A good place to shop for Asian groceries. We get Thai basil, many other Thai special grocery items here which we don't find anywhere else. It's maintained very clean. They have a small juice bar inside where they offer Thai teas, and desserts. We tried non diary bubble tea and it was yum.

Clean and lots of unique stuffs that you don’t find anywhere else in Connecticut. This store mainly focuses on Thai groceries but also has Japanese/Korean groceries plus snacks and cute imported merchandises. The Whale Tea is also inside the store. This store is frequently replacing/moving furnitures around and sometimes even a few shelves around. At one point they did an extensive renovation. Photos you see from all of these reviewers may look different from one another but it's all from the same place. I love the presentation and arrangement of this store. It feels like a mini Japanese market place store (or even mini H Mart) where everything are nicely and neatly presented and shelved. This is so far the prettiest and cleanest Asian store I had seen in Connecticut.Side note: Beware of one middle age lady behind The Whale Tea is grumpy and she has a bit attitude problem. Skip her and use the Kiosk to order just to get in and get out. The young Whale Tea staffs in Milford next to G-Mart are much friendlier and pleasant to deal with.

Nice, organized, and clean store. Love that it has boba stand and a place to heat up the instant noodle. Also has places to seat and enjoy your food or just hangout.

Really like this store. They have a wide selection of coconut milk and other thai products, including sheets of rice noodles. I have come here for hard to find items at other stores.

This small market in East Haven exceeded my expectations. It had such a cute interior and an entire plushy section! There was also a variety of products I can't find at other Asian stores in CT like Vietnamese Chocopies. Their selection of produce is small, but I appreciate the range of dry and frozen goods. There is also a ramen station ($2) like the ones in convenience stores in Korea! I came specifically to try the egg waffle ice cream from Whale Tea and it was well worth the $7.50. While the egg waffle wasn't hot, it still had a good texture and I actually liked that it wasn't warm enough to melt the ice cream and become soggy. The matcha ice cream itself also had a good flavor.
