No they don't really speak English here. I wouldn't expect them to it's an Asian market. However every time I've needed help finding something and shown them a picture an employee has led me straight to it and been as friendly as they could with the language barrier. The seafood is AMAZING and their squid is pretty good. Gotten a lot of their thin sliced meats and produce and never been disappointed. Also, do yourself a favor and go to the bubble tea shop inside. A large bubble milk tea with coffee jelly (trust me the combo is great) is $5.75 and they're super nice and ready quickly and they don't skimp on boba or the other toppings. I love just walking around. You can smell the seafood department but they have open air whole fish displays so it's to be expected. It's all clean and fresh you'll catch them cleaning things throughout the day. Whole fish just smells fishy obviously.
My husband and I went to the seafood section to get crab. The the person cutting the fish looked at my husband then me for a good second. My husband is black. We stood there 30 min waiting for out turn. He kept skipping over us. Horrible service and he kept looking at me. We left. Made us feel like we were being discriminated
