Geared to an Asian sensibility though the staff is friendly and helpful. A very large and wide selection of Asian items that can not be found anywhere else in BCS.

Huge imported aisan market! Great prices, friendly staff. Just be prepared. Part of extensive import variety, means most of the product is not avaliable in English, or the translated food title may not mean anything to you. Price stickers will occasionally be moved over a section so keep an eye out.Amazing authentic food at the eatery! I LOVE their water-boiled beef. I could eat it everyday!! ...with extra rice.... because Im a wimp and its spicy. Its worth it!

While I enjoy shopping here, there was an elder that works at the desks in supermarket who grunted several times and said Gweilo Monkey as he passed me to his coworkers. While these is hard times for many, I dont believe it very kind or virtuous for an elder to use Cantonese slurs at patrons. I hope someone reads this at the business and can express to him that behavior can lead to escalations and harm that no one welcomes in their lives. Thanks for listening.

Sorry I cant give 4 or 5 stars to dirty for me . I even seen some food not wrapped in plastic in the freezer area. I love the products at the store. Everyone wore a mask I liked that. If you can get over the store being messy and dirty you will like the store if you love going to Asian Markets. No I didnt see carts being cleaned.

This place has the craziest selection of any grocery store Ive ever been to.The produce here is top notch. They dont carry the same kinds as a lot of the other grocery stores, but the items that they carry are incredibly high quality, better than any other place in town. The produce alone is why we regularly return here.The rest of the store has an incredible selection. Want wasabi flavored Doritos? They got it. Want giant sheets of nori or mushrooms? They got it. Want quail eggs? They got it. Want whole sharks or whole squid? They got it. Every time I go here, I find something new that I never realized I wanted.The only reason I took a star off is because this place is similar to other Asian markets Ive been to in places like Houston, its pretty disorganized and not incredibly clean. Its still a great place though. Its a mini-adventure every time.

Fried chicken dumplings & combo fried rice were really good! Definitely going to be coming here again! The food portions are pretty big & I always have leftovers.

Well stocked with Asian goods, from frozen food and desserts to dry goods and household needs. Small in-house eatery with menu; tasty food and reasonable priced, cooked while you wait for dine in or takeaway.

Review №12

The store is an older marketplace with an authentic Asian cuisine restaurant inside. Fortunately, the market offers everything for normal Asian cuisine from Vietnamese dishes to Thai dishes. The quality of the meat and frozen items may be questionable, but the other products are exactly what I need. However, do not expect a HEB like store when shopping here.

Review №17

The water boiled beef is darn good, if you like spicy! They keep it simple around here, like disposable plates and cups and old cafeteria seating, but everything I have ever ate was pretty tasty. I even suggest there steamed buns. Btw you get endless steamed rice. The place is worth a dive visit... and they give a discount for cash.

Have everything I need :) They have a lot of vegan grocery options (even vegan sushi, vegan shrimp, vegan dumplings, vegan steam buns, vegan ramen, etc.)

Good selection of Asian food items and products. But the store is a bit rundown and not clean.

Su
Review №23

A tad cluttered around and sometimes prices were hard to find but you will get things here you cant get anywhere else in the BCS area. The restaurant inside this market is some of the best Chinese food Ive had in BCS and is worth the visit alone. But, if you do come by, make sure to browse for anything Asian grocery-like you may be on the hunt for. We perused a lot of tea, snacks, and instant ramen flavors that we can only get here. We also purchased a bunch of cute ceramic bowls and plates as well as soup spoons for our ramen. Will definitely be coming here to add some variety of our noodle diet and tea cabinet. Maybe theyll have new dishes too!

A large market with a good selection of products. The owners are very friendly and will help you find any product. There is a restaurant which serves a variety of Chinese and Korean dishes.Good location. Plenty of parking.

