Fresh International Market - Raleigh

Bo Weichel 2 months ago

My wife and walked in out of curiosity and we immediately realized we didn't know what most of the produce even was. It was Angel to the rescue! She is the produce manager. Well... she's much more than that! She helps us shop and taught us about the unfamiliar produce and products, how to prepare them, and explained what dishes the are used in. She had us so excited that we bought quite a bit! Then she took us to the hot food area and recomended what to get for lunch. She was spot on. Sooo good! We took home the "sell out" soy chicken! Angel should be recognized for her passionate concern for her store and its customers. Needless to say she knows her produce and we can't wait to visit again and get more recommendations.

Fresh International Market is a large Chinese supermarket in northwest Raleigh. It has everything you'd expect in an oriental market with an extensive selection of canned and packaged foods. The store has a large produce area with a good selection of Chinese veggies and a large seafood section. The staffed seafood department has a nice selection of fresh fish and frozen items. There is a hot food department where you can buy roast pork, duck or other prepared foods with tables to sit down and eat if you can't wait to take it home. There is also an in-store bakery with fresh baked goods. I used to drive to Cary to find decent Chinese supermarkets. Now those of us in Northern Wake county finally have a nice Asian market closer to home. Note: the parking is somewhat limited in the area. I suggest shopping here during the week if possible. On weekends, parking is absolutly nuts. Thursday and Fridays seem the best shopping days since the store staff are actively stocking the shelves for the weekend crowd.

This place has a really good selection of goods from across asia. It's our go to for almost everything my Filipino wife needs to cook. However I have noticed recently that the Filipino section of the store has been getting smaller. Still a great store though. Never over crowded or excessive lines.

Go here when you have some time to walk around and take it in. I didnt even see everything. The people there are friendly but maybe it was because I came later in the evening but no body could understand me except for one of the cashiers and the people that worked in the hot food station. She was a woman of color and she was super nice. I waited in line to ask about where the ice cream was and she took me straight to it. So I went back about 5x trying to find it and couldn't so she took me to it. I am going to try my best to explain where they are. As you walk around the outer perimeter you will pass the fresh meat, fish and frozen noodles. After the frozen noodles you will see the stand up freezers. If you walk to the corner of the freezers on the back wall you have went too far. As you approach the frozen stand up refrigerator they are on the left. Now I was looking in the corner of the freezers and I couldn't find them so the lady helped me. Look at them and make sure the shell hasn't broken apart. Remember its in the stand up freezers to the left before you approach the back wall. If not show them the picture I attached with the name on them. They are good! I wasnt sure of the

This international grocery store is a hidden jewel. This is a must see! From what I saw they have good prices and a nice variety of different types of food. You can get cooked food from the hot bar, create your own ramen, order food from the restaurant, or get something sweet from the bakery. I will definitely go back!
