about agg

agg the asian grocery guide is an editorial project focused on documenting and organizing Asian grocery markets with clarity, accuracy, and restraint.

The goal is simple: to make it easier to find markets that are worth visiting.

agg is built for people who care about where they shop and want information that is practical, current, and grounded in place.

what this site is

agg is a curated guide to Asian grocery markets across the United States.

City pages are designed as editorial hubs that help people orient themselves quickly. Listings focus on shopping flow, location context, and what makes each market distinct, rather than attempting to catalog everything or compare stores against one another.

Information is structured to support real decisions — where to go, what to expect, and why a market might be relevant — whether you’re shopping locally or planning ahead.

what this site is not

agg is not a crowdsourced review platform, a ranking site, or a comprehensive directory.

Markets are not scored, rated, or compared. Inclusion does not imply endorsement, and absence does not imply judgment. agg does not aim to be exhaustive, and it does not attempt to represent every store equally.

The focus is clarity over volume, and usefulness over scale.

how the project is maintained

agg is maintained through a combination of editorial review, direct submissions, and periodic updates.

Information is added deliberately rather than automatically. Submissions are reviewed for accuracy, relevance, and clarity before being published.

Updates prioritize correctness over speed, and consistency over growth.
