United Noodles in Minneapolis

Love this place. I go to UN frequently to restock pantry and fridge staples like black vinegar, oyster sauce, Gochujang, rice noodles, kimchi, and high quality sesame oil. Fantastic selection of all types of Asian ingredients, frozen food, and fresh produce. I always find something new or interesting to try out. Go with a list and an open mind, youll always leave excited to get home and cook.

Looks like theyre currently under renovations. This is a fun corner store hidden in a nook (its like Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. lol, hidden behind a unassuming BrickWall until you enter inside.Worth checking out now and then, since theyre always up to something new and rearranging things inside. Recommendations? I mainly come for the deli and drinks but it can get busy. If parking gets full -you can park at the stores next door, youll just have to be mindful not to park too long.

Best Asian supermarket in the Twin Cities. Fresh produce, bakery goods, and meat. Great for my family to stock up on hard to find Indonesian goods. Something for everyone here!

Great variety and selections of Asian foods, produce, and homegoods. Fair prices, helpful staff.

I went to Minneapolis by first time and when I found this store I definitely say "I had to go here". So I do and I love it. You can find a lot of Asian food here and its amazing.

Watch the register. I am a vegetarian and I noticed a few questionable meat items that the cashier didn’t even know what they were. Cashier rang up everything again and total was significantly less.

Wide selection of items, that are all reasonably priced. Everything from Ramen to dishware to spices. A great place to replenish your cabinet space or give you something to make a spectacular dinner.Highly recommend.

They were missing a few items that I was looking for: classic Japanese gummies shaped like hearts, individually packaged. Dried seaweed (not kelpfor soups. And soondubu jiggae broth ingredients. I wish the candy section included more Taiwanese types. Since they are trying to cover a lot of ground by stocking ingredients and food from multiple countries, this is a decent store to get the basics. I’m Asian American, grew up in Los Angeles and had access to every type of cuisine possible. This is a good store, considering that we are not on the coasts.

East to shop at Asian Market. Lots of variety at decent prices. Staff was adequate. Looking forward to trying all the goodies.

They got variety of Asian stuffs thereWe find what we need !A bit pricey ! But it is from time time thingPeople working there are very nice !Just a little bit far from where I live !I hope the Asian market in my neighborhood open soon !

United Noodles is such a great Asian grocery! Worth making the trek to the Hiawatha area and dealing with traffic. Came looking for ramen bowls and there was a great variety. Also picked up some ramen ingredients and a few fun random items as well because how can you not?

A great Asian market with all kinds of packaged products and spices, as well as fresh vegetables and meats. Highly recommended.

One of the largest Asian groceries that really spans all types of Asian ethnic groups. Its my go-to for Shin Ramen, my absolute favorite. They also have some Mexican food -- not much but some.I will say -- store layout is really weird. Theres essentially a right and left side of the store. The coolers end of being oddly arranged. It is nice too because they have kitchen supplies and bowls etc you cant get at "western stores" - ramen/pho spoons, hot pot separators, bento boxes, etc.

This is the quintessential asian grocery in the twin cities. If you need an obscure ingredient they almost certainly have it. If you need bulk goods they probably have several options. Big fan of Shin Ramyun? Buy a whole tray full! Best of the best!

Love shopping here! Theres a lot of different varieties of candies and items that other stores dont have. I highly recommend this place for all the shopping needs.

United Noodles have SO many options of Asian food from all over Asia! They have noodles, chips, candies, and regular groceries as well as other fruits and sea food that is not common to see in Minnisota. My favorite place by far when it comes to Asian food.

I have been shopping here for years and the quality has really gone down. I was very unhappy with the fresh peapods because they were not fresh at all. The shelves are very unorganized. The price tags on the shelf were not the same as what the product was next too. Very hit or miss if a product will be in stock. I will be hesitant to shop here again.

we went there on June 28th 2022, it was surprisingly this our favorite grocery store so empty n not much things in there n same as employees too, i talked to one of there employee n he told me that they were shorthanded, not enough people to work, kind of disappointing, i know they are remodeling too, but being one of largest Asian grocery stores in Minneapolis n they couldnt keep up the products, im not so sure i will come back to shop this grocery store, cuz i drive 40 minutes n nothing for me buy n also their price is increasing a lot too, used to be one of our favorable grocery stores, now i need to think about. even though they have nice employees but for us long drive n nothing to buy n price sigh 😕. oh well maybe just shop there once a year to help them, we can helping each other during this difficulty year.

really great asian market! had almost everything i needed! perfect place for daily/weekly grocery shopping or if you don’t live close it is a good place to take a day trip to so you can stock up. great produce! a few things are on the spendy side.

Likely due to the pandemic and supply chain issues, much of their inventory has become a small fraction of the past. Especially instant noodle selection. Hopefully this will improve in time. ☹

A little pricy, but definitely a great place to find the harder-to-get asian products in the cities. Also believe its a multi-family business. Support family-owned!

