We loved the Asian Food Center. Where else can you walk right into a produce isle dotted by the exotic Dragon fruit, Jack Fruit, and Durian? We took home the Dragon and Jack Fruits and YouTubed it to make we weren't eating any undigestible parts. Fish at Asian Food Center was my other curiosity. There are live tanks full of fish I know not the name of, and lots of other fish on ice. I went home with Thai Snapper and Butterfish in the whole and two salmon heads cut up. They will clean your fish, cut off the tail, cut off head, and cut into steaks if you would like for free. There are men working behind the glass fish counter walls. It was 5 minutes later and my fish was cleaned and bagged. We were noticing Tiwanese imported Kimchi, and Chinese imported Mochi a bit cheaper. Went home and tried the mochi to acceptable standards, but found my Kimchi excellent. The sake is in limited amounts. Didn't see local Sake One brews. It's possible I overlooked them. We went home with bunch of snacks, Bakery items, and drinks as well. Looking forward to my next Asian Food Center finds.

This is a newish asian grocer where Marshalls used to be in a strip mall thats main claim to fame was a Petco and Red Robin. It seems priced between H mart and Uwajimaya. I was going to give this place 4 stars because as nice as it is, and as packed with good stuff, it is small. Then I saw the live seafood tanks! Is that live ells? Yes it was! Don't get me wrong, I am not going to eat them, but I did like watching them in the tank so easy 1 star for that. The produce was beautiful and the store had a nice selection of goods, I liked the layout. Not bad for a former Marshall's space.

H Mart is Korean, Uwajimaya is Japanese, Fubon is Vietnamese and Asian Food Center is Chinese. AFC is very similar to 99 Ranch - mostly a Chinese market with large sprinkles of Vietnamese and other South East Asian/other Asian foods. They have a big selection of produce and at a good price. Most of it seems solidly fresh (on par with H Mart though I think Uwajimaya might be more fresh). They have a wide selection of meats for cheap. My biggest complaint, which is the same with the every other Asian market (including Cali) is that they rarely carry my ultimate favorite instant noodles (Koka laksa). I had to buy 4 cases online to make up for it. They also have a good stock of snacks at good prices. They're also in a shopping center with HomeGoods, Petco and across from where I get my eyebrows done. There's tons of parking too. If I get homesick for Cantonese speaking people and need inspiration for some Chinese home cooking, I'll be sure to visit this place.

Asian marketplace with a good selection of fruits and vegetables for cheaper price. For example blueberries for $2 that sells for $4 in New Seasons. The produce is of good quality and they even sell some Indian veggies like Indian eggplant and they even banana leaf. Nice The aisles are a bit crowded so try to avoid peak times like weekend afternoon. They also sell some kick ass selection of sauces, oils and other stuff to make your own Asian food. I followed green curry recipe and got all the items here. The food came out so good that I never went to a Thai place for lunch that week ( humble brag) Overall a good shop for weekly grocery visit.

AFB is far and away the best stop for Asian groceries in the Beaverton suburbs. There are other options, like Uwajimaya (in my opinion, way overpriced for produce) and assorted Korean grocery stores (produce freshness is often compromised by low turnover), but this is far and away the best one-stop shop. Some tips, though, that are helpful for anyone shopping in an Asian grocery store: (1) Look for and check expiration dates. Let's just say that not all Asian grocers are particularly conscientious about taking food that's past its ideal shelf life off the shelves very quickly... do your due diligence! (2) Select produce carefully, inspecting for bruises and mushy spots. Some shoppers at Asian grocery stores in particular really don't take enough care with the produce in their frenzy to select the best fruits/veggies for themselves, which leaves the rest of us to pick our way through bruised fruits and picked-over veggies when we're particularly unlucky. (3) Have some cash -- I know for a fact that there's a credit card minimum here. I can't remember what it is, but there definitely is one, so if you're not planning on buying much, you should have a few dollars on hand just in case you don't meet the credit card minimum.

