Purple Rice,

20 Elm Street, Potsdam, NY 13676

"Many people don't realize that you can buy fresh made lunch here and not just groceries. Alex makes a tasty Asian inspired lunch each day, Monday through Friday. Each day only one type of dish is available. For example, on Thursdays she always makes sushi which always sells out fast. This visit, sweet and sour soup was available. The daily dish is generally available starting at noon or shortly after and is available until it sells out. Sometimes seaweed salad or kimchi is also available in the cooler. Not only is the food consistently delicious but Alex is always a delight to interact with. I highly recommend checking out Purple Rice for a grab and go lunch. I've never been disappointed."

"Great option for Asian products and produce in the North Country. Some occasional homemade soups and such which are always worth getting when they are available"

"What a fun place! They have itcsll, including very friendly and open service from ... I don't know who (we were visiting the area; maybe the owner, very knowledgeable), and that transformed the stop into a surprisingly pleasant experience."

"I've been meaning to go here for some time and I'm kicking myself that it took this long. I cook a lot of Korean food plus other dishes that use ingredients that are hard to find locally or cost an arm and a leg online. Purple Rice had a great selection, even while they're bouncing back from smoke damage from a neighboring location's fire. I was so happy to look around and find so much good stuff. Can't wait to go back. The owner is super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I'm so glad we have this store around here."

"The owner is very kind and knows what they have in their store. The selection is great (with items from all over Asia) with reasonable prices. You can find anything from fresh veggies to refrigerated snacks to frozen seafood platters for hotpot for which they have various soup bases. This store is definitely being added to my must visit list anytime I'm in Potsdam."
