I cant believe the selection of quality, hard to find items that are crammed into this relatively tiny store. The products are amazing quality and a fraction of the costs that you would be paying for these items if you bought them online. I would recommend this store to anybody; the vibe is totally unpretentious and relaxed and the owner is funny and so welcoming. She answered all my questions and then some and helped me find everything I needed. Cant recommend this place enough. 10/5 stars if I could.

Such a nice and efficient store owner with a great sense of humor! I had placed my order via phone and upon my arrival at the store asked the owner a few questions. She was super helpful and knowledgeable and even gave us some sample Chinese candies! The bean sprouts were the freshest Ive ever purchased! Thank you!

Alex the owner is awesome! She is so friendly & helpful. The store may be small but it carries most essential Asian things. I am able to get my Indonesian groceries including kecap AB and Indomie.

Ive never been here until during this pandemic. Therefore i was unaware alex was doing only curb side pick up. So i go up to the door she greets me very nicely and when i said i didnt have an order i was looking for a few things she explained she was doing curbside pick up and how to order in the future. However she still let me tell her what i was looking for and went and got every ingredient even things i spotted that i love (like ramune) and i was like oh you have those too! Lol 😂. She got everything very quickly and efficiently was very very kind. Also shes very knowledgeable and answers many questions! Highly recommend her store! (By the way anyone giving her any less then 5 stars you need to reevaluate yourselves 😂 lmao) This women alone is great, her and her store are worth at the very least 10 stars! However google only lets me give 5. Step up your game google lol.

Very helpful staff! Had list of things to get for recpies they helped be find everything. Its reasonably priced. They even gave me a little advice and answered some questions I had about the recipes I wanted to make. Even if you think you are not interested in Asian cuisine, you should discover some recipes and try them out. You wont regret it!

When I first found myself in Potsdam, NY, I marvelled that there was actually a grocery store specific to Asian foodstuffs. I continued to marvel that as I perused the aisles I found mostly everything I would expect for Japanese cooking. Tsuyu, soy sauce, gobo, dried shiitake, red pepper flakes, seaweed (not just the snacks but all different varities), dashi stock, the really good instant ramen cups (the ones that are like $3 or $4 a pop - NOT Cup Noodles), handmade dumplings...and shes got homemade kimchi which is really good. So happy this store is here. Plus, on weekends you can find pre-made goods from the Chinatown in Ottawa (she makes the trip).