Food ... Asian food. Don't overthink this. The Asian Food Center should be the center of your shopping excursion for Asian food in Beaverton. There are some other choices, but what sets AFC apart isn't its Asian-ness or the food ... it's the fact that it is relatively clean for such a store and the prices are reasonable for the area. We stopped in for the usual assortment of exotic and not-so-exotic fruits and veggies that you just can't find at your local American Food Center. Along the way we picked up some fish, meats, sauces, frozen dumplings, tofu, and spices that were needed for my household. Since 3/4 of my household is from Asia, it's especially comforting to find such a well-kept supermarket with many of the comfort foods from China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and the rest of Southeast Asia. Asian Food Center is exactly that ... a center for food from Asia. Don't overthink this.

This was an Asian supermarket after my own heart. AFC has a wonderful selection of Asian produce and meat. A selection not based on one country, but on the entire region. However, if you take a closer look, the attention to detail and freshness is lacking. I like that their grocery options aren't specialized in one Asian country. Uwajimaya specializes in Japanese. H and G Mart's main offerings are Korean. Then they spread the Asian love to the other countries with a small section of an aisle here and there. AFC seems to give all of Asia a fair shake. Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Thai, etc. have more of a balanced representation here. The meat and seafood section has almost everything you would want and then some. Pork Belly, Duck, every bit of offal, and the usual suspects make this a great place for the specialized meats and cuts for Asian cuisine. However, where AFC truly failed was freshness. The freshness in the upfront items like produce and meats were fresh and neatly displayed. My journey into the refrigerated section was a shock. I perused many items on the shelf passed their expiration/best by date. I saw several packs of fresh noodles with mold. Lots of mold. My advice is to check the expiration date of everything you buy here. You are supposed to do that anyway, but it has become an afterthought to many. The attention detail here is not all encompassing. I'm probably coming back for the great meat and seafood department, but the amount of spoiled products that I have seen will make me think twice about making it my preferred destination.

