I recently visited Nam Thanh for the first time, despite having worked in village east for a number of years at one time. I was actually impressed! I came there to try to find my favorite Chinese Green Tea, but Couldn't so I poked around there, and unlike most Asian markets, I wasn't yelled at to buy something, or pushed out of the store for staying too long. They actually asked if they could help and I told the guy that I was looking for something in particular and they didn't have it. I didn't leave empty handed, I felt like I had to buy something. If you like soy milk, it's a good place to get it cheap! Please be patient with the older people there though, their English isn't that good, but usually they have a younger man working there that speaks English perfectly. The store is clean, too, unlike many Asian markets. I was really impressed with the tidinesses of the place, but not too impressed with the selection of stuff, which mostly seemed Vietnamese related, hardly any Chinese or Japanese products.
