We always make a visit here when I'm in town. This is a very well stocked Asian grocery store owned by Vietnamese Chinese Americans. Owner is always very social, friendly and loves to chat in Mandarin Chinese. Today, he let me taste a lemongrass green beans and pork dish from the hot foods bar. I would've bought an order but it was just too spicy for me, but very tasty. This place is also stocked with many ready made Thai and Vietnamese dishes, including egg rolls, Vietnamese breads, Chinese crullers, Vietnamese desserts, Vietnamese rice rolls, Chinese pork and chicken baos, Thai mango salad, etc. Take a look inside the fridges when you first enter this grocery store. They have a lot packed in here and have a lot of what you need for Asian cooking. It's a small store with narrow aisles and packed to the gills. We also come here to get Asian incense sticks, which they have a good selection to choose from. Small parking lot outside and you can find metered parking on the street also. A very solid, Asian supermarket that probably has a lot of what you need. We will definitely be back.

Great store. There are a lot of Thai and Vietnamese ingredients and foods you can't get at the big Korean grocery stores like Lotte and HMart. They have some prepared food that usually come in on Saturday around noon and it always pretty good. I really like their bubble tea also. The people who work there are nice and friendly.

Awesome small southeast Asian grocery. They have hat nem for those of you who are making pho, one of the few stores in Maryland that have it (I've gone to all the ones in Rockville and Gaithersburg to find it).

Hung Phat Grocery One of the best asian grocery in my list, locally owned by a Vietnamnese. The aisles are well stocked and organized, some freezer items in freezer aisle along with fresh veggies. Some ingredients like fish sauce or certain brands of rice that you can only find here, nowhere else. Also have hot or warm homemade meals at the front area of the store, homemade meals cookings daily for lunch and maybe dinner if there's more left. Don't forget they also have fresh homemade snacks available mostly has more options during weekends, and never forget to check on freshly homemade snacks in chiller too! 11315 Fern St, Wheaton-Glenmont, MD 20902 daily 8.30AM - 7PM accessible but very tight. never checked on this, but you may ask. the limited parking spot mostly on weekends #hungphatgroceries #wheatonmd #mocomd #visitmoco #visitmaryland

Pro: specializing in Asian ingredients & food, friendly service/ staff. Con: small parking lot, meter parking. My family have been shopping at this store for Asian ingredients for years(20+) and the owner is a very nice man who get to know his customers. They also offer boba tea and have a food station. Anything you need from rice noodle, cha( viet pork) , Asian oil, banh mi, and more they got. The only down side for me is that the parking lot is small and lot of Asian people drive big cars so when they try to reverse out it a mess :( There is the option of meter parking on the street but the rate is so trash, for one quarter they only give you 12 minutes. Meter maid do go around looking and give tickets so be careful. All in all this store is great and help provide a benefit to the Asian community.

I have had very little luck finding any kaffir lime leaves recently. I've gone to Hmart, and 99Ranch in Gaithersburg and Fairfax. I've checked Lotte. No luck. And then I looked up Thai grocer and of course Yelp suggested Hung Phat Grocery which I had no idea it existed till today. What a gem of a place! Talk about a hidden gem alright. It's right by Nava Thai, and across from Safeway and close to Wheaton Mall. I was thrilled to find frozen shaved coconut which is essential to create kerisik --a dry roasted shaved coconut. I haven't had very good luck finding them in the area but now I know where I can find them. They also carry Arroy-D Coconut milk, which in my opinion tastes better than other brands. It was less than $1.60 per can beating the price of $1.89 at 99Ranch Fairfax. I thought that was a steal too. They also have fresh Vietnamese noodles perfect to accompany homemade pho or making other noodle dishes like pad thai. All in all their selections of essentials to create Thai, Vietnamese, or Malay or Indonesian was phenomenal. Given the location it's in, it's normally not the easiest to find good parking much less FREE parking in front of the store. They've earned themselves a loyal customer today just with the ease of parking part! Perhaps some of the only complaints I have are how narrow and cramped the store inside is and how unfresh the keffir limes were. I mean I originally came in just to purchase some and all I got were $3 fistful of sad sad frozen brown leaves. I mean you put those leaves in curry dishes as aromatics and what's the damn point of it if it's so browned and stale? Next time, I'll know better and just skip it. Lastly, figuring out where to queue up for register is very confusing. Just a warning though!

I ran into this cute little grocery store while visiting Wheaton. It is walking distance from the Wheaton metro station, and so is pretty convenient. They also have their own parking, so you can skip the street parking. Hung Phat not only makes their own meals in the store, but also have a selection of bubble tea recipes. As a fruit milk tea hunter, I can verify how good their mango milk bubble tea recipe is! I was happy to have ran into this spot whilst craving some bubble tea. I also took a walk around the store and found a selection of Asian drinks, snacks, condiments, and some general groceries as well. Worth the visit!