Re
Review №32

This is by far one if the most genuine Chinese food restaurants in town. Although its not the best to look at, and its hidden away on the side of the BCS Asian Market, they still make some of the best asian food you could ask for in Aggieland. Their menu is extremely vast, with enough different options to never run out of new things to try. The price is pretty moderate but for the quantity and quality it is very much worth it, plus while you wait for your food you can explore all the cool things they have in the market!

They are selling a lot of expired food. You need to pay special attention to this issue when buying food here. I bought this one at May 2020, when it had expired half a year ago.

This store is very large and has a good selection of items. They even have a small kitchen that serves up freshly made meals. The problem is that this store is very poorly organized and a lot of inventory were simply left in the isles.

The market has lots of fun foods to try. It has a place where you can order and dine. The store isnt very clean though and that is why I gave it 4 stars. I miss the Asian markets in the Dallas area.

1 star for hygiene. 1 star for expired foods & drinks. Highly questionable freshness about food in the fridges. I liked the fact that there was a big Asian market in town but forget it. Id rather travel to the hmart in katy/Houston area.

The place is nice. Food is decent. Hygiene is definitely one thing that requires improvement. The eatery is pretty good. But TAKEOUT ONLY.

Al
Review №44

Really the only Asian market that has a decent variety. Less variety than where I used to live but its a small town unfortunately, so they dont have a huge amount of stuff. The store isnt that clean, and the frozen produce (fish) is questionable. No other place to really get specialized groceries.

Review №45

We order some Mongolian Beef from the deli area. It is the best Mongolian Beef we have had in BCS. We also found several snacks and drinks. The Brown Sugar Boba in the freezer section is the best. And so much cheaper to make your own.

I love this place so much, everything is delicious, and at such a great value! This place hands down has the best fried dumplings in the BCS area. I love walking around the grocery store as i wait for my food. Phone service in the building is not the best,

Sadly, relatively small selection of assorted imports from Asia. On the plus side, restaurant inside is nice. Pretty good for the single asian store in BCS

Review №49

This is a place you need to check out. Even if it is to just to see what they have. Their selection is huge and their prices are very fair. They are covid 19 compliant and have sanitizer as you walk in and when you check out. I have been there several times and have enjoyed my shopping experience each time and the items that I purchased.

Al
Review №50

Absolutely love this place. The people working there are super sweet and helpful and will even explain how to eat/cook/use something if you ask. The variety of things they sell is amazing, from kitchenware, to food its all awesome and everything is priced really reasonably. Sometimes we go there rather than Walmart.The only thing that is annoying (and its a very tiny inconvenience) is that not everything is labeled with a price. But their stock changes so frequently that I totally understand and have no problem going to the register and asking for a price.

Review №52

I really cannot emphasize how much I always enjoy coming here when I get the chance. Because its in the depths of the BCS Asian Market store, there are no clear signs at the outside on how to find it, but once you do, you are in for a treat.They got almost 100+ of options of dishes, all made with most of the greens and meats sold at the store.Many of the options are catered to the Asian community as they are very authentic and variant in flavors.You are always greeted by very kind people.If you feel very adventurous, try many of their authentic dishes such as the Douban fish, Mr and Mrs Smith (beef tendon and tripes), or something simple yet new like japchae (sweet potato noodles with beef).By far one of my favorite spots to eat out in College Station.Youll get the satisfaction of not only eating a new kind of food, but also have a chance to peek and get some greens and Asian cusine goods before or after your meal.Attached is a pic of japchae I had last weekend. Looking forward to more!

If you want Chinese/Korean take-out in the BCS area, this is your place. It looks a bit divey, but the food is really good, and you get it fast. You also cannot beat the price.

I am so grateful for a great Asian market like BCS Food Market. They have everything that I need to make all the Thai dishes I love. I moved from a much larger city that had multiple Asian markets. I would have to go to several to find all that I needed. BCS has everything, one stop shopping. Staff is always friendly. I appreciate this store.

