CAM Asia Supermarket

It is very bad market who sells rice with lots insects, yam noodles with mold. The price of everything is much expensive than the rest of Asian supermarket at downtown Cleveland.

Easily my favorite Asian market in all of The Land. Probably the cleanest of all of them, and they have the biggest variety of items for most ethnic cuisines (particularly Japanese, my favorite to cook, which other stores are sorely lacking).
They also have a little café section that serves up bubble tea, scallion pancakes, and egg waffles (!). I haven’t tried their bubble tea. I sampled their scallion pancakes and they were just ok. And every time I request the egg waffle they say they can’t make it for me, so I just stopped asking.
As with all Asian markets, make sure you check the expiration date on things before you buy them.

Disconcertingly clean. Good prices and fresh produce and meat. Didn’t see any expired or old-​looking food here, which is always a pleasant surprise for an Asian grocery joint. I was able to load up on Thai pantry staples. Aisles are helpfully organized by country. Bonus points for stocking thinly sliced pork and beef in their freezer section, for those carnivorous times you feel like making some bulgogi, galbi, or shabu shabu.

One of the cleanest Asian Supermarket in Cleveland. I usually go here when I don’t feel like driving all the way downtown to Asia Town. I like how this place has a huge parking lot, fresh vegetables, fresh meat selections, very clean and bright inside, bubble tea at the little restaurant at the front when you first walk in, the people are not rude like other Asian Stores, and last but not least is that I like how it’s not as crowded and loud like the other Asian Supermarket. I don’t like how this place is in an abandoned plaza, the selection of vegetables are smaller, the packaging of the vegetables are smaller, some items are over priced (compared to other Asian stores), and they don’t have coconut soda.

The cleanest asian supermarket I have ever been to. The ones back home in the Bay Area San Francisco area are never this clean. When you first pull up it looks abandoned, but no fear it’s not. I went here today on a Wednesday and its disappointing that the food places in there are close during the week. I guess there isn’t much business for it during the week.
Reason for the 5 stars in they have GREEN TEA OREOS! At our asian markets in SF I have yet to find them there since we’ve returned from our honeymoon in Japan. I made sure to stock up before leaving CAM’s. Also its was pretty empty during the day on a wednesday, which never happens in the bay area. Always so many people everywhere, but this place is legit. If you need asian goods this place is great! Selection is a little smaller than back home, but it still has the essentials. Plus LOTS of parking!
Also I have to add one thing about reading a review by someone who decided to point out all the different ethnicities of who she was writing about… I’m half Chinese and it disappoints me that she doesn’t know the cultural differences in the Chinese culture. Come to SF Chinatown and see how they treat you it’s no different. Everyone is treated the same. Chinese culture is far from Midwest culture.

This Asian supermarket was superior than its competitors in three ways. A. The eatery B. More organic items C. Wider cultural representation other than Chinese.
A. For y’all fans of the eatery at Cam, I have a sad news for you — the eatery is not in operation anymore. It was shocking to me because I’ve been coming here for 7 years, mostly because of the eatery. The grocery shopping was an added bonus.
I chatted with the employees to express my disappointment. They said the owner closed it because it was not profitable, but it seemed weird to them that there have been a lot of customers like me, came asking about the eatery.
The store started serving crepes next to the eatery a short while ago. They still keep the crêpe running even though the eatery is closed. I suppose it’s profitable. The crêpe stand newly adds a new item, as shown in my picture — 肉夾饃 ground meat (pork?) in a sesame bun. The meat is flavorful; the bun… did not win my mom’s approval. She is somewhat a «dough snob» (see my Szechuan gourmet review).
B. The supermarket now has a dedicated aisle of organic inventory next to the fresh produce section. In the produce section there are organic eggs and 3 types of organic mushrooms, product of Canada. None of the other Chinese supermarkets in Cleveland can match this scale.
C. Unlike other Chinese grocery stores in the Asian town area, Cam dedicates a good portion of its inventory to other food culture besides Chinese. More Japanese, Korean, SE Asian, middle eastern, Eastern European, Russian products can be found here.
I plan to email the headquarter about the eatery. It is a loss of authentic inexpensive Chinese good eats on the east side.

