MD Oriental Market - Tampa, Florida

The customer service was very good they helped me out. Be an African-American woman walking up in there it felt real different a lot of Korean Japan and Chinese people was there as customers and they was looking at me like what am I doing here other than that it was a great experience walking to the market it smelled really bad but I was thinking the reason why it smelled like that it smelled like fresh fish and they did have fresh fish and lobster in the back. So I appreciate it the smell before I left I found what I was looking for. Bitter melon ? I've been eating bitter melon because I am a diabetic type 2. I research alternatives because I've been going through the rapid pain in my nerves system due to out of control sugar levels. This is my third day Eden bitter melon. The swelling in my feet went down in the pain that I was feeling all through my body went away. The lady at the counter was very helpful she told me not to eat a lot I researched this looking
Bitter melon and you should too it's the most powerful food in the world. This bitter melon even helps with depression if you're going through that. Once you pass the bitter taste and drink that juice and eat the hug of the melon it will change your life. I'm not even really taking a lot of pain medicine or my insulin at all. If you're going through pain or you have swelling feet or swelling in the body or pain this is a perfect Japanese vegetable to eat. I feel like I got my life back again eating this bitter melon. Change your life and eat better

I shop in other Asian markets, but happen to visit this place, this past Saturday. Great place to shop for fresh fish, and other Asian grocery and vegetables.
I gave 2 stars, because of my bad experience with salmon fish. I buy bulk and freeze, so as usual, i picked a big size salmon piece from belly to tail, and asked them to fillet it. I was expecting at least 8 fillet including the small tail end pieces for the Size I picked.
I bought lot more of other fish varieties, ang groceries, so did not notice the issue until i got home.
I saw only 4 thinly sliced fillet with a price tag of $28. I know salmon is costly, but it can't be for the size i got. Also, I did not see the fillet of tail ends.

IT PAINS my heart to see my hard earned money got stolen like this.
I got 4 pieces, and you can see in the picture, how thinly sliced they are. So, each piece is $7.00, and i am still missing tail ends.
I get better price from other Asian markets.

很抱歉。
We are big fans of MD Oriental. We are also happy to see the expansion.

However, today, we brought home an item that was spoiled. The Nature's Soy Black Tea Soymilk came out curdled and chunky, I confirmed its condition by taste - it was sour.

Everything else was fantastic and we are enjoying the egg tarts.

It's a great Asian market, lot's of great finds. From seafood, produce, hard to find foods to kitchenware. Wonderful people working there, very willing to help find what we were looking for. Good prices and an amazing tea selection.

First time coming and very impressed with quality and selection. Young son decided he wanted us to try making gyoza (dumplings/potstickers) ourselves. Our regular grocer didn’t have round dumpling wrappers. This market had multiple kinds and were easy to locate in the back freezer section. The produce/vegetables also looked very nice. Son also got a kick out of seeing the extensive selection of live seafood (crabs and fish). Cashier was pleasant and politely answered our questions (we wanted to double check if the wrappers we chose were ok for making gyoza, which she confirmed and offered additional advice). Would highly recommend this market for anyone looking for hard to find Asian cuisine supplies, or if you want a nicer selection of produce. And, happy to share, our first attempt at gyoza went pretty well!

Racist Store........
I actually like the store itself with its different variety of products. However when my husband and I shopped there, some of the cashiers were racist. I had a friend from Dalian who tought me a few recipes and I knew I could only go to an Asian store to get ingredients. One of the cashiers who thought we were too far off to hear her, yelled "THEY'RE NOT ASIAN!" and that same cashier had the shortest line so went to hers and she kept saying small things in her language that I could tell was insults. Ignorance knows no bounds.
