With an expanded store, H Mart has plenty of Asian produce and other foodstuffs for all of your cooking needs. But if you made the mistake of grocery shopping while hungry, the food counter where you can order Korean tofu stew, fried chicken wings and bibimbap will quell those hunger pains and maybe help keep those impulse Pocky and mochi purchases at bay (probably not, but a day that includes Pocky and Korean food is a win in our book).

Sushi lovers pack the tiny counter and eat-in area at the back of this traditional Japanese grocery store. You can order from the vast menu, but if you’re in a hurry, there are plenty of options in the to-go case by the cashiers.

Some of the best Thai food in town is served at the Midwest Buddhist Meditation Center’s Sunday market. The market features vendors selling flavorful dishes such as green papaya salad, which they make on the spot, and pad krapow (basil chicken).

Gas station food doesn’t have to be empty calories. Despite its modest surroundings, Las Cazeulas in Michigan-Martin dishes up an expansive menu, featuring favorites such as tacos, burritos, and tortas as well as daily specials.

Two words: dollar tacos. On Tuesdays, Los Arcos Market slings tacos for a buck. But it’s still worth coming even if it’s not a Tuesday. Traditional taco toppings include carne asada, al pastor, and chorizo. Other offerings include tortas and quesadillas. Get your grocery shopping and taco fix all in one spot.

Gas station food typically brings to mind images of not so appetizing hot dogs (which may or may not have been turning on that roller for several hours), nachos with cheese product and sugar bombs. This aptly named Dearborn gas station burger stand will help you fill up your belly while you fuel up your ride. The creative burger offerings include Ali's Notch Yo Burger (with grilled jalapeños and onions, beef bacon, American cheese, Swiss, pepper Jack, nacho cheese, Nacho Doritos, mayo and hot sauce, lettuce and tomato on a toasted onion bun).
