Love that they have these little Teso locations around the city! This one has been here for a several years and is very similar in format to the convenience stores in East Asia (which are the bomb you could survive on their products--though I will save this for a diff review). The main difference compared to Asia is this mini mart doesn't carry much fresh prepared food, but they do carry basically everything else. You can pick up Asian drinks and packaged snacks, frozen food, a smallish variety of chilled drinks and ready-to-eat desserts, toiletries, makeup and beauty, shower and bath products, over-the-counter meds, ramen, cooking condiments and utensils, basic kitchen and home items. Super convenient if you live in the area. Came by today to pick up a 3-pack of coffee jello $3.75--this is basically sweetened coffee jello in a cup that comes with a little single serving creamer that you can pour over it. There's almost always a short line to check out, though it usually moves pretty quickly. Open from 11am to 8:30 or 9pm daily depending on the day.
A cute little shop that I saw while walking around the city so I decided to pop in. It's very cleaned and organized on the inside and they had a huge selection of Japanese goods. From warm foods, grab and gos, frozen goods, chips, household items, candies, and cute little trinkets. Such a great variety to browse through! In the front of the store I saw they had those Japanese fruit sandwiches I have been dying to try so I got the mixed fruit one. It was very good! I believe the bread is a milk bread so it was very fluffy and soft, despite being refrigerated and exposed to the cream, it was not even soggy. The fruit was sweet and the cream complemented it perfectly. I would recommend giving this a try! And it was around 4 dollars so a pretty good deal! The service was quick and efficient too, I was in and out in around 10 minutes total (counting my browsing)
I regretfully didn't get any photos cus this place was pretty packed (think 10 people in a pretty small space), but I will definitely check this place out again when I go back to Chinatown. Visited here with a friend who enjoys Chinese culture and snacks, as does her Chinese boyfriend. Would have never thought to go in otherwise. Very cool variety of Chinese and Asian snacks, like Doritos in BBQ flavor as well as other really interesting and delicious looking flavored potato chips. Fizzy, fruity flavored sodas. Quirky candies. Cookies, crackers. Fun Asian characters that take you out of the ordinary, boring palm-colored world. Other cool items like scented lotions, chapsticks, toiletries. Looking forward to checking it out again! There is a large store further uptown.
Great selection of quality products at reasonable prices. It's a must stop when we visit NYC. Because we don't live in the area we stock up on toiletries, candy and other items to last until we return.
small mini Teso that have a few things to grab if you in the area of china town. if not china town the other ones are too far so this location comes in handy.
My children want to stop in here and get a whole lot of snacks along with other items they sold in this store. I happened to see this Lychee soda I once had from this Hybiachi restaurant I visited. My kids knew what they wanted and for the life of me I couldn't tell you what they were. I do know that my middle one brought the most. She had mochi candy, soda, and ramen noodles of some other kind I have not seen. I wanted to buy a pack of chop sticks but forgot we have a whole pack at home because my children love to eat a lot of Asian cuisine. I think this store was pretty cool for what it was . Next time I will bring an ice box so we can take some of the frozen treats home. Thumbs up and Happy Yelping!
Cute little shop. All things Japanese. If you're in the area, must stop by. Delicious snacks. All the ramen you can think of. No lines if you come at the right time.
I always have go into Teso every time I'm near one. This location was pretty small (hence the name) but still had a good variety of Japanese goods. I bought my favorite hair dye at a reasonable price and also found the viral peach ice cream I've been looking for for months! (It was delicious, by the way.)
This is small compared to the other Teso that I saw in pictures though there are so many cute items and various flavors. Small table figurines that feature Tigers to Harry Potter, various KitKat flavors, different small size Lays flavors that you don't typically see in a supermarket. It's difficult to walk out of the store without buying anything. It wasn't too crowded the evening I went through I heard from my friend that it can get packed in here. I have to check out the store again when I have more time. If you want unique cute items come here and take a look.
Passed by Teso Mini and decided to check it out. Very cute and crowded. Get all of your favorite Japanese snacks and ramen. I went looking for my favorite pudding (not there but had the 3-pack pudding next to the coffee jelly). Very popular and everyone seem to enjoy the shop. I saw this cute coffee drink with one of my favorite anime One Piece on it.
