Wish I could give this place a 0 star.Never buy roast duck from this place again! I was charged for half a roast duck, then later discovered it was only about a third of the duck. Happened to like wing and drumlet etc... None in the box in addition to other missing pieces. Called up and ask nicely, got an ear full from the owner as though it was my fault because I didnt check?!? What a joke! So not worth it. Trust me, DO NOT buy roast duck here, quality average, quantity much less than what you paid for. Basically it is a bad business model; Dishonesty.There are plenty of places for better roast duck and good service close by. Any place would have been better than this place!

The produce area, there are lots of molded fruits especially where the stems are. Some of their packaged fruits also have mold too. This is the first store I have ever experienced that has mold and is still up and running. An inspection should be done. I highly recommend it.One other issue is I bought a steam cooker. Two identical steamer but one cost $29, however, the other is $34. I asked the employee there what is the difference. She said that she don’t know the difference. She wanted us to pay for the one we want and move out the way so she can help the next customer. She will not find out why either.

I ALWAYS have a great experience when I shop here!! I get all my hard to find ingredients, snacks, and home goods here! I have been shopping here over the past 6 years and the staff is always very friendly! The cashiers are all so sweet. The HUGE selection of fresh foods, and friendly service has me coming back even though I live an hour away. My fiancé is used to markets like this and he says it feels like hes home when ever we shop here! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Review №13

While they may not be the cleanest or most modern grocery store, they compete where it counts: selection. Most if not all the things I enjoyed in China are within the market as the actual or copycat product. They mix up the selection and brands so it is always exciting visiting.

Review №16

The cleanliness of this market was okay. It has a weird smell that you can immediately smell as you step in the market, but it’s understandable because they do carry live fish inside the market. The smell is just like how open markets in Asia smell like. However, they carry a lot of products that I can’t find anywhere else in Tampa or Gainesville with a very good price.

This is an amazing Asian Market. Everything from produce to fish, specialty noodles, cakes and beverages. Since the name change, I see many improvements. The store is better organized and not as crowded. I see the walls are being painted. All very good. The fish market id definitely cleaner but still smells fishy. The refrigerated shelves need to be cleaned. All told, an amazing market. I will still stay a loyal customer. No one else has this selection.

Cool place to check out. Smells a bit fishy, but thats just because of their large selection of fish. Despite that, I do like coming here and finding little things I cannot get at the grocery. Lots of ramen options.

I am very surprised on how much 5 stars reviews this Asian store received and personally, I think it’s fake. I must say that this store has improved a lot in clean appearance and more space to walk. Even the produce had gotten better from several years ago. Basically overall, I see there are improvements but I honestly think they forced themselves to do so to compete with all the other new Asian stores opening up within this past several years. One thing that still haven’t improved much is customer service. It’s horrible. My family and friends stopped going there for years now. The only time we do shop there is for their roast pig and roast ducks. They do have better hot food then other Asian market. If another Asian market serves the same “decent” (comparison with California taste bud), hot food, I would stop going to this store all together!!My recommendation for this store and any other stores that this company try’s to open/reopen (under “new management “) I would first train all your associates to provide better customer service. I understand not all customers are easy but staying professional is the key for success and return customers. Providing the extra help to customers that feel lost and not sure where things are placed. I can list a bunch of complaints but which managers will take actions (not to brag but I can run a much smoother and better operation then their current management can and assure it will bring some of the old clients back and even create new ones)??? Anyhow, with this being said, I do recognize that this supermarket is attempting to make some changes for the better of business sense. This is where I give my two stars instead of zero.

Review №27

What happened to this place? I was here a year and half ago and the staff was helpful. My relatives were in town and we stopped by to purchase fresh meat, seafood, greens, and a few other things. The staff at the seafood section must think the customers are ghosts. My mother asked several times for assistance and the men purposely pretended not to hear or even look at her. There was a gentlemen next to her who needed help and he was ignored as well! The meat and greens were not fresh. The pre-packaged greens were wilted and slimy. We left empty handed and went somewhere else.

The only market with freshly made roast duck and pork! But under new management, so the BBQ area is under one management and the market is under another. Which means they are two separate entities now so youll have to pay for BBQ separately from the market side!

Review №36

Such a large selection of product but I dont know that I would buy any of the fresh produce. It was all kept in cases that looked like they hadnt been cleaned in a long time. The whole right side of the store had paper towels all over the floor and all the frozen goods were partially thawed - possibly a power outage or something?

It is no different from the old name First Oriental Market,the way they set up their merchandise same as the old ones the employees do not know the customer service.Pangs BBq is lousy the quality of the food is very poor,and the price is skyrocket high,the roast pork was not crispy,I can make the roast pork better at home.I hope that they will improve their quality,if not bye bye.Remember,the customers are smart,do not try to fool the consumers.

Review №38

Great Asian supermarket to meet all your condiment, vegetables, fruits and snack needs. They also have a bubble tea vendor along with a Asian bbq section. My favorite bbq item to get is the Peking Duck and the soy chicken. They have lunch specials but they run out pretty quickly no matter how many portions they cook. I love their snacks, veggies and fish selection. The supermarket is under new management and the store looks cleaner and well stocked. I love their fresh fish section and sometimes they import hard to find international fish at a reasonable price. My only regret is they don’t have all the fish labeled so it’s hard to know what the names of some fishes are.

Great asian market! We drive about 40 minutes to come here about every month. Authentic, organized, and a vast variety of stock. If you only speak English make sure you know exactly what you are getting, much of the packing does not contain English. They are always very busy and shelves stay stocked. Produce is bright and fresh.

