If you're Asian, this place IS the shopping experience. Fully stocked and lots of good brands and products. Only jungle Jim's is even close for products availability. But this place is more convenient right off of I-75 off exit 14. Very central location for everyone in the Cincinnati area. Fun to just go in and browse on a Sunday.

Probably the best place to get ingredients at a good price of you are looking to make Asian cuisine or do a hot pot with some friends and family. They also have a wider selection of Asian foods you just won't find anywhere else.

Amazing store with a huge verity of foreign goods. Everything under one roof. You can find foods from all sorts of countries here, Chinese, Japanese, Russian and more. And to top it off, it has some of the best prices around. The store gets two deliveries a week and a the best stuff is sold out within a day. I recommend this place to anyone who likes to try something new, or anyone who wants to remember home cooking

I really enjoy the store however I went to get bubble tea and waited 30 minutes for two bubble teas. It was obnoxious and very frustrating. There was one person working at the stand and four customers. The tea was good but not worth the wait sadly.

This store has a majority of Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese and Japanese items. Fresh vegetables, cosmetics, cookware included. There is a section with food from various European countries as well. Plan a longer visit on your first trip and walk the aisles enjoying the variety of things offered.

This place is amazing. I was expecting a little corner store. I was so surprised. I thought I would run in and buy one item and run out. I was there for over 2 hours because I was fascinated with their enormous selection. It is a large clean airy store. I had no idea what most of the items were so I spent lots of time reading ingredients. It is not just a shopping trip, but an experience. Most items are Chinese, but other countries are represented too. I had lots of fun.

I would give a zero star if I was able to. I shop every Friday at Cam, but this past Friday me and my husband were in the checkout line to make our purcahse. The customer ahead of us had a tremendous amount of groceries and, once all his items were bagged and rang up, was having an issue with their payment card. This is fine, those things happen, so we waited in line as the cashier and others attempted to rering all of the items. At this time a different person took over that transaction, and the original cashier opened another lane and began to wave the rest of the customers from the back of the line over to the new open lane.

I asked the cashier why she didn't ask me, the next person in line who had been waiting patiently, to go over to the next line instead of ringing out customers who had just entered the line. When I asked her about this decision, she began to give me horrible attitude and tell me that "this is how we do it here". I expressed to her that the reason I was unhappy was her decision to force to wait even longer while she checks out other customers, to which she threw her things down and said she wasn't going to serve me, that "this is ridiculous", as well as saying she was going to call the police on me for "insulting" her?

The cashier also took liberty to say some of these things in English, assuming I wouldn't understand, and only ended her tirade when I acknowledged that yes, I speak and understand English perfectly well. My family spends at least 300 dollars a week in this store, and that doesn't include my additonal family and friends; all of whom I have told about this experience, and none of whom will be contributing their spending power with to establishment until their customer service issues are sorted out.

Supermarket catering to Vietnamese or Cambodian cuisine. Lots of processed foods. Meats are more inner organs oriented. Not a wide range of fresh produce. Okay market but not a go-to stop for hard to find items.

I'm from Philippines and it's sad we have very very few stocks on their shelves. Anyway I tried some southeast Asian food, spices, vegetables and some other produce and everything went well in my kitchen. I can cook Filipino food which is great! I feel at home at this place too.

If you're looking for a lot of different Asian vegetables this place is great for various goods. Its a great place to stock up on Tofu, Kimchi, and other goods you wouldn't find at a typical Kroger. Plus they sell Rice in bulk.

Really enjoy the variety here, love this whole shopping strip actually. They are offering some Russian goods as well, (in a small section) and the spices, teas and other cooking supplies make it well worth the time spent.

I love going to this market. We enjoy the asian snacks, frozen dumplings, leek pancakes, and bao. This is also a good place to get bones for bone broth. Even exotic ingredients such as oxtail, chicken paws, pig feet, and duck feet. I also really enjoy the selection of Asian cabbages and mushrooms. We usually pick up cold cans of delicious milk tea on our way out.

this place is very interesting I like it because it reminds me of my Chinese friend from high school mean-lee and a couple of times I went there it reminded me of my uncle chris and salem and the guys don't ask me why! they also have a few backrooms which always tend to be dimly lit and I always feel an urge to go back there for some reason but find it uncomfortable to do so even though my uncle chris would risk his life to do anything like that or at least he used to back when he fought the angry cheesy dinosaur. like one other person has said the cashier can be rude at times and may not be as bright and I have indeed faced that situation with that person one time but she never really said anything to me to my face that would alert that something's up but she got us through the line quick and we were off with our items in less than 5 minutes. so maybe she was just having a bad day or is like that while working there? who knows! I would just ignore them and pay for my stuff then leave I guess or come in a different day when that person's not working.

Worst Customer Service Ever!!!!

Worst Customer Service Ever!!!!

My wife and I, after a Christmas vacation in Mexico, bought a box of salted and cooked Duck eggs from CAM this month. And we found two of the eggs, actually, 2 out of 8, did not have the normal color, they appeared green and black, were rather rotten though vacuum packed. We did not like the quality of the eggs, and also worried that may be very unhealthy to human body. When we tried to show the box to the customer service, the service lady was very rude and impolite, without even apology but totally ignored us when we could not show her the receipt we bought the eggs a couple of weeks ago. We were so disappointed about her attitude, and we never ever met such lousy customer service in Cincinnati before. We wonder, how CAM can hire such a person or have such a lousy customer service department, not even professional, to handle the relationship between business and customers. The existence of such a customer service will definitely contaminate the image or impression of the business in the long run.

The customer service lady used to work in the Chinese crepe department. We do not even want to see her again.

Wide selection, reasonable prices, organized and well stocked. The only challenge I had was communication- I had questions about products however was not able to communicate with any of the employees due to language barriers. I speak English, Spanish, and some italian, french, amharic, Hebrew and a bit of German but no asian languages - something to work on.... fun place to visit overall!

This Chinese store has a decent selection of Russian/Eastern European Food. Also, you can get fresh fish here. Ask them to clean it for you. If you just in and out; don't talk to anyone - best experience ever! Russian/Eastern European Food is cheaper then Russian stores in the area.

Lots of variety and easy to navigate. Haven't had any issues stocking my pantry with items I may need for "exotic" Asian recipes. It's a good habit to check for expiration dates as I have come across the occasional expired product.

Ridiculously expensive.Staff are unfriendly.They barely smile or talk.Only reason why I go there is because it is close to my house.There are a couple items I like to buy that are hard to find.I would much rather support Jungle Jims but I dont like to drive that far.

Just had a bad experience. The price tag on the item bought was mislabeled. The customer service did non honor the original price. It is a matter of a few dollars to me but poor customer service received has much greater impact up to the point not returning to this store. The customer service person did not even apologize for the misleading information.

So much interesting stuff. The varieties of Asian foods is unbelievable. I wish I knew more about cooking Asian cuisine because if I needed an ingredient for a recipe chances are Cam would have it. I love just wondering around and looking at everything.

The snack aisle is paradise. So many interesting snacks to try. I can't wait to come back.
