One of my favorite places to shop in town. Every time I come I end up with another cooking utensil, bowl, or chopsticks set. I never leave without a bag of steam buns.One thing that makes Better World stand out is that they have a great variety of produce that is not found in other groceries and it is always fresh.

Huge selection. Almost anything you need to make Japanese dishes can be found here. Reasonable prices and friendly staff.

This is a large market for the area, with that said it’s very cluttered and disorganized. The aisles are narrow making it feel crowded and difficult to find items. Many of the items are priced higher than chain American grocery stores. Some items are cheaper, especially items like fish sauce that can be purchased in larger bottles. They have Asian vegetables than can be difficult to find. They have Asian type proteins, but they are quite expensive. I’m going to guess there are multiple fire and health code violations. Aisles and doorways are blocked, there was an open freezer no covering with food in it that had no covering, completely exposed people could just walk by and pick the food out. I’ve never seen a frozen cooler like that, nothing was labeled. They have kitchen utensils and supplies. They have a small kitchen in the back that cooks food but the menu is in Chinese only? It’s quite apparent they are not interested in American English speaking customers and want to stick with their Asian/Chinese heritage thus locking out most Americans. There were employees standing outside smoking. I’m not sure that I will return. 2 little bags of stuff was 67.00 and only 1 protein.

This is one of the most complete Asian food stores in town. They have a bit of everything and their prices are very competitive.We werent big fans of the little restaurant in the back. It seems quite popular, though, so it might be a matter of taste. Almost every dish was full of bones, which I guess makes it authentic.

This is an outstanding Chinese market. My wife is from Chongqing and she can buy all of the ingredients and fresh vegetables to prepare authentic dishes. The prices are a bit higher than the markets in Chicago but it costs money to ship all this stuff from China. Just having it available is greatly appreciated.

Managed to find1. Irvins salted egg yolk chips2. Khong guan biscuits3. Milkis4. Ramune5. 合味道 cup noodles6. Fujiya nectar tsubutsubu peachAs a Singaporean, im satisfied.

Pros:-You can find a lot of asian food product right here.-Convenient.-Open in most of holidays.-Popular items in other asian market will eventually appear in this shop.Cons:-They tried to save the cost since the competitor next to them shutdown 2 years ago.eg. They recently use a very thin plastic bag and it is difficult to carry heavy items.-They are increasing price over the past 4 years.For popular items, they will provide a large amount of alternative band (not the famous one).- Few cashiers are very rude (The chance is about 1/3 ). Some of them are okay.- There have nice food but generally store in employee only fridge (near the restaurant). The sliced meat for customer to buy looks this (see attached photos).

Great place with great deals on a wide variety of eastern Asian foods!

Wish there was more Japanese stuff but still good regardless

If you are looking for authentic Chinese food, I highly recommend Better World. I love the food here. When I order carry out, it comes with a complimentary soup(very tasty as always). I love it!!!

Best grocery in town for those hard to find ingredients for asian style recipes.

The nicest people and its always easy to find what youre looking for!

Helpful if you need it. Great restaurant in the back. Theyve got a massive selection of about anything you cant find elsewhere. Lots of fresh meats. Large selection of fresh veggies. Cookware. The items also have discription in English. They accept cards. Their prices are fair. I love going there!

Found the ingredients I needed to make pork rib and lotus root soup. I got to live my best Untamed life lol

They have amazing things! Things you can get in everyday super markets is very over priced. The stuff you cant have amazing prices!I have been about 10 times and I can honestly say they arent the friendliest but you arent going there for customer service. Be warned the employees will keep walking whether you move or not. They do wear masks but when doing grocery orders personal space isnt a thing. Like I said you arent going there for customer service.

Nice sized asian market. Wide variety of goods.

Great place for Asian products. They carry some ceramic rice bowls, Ramen bowls, chopsticks and other Asian utensils along with grocery items. They have a pretty big selection of fresh seafood and meats. A large selection of Chinese noodles and different varieties of rice. Quite a large selection of Asian snack foods from abroad and closer to home (seaweed lays, etc.) A lot of different, hard to find, Ramen flavors. This is mainly China-centric but they do have some Japanese items as well. I was able to find adzuki beans and good quality matcha for making anko mochi.

Great selection, very nice staff.

This place holds a lot of useful grocery items that students might need if they plan on making food at their own living space. It is one of the very few grocery store on campus so I go here pretty often to purchase my items. They sell a lot of international items that are not too over priced, and their vegetables are relatively fresh. Definitely check out the snack and ramen section because there are so many things worth trying!

Terrible cashier. Stop playing you cellphone while there are tons of people waiting. I asked the cashier nicely not to throw heavy bottles on the vegetable and she just reply me “what can I do, there is no space left”You don’t need a PhD to know packaging heavy stuff first and put the light one on it if you don’t have enough space. Use your godamm brain

Larger than expected, clean store, very well stocked. Everyone was wearing a mask.

So many amazing unique things!

Absolutely love the Asian markets. Never know what new things you can find and try!

