Unideli At United Noodles - Minneapolis

A pretty solid Asian grocery store with good selection of products. Sort of reminded me of the 168 Markets back home. Lots of frozen foods (dumplings, fish cake, tofu, ect. , large selection of sauces (I was looking for Yamasa shoyu and they had it! , veggies, a variety of instant noodles, spices, snacks, and drinks. They've also got a Hawaiian fast food place and a gift shop inside. Check out was smooth and the cashiers were efficient. Parking was easy in the back.

I used to live and work in Twin Cities about 20 years ago (as a chef and would come here for two main reasons. 1. Best JAPANESE product selection in the area (outside of Chicago 2. Pretty well stocked, and solid variety of other Asian products. Coming from states that had larger Asian demographic and stores (L.A., N.Y, Houston, etc. there were obviously things I was spoiled by and that's understandable, like price, variety, fresh products, etc but I managed and what I couldn't get readily, I could usually order for myself through a purveyor at work (which most people can't I recently returned to MN and have been scoping the new food markets and scene and pleased to see United Noodle still here in same spot but when I went in I immediately noticed the selections have diminished and the prices...........WOW, I mean WOW. I'm sorry UN, but your prices are out of control, I know with the pandemic, shipping and availability of products has gotten tougher and more expensive, but going to other large markets in St Paul, Burnsville, etc. and price comparing, you guys are way to high, and not worth me shopping there any more. I may have to go there for a Japanese item that I can't find somewhere else but with your diminished Japanese inventory, there really isn't much, I would hope they adjust these things soon, since everything is getting back to normal now and business that tried to use the pandemic as an excuse has worn thing on consumers and is no longer accepted! FYI, the two stars is mostly for the prices but also for diminished Japanese products.

I am in charge of egg rolls for a holiday get together and needed some Asian ingredients. The produce selection was slim pickings. I was surprised there were no Thai chili peppers. The building is big and difficult to navigate. It was ok but I think I prefer Sun Foods for egg roll supplies. Check out was fast and easy.

This is my go-to Asian grocery store whenever I need something quick. It's near my house and has it all from different countries all over east and south east Asia. Their only downside is that it's expensive in comparison to other Asian grocery stores in the area. I still come here as it's very clean, organized and easy to shop. I recently came back from Japan and Korea and was pleased to find some of the snacks from there. The Royal milk tea bag with little packets was $2 in Japan and $10 here, but I understand that importing products is pricey. It's good to know I can just stop here if I'm ever having a craving for one of those things, however I don't see myself shopping here for all my needs. Just selected special items.

Always the best selection and it's organized with clear labels on the shelves. Helpful staff. Parking is shared with costal seafoods, but is sufficient.