My first time to visit. Looking for Asian spices, smelled the aroma from the Deli cooking. The pork bun was a first for for me. We tried that while they cooked my sesame chicken and egg rolls. They were delicious! Cant wait to try more from their menu. They have awesome Asian produce too, some things I never heard of. Nice staff too. Thank you to the deli checkout lady for saving something I left behind. All is well!

This is the only place to buy authenticate Asian food and products in BCS area. We go there pretty often when we live there for more than 5 yrs. We still go there any time we pass through there. You could even ask the owner to bring things for what you are looking for. We live in Houston now, still think this place is one of the best.

I was last there in 2018, and before that I was a consistent customer from 2012 to 2014 when I traveled to BCS. But this place has some of the best damn Asian dishes Ive had, and theres nothing like this in Austin (where Im at).I have a few dishes I love here: The Boiled Fish in water is phenomenal. I love this dish, its spicy good, the sauce is so flavorful and can be used for everything else - like adding noodles and rice. I usually take an extra dish home. The Kim Chee Fried Rice w/ egg on top is always solid here. The best Ive had as it is flavorful.The Fried Fish - or what used to be Salted Fish - which comes w/ onions and peppers is superb. I recall when I went back in 2018 the recipe had changed slightly but it was still solid. The Mapo Tofu is also a go-to of mine. Here the sauce is really zesty and flavorful, much better than other Mapo Tofu dishes Ive had in other areas. The Beef Mushroom dish had changed recipes as the one I got was different than previous pics - different mushrooms and it tasted okay.There are many other dishes here that look phenomenal but Im eating for 1 and I cannot eat everything they have on a quick trip. The Beef Noodle Soup and Dumplings look phenomenal too. This is definitely one of my go-to places in the BCS area. Aggies are very lucky to have them.

Review №74

Nice store. Found what I needed and more. My only complaint is that I was waiting on line with items almost falling out of my arms because I bought more than I expected. There was a customer in front of me with a lot of groceries; anyhow, a lady opened a second register, calling to help next an Asian lady behind me, with whom she immediately started chatting. That was very inconsiderate. My guess is that her people came first. Not right. They need to be nice to non-Asians too.

Review №80

This is a joke in the wall cafe setting set up inside an Asian market. Absolutely amazing food and service! You cannot get more authentic Chinese or Korean food than here and the variety of dishes that Ive never seen anywhere else. My go-to Chinese food is Mongolian beef and this one had an absolutely incredible taste, truly top notch! My oldest son had spicy salt and pepper short ribs which were very tasty and definitely not something Ive seen elsewhere. We also got Chefs choice pork that was full of tasty pork with big pieces of bell pepper and onion. My friend got a Vietnamese soup made with a black bean sauce that was of perfect size portions. Every single bite was devoured! This will be a regular go to place when visiting College Station and to make it even better, we got to shop for items to cook later this week that we cant find anywhere close to home.

BCS food market may not be the most glamorous grocery in Bryan College Station but they have a fantastic selection of Asian foods. I would appreciate if they had a little more produce but they do have limited space.The restaurants at the store is another story! No comparison - it is the best Chinese food in the Brazos valley and a few dishes rival some of the best authentic Chinese Ive ever eaten. I highly recommend stopping in for lunch or dinner.

In all honesty, the store is a bit ramshackle and confusingly assorted. However, it is still one of the few places in town where one can get food from other cultures. The amount of food, home and kitchen supplies is great and prices are fair. Definitely an enrichment to the BCS area.

Review №91

Sure, theyve got your typical Otaku treats, probably because they do a good part of their profit margin from the college kids, but they also have a good selection of quality oriental products for a very reasonable price.Probably the best price in town on things like Tofu, Soy Sauce, Sesame Oil, and such... plus about the only place in town for things like Pickled Radish for your Kim Bop. So if you are planning on cooking oriental tonight, swing by here to pick up your ingredients.The attached restaurant is reasonably priced for the quality you get, typically around $10 a person. Beats the heck out of any other Chinese food place, though.

If youre looking for good Asian products, this is the best place to go. I was able to find everything that I needed in order to try my hand at home made sushi.
