Asian Food Market BOBAE - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

Erika

My daughter and I absolutely love this shop. The owner is beyond sweet and always has a smile. Her customer service is on point. She's even taught us a some tricks on a dish we were making. We think her selection is good. Let's put it this way, we've been able to find pretty much everything we wanted/needed. She doesn't carry fresh produce or meat, but that is something that I can get at a chain grocery store which are all over the place. When we get a fix, we know we can go there. For people who complain that the prices are high or that she doesn't have a great selection. It is a small business - not a franchise or chain supermarket. Typical for these types of places, I expect the prices to be a bit higher. As for selection, I feel she's pretty consistent and once you know what she stocks, then you know. We've been to Panda and Many More and we always think of what she carries and choose to support her if we can. It takes a village to keep small businesses going!

The lady is so sweet and they always have everything I need at a much better price than the local super market!

Cute Little Shop with a Surprisingly Diverse Inventory. The owner is a Sweetheart. So pleasant and friendly. From BOBA, to Frozen Dumplings and everything in-between. The Pricing is fair as well. Much cheaper than if we ordered mail order and very reasonable. We made a special trip from Greensburg to check it out and we are sure glad we did. We will definitely be back!

Go check it out!

I lived in Japan for a long time so I have a lot of experience with Asian food and domestic pricing. This has a surprisingly good selection of various types of snacks, cooking ingredients, beverages, and frozen food for the size of the shop. It's also neatly organized and easy to browse. Unlike some small Asian markets that I've been to which have narrow aisles and chaos, this is really set-up cleanly and carefully. The prices are reasonable for imports and specialty foods as well. I'll be going back again and again!

~Small store with lots of variety and a friendly lady to greet you. The parking is free and they take cash only. We have been going to this store for many years.
~They have a variety of drinks, candy, snacks, frozen/ refrigerated items, noodles, cup noodles, rices, seasoning/ sauces, and a few dishware/ kitchen items.
~The prices are pretty good and there are usually some bulk deals for different items labelled through out the store. Some items are more expensive than other places depending what it is but generally decent.
~Favorite buys include: rice crackers, matcha waffle cones, dorayaki, and large selection of ramune flavors

❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love this store!!!! The lady who runs this store is so sweet. Me and my boyfriend got frozen dumplings and she offered us a free bottle of sauce to have with it. I’ve been going here since it opened, and sometimes the variety of selection varies, but I’m sure it’s hard to run a small business off of imported goods. I’ve never gotten anything from there that was expired or bad quality, and it’s always so clean inside.
