About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few months ago, a regular noticed something peculiar in the produce section of Viet-Wah Asian Food Market. Among the usual assortment of exotic fruits and vegetables sat a small, unlabeled jar filled with what looked like glittering coins. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover they were not coins but tiny, colorful candies shaped like lucky charms from Chinese New Year. Word quickly spread among locals, and soon everyone was stopping by Viet-Wah just for these mysterious treats. One day, a delivery driver found an even bigger jar hidden behind the bananas—it contained glow-in-the-dark fortune cookies! Turns out, the owner was having fun playing with customers' curiosity. The market became known as ‘the place where dreams come true—and sometimes, so do fortunes!’
2. A few weeks ago, an early morning delivery driver pulled up to the market’s back door. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something odd—one of the crates seemed heavier than usual. Curious, he opened it and found rows upon rows of tiny umbrellas instead of vegetables. Confused, he called out to his colleague inside: ‘Hey, check this out—we got a crate full of little umbrellas!’ They both laughed it off, thinking it was some prank or mistake. Later that day, as customers started arriving, one elderly lady asked for ‘those small umbrella things.’ Turns out she wanted them for her traditional Vietnamese soup. Everyone had a good laugh, and Viet-Wah became known for its unique stocking habits.
3. On foggy mornings, a delivery driver would pull up to the market's loading dock with an unusual cargo. Inside his truck were not just groceries but also mysterious packages wrapped in brown paper. One day, a regular customer asked the owner where those strange packages came from. With a twinkle in his eye, the owner replied, 'Oh, that's our secret ingredient for the special sauce.' The mystery deepened until one foggy evening when everyone heard a loud thud outside—the delivery driver had parked next to a tree instead of the dock. Since then, nobody ever questions what’s inside those packages anymore.
4. On foggy mornings, a delivery driver would pull up to the market's loading dock and notice an unusual shadowy figure moving among the shelves. Curious, he followed the silhouette to the back aisle where a friendly neighborhood cat was dozing on a box of dried noodles. The delivery driver laughed, thinking it must be ‘Viet-Wah’s secret mascot.’ From then on, whenever fog rolled in, customers joked that the market had hired a night watch-cat.
