Love it! Hey if you are an Otaku (anime/manga fan) you will see a lot foods and snacks that your favorite characters like! They got Ramen, Pocky,, Ramune, HI-Chew, Mochi, and more! My ONLY complaint is I wish they had an app or a site that tells your what they currently have in stock and what's on sale.

Great place to get more of an Asian mix of groceries. Good selection of American and non-american vegetables and fruits. A great fish and meat market for non-traditional supermarkets and a great canned selection along with all you can imagine Asian perishable goods. For someone like me who cannot read all the cans and bottles in Mandarin or Cantonese, it's not as intimidating as it looks. The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about their products. Plus, my husband and I found it's super easy to just google the product then look for that image in the store. They also have a nice and fun selection of more Asian beverages that you don't see in American supermarkets!

Really clean store, and really friendly clerk! When you walk in, there is a smell of spices that hits you, but after a few minutes it goes away. They had A LOT of good items here, and they were decently priced. I found a lot of things I had not seen elsewhere! There was a lot of room for customers to walk and push carts through.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Joan Relph | Nov 2, 2019
L.E.M. Friedman | Nov 2, 2019

I would go to Penzies .Sadly I bought a yellow curry powder 'Rolands' brands. And Masala for Chai The brand was Indian in a small brown box. of Garam Masala to try. They were both sub par and nearly tasteless.When I checked the dates thinking they might be out of date. They weren't. FYI Jays has a no return policy.I have rairly been burned on items because of quality but when I have been about 6 times it has always been in the spice isle. With old spices.This is especially true with Jays when they bag there own spices. They are almost always old and nearly tastless I have had this happen with leafy green spices .
