"The name said Oriental Market. I was in need of some soy sauce for my Chinese food. The Yelp reviews were favorable, although I will admit they were suspiciously free of soy sauce. But it was the only thing I found nearby that seemed even vaguely close. So I went, and sure enough, the place is all middle eastern food! So this big, broad guy appeared and welcomed me kindly to his store. He had the best attitude of any grocer I 've ever met. He was welcoming. Charming. And so I was apologetic. 'I know you probably don 't have this ... ' 'Please, ask away, anything I can do for you as a customer ' 'but do you have any soy sauce, being an oriental market and all? ' The poor chap was crestfallen. Alas, no, he did not. But, he brightened up, I can tell you how to get to the only one nearby. He rattled off an intimidating set of directions, but because I always forget directions the moment I hear them, I asked him for the name. 'Pekin restaurant, ' he said, letting the name go with a tinge of sadness. I could tell he felt that he was passing me, his valued customer and friend, to an institution that would probably not live up to my expectations. As a consolation prize I ordered some baklava. It was only $1.50 a piece, and was as delicious as any I have ever had. (I am enjoying the last of it as I write this. I went to the Pekin market. You will find my review of it elsewhere. But the experience I will never forget is the one I had here at Oriental Bakery. I guarantee I will come back, for the Baklava if nothing else. I received five-star treatment here, but I have to deduct one for it being the Oriental Market that, well, wasn 't actually one ... LOL."
