Ethnic food and dining options will get a boost this fall with the opening of Asian City in West Jordan.
Officials with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage said today they are planning the Asian food, retail and shopping complex at 1653 W. 9000 South in West Jordan's River Point Plaza.
The building, previously an Albertson's supermarket, will include 50 stores and 10 food vendors. It is expected to open in early October. Customers will be able to find gifts, cultural items, home and party decorations, kitchen accessories, small appliances, clothes, cosmetic products and much more. There will also be an indoor farmer's market that will run each year from April to October. The food court will include approximately 10 eateries offering Taiwanese traditional food, pearl tea, coffee and beverages, a Hong Kong/Cantonese style bakery, Vietnamese pho and sandwiches, a Korean tofu house, Japanese sushi and udon noodles, Thai and Indian food, as well as other special Chinese treats. Eugene Han, who also owns Ocean Mart in Sandy and the former Super China Market in Salt Lake City, said the Asian City concept was created in response to the growing demand by both the Asian ethnic community and general residents of the greater Salt Lake area for Asian food, grocery and specialty products.
