Ocean Garden is an Asian market located in the Swillburg portion of the South Wedge. It stocks mostly Cantonese and South East Asian groceries. They also stock plenty of fresh vegetables and meats at very reasonable prices. Comparable to Lee's Oriental Food.
This little place is booming. It's located right behind The Cinema, with parking adjacent, off-street, and also immediately on South Clinton Avenue along its stretch of boutique shopping and dining. A few Vietnamese shops have set up nearby; perhaps this could be Rochester's Little Vietnam.

2009-08-27 17:35:04 This is my favorite asian market. They have a really nice fresh veggie section and the best Noodle selection I have ever seen. Forget Maruchan and Nissin Ramen. They also have fresh whole fish and sharks on ice. It's a badass little shop. —WindyPig
2009-10-08 13:58:58 I stopped by Ocean Garden yesterday and they were closed. I saw two huge dumpsters in front of the store along with several trucks that looked as though they had to do with fire damage repair. —SteveBuck
2009-10-08 20:15:04 We saw on the news that there was a fire on the second floor, expect they will be closed for a while —DottieHoffmann

2011-02-14 00:53:04 Tiny, tiny aisles and no one there ever seems to know English. Items seem well priced and I have seen some relatively fresh produce here. I recommend going here only if you know exactly what you want (and exactly where it lives on the tightly packed shelves). Please note that the last time I went, they only accepted cash. —OneLove
2012-01-01 13:18:56 I had promised I'd bring a dish for a party and realized I was out of galanga root! Major emergency. I knew I could count on Ocean Garden. Although they didn't have fresh that day they did have frozen galanga. The young man there who speaks English showed me where to find it. He's great. —JonGreenbaum
