I finally got a chance to go to the Grand Asia Market after a huge string of luck that involved all my coworkers having cash and being willing to try something new. Some prodding was necessary to coax a couple of them to try something that was bound to be different. There were various questions pertaining to the sanitation score and what types of meat they would slip to the unsuspecting American.
Once we arrived, things didn't appear so odd. In fact, being Caucasians, we were most likely the oddest thing in the store. Giving the menu a once-over we began asking questions, making the thickly accented woman behind he counter repeat herself, then making our orders. Broccoli and beef, roasted duck, pig stomach, chicken spare ribs (I think), a lot of steamed rice and a few different vegetable sides.
I had the chicken and tasted the rest of the entrées except the duck. Everything was well cooked and a few of the meats reminded me of various dim sum dishes I had in China Town. It's been a few weeks since I've been, so I've forgotten a lot of the details about the dishes, but I would still recommend the place. All the skeptics left with their stomachs full and happy that they had found another good Asian place to eat. As far as the prices go, the best deal for lunch is picking three items from the food bar, which also comes with about a ton of rice, for $6. I promise that you cannot finish all the food that is packed in to the standard Styrofoam takeout box. Other options include menu items and sides that range from $2 to $10 for the roasted duck.

That market is so authentic. I have had first hand experience in Hong Kong and the Eateries there are the same as that market. The products offered are very much inline with the Homeland. It is a must place to visit, you will feel like a tourist in your own Town.