This asian store is comparable to most asian grocery stores in the portland area. Definitely smaller than Fubonn, but cleaner and less smelly than most asian stores. Fruits and veggies are reasonably priced. The one issue I had was that I needed to buy ginger and they only sold ginger in a bag with several roots in it (priced per pound). It is hard for me to finish even one ginger root before it goes bad, so having to buy in larger quantities is not practical for me. Moving on, they sell other things here as well. They sell asian hair dyes (but Palty not among the selection when I visited), chinese sheet masks, and eating utensils. Overall a pleasant experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful
(4)Sovathana L.
One of the cleanest Asian supermarkets around. It's not the biggest, but offers a wide variety of all the food groups. I'm usually hesitant to buy produce at Asian supermarkets unless it's Uwajimaya or H-Mart, but I can buy it here and not worry. Even their meat section looks really organized and clean, intestines and all.
(4)Grace W.
Drove a little over an hour to get some asian groceries. It's a really clean place, more stars because they had a whole bunch of taiwanese products, including my fave "doufu pi," which i can't even find in chinatown grocery stores in NY. Asian food for dinner tonight!
(4)Devon W.
There is a minimum $5 card transaction even with debit, which incurs no credit precessing fee on their part. I had to leave my purchase at the register because I didn't feel like being forced to get more than I wanted.
(1)Carl Y.
This is a great addition to this mall. Now we can have dim sum, sushi, and shop in the same mall. Being from an area where Asian food and markets barely exist at any higher level of quality, this market seems like nirvana. When we come to PDX, we like to stay on the Beaverton-Lake Oswego side of town, so we feel like we hit the bullseye with this new market. Clean, well stocked, and mostly Chinese centric (compared to Japanese centric, Uwijamiya), this really fits our likes. They have every type of noodle, seasoning, sauce, and tofu product, especially dried ones. And any Chinese market that carries over a dozen types of sausages (lop cheongs), dried salted fish (hom yui), and salted duck eggs is authentic in my book. And one day, I'll show fellow Yelper and friend, Michele R., how to use those tiny anchovies in oil. ;-) Great looking meat counter, fresh fish, and specialties. No Chinese roasted meats or fowl, as far as I could see, though. They still do mostly the Saran wrapped veggies, but not exclusively. But I'd rather select my own and amount. Small selection of cookware, but pretty diverse. They did have clay pots at a lot cheaper price tha Amazon. Hooray for them. I would love for them to have Chinese takeout and roasted meats. So I can't give them 5 stars until then. If we lived near a real Chinese market with authentic takeout and roasted meats/fowls, I'd probably forget how to cook Chinese food. Service is good. Checkout is fast. Again, a great addition to the area. Too bad we don't have enough Chinese to bring one to Boise, since the Chinese once were a heavy percentage of Boise in the post gold rush days.
(4)Kim D.
I was so excited when I saw the signs go up that this grocery store was going to be opening soon. I was a little disappointed when it finally opened. There is a small chinese store around there that I would prefer to shop at. This place is a little more expensive then other asian stores. When I judge an asian store, I judge it by freshness of the food and by price. This store is okay in both areas, but there are better asian stores around. I have been there a few times since then and prices and freshness have remained the same. There is a lot of parking spaces and the parking lot is easy to get into and out of.
(3)Amy L.
Lots of taiwanese food and asian dried herbs. Even have items I can't get at Uwajimaya or Hmart. A solid place if you are looking for Chinese ingredients/groceries. The cuts of meat/seafood here is cheaper than buying at Uwajimaya. Place is very clean and neatly organized. I would come back here again.
(5)Jenny H.
I'm so happy this new Asian supermarket opened up! Grand opening was 10/18/13. It's a pretty big size and it's new so everything was very clean. They have tons of Taiwanese snacks that I couldn't find at Uwajiyama so I happily stocked up. If you're from california, this place will remind you of Ranch 99. I'll definitely be coming here a lot in the future.
(4)DA Y.
Excellent choice of grocery items. I get most of what I need here. Prices are reason able and its clean. They also have pork belly, a good selection of teas. They mostly gear towards the Chinese and Taiwanese market.
(5)Michele R.
Opened in October as extension of the Bellevue WA based mother-ship store, this Chinese centric food market also has other Asian food specialty items. In the same way Beaverton located Uwajimaya, an extension of the Seattle based mother-ship store, is Japanese centric food market but also with other Asian food specialty items. Overall the scale of shopping in this bright and well organized store is a much better fit for me. I feel completely overwhelmed by the megastore size of Uwjimaya and more at home with size here if I'm looking for specialty food items from Chinese to Japanese to Thai. Prices on things I'm able to compare also seem better here. PRODUCE Yesterday I was on the hunt for Mosambi (sweet lime) and Gai-Lan (Chinese broccoli). They had both in the splendid produce department. My favorite part of the store, if there is a disappointment for produce it is the number of things that are in plastic wrapped trays or bags. As examples, although they had three kinds of Asian eggplant it was shrink wrapped in multiples and the Gai-Lan was in a plastic bag. I prefer selecting my own items and quantities. AISLES OF SPECIALTY PRODUCTS ON SHELVES AND FREEZER CASES It seems maybe ninety percent of shoppers had Asian heritage, which makes me feel as if the store is authentic in the same way an Italian food specialty market full of people of my hubby's Italian heritage would. Since I am largely clueless about how to cook Asian