You're invited to the grand opening celebration of Assi Natural Market! On Thursday, March 28 at 9:00am, the market will open its first Orange County location Woodbridge Village Center in Irvine.
The event will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony along with a dedication by Mayor Steven Choi and Neda Zaengle, president of Irvine Public Schools Foundation. Enjoy live entertainment and plenty of fabulous product giveaways, including the ability to enter to win a brand new Kia vehicle and household appliances such as rice cookers.* Further, join us for the
"Taste of Assi" to sample foods and products from more than 30 vendors for the entire grand opening month. Look for tasty samples of shumai dumplings, donburi rice bowls, miso soup, tofu and chips.
Hailed by Los Angeles Times and Orange County Register as "the Whole Foods of Ethnic Supermarkets," the store features an array of Asian and American products, including: organic produce, organic meats (including Kobe-certified and Wagyu beef, Kurobuta pork and free-range Jidori chicken), seafood, boutique wines, and specialty Asian spirits. Food-lovers and avid home-cooks can also look forward to more than 200 different kinds of frozen dumplings, 40 kinds of housemade kimchi, 18 kinds of in-house marinated meats, a shabu-shabu section with meats sliced-to-order and even ready-to-cook hotpot packages with ingredients for the perfect at-home shabu-shabu meal.
Assi Natural Market will also feature a bakery with a food court featuring prepared goods such as made-to-order sushi, kimbap and even Italian and American fare - perfect for those wanting to grab lunch on-the-go.
