We skipped some of the fishier stuff.
What We Skipped: With pho so cheap and easily accessible in its freshly made form around the Valley, it'd be silly to buy one of these huge boxes of instant Pho Ga. While pho is one of our favorite Vietnamese dishes, we also passed by the jarred tuna in soybean oil. It's actually probably pretty tasty, but visually we weren't interested due to the creepy marbled texture on the tuna flesh soaking in yellowish liquid. Lastly, we see very little reason to buy frozen seafood at Lee Lee, when they have so many great fresh options -- some still living.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this article was offensive and crapastic. I would think that writing for Chow Bella would be a dream job for a talented journalist, why hand it over to someone who's writing sucks so bad that just reading it makes you want to punch them in their big stupid close minded face?

What a pathetic excuse for an article. How about having someone who isn't a white person looking for food they've seen at Fry's review this place? Geez....

Interesting article , thanks for using such words as "weird" and "creepy" to describe items in a store that you are reviewing.

They really do have everything, was looking for jasmine extract all over the valley and they were the only place I found it and cheap.

My favorite product at Lee Lee's is the Pickled Lime Condiments!

Not as good a store as it use to be. Prices have went up and selection has gone down. I use to drive from the far east valley but no more. If I happen to be in the area I pick up a 50 lbs bag of rice.

The people selling the duck are gone now too. 

I have left my ethnic taste for the more affordable WinCo in mesa now.
