Asahi Market: Reviews & Ratings
I'm on here to let the owner know that the Arabic girl working here, May, is the best cashier I have ever encountered. She treats this place like a home and all customers as her friends, helping every customer out and making sure we all get what we need. She is patient and kind with people of all ages and backgrounds. Very confident and honest in her work. Good job for bringing her here! I hope she stays as a welcoming face to Asahi. One of a kind girl!
I used this crunchy garlic all of the time... it is delicious ....this market has everything you need
The place is my go to spot for anything Asian . This last visit I got some crunchy garlic with chili oil . Had a good taste . On my visits there I've had good service and very helpful to finding items you need .
I will drive down from Ventura to Asahi whenever. They have a variety of Japanese snacks, drinks and ingredients. It's my favorite market in Oxnard. The staff is friendly and attentive.
This store has recently changed ownership- The owner also has Santa Cruz Market in Ventura Midtown. So he's experienced and has updated the store as mentioned in other reviews. Some Lebanese/ Middle Eastern items are sold in the back corner (which used to sell housewares, home goods) One thing I want to comment is on the items now available, newer items etc. They have really increased the amounts of sauces, condiments which are necessary for specific Asian dishes. This store is one of the few to have the Huong Foy (Green Rooster) Sriracha sauce. Stock up while still available. Edited update: Instant noodles-- They are boosting up on Buldak Fire noodles. You can always get individuals of these at 99 store to try flavors. They have Chapaghetti Jajangmyeon (black bean noodles). I did see Neoguri ramen Nongshim brand. and now I saw a variety of Sapporo Ichiban. I wish they would bring Bibigo for frozen dumpling and other items. They are the most popular Korean brand- also sold in Costco, Target and Winco.
Asahi Market is located in Downtown Oxnard on Oxnard Blvd & Seventh Street. They've been here forever. Ive been coming here for years, especially since it's close to where my parents live. If I don't feel like going to Island Pacific or if they don't have something I'm looking for in particular, I come here to Asahi Market to look for my Korean & Japanese needs. Mostly for sushi items like Nori. Bec there's so many different kinds. I like to make homemade hand rolls & sometimes sushi bake. So Seaweed Sheets & Seaweed Snacks, & Furikake seasonings are what I usually buy. Also they sell Masago here! Can't get enough of that stuff. There's a bunch of Noodles & Ramen here for you noodle heads. Different kinds of sauces. If you're lucky you can find desserts. Also lots of candy & snacks. It's a small store, so I'm in & out.
If you're looking for Korean or Japanese seasoning, snacks or other noms this store has the staples. Kimchi, furikake, togarashi sauce (yaaas). They even have Myojo frozen ramen. The owners are always nice and will answer questions. It's nice having a local store that has the basics and some few fun desserts -- Samanco azuki taiyaki :') Prices are reasonable, esp with today's gas prices + inflation I'd rather drive here and go to Dolce Vita cafe after for coffee + macarons than schlep to LA and deal with traffic. My faves: Nuclear noodles fun game night challenge with friends lol. Myojo Ramen: better than some ramen places in town Pickled daikon: great for banchan, wish they had daikon wraps but a girl can dream Kewpie - bahahahah Kimchi - always frash
