You gotta love asian grocery stores for their low prices and selection of interesting foods.

I think I know the one you're talking about, I love that store! It's so exotic, especially the seafood department. And their pastries are yummy too! I think some of their products have little stickers that tell you in english what it contains. But sometimes just buying whatever looks good might make a nice adventure.

I've noticed that the Giants in the area are starting to assimilate some of the characteristics of the area's Korean grocers and of the Safeways. Narrower aisles and more shelves like the Korean stores. More prepackaged foods and in-store Starbucks like Safeway.

Giant has been hurting ever since they opened Wegmans and the new Whole Foods in Fairfax.
