Drove 25 miles to go here and it wasnt what I expected. I needed fresh fish and noodles but found alot more. Ill definitely be back!
Really nice people who graciously answer my million questions & help me find what I need.
Saigon market has everything Ive needed as Im learning how to make dishes Ive enjoyed during my childhood. Moreover, the store owners are friendly and readily welcome suggestions for products not found in-store. On Fridays, delicious, prepared food is brought in from their vendor.I highly respect the observable values the owners have placed in their business-- the owners are a strong husband and wife duo where I often see their child helping out in their business.Last but not least, Saigon market is legit because they sell balut.🐣💯
An amazing Asian shop. Appeared to have everything you would need to prepare multiple types of Asian dishes.
Best pkace for easily priced asian food, only negative is the credit card minimum limit (havent really seen those since mid 2010s).
Great place to get an assortment of items for eastern cuisine - including serving dishes, rice bowls, and chopsticks! It’s also much bigger than it looks from the outside. Keep going back when you walk in to get to the veggies, fish, and frozen section!Taking off one star because the veggies there are often not very fresh, even when kept in the refrigerator, and the selection they have varies greatly, so you’re better off finding recipes after you shop, rather than coming in with a full list of ingredients that you need.Altogether though, a great little gem to have right in downtown South Bend! A very relaxing and cozy shopping experience!
Sadly, first experience was unpleasant. Called today for sushi rice. Live 30 mins away. When I asked the man on the phone if he had it & what the price was for the big bag, he said that he doesnt give the price over the phone & then just hung up on me. What?! I can understand his policy, but to hang up?? Rude. Lost potential new customer.
LOVE Saigon! Always have everything I love and need!
Very friendly and nice selection of tea.
My daughter and went in there was really suprize on how big it was and found alot of great things there she will going back with her son this weekend
Fresh deli on Friday. Asian veggies and snacks downtown in general
My wife from the Philippines who lives here with me now wanted to go here so we did. I enjoyed it too even though I dont know much about Asian food but still I had fun shopping with her. We got Tofu, some fish and other stuff, but a good place to shop for it, local chains dont have all of this kinds of food. A grocery treasure for Asians and Orientals for sure!
Huge selection!! Owners are very helpful!
Wonderful family owned business. They have all of my Thai ingredients!
Always amazing customer service!
Great service, lots of items you can’t get anywhere else. The cost on products are very reasonable also having a decent variety. Definitely recommend, you won’t be disappointed!
Love this store! Definitely going bk soon
Love love this store. They have fresh produce, a variety of fish, proteins, spices, sauces and more. Anything you need to prepare an authentic meal.
I love this place I have never had a problem with anything Ive gotten Ive been going for about 7 years they are always nice
Great market. Always have what you need. Highly recommend.
Good place for getting asian groceries. Doesnt have much varieties in vegetables though. We went mainly for fishes.
Friendly and well organized. Lots to choose from!
They are both helpful and friendly, and they sell groceries that you cant find anywhere else in South Bend at a good price!
If you are looking for anything needed to cook Asian dishes then this is a prime spot to come to. They stock many Vietnamese and Thai products as well as a good selection from other countries in the region. They also have a wife selection of fresh vegetables and meats. Prices seem to be reasonable.
Very polite and helpful...would definitely come back again
Saigon Markets pretty great. Great variety of goods and produce, of which Im a big fan. Yu choy is the best vegetable. Fight me.
I went in for the first time today and the owner was very helpful and kind! There is a large variety of groceries from many different backgrounds. Everything was clean and well stocked, just note the exp date on the product
Nice hole in the wall Chinese market. Has a decent fresh/frozen selection in the back on top of the normal dried/canned+rice you expect from a Chinese market.
Amazing and knowledgeable food there is amazing and fresh.
The freshest produce around, and the best place to buy mangoes in season. Prices are reasonable and they carry many hard to find items.
Saigon market is the best place for Southeast Asian groceries and produce. Market Day is Friday starting at 2pm and Kevin brings great delicious prepared treats from Chicago. Fresh Ban Mi, dumplings, char siu, roast duck, pork belly. Produce is fresh and a great variety. Come early for best selection.