The ONLY worthy items buying there are the varieties of tea, the sake, the Peking duck and the poke chocolate sticks, my husband and I bought almost $600 in groceries and I was very upset because all the pastries were with a some kind of a chemical taste 🤮 and so were the different sauces, the produce was already bad the next day and the shrimp..the worst taste ever.

Review №49

Although there are newer oriental supermarkets opening up around here.. I still ended up coming here right after leaving the other places today. Every store has its perks, this one.. like a few others is great because it has some prepackaged items. I bought one today which is specifically for a soup I was making. Some stores sell it in large quantities, and you only need a small amount, so the package is perfect. I had to come here, leaving another store because they didn’t even carry some of the herbs and ingredients I was looking for..

HUGE STORE! Lots of Chinese products. They also have a deli station that has Chinese BBQ like roast pork, duck, chicken, etc... the stuff you usually see hanging in windows. The prices are ok. Compared to the other Chinatowns and Asian specialty markets in my home neighborhood, this 1 was larger and a step up... in quantity/variety only. Quality is ok.

An oriental grocery store with a chinese herb counter, a good bbq stand and pastry counter. It serves delicious and economical take away lunch sets; best to get there around 11am during weekdays. The pastries, for the price, our favourites are the bbq pork buns and sesame balls with fillings.

Dont be afraid of the rough looking exterior, well the interior isnt all that much better either, the real reason you go grocery shopping is for the food.

In terms of inventory and size, Enson Market (formerly 1st Oriental Supermarket) is the largest market of its kind in Central Florida. Located in Orlandos Chinatown within a strip mall that has seen better days, the supermarket is a definitive source for seasonal Asian fruits and vegetables, spices, kitchenware, and an exhaustive list of sundries. The supermarket also includes a full-service seafood department that features live specimens that are cleaned and processed to order, and a bakery that offers various steamed buns, sliced white bread, baked goods and custom-order cake services. In a corner adjacent to the bakery is a small deli that features fresh roast duck on display and a limited selection of hot dishes served a la carte. At the supermarkets front is an apothecary selling ingredients used in traditional Chinese medicine. Customer service, while generally friendly and hospitable, can occasionally be brusque and indifferent.

Ka
Review №80

Dont have any customer service with the employees that I encountered. Another employee would go up to help this lady at the medicine counter just because shes speaking to her in Chinese when I was the one that was there before her. Just because I dont look like Chinese doesnt mean you have to go help someone else who prejudge them. Even a manager wouldnt even stop to help or ask someone else to come help when she just continue trying to order from the contractor.

Review №87

I have gone to this store once nearly every week since Ive moved to Florida nine years ago. Aside from routinely not having stock of the (many through the years) items I need after a week or two, the customer service is horrendous. I went to return an appliance today because it was not meeting my expectations at home. The lady who was at customer service (I believe shes an owner or related to the owner) asked what the issue was, I told her, and she offered me a credit. After going through the store and picking up my normal items, I went back to customer service to utilize the credit.Thats when I met the catalyst for this review. I believe hes also an owner, or at least the store manager. He was very adamant that the appliance (It was a water heater) that I brought back was working fine, and kept shoving a thermometer in my face, showing me the temperature while the water was boiling. I told him thats fine and good, but at my house, the water was not KEEPING the temperature, which is the reason I got it. He kept repeating the number on the thermometer and implying I was lying. I told him regardless, it wasnt meeting expectations, and I wanted to return it. Seeing as how the original purchase was 3 or 4 days ago, and according to him, the product was fine, this shouldnt have been an issue.Finally he snapped at me about getting the credit minus a 20% restocking fee. I told him if thats the policy, thats fine, but that he should let his staff know. I told him this because when I originally purchased the heater, I asked if there would be a problem if I needed to return it,and the cashier told me no. He then shoved the receipt in my face and said it mentions the restock fee on there.I repeated that it was fine, I didnt care, I just wanted to get my stuff and leave. Then, while the customer service cashier was ringing me up, he brought the thermometer AGAIN. I finally snapped back that I didnt care and that its over, I didnt want the water heater.Again, Ive been coming here almost every week for nine years. I have NEVER returned an item here before, and am shocked how rude this man was. There is a large Korean Market that opened up recently about 10 minutes away, and I think Ill start shopping there. First Oriental isnt the only oriental market in town.Edit: Upon reflection, I gave this store one more star. This is due to how good the meat/fish/cooked meat stations are and how well the employees at those stations treat the customers.

This place sits in the heart of Chinatown in Orlando. It is truly a supermarket as you will see when you walk in how big it is. It holds a bakery, large selection of fruits and veggies along with their frozen section. I was taken aback when I first went into this store because I never realized this store was here but I am glad that I stumbled on it because if I ever need to make a one stop shop, this place will definitely be on that list. It is located next to other stores on the strip and restaurants so you could literally make it a longer stay since there are plenty to do. I would definitely and plan to come back!

I recently came here to the Peking Duck/Roast Pork station and the worker there was so rude. I asked for 2lbs of roast pork, chopped finely. The product I got back was so haphazardly cut up that I fail to think that it was even cut at all! If your worker doesnt know how to chop meat properly, at least let me know and I wouldnt have asked for it to be cut at all! I have attached a picture of one of the boxes of pork I received. Ive been to multiple Chinese BBQ places all through out Florida, in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and even to the Golden Sparkling Chinese Mart a few blocks down the street. Never have I encountered such a atrocious business with such rude workers. I ask the management to keep track of the quality of the products they present and to put more effort into training their workers. This is clearly not how you run a business.油鳮彭,做到咁咪做啦。吊你。

Ive this place but wish it was closer. Great for finding specialty products, butcher has a large selection of products, also has a built in fish market. Great place to get head on shrimp and langostines, some sushi products and some harder to find meat like seasonal alligator meat.
