I always love shopping here for my hot pot items (they have cut smaller pieces for the different types of meat - towards the back end and before the meat wall) as well as grocery shopping needs and snacks. They also carry some Japanese beauty products.

This is a smaller Asian market grocer in the context of the triangle, but it's wonderful for staples like fresh produce, meat, and bulk rice or noodles. We use them to stock up especially on items "normal" American grocers or the co-op on near Pearsontown don'y carry. Their bok choy and summer melons in particular are wonderful. Get the melons. I mean that. They're perfect for summer. They all have fantastic selection of eel, pork belly, and other meat cuts that you don't see in the nearby Target (which is a shame that the most immediate grocer to me) and a much better price performer than the Wegman's without the pretense.
If you're just there for Asian candy and snacks, "all" the big ones aren't there, but some are. It serves that purpose okay, but you're missing out if you limit yourself that way.
It's located on the edge of the shopping center where Atomic Empire and that kids party place share.
The customer service is brief but accurate and helpful. The bagging goes so quickly I almost feel useless standing there ready to pay. They have always been friendly and kind. I am also chronically ill and continue to mask due to early stage COPD and breast cancer. The other employees also mask. I actually feel safe there. I feel like they care.
It feels kind of packed always and like they have a little more stock than room, but this is the local Durham Asian grocer, and they have been in our community a long time. They have earned the loyalty they have.

I looked up this store on maps months ago. I finally got the chance to travel there today. This is an everything store and I like it! I shopped and found what I came for, then had a good portion of hot food for lunch. Despite the language barrier we communicated well and the three employees I met were very respectful, helpful and pleasant. I'll be back for sure next time I'm in the area.

A great place to brush up on your mandarin whilst hoisting a jackfruit ( the largest fruit in the world!)
Try on a belt fish for size, it's the perfect fashion accessory!
Don't miss the hot bar where you can get 3 favorites generously portioned for a reasonable price.
Finish off your visit by picking up a beautiful ceramic bowl for your next party!
I love Li Ming's!

We went to gather some ingredients to prepare pork belly. We found all the items, and then some. They also have prepared meals counter, with huge servings, thank you. We were happy to find this pearl, and will return.

I am a novice when it comes to this place. A lot of interesting fruits and veggies. I go there for a certain pastry I love from their bakery that I can't get anywhere else. And they have all the Golden Kili drinks I love. The variety of cool foods there is overwhelming. If you need any supplies for Asian cooking this is your place.

I have been coming here for the past 2 years and the variety of Asian goods is vast. The staff are friendly and the vegetables and fruits are fresh. I love that they even have middle eastern and South American groceries that aren't found even at their perspective markets. Definitely recommend shopping here.

First visit and mission accomplished to get some specialty sauces not available in a typical (chain) market as well as some veggies. Looked like they had a pretty good selection of fish/meat, though didn't explore those options (yet). See they have a noodle shop and some sort of prepared food buffet. Gonna try that next time around.

One of my favorite places in the whole triangle region to buy fruits. Jackfruits, mangoes, asian pears, guavas, avocados, dragon fruits, and others are always plentiful, appealing, and at reasonable prices. Good place also for Tom Kha soup

Amazing options! The store was huge and had a wide variety of food, drinks, snacks, etc to choose from. The fish is so fresh that they have live ones as well. Great deals going on price wise especially in the produce section. They also have a cafe type area with hot/fresh cooked meals. We got lots of snacks and cooking ingredients. Will definitely be coming back!! *Side note: the store was VERY cold so be sure to bring a jacket if taking a while to browse around haha

With all I have to tell you this store is a complete experience to itself. I've never been to anything like it even in California. It really does have everything Asian and an incredible fish market and tons of exotic vegetables and fruits from all over the world. The only downside is that many of the cashiers don't speak a word of English or don't seem to but they excelled in getting everything right and I've never had a problem getting in and out quickly..

I absolutely love their dumpling selection! The bakery is excellent as well. They're not as wall to wall stocked as H Mart in Cary but they're less busy day today and provide most everything we usually need on at an east Asian store. Next trip I want to try their to go meals, it smelled amazing.
