Best Ethnic Grocery Store
Chinatown Market
Bigger than Godzilla, Chinatown Market (formerly Oriental Market Inc.) is a choice destination for browsing, gift shopping, or picking up some kimchi or Sriracha sauce for a home-cooked Asian feast. The grocery's monstrous aisles are filled with every Far-East delight imaginable, among them Chinese elixirs for a sore throat, giant porcelain Buddhas, bamboo plants and the usually hard-to-find Japanese candy favorite Pocky. The packaged-foods section is a colorful array of kitschy labels where happy pandas and cute kids advertise soups and teas, and the fish department in the back offers everything from frozen tilapia to live frogs and eels. Seriously.
