Fresh International Market - Champaign

FIM is possibly the cleanest and neatest Asian store we have visited among various states. While it is not the largest store we have seen, the selection and variety of the products are well-balanced and adequate. The vegetable choices are pretty good, and the prices are reasonable. We did not see many fruit varieties there, but it did not bother us much. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would be happy to be a regular patron.

I am rating this 4.5 stars, but since there is no between scores, I am rating it 5 stars, because the small shortfall shouldn't warrant one star discount that may affect their overall ratings.

How I rate:-
1-2 stars - Businesses/professionals that do not meet the minimum standard of service.
3 stars - Businesses/professionals that meet the minimum standard of care/service and nothing more; or when they try to compensate for the lack of service by being really nice.
4 stars - Businesses/professionals that take extra effort to be friendly and meet the minimum expected standard.
5 stars - Exemplary service/products and customer service/care.

Lots of variety and a lot to choose from. Pretty big Asian market. Things are pretty fresh and if you go early enough in the morning, it isn’t too crowded so it makes for good shopping. The fresh produce section is a little limited though!

We come here from out of town all the time to get our asian grocery necessities. More expensive than the average asian grocer but the price is justified based on options offered and well maintained

Absolutely massive selection, reasonable prices. Beautiful produce. Definitely check them out!

Nice clean, big store. Prices are good, and the price tags are in English! I'll be back for sure

We are usually shopping for specific foods and they always have them so good experience.

This place is amazing, ever wanted to get the same ingredients as the Chinese asian restaurant have? Then look no further this place has everything you can think of from live fish and crab and so much more. Very well maintained and clean.

Has everything you could imagine in there. When making authentic meals from different countries, it's crucial to have ingredients from there too!!! Prices are reasonable too!

Great grocery store for finding Non-N American centric foods and ingredients! If you're looking for food from cultures that appreciate herbs and spices, then you will love this place!

The best Asian in CU. Bonus: they have Asian Lays and KitKats!!!

Absolutely the best international food market in town. I can find just about every thing I need here for almost any Asian dish I want to make, and the folks I’ve talked to here are happy to help me understand what I need and why. It’s a great place to learn and understand another culture through their cooking.

I was just passing by from up north going south and wanted to check out some Asian store in the area. A really clean and neat store with fresh produce and they have quiet a variety to choose from. They mostly carry a lot of Korean products so if you are expecting for more varieties of other Asian goods, then, it is limited. Over all I'd you are looking for Korean goods/foods, this place almost got it all.

This place is so impressive! The food is so fresh, the store itself is very clean and well stocked, and the price point is great.

FIM gives a nice shopping experience that is not overwhelming. Aisles are large with plenty of space, the music is kept at a nice volume, and the lighting isn't too intense. Everything is within easy reach, and the general flow of the store is really good.

A great Chinese store. You get a lot of vegetables and fruits to buy. Well maintained!

Awesome selection of any and all things international! I particularly like this location because it is more spacious and clearly marked than some of the other international markets on town. I love the frozen fish balls that you can mix and match (I used them for hot pot)! Haven't tried their buffet/take out food but it looks decent and very convenient.

If you cannot get a specific asian grocery here, you might not be able to get it from other places too. When in doubt, it is safe to visit here.

Good variety of food for every taste!

Lots of good finds. The restaurant has great food and service. The deli has many food options as well. Not too expensive either. Very clean and all the workers are attentive and nice. There are also some miscellaneous items near the check out stands. These include some Asian beauty items, cooking utensils (chopsticks, basket steamers, tea sets, silverware sets, etc.), and lots of cute pens, stickers, pencil cases, and pencils!

friendly staff and good quality food. they also have amazon pick up point.

Very clean with a very wide selection. For me this is going to be a frequent shopping destination. The produce seemed very high quality, there is fresh fish and a large selection of items you won't find anywhere else. Whether you're cooking a recipe that calls for some harder to find Eastern ingredients or you want to expand you pallet, or even looking for a taste from home this is the place to go. Highly recommended.
