Traverse Asian Market

Specialty Shops & Antiques · Traverse City, MI

Tucked into a strip mall on South Airport Road, Traverse Asian Market has quietly become Grand Traverse County's go-to spot for authentic Asian ingredients and hard-to-find specialty items. Owner Jenny Chen opened the market in 2018 after moving from California, frustrated by the lack of quality Asian groceries in northern Michigan. Her shelves overflow with fresh produce you won't find elsewhere - from Thai basil to Korean pears - plus an impressive collection of sauces, noodles, and frozen dumplings that keep local restaurant chefs and home cooks coming back weekly.
