Great place to feel just like home!The people are nice and informative.I always find the things I need to make my recipes.With everything fresh I give this 100 stars.The food is outstanding👌 👏
This is a excellent Vietnamese market for many dishes. Vietnamese being such tasty and culinary inspired food. I love to sit in the eatery inside absorbing true culture.
This place was bustling with people. It also had a little restaurant inside as well with a nice dining room where exhausted shoppers or those just looking to grab a good bite, the food looked tasty. The store has a bunch of exquisite stuff that I would not find anywhere else. Like build your own Japanese candies and snacks. New types of ramen and interesting snacks and sauces. I would definitely recommend coming here.
Have a lot of things and a restaurant inside the store. They have dried fish and seafood frozen. They also have fresh veggies as well.
If youre looking for any Asian foods, spices, etc thats a great place to go. You can also enjoy some tasty] prepared morsels also and theyre good even if you dont know what you are eating, better that way you wont shy away or turn up your nose if it looks different but is very tasty. Must visit.
Great store to buy your Asian supplies, frozen, dried, canned, sauces, spices etc. Dont overlook the kitchen, they have a variety of dishes available in the kitchen to include roast pig. There are a number of dishes available to including pho, Banh mi sandwiches spring rolls with are great. They always have fresh squid, shrimp and fish. Pretty good vegetable selection. Cooking supplies and neet dishes to choose from.
This place is my new GoTo for all foods Asian/Oriental. Great selection, well organized, fresh, and reasonably priced. I agree that “Service with a Smile” is definitely not their practice, but they’re Asian. In many cases, unless you are Asian or unless they know you, you do not get the welcoming committee. As long as you realize that you are not in an American store, you’ll appreciate the store for what it is. BTW I’m half Korean.
We got Wonton and Bien Do soup today. The noodles were sticky and the meat smells funky. Place is full of flies and dirty. Dont think we are going there again.
I bought a bag of rice at Bien Dong last week, but when I opened it, I saw bugs are all over. Today, I went to the store, told them and showed them the picture of it. I only wanted to refund or exchange to a new bag. Unfortunately, the guy working there gave me a hard time with awful customer service. I didn’t mean to make it a big deal, but that guy was very mean, rude and impolite. I don’t care he is a manager, owner or worker, but he needs to learn about customer service.The rice having bugs is not my fault, stop being disrespectful. I don’t want to hear your explanation about the bugs. I want you to learn how to treat your customers with respect and polite.
Great little Asian store. You can find most of your Asian be cooking supplies here. Fresh foods too.
We finally tried them a couple of months ago and wish we had done it sooner. We now stop by several times a week. Their Pho is the best Ive ever eaten the chicken and rice is equally as good. The roasted duck and roasted pig are something we buy at least once a week. The spring rolls are amazing! And the bubble tea is definitely one of our favorites.
Had almost everything I was looking for. Staff real knowledgeable about their products. Its a plus theres a hot food section there
There are great selection of all variety of can foods from all over asia. The quality of the vegetables are fresh and never stale since it runs out every day. There is an indoor restaurant if you want to eat after you shop or just go there to get something to eat to go. They run a promotion from time to time.
Assortment of items was amazing. Found everything I needed to attempt to prepare my own Pho.Staff was helpful with finding items.
Wide range of Asian food items including produce. Affordable prices. Sit-down eatery inside, with cooked meals served; I will return to sample the menu real soon!
One of my favorite stores. Great place for fresh produce (especially kinds that are hard to find in most other places in town), great ingredients, spices, meals, and delicious snacks. The deli is always fresh and good as well. Great place to shop and try familiar things to new things :)
Their Bun Bo Hue is the best! I get a lot of my ingredients here and they always give you a 10% discount.
Just relocated from SoCal where Asian markets are plentiful. So far, this is the best I can find in the area. They have everything we need to cook authentic Thai food with the exception of pad saew noodles.
I came here for the Boba tea and they did not disappoint. They also have lots of really great Asian groceries too.
Has the best thai-boba tea! Great little market and the food is authentic and delicious!
I get some basics you cant find elsewhere like 5 lb bags of sesame seeds, msg-free kimchi, Korean red pepper paste. Lots of fresh greens and unique items.
DELICIOUS!!! I have been looking for a good place to have pho and I am so glad I ordered it here. I cant wait to eat more from the menu here, the roasted pork rice A+. Not to mention all the items that you can buy and enjoy at home. Every time I go in I always have a bag of my favorite things to nibble on when I get home.
