Chinatown in Kansas City?
Show No Fear at Chinatown Food Market, 2nd & Grand, KCMOChinatown Food Market is a great place to shop if you're planning an Asian feast and you just can't find that live squid anywhere else! If you're a fan of lycheetinis, this place is fully stocked with canned lychee fruit, too. You'll need the martini once you've staggered out due to the overpowering seafood smell. :)
According to Best of the Pitch: Chinatown Market is a choice destination for browsing, gift shopping, or picking up some kimchi or Sriracha sauce for a home-cooked Asian feast. The grocery's monstrous aisles are filled with every Far-East delight imaginable, among them Chinese elixirs for a sore throat, giant porcelain Buddhas, bamboo plants and the usually hard-to-find Japanese candy favorite Pocky. The packaged-foods section is a colorful array of kitschy labels where happy pandas and cute kids advertise soups and teas, and the fish department in the back offers everything from frozen tilapia to live frogs and eels. Seriously.
3 Shout-outs to Waldo Oiseau:
I been there, It stinks in the back. They cut up there own fish. The funny part is they had free chant budda box. Like a radio. I didn't keep mine. No purpose. I don't talk chinese.
You bet it stinks! I couldn't agree more, but it is an interesting place.
This place is great! It may not smell all rosey like American markets do but you can get unique stuff and add a little culture to your life... try something new! ;)