CAM is overall a good Chinese Supermarket in Cleveland. It’s clean and organized. You can get almost everything you need there. I prefer to go to Park to Shop in downtown because of more food selection and better price.

One of my absolute favorite places to shop! Always fresh produce and an amazing selection of Asian sauces, spices, snacks, and so much more. I have been going for years, and their pricing is always fair. I love it!

It might have been a bad choice to go on Wednesday afternoon. It was rather scary to be there because literally no activity on the parking lot. Food choice was so so, knowing the better selection in California. I was also disgusted by the fact that some of products have no expiration date. Wtf? It was surely nice to have even one Asian market but I would make sure on expiration date and stuff there.

Decent store but certainly now the best Asian store in Cleveland,

Awesome awesome awesome! I have been going to this store for years and years and I love it. Great variety, very clean and organized. The employees are pretty awesome too! All around great store, always has what I need. Totally worth the 30 min drive!

This place is a bit out of the way for me, so I usually combine it with a trip to Trader Joe’s to make the gas worth it. This is the cleanest Asian supermarket in Cleveland (that I’m aware of) and pretty much has everything you could want.
Today, I came for a special cut of meat (niu nan) to make Taiwanese beef noodle soup. As far as I know, this is the only place that has it, and I love it with lots of meat and less tendon. The meats here definitely look fresher than Park to Shop. On the other hand, this place does not have my beloved concentrated Calpico, while Park to Shop occasionally does have it.
And like grocery stores in general, you need to shop for a bargain. Some things are cheaper here than Park to Shop or Asia Food Company, while other things are exorbitantly more expensive. But I’m typically pretty grateful that *some* grocery store in Cleveland will have what I want, because I really don’t want to pay a crazy amount for 5 cases of a spice I want (ahem, Amazon…)

Went there first time yesterday. First impression was great — clean and spacious. A lot of snacks! And bakery! So I loaded pastries, mostly various sweet buns. My dad said that veggies are not freshest and are pricier than Chinese grocery stores in China Town area, but I brushed away.
This morning I opened one sweet bun with cream filling, and immediately smelled strong chemical odor and it was from cream filling. Then I opened a different one — it has a mold spot! So both ended in trash can.
I will surely not return!

CAMs is a surprisingly clean market with a wide variety of products. It is one of the few places where one can find ingredients such as rabbit and cows tongue. I do find it amusing walking in and having them run Chinese state run tv.

Stopped in here on Saturday morning before hitting up Miles Market down the road. I was super excited to find this store in such a convenient location (sure, it’s not the prettiest, but it’s easy to get to). I didn’t get any frozen foods or produce, but they did seem to have a decent selection. Some of the produce is available at tradtional grocery stores, but at higher prices (bok choy, cilantro, basil, etc.) and some of it is stuff I had never seen even at Heinen’s or Whole Foods.
It’s definitely worth a visit just to look around. I bet you’ll find something that you want to try! I’ll certainly be back.