I could spend every dime I have here. Such a great place with so much cool stuff if you want to try something new. Also, the staff is so friendly and awesome.

I love going here for japanese and Korean related food that I cant find anywhere else. Especially if I dont want to wait or if Im just curious and want to try something new. This is one of my go to Asian stores. 🥰

If you are far away from Asia and you miss all about asian ... United noodles is the answer. You can found everything about Asian food , spices , ingredients , medicine and equipment in here .Place are bigger and variety are best . Good parking slot , just a little bit far from downtown

Have you ever traveled to Japan, or China, or Korea, or Vietnam, or Indonesia? Well, I have many times. If you have traveled to Asia, I am sure youre like me - always craving a certain food that you had over there and which you have simply given up trying to find here in Minnesota.Well, my buddy said, "oh, you should check out United Noodles". "what?" says me? Never heard of it. Well......... Now I am their biggest fan! I traveled up Hiawatha and followed Google Maps to UN. At least I thought I did - its in kind of a warehouse kind of place - parking is along the side of another warehouse. If you see the new "Coastal Seafood" location, turn into the alley in between the two warehouses. OR, follow all the Asian descent people (and crazy Caucasian people like me)! The place was a veritable zoo on the day I went there - crowded with people.This is a warehouse filled with Asian foods, spices, cooking oils, candies, frozen foods, drinks, noodles (dah, the name), meats, produce (I took a photo of true Japanese daikon!!!!and even cooking pots, pans, dishes and Asian toys! Truly overwhelming on the first time I went to UN. Plan to spend an hour or more just walking through the enormous warehouse-type building.I wandered through the place, marveling at the number of authentic Japanese and Korean foods that I saw on the shelves. Unbelievable, really.I have traveled to Japan for 125 days between 2017 - 2019. I fell in love with the foods and the culture of Japan. Now that I "discovered" UN, I can taste my "omoide" of my travels through Japan. Oh, and what food was I specifically never found in MN until United Noodles? Authentic Japanese "natto" (fermented soybeans all gooey and smelly), authentic soba noodles, and Japanese Mayonaise. Oh, and real Korean kimchi. I found all of them at UN!I have now shopped many times at UN. If you miss your time in Asia, or youre of Asian descent and miss the foods of your childhood, get to UN. Seriously. Prices were a bit higher, but these are unique foods that are mostly unavailable in any other shopping store in MN. So unique!5 star baby. Hontouni sugoi deshita! Aishite imasu, United Noodles!

Great Asian market with a huge variety of sauces, noodles, produce, fish, meat, teas and sweets.Many, many items you will never see in Target or Walmart!They still have a goofy mask requirement and the parking lot has always been an issue, but the store is great

United noodles is always a fun grocery stop. If you enjoy cooking with ingredients usually used in Asian cuisine, its a pretty safe bet that they will have what you need here!They also have an excellent selection of produce at a great price.

Love love love this place. Went in for Ramen supplies and left with so much more. There is so much variety and quality product here. Ive been looking for a loose green tea and found two to try from this store. So excited. So far so good. Thank you🍵🍃🍜😋

Love this place, amazing general Asian market with plenty of variety of everything you need from fruits, veggies, meat, seafood, spices, snacks, kitchenware, trinkets, etc, etc. If you dont shop here, youre doing yourself a disservice.

This is kind of Asian Market but mostly item from Japan China Vietnam got some from malaysia but not much.

Great store,fresh veggies and edibles. Loved the machi machi store with Bobba and teas.

I tell all my friends about this hidden gem. We always eat here every chance we get. We bring our exchange students from all over the world here to shop for any ingredient. They always have what we want! Our whole family looks forward to shopping here when we are in town. Still our favorite market after all these years.

This is an amazing place to find anything you need in the Asian realm of cooking, from everyday to fancy. Their meat counter is unbelievable with its array of unique affordable meats. Great produce selection with hard-to-find produce!(Pic of brining pork belly slab...)

I love this place!! A Korean friend recommended it to my this summer when I complained about craving Japanese/East Asian snacks, and now its my favorite local grocery store. It has the non-American snacks I crave like squid jerky and spicy tteokbokki, and it also has a great meat & fresh vegetable section.Only thing to note: If you go during COVID-19, please be respectful of their mask & limited household member policies!

Love this store! Just bought some wagyu steak the other day; best steak EVER! Also, their spicy pork Bahn mi sammies are THE BEST!!! They also have the cutest Ramen bowls to drool over😊

They have the freshest produce with large variety, with some of my favorite hometown vegetables, and the meat section is also impressive!! You can find all kinds of food from China, Japan and korea. The staff are friendly, honest, and provide superb services. 👏

Have only visited once but they had a good selection of both fresh and non-perishable items. I found exactly what I was looking for and the store had protocols in place for COVID. I will definitely be visiting again

I love shopping at United Noodle for its food selection. I love that they carry various Kit Kat flavors i can not get elsewhere.

