Best ethnic grocer: Lotte Plaza Market

Whether it's the abundance of fresh produce, the extensive fish and meats or the specialty Asian groceries and goods, the Catonsville location of Lotte Plaza Market is a destination for international foods and goods. And while the nearby Ellicott City location boasts one of the region's largest assortments of Eastern Asian foods, the Catonsville store has tremendous offerings from Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The selection of halal-certified meats is particularly impressive.
