Great prices with diversity in food selection for Asian and Mexican/South American foods. I live their plant sales too! I wish it was closer to me :(.

Combine a "normal" grocery store with a huge Hispanic and huge Asian section with unique and hard-to-find fruits, veggies, spices and foods and you have Saars. Perfect for finding those unique ingredients or trying new things.

Went for the first time a few days ago. The store is laid out by cuisine type--I think I found an Asian section, Mexican section and American foods section. They also have lots of varied produce. So if you are looking for something like cookies, just make sure you go to the correct area for the food you want. I went to specifically find the makings of a Thai curry. The only ingredient that I did NOT find that I normally look for when cooking Thai are kaffir lime leaves. I did find Thai Basil and various curry pastes though. I also did not see dried boba pearls (the kind sold separately from drink mixes). A note on the produce--it looks like they might buy second run items to cut costs--so some veggie packs had a spoiled item in them. Just something to keep in mind. I did think most prices were reasonable.

This review is not for the grocery store; 5 stars WELL deserved by the pharmacy team and pharmacists who always go out of their way to help us. We transferred to this pharmacy after a horrible experience using Walgreens as our pharmacy for two years. The staff helped go above and beyond to get all of my wife and my prescriptions transferred over with very little headache nor any issues. On one occasion, the pharmacist really showed his empathy and care for his patients when I needed a miracle to get my wife's important meds: I work in Bellevue M-F 9-6PM. The pharmacy is open 9-7PM and closes early on Sat/closed Sun. Because I had missed the opportunity to pickup the Sat previous, that next week on Monday, I called the pharmacist and asked what options we had if I could not make it in to pick up my wife's meds before they closed that night. He asked what time I would be arriving home from work and I replied "7:15, according to Waze & traffic." He told me "this one occasion, I'd be happy to wait up for ya so long as you get here by 7:15. At 7:16, I'm leaving." I race home as quickly as I can and manage to arrive at about 10 after 7. People who go out of their way to help others so routinely are 100% the reason why we instantly knew this pharmacy treated its patients with dignity, respect and always strive to help when it counts! Walgreens (also on Pacific Ave) has so many patients and little patience for anyone. They're rude and whenever I had questions or concerns, they were 99% of the time either not giving me their full attention or rushing me through checkout quickly. You won't find any of that at Parkland Marketplace Pharmacy, though! Just friendly staff who are knowledgeable and supportive of our needs. HIGHLY recommend, if you're looking for a new pharmacy, come here and you'll be pleasantly surprised!

Love how this store is just a two-mile drive from where I live! I've never had a bad experience (so far) at this branch. I always seem to find what I need and the cashiers are always polite. The deals that you'll get from here, like 78 cents for large lemons, really great quality cabbages, and delicious plantains are only a few of the many good things about this place. They really try their best to accommodate everyone's culture because I can see items and delicacies from different countries. We sometimes get our kimchi here if we don't want to drive to an HMart or Korean store. The vegetables that we often use in our dishes can be found here almost all the time. Today, I got 5 pieces of pompano for $24, which is always expensive at a Filipino seafood supermarket or other Asian supermarkets. What a steal.