Wow! Love this place! United Noodles has a authentic Oriental grocery and its absolutely amazing! Fresh produce, noodles and many other great Oriental foods! Definitely will be going back and Im impressed with the most of the staff, they helped me find alot of things I needed!Really awesome store! If your reading this...,you should go !

This place is incredible! So many different foods and options! I found sauces that I didnt know existed along with unique vegetables and frozen food. I cant wait to go back! And they have a deli in the store that serves really delicious foods! I ordered the Pork Bao and thought Id died an gone to heaven! Great place for a quick bite before or after you do your shopping. Highly recommend United Noodles!

They have a vast selection of Asian food. They also have a little cafe. The cafe used to be run by little old ladies with crazy good homestyle cooking, now its like ramen and spam sushi... the grocery part is still good.

Wings, Rice and Ramen! You will not be disappointed with United Noodle. The garlic chili wings are good, but not as good as the kimchi wings they previously had on the menu (hint: bring them back). This was my first time having the savory rice and it was phenomenal! I’d go back just for that dish! Keep it up United Noodle!

Love coming here to get a quick bite to eat and to get some groceries. Has a great selection of teas, candies, dry goods, instant noodles for busy days, and so on. One of my favorites to get from the deli area is the pork baos, they are filling and very tasty. My fiance loves the ramen especially the spicy miso.

I am learning so much about Minneapolis! United Noodles is an oriental food market that sells a lot of different cuisines from Chinese to Japanese to Indian, etc. They have a ramen restaurant in the middle of the store.You would not expect to drive by this place and know what it is - its kind of tucked in a warehouse district, but it is such a neat experience!For the fun experience and being able to get all ranges of Asian cuisine in a one stop shop, I give this place a 5 star. They had fruit that I had never seen before and apples straight from China!There were a few cons with coming here. You can find some good deals but it is a little spendy to shop here. I dont think its priced where you could do all your grocery shopping there if you wanted to. The staff were friendly but not very knowledgeable about the different products (at least in this experience). They knew where things were but not what the difference was between say a gold label and silver for seaweed. With this sort of store, it would be nice for newcomers to get more of a hands on experience and I would definitely have bought more.The ramen restaurant, we found out, doesnt use noodles that you can buy in their store...they buy them from somewhere else. I was kind of surprised they wouldnt offer a product that theyre advertising. Are their ramen noodles theyre selling not good then? What are you saying to customers?My boyfriend was raving about how good their ramen was until we had it. Dont get me wrong - the meat was falling apart tender (very impressive work with their meat and eggs!!- which was amazing, but ramen is mostly about the broth and the broth had no flavor. It smelled amazing but when you tried it, it just tasted more like water. Maybe thats how it is supposed to be? We added soy sauce and hot sauce to it and it ended up being really delicious!! But it didnt seem to be as good as it used to as far as flavor. Their calamari bites were really tasty. See the attached pictures!Their chopsticks that they offered were of really poor material and the wood splintered on all of the ones we opened. I have never worried about getting a splinter from chopsticks until I encountered these.Overall, though, a really neat time and I would definitely recommend trying this place out and eating some ramen!

I’m getting into ramen lately and found this place, the noodles had a nice texture but the pork was so thick cut and it needed to be cooked down more it was hard to bite into, the broth had nice flavor but egg was sooo salty I couldn’t eat it. Giving it a 4 star only because the peanuts in the ramen give such a nice texture and flavor I was sooo pleasantly surprisedAlso the savory rice was really good! Definitely will order again!!!

For those of us lucky to have spent enough time in South East Asia to fall in love with authentic Asian-inspired dishes this place is for you. Come for the hot soba (absolutely deliciousand leave with groceries to make your own at home. You won’t be disappointed.

I dont know any other Asian food markets in Minneapolis. But when I compare it with the Asian food markets at NYC/NJ, its nothing less in any way except the price is a bit higher than East coast. Most of the goods are imported from Asia. Its understandable that the cost of transportation added up the price difference. 90% goods you can get from NYC/NJ, you can also get them here. Wow, what a surprise!....

An awesome place to grab asian groceries! Employees are nice and helpful. Parking can be troublesome when its busy but there is parking space. Getting here is a bit confusing but its worth the drive. Unidelli is located inside as well. great place to eat and satisfy your ramen cravings and then buy instant noodles afterwards.

Awesome selection of some of the finest Asian goods and food. They also have a butcher shop in house as well as a huge selection of everything from fruits and vegetables to frozen and prepared foods, as well as a wide variety of spices and sauces. They also feature a small restaurant inside the building. I had a wonderful shopping experience here and the staff in every department were more than helpful when it came to answering all the different questions I had. I would definitely recommend for anyone shopping for authentic Asian cuisine and foods!

I find this place overwhelmingly cool due to the amount of Ramen , Cool Souvenir items , and foods you can find there . The Food court is small yet big enough to fit the people dining here. The wait however can be 5-10 Mintues long especially when your in a rush . My one complaint really is not having items like manga , anime , things youd find in a store like tomodachi.
