Empire Foods

First of all, wow! Such a great store with such a wide variety of items to search for. I mean they had everything here. I’m Hispanic and I saw plenty of traditional items. Their Hispanic isle was definitely giving. I was left in awe at their meat selection and the amount of seafood they had! Im actually considering just coming here from now on. The prices were so low and it’s just so much to look at. Definitely a store you’ll be spending some time in.

I live out of state and stopped in to pick up some fresh produce, spices, herbs and rice products not readily available in northern Minnesota where I was headed. This place did not disappoint and had some of the best prices on quality produce. I am used to checking the expiration dates when shopping at stores that sell so many different products, but none of the dry goods I found on the shelves was expired.

so much better than the Walmart it replaced, empire foods is like a United noodles on crack. it has a slight sweet smell but nothing like dragon Superstar. An absolutely huge selection of everything, but their hot food. their hot food was limited. an eclectic mix of non-grocery items, including some religious iconography Catholic iconography that I'm not particularly pleased by, but lots and lots of affordable housewares and decorative items, rugs super cute bento boxes and a large Curry selection as well as lentils. you should check it out!

An excellent grocery store that exceeds the variety of ingredients you would need find at your local grocery stores. This place has fresh meats, frozen meats and products, veggies and so much more. Then, you go to another aisle and there are 3-4 aisles full of pots and pans in a variety of sizes. Then, you walk to another aisle full of Ramen. Then, you go to an aisle where you will find different types of ethnic ingredients from different countries and backgrounds. Really astonished that there is a place like this in Minnesota. It replaced an ENTIRE Walmart store. That's how big this place is. The aisles were clean and very easy to navigate through. Prices of the groceries are typical but the prices for certain kitchen items and kitchenware is where this place really shines. If you're a local and you haven't been here yet, would 100% recommend. If you're visiting, make some space in your vehicle or bag because you will find some amazing produce here.

Overall, this place offers exactly what the other Asian stores does. However, I do feel like they have a bigger selection, plus I like how they have a whole sale area where you can buy big cases of instant noodles, paper goods, and rice powder. Also, due to the huge store and it being New the store has lots of room for improvements. Example: It looks like there were more space than there were products right now, but im sure over time it'll get better.

Quick and ez unloading and absolutely no overnight parking. They are all nice and open at 8am and closes at 8pm
