Apologies if this thread already exists (I could not find it)....

Looking for recommendations on Asian Grocery stores in the MontCo and ChesCo area.

I know of a few Indian groceries in the area, but am looking for Thai and Chinese groceries as well.

Thanks
Percy

There's an Asian grocery in the Marchwood Shopping Center in Exton, just off of rt 100, down behind the Exton diner. It's small, but has some good stuff. There's a good Indian grocery almost next door too.

The Assi Korean market in North Wales is pretty great: large, clean, and excellent produce.

I second the Assi recommendation -- they have a nice food court too, with pretty decent Korean-Japanese food.

Well, I'll place my "me too" vote for Assi. Aside from the food court, which Diann mentioned, the selection is spectacular. In fact, their selection is so comprehensive that even their Mexican section is pretty good. I can find two different kinds of Mole sauces there that I simply can't get in most mainstream supermarkets, including Whole Foods.
