Mock Meat

Lots of frozen vegan meat in aisle 10. Common flavors like chicken, but also uncommon (in USA) like cuttlefish.

Pros: variety

Cons: a lot of the produce is wrapped in plastic

Vegan Options!

Fubonn is the largest Asian shopping center in Oregon, & I appreciate the abundance of vegan-friendly options (most of which are canned, frozen, or shelf-stable). The produce is consistently lacking compared to other supermarkets, & many of the more unique vegan options are highly processed & high in sodium. I enjoy visiting, but don't go very often as we simply have better places to shop for healthy vegan options.

Excellent grocery selection

I mean can we talk about the price of veggies here? High quality big variety low price = v happy me. Also they’ve got a very impressive verisoy selection in the vegan section if you’re into that.

Awful smell, rotten sketchy food

You can smell this place before you even enter, and not in a good way. Many expired and moldy food items on the shelves. Sometimes you’ll even find open packages.

best prices on hard to find ingredients

Between the mushrooms, dumplings, sauces, and mock meats, I'm in heaven, but there's a lot more to find in this massive store.

Good for when you need to stock up

This is a huge Asian supermarket. Yes, it reeks of fish, but when you get past that, it's also a treasure trove. I find pea shoots, various greens that I may or may not have tried before (I'm trying gai choy this time, should be good, and if you've never tried yu choy stir fried with lemon grass tofu then you're missing out), jackfruit, coconut milk, huge bags of whatever variety of rice I want for a fraction of what regular supermarkets want to charge, fresh tofu from local kitchens, all the fresh AND dried noodles I could possibly want, fresh herbs, dry spices, all kinds of sauces (check the labels, there are lots of vegan curry pastes), mushrooms, and I haven't even gotten to the section with the frozen and freeze dried vegan mock meats. I've found mock crab, shrimp, duck, several flavors of chicken, beef, pork, ham, and more in various permutations, and they're all vegan. A lot of the kinds I've tried are pretty good, too.

Tip: Go on a weeknight, not a weekend. It will be less crowded and the shelves will be better stocked. I make a trip here once a month and it's worth the trek.

Pros: Selection, Great prices, Lots of new things to try

Cons: Smells like fish, Often disheveled

good for a few raw/vegan essentials

I go to fubon to get the cheapest young thai coconuts in town (usually between $1.29-$1.79)
also frozen Durian
baby bananas (not organic, but a fun treat)
unusual fruits like rombutons and lychees, and sometimes they have huge cheap papayas
and before the Fukashima craziness I would buy seaweed from there too.
sometimes they also have good deals on big bags of cashews in the restaurant supply aisle,
oh and they have organic Maitake mushrooms too!
thats about all I get there but it is worth the trip every now and then even.

Smells like dead fish

Really, it reeks of dead fish. They have an amazing selection of hard to find veggies and a huge selection of Asian food and mock meats (most are not vegan though), but it's hard for me to physically be in the store. I go once or twice a year and rush through holding my breath.

Pros: cheap, hard to find veggies

Cons: smells like dead fish

good for specific ingredients

fubonn is a little out of the way if you live close in, but it's definitely worth a trip every so often to stock up on some really cheap essential ingredients. if you buy foods like tofu, coconut milk, agar, miso, curry paste, anything relegated to the asian section of a natural foods store, you will find it at fubonn for MUCH, MUCH cheaper. a can of coconut milk for 85 cents is hard to beat!

Pros: cheap, huge variety of foods

Cons: very fishy-smelling
