.
Great selection!
We love this place it has lots of stuff including a lot of fresh vegetables and some fresh meats plus tons of spices and all sorts of different Asian foods.
Great selection of food items that you wouldnt find at your normal grocery store. I cant speak too well to how much access you have to things if you are trying to cook the most authentically but I definitely had a lot of materials around that got my head thinking for cooking ideas.
Impressive variety and quality.
Huge selection of many Asian foods and items. This is my favorite Asian Market in Michigan. They have a large selection of fresh produce and live fish and seafood too. In this area usually its hard to find many Japanese items but Oriental Mart carries most of my daily Japanese food needs and have many brands that I use in Japan.
Great selection, friendly and helpful staff. First time here and definitely wont be the last!
Decent selection. Theyre making some changes at the moment. Id give a 5, bit their staff is so unfriendly.