I really enjoy this place both to buy something or to understand more about Asian cultures through their food. To me, it is always an experience that could be enhanced by them if there would be something like a monthly guided visit with examples of food, for example

Good thing (for a fish lover): They have a wide varieties of fish.Bad thing: They dont preserve the raw fishes properly. So most of the time I got rotten and smelly fishes. I wonder why they dont buy a good freezer!All the other packed stuffed are fine and most of the veggies are pretty fresh.

The store is great but the cashier that checked me out is super rude. I just finished paying and was taking TWO SECONDS to put my card back and she said: Can you hurry up? Theres line. The receipt hadnt even finished printing! Unbeileveable.

This market is the best in west Lafayette! I love it so much and will be coming back.

Love the variety but things are more expensive than other Asian stores. Hated how deceiving prices of things are tagged. Totally unclear and my husband and I had to spend more than 15 minutes trying to find the price of the squid based on the barcode as there have more than 15 different types of squid price tags on the fridge but nothing on the product!!

Great to have this place in WL to get international food options. But if youre not Chinese, be prepared for everyone to stare at you and low talk when you walk by them. Not the most welcoming store but I can get past it for how much better it makes Chinese cooking

I really dont shop there. Went with my daughter who shops there a lot. The place was very clean and the staff seemed very nice.

Love shopping here! Extremely friendly!

Lots to find there and lots to see employees are varry nice and will help you find what your looking for and there fish is as fresh as fish can get

Every time I bought meat from here, the meat is not fresh at all

Really not sure what Nate Seltos is smoking - I speak exactly zero Chinese and dont have a problem navigating. Some products can be more expensive than in American chain grocery stores (such as cookware), but I should think the reason youre there is to get items they dont have. Also, the vegetables are extremely reasonably priced; I always find myself spending less than I would have at Kroger or Meijer on the same items. No idea how he spent $67, I can hardly spend $25 there. If you cant understand Chinese, use Google Translate or ask for help - though Ive never had to do either, as the labels tend to be in both English and Chinese. Overall its a really nice place with an impressive selection of goods that I cant get elsewhere, and their sanitization standards are far above American chain groceries (a huge plus in this pandemic).Oh, and if you want the English menu? Ask for it. ;)

Rude cashiers and Kim chi cap did not seal unsafe food and The whole place smell like rotten meat

Good people and they had fresh thai peppers, Thank you!

We dont have HMart in Lafayette but this is just as good

Definitely the best Asian grocery in the greater Lafayette area. The store is fairly large, and they have lots of products from many different Asian countries, with a bias toward chinese food. They also have fresh/frozen fish, and sliced hotpot meat.

Friendly staff, good prices, and good selection. Well worth your time to stop by.

The clear Superior of the two Asian markets in West Lafayette. Good variety of produce, seasoning, sauces, packaged foods, and fresh meat/seafood not found at local grocery stores. Prices on most things are reasonable given that context. They have a small restaurant in the back (no English menu tho), and only slightly sketchy public restrooms. There is a five or ten dollar minimum purchase if you use a card. The only downside is that its typically pretty difficult getting assistance finding things or having questions answered if youre an English-only speaker.

A variety or products on hand and well organized.

Incredible variety for the size of the store! I just wish that I could have found the honey dew melon drink mix - my kids really wanted to me to make some bubble tea of this flavor!

I visited the store very frequently. The cashier has very bad attitudes.

Theyve got a huge variety of Asian grocery goods, especially for a small college town. Pretty much everything from the good brands of ramen (Shin black), dry goods, and produce theyve got.Theres even a small restaurant in the very back serving up some great food!

Good selection

Good price, has a lot ot Asian foods

This is a five star asia market for a college town. This market is new and big.

This store has a lot of options and great prices. Ive always been able to find what Im looking for. Plus the kids love to see the crabs and fish.

Best asian market in town

Very clean and organized store with very friendly employees and lots of options

Great selection!!

Great little store for authentic asian foods

If you are looking for anything ASIAN, this is the place to go. It seemed like they had everything: fish cakes, dumplings, sauces, rice crackers, noodles, and snacks you can only (usually) get living overseas. There is also a hidden little cafe inside that I will be checking out soon.

Truly authentic food, awesome taste, and generous portions. (I am a German, and lived in China for 5 years, so I know it is the same food you would get all over China.) Walk through the shop, and you are there. There are friendly and certainly speak several languages.Like in China, they have separate rooms for private dinners.

Best Chinese supermarket in the town. Also one of the top Chinese restaurant nearby with a reasonable price.Don’t buy their sliced beef except for hotpot. It is too thin to cook and only suitable for hotpot.

A lot of Asian food. Convenience the price is a bit higher than other supermarket in West Lafayette.

If you are heavily into Asian cuisine and cooking, this store will have everything you will need.It is clean, well-organized, and has a great selection of Asian foods, snacks, condiments, and kitchen needs. Everything from lumpia to paper-thin sliced meats (for hot-pot, soups or meat dishes), dipping sauce to hand soap, serving platters to meat-filled dumplings.

