Delicious, and very nice customer service! All kinds of stuff I haven't seen anywhere else here in the area.

Basically everything in this store is double and triple the price of what it should be. Same exact products in M and D market in Pinellas Park and over there they are wayyyyy cheaper and fresher. $10 dollars for a pack of glass noodles when they're around 4 or 5 in Tampa.

First Oriental Market was a treat! We got several boba drinks and my girls were so happy with their little animals on top ? We tried strawberry, passion fruit, matcha, mango, and raspberry, and really enjoyed them all. The staff was great for giving us suggestions and making the whole experience a great one. Plus, the cups are super cute ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

They have a well stocked inventory of dry goods and refrigerated / freezer items. The groceries were nicely organized. Lana (staff) was friendly and took time to help me locate food items I was unfamiliar with, she also pointed out the sections where vegan friendly food was located. This is a small family owned business and I recommend shopping here for Asian food. I will be a returning customer.

My experience at First Oriental Market was fantastic! I found the perfect rice wine for my recipe, and it truly elevated my rice dishes to a new level. The store's diverse selection made it easy to discover unique ingredients, and the quality of the rice wine exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their culinary adventures!

I've tried to eat here twice within the same week. Both times they were closed but their hours posted say they were open. However the store part is very organized.

Definitely don't overlook this place! The people are always very kind and everything's very well priced. they have a very good seasoning and sauces section if your looking for that specific taste for your dishes at home.

This place literally has affordable but amazing products. I’ve been going here for years for the boba and recently my friends & I were given free large boba for “back to school.”This is genuinely one of my favorite places in town.

I live for the spring rolls. I moved here from California and this was like a home go to with a twist. Very friendly and worth it! All of the food is delicious should I add I just can’t pass the store without thinking of the spring roll though lol!

I've been in once before to grab noodles, vegetables, and other goods. I stocked up on soba, udon, and ramen noodles at a great price! Their produce is fresh and has lasted a long time, but I can't say the same for their kimchi. Although it was store made, I didn't think to check it before purchasing. As soon as I took it home, I realized it was compromised because of the sliminess. According to what what I read online, it's still safe to eat, but the texture would be ruined and I was too grossed out. As for the boba, it's really disappointing. Way too much sugar and artificial flavor. Better off driving to a place closer to Orlando or Lakeland.

First time trying these drinks and I am hooked. The coconut was wonderful and refreshing on a hot day. The staff/owners were so nice and explained all of it. It’s located inside the store to the right. Walk around and try some new food too.Now if only I could find siracha!

When I walked in it was quite busy. I wandered around looking at the large selection of products. They had many varieties of food products including dry, frozen and fresh. When everyone left the lady behind the counter asked if I needed help. I had a list and she showed where everything was. She did seem to be in a rush which I didn't understand, but she did help me complete the list or explain where the items were. I left with $45 dollars of food and many will last a long time. She also offered to help me if I bring in a recipe. I don't generally follow recipes and explained when I learn a new cuisine I just wing it in the kitchen. Today I made Pork Lo Mein with the fresh noodles, sauces and produce.
