I was very impressed with Lucky Oriental Market. I recently moved here for a job relocation and was a little weary of what kind of good asian markets I'd find out in North Charleston. I was happy to find Lucky Oriental Market mainly because they carried a lot of houseware items that helped me get situated with my new home. I lost a lot of cutlery and dishware during a recent divorce and during my move so I was in real need of a whole kitchen make-over. Thankfully the little mini-mart-esque store had a lot to offer. The rice was the cheapest I've seen and I was again impressed by the wide variety of items the store had for sale. I'd recommend to co-workers and anyone else I meet who is in need of good asian cuisine ingredients or, like me, household items (I even bought batteries there!)?

Found out the market has a website:
luckyorientalcharleston(dot)com
pretty atypical for an asian store...
Pros: Excellent variety, CHEAP, nice owner
Cons: store is packed so can be difficult to find things
