500629 Wed Mar 19 09:39:12 -0700 2008 26 6 Southwest 0 3507359 Some that come to mind immediately: - Ranch Market in Phoenix - Ranch Market (Super L) at COFCO - Lee Lee Oriental Market in Chandler What other ethnic markets are out there? Wed Mar 19 09:39:12 -0700 2008 11583 ipsedixit 1 3507458 define ethnic... there are a number of jewish/kosher markets in town now as well, and there must be tons of carnicieras around... there's an asian market that's been around a while on the west side Western Market 4208 W. Dunlop Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85051 (623) 915-9330 and apparently another north of there.. Song Song Oriental Seafood Market 10430 North 19th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85021 (602) 943-7277 Wed Mar 19 10:03:23 -0700 2008 3507359 13333 hzp 2 3507572 I think those are definitely ethnic. Thanks for the heads up. Wed Mar 19 10:31:38 -0700 2008 3507458 11583 ipsedixit 2 3508844 I have been to a good Middle Eastern Market just South of Greenway on Cave Creek (on the West side of the street). They sell prepared foods there as well (including hot items, like Falafel sandwiches if I am not mistaken). I have never got the prepared foods, but have had good experiences getting grocery items. Wed Mar 19 15:47:55 -0700 2008 3507458 45848 Booger 1 3507810 Asiana Market in Glendale. We just visited it for the first time last weekend. It's a large Korean market with lots of prepared foods - marinated kalbi and bulgogi, kimchee, panjan, etc - a butcher counter, seafood counter, great produce section, and also a wide selection of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian groceries. Wed Mar 19 11:24:54 -0700 2008 3507359 10271 Rubee 2 3507934 That's Glendale? I thought it was in Phoenix by a few blocks. Wed Mar 19 11:57:57 -0700 2008 3507810 21290 Firenza00 3 3507963 I'm not sure, I'm new to the area and followed the address listed on the internet, which says Glendale. Wed Mar 19 12:04:40 -0700 2008 3507934 10271 Rubee 4 3507974 No prob. The street address is correct. It's in the NW corner of UH and 43rd Ave. We usually go to Leelee's or Ranch, but Asiana is closer if we only need a couple items. Wed Mar 19 12:08:32 -0700 2008 3507963 21290 Firenza00 5 3507978 Thanks, good to know! Wed Mar 19 12:10:04 -0700 2008 3507974 10271 Rubee 2 3508573 I think there's another one of these on Southern & Dobson in Mesa, in the strip mall with Hodori, Dragonfly, and the Hong Kong Chinese Restaurant. I haven't been in it in years but I remember it was also mostly Korean products. Wed Mar 19 14:25:50 -0700 2008 3507810 27844 sistinas 3 3508897 Yep. That's a Korean market... they're also opening a new one more southeast of there, too. Wed Mar 19 16:06:00 -0700 2008 3508573 141035 oryza 1 3507950 Baiz Market on 20th St south of Roosevelt. It's a really nice Middle Eastern market with an very good restaurant inside. I love their chicken shwarma sandwich. I haven't been yet, but Shish Kebab House in Glendale was supposed to move to a new location across the street from their existing location with a market as well as restaurant inside. The move was scheduled for the end of Feb/beginning of March. The new location is the NW corner of Olive and 51st Ave. There's a British market at Hayden/Thomas or Hayden/Osborn in Scottsdale. There's also a small Euro/Indo market at 16th St and Bell. I can't remember the name. It's in the plaza on the SE corner. Andreoli's is an Italian market that has a lot of fans. There's another Italian market at Scottsdale and Shea (NE corner) who's name escapes me. Wed Mar 19 12:01:30 -0700 2008 3507359 21290 Firenza00 2 3507976 Adding Andreoli's place link. Wed Mar 19 12:09:16 -0700 2008 3507950 21290 Firenza00 2 3508689 That's Guido's on Scottsdale and Shea. Combo market and restaurant. Good food, and they have broasted chicken. Wed Mar 19 15:03:03 -0700 2008 3507950 58128 ajs228 1 3508273 Romanelli's (Italian) at 35th Ave and Dunlap. Giado's World Market (Middle Eastern) at Guadalupe and Dobson - Giado's also carries halal meats, fresh dill, sweet lemons, and other produce, feta, olives. Wed Mar 19 13:16:34 -0700 2008 3507359 11599 Alice Letseat 2 3508669 Manila Market on the southwest corner of 35th Ave and Dunlap ( right near Romanelli's) has a good variety of Asian, Indian, even some African items. New Tokyo Market at 3435 W. Northern is a lovely Japanese market in the same neighborhood. My all time favorite is Haji-Baba's at 1513 East Apache in Tempe, which also serves Middle Eastern food in its restaurant. Wed Mar 19 14:56:04 -0700 2008 3508273 47777 janeh 1 3508769 A co-worker has told me about Ishtar Market, on 35th ave and Thunderbird. She says it's a great middle eastern market, and they have a really good selection of olives. Wed Mar 19 15:24:30 -0700 2008 3507359 58128 ajs228 2 3508855 Place Link. Wed Mar 19 15:50:59 -0700 2008 3508769 58128 ajs228 1 3508777 Saffron Market in north Scottsdale (FLW at the 101, southwest corner; near Rubio's & the Callebaut chocolate shop) has a good variety of middle eastern stuff. I was looking for pomegranate molassas last Christmas, & they had several to choose from. Wed Mar 19 15:27:10 -0700 2008 3507359 93267 emmaAmethyst 1 3508910 Middle Eastern Bakery & Deli Haji Baja DeFalco's Italian Grocery & Deli Wed Mar 19 16:10:08 -0700 2008 3507359 67548 azhotdish 1 3509028 Two small ones not many people know about: Village Market (Korean) @ Southern and Mill in Tempe... SE corner I believe. I adore this place. Some of the employees work at both here and the Asiana Market in Mesa. (I can't remember the exact name) Small Japanese grocery store @ University and Priest. It's TINY but has a -couple- things you can't get other places. Wed Mar 19 16:47:20 -0700 2008 3507359 176173 omynxo 2 3511059 Thanks for the heads up about the Village Market! I never actually went in there but for some reason (probably the name) I thought it was just a generic grocery store that had replaced the Gentle Strength Co-op. I'll have to stop in there soon. Thu Mar 20 10:00:36 -0700 2008 3509028 27844 sistinas 1 3509394 The options right around my house: Vietnamese/East Asian: *Loi Nam Market--Small supermarket. Haven't visited this store in a while, so I'm reluctant to give an overview. *Loi Phat Market--Small supermarket with jumbled shelves of housewares, spices, noodles, and various other dry goods. Meat and seafood counter are commensurate with the size of the market. Also, the store has a small take-out food operation near the very Southeast Asia-centric produce section. Mexican/Latino: *Phoenix Farms--Small supermarket with in-house bakery, tortilleria, and deli. Produce is generally iffy to OK. Decent meat and cheese counters, but of course, Ranch Market blows them away. Middle Eastern: *Al-Haramine Market--Very small shop with limited selection of mostly canned and dry goods and a small cold case of dairy products (e.g., yogurt, lebneh) *Selam Market‎--haven't visited, could be defunct now Similar to Phoenix Farms in scope and size, but nowhere near my house, is Rancho Grande market in south Phoenix. Rancho Grande's meat and cheese counters are not as extensive as those at Phoenix Farms. Baiz (already mentioned) is a great option for Halal meats, Middle Eastern staples, and fresh produce. The in-house deli is a nice place to grab a bite before or after shopping. When I lived in Tempe, I took advantage of the student-friendly prices at Haji Baba's restaurant and occasionally would shop there for cheese, olives, and canned and dry goods. I haven't been there in a good long while, so I don't know what things are like these days.

Stanley's Sausages at 23rd st. and McDowell - not just sausages, but rye bread and lots of other staples for the Eastern Europoean kitchen. Fri Mar 21 09:22:36 -0700 2008 3509919 11599 Alice Letseat 1 3513438 I notice a lack of Indian markets mentioned, so I'll throw in Little India in Tempe. Plus they serve fresh chaat dishes. Thu Mar 20 22:21:26 -0700 2008 3507359 17424 zebcook 2 3514076 Oh! Good to know. Baiz also carries some Indian seasonings in the spice aisle. ps. If you know of any other casual spots that serve chaat, I'd like to hear about them. Thanks! Fri Mar 21 07:49:42 -0700 2008 3513438 86822 hohokam