food delights, many of the items on the shelves were mysteries to me and I wished I knew more about them. (For example, how does one use those uber teeny little anchovies packed in chili oil?) For things I do know how to use, like rice vinegar or rice noodles or wood ear mushrooms or preserved daikon or soba, I was delighted by the number of options. I also appreciated that almost all labeling on shelf tags had English text as well as Asian language characters. FISH & MEAT The fish section, although not huge in size, contained an amazing choice of fresh whole fish with shiny bright eyes packed in ice. White bass, big tail section filet of halibut, Norwegian mackerel, catfish...maybe three dozen different kinds of fresh fish. Also live tanks for blue crab, Dungeness crab and lobster. My husband was amazed by the different cuts of pork in the butcher section. Having grown up in Brooklyn where Italian pork stores were part of the landscape, he was intrigued by how unique the meat cuts were here. On the rare occasions we purchase animal meats we like to know about the origins for sustainability and humane husbandry of the animals and that is something we didn't know how to ask about here. SERVICE The folks at the register were friendly and the young woman helping us spoke English far better than I speak the Chinese that is her first language, which is to say I speak Chinese not at all. Good for her. THIS N THAT: 1) OTHER: A small housewares section but not the selection of Uwajimaya. Also no prepared foods section in this store, which Uwajimaya has. . 2) PARKING: Big strip mall parking lot was mostly full of cars in spite of several vacant storefronts. Look for Catherine's Plus Sizes and Sally's Hair Supply as neighbors for this market. 3) ACCESSIBILITY: Accessible parking outside. Level in entry and throughout with plenty of space in aisles.
(4)Scott N.
Asian Food Center is located in the Canyon Place Shopping Center. This is a large shopping center so the parking situation is very good. As far as groceries go, Asian Food Center would fit into the middle. Considerably larger than your average Mom and Pop store but nowhere near as large as Uwajimaya. The interior is very well laid out and well organized. Asian Food Center sports a long meat/seafood counter and the produce area is spacious. However, some of the aisles are very tall and narrow. Encounter a large family with shopping carts and you'll be saying "excuse me" a lot at Asian Food Center. As with any other grocery store some of the prices are competitive and some are not. On my visit Asian Food Center was selling pork baby back ribs for $5+ per pound (very high) and Atlantic salmon for around $8 per pound (very reasonable.) One Yeep felt that the house ware section at Asian Food Center was small. However, I disagree. In my opinion Asian Food Center has one of the best cookware sections in town. Very well displayed and laid out. Found me a large marble wok for under $25. Other honorable mentions are the refrigerated and frozen sections. Asian Food Center also offers an incredible selection of pastas both dried and fresh. They even have pasta from Italy and Myanmar! One major criticism. If you need help at Asian Food Center I would recommend going to the friendly and nice people at the cash register. The folks in the aisles act like they don't want to be bothered. Some people criticize Safeway for having their employees greet and offer to help their customers. Encounter the stocking crew at Asian Food Center and you'll understand why Safeway has such a policy. Nothing worse than a hostile and unfriendly grocery worker. Are there too many Asian grocery stores in the Beaverton area? Boy, I don't think so. The plethora of grocery stores keeps the retailers on their toes and gives us customers a wider choice. Asian Food Center is a good addition to the Beaverton grocery scene.
(3)Chris P.
Was glad that it is closer than other Asian market in SE, and been a regular customer, but just found out they "re-pack" broken packages with tapes regardless its quality and quantity--they only try to make it look like original and fool you to take it home. But, shouldn't you make sure the product is still safe to use? And i am wondering what they would treat the fresh meat and vegetable after they are no longer fresh? Repack it and put a new date on it? Make a new name and make a new item out of it?
(1)Lih-Wern W.
It's a decent place for Chinese groceries. The produce is about as fresh as H-Mart but you do seem to pay a little bit more than H-Mart. They have an ok selection of items. If you live on the westside, it's a good place to go to save you from driving further out. If I have time, I usually go to H-Mart, however, as it has wider selection for produce with just a tad bit better prices. They do not accept American Express.
(3)Kasey N.
Updated review-- Good prices and selection for Asian canned goods and produce!! However... The middle of the store has been smelling like sewage for the past month or so... Not sure what is going on, but it really needs to be aired out! Its really disconcerting, especially since the butcher area is like 20 feet away. If its coming from an old spill/problem then it should be cleaned better... And if its coming from the butcher area... Well then I'm not buying my meats here anymore :(
(3)Elyse L.
