Kim Nhung Superfood

Small little Vietnamese market tucked away in a strip mall. They have fresh seafood and meat not the frozen kind you see at all the other Asian grocery stores. They are small, but carry the necessities. Fresh produce, pre made desserts, dry noodles, canned goods, Vietnamese soup bases, pork blood, duck head, chicken feet, fish, and fresh balut by their register! They all seem pretty friendly too. Definitely will be coming back!
Parking: own private lot, plenty of space

What a great family owned market. They have all sorts of produce, meats, and Asian groceries. The owner (I’m assuming) is always seems eager to help. The setup can kinda be intimidating, boxes everywhere and labels not always in English, but again, the staff here will point you in the right direction. The prices are almost lower across the board compared to 168. They don’t sell made to order food/​drinks, but on occasions they do offer traditional drinks and homemade pastries once you walk in.

I have to second to Charles C’s review, and on top of that I would like to add that «please check your receipt and your money before leaving». They will either over charge you or give you the wrong change back. Reason being is because they chit chat with each other too much. (Happen to me more than once)

If you are into Asian grocers this is the spot
This is the closest thing you are going to find to Chinatown outside New York.
They have everything under the sun imaginable
Because it is always busy food products are turning over rapidly so you are not going to find any moldy oldies or anything beyond expiration dates.
A vast selection of fresh seafood, meats, fruits and vegetables that you will not find at your standard grocer. For those not into all things Asian its not for the faint of heart (but it is so good)
They even have fresh Balut…
The lot is small and Asian people do not know how to park, so be careful your car does not get dinged.

I go here for fresh herbs, hard to find cuts of meat and the steamed pork buns. Oh lord… the steamed pork buns. By far the best frozen food I have ever had. They have a hard boiled egg inside… enough said. This place is not as put together as H-​Mart or 168 Market, but they have a unique selection of goods and food you can find nowhere else. They even sell balut if you are feeling really adventurous. On top of that, there is also a nice Chinese Bakery (QQ Bakery) and Chinese BBQ (Liang’s) in the same plaza. These are not my favorites, but they are good enough. In short if you are looking for some cheap and fresh produce or the best frozen steamed pork buns ever, make the trip out to Kim Nhung Superfoods.

Been going here forever. Went to get a package of wing bean. Looked real fresh on the outside. Opened it up when I got home. Removed the top layer, but underneath all rotten. You can do that in vietnam, but not here. Come on now!!!

Where you may find all the Asian food ingredients you need. I come to buy once a week and find all I need in one place. Asians and some Americans are very familiar with this store. Filipinos are the most frequent customers. Beautiful people, good food, low prices.

I’m glad I found this grocery mart via Unilocal!It has all the Asian goods I’ve been searching for at affordable prices. Of course they have the usual veggies and produce at these affordable prices as well. Not looking to restock my groceries, I still came out with a large bag of bok choy for about a dollar and change, and some bone in ribs that I’ve been searching for to make soup. The bok choy was fresh and surprisingly clean.
The usual items such as tomatoes, onions, etc. that you may buy at Meijer or Kroger seems to be cheaper here. They also sell duck and a pretty good selection of sea food. Lobster was ~$ 8/​pound. They also had tiger shrimp!
The aisles can get crowded especially if people have carts they’re shopping with, but hey, what kind of Asian supermarket would it be if it wasn’t like this?
Anyway, I’ll be sure to time some of my grocery shopping when I go to Madison Heights for my Asian food fix. It’s a quite a drive for me, but if I group errands together with my food fixes, it’ll be much more productive!
TIP: $ 10 MINIMUM purchase for credit card use!

Stumbled upon this seemingly small but actually decent size Asian grocery store while at Qq bakery. Ended up with a full basket of groceries!
Pros
–greaat selection of asian sauces, curry, spices… One stop shop if you are making phở, tom yum soup, hot pot soup base
–equally awesome selection of different frozen fish and meatballs
–good prices for fish and shrimp
–meat that are a must have for asian cuisine including duck, tongue, liver and pork belly
Cons
–small selection of asian vegetables but good for mushroom
–not alot of ramen choices and frozen dumplings were quite pricy compared to Trader joes or other stores

Although this place is small and gets packed. It is for a damn good reason. They’ve got a ton of your asian grocery needs. As a transplant from the San Francisco this is probably as good as it gets for the area. They have fish, the cuts of meats you need, fresh vegetables and herbs that you can’t find at some grocers, and even select cooking utensils.
I ended up going here specifically to look for pork hocks, neck bones, etc to make my ramen and it is only here that you can get these things for cheap no more than $ 5 for a hefty amount of one item. Holiday Market and even Meijer will have double the price on these items and mostly I’ve only seen beef marrow.
Whenever I’m here I really have to hold myself back from buying everything inthe store. Having just moved here I need to restock pile everything asian I had to leave behind in the move. I’ve been to about 5 others asian grocery markets to find the right one. Take it from me and don’t waste your time going somewhere else. This is the spot.

Thank God for this place! It has almost everything you need to cook your typical Asian dishes. This is a Vietnamese supermarket, so it does not have Korean side dishes. Instead, it has some pre made vietnamese dishes in the front. They also sell shrimp, beef, and poultry products. This is place is so much cheaper than Kroger, Meijer, and even H mart! I would rather come here than H mart. This place is busy though! Sometimes it is hard to find parking. The store is also compact, so you need to say excuse me like 100 times. Overall, great prices & selection. Will definitely return.

