korean grocer behind the subway on western.

2/6/2006 8:42:53 PM

yea, it's on Method Road in front of the Hood Lion

2/6/2006 9:11:48 PM

The most extensive one in the triangle is Grand Asia Market at South Hills Mall in Cary, off of Buck Jones Rd, near the Crossroads exit on US-1. I don't know what "nori" is though.

Pretty sure nori is the seaweed wrapping paper for sushi.

2/6/2006 10:08:41 PM

^Yeah, I just scored a free sushi cookbook, but it'll be 3-4 weeks before arriving.

2/6/2006 11:02:37 PM

There's one in Garner. I think it's called AC Moore. It's HUGE.

2/6/2006 11:25:33 PM

None of the asian supermarket here compares to the ones in atlanta. They're bigger than the regular US grocery stores there.

2/6/2006 11:27:38 PM

grand asia market

2/7/2006 12:19:48 AM

Whole Foods on Wake Ave. should have nori.

grand asia market

actually, i can't say much on quality, but i have seen nori at harris teeter, over by their fresh sushi.

2/7/2006 8:26:31 AM

pick me up some of those chocolate filled koalas while you're there

2/7/2006 9:04:18 AM

^^^ not grand asia market

also def not AC Moore

can't remember the name, but its on South Saunders

2/7/2006 9:47:13 AM

You mean the kinda skeezy one near Taco Bell?

Don't bother, Grand Asia's better.

2/7/2006 12:05:16 PM

Grand Asia might have it, they're pretty big.

There is one off like exit 298 a or B somewhere, cant recall more though, sorry.

AC Moore is NOT an asian market, it's an art and craft store btw.

2/7/2006 5:53:57 PM

it's called A&C Supermarket stupid

A&C got more ramen noodles than Grand Asia and the food court is better

if you like tofu, Grand Asia makes fresh tofu (hard tofu, tofu pudding - very soft tofu with syrup and peanuts and REAL soymilk)

but they only take cash though (taxes)

2/8/2006 10:57:29 AM

arent sushi wrappers algae, not seaweed?

2/8/2006 11:10:32 AM

seaweed is algae

2/8/2006 11:13:33 AM

^^^^^^^oh snap where are the koalas. i thought they were just a dream from my childhood.

2/8/2006 4:38:59 PM

this thread is NOT dying, someone has to confirm koalas before i will let this go!

so grand asia market? for real?

2/8/2006 5:22:49 PM

i love the one off s. saunders, a&c supermarket. they have a lot more appliances, dishes, and other cheap household stuff (like multiply function pots, hehe). it's a much bigger store, but they have more stuff and less variety than grand asia market. a&c has a ton of snack type foods like those koalas, pocky, stuff like that.

N.O.R.E

2/8/2006 6:02:04 PM

btw, if you go to the korean store, nori is kham (or whatever the english spelling) in korean.

2/8/2006 6:12:12 PM

Yeah, Grand Asia is good stuff. Take 440->US-1 (going up Hillsborough St. away from NCSU, take the second ramp), then keep going until there's the sign for I-40. You'll want to take the exit after you can see Grand Asia from the highway.

hmm koalas...

try the strawberry one

couple months ago they had the melon flavored koalas but not anymore cuz they were sold as limited edition

2/8/2006 9:14:18 PM

There's a Japanese grocer if you head west on Western until it turns into Chatham Street. 748 E.Chatham St. Some of the items are pricier 'cause the Yen is still pretty strong against the dollar... falling fast though. Probably best value is at the Korean grocer or Grand Asia.

oh, nori is so much more than that.

?????!

Buy nori from the nice Japanese ladies who run Toyo Shokuhin (sp?) it is straight down Hillsboro St. past the fairgrounds a way. If you go in and buy anything, even just a soda, on the weekend the lady always gives out free sushi and mochi- every weekend. This is homemade stuff that she makes there early every Sat, Sun. morning and they give it out free to every customer. But go early sometimes they run out by the PM. Also great selection of Japanese drama and tv shows-all in japanese though
