Perfect timing for Shark Week! We have a number of Asian grocery stores in our area...truly hidden gems as you can find so much that's far more healthier than our American grocery stores! Well done.

Lotte Mart is like the Walmart/Publix/Target of Korea (in my American opinion). I wonder if they're related, nice to see in Central FL.

Tampa Jay-Thank you for this video. I was so excited to see that you were filming/reviewing Korean street food. I have recently discovered Topokki and have made it several times. I have also discovered Okonomiyaki(a Japanese vegetable pancake) which I make weekly. As a vegetarian, Cris might enjoy this. I personally like to add a protein to mine(shrimp, chicken, pork or beef). Shrimp is my go to favorite add in😋

@TampaJay honestly I don't recall as they change restaurants. There used to be a filipino restaurant there we loved but it's gone. Definitely worth the trip. Right on 50 and then you could explore Mills 50 section. We tried the filipino ice cream shop and it was amazing. That actually might be multiple videos, 😆

Hey Tampa Jay, Thank you for showing us this place. I never knew that place was here in Tampa. There are 3 places on Gunn Hwy you can also check out called ISEKAI Japanese foods Bubba tea's and sushi, and many more their new and the guy who runs or owns the place is name Chris. The other is White Buffalo Cafè they're like Starbucks. They are great food and drinks. Clearwater has a Korean Barbecue, all you can eat, you grab what you want off the Conveyor belt that goes around and you cook it at your table that has 4 eyes to cook on right upfront of you, you can also grab desert to, and the waitress or waiter brings you your trey of meat that you order and your soup juice that you order and drink, they bring them to your table. You & Christs Girl, she try these places and vlog them, I would love to see them on your vlogs. Again, thank you for sharing. Blessings 🤍🙌🏽🙏🏽🕊 (Dana) Dee Trice-Williams
