I gotcha, in my case i go to 99 Ranch mostly for convenience because MT is just too far for me. Most of the stuff i get they usually have in stock at good prices, in particular their selection of fresh mushrooms is pretty excellent and fairly affordable (i always get a big ol bag of shiitake). But they don’t have everything, or sometimes might not have the exact thing i’m needing so i’ll hit up either Han Yang market right down the street or there’s a Honk Kong market on research that has some misc Chinese things i can’t find elsewhere.
There’s also a pretty good Indian market, because it’s also on the north side i haven’t been in a couple of years but i really liked it when i lived nearby. It’s Man Pasand Supermarket. Which reminds me i need to get back into exploring more Indian cuisine 
Really veered off topic here lol
