Could someone please point me to any large, well-stocked Asian grocery stores in the Littleton area? I am specifically looking for Thai ingredients while on a visit to the area. Thanks in advance.
Well, I’m not familiar with stuff in Littleton, but there’s a big Asian center (with grocery stores, restaraunts, etc) at Federal and Alameda, which would be 5-10 miles from you (depending on where in Littleton you’re at). I haven’t been in any of them for a while (I used to date a Vietnamese girl who lived in the area), so I can’t say if they’ll have exactly what you’re looking for.
Also not familiar with Littleton, but there’s Pacific Mercantile right near the 16th street Mall in downtown Denver. You can get there on light rail from Littleton if you don’t want to drive.
I think the Alameda and Federal suggestion is also a good one.
There’s Pacific Market on the south side of Alameda about 1/2 mile E of Federal.
There’s the previously mentioned Asian center on the W side of Federal 1/2 block S of Alameda.
Just south of that, also on the E side of Federal, is 88 Asian Market, which is where we get stuff we need. They’ll have Thai stuff I know for sure.
Viet Hoa (the Asian grocrery store NoCoolUserName is referring to) would probably be fine. Pacific Mercantile is almost exclusively Japanese.
What would probably be best is H Mart: http://www.hmart.com/
Largest Asian grocery store in Colorado, AFAIK, and reasonably close to Littleton (2751 South Parker Rd.). They have a ton of stuff from all Asian nationalities, lots of fresh vegetables, meats, an slightly prepared foods, along with all of the normal prepared/boxed/canned/etc. stuff.
Thanks to everyone for the information.
Pacific Ocean is really good. It’s somewhere near the Flatirons Mall in a suburb. I know this isn’t very helpful, but it’s maybe a 20 minute drive from Boulder. Really a good Asia supermarket. Has tons of stuff from all over Asia.
I saw this on a blog:
Denver, Colorado
Jeff, a visitor from the Mile High City, says that the Viet area in Denver is “mostly located on South Federal Street from Alameda Blvd to Mississippi Street (approximately 8 blocks), or 300 South to 1100 South and 3200 West. 90% of businesses are Vietnamese with a Vietnamese mall on the Southwest corner of Federal and Alameda called the Far East Center. There is also 2 large supermarket size Vietnamese grocery stores at 2200 West Alameda (Viet Hoa and Pacific Ocean). Many a great bowl of Pho to be had in this part of Denver.”
