Any chinese grocery stores in Hampton Roads area?

[Siren40]

It's on the corner of Witchduck and Virginia Blvd., not the old Value City ( on the north/east corner). I haven't been down there since around Easter, so I don't know if it openned yet. As far as the bakery, the only one I know of is a Korean couple's on Warwick Blvd. in Newport News right next to the huge E-Mart Asian and Latino supermarket. They have a lot of good things. It looks like a shop that would be in Japan!

As we are new to the area and have no idea where to find the best chinese/ oriental grocery stores around here, we'd like to seek advice from the experts here. We are fine if it is within the Hampton Roads area (doesn't have to be in Newport News), just as long as they area within a 25mi radius.

If anyone knows, please kindly let we know. Thanks in advance!

I lifted this bit from envyeyes a few posts back I know where 2 of these places are

Asia Grocery - 6139 Jefferson Avenue, (757) 826-9553
If you turn out of the city center onto jefferson turn left and head towards downtown it will be a few miles down the road on the right just before you get to Mercury Blvd. This store is Owned by Cambobians and has pretty much everything you'll be looking for they have plenty of rice and fresh fish Etc. I don't personally like this place because it stinks like death from the fish but my wife doesn't seem to mind too much whatever

Far Eastern Food Store - 340 Oriana Road Suite E, (757) 874-9417
If you turn left onto Oyster Point go across Jefferson to Warwickand turn right proceed down warwick and on the right you'll see a pep boys and just after that there's an international foods place which is my wifes favorite but thats not the place listed here if you proceed farther down warwick once you get to denbigh go past it and the very next light (Maybe 100 yards away) turn left and Far Eastern Food Store is behind Taco Bell That place is owned by Koreans it's well stocked, nice, it doesn't stink and they ship packages overseas they always have lots of calling cards too.

The best place to go to though is the one you'll pass going to Far Eastern it's big (used to be a regular grocery store) and very well stocked they have everything you would want. The only drawback is the neighborhood the street that runs next to it is the road to the Aquaduct Apts. which are notorious in newport news. Just be careful and park right in front of the store, which is no problem, and make sure you lock your doors and you'll never have an issue there. I just want to warn you that there are dangers before you go just FYI. honestly though none of these asian stores are in nice neighborhoods.
