Not just food. She carries the coolest other things. Tea sets, sea shells(ones you have NEVER seen before), lanterns, Buddha in all his forms, the most beautiful Jade bracelet I have ever seen, lets see, what else? GO check this place out and be prepared to leave with something yummy & really cool!
Fantastic owner and shop! Have most asian ingredients to cook with and its a spot with many gifts and things. Owner is super sweet and gives recommendations about places to visit in the area.Supper neat shop!
Wonderful selection of hard-to-find Asian food products and gifts with a friendly staff!
Never have a bad experience. The owner is very friendly and makes you feel like family. Her homemade spring rolls are delicious. Unique items at a good price.
This door has been of one of the stores that has been there for a long time. I personally know the owner and she is just as sweet as can be you can get all your Oriental needs met there she will even hand make some of these products.Valy was there before any of the other stores was there!
I have been there several times since I first found the store. The owner has been very helpful with my journey learning how to make sushi. She has had all the necessary supplies including bar-b-q eel, frozen Japanese yellow tail tuna, saki etc. Tomorrow Im cooking tuna, salmon and eel, sushi with seaweed salad. I could not be more happy!
Love it here! I try to get here a couple times a month to get ingredients for all my Asain cuisine. Highlighted countries in the store are Korea, Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, and so many more! To get authentic ingredients makes my dishes taste 1000x better. Lots of drink options, sweets/candies, fresh frozen seafood, ramens, cutlery, and gift items!
We live about 20 miles away so we checked online to make sure they were open first. We drove up there and found out they were closed. We went back a couple of days later. This was our first visit to the store. Found out that each item was $1 - 3 more than Grand Rapids Asian stores. I bought two items, one bowl and a tube of mustard. Just opened the mustard yesterday and found out the expiration date on the tube was 2012. The mustard had no flavor at all. The date on the outside carton was covered with a sticker. I will never go there again.
Auntie here is SUPER sweet and friendly she was great. The home made spring rolls was Superb! Alot of different varieties of Ramen to choose from with a variety of different asian ingredients such as teas, oils, sauces, noodles, wrappers, seaweed, spices and rice for all sorts of dishes to indulge in for home cooking; along with frozen meals from dumplings/pot stickers, steamed buns and ice cream. They also have a variety of sweets and snacks along with a variety of drinks. They have alot of knick-knacks and serving dishes along with chop sticks that vary in variety depending on what is needed and price range. This place is a great little jewel that you must check out if you love if you love to expand beyond the normal foods that you may not be use to.
Great inventory, charming and helpful owner. I will go back there
Best place for any Asian ingredients plus Valy makes great homemade spring rolls and kimchi. The best customer service anywhere. A must shop store In Muskegon!
The only reliable place to get pleasant treats and a gremlin.
Every time my boyfriend and I come here, we are always welcomed with a friendly smile and great service. 🥰 Absolutely love the woman that runs the store helping us find what we like and super sweet. Best wishes to her and we will definitely be back! 💙
They have all these ramen I have never had before and a bunch of other stuff like mochi ice cream and bobba pearls
The store has such a nice environment and she is the sweetest person. She is the kindest person ever. 10/10 recommend you go here. Her food and items are very good as well!!
So many Asian grocery items to be found at this store! I went for a Japanese curry paste, and sure enough they had it! The shop owner was very friendly and helpful. Worth the drive!
5 extra ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐s. Ngas store is a community treasure. Seeing her is always a pleasure. Nga exemplifies the spirit of small shop owners the world over. I always enjoy speaking with her, especially when she shares her knowledge of Vietnam. Her egg rolls are the best youre going to find anywhere. You may find their equal, if you spend your lifetime looking. You wont see the on display, ask for them. I slightly favor the pork rolls, but try them all. You wont regret it. Having spent a couple of years in S.E. Asia Im relieved to be able to find some of the critical ingredients for S.E. Asian cooking locally, and Im happy to find her still in business in spite of the difficulty during these trying times. I was happy to find fish sauce. Its a necessary ingredient in S E. Asian food, and Im addicted to it!
I was lucky enough to be told about this place by coworkers and my goodness is it worth the stop. Not only is the owner incredibly sweet, but such an encouraging person! She noticed I had picked up ingredients for making rice noodles and gave me some of her own tips as well as recommending different things to serve them with. She stocks all sorts of pantry staples as well as an assortment of frozen treats to enjoy so it is ABSOLUTELY worth going here if you can. The kind of small business and small business owner that we should all hope to encounter.
Super cute little store with an amazing selection of Asian foods. The owner is super sweet and helpful at finding what you need. Would highly recommend coming here for all your Asian food needs.
