What People Are Saying About Broadway Supermarket
Featured Review

The Scene – Anchoring a generic Uptown strip mall, this big market sells goods from all over East and Southeast Asia in the fluorescent supermarket – arrangement familiar to Americans. Incense from a small shrine near the registers suffuses the air, and most shoppers and staff are first-generation immigrants. On a given visit you might hear five different languages spoken. The language barrier can cause confusion at – times. – – A World of Foods – This is the place to get supplied for authentic Asian cooking. Massive bags of rice are stacked next to bulk…
Editor's Tips
- Treat Yourself:
- Check out the sweets and snacks aisles for some insight into the global breadth of the concept of "treat." If a whole bag of, say, shrimp-honey-rice puffs is too much for you, try some of the interesting gums and candies in the checkout line.
- Cheap and Tasty Fuel:
- When shopping leaves you famished, stop in next door at Dong Ky, where two people can get stuffed on tasty Vietnamese fare for under $10.

Don't get towed
by glenviewboy1 at Citysearch
Don't shop here. They will tow your car if you leave the plaza, EVEN IF YOU SHOP AT THEIR STORE ($170). We left to get a sandwich for less than 10 minutes and our car was gone.
We recommend you go to Tai Nam at 4925 N Broadway. Their parking policy is much more reasonable, and it is an excellent Vietnamese grocery store.
