If your a true Clevelander, you’ll know where to find these exotic fruits, live frogs, the most desirable and expensive teas in town! It is in a shopping center that should be part of the introduction to Cleveland’s China Town. If you feel so inclined to buy some fruit though, be careful it’s not too ripe & plan to use shortly after buying. Highly recommend making a stop if you haven’t already. It’s a really fun experience!

This is the Asian supermarket that I most frequent, simply because of convenience. My favorite areas to browse is the snack aisle and the ramen noodle section. They have an endless variety of these products. Make sure to check the expiration date before you purchase any food.

They provide awful food and outdate grocery. Horrible customer services as well. My only recommendation is don’t come!

Many different products to choose from. The only thing that bothered me was the meat and seafood. The containers where the meat/fish were placed in were filthy. Cleanliness is a must when dealing with fresh products. The lobster tanks were horridly filthy as well.

It’s a big«supermarket» with Asian products. I could found everything that I need. They have a butcher, fishmonger I didn’t try but looked like fresh.

This place provides your basic Asian grocery needs. If you’re on a lunch budget consider the sandwiches, buns, and rolls. They have an array of fruits and fresh veggies — sometimes even cheaper than more well known markets like Dave’s or Marcs.

If you are looking for a quick bite that’s not too expensive in asiatown go to park to shop. They make fresh daily Bahn mi sandwiches. Last price was $ 2.89. The Vietnamese sandwich is made up of a fresh roll(looks like they bake on site), cilantro, meat and veggies. I find myself here often if I’m on the run near downtown or in asiatown. Then shop at the vast Asian grocery store for all your Asian food needs.

Meh. Anyone who says this is the cleanest Asian Grocery hasn’t been to Asia Food Co in the past year. Asia Food Co is at least as clean but has less expired foods and more helpful employees. Park to Shop is clean and the prices are decent I’ll give them that, but you can easily find expired foods all over the place and food safety hazards(I had to tell them one of their very large freezers was 26 °F. Yikes! If an inspector had seen that, all that food would be in the trash). They aren’t really the best at anything except selection in a few areas — Good Harvest has lower prices. Asia Food Co is cleaner, has a better butcher, has a much better café, better vegetables, and has much much better customer service(remains the only grocery store that consistently has an employee that speaks English well enough to communicate). Me and my Chinese wife will come here when we can’t find stuff elsewhere, but other than that there’s no real reason to come here.

Came here to get spices, sauces and a specific type of noodle I like to cook with and I found it, and not only did I find it, I found a variety of it. The store is HUGE, and you will find whatever it is you need to prepare an Asian meal. They even have a selection of Middle Eastern spices and items(I was shocked to find, but pretty cool). There is an entire section of items where nothing was in English, but I wish they would have translated what some of the items were as they looked interesting. Fair prices, overall clean store, and friendly employees. Convenient location, in a cute little plaza. I would come back! :)

Ehrmagerd. Welcome to the Asian Marc’s. As a trained culinary professional, I can earnestly say that this place is like Santa’s Workshop for people who like to cook Asian food of any stripe. Wasabi powder, a quart of fish sauce, tamarind paste(a must have if you’re making Pad Thai), MSG, Hello Kitty merchandise. Chinese sausages, 50# bags of rice, produce you’ve never seen before: all these and more are available at Park to Shop. Also an extensive selection of teas and supplements, instant sauces, seasonings, meats and frozen foods. If you enjoy cooking Asian food, you owe it to yourself to boogie on down to Park to Shop at least once. Korean, Japanese, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, it’s all here. It’s an experience as well as a supermarket. I love going there. Stirfry is like chili, it should never taste the same way twice. Park to Shop makes that easy.

First time to this market and wow! They have just about everything you could want here and more — but come in with time to spare in order to take it all in. They have every conceivable Asian grocery, and things you definitely won’t find in a «normal» supermarket. In the back side, they have pots, pans, dishes and items more geared toward restaurant use. Hotel pans for stovetop smoking? You can get those here! Sampling spoons? Those too. In this side as well there are toiletry items. I picked up treasured Sandalwood soap for 69 cents a bar. The prices in general for things here are amazing! A big, big bag of dried mushrooms for say, $ 2.75, and we went to a stand at the West Side Market that sold maybe a 1oz. bag for $ 5. Park To Shop is definitely a place to look first and save some serious money. Also, as others have mentioned it is a very clean store. The employees I asked for assistance were very helpful. Overall, a great place to mill around and explore alternate culinary options. We’ll definitely return.