Happy to discover my new favorite Asian food store! AFC opened in October 2013 and a friend recommended I check it out. A little tucked away in the corner of Beaverton Town Square but it's in a convenient location for other grocery shopping (Fred Myers, Trader Joe's). The interior is new, clean and spacious. It's well organized and easy to navigate. PRODUCE Bok Choy heaven, so many varieties. Pick one, you won't go wrong. There are dozens of fruits and veggies I have never heard of before, I suggest coming armed with your smartphone to look up these mystery items, they likely have powerful antioxidants and many nutritional benefits. Everything out looked fresh and of the items I purchased, were clean and flavorful. The produce section also has fresh bulk foods (think kelp noodles and tofu) located on the left. FROZEN / REFRIGERATED FOOD I've never seen so many dumplings and pot-stickers in my life. WOW! There is also a great variety of eggs (I noticed tiny Quail eggs!), tofu (strips, rolls, marinated, noodles, silken, etc!), fresh noodles (vermicelli rice, ramen, sweet potato, egg), and different types of miso paste. EVERYTHING ELSE If you are looking to spice up your dinners, look no further than spice aisle complete with sauces, spices, chiles, fried garlic, ginger and other things I couldn't quite identify but definitely have potential. You may also get lost in the cookie and snack isle, complete with every variety of rice cracker and nut/sesame-seed/dried fruit bar. The end caps and bins have great deals and value-packages of rice, beans and other dry goods. The prices are great and really can't be beat (cough cough Uwajimaya). Allow for plenty of time when you come; it's fun to browse and see the amazing product variety in each section.
(4)Dian K.
Yay! It's like having a Fubonn on the West side. After reading about it, I had to immediately check it out. Big, bright and clean - it has fresh produce, meat (also sliced meat ready for hot pot) and all the snacks and spices needed. Price is cheaper than Uwajimaya and it's a tad closer to where I usually shop so definitely a very nice addition for me. This store was built where Marshalls used to be. Parking might be tight (especially on the weekend) because I went during a weekday and it was pretty packed. The only thing they're lacking is ready-to-eat food/bakery stuff.
(4)Summer A.
I'm really conflicted about his place... It has a lot of great stuff but they have a cleanliness/smell issue that makes me choose making trips to multiple different stores at higher prices most of the time. It is seriously one of the worst smells ever. It seems like it comes from the meat department but I am not sure. It is kind of concerning.
(2)Robert K.
johnnysunshinelovesyoumore This place is a crustation lover's paradise. They have it all& live. They're prices are great & staff helpful.
(5)VaLois S.
This is a great place to shop for groceries. The prices are really decent. On average I walk out with 5 bags of groceries for around $70.00. Most of which are veggies, one bag will be assorted meats. And if you buy fish, they will clean it and prep it, according to what you would like. The assortment of fresh noodles is amazing.
(5)Matthew W.
I really do not like posting negative things about businesses but I think other potential shoppers have a right to know of our experience. They do have a good variety of product, however, their customer service is sadly lacking. My wife and I bought a package of shiitake mushrooms as the price was pretty good. We had bought a previous package without any trouble. But this time they had a funny smell, which unfortunately we did not notice until later in the car when something smelled like a skunk. We misplaced our receipt but figured based on previous experiences with reputable stores that they would allow us to exchange them. Unfortunately they "could do nothing" without the receipt.. So I left their spoiled mushrooms with them and told them that I hope permanently losing a customer was worth $5.69. Caveat emptor.
(1)Gecel F.
This is a pretty good asian grocery store. It is located in a small shopping center where you can also find sushi, dim sum, sandwiches, clothing stores and a Petco, and there is usually a good amount of parking available. Inside is pretty clean and well-stocked. They have a large seafood and meat counter. Sometimes they will have lowered prices on meat in the aisle, however it's always a gamble so be careful. (Having the runs from their meat is no fun.) I've also noticed that the prices of meat here is more expensive than if you were to go to Winco, which is strange because in California it was the other way around. For the most part, they have a good selection of items but they do not carry everything that I am looking for. Being that this place is the closest to my house, this is my go-to asian grocery store and then I just travel to East Portland for the rest of my ingredients. The bad part is that a lot of times their vegetables are questionable in quality. Lots of wilting produce, which forces me to put them back down and just go without.
(4)Jen E.
oh my I love, love, love this place!!! It is not a huge store however it is big. I found a lot of variety and couldnt stop putting things into my basket. They have a huge selection of hot pot meats.... which for those of you who dont know ..... it is super thin sliced meat. They had duck, chicken, all sorts of beef.... then you go a little farther and you see the fish..... lots of fish, lots of fish that are not popular in the US.... but cant wait till I try it. I ended up with a package of duck wings (for less than 3 bucks I got a good sized package) a package of blue berries that smelled wonderful for like 1.50... the prices are great.... they even had flank steak for like under 5 bucks a pound. I noticed a huge selection of different types of dumplings ranging from Shumi, potstickers, steamed buns etc.... lots of frozen fish and meat and boneless goat..... it is hard to find chopped goat without the bones still being in it.... yay!!!!! I ended up walking out of there with 2 bags packed full with different meats, veggies, dumplings, sauces etc.... for about 40 bucks...... cant wait to try it all out!!! oh and the best part...... 90% of everything I picked up even to just look at it ....... also had writing in english as well as Japanese or Chinese.... so yay for that
(4)Linda C.
I was super excited to learn that a large Asian food store was opening up. When I found out that it was opened, I was even more psyched to check it out. First impressions, it is a large and spacious space. I like the layout. I especially like the produce and meat/seafood departments. I am glad I don't have to travel clear to the east side for meat. A lot of the stuff reminded me of Fubonn except there isn't any Hmong sausage. I didn't see a deli or hot food section, that would be nice to add but totally understandable if not considering Jinwah and Sushiland are on the same shopping strip. They were still setting up the fish tanks so there isn't any live seafood yet but the seafood they did have out looked pretty fresh. The rice selection was a little disappointing for me. I was hoping the brands were more SE Asian but they sell the same rice that you would find at Uwaijimaya just a little further down the street. It would also be nice if there were signs over the aisles so you know which to walk down on. I found myself walking through all the aisles numerous times looking for ingredients that all ended up along the same aisle. All in all, I do like this place. The prices are reasonably cheap. Now who do I need to talk to about having Hmong sausage available for sell?
