The guy who owns and operates this store is my homeboy, I think. But maybe he is also a little shady and has a real affinity for those Karaōke girl posters. I mean there happens to be a lot of dusty Asian food products on the shelves, and the chicken in the freezer says «Safeway» and still has their pricetags, but he always greets me and usually has what I need or he’ll at least offer to get it the next day. From where? I don’t know. But I don’t want to drive across town to Fubonn or Uwajimiya for some yellow curry and I’m not afraid of food poisoning. Also, he sells kinda fresh Thai Basil and other herbs that Fred Meyer and Safeway haven’t discovered. The hours never change — he’s out front chain smoking from 10 AM to 8 PM everyday and I appreciate his dedication. Plus I’m pretty sure that shopping here makes my Thai, Chinese, or «Asian-​themed» dinner more legit and tasty. I kinda wish they took debit/​credit cards, but maybe its for the best they don’t. I could end up with a someone else’s curry and a bunch of karaōke albums charged to my bank account.
