Aritaum - Buena Park

I used to go here, the ladies kept changing but were overall nice. They discontinued IOPE foundation compact I used to use... too bad..

They carry the usual Asian meats and vegetables to make traditional dishes. The meat selection is great they are fresh and can be bought in different sizes. The higher quality chunks of meat are more expensive, but it tastes better when cooked. This is my go to place for when we decide to cook shabu shabu as they have everything we need. The preferred meat for shabu shabu (they have chicken, beef, and shrimp) is soft and you get a lot in one serving. The leftovers can be refrigerated or stored in the freezer for a couple days. They have endless of noodles to use for both stir fry and soups. Some of the noodles comes with sauce packets which is great if you need an extra kick of flavor. The have many Asian vegetables all fresh with no discoloration and wilting on any of them. When certain Asian fruits are in season they always carry them and I suggests to check this place first for the best selection. Both fruits and vegetables are cheaper here than most American supermarkets. If you are looking for a quick sushi fix, they have great options here both fresh and delicious. They have samples of just about anything from potato chips to grilled meats. They sell small kitchen appliances such as hot pots, rice cookers, and grill sets. They are all a bit on the pricey side. There is no need to sign up for a membership to pay for the deals, they do offer a club card which if you accumulate enough points you get special deals. The parking spaces here are horrible they are tight and the lines are so narrow. If you drive a huge truck good luck in fitting into these spaces. You have to drive a few times to find a spot on a busy Sunday morning when everyone is doing there grocery shopping for the week. This is located in a plaza with other Asian stores and it is not visible when you are driving by. It is towards the back further away from street veiw. The inside is clean and organize, you can easily find items on the shelves with every item categorized correctly.

I only come here to shop meat. From that perspective I would give 5stars since I can find good quality of meat that I want.

Disappointed and scared to get cancer from eating the food. Now they served super hot tofu soup with plastic spoon. I will never come here again.
