Sometimes you need the true Chinese stuff and this is one of the few places you can get them. Much better than the chinatown market bc there is parking, plus its bigger. It's what you would expect from an Asian market, no frills and cheap prices. By Western standards it's dirty and no one is friendly but they have a decent selection of Chinese goods (some other Asian stuff too, but minimal). You can get a 50lb bag of rice for 20 bucks and any sauce imaginable which is a steal compared to trying to find those at Jewel/Marianos. They don't like you paying with credit if your purchase is small and if I were you I would park on the street if your busy....parking lot is small and I've had other cars open their doors straight into my car before. 4 stars bc it really is pretty dirty and they are missing a fresh seafood section that most Chinese markets have. But at the same time there is parking, low prices, and you'd be hard pressed not to find what you came here for.

Recently was party of a wedding that took place here. Mostly good things, some bad. First the good. It's a great space and they're very open to letting you decorate. It's completely barren so you have all the power to organize as you please. High ceilings make for a really grand venue as well. Lots of cool little bits here and there too. The entrance can be through an old freight elevator, lots of exposed beams for hanging stuff, lots of natural lights from skylight windows. The bad parts though include the fact that bc it is just an empty warehouse, it's a lot more work on you to decorate... Often more than the wedding couple plans for. You're pretty much in charge of providing everything. There aren't very many outlets around for lighting. Lastly the valet service was not good. This isn't the wedding venue exactly, but I assume they contract out to the valet service. Anyways they hit a car early in the night and when I picked up my own car at the end of the night they had knocked my phone holder completely off my vent... How I don't know. At the end of the day this venue is the perfect place for some, just know what you're getting yourself into
