When I was growing up, we only had this tiny shack of an Asian market so most of the time we would make regular trips to Korean grocery stores in Chicago. More recently, I kept hearing about this place so I had it bookmarked to check out the next time I was visiting family. Before we visit, my husband and I load up suitcase with non-perishable Asian goods since it's cheaper where we live. So the pricing was fairly fresh in our mind when we stopped by Pacific Rim. I was pleasantly surprised that most of the pricing was within a few dollars of what we paid in LA. I think if you need anything in a pinch, this is the perfect place. Although I have to say that the Sriracha was double the cost here, but that's pretty understandable. They have a wide variety of just about everything. Pho noodles, pad thai noodles, Korean style noodles, sauces, frozen goodies, sake, soju and veggies. It also looks like they rotate out their fresh produce with whatever is in season so it was nice checking to see whatever was new. Staff here is friendly and very helpful. Their restaurant always seems busy, so it'll be nice if they can one day expand and have a sit down spot at some point. It also seems like they rotate out some dishes so they can offer a variety. My mom really wanted to try their jjampong, but when we went to look for it, it wasn't on the menu. I'm so happy that Kalamazoo/Portage has better options now for Asian groceries and food.

HOLY WOW. This place has EVERYTHING I've missed from being overseas. Shrimp Chips, Mochi, Rice Crackers, Sesame Balls, the little glass drinks with the marbles in them and Vietnamese Noodle Soup !!!!!!

A very nice Asian store, has many things that we need. Most of the stuff are fresh they have different variety. The store is bright and lighted. It is spacious. The check out is good. There is good parking outside. There is a restaurant inside for quick food. They have a lot of snack options. it is clean. However, they don’t have living seafood.Overall, it is a good shop. It is very accessible from the interstate. If you are on the way from Chicago to Michigan, it would be a good place to shop quickly without having long detour.

The Chicken Paitan Ramen was really good with some sriracha and worcestershire sauce on the side to add into the bowl along with the bean sprouts, a nice crunch. The coconut water peach sweet tea drink special was a nice addition to the food though the consistency while drinking it was a bit too syrupy but that was because of the coconut water which I remembered after half way drinking it.My sister had the Beef Pho and pomegranate sweet tea drink special. She enjoyed both items.I had some of the leftovers later after. Both of us got diarrhea which was completed unexpectedly ???. The prices were a bit much for the drinks but food wise, it was good.Will be coming back soon to this place for special occasions since the ramen spot in Battle Creek is both more pricey and less savory to this spot. Also to note is that this is my first time here ? ? ? ?.

What a wonderful place. Our team came in for a sushi making class and we were not disappointed. Xin was an excellent and knowledgeable teacher. If you have a chance we suggest signing up for any of their instructional classes.

That’s the place to get your Asian food. It’s a bit pricey, so we usually don’t go too crazy with grocery shopping here but they do have EVERYTHING.Also, they have a restaurant that’s open only on some days of the week (better to call) and they serve great ramen there.

My absolute favorite restaurant in Kalamazoo. They have the best vegan options including spicy miso ramen, vegan dumplings, black coconut syrup boba, red bean pancakes, it's all so good!

I love this place! It is an asian grocery store with a small food court/ cafe inside. I stop in frequently to buy a few grocery samples I need and always grab some food while I'm there.The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The cafe staff take their time with each customer answering questions and ensuring the food order is exactly how they want it. The food in AMAZING, it is always fresh and piping hot.They also offer classes you can pay for and sign up for on their webpage. Painting, Tai Chi and cooking classes. My husband and I took a cooking class with Xin and it was so fun and informative. Highly recommend everything this place has to offer.

This place is so awesome! Very welcoming store with a really good variety of snacks, drinks and everything else. The food here is also amazing, I got the beef Pho and my partner got the ramen, both were so good! I also got the black tea boba and honestly it's some of the best I've had in this area. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're in the area!

I got the spicy miso ramen with pork belly. Ramen was so good but the pot stickers were very disappointing if you've had a lot of gyoza. Hardly any filling, no flavor, all dough. Just not my thing.The store is nice. Sometimes the shelves will be empty. I always grab a few things here.

They have a lot of options as far as packaged items. I was also able to get their soy sauce and oyster sauce. Though they had a very limited variety of fresh vegetables. It was a good place to go. The staff was very friendly and helpful! I'd definitely come back
