An Dong Market

They always overcharge me and its annoying because it happens almost every single time. This seems to happen with my mother too. So you guys better calculate before or look at your receipt after you pay.

Medium sized Asian market with a little bit of everything! Produce quality was good. There is a small tea section and here I gasped and smiled: Rickshaw tea. This is a tea made for the Hong Kong market and I’m so glad to see it on the shelves here. Hong Kong milk tea for me! Alas they do not sell the filter sock, from what I could see, but that’s ok, Fubonn has those.

I love this place (though I tend to believe Asian grocery stores are the stuff of a wonderful afterlife, so I’m a tad biased). Favorite finds include cute bento boxes for around 7 dollars, dried honeysuckle, lots and lots of noodles (I got some thick, slightly fancier ones I’m in love with, large bundle on the bottom shelf for $ 7), and lots of cheap produce from the familiar (tomatoes, pickling cukes, lemons) to the unfamiliar (I got a bundle of nira flowers that seemed half way between chives and green onions). I usually bike there, and buy at least $ 10 if you want to use a credit card.

My family and I have been shopping here for over a decade. It’s convenient to grab a few items that you really need around the corner. The people are very friendly. But you better watch your receipts. I don’t know how my few items of little things came out to be a dollar more than what it’s suppose to be. I went back with my receipt and told her she overcharge me. She didn’t seem happy. After a few minutes she started comping an attitude with me saying it’s right when clearly it’s not. I got really irritated and was gonna walk away and say whatever about it but I know I wasn’t wrong. Another few minutes went by I stood my ground and told her she’s wrong and can’t add. She apologize irritated and gave me my difference back. So people watch your receipt because they be ripping people off. Who knows how much money they are taking from people every day. It adds up!!! Oh yeah I forgot the bao they have. Make sure they put new gloves on atleast because the lady that rung me up went straight to the bao oven thing and didn’t sanitaize nor new gloves nothing. I don’t find that sanitary. Just saying. I mean dealing with all the money and such.

This is where to go for your homemade Phở, and other dishes. You can find the correct dishes to serve it in as well. There’s many sauces, spices, meats, mochi and lets not forget the steamed buns! Have you had them? You should. Check out the desserts, they’re fun for friends new to this sort of cuisine to try. Spread the word, this place is great.

I love this Asian grocery store, the ladies who have worked the cash register have literally been their since I was born. And everyone affectionately calls them aunt (In Vietnamese).
The store is a bit on the smaller side compared to other Asian grocery stores in the area like Hong Phat and Fubonn. But it always has the produce that you need and is usually fresh.
Randomly they have BOMBDOTCOM steam buns, that normally run out by the end of the day.
And they also have three colored dessert, which is a Vietnamese different consisting of three different colored jellos in coconut milk. Seriously its sooooo good. I highly recommend trying it.
I would give it five stars, but sometimes parking can be difficult.

One of Portland’s longest running Asian supermarkets, An Dong has amassed a large local following for its vast selection of Chinese /​Vietnamese produce and items.
Poke fun at the name all you want, but An Dong loosely translates to «peaceful east» if I’m not mistaken. It has all the features of a quality Asian market: an interesting array of foreign products, funky odors, and fresh produce. Yes, these are all good things.
Stick with the perishables, produce, and some key ethnic goodies (mainly SE Asian) that some of the other nearby Asian supermarkets won’t have. Seafood is a bit of a gamble because the variety (if any) is limited at best.
Service has always been polite, the prices are reasonable, and parking (in the back) is never a problem. For those who feel the neighborhood is too sketchy, consider shopping during the day time.

An Dong is my go to Chinese/​Vietnamese market in Portland. I shop here a few times a month and I have never been disappointed.
To give you some context, I am not a fan of Fubonn. Coming from a place of many excellent large Asian markets, Fubonn does not fit the bill. The market is stocked with low quality items and, although it has a wide selection, I’m not interested in most of it. I’d rather go to individual stores.
An Dong has a modest selection of meats — mostly pork, a wide selection of sauces, spices and pickled items. The produce is fairly fresh with many different kinds of greens and hard to find produce like galangal and white thai eggplants. I wouldn’t recommend their freezer section and I would go elsewhere for seafood.

I would say this place is a bit more expensive than Fubonn, but not by much. And actually, I preffer to go to this place since it’s less crowded and is easier to find parking space. But they don’t carry much of Indonesian food compare to Fubonn which what I usually looking for. And one of the cashier lady is kinda mean, but she speaks multiple languages (which is kinda awesome).

This place is whats up. It doesn’t have the full on selection of Fubonn, but is convenient and has the staples I need, like sticky rice, noodles, chill peppers, and the Chinese medicine I grew up with. Veggies are cheap :)

If only this place had better parking.
Huge selection, and a lot of stuff that simply cannot be found in other stores. Lots of sauces and noodles. OK, a lot of noodles. Fresh vegetables, though a bit random selection sometimes.
Cheap Cheap Cheap. How they’re doing it on some stuff I just don’t know.

