Nam-Hai Oriental Food Market

Nam Hai is massive—seriously, plan extra time if it’s your first visit. I went in with one mission only: to try the viral ice cream everyone has been talking about. The ice cream is pricey (about $10 for a box of three), but the grape flavor was hands-down the best. It tasted exactly like a cold glass of grape Kool-Aid—super refreshing and nostalgic. Definitely worth trying at least once. If you’re looking for the viral ice cream, don’t make my mistake and wander through all the bag freezers. It’s actually up front on the left in a small chest freezer. They have a huge frozen food section, though I did notice some items with heavy frost/freezer burn that didn’t look very fresh. That said, there are things I’d absolutely go back for—especially harder-to-find items like large egg roll shell wrappers. Overall, Nam Hai is great for specialty finds, but go in with a plan… and maybe a map. 😅

What a neat experience. There is restaurant inside that I highly recommend. The Pho is clean, delicious and the environment is very welcoming. Once done eating you can head into the market and spend hours. They have fruits and vegetables that other markets will not carry. Gifts, cooking utensils, dinnerware, you name it.

I loved this store. They have fresh fish, crab, good size frozen shrimp and octopus. They have a wide selection of products not just from asia, I found Mexican products also. Aisle are a bit narrow but its ok I guess we get used to the big chains aisles. Good customer service, good inventory, good prices over all a great alternative to find fresh sea food in town. Still have mant great sea food options available.

Huge store. Very clean and organized. Latin products also available. Fresh and hot food available at lunch time. The spring rolls were phenomenal.