I have been going here regularly for my asian food needs. Usually the people who work there are helpful and friendly. Just not today.

Kim Nhung has always been my «go to» place for anything Asian that I KNOW I will not get anywhere else. On several occasions, I’ve found food ingredients here that I would normally NOT find in a Meijer or a Kroger or a WalMart. At one point in time, they even have packaged MINCED SMOKED FISH that, for those who are familiar with the Filipino dish PANCIT PALABOK, is a really MUST HAVE ingredient!
On one of my tips for this establishment, I’ve also mentioned that I’ve found an acne medicine that I’ve used back home that, on a hunch, I’ve tried hunting for at this place once before. What do you know, they DO sell it!
Kim Nhung is the closest thing to being at an Asian market back East. Heck, even the parking lot at peak hours have TRAFFIC — a true reminder of home. :-P Of course, they do not sell EVERYTHING you need. But 8 times out of 10 they would. I know. I counted! lol.
Another plus: QQ Bakery is just a few steps away and I ALWAYS have room in my tummy for their Ham and Scallion Rolls. :)

More of a Vietnamese supermarket. It is a bit crowded and run down but I do like that their produce is cleaner than some other Asian markets. I bought some baby bak choy and man were they clean. Usually, there are so much sand that you have to wash away.
They have a variety of frozen items with a wide variety of fresh fish! You can also buy some lobster here. Hey O!
They accept American Express.

I like this store. I could practically get everything I want from Asian condiments to tropical fruits, seafoods and other stuff. The store smells though but it might because they sell fresh seafood. Overall, I like the store.

Although this place gets a crowded at times, I can always find what I need here. From meats to spices to vegetables to herbs, they have it all here. Items are fairly priced even with inflation. The only teeny thing I have to complain about is when blue crabs are in season, you can’t preorder due to demand.

A small Asian supermarket hiding in the corner of a shopping plaza… Bigger inside than I thought it would be! It feels that there’s something new and interesting in every corner.
They have most if not all ingredients for Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Filipino cooking you could need. Things are a bit scattered around the store, but the staff is nice and will help you find what you are looking for. Please note that they do not have very many Japanese cooking ingredients. They have some, but not a lot.
They had a section of dishes, pots and pans, and household supplies as well — reasonable prices!
Did I mention the fresh seafood? They had live crawfish the day we went.

I loaded up on BBQ at Liang’s and now needed something else to round out the meal. Enter Kim’s, beckoning me from across the parking lot. I grabbed a basket and started shopping. It’s kind of a maze in here, but TOTALLY worth exploring every aisle, nook, cranny and shelf.
There’s a FABULOUS produce section in the back. Baby bok choy, chinese broccoli… stuff you won’t find at your average produce market. Also, if you want fresh herbs this is your place. All the herbs! In generous sized bundles, with large lush looking leaves. I swear I saw three differnet kinds of basil. Yoink.
They have a small cookware and ceramics section too. Some amazing deals can be found on lovely glazed soup bowls in all sorts of sizes. And say I was up to the task of making some authentic Thai sticky rice to go with some of those beautiful champagne mangos I saw, wasn’t sure I wanted but now want? I could because they sell those special wee little baskets! Aw hell YES.
All that and I managed to find non-​GMO soy sauce too. Wow! And the fish counter looked awesome. Hear that prawns/​crabs? I’m coming back for YOU.
There are lots of pre-​made foodstuffs and drinks in little fridge cases by the door and each register. I picked up what I think is a sticky rice triangle wrapped in a lotus leaf, filled with… either some sweet or savory goodness. It’s still in my fridge, as belly is still too filled with bbq. Soon…

Just about anything and everything you could need for authentic Asian dishes. The staff is helpful, too, if you are trying to hack a recipe. 6+ kinds of coconut milk and vast selection of seafood. Produce and herbs also rock – lots of choices – e.g. many types of galangal to choose from. Prices seem on par or better than Saigon Market and Oriental Market.
If I could, I would subtract half a star for a large freezer section smelling of stale urine. That’s not durian, and it ain’t seafood… it’s urine.

Kim Nhung is truly a SUPER market. If you want the real traditional ingredients for Asian dishes, I would drive the extra mile for here.
Are you an adventurous eater? Willing to take a chance and eat something you’ve never had before. I tried chicken and duck balut from here. They are the only place in the Detroit area that I know of that carries this. This is not for the faint of heart. Balut is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-​developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. It also is a luck of the draw on how developed the embryo is inside. The large white egg is the duck and the brown is the chicken.
I was very lucky on the chicken egg, it wasn’t developed very far at all. The egg white taste like the white chicken meat and the yolk was the dark chicken meat. Actually, the chicken balut wasn’t bad at all.
As for the duck balut, that was a different story. It is not shown here, but after opening it and taking a few bites, I couldn’t finish it. It had a very strong duck flavor and a bit slimy. I rarely do not finish something and the duck balut, well, it was one that I decided not to complete. Score one for the food. Enjoy if you’re courageous!
