52 Market & Trading

A small but super convenient place to get your asian foods and ingredients. I love how tidy this place is. They do have food available to eat on the go as well. Typical hmong food which is good for what it is. We have ordered a few trays of food from here and its always been really good and service from employees are always great! Parking is very small but you can easily park on the street next to the store as well. Come here if youre looking for a very decent convient asian store!

I had the opportunity to taste both the Spring and Egg Rolls during an office pot luck. They were the best. I placed an order for my son graduation party, order was late getting ready but worth the wait, they also threw in 5 extra egg rolls for the inconvenience. Our guest was very satisfy and few requested the contact info which I gladly provided.

Before they had there deli, this place was a to go for me and my in-laws to refill our 5 gallon water tanks. Since I moved out of St.Paul, and there deli has open, I love making the drive here multiple times for there delicious kapoon to go (wife’s favorite ) and sausage with rice. Will always be my favorite spot.

We placed an order weeks in advance for pick up and they made the order on the wrong day. They claimed to have called all day but we only had two missed calls from different personal cell phone numbers. With both calls they also didn't bother to leave a voice message for us to pick up the food either. After all their mishaps, they refused to take accountability and refund us our full amount. Rather than resolving this issue in a reasonable manner, we were left unsatisfied, unhappy, and empty handed. After constantly making up excuses and blaming us for their unprofessionalism, we finally said we will just dispute the charge with our credit card company. This experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth, and I definitely will NEVER EVER RECOMMEND a place that is willing to risk being on the losing end of a credit card dispute, losing a customer or potential future customers, all because they didn't want to own up to their mistakes.

I tried the deli food for the first time today. It was alright. The eggrolls were soggy, but stuffing was ok. The pork belly was crispy on the skin but too much fat. The pork bun was a bit chewy and the dough was bland, i had better. The papaya salad was good though.

The minute we walked through the front doors, the angry big lady at the front register yelled at us to put face masks on, mind you we had our 1 year old child with us. This is the ONLY establishment that still requires facemasks while all other places recommend facemasks. Regardless, we went back to the car and grabbed our facemasks, walked back in and she didn't even acknowledge us. We grabbed a few items and when we checked out, she didn't say a thing. As a Hmong person, I know Hmong people do not value customer service which is very unfortunate. This is something we can eventually change but it won't happen overnight. I love supporting local, small businesses especially during these hard times but this is unacceptable. Luckily there are a ton of Asian stores nearby so this hole in the wall can stay hidden. The two stars is because their hot food is decent if you need a quick snack in a hurry.

The store owner was in the middle of processing my debit card transaction, and told her daughter to hand out free drinks to one of their family members in front of me and my wife. Bad customer service, unprofessional, and very disrespectful to do that in front of other cutomers. That makes me feel like I should not be doing business with them, because why do I have to pay for my soda while they gave free drinks to their family members who came in as customers, and to do that right in front of us is so degrading.