Super sweet owner, my girlfriend & I got some drinks, ramen & mochi to try & let’s just say our whole household LOVED them can’t wait to go back & get more
Me and my daughter always visit for unique food experiences. Always great service from very nice lady😄
Swan is super sweet, helpful, and knowledgeable. Her shop is a gem, with so many treasures, all the cooking ingredients needed for authentic asian cuisine from Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, etc. She makes homemade spring rolls that can be bought frozen and are delicious. A must for those that love asian cuisine, and cute gifts also.
Wonderful owner. So happy to support this business & the great offerings (:
I absolutely love this place! VAL IS SO NICE and very helpful! I tell everyone about her! Go check her out!
A treasure of a place to shop. The elderly lady whos been there everytime Ive been, is a pure pleasure to be around. Shes very helpful with any recipes Ive been trying to work on, not only providing the homestyle ingredients, but a quick explaintion on proper prep as well! To top it all off, my 3 year old daughter loves her, whenever she knows were going for a visit she lights up. I wish more places were this way. The variety of goods in the store is also surprising for the size. I cant believe how many packed noodles as well, its really a gem for ramen. I also recommend these glass soda drinks Ive been getting as well. They taste great in a variety of flavors, green apple is my favorite, and a sealed with a glass marble you have to push in to open the drink. Pretty darn cool. 10 out of 10 best shopping experience around.
The reviews I read before going for the first time this morning were extremely accurate so there isn’t much to add. Swan is from Japan and is extremely friendly. She took time to introduce herself, ask my name, talk to my children, and offer them Pocky Sticks as we left. I didn’t have much time to stay and talk today, but I will make sure I do the next time. She was also very knowledgeable about all the products in the store and the different varieties of similar type items. I highly recommend stopping in here and supporting her business.
Absolutely wonderful place. Has a little bit of everything. The owner was super sweet and helpful. I definitely recommend stopping in and checking it out.
The owner is so sweet and attentive to her customers needs. I love this place!!!😃😃😃😃
Swan is a very nice lady! She does alot of alterations for my mom. And I had her fixed a bra and jeans for me. She is very nice but if you don’t like her work be sure to let her know and always get a receipt if you pay ahead for your records.
Very generous owner.She is always in a positive mood and loves her customers. She loves getting to know them and appreciates their service with discounts and gifts.
This little store is amazing! Food and gifts. We love it. Owner is super nice and helpful.
Suan is the sweetest soul. Prices are fair and she mentioned sharing some vegan recipes with me as I’m a new vegan trying to sort out some health issues. She was so nice and friendly even given the quarantine situation. We were handed sanitary wipes at the door and only allowed one customer in at a time, wiped off my card after she swiped it, super accommodating. we will definitely be back!!
Great place to buy hard to find Asian foods. Every curry and sushi ingredient you could need and even Tamarind paste! I will definitely be going there more often now that I know what is available.
We visited the store for the first time today and it certainly won’t be our last visit. The store is full floor to ceiling with every Asian item imaginable, both food & party items. Everything you’d need to have a beautiful Asian evening at home. AMAZING customer service, variety of products, & Swan (the owner) is warm, inviting, very knowledgeable & made us feel at home immediately. We went in for Fortune Cookies and left with several sets of beautifully decorated chop sticks and a gorgeous dress that Swan tailored to fit me perfectly within a couple of hours. Swan is so incredibly warm & welcoming. She is an absolute delight. It’s certainly going to be the only place we ever shop for our Asian delights.
What a wonderful place. I was looking for some place to buy supplies to make miso, and this was the closest place listed. Im so glad I stopped in here, I will definitely be back. It looks small from the outside but the shelves are packed full of an assortment of snacks, ingredients and drinks (and a ton more). The customer service is awesome too. This all together was a very pleasant experience.
The owner is super sweet, and was very excited to help me find the vegan items when she found out I was vegan. The vegan spring rolls were amazing air fried, Ill be back! #veganfriendly
Ms. Swan is everything you’d hope a small business owner would be. When my partner and I go, we almost always have our son with us. Swan always sends him off with a little treat. Her store is also so amazingly affordable for top quality items.
Cute little shop downtown with a great selection of oriental tea, spices, noodles, and trinkets.
Amazing shop stocked with treasures! All the international flavors that I crave! Did I mention mochi ice cream!
Great selection and service! Well definitely be back often!
Lovely little store to get hard to find cooking ingredients.
