A huge variety of items to choose from. We purchased several new things to try at reasonable prices. Next time we are going to eat lunch there before shopping as the eat in cafe looked intriguing.
I drove from Franklin, it was about a 20 minute drive or so... when I first went in, I was hit with a very pungent smell that I did not like. It's like when you first walk into an Indian restaurant, and the odors hit you, but after the initial smell you aren't bothered by it anymore... it's just like that. Walking in, the smell was heavy and strong, but after about 5 minutes I no longer was bothered by it. They have a lot of dried and frozen stuff, and they have a fresh seafood and meat section too, as well as a food court area. It's not like the big Asian markets in NYC, but for a state like Indiana, it's actually not bad. They even had sea snails, which I was not expecting. The produce section was lacking though.
The cleanest international food market I have been to in any state. It gives you the feel of a regular grocery store but with international products. The store employees were nice even though I am American (not true for all international markets). I will return here for all of my international product needs. You should give them a try as well.
I like this place. We don't do all of our shopping here but definitely a good place to check out. My kids love spicy noodles and you can get all kinds of them in bulk.
I went with my Chinese friend so it was easy to translate some of the characters that I could not read as I'm still learning how to read Chinese characters. I was able to recognize some of the food because they were familiar to my culture as well and some had English translations. And snacks. When I went there some of the vegetables weren't as fresh.