(4)Mikhail H.
What a great store! The prices are pretty amazing and they have a wonderful selection of meats, fish and produce. We definitely plan to shop here a lot.
(5)Molly B.
I just moved from the East coast to the West, after visiting most of the Asian grocery around town, I am impressed by Bai Jia Asian Food Center with the quality of food selections and the affordable price range. I am very excited finding out this place is ran by a Taiwanese owner. The store is nicely designed and clean, they offer lots of good products from Taiwan, Japan...etc I would say most produce and fruits are very fresh, there are some are not as fresh, but overall it's the best Asian grocery store I have ever visited.
(4)Kim S.
I can't believe they don't have fermented soybean curd! It's a Chinese staple! Ok, I don't know for sure that they don't have it. However, customer service sucked! I asked a guy who could speak English if they had any, he said he didn't know what it was. Then he sent me to a Chinese speaking guy who didn't understand what I was saying. I couldn't believe it! I must have gone through that store for a good twenty minutes looking for this. Then the girl at the checkout was not pleasant at all. She rung my stuff up, then started grabbing the next person's stuff and I said it wasn't mine. Then she proceeded to undo the last item that was mine....really? And didn't even apologize for the mistake. The impression on her face made her look like we inconvenienced her somehow! I went to a smaller Vietnamese store and found the fermented soybean curd. Wow!
(2)Faye F.
I'm glad they opened up a bigger asian supermarket in Beaverton. i wish though that it had as much stuff as uwajimaya and fubonn combined. i don't think i'll ever be as satisfied with the asian supermarkets up here; CA has spoiled me so much with ranch 99 and seafood city, etc. this place is clean and does offer plenty of items that even uwajimaya doesn't have, but they also lack so many things. they had plenty of aisles with missing price tags, so that was primarily one of the reasons i didn't buy so much items here. they seem to have great choices of seafood, which is perfect, but their produce is kinda lacking. the service here is pretty nice and they're not creepily walking down the aisles making sure you don't steal anything (ahem uwajimaya). i wish this place can grow more in terms of products, specifically filipino products; this was the biggest upset for me.
(3)Brooke B.
A lot of variety with canned and packaged goods? Yes. But the place smells like a 10-year old dirty diaper (especially around the meat and seafood, which is concerning - fresh shouldn't smell like that) and the staff is rude! And cash only under $5?? This is a grocery store / ridiculous! I don't think that I can stand the smell or the attitude enough to go back.
(2)Topaze W.
Just got done shopping with my mom and our experience was ok. I like the selections of tea and coffee. I was able to find my Boba Milk Tea Powder for $7.49! That is a good price compared to Amazon where I first purchased it. My mom bought some snacks that had an expiration dated July 26, 2013. Wtf?! This place doesn't have a bakery either. The pricing is ok. Not coming back.
(2)MaryBeth D.
This was a fun store, if you are into lots of fresh fish this is the place. They have so many interesting things such as a whole chicken chilling in a bag, I mean head to toe whole chicken. We had a blast just walking around looking.
(4)Matt L.
I read some friends reviews of this place and wanted to check it out since it's closer than a few other Asian markets that I normally frequent. I loved the fact that it's clean and new and the meat/seafood dept doesn't smell like some other places. The produce dept looked nice and kept well stocked and I picked up what I needed along with a box of Asian pears :-) Checkout was friendly and quick. The only negative for me would be the big deep hand-carts that I lugged around to put groceries in. Fortunately, I ran into a friend that was pushing it around. I didn't realize that it had wheels and you can pull out a different handle to push or pull the cart. If I wanted to push or pull a cart around, I would have gotten a full sized cart. I would rather not load that up then have to lift it up to the checkout. It's really not too big a deal, but FYI, if you're shopping for just a few items, it's best if you just forgo the cart all together and just carry the items. Overall Rating: 80% Price: 3/5 Customer Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 4/5 Location: 4/5 Parking: 4/5
(4)Ashley L.
If I could then I wouldn't even give this place a one star. This is the worst customer service that I have ever experienced. There weren't anyone to help me find what I needed (and I am that type, I usually do not ask for help unless I really need it). Also when I went to go check out my items, I asked them to ring up a 50lb bag of rice for me. Mind you I was 8 months pregnant. The bags of rice are near the register and the cashier told me to carry the bag up to the register to ring it up. (All Asian stores, even the little ones do it for you and bring it out to your car) I told the lady that I didnt want them and paid for my groceries. Then she gave me an attitude say," if you no buy, you no ask ok?" What the hell? Then I spoke to their manager about his rude employee and he just shrugged. When I left the store many of the customers said the staff there was very rude to me and most Asian store would ring up the rice and bring it out for them. I will never shop there again.

