Tran's World Food Market

"Wide variety of international food. Very kind and helpful staff."

"This is the best place in the valley (with the best prices) to buy fruit, particularly those that are harder to find in area chain grocery stores, like rambutan, lychee, mangosteen, guava, etc. As many are seasonal items, Tran's updates their Facebook page when they receive fresh shipments of fruit, along with a list of what came in. They are also often willing to give better prices on items purchased by the case, so if you have a favorite flavor of Ramune, a chest freezer, or simply prefer to buy your rambutan in units of five pound boxes, it's definitely worth inquiring about. And that's on top of their already very decent pricing. Side note: if you can't find something, just ask at the front. They will be able to tell you exactly where it is, and usually they'll even know whether it's in stock or not. Plus, the family that owns it is lovely, and besides shopping at other small stores like River Valley or Cornucopia, the alternate options are mega-corporations or a local chain that doesn't even value their employees enough to give them a store discount (something standard in the industry). Supporting small, local businesses just makes sense, especially when places like Tran's are available."

"Excellent store! Great owners, they are always so friendly and helpful! Always have my bitter melon.."

"A real treasure trove for anyone looking for everyday or extraordinary groceries and high quality, truly local produce. Excellent selection of Asian-sourced pantry items and foodstuffs alike. Keep an eye on their Facebook page for specials and new arrivals, especially of exotic fruits."

"Definitely worth stopping in! Excellent variety— staples such as rice, noodles, and seaweed, sauces, seasonings, frozen foods, and produce in the back of the store with snacks and desserts in the front. Many things come in various sizes as well with bulk sizes in items like rice and kimchi. (I do wish there was a fish-free kimchi available) I don’t find it to be a problem but aisles are narrow so it can be tight when another shopper is in the same one."