Grocery shopping made fun, I usually make a day out of this. Ill start off with Dim Sum at Li Wah, refill Eastern healing herbals from Tak Yuen Tong then head to the grocery store where I can but anything from stingrays, jellyfish to my favorite flavored aloe drinks. Prices are very solid, bang for your buck. I suggest not going on the weekend unless you have time to kill, it gets quite hectic. I like the veggies because they have what other stores will never carry, fruits are mostly the same as giant eagle, but less fresh. All in all, its just another grocery store, but its the experience. Fun is what you make it I always say…

I have no complaints. I am sadly not Asian but I love to be adventurous with my cooking and love to try new things. Buying things like sesame oil, nori, and fish sauce in the grocery store is so expensive. I love coming to Park to Shop because the prices are fantastic and there are just so many things. I’ve gotten rhambutans, lychee, durian, and all kinds of other exotic produce here at very reasonable prices./ When I come here, I want to buy the whole store and learn how to cook everything. This place is like Disney World.

It’s your standard asian supermarket. The only complaint I have is that I wish they had more fresh produce & lack of Hello Kitty items! …what?! I love HK! Anyway… They have everything my mom needs to make her filipino dishes & they have all the different asian candy & junk food for me to try so, it’s a total win win. They have a nice bakery section & large selection of refrigerated beverage section. They have canned thai iced tea which I love! I still like CAM’s better but overall, this is my second choice for the best asian supermarkets in Cleveland.

This is my new favorite Asian grocery store. Everything is wonderful! The produce is insanely fresh, there’s an entire room devoted to noodles, and the commitment to offering varied products is amazing. There seems to be an emphasis on Chinese and Taiwanese flavors, but I could definitely find plenty of Japanese and Thai ingredients on the shelves. The one con to this place: checkout takes forever. Be prepared to stand in line for 15 minutes on a Saturday to buy your stuff.

This is a huge store with just about anything you are in need of, complete with live frogs! I’m not a frog fan, but the other items in the store would satisfy what anyone would need. They even have samples of fruit at the front of the store so that you can be the judge of the fruit you are looking to buy. The cashiers don’t really socialize with you much if you don’t speak Chinese, but that’s ok. They were friendly enough.

According to my very Asian parents, who have had 15+ years of shopping in American Asian markets, Park to Shop has the best produce out of all the Asian markets. Even though the store itself looks kinda janky and is really smelly, the quality of the product here is unbeatable! Plus, Park to Shop prices are usually 10 – 20 cents cheaper than the same items found at Asiatown Center! This place is seriously every Asian parent’s dream :)

I would agree with another review elsewhere that this store is comparable to other Asian markets in cities with a notable Asian community. It is smaller than some of the stores I’ve been to, but again, think this place is a gem for Cleveland. This place has A LOT of useful stuff. My favorite find was a mixed spice packet for phở. This included a little pouch that you could fill with the spices and drop into your broth and it made a killer a broth, let me tell you! My least favorite experience was asking where the cloves and cinnamon were only to have the lady point straight to the front of the store to what looked to be out the front window. That’s okay though, makes for a humorous story later!

Love this place for all of my Asian grocery needs, and I find something new and interesting every trip I make here. If you need produce, this is the place to get it; the prices are very reasonable. They also sell cookware, dishes, and toiletries, so you can get a lot done in one place.

This is probably the cleanest and largest Asian food market in Cleveland. They have an assortment of goods from all your crazy Asian drinks(Korean yogurts, dragon fruit tea) to a «cooked» section with roasted pork and duck. The best things about this grocery store are the following: 1. Fresh buns! You can get them at Koko’s, but they’re so much more expensive. If you come after 5, you can get 2 buns and the third one is free. 2. Smoothies and icees. They make it fresh in the back and are a lot cheaper than Koko’s. It taste pretty darn good too. 3. Wholesale. If you need supplies for a big party, they have a warehouse like area in the back where you can buy pots and pans and also chopsticks and random tins at a HUGE discount. 4. Next to a lot of restaurants. If you’re going to come shopping, you might as well pick up some dinner that’s already made. There’s a whole bunch of cool things in the plaza to check out.