After surviving serious sticker shock at Uwajimaya, I found Asian Food Center! THANK GOD!!!!! It's actually closer to me, they had the roasted black bean paste I went to Uwa for( but did not have) in the first place, the prices are half of what you'd expect at other places, AAAAAAAAAAND, they have the coolest red pull/carry carts!

Originally went there on a group on, please bring that back it was awesome. So for starters bright and clean. They have a huge selection and a friendly staff to help. I originally headed out to grab the last few things for a Shakshuka and realized as I got into the store what brought me back. I am an unapologetic, " I will try it all once" foodie, and this place fits the bill perfectly. For all you carnivores they have a great selection. They have chicken, beef, pork in all different cuts. Ducks heads, chicken feet (my kids love em, but haven't tried cooking them my self yet), and Rabbit (which up until today I was fairly sure you had to kill yourself if you wanted to eat it, so I am gonna find a recipe and go back). I got all the stuff I needed for a killer stir fry, my Shakshuka, and then ran across banana hot sauce. Yes, yes I know my sweet Sriracha we hadn't discussed this, but I think I need to see other sauces and we have been together a lot lately. I promise I won't stray too far but I need some variety. Plus Banana Hot Sauce falls right into the "Haven't tried yet: category so into the cart it went. I didn't have time to browse as much as I wanted and sadly lack the knowledge to use a large portion of the products, but that's what cookbooks are for, right? So in short, the rest of Beaverton can keep Uwajimaya. It's nice, but the selection here is just as good, and the prices are way better.

