Went here to pickup some sichuan supplies that I couldn't find at Super H mart. This place is tough to navigate, but people were friendly, though none of the staff really spoke much English.
Definitely the real deal if you are looking for authentic or hard to find Chinese ingredients. -

I think 2 stars might even have been a little generous.
Its prime years are long gone, leaving a hobbled store in its wake. It then died, and over the years deteriorated like a rotten corpse (esp. after the advent of the bigger Asian grocers), and somewhat smells like one too. A pity, because it used to not stink enough to kill 10 years ago.
The goods here are usually not very fresh, and many items have expired. The goods in the freezer section usually all have freezer burn, the produce and meat is not a fresh I'd trust, and the only redeeming part is the spice/sauce rack.
Always check your expiration dates here. Checkout takes credit only if you spend $10 (or was it 15?) over. I just don't find this place clean or appealing anymore. Even the markets in China are 100x better than this place. -

In the days when the first Asians arrived in Atlanta back in the 1980s and 1990s, this place was one of the only Asian supermarkets available in Atlanta--besides Ranch 99 Market on Buford. Now, times are changing with the rise of new Korean/Vietnamese supermarkets such as Super H-Mart and Hong Kong and this place is pretty much dying apart. Parking is very small, and not very many stores available in this tiny, shack-like strip mall. The good part is only the food court.

For Atlanta, this is as legitimate of a Chinese grocery store as you'll find. 90% of the signs and prices are written in Chinese, so you either need to be able to read characters, have a friend who can, or be brave in your shopping habits if you're here.
It's not pretty, it doesn't look particularly clean, and it's jam packed with customers...but I love it. I've got a bad habit of picking up random bags or jars of food that I have no idea what it is and taking it home to see if I can figure it out by eating it later. For example, this weekend I bought some "Cream Prune Drop" candies. I haven't eaten one yet, but the anthropomorphic rabbit on the label looked trustworthy and what the hell?
Glad to see that they've started taking credit cards. It used to be a truly harrowing experience going to the register and not being sure how much some of my groceries cost versus how much cash I was carrying at the time. It makes buying dried scallops and stinky tofu less stressful. -

Hmm, I have never been a fan of this store. It's the dirtiest of any asian grocery in the ATL area, it's small, doesn't have much selection and the parking can be nightmare-ish. And beware of items on the selves being past expiration..I've experienced this a few times after having purchased something.
I give it 2 stars because it was the only store I found that carried dried lotus leaves for making sticky rice and other assorted dishes. -

Everytime I walk into this store, I am almost always greeted by and shocked by its strong stinky odor (even though I've been there many times). I wonder why so many Asian grocery stores smell. It is a depressing store. It's never really crowded. I hardly ever buy any veggies, fruits, or meats there. They don't look great. I keep going back because they sell certain Chinese products that other grocery stores don't carry... like my favorite instant noodle soup.

This is exactly like 99 Ranch Market (you can find my review on it). I only come here for the spices and Taiwanese munchies. Sadly, it's not the best place to shop for fresh grocery. Can I suggest some remodeling and a different management perhaps...?

I grew up coming to this place, and this was the sort of Asian supermarket that was around way before the rise of H Mart and ASSI Plaza, and all those fancy Korean-owned places. It's old, and it's got that strange Asian grocery smell, but I love it anyways. If you're not a long-time shopper, or if you can't read Chinese, it can be rather daunting since there are almost no "American" products- maybe just eggs, milk, and water?
There's not a great selection of produce: limited variety and limited quantity, but you can find great deals if you look for them. I'm truthfully not so much a fan of the meat department, but I'm a huge fan of pre-packaged Asian goodies- the candies, the cookies, the pastries, chocolate- you name it, I've tried it, and this is where Dinho shines. Sure, they've got a limited selection (it's only one aisle), but it's quality stuff, reasonably priced, and there's a high turnover so nothing is past the expiration date. The sales they have now and then don't hurt either. And they get a decent variety of mooncake and have steep discounts after the festival. I just bought some authentic (I tried it) hot pot beancurd imported from Taiwan from them. This is probably the first time this stuff has ever been spotted in metro Atlanta and it's one of those things I tried in Taiwan, loved, but haven't been able to get in the US until now.
