Truong Thanh Chinese herbs and Asian food ingredients The area’s first Chinese herbalist, Xuong Mau Duong, and his family opened this store originally on 18th and Nicollet then moved to its present location at 25th and Nicollet 14 years ago. Still a family operation, Truong Thanh can be counted on for items such as fresh water chestnuts in season, fresh crabs and some of the best fresh greens in the area. It is one of the few stores that almost always has fresh, crisp watercress at a reasonable price. The store also has a wide range of canned and frozen foods, meat, fish and vegetables.