It’s on the small side, but they still manage to cram a nice selection of fresh items and dry goods into the store.
Produce, Meat, and Seafood are reasonably priced, with a selection of items (like fresh Mackerel and a dozen or more brands of rice sticks) you won’t find at many other stores around Portland.
Service is efficient. I wouldn’t call it friendly, but I’m not shopping here to recuit new members to my Treehouse Club, either.
If there’s one thing I wish they’d done better, it’s parking. Be prepared to get some exercise while you’re hauling your lemongrass back to your hovercraft.

This place rocks! All kinds of fresh vegetables too choose from at great prices! We bought a bunch of stuff to cook a few thai dishes and also a wok and a wok shovel ($ 26) and some other little things for about 55 dollars. Great deals

An Dong is my #1 choice for Asian goodies in S.E. It’s much smaller than Fubonn but they have just about everything eventhough the meat and seafood sections are small, however the vegetables are much fresher. Owner and staffes are nice and friendly. If you are looking for something that they don’t have, try to look for a guy that sit in the office. He would be able to tell you whether or not if he could order. They also have a small section of restaurant supplies. They have this huge private lot right behind the store but most of the time the gate is closed. So you have to park on the street and sometime is like musical chairs. Look out for bad driver!

This is my new favorite asian market!!!
— Good selection of meats, veggies, non-​perishable goods, and totally-​random items (like cans of sprite or keychain nicknacks :-)
— Nice staff (greet them with «ni hao» if you want to be legit :-P)
— Centrally located (54^th & Powell)
— Decent hours
— and CRAZY CHEAP!!! Like… the meat is way cheaper than Fubon or Uwajimaya. Like… it’s so cheap you’re certain it’s not abx-​free and not free-​range. or… it’s so cheap you think this is probably where all the mad cows from a few years ago ended up :-)
It’s not massive like the huge asian supermarkets so I’m sure they won’t have everything if you have those really obscure asian food needs, but they have the standard staples you expect.
I haven’t tried their steamed buns like Mimi mentioned, but I’ll be back to give it a shot.
Oh yeah, and don’t forget they always have seasonal items like special stuff for chinese new year (i.e. Gao and moon cakes!!!)
Check it out!!!

I think they’ve cleaned up and rearranged since I was last there.
Anyway, excellent Asian market with a good vegetable section, many good fishes, all the sauces and noodles and rices and candies… very good. I kind of like them better than Fubonn, and the people are very friendly. Excellent market!

They have awesome steamed buns! LOVE IT! My parents and I were in town for my cousin’s wedding, and they stocked up on like 50 of those buns (no joke). The last time I was here was like 13 years ago and a lot has changed. They’re so much cleaner now than they were back then. I noticed a large variety of tea selection. They seem to keep some of their good stuff right behind the register. Lots of great produce and meats too.
They have this huge private lot right behind the store, or you can opt for street parking if you’re just going to grab something real quick.

An Dong is my go-​to Asian market, and has been for a good many years. Fubonn out on 82^nd is much larger, and has a broader spectrum of regional foods, but An Dong stocks an amazing number of condiments, dried ingredients, and most importantly, an excellent selection of produce. They also avoid Fubonn’s habit of putting everything in a Styrofoam tray.
The comments about how small the store is, or how it cannot grow are amusing, since it was originally situated in a tiny triangular space on Foster Rd, and since then has expanded in size several times to finally fill the building.
The store caters primarily to SE Asia, especially Vietnamese and Thai, with a decent selection of basic Chinese goods. It’s not a good choice for Japanese ingredients, but Anzen market has handled that for decades.

An Dong was one of my first local adventures when I moved into this neighborhood 4 years ago. I had just returned from a trip to visit college friend in NYC and he had prepared some dumplings he had picked up from a local market. I decided that this was something I had to try.
Ignorant of commercialized LingLing available in the Supermarkets, I decided that An Dong was my best bet for dumplings. Their selection did not disappoint. I also found a nice variety of Asian fruits that I have sampled here and there over the years. I haven’t been brave enough to try any meat or seafood (boy, you can smell the seafood), but I have taken advantage of their large selection of sauces.
One thing to note: I believe they have a $ 10 minimum purchase when using a debit or credit card. So pick up a few extra items or bring your cash.

Plug your noise if you’re not ready. Like all Asian markets, An Dong market has that fishy market smell. I like it, it reminds me of childhood and going to the market with my mom on the weekend. However, I don’t love the smell, and I don’t like it so much that I want to bathe in it.
Since I’ve already laid it out there. An Dong has a large selection of dry items and sauces. Their primary focus is Chinese, but they also have other Asian items. Their produce selection is limited, but decent. They also have affordable Tofu. I’m not spending over $ 1.70 for a block of tofu. $ 1.50 is my limit for tofu. Call me cheap, but I know I’m savvy.
