My visit to the Hmong International Market on Como Avenue in St. Paul, MN on May 18, 2013. I prefer this Hmong Market over Hmong Village because there's more fresh veggies and the farmer's market has more variety. I can never find good parking at Hmong Village so it is a big hassle to drive over to that market. Hmong International Market always seems to have fresher veggies which is an important factor for me when I visit.
Hmong International Market on Como Ave
- great selection of fresh produce, herbs, plants
- love their nab vam, bubble tea, papaya salad
- like their selections in custom made hmong clothes and hmong clothes
- like the indoor and outdoor shops
Hmong Village by Phalen Lake
- newer building
- more shops
- bad food vending area, every time I eat here I get sick or I get spoiled food, I've tried all the food vendors here. It's a hit or miss with food there.
- bad parking, you literally have to be a parking shark to get a spot

Miss that place, I only go to Minnesota once a year but all that hmong stuff is just so comforting....

@DailyBread2007 11 лет назад

Definitely miss MN, and how easy it is I get whatever you want from the stores an flea markets! Love it!

@ChristoMoua 11 лет назад

I would love to go there soon! I think my sister lives like walking distance from it. It's been 6 years since I went to MN and where I grew up no one knows about Hmong people so the environment is very interesting to me. All the food looks sooooooo good!!!!! I'll be back one day to eat everything!!! Lol...

It looks like heaven, Miss Annie. Southeast Asian cuisines are my absolute favorite! Some of those hot dishes has my mouth watering. Blessings, my friend! Michael

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

It's an interesting adventure, go visit someday!

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

Yes, it's nice to be among fellow hmong

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

Thanks

@zero52one 10 лет назад

This is one thing that I miss MN

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

Not sure what you are trying to accuse me of being a liar. I don't live in MN and when I do visit, the herbs are not available at Hmong Village.

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

I try to travel as much as I can

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

Yes, Michele back when you and I went to MN together this place didn't exist. :-)

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

I like fresh veggies so I go where I have more selection. I do visit Hmong Village too but their parking is very bad and all the food vendors I have been disappointed. I've had so much bad food experiences at Hmong Village I no longer bother buying food from there.

@OwlCityLove13 10 лет назад

I love this place! I live in Mn so I have the advantage lol

@eily03 11 лет назад

Wow I would love to go there one day!

@xstraightedgefishingx 9 лет назад

Hmong village has too many food venders, yet it's easier to find more variety when you go to Hmong Village. Still, I went to Hmong Town for the first time in 5 years and it hasn't changed one bit.

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

Hope you make it back there!

@lindapachia101 11 лет назад

I still love Hmong Village more! Because it's more clean and because my uncle's own the place.

@LADYDRVN 11 лет назад

Sometimes I wish I lived in Minnesota, then again, maybe our Hmong people in PA should open up their own market here locally.

@2009SUJU 10 лет назад

Also known as the flea market. This is a MUST visit place cause the foods delicious here!

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

I have visited Hmong Village.

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

Thanks for the tip

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

I liked Coco's Papaya. I think that's the name

@niamtxiv 11 лет назад

Hmmmmm, looks like every typical Hmong stores I go to. lol

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

Not sure if Texas has anything like this. Maybe try the asian super markets

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

Yes

@msstephaniexiong 11 лет назад

wow, looks so good.

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

Hope you can give them some suggestions to improve their parking and have their food quality checks. I've eaten there over 10 times and all ten times I've gotten really sucky hmong food. I stopped going to hmong village because of this very reason. Thanks.

The Hmong village has expanded their parking. The person I go to for their Pho has now moved out and looking for a new location in Saint Paul. I'm keeping a eye out for "2 wives kitchen". This is the place that has the awesome food. They moved out because they were located in the corner and was not getting enough business.

@Beautifullmama 11 лет назад

I want to go there some day. Looks so fun! =)

@Lorloveletters 10 лет назад

I would really like to visit or shop/eat there!

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

Hope you get to go there

@HMGDSM 11 лет назад

You should visit Hmong Village. It's also in St. Paul but much, much bigger!

@100newkid 9 лет назад

the only reason why I would live in St. Paul or Minn.... I miss hmong food! (lives waaaaaay down south.)

@aligorzeimet4029 8 лет назад

+100newkid If you can survive the winter, you'd love it here.

@MangoTree651 11 лет назад

PA cool I got a brother that lives in Allentown, I think Lehigh valley or something. Didn't know there were more hmong. I believed he once said he met a few Hmong L.D.S but that was it. How many families or is it a bunch?

@MrSam88vue 11 лет назад

Lucky you, California a few months ago now St . Paul

@Queenliiivv 11 лет назад

@siheuryang 10 лет назад

Is there something similar to this or better in Cali? I will be traveling there soon.

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

Lucky you! We don't get this where I live.

@CoffeeKiller_ 11 лет назад

@priscillavang8750 11 лет назад

Yes Coco Island make the best papaya. That is the only place I would get papaya.

@RNYwillSaveMyLife 11 лет назад

I live in the twin cities, which vendor in the HMONG INTERNATIONAL MARKET do you recommend to buy their fresh green papaya salad?

@missyingster 10 лет назад

at 1:42, what is that packet of brown yellow and green? Do you know how to make it???

@MangoTree651 11 лет назад

Hmong Village has its pros and cons. It is more modern feeling and cleaner than Comos. Cons in my opinion include the countless tenants selling the same products food and other. This will only hurt the tenants and won't contribute to their success.If they modeled their establishment like the American shopping malls then theyd do better. With the exception of a few creative tenants they are offering the same things. You can see some businesses have closed also.

@kialee1257 10 лет назад

I came to MN Oct 2007 and I visit there it was nice to see a hmong flea market. I would love to come back and visit. I'm frm cali

@maikovang8473 11 лет назад

@maryangnk 11 лет назад

do you know how to make the rice thats stuffed like the sausage?

@kellymoua4999 11 лет назад

can you cook a stuffed chicken wing recipe

@cheess330 11 лет назад

Definitely Coco's Island

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

MN is great but California is better. California has the best fresh veggies year round and also the price is much cheaper.

@MsMickeyL 11 лет назад

Slow down a bit... Moving to fast.

@hmongfood 11 лет назад

:-)

@MangoTree651 11 лет назад

Hey you said you couldn't get the herbs for the chicken soup but you frequent these establishments, unless you life on an island and just visit occasionally. Good cook but terrible liar. LOL.

@MangoTree651 11 лет назад

Your uncle and partners need to put forth a better business plan. They need bigger anchor stores to draw the little ones in. Vacant spots arent attractive to customers. He should market towards other races also. Especially the hispanic or somali community which is growing in minnesota and call the place International Market/World Village. That way it receives a broader target market. More walks of life more money spent. Somebody let the owners know before this places bankrupts.
