Whether you\u2019re craving fresh herbs for Vietnamese pho, authentic Korean kimchi, or specialty spices from Thailand, you\u2019ll find it here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of pho, I had one of the best bowls of my life right here in Nishi-Kawaguchi! The broth was rich, the noodles perfectly chewy, and the fresh herbs on top added the perfect touch.
