4 reviews for Am-Ko Oriental Foods & Gifts
Probably the largest Asian grocery store in the area: They have a huge supply of ramen (no, not maruchan *shakes fist*) and ingredients. Though not as produce-centric as Far East, they have much more in terms of sauces, frozen food, and even cooking untensils.
Don't miss out on grabbing some cuttle fish chips, crushed pear juice, and some frozen man doo, among the many things you can find here, but nowhere else.
First of all, Am-Ko is HUGE for an ethnic shop in the midwest. They have a huge variety of foods, ranging from ramens/noodles, fresh fruits and vegetables, drinks, snacks, spices and condiments, canned foods, meats.. you name it. There is also a moderately-sized selection of kitchen and grooming/beauty supplies. Fairly clean and organized, with a nice open-air feeling compared to a lot of other similar shops. If you are curious, this is a great place to find cool foreign foods you have never seen before (or foods you have been searching for, for ages- if you know the cuisines!)
Am-Ko is the BEST! I've been going there since I was a kid (long time ago...heh) to get fun Asian snacks and ice cream treats. They have produce though, too, and it's very affordable. They have fish, they have tofu and kimchee, and they don't stop at Asian food -- there's some great Mexican, Arab, and Indian stuff there, too. They have really cute plates and cups for sale and I have been eyeing their pressure cookers lately -- they sell those, too. This place has all kinds of awesome stuff; treat yourself and check it out sometime.
Korean owned asian supermarket... they have fruit from California for a reasonable price. Reminds me of home. Unlike Far East which is overstocked and overstuffed, Am-Ko has a clean sanitary feeling to it. This is how an asian super-market should be. Everything is approx a dime or two more than at Far East.... but it is less likely to be passed the expiration date.