This is where you go to get all those ingredients you cant find anywhere else.
Impressive considering the size. Well chosen selection. The store doesnt quite get enough foot traffic for them to have a great selection of fresh vegetables, fish, and meat. What they have there is okay. But great selection of sauces, oils, mushrooms, noodles (fresh and frozen), frozen stuff etc., and even a surprising amount of dish-ware and cookware for purchase.
I visited Saigon today to purchase some Yuca & a few other ethnic foods from Africa.Saigon is rich in variety of ethnic foods. They have goat meat. Smoked Tilapia. Cassava leaves. Plantains. Shelled fresh peanuts. Died peanuts. Ground peanuts..and peanut powder. Maize. Maize flour. Fresh mangoes. Fresh Guavas. Sweet potatoes. A plethora of Rice. Rice noodles. Pumpkin leaves(seasonal). Jamaican jerky seasoning.Tamarind. Nido. Tea. Cooking oil. Veggies... ummm....this might take all day...🤔Bottom line; if you are a foodie, or youre from another country originally, visit Saigon..you will become less nostalgic. Period!!!And the owner...absolutely lovely! Absolutely helpful! Absolutely, positively lovely❣Asked me if theres anything in particular that wed like to see in the store that they do not currently carry, so that he can order it especially...I mean, who does that!!?*Also, store is clean & organized. Did I mention: well-stocked!!?
I love this continental market i can find what I eat in Africa
Best Vietnamese grocery store
This would have been my most favorite grocery store had it not for the fact that its downtown and I have trouble driving around downtown area.Reasonably priced produced, lots of snacks and rare south east Asian products.The people work there are also very friendly, they have helped me carried parts of the grocery bag (including a 25lbs rice bag) to my car outside more than one occasion.Highly recommend!
I stopped IN THIS MARKET LOOKING FOR ADVICE. I love oriental food since childhood. We were started out on chop suey and egg food yung. The latter being my favorite I learned to prepare it early. But was never taught how to make the gravy served in restaurants. Since its not the same without it Im learning to prepare other dishes I like.Chicken chow mein, beef broccoli honey chicken and shrimp. So far were easy and tasted like what I like.So this market seems to be well stocked of everything I need for those dishes and those I plan to try in the very near future.
Omg a cute lil store I love it here and the people are nice
Nice small Asian market. Good for quick in and out. Employees are very nice and helpful. I was curious about a fruit they had that I never tried and the owner actually gave me one to try for free. Very very friendly I highly recommend this place!
A sandwich size bag stuffed with basil for $1.00....amazing!
I absolutely love this place! They have such great unique items you wont find anywhere else around South Bend. People are always friendly in here. Every time I go here its like an adventure. They have many great fresh Asian foods in the back (some items vary by season). If you love tea, they have many varieties from overseas.
Aisles are bit narrow but product variety is wide. Always get this brand of tofu here. Love going here on Fridays for fresh produce. Just dont like it that they open 3pm. Cashiers and owner are friendly and helpful.
Love this store. Great customer service, clean and organized. Recommend to everyone
Clean store, good variety, dedicated off street parking.
Store seems to have the biggest selection in the area, they even carry Filipino products. Got lots of veggies, fish, spices, noodles, and will be going back.
Good quality of food items available. Selection is relatively good as it is a small place. The people there are helpful and friendly. Pretty reasonable prices.

(:-DKind, helpful staff, plenty of free parking, downtown location, off Main St. - near great restaurants!
We love Saigon Market for their produce and hard to find specialty items for Asian cooking. Friendly owners. Great old-fashioned market like I remember as a kid. We love Friday nights when all the fresh produce comes in but it can be crowded and overwhelming if youre used to a big, wide aisle store. Its an experience :-)
Always a great experience. Whenever we need something that they dont carry they go the extra mile and try to find it for us. The prices are very good. Surprisingly they have a large variety and unlike some other stores their shelves are always full
Great selection of Asian ingredients here. Helpful and very friendly staff. Just about everything you ever wanted to try and then some!