Whenever Im in town, I make an effort to see Ms. Swan and get some food. She is just one of those salt of the earth people and Im grateful for her business. Yes, she does have a thick accent to her English, but do make the effort to understand her. She has had quite a life before coming to the U.S. and many stories to share. Of course go there also for her supply of Asian foods. She will do everything she can to help you get whatever it is you need.
The veggie egg rolls are the best!!! And the owner is the nicest person ever!
I love everything about this place. Theres stuff in here you cant even find online, and the owner is the nicest lady youll ever meet in your life.
Absolutely love this store! Going back tomorrow, such a neat variety.
So nice to have a place selling Asian cooking staples here in Muskegon. The woman working there was very helpful and kind! Small store with a wide variety of goods. Definitely reccomend checking it out. :)
Always a delight to shop here. I buy the various Asian Staples and often find a new food or item to try. Excellent products and fairy priced.
I should start with how friendly and genuinely caring the store owner is. She puts a lot of thought into everything and treats all of her customers so well. For a small store, theres a lot to look at. And theres plenty of variety. Please give this store a visit!
I think I just met the nicest person in the world today! She was so helpful! I found a new tea, and I just love it. If you are looking for kimchi this is the place to go. I moved from near Grand Rapids and didnt relish the idea of driving all that way for miso paste and now I dont have to. The spring rolls are home made and taste perfect. The store even smell good! I will recommend this place to everyone who will listen to me!
Amazing little store thats very well stocked and a great owner that is happy to find the items for you on your shopping list. Stop in once and youll make it your go to store.
Such a wonderful place, its out of my way, but I always try to stock up on my Asian ingredients here! And the owner always gives me a package of Pockys, such a sweet wonderful lady!
The store owner is such a sweet heart, and is so helpful. She helped me find the rice I was looking for and even recommended how to make it. There is such a wide selection of ingredients and gifts. Im very thankful to have this store downtown.
Very helpful staff
Small store but has a nice selection. Owner is very sweet and helpful.
Authentic food and excellent customer service! Very professional and personal touch. This place is exceptional for West MI.
Came in today with my wife. After living overseas for a few years we were finally able to find some foods to make ourselves feel less island homesick. Glad to be back in Muskegon but even happier that this store exists! Lots of Filipino food and oriental foods. Also, the lady was extremely helpful and friendly. I hope she is sucessful for many years to come.
Great customer service, management, selection of products, and location!
Love this place! Knowledgeable and super friendly!
My wife and I have been coming here since moving to Muskegon back in 2008. We love Ms. Swan, she is one of the sweetest people weve ever met. If she doesnt have something, shell order it for you. We always get a big hug when we come in and a little treat for our 3 kids when we leave. (so sweet) Prices are reasonable, theres a large selection of fresh, frozen and dried goods from all over the world - and its the ONLY Asian market in the greater Muskegon area.
The Owner is Ahhhmazing!So nice and friendly!Great little hideaway spot!
Had what I was looking for
Excellent customer service and nice variety of goods.
Great selection and EXCELLENT customer service, so polite and helpful!!
Carries ingredients found nowhere else in Muskegon. I went in looking for some fish sauce, rather than overpaying at Meijer for an 8 oz bottle. They carried five different kinds in large bottles!
Very friendly, wide selection of authentic goods. Remember to check out the back area for refrigerated and frozen items.
Great lady
Amazing lady!!
Great store with great customer service and amazing food
This store is so AMAZING! Its kind of hidden because its so small but I think thats what makes me like it. Also, the store is neighboring a curry restaurant. I havent ate there but my friend says the curry is pretty spicy.Anyways. The lady who works at the store is among one of the sweetest women I know. Shes really helpful and you can tell she genuinely cares about the customer. I came in looking for hondashi (a japanese soup stock) and all she had was the dashi flakes, and they were in bulk packaging. That was waayyy more than I needed so she agreed to take whatever I needed out of the packaging for me!!She was also very helpful in finding things that I needed.Another great thing about the store is there selection! They have just about everything you need to make a japanese, korean, vietnamese, and even indian dish! For the sushi lovers, she keeps fresh fish in the back, along with some vegetables that you can only find in the asian country. The store even has a little snack section, as well as little gift like souvenirs. And of course they have an abundance of chopsticks, and the knick nacks that come with them. Like chopsticks rests, etc.If you ever get the chance please visit this store!
Very good, very nice.Great foods!
Excellent variety
Great service and a nice selection.
Many things here that you probably wont be able to find unless you make the trip to Holland or GR. And the owner is incredibly kind as well.
A hidden gem in Muskegon!
Expensive. Crazy Asian lady
Great place
I love the place
