Tola Angkor Asian Market

It's a great little Asian market that leans towards Thai/Vietnamese with a smattering of other Asian countries foodstuffs mixed in for good measure. Take your time and really explore the place to find some great stuff. Like a lot of smaller places, check the expiration dates just to be sure. But don't let that deter you from going.

Lots of aisles chock full of all your Asian cuisine needs including fresh produce, meats, sauces, snacks, and kitchen tools. They even have musubi maker/sushi molds! Parking can be cramped and it can get quite busy depending on the time you go. The people are nice and helpful and are charging fair prices. Do not skip on the delicious spam musubi at the register! I'm so glad I caved and got one. It was incredibly tasty - licking my lips 5mins after! They make them Th-Sun right now and these were out at 9am. I'm definitely getting one or two 😆 every time I stop in at Tola Angkor Market from now on. What a treat! Highly recommend checking them out.

Nice Asian Market! The place is a little bit smaller and the isles can feel very narrow especially if there are two carts going either way. They have a decent selection of products from different parts of Asia. To-go baked goods are available at the counter and the pork buns are very good! Overall a good small market for Asian food and products.

I've been shopping here for a few years now,no issues so far. However,yesterday I purchased a bag of rice with a few pantry moth larvae and their webs in it and the rice is not returnable! If you sell products like this,you must accept returns and give customers refunds.

I love Asian Markets. I adore rooting around in their Chili sections like a pig looking for truffles. I love musing over the various kinds of Furikake like a librarian over ancient texts. Throw me into a sea of strange tea and don't even get me started on the frozen food section. I want every kind of chili oil on the planet and I want spices plugging every pore. Generally if I want the true immersion, I go down to Portland and make a day of it. Lunch at some place with a 20 page menu full of stuff I don't recognize and a few special places capping it off with The Big One, But here I happened to be passing this place and thought I'd drop in and see what this old blindingly white guy could find. It is true that sometimes venturing into these kinds of establishment can be a little daunting. The staff can look at you as if you an invading force, which might have some small historical relevance. Like you might be hesitant to ask for information, but I didn't feel that here. First thing, I loved the weathered and jumbled altar that greets you as you come in the door, sacred, camp, glitzy, and authentic. It reminded me of my youth traveling abroad. A wild mix of solid commercialism, optimistic luck, and a host of deities, or semi deities. I would suspect it keeps the bad spirits out, but it didn't work on me. The next thing I notice is the best selection of Furikake I've ever seen. a veritable cornucopia. There is so much to see, aisles packed with interesting things, I could spend a fortune here. More noodles than you could shake a stick at. At first it is a little confusing, like a market maze and the store feels like it might go on forever, but it's an illusion and it's not as big as I thought. I try and stay out of the candy and snack lanes but they have not only the oils and seasonings I want, but they have my favorite brands as well. It's crowded and the aisles are a bit tight, but if you've been to Asia, that is just the lay on the land. Get used to it and be ready to back down a lane a bit. Get some fried garlic in Chili oil or some Tom Yum paste. Try the Pandan or the shrimp paste. Don't be afraid of the Fish sauce or the MSG. The place is a treasure trove.
