Din Ho Market

Very friendly people, a fairly good selection of Asian foods and condiments, and a great meat market and fish market. Some of the freshest fish I have had from a market. And the pork belly here is really good. Prices are decent too!
See ya there…

This market is conveniently located at the same mall as the Chinese restaurant and Chinese bakery. You can make your way over there after your meal. They have a variety of things from pots and pans to veggies to meats to seafood to frozen goods. They also have snacks and candy.
Their veggies are impressive since the seem pretty fresh. The seafoods and meats, not so much. They might need to switch out the lighting maybe because it looks pretty scary In the back over there.

I love this asian store. I have been to many large chain korean stores like H mart (these are as large as Publix) and am very satisfied with the products that Din Ho Market had. They had some of the unique items like philippine milk candies, thai seaweed snacks, chinese traditional snacks, and vietnamese coffee for just $ 6 while it was $ 10 at Whole Foods. Their pink label Kokuho rice (premium japanese rice) was cheaper than MD market and Korean small markets in Tampa.

I absolutely love this Asian store. Its located on Armenia tucked in a small shopping strip along with China Yuan right across from it. I have been feeling under the weather lately and wanted to make some homemade phở. Chicken phở is not hard to make just a lot of ingredients here and there. I was able to buy everything I needed for under $ 15 bucks. I got bean sprouts, limes, bok choy, 2 bags of noodles and meatballs. I love coming here because not only do they have real Asian items I need, they are very inexpensive.
Another plus the owner I believe speaks perfect English and always has special deals with fruits and rice. One down side to this shop is the meat doesn‘t look very clean and fresh. I wanted some ground chicken or pork but after standing there for awhile I felt a tad on the grossed out side. I do feel like a lot of people don‘t give this store enough credit. The have a variety of Asian products from all over asia and very friendly staff. I work down the street so it‘s very convenient for me on my way home.
I would highly recommend this place to another looking for some quick pick me up authentic Asian products.

Din-​ho might look small on the outside, but it surprised me on the inside. it had eveything I was looking for. they have fresh produce, meats, snacks, etc. I loved it perso ally. They have a wide selection of items.

Din Ho is a mid-​sized Asian market with a decent selection of fresh produce, spices, sauces, canned, packaged, and frozen goods, along with a meat & seafood counter, and a small bakery. You’ll find Din Ho along Armenia Avenue, just north of Waters, in the same shopping center as China Yuan restaurant and Fortune Star Bakery.
The selection of foods is not as robust as Oceanic Oriental Supermarket downtown on Tampa Avenue or MD Oriental Market east of I-​275 on Fowler, but it’s a great local spot to stock up on Raman noodles, fresh Asian veggies for a stir fry, and some sauces. I would not make this my primary Asian foods market as I think the selection and freshness is better at the other two places, but it’s a nice place to go for some inexpensive Bok Choy, fresh green onions, ginger, and bean sprouts when you’re planning a stir fry and don’t feel like driving all over town.
I found rice noodles, Thai basil, and some Raman noodle soup, along with a bunch of fresh veggies, and was out the door for about $ 10. Tough to beat great prices like that!
The staff and customers are not well-​versed in English, so don’t expect to get a lot of help. Most of the signage and packaging is in Chinese.

Lots of fresh fish, large frozen food area, pretty much all the basics you would expect at an Asian Supermarket. Large, spacious, not what you would think from the outside.
Prices are decent. Location is in an old Asian strip mall that could use some updating. Kinda creepy lookin.
Have fun, worth a stop.

This place is an institution in good ol tampa. I remember coming here before I can remember coming here. A couple competitors have come up, but Din Ho is still a going. Lots of snacks here for the guys like me who grew up on them (yum shrimp chip shaped msg) and for the animé fanatics who are looking for their pocky fix (try the lychee gummies instead). Pretty decently priced produce, but like Coty S. mentions not that much especially if all the old chinese ladies beat you there. As for the meat section, it does look suspect, but I haven’t died yet.
cheers

Din Ho is in the plaza across from China Yuan, so I will often stop there for groceries on my way back to Bradenton. They have a large assortment of dry goods and an entire section of ramen near the front register. I have found that they have excellent produce, but their selection is not extensive. Their fresh fish and meat section is always fun to walk through, but I am still weary of purchasing these raw and highly perishable items from them. Sometimes there are dim sum items near the front register and there is a glass case with roast pork and duck inside. I would prefer to buy those barbeque and roast items from across the street at China Yuan because they are cooking new batches all day long when they sell out, so you know it is fresher.
Din Ho is a great place for dry goods, candy, and snacks. For all of your needs drive a little further and check the larger markets like MD Oriental on Fowler, or Oceanic on Tampa Ave. Just make sure, when buying from any specialty foods market, that you check the expiration date on items.
