    I understand that there is a fairly large Vietnamese community in and around Glendale Heights, so, a priori there must be Vietnamese grocers there, but Google and the intertubez haven't produced for me. I'm looking for a place that would have a nice selection of herbs for a table salad, like Tai Nam... I love Argyle, but sometimes it's a bit too hard to get to from Oak Park. Where are the grocers in Glendale?

    Thanks

    There is one at Schmale and Geneva, next to the Home Depot and the auto supply place. I have no idea the name but it faces Schmale and is in the NE corner strip mall. Their produce selection is pretty small but hopefully you'll find what you need.

    From Oak Park you're closer to the bigish Asian food market at 83 and Ogden (I always call is DiHo but it's called Fresh something these days).

    Are you looking for something in particular?

    I know of Fresh Market | DiHo and they have rice paper and fish sauce, but their produce section is generally fairly sad looking and expensive to boot.

    What I'm looking for is a selection of herbs - rau ram (Vietnamese coriander), tia to (red perilla), hung cay (spicy mint) - banana blossoms, la lot leaves, finger chilis, etc...

    Thanks

    Thank you. Will have to check it out. This is why I love this forum. When I can't make it Viet Hoa, it's good to know about these closer options.
