Only came because a lot of reviews mentioned their being unfriendly.Yes, theyre unfriendly and unwelcoming. 1 plenty of choices around so I wont be going back.Has fresh meats and produce, and small amount of prepared food that doesnt look good.

If youre looking for good Vietnamese eats at a great price this place have them. Forget the decor and just appreciate the great value. Probably not a good place to impress a date.

Went for a particular item. Store is full of merchandise. Store is not full of helpful employees. Tried 3 times. Put the basket back and walked out. I did not have it in me to keep looking for items. Too bad. There were tempting items. Furthermore the scent was very strong. Very very very strong. So many Asian groceries have pleasant odors about them along with helpful staff i think next time i will just drive further!

The cashier lady was unfriendly and spoke badly about me in Vietnamese to her colleagues while I was paying for grocery. Little did she know, I understand Vietnamese. Won’t come here again.

Review №18

There were only 2 asian markets in the Tampa area when we stopped by, and this is the only one worth a visit.We went to the other one first. It was a ghost town, and for good reason - the selection was sparse and what little was there was overpriced. When we came to this one, the difference was night and day. Theres even a restaurant next door with some great pho and hu tieu.

I really like this place. Reminds me of the Asian market at home in Georgia. Very quaint and small but full of many items to try. I would definitely go back.

If you are claustrophobic do NOT go here. It is very small and cramped. The owners really need to think about moving to a different location. It’s also hard to find parking.

I went to liên hoa supermarket today and the owner made mistakes. He charged me 2 items that not belong to me, I came back inside and talk to him but he kept saying that the transaction was right. He is not honest. I told him take a look on everything that I bought but he ignored me and didnt resolve the problem.Guys double check everything that you buy at this store before you leaving.

The cashier is the one putting your card in the thing, which is weird, and hopefully the cashier will smile more like the bag lady who always has a smile on her face

Review №26

This is a vietnamese grocery store with extensive food varieties. The staff is friendly but was a bit busy in inquiries. different types of meats, vegetables and variety of leaves like pandan and pennyworth are present here. The prices are towards the cheap side. Better if the prices are correctly marked. The aisles are a bit narrow but the cleanliness is at a good level. Good place for a quick visit. Recommended.

Review №28

Lien Hoa is the perfect Vietnamese grocery store because it has almost everything you’d need for Vietnamese cooking. They have ready-to-eat Vietnamese snacks that they made themselves fresh every day.They also have a lot of stuff for Chinese and Thai cooking as well. On some days they have fresh seafood such as shrimps, crabs, and fish.

Review №31

Since I had to drive an hour to go to this store. I had called ahead of time and asked if they carried and sold salmon belly. They told me they did. I drove to this place only to be told that they dont sell salmon belly and they were trying to give me cut up salmon. The worse part is, they dont seem to care and they just shrugged it off. So, I guess.. I wont be coming back to this place again.

They had a wide variety of fresh produce, meat, fish, groceries. I was looking for a particular snack cracker peanut mix that the Brandon oriental market carries, but they didnt have it. I felt extremely out of place, however. I got a lot of stares and didnt get a welcoming vibe from anyone in the store. I will not go back.

Great prices!!! No one asked if I needed help though, so it took me a while to find what I needed which was only 2 items. I just wander around until I found it.Most things are labeled in their language which was totally expected.Its pretty well organized so youll find what you need, but heads up... theres a lot of stuff in that small place, so there shelving and displays are jammed packed.Definitely going back!

Great products and prizes. But horrible service. Looking for a particular product person I ask for help just wave me oway with her hand not even words. Little did they know that I’m fluent in tiếng Việt. So I actually understood what you told your co worker. Won’t be shopping there anymore. Lost a customer for life.

Great Asian market! A lot of general Asian food, specializing in Vietnamese, but almost every thing you would need for any Asian recipe you are putting together. They have one of the largest noodle selections I have ever seen.. huge, takes up a whole room by itself. Lot of fresh fruit and veggies, and a great seafood market also.

Review №71

Great viet store. The fish and meat is fresh. A lot of variety in food selection. Staffs are extremely friendly. I been to other Asian market like MD and they only have powder to make Pho. This store have the actual ingredients to make real Pho, there many more items to make authentic dishes. Also if you a vegetarian than you up happy with their selection. They have vegan sausage, fish, etc etc. It in 1 refrigerator next to their instant noodles. A lot of vegetable selections. Like fresh viet mint. If you a fan of Paris By Night they have the dvd on sale at the front counter. Many exotic fruits.

My most favorite Vietnamese and oriental market in Chicago. The vegetable is always fresh. Also, there were several stir-fried cuts of beef, short rib, ground beef, and pork. Everything Vietnamese ingredient could be found here, even some extreme rare like Balut eggs. They even sell pork bones and beef bones for making broth. They were all affordable. A must go place for any DIY Vietnamese cuisine lover.

Review №77

Agree that this place is a rip-off. First a lot of items dont have a price so I guess its up to make them up as they go. Second, when they do have prices they are not the same as when you checkout. Avoid, go to any of the other oriental markets in the area that are honest and Give them your business!!!

They have a ton of variety. Lots of oriental (mostly catering to the vietnamese community) products. Theyve got meat, veggies, tofu, noodles, etc. The only bad part is that its super congested and not handicapped friendly.

Review №98

Omg the parking lot is nearly impossible to get in,out and to maneuver around, also none to zero parking spaces. Amount of selection is okay. Owner is very rude/shady and disrepectful. Need better labeling on the vegetables and clean out the vegetable fridges. Meat area needs some upgrades and attention if you want people to buy meat from back there. Only positive is that they sure do have lots of Noodles/Ramens selection.