Pricey but varied

My wife is vietnamese and it had nearly everything we needed

Incredibly rude staff. The girl at the checkout treated us like garbage even though we were PAYING CUSTOMERS.

If youre looking for Chinese, Japanese, or Korean food this is the best place in town to get it. Good prices, fresh selection, and large variety. Its also a great place if youre looking to get into Eastern style cooking.

I love this Asian grocery store. I can get quality rice noodles and Asian vegetables at a very fair price; plus it is fun to see all the ethnic foods and ask questions about how they are used and try them in new recipes. The service is friendly but not many people speak English but that is kind of a neat experience. There is a 5 dollar minimum like at most ethnic grocery stores.

I love this place for seasonal asian fruits such as jack fruits, longan, red meat dragon fruit etc. You have to be at the right time of the season to get them fresh. Price is on the bit higher side but they vary it based on the freshness of the product. I recommend this place.

Wide variety of selection, but their service is not as friendly as a regular grocery store

One of the best Asian markets close to the Purdue campus. Wide selection, fair prices, nice veggie selection, chilled meat and fresh seafood selection is a nice addition. Has almost anything you would want from an asia mart. Great!

They mostly have Chinese food with some Korean and Japanese. They sell Chinese drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. For vegetables, bok choy, green mustard, and even sea weed are sold. Chinese desserts and freshly baked pastries are also available. Google pay can be used there, but they didnt know it works.

Nice place. Good service. Lots and lots and lots of delicious snacks. Secret Chinese restaurant in the back.

This is one of the nicest, clean and organized Asia stores Ive ever been to. They carry everything I typically buy at an Asia store and the prices are great. I sure wished theyd expand!

Great variety, nice prices. Nearly anything you need.

Lived in Indy and now in Lafayette. I cant believe I can find a Chinese supermarket comparable to it and cleaner. Prices are a bit higher than Chicago but similar to Indy. Overall this store supports the decently large Chinese and Asian community that lives on campus and Lafayette.

Great selection of Asian and other foods, I cant wait to visit their restaurant!

Great selection of stuff you cannot find elsewhere locally. Seems to be the only store in the area that knows what Thai basil is, and always has it fresh and in stock.

I can find real legit Chinese products here! Best product selections in town, especially if you are into hot pot. But it is a bit pricy.

Good selection but many things are 10~20% more expensive compared to other college town markets. The restaurant in it is amazing. Authentic Chinese taste!

A wide collection of goods. One-stop store for asian foods and seasonings. But they are secretly increasing price over the past half year (maybe longer, I didnt notice before). I will support more of its competitors. Hold on!

This is a great groceryI had a few questions and one of the staff took time to talk with me. Extremely helpful and friendly! I will rerurn.

Not too bad for a wide array of Chinese food

My favorite world market in the area. The foods are reasonably priced, nicely organized, and always stocked. And the staff members are friendly.

The pokis are great! I also got other types of chocolates from there.

Lots and lots of Asian food items. Lots of live fish options. Vegetables are fresh. Price is a bit costly for some items.

Best asian supermarket I have ever seen in town. Clean and tidy, nice staff and you can find lots of things you would have to go to Indianapolis or even Chicago to buy in the past few years. Credit card friendly.

Its a good store, but just make sure to double check what they scanned while you are in the store.My problem is I checked after I got home. Plus I usually buy quite a few items, which make it harder to keep track on what item has been scanned. About 80% of the time, I would find something they overcharged me (ex: I got two the same things and they charged me three).Just make sure to double check while in the store, so you dont have the same experience. I really like the place. Just not like being overcharged all the time.

The best market to find specialty items and delicious Asian specialties.

Price is not good. They sometimes ring up the wrong prices or claim their rewards card is not processing. But we don’t have many other good options nearby, yet.

Great place. A little tight going down isles. Had mostly what my wife and I were looking for.

Atmosphere is cool enough. Not really a shop for African groceries though. More Asian than international.

Introduction to Japanese foods and drinks so far Im not disappointed great items.

A great, diverse market with inexpensive basics as well as a broad assortment of Asian specialties including great produce and cuts of meat.

Tons of variety and most importantly they have white coffee! I use to go to Indianapolis for it and had tried 3 other Asian markets before this one.

They have everything you need for all your favorite Asian dishes and more. Go check them out.

Nice store they offer many products here reasonably priced

Clean and neat. Good quality and decent selections. A bit pricey though.

Large variety of Asian food and snacks. An on-site restaurant also offers decent selections for a quick bite.

Best chinese grocery stores around with fresh produce. I wish they would have more selections from other Asian countries though.

Fresh food they have everything

This place has the best selection but slightly more expensive. But the staff is nice and its relatively clean.

Has all your needs for Asian food and candy and snacks

I go here regularly to get specialty sauces and produce. I love their seaweed salad!

Nice that we have options... great variety of fresh vegetables and prepared food.

Best Asian market in the town! Here has everything you need for daily when you feel homesick and want to have some home food.
