Great for some specialty products

This may be the most authentic Chinese-style Asian market in town, as opposed to the plethora of Southeast Asian-oriented markets. It's the only place I know that carries Shanxi (and now Baoning) vinegars along with the much commoner Zhenjiang rice vinegar, for instance. Its soy and sauce collection is also impressive, though its produce is somewhat lacking. Those looking for authentic Chinese products would appreciate this place! The owners are happy to chat in Chinese, as they often are with various customers as you are shopping. I wish it were a bit bigger and had a few more of the things I miss from the Chinese supermarkets.

• Pros: Has some things nobody else has
• Cons: Smallish, produce a bit lacking
