Oriental Food Store

Nice and friendly service. We go there once a month. Great veg. And fruit.

You need it they have it!! AND if you are looking for something they will absolutely go into their vast warehouse and FIND it for you! I have been to many Asian groceries around the Quad Cities but this place has more than everything!! They have 40 different soy sauces to choose from! At least 100 different kinds of sea food! And ramen and udon for days☺ Please shop here!

Any and everything you need.... they have it and the sales person knows EXACTLY where everything is so you aren't wandering around lost! In and out and he is funny and friendly. Cool spot. Produce is crazy diverse.

Lee is the man who owns this store. He is Vietnamese. After he bought out the previous Korean owners, he moved it from Iowa St. to (basically) across from the River Bandits ball park off Centennial Bridge. He and his wife really expanded from the small grocery store. The 2nd aisle from the left is mainly Korean items. He has lots of other Asian foods as well. He goes to Chicago twice a week--one trip focuses on meats, and the other for other items-- so you know the supplies tend to be plentiful and fresh. He gets live blue crab at certain periods! Radishes, Asian Sweet potato, cabbages, taro root, etc. Wednesday-Friday is a good day to go for Chicago made kimchi, but they might be out by Friday! Great place to go if you need soup bones to make stock (better price than the local processor/meat market).

He has a restaurant/cafe open on the weekends "Pho 9999". Try their Pho (homemade until they run out of stock), or their pork chop dish--YUM! On Fridays (about 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.) Lee's family makes A LOT of Bahn mi sandwiches--Grilled pork or Pork Belly. He also sells the Bahn Mi bread (I understand he bought an oven and is supplying the local restaurants and he sells the sliced carrot & radish topping, for it, in the refrigerator on the right side. Friday is also a good day to get various Asian Bakery items.

He expanded to make and sell various Boba Tea flavors as well.

And he has an Asian beauty supply store across the street. If he doesn't have what you are looking for, TALK TO LEE--he is willing to get it IF you show him what it is. My mom wanted some specific items he did not have in stock (one example was WILD sesame oil). He gave me his catalogs to look through, and I found it and he and Mom arranged for him to get it for her. (She did have to buy the whole box, but she really wanted it!).

I and my family moved from Davenport to Burlington a few years ago, but we make a point of going there 2-4 times a year--especially on Friday to get fresh Kimchi and Bahn Mi sandwiches. They still remember us.

His wife, children when not in school, parents, cousins, etc. all work there. Lee and his children are best at English, then his wife, and on down. He had two young daughters when we started going there. One is in college or just graduated, and they had two sons as well. All very smart!

I loved the place and it smells like china. You can also get bamboo and steel chopsticks

We love the variety and originality. We have found things there you can find nowhere else! We do suggest arming yourself with Google translate, however!

The largest selection of oriental food in the Midwest that I have found. Warning, do your research on exactly what you want before you go. A lot of the items don't have english wording or common U.S. terms on the packaging. For example, wood ear mushrooms are labeled as black fungus.
They have packaged goods, fresh fruit/produce, fresh baked goods, and a huge freezer section that carries a lot of seafood, pork and beef that you won't find at your local grocery store. They also have a large selection of woks, cooking utensils and oriental serving dishes.

They have SO much and are so friendly. We drive an hour and a half to go here from time to time we love it so much.

We have been going here for years, and they always have everything I need. Love the owners too.

Nice selection! I'm so happy I don't have to drive forever just to get some taro daifuku and shread squid. Prices are great and you never know what you're gonna find. I just bought a massive steamer that I couldn't find anywhere else.

Such a variety of foods, great quality and for great prices. The staff doesn't all speak English too well but they know what they're doing! I recommend bringing a translator app if you are just browsing because alot of the products are in Chinese or viatnamese, but if you know what you're looking for the store layout makes it easy to find what your looking for. There's always new product when you first walk in as well as fresh fruits like mango, durian, and dragon fruit or sometimes lychee. You can find some popular snacks and treats too like daifuku, yanyan or Pocky or the middle isle for your salty/savory snacks. The far left isles for ramen, the far right for frozen foods or veggies. Just right under the centennial bridge, go take a look!

Just picking up a few groceries and happened to find this adorable Hello Kitty soy sauce bottle. And they had just put out some fresh roast duck. Couldn't resist. This is my favorite oriental food store in the Quad Cities. They have a great variety.

My children watch too much tiktok and have gotten into Asian treats and drinks. This store has a lot of options and the prices are good.

Perfectly amazing. Cheap food, nice music, amazing staff, and so much more.

they have everything one needs to cook a great dinner with quality food...

This place has everything! From Pineapple,Banana,orange flavored Fanta to authentic Ramen meals👍🏼👍🏼

I love, love this store! The owner and employees are very friendly. I love the unique items and produce that I find. I suffer from a few health issues, and I always purchase my vegetables and fruit and meat there very reasonable prices. I have been going there for the last past few years not only have I made good friends but with the help of them and their products I have lost weight. I was a diabetic and I had high blood pressure. Not anymore!! Thank you, my friends, for life!

Fabulous customer service very nice and great prices and great quality of products and food!

Amazing selection of food and goods. Got everything we needed for hot pot (and more)! Will be sharing everything I learned to make in Taiwan with my parents this weekend. 謝謝你！

Extensive selection, super nice people 👍