Kind of hard to find because the store sign is on side of building. Parking lot on corner of Colfax and Main St. The entrance is on side of building. A nice and friendly woman helped me find what I had driven from Michigan to find. Took longer to find building.
Owners are super nice and friendly. Anyone who says these guys arent friendly are out of minds,seriously! They have a great selection! My wife is thai and she gets all her ingredients here. Its our one stop shop! No need to fo anywhere else!
Love this lil gem of a grocery store!! The male owner is extremely helpful and super nice!!
They are so friendly. Great selection of items not typically found at your supermarket
Convenient supermarket in the heart of DTSB. They carry a wide variety of fresh and packaged Asian food. You can find Thai curry paste, Vietnamese fish sauce, coconut milk, Japanese rice, and a wide variety of other foods. They also have several prepared foods, with the best selection on Friday nights, when theyre open late.
Surprised by the exotic fresh fruit. Thai bananas, rambutan, guava, papaya, all really good.
Very authentic asian food market. Everythings fresh with lots to choose from. The owners were very nice and friendly.
We go grocery shopping there for some African ingredients. Also love the Asian snacks.
Huge selection including large produce section in the back. I was browsing the aisles and the owner came up and asked if he could help and helped me find all the ingredients to my recipe. He didn’t push me to get the most expensive item either. Great place!
This tiny corner of Asia has everything I need that I can’t find in Walmart or other American stores. This place is owned by a nice couple that will treat ya right and help you out in the best way possible. I recommend this place for anyone who wants to get some north - east asian foods and spices!
Great place, it had the Asian goods that I would want. At first I thought the aisles are too narrow, but the more I think of it I like the intimate moments when you pass your fellow shopper.
Very good customer sert, prices are very reasonable.
Very friendly and helpful here. I will be coming back in the future.
The one-stop-shop for all your Asian food needs. I cant leave without grabbing some strange snack I have never heard of.
Best Asian market around. Looking for variety they have a lot to offer and great prices.
Awesome help and great variety and prices
Prices are great and selection is perfect for me and my girls needs.
A truly remarkable little shop in South Bend. Incredible produce, groceries, and candy that wont get in a big name store. Plus, they have some nice cookware for sale as well.
Great place for getting your Asian fix. Kim chee didnt last as long as I was going for so dont buy the big ones unless you can eat it all in 2 weeks
All my exchange students love coming here to shop...a little home away from home for them❤
Love this place. Make sure go on Friday for some fresh goodies from chitown
Great selection of items and very helpful, friendly staff.
Great store for Asian and ethnic foods, great prices too. Staff is very helpful.
They have everything I need
I like this place a lot. You can find almost anything you need for a lot of Vietnamese dishes here. The owner is also very nice and helpful.
Have been going here for years, the selection of goods is great and the owner is always friendly.
Love this place! Favorite market in South Bend.
Great prices and selection.
First time visiting. Friendly staff. Clean place. Will definitely come back
Best place to get Asian food plus other nationalities will find what they may need
Good variety of goods
Owner very rude.
Very pleasant surprise! This will be one of the places I will always duck into when at South Bend. I love unique and different.
A great selection that is reasonably priced. Drop by on Fridays to get delicious sandwiches and pastries!
This is a main stay for shopping for me. A great variety of Asian food products and a small amount of african. Fridays the owner opens with fresh supplies from chicago: fresh and live seafood, fresh animal meat, fresh veggies and herbs, and great prepared foods and sandwiches. Fresh fruit that is seasonal and imported, drinks, frozen products, noodles, you name it. They are open to special orders as well.
Very nice people and if you are looking for different types of fruit and vegetables then this is the place to go to
Nice little shop and reasonable priced and CLEAN
Very friendly, great selections and good prices. Been my favorite for quite awhile.
Great friendly staff always willing to help you find what you want and if they dont have it they most likely can get it.
Love it! Loads of variety and friendly place for my Asian foodie need!
Love it!; super variety of fresh produce, food and snacks!
Very friendly and helpful staff!
Great variety of Asian groceries at good prices. I especially love their exotic produce selection.