OMG — this place has been here for 6 years?! How in the world did I discover that only now???
This was my first visit to CAM Asia Supermarket — a hot tip from an astute coworker of mine (thanks Robert!). It was a mind-​blowing, gut-​satisfying, and a heart-​contending trip down memory lane — foods, name brands, even smells I was once so used to daily in Singapore and Hawaii. And even though I tried to race through the store just «to look» (and not touch my wallet), I still ended up with $ 25 of goodies at the register!
What an impressive size and collection, CAM Asia Supermarket is not that standard Asian sundries store in Cleveland/​Akron with 1 freezer, a couple of dry shelves, and a bunch of Chinese porn in the back. This is most definitely a grocery store the size of a small Krogers or small Giant Eagle. Like any other grocery store, it has your typical fresh, frozen, and dry goods sections — except it’s all Asian stuff. I was absolutely amazed by the variety of products (i.e. drinks, sauces, picked/​canned veggies, mixes, snacks) and name brands (i.e. Yeo Hap Sing) that lined the long aisles of shelves — virtually all I remember being regular items seen throughout grocery shelves in Asia.
The fresh stuff was great, too! Where else can you find packages of roast duck and seasoned baby octopus ready to pick up for the noshing?! (The latter was even more fun to bring home and freak out the wife with… hee hee!)
The cold counters lining the back of the store offers all sorts of fresh fish and meat products — stuff I guarantee you won’t find at Giant Eagle or Heinens! LOL!
CAM Asia Supermarket has an unassuming storefront that occupies about ¹⁄₃^rd of a building (and city) that has once seen better days — but it does have a rather large tower sign out front. The store is situated in an upper corner of that weird, triangular nexus of I-​480, I-​271, and US-​422 southeast of Cleveland making it easy to get to from all points throughout the city. That is, if you don’t get lost in mish-​mash of Northfield, Bedford Heights, Warrensville Heights, and Maple Heights. Just remember MILES Road between NORTHFIELD and WARRENSVILLE CENTER Roads and you’ll be fine.
If it’s Asian, it’s there — fresh, frozen, packaged, or canned! Enjoy!

This is the best Asian Market in the area. I always go here and it’s a 45 minute drive for me. They have a HUGE selection on everything you could imagine, from rice to pocky. Always clean and neat, I love their produce and seafood. A HUGE 200 – 300 gallon tank with fresh fish for sale. In the summer they usually have fresh, flown in blue crabs.
A small café/​restaurant is located just inside the doors on the right and Asian nick-​nacks on the left.
A large, private lot offers many parking spaces. Not located in the best of neighborhoods, but worth the trip!

The 1^st thing I look up whenever I move to different city — especially big cities — is where to find Asian store.
CAM is the 2^nd big asian store I found in Cleveland area. As it’s located near where I lived, I went there more often than the one downtown.
When you go here, make sure to check some green vegetables which they have a lot and less expensive, especially compare to local grocery stores.
It also has good selection of fish — both frozen and fresh. They have frozen meat like short ribs beef, beef oxtail, beef tongue which not always available in local grocery stores.
CAM covers pretty wide ‘asian’ food selections: chinese, japanese, korean, pinoy, thai, Indonesian and little bit Indian. It has many noodles selection, which sometimes can be confusing, and the staffs cant really give any recommendation on what’s good.
To Indonesian customers like me, the only missing items in this store is ‘tempe’ but other basic things like Kecap Manis, Indomie, Blueband margarine, sambel, instant seasonings, different selections of krupuk are available in the store.
They also sell Chinese breakable decorations in the front of the store. Sometimes I found Hello Kitty merchandise there as well.

I think this is unequivocally the best Asian grocery store in Cleveland. Why? Well they carry Chinese goods but they also have a decent amount of Japanese goods. The frozen foods section is good and they have a nice variety and selection of produce, all of which are reasonably priced.
The space is big, after all, square footage is not really an issue in the Randall Park Mall area. Parking is easy too. The surrounding area seems a little dicey, but is there any Asian grocery store in Cleveland where that’s not the case?
On the day that I ventured to CAM I was delighted to find fresh persimmons, plump chestnuts that I plan to roast, Kabocha (Its a type of Japanese squash that I haven’t been able to find since moving to Cleveland), a decent selection of Japanese pickles and Japanese fish cakes. They also had a nice selection of teas.
There is a small restaurant in the grocery store for those feeling adventurous.

Having recently moved from California, I have been trying to find listings for anything vaguely Asian in the Cleveland area, and found this place after various google and Unilocal searches. As we drove around the mostly closed businesses, I saw a forlorn sign at the Randall Park Mall proclaiming, «Mall Still Open.»
Inside the market, there is a fairly large selection of vegetables and a smaller selection of fruit. I was happy to see things like dried mangoes and other snacks. There were also things like frozen dumplings, edamame, and mochi ice cream. I ended up buying several jars of sauces, apples, haw flakes, beef jerky, tofu, and other odds and ends for under $ 20. I expect that this will probably become a regular expedition.
