Our Story
Built from a love of Asian food—and a community that wanted more.
Little Bit Asian Market began with a simple observation: finding authentic Asian ingredients on Louisiana’s Northshore often meant long drives or settling for missing items. We’re starting with convenient preorders and local pickups serving Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville, Abita Springs, and surrounding Northshore communities—with a long-term goal of opening a brick-and-mortar Asian grocery store closer to home.
Why We Started
Authentic ingredients should feel accessible—not hours away.
What began as a way to bring pantry staples and hard-to-find favorites closer is growing into a community-driven Asian grocery.
Every preorder helps us learn what local shoppers value most.