SO glad that there is a new, large (and cheap: ahem, Uwajimaya) Asian grocery store on the West side. Driving all the way out to SE Portland for food takes forever! Located right off the Beaverton TC MAX line, Asian Food Center is pretty well stocked, though my mom said there were a few things missing on her list (chili bean sauce, whatever that is). Regardless, all the important things are there - fresh produce, meats, frozen and dry goods. Even more importantly, all the prices are very comparable to any big Asian grocery store on the East side (i.e. Fubonn, Hong Phat). There is a really good selection of bottled beverages and snacks and sweets, I had a fun time browsing through them all. They also have many varieties of teas for the tea aficionado out there. The parking lot is shared with other stores, so I can see it getting cramped once the word gets out about this awesome new store. Definitely check this place out for your Asian grocery needs!

One would have to drive to 82 ave in Portland to find such large selection of Asian good. The have stuff I can not find elsewhere.Asian Food Center is centered more on Chinese goods. As for price they are sometimes are cheaper than Uwajimaya but more expensive on the Japanese side. I go to both o Uwajimaya and Asian Food Center on a single outing and be set for the week.

Being a Sichuan native, I have searched near and far for authentic Sichuan spices and sauces. This place beats any other I have seen in the US. Seriously, folks, I am talking about 6 different Pixian Douban and tons of choices for hotpot spice mix. They must have buyers who know what they are doing! Keep it up!

I have always complained about Portland lacking of authentic Chinese grocery store, but here it is finally! Asian Food Center or Bai Jia is a big one offering variety of foods, and I am just so happy that I have found tons of authentic Chinese seasonings, ingredients and snacks (yes!). This is certainly a good add-on to Uwajimaya in the area. I wish they could have some bakery and cooked food area: bentos, noodles and alike. I will definitely go back for sure.

This is a huge store with so many options. The produce that I have bought here has been good quality. There is a wide variety of items in this store. I hope their baked goods section expands. They have a shelf for baked goods, and what I have bought, I've enjoyed, but I'd like more options. I really like the jelly tea drinks, but my favorite brand doesn't seem to be sold here. I prefer the regular tea, but typically what i see is banana flavored and lychee flavored. Overall, though, this place is amazing.

Decent asian market! Lots of stuff from hometown. Dumpling, buns, hotpot stuff, all kinds of sauces. Hope it'll be always there. Looking forward to the lunar new year shopping.

Finally, a substantial Asian food grocery store in the Beaverton area! This store is large enough (in the old Marshalls space)to have everything I usually go to Fu-Bonn or H-Mart for, including a meat and seafood counter, which look clean and fresh. The produce prices seemed on-par with Fred Meyer and the Asian food items seemed comparable to Fu-Bonn, for the most part. I'm so glad this location opened--I might not have to venture to 82nd street as often now! Everything and more for Chinese cooking!

This place is great! Clean, well organized, good selection, reasonably priced! There isn't a prepared food/deli section but everything they do have is really good. I was excited to see that their frozen section has a lot of variety - they even have veggie lumpia! Really happy to have another Asian market on the west side.

Dirty store with rude arrogant workers. Asked for popping boba for boba tea and the snotty older man mumbled..."never heard of it". Hey dude, get a clue as to the latest product from Thailand!. Went over to the competitor store Uwajimaya, and guess what? There it was sitting on the shelf!