In my family we have food allergies and it is a lot easier to shop at the Oriental Market to find the items that we need for the individual allergies of each member of the family Im grateful that bien dong is set up the way it is where I can come in and read ingredients on the packages staff is always been very nice and attentive I like shopping at bien dong
Awesome asian market. Good selection and decent prices!
Love to shop here. They will bring in foods that they dont carry if information given. I am from Hawaii and miss our foods there. Biden Dong is a good place for me.
Great pho and a wide variety of asian foods.
First time here and LOVED the variety of items. Going to make some miso ramen and needed some bonito flakes and seaweed to make the dashi broth.
Friendly staff and very clean, I highly recommend.
Customer service is bad, but they have items that other stores dont. The deli has decent food. The wonton noodle soup is very good. However, watch them while youre checking out if youre buying a lot of stuff. Theyve been caught on multiple occasions by multiple people ripping them off by swiping things too many times. If you buy 1, they might charge you for 2. Shady business practice.
I like to go here every once in a while for the Pho and lumpia rolls. Theyre lumpia rolls are good but I would like them fresh.
Wonderful! The store is clean and neat. Everything is in order and it makes the shopping so easy. The fresh crab and fresh shrimp are also at good prices.
The restaurant food is spot on. The variety of food is great.
Delicious!!! The pho here is amazing! Great broth and great cuts of meat! Plenty of fixings for the pho as well. Canned drink or bottled water was included with the pho. I also got some of the pork which was delicious. They have a great selection in the supermarket part as well. Canned Thai tea! Yum! This place has become a Pensacola favorite of mine!
Great place to shop for different foods
Love this place, There is a wide variety of products available, there is also a diner on site that makes delicious Pho (Vietnamese noodle soup) with choices of Beef, chicken, shrimp or all 3. You can also purchase woks, knives, mortar and pestle, herbs, all sorts of things. Stop in and definitely try the food.
Great market! Clean and easy to navigate. Ill definitely be doing a lot of shopping here.
I really like this story. It has great variety and great prices and the people that work there are very nice. I always enjoy going to this store
Nice little market for some imported snacks and foods, with a nice little deli too! They had a great variety of products! Ill definitely be visiting more often!
The place is awesome. Hard to find items are there! Cant wait to try the restaurant
The go to place for Filipina cooking ingredients !
I made it out without spending $100. Barely.
Friendly place with a wide selection of Oriental food, spices, and goods.If I am ever looking for something and I cant find it at Publix or Walmart I usually come here and can normally find it.My only real complaint, which isnt really a complaint, is that they run random discounts and I can never figure out why a discount was applied for one purchase and not the other.
Just picked up a full cooked pig Filipino style...yum
Love the selection and availability. Prices are reasonable. Selections in their restaurant is amazing 👏!!!
I got a Korean cookbook for Christmas and decided to pick out a few recipes and gather the ingredients for them. This market has almost everything you could need! And everything is ordered by region / specialty inside (food for Filipino dishes is grouped together, or Vietnamese, etc.). Everything has a MUCH better price than your standard grocery store as well so I’d recommend coming here even if you aren’t looking for hard to find ingredients. We ordered the Korean bbq plates from the back (they have a kitchen in the back) and it took over 30 minutes for our food, while other ppl who ordered after us received their’s first. I think they honestly just forgot about our order, but they were very apologetic and the food was good. Also, they wheeled half a pig inside the store (I mean a dead frozen pig on a cart through the seating area to the butchers) so that was a bit off putting. Otherwise a great shopping / eating experience.
Unique selection of Asian foods. High quality and great service. A hidden gem on the Westside of Pensacola.
Amazing store, always clean!! Every time I go they have what I need!
This is a store that has everything from the simple ramen to fresh cooked virtnamese food. Large range of quality asian products. Awesome meat selections.
Great selection of all Asian produce, groceries, frozen foods and snacks, not just Vietnamese. Best selection of Asian vegetables in Pensacola, IMHO.
Great place to find all your essential cooking supplies, lots of space to park, and hot food available 🙂
Absolutely one of the best places in Pensacola to shop. Great service, very nice people, great selection and prices.
I love coming to this market. They have a great assortment of food and spices. They have a little restaurant in the back with delicious offerings. I especially love grabbing some of their fresh produce. One of the best markets in town!
