This store is amazing! It is huge and has so many items from around the world, plus fresh meats , fish, and vegetables!!

This place has everything!! I love it. The only thing that bugs me is the pungent rotting fish smell that is so strong it nearly knocked me out when I took one step inside. (Some people love that smell, and that is cool)Other than that, they are extremely reasonable in price, they carry pretty much anything you could ever need. They also sell products you never knew people buy, or consume for that matter.

Been here a couple years back and haven’t been to this location for a long time until a couple days ago. They definitely upgraded! They have a variety of things now and they have huge selections on whatever you’re looking for. Fresh vegetables and meat section is 👍🏼 A great place to stop in and it’s bigger than Asian American market and less crowded.

This is the best place to go for all of your Asian cooking needs. Not only do they have an amazing selection, but the produce all looks like it was picked from the field that day. The owner is friendly and so is the rest of the staff. I live about 40mins outside of Fargo and will make a special trip in, just to shop here.

I always find something new and fun to try here. They have a wonderful produce selection, especially if you like greens you cant find at other grocery stores. You can find pretty much anything for many different ethnic dishes here and their meat and frozen section is great. Go explore and make something tasty!

Review №32

Best ethnic food source in the state! Compared even to the Asian grocery stores in Minneapolis, Lotus Blossom has an excellent variety of products including fresh meats, live seafood, and seasonal produce. Plus its so organized and clean inside. Kina and KC are super knowledgable and helpful, and are there every day. They also sell wholesale quantities if you need cases of products!

Good visit. Store is in remodel and maybe a management switch. Alot of new faces and low on the products they have carried. I love the new products they are bringing in but still would like to see some of the old. Went in for two items and didnt get them. We left with a few other items to try tho. Never a waste of a trip when you visit.

Nice hidden treasure. We come from Minot, ND just to shop here. Prices cant be beat. We load up and come back when we run out. Lots of variety of Asian and ethnic foods to help when Im just learning how to cook my own Asian foods and cant find the ingredients I need. Thank you for this gem!

Review №54

My friend was too furious with the service so Im relaying the message. Heres what happened to her recently. Shes been going to lotus for years and I know shes a very kind and courteous person. Some items are not marked with prices at lotus, so she often ends up asking the female clerk pricing on items. For whatever reason this clerk has always been inpatient to my friend, and told my friend shes causing trouble. If no one else but my friend is in the line, the clerk just ignores her, or keeps chatting with someone else, and purposely make her wait. Very often things ring up more expensive than marked, and the female clerk absolutely hates it when my friend brings it up... Maybe this is why the clerk has always been rude to her. Most people dont pay attention when prices are a bit off. On her last trip she asked the price of an unmarked item, the clerk said, why do you have to cause trouble (be a trouble maker), my friend was really offended and said she will not come back again, then the clerk said to her, Leave!Most Asian friend I know prefer the other Asian market by main and 10th. People are always friendly, prices are lower, and selections are better. As for me 9.9 out of 10 times I go to this one, not Lotus.

A classic and well stocked Asian grocery store. The nice clerk women gave me great tips about how to use some of the ingredients I had chosen. The selection of fresh meat and vegetables was very good. The canned/bottled selections and spices are outstanding. I would have liked each item to have a price sticker but hardly a deal breaker. I enjoyed being part of a crowd that represented the world population. Lotus Blossoms prices are fantastic and beat the big box stores Ethnic foods isle prices by 50%.Have an interesting and fun adventure at the Lotus Blossom. I will stop again when next I pass through Fargo.

Sorry. Nice people. Way too crowded, too busy, and I somehow always end up with something way past the expiration date. About half my purchase was not good, and I spent over a hundred bucks. Bummer. But, maybe they need to hire to help with inventory.

This place steal from people. They are rude. Pay attention when in front of the cashier because they love to over charge. I will never shop from here and if I had my will, I’ll advise other African to never shop from here. Customer service is poor. They argue and fight with customers . If I could give it a negative star I would

0 out of 10 rating. The employee or owner of this grocery store insulted me in front of many customer. I was so upset but I decided to stay calm and return home without buying my stuff. I was going to get some shampoos at once, so I dont have to go for shopping just for shampoo for long time. I simply asked a question about expiration date of hair shampoo, but her response was so terrible. She said, “really!! Shampoos also have expiration date?” She even went to my nationality and said have you even used shampoo in your back home?” Nothing in this world is everlasting and every manufacturer products has expiration date on it. You own a grocery store and you don’t know about the expiration date.

WOW! This place is so amazing, I dont where to start.I was so lucky to get a private tour from the owner, Kina.(thats her in one of the pics) the place is Huge!its not just clean, its immaculate, spotless. The isles are wide for easy shopping. There is even a warehouse in the back of the store.Not just the usual canned and frozen items you find in most Asian markets. The frozen are truly exotic, and for me having lived in Asia a lot of unknown items. (I cant wait to try the new things I saw)The fresh cases are even more amazing. The fresh Shrimp are beautiful and not old. The other fresh items are equally fresh as well. Every type of Tofu you could imagine, on and on. They even carry Balut duck eggs!! a Filipino street food delicacy. I dare you to try one :-))Now it gets better, They have a meat market cases with hard to find items, and selections for the average shopper.The Asian cookware and tableware is unlike anything in Fargo.Now the most amazing part! Kina took me in the back to a place the public doesnt have access to.Live tanks with Dungeness Crab from my home Ory-Gun.Fresh Lobsters and several varietys of live fish.The problem with most Live tanks is the fish loose weight after being introduced. Not here. Kina said they feed all the live fish so they dont loose weight. So Cool.The prices are extremely competitive.The meat and seafood is a bargain. Dont forget to check out the frozen fish offerings.Do Not pay attention to any negative reviews!You owe it to yourself to check the place out. You wont be disappointed.Thank you Kina and everyone I met today.You have almost all of my grocery business covered,Jamie

I love this place, best selection of fish and meat in Fargo, everything from Great mini bananas to pheasant duck and quail! Great customer service, and if you dont know how to make it they will help you .Tonight I am making baked quail with stir fried veggies, and a jackfruit and plantain roll with lychee nuts for dessert.

Review №96

This store has exponentially worst customer service that Ive ever encountered, granted this store is bigger and had more variety. Me and my husband decided to shop to get few stuff in the asian market and this was the closest asian market as we live close to West Fargo. During the checkout process, we just got into the shortest line, thinking it would be quicker. After 3 minutes, the lady told us and few other people to go to a different line as this only for return services and there were no signs. She didnt even bother to apologize. By that time the other line was pretty long and people had quite bit of groceries. We waited for another 10 minutes and left our groceries. We drove all the way to Cashwise and luckily we were able to find everything we needed.This isnt the first time I had experienced a bad service. In the other occasion, I was with my sister and during the checout she was talking on her phone with the delivery guy or someone, we and few customers behind us were literally waiting for her to finish her conversation so that we could checkout. I bet we waited at least like extra 2 to 3 minutes. I did tell myself that Im not going back to this store again. Well I made a mistake, i shouldnt have. I wouldnt have even given one star to this store. This one star is for the products they have, i would give negative 5 if I can for the service. Its very sad how some Asian stores take customers for granted. I would highly recommend people to go Asian and American Market located in 1015 Main avenue. I shop there all the time, they do have less products but they have way better service.
