Very fresh produce and fruit at a fair price. Better than large grocery chains! Fresh fish selection & meat was also impressive & fresh. My first visit left a good impression. Great selection of frozen dumplings, wontons & shumai, etc. But, I wish the bakery & their prepared sushi offered more. The only other Asian Market I've been to is Mitsuwa, but they are larger & didn't carry the Chinese Long beans I was looking for. Would come back again!

I love checking out foods that I normally cannot find in Northern Michigan. This place didn't disappoint one bit! I'm a sucker for beverages I can't normally find, or new ones I've never seen. Kinda pumped though that I found M-150 I haven't had it since an old coworker brought one back from Thailand. I was able to get a bunch of random snacks for our kids to try and got some interesting beverages along with some alcoholic offerings. The produce looked great and the meat area looked way better than most other places. First time seeing duck eggs and preserved eggs and I was too "chicken" to get the preserved eggs. Great experience!

The best fish is sold here! They also have food court, where fresh food is made daily ( except Tuesdays). Prices are good. I also like the bakery. Convenient location in Schaumburg by Target on Meacham.

Two things keep me going to Fresh International Market almost every week. Their DIY Hot pot and egg tarts! Oh, my goodness. It gets me salivating every time I think about it! I am obsessed with their mala hotpot and mala stir fry!!! It has been my top #1 for awhile now. On Thursdays, they have a 20% discount for all the diy mala dishes! I am addicted, and it keeps me going every week. After you put your veggies in the white veggie basket and protein in the pink protein basket, you bring it to the cashier to mark and check off a slip of paper. The slip has you checking off what type of mala you want, add rice, the spice level, whether you want cilantro and peanuts, and if you want it for here or to go. I recommend getting rice on the side! IT'S WORTH IT, especially with the stir fry! Then, pass it to the cashier to weigh your item. After your delicious hotpot/stir fry, go to the bakery on the other side to grab some egg tarts! Buy 2, get 1, free on Mondays, I believe. So delicious. The market itself seems pretty clean inside. I can't wait to go back on Thursday!

It has most of the Chinese spices you are looking for, but limited in brand name selection. I usually go here for hotpot ingredients and sauce. Buy 2 get 1 free pastry on Monday’s. It also has a small food court , 2 vendors, bubble tea place where people do not understand “minimum sugar” , and a hotpot place which is actually decent.