One of the friendliest Asian store I’ve been too here in the south. Bien is a nice person and very accommodating.
Slow service for milk tea.Just lack of concern for customer service.Tea was good..
Definitely a gem in a hard to find Asian products area. A lot of yummy ready to eat food and amazing produce
I enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff is helpful n nice . It felt like genuine and had alot of what I was looking for and more !
Its a great grocery store. The family that runs it are super nice. If youre a fan of Asian Deli Foods youre going to end up buying several things. I cant help myself when I visit. Too many good eating Foods. I highly recommend this grocery store and Deli.
They sell ginger tea. And its my go too drink, so if you like ginger go here to buy it.
They have all the asian stuff you need and then some. Their hot and cold foods section near the back is a plus. Everything from pho to Bahn mis to cold noodles and fried items.
Customer service is amazing! Everything is fresh, you see it right there being made. The prices are awesome. I will be back to try more of the menu.
Cashier Cassie Ill give her a 5 but I rate the place with 4 because customer service on the floor wasnt a 5, HOWEVER I need to say that prices are good and on top I received a 10% discount that surprised me once I check my receipt. While Im in town Ill definitely comes BACK!
Wonderful food, owners, service my favorite place for Asian things!
Store was very crowded and long lines, guys need to open earlier to adjust to the demand.
Staff helped me find the 고추장 while helping two other customers at the same time. Much appreciated!
I love shopping at Bien Dong. I can find any ingredients I need for Asian inspired recipes along with a lot of basic grocery items. Ive also found many cooking tools very reasonable. The only reason for four stars instead of five is the tightness of the aisles.
They were kind, and had plenty of items for you to choose. I will return.
Amazing service great Pho. By far the best duck Ive ever had
Has everything I could want. Friendly, well stocked.
Will definitely be back.
Good pho #$%
I stop at every Asian market that I find, but Bien Dong market is the only one that I shop at on a regular basis. They have a very large selection of groceries, including fresh produce, fresh meats and seafood as well as a deli with indoor seating and prepared meals if you are in a hurry. Prices are very reasonable. They also have a good selection of kitchenware. The store is well organized. My only problem is that the shopping carts are so small (I am a big guy). They also serve the most wonderful roast pork Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Authentic Korean, Japanese and Chinese foodstuffs. Great service and selection.
I just wish people here will know how to treat costumers and smile more. Lol! Seems like they’re having a bad day every single time we’re visit. 😂
The best
Awesome Pho and Bahn Mi!!
Excellent little shop! We will be back.
Great variety of ANYTHING your heart ❤ desires thats oriental!!! I have found everything I need from recipes I have collected over the years. Are so busy that sometimes it is hard to get a question answered, but when you find someone they are very helpful and kind! They seem to always be restocking supplies and can let you know when something will be in that you need! It is a very wonderful store
Everything is fresh and reasonably priced.
Great store in a small town. The restaurant inside is great too. I had a pork banh mi. Unfortunately, I ate it so fast, I didnt get to take a picture. 😋 Its worth a visit.
It has everything you need and the employees are happy to help if you cant find any items.
Authentic Banh Mi
Like the assortment. They are helpful when I want to try new recipes.
Best places for us to buy food. I have been to two markets in Mobile, this is so far Best places to get you food and some of home supply. They have most of things you need with great price. And fishes and vegetables are much fresher, less expensive than others.
Have a great selection, checking out is usually hassle free. Even have a little eatery with a good selection if meals.The down side is that they lack and always have lacked in carrying ANY Korean or Japanese foods or seasonings other than candy or sauces.Aaaaand, -1 star because it is evident no one cleans their bathroom. Ever.
I love this grocery store. I especially love the whole roasted pig that is offered on the weekends. Get there early for it!
Most favorite asain market out there! Best prices and a great selection.
Clean friendly people my wife loves shopping their
Good sized store. Doesnt look that big from exterior. Lots of products at decent prices. Products from most Asian cultures.
Nice, small but remarkably well stocked inventory of Vietnamese and other Asian food products. Tons of fresh vegetables and exotic Asian fruits. They even have a restaurant serving banh mi, roast duck, and roast pork.
Great variety of different ingredients that you can’t find anywhere else. Has a nice little restaurant as well.
I really like this store, there are many things available here that you cant normally find at a large retail chain. The staff here is also very friendly as well.
