Hanna & Tiger’s Asian Mart 小卖部 (Sweetwater)
Located at 115 SW 107th Ave, this location is the beloved "Sweetwater original." Nestled right across from the Florida International University (FIU) campus, it serves as the ultimate high-energy "convenience hub" for students and local foodies. While its sister locations in Coral Gables and South Miami offer a more expansive boutique experience, the Sweetwater branch is prized for its dense, curated selection and its direct connection to Good Chef Restaurant.
The Sweetwater Highlights
The "小卖部" (Xiao Mai Bu) Soul: The name literally translates to "small shop" or "canteen," reflecting its role as a nostalgic, friendly neighborhood spot. It captures the vibe of a traditional Asian convenience store—packed floor-to-ceiling with trending treats and daily essentials.
Connected to Good Chef: Uniquely, this market is physically attached to Good Chef, one of Miami’s most authentic Chinese restaurants. You can shop for groceries and then step through the door for a sit-down meal of hand-pulled noodles or authentic Szechuan dishes.
The "Viral" Snack Wall: If you've seen a trendy snack on social media—like the fruit-shaped mango ice creams that taste exactly like the real thing, or "prawns in abalone sauce" flavored Lays—this is where you’ll find them. They excel at stocking limited-edition Asian flavors of Western brands (Oreo, KitKat, Fanta) that aren't available anywhere else in Miami.
Hot Pot & Dumpling HQ: Despite its compact size, it features a robust freezer section dedicated to high-quality frozen dumplings, bao buns, and thinly sliced meats specifically for Hot Pot. It’s the "cheat code" for FIU students looking to host a gourmet dorm-room dinner.
Student-Centric Convenience: Because of its proximity to the university, the store focuses on "quick-grab" culture. You’ll find a wide array of high-end instant ramens, onigiri, and unique bottled teas that make for a perfect study-break fuel.
Why It’s Unique
Hanna & Tiger’s Sweetwater is defined by its "Boutique-Dense" charm. It manages to squeeze a massive variety of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean imports into a footprint that feels intimate rather than overwhelming. It is uniquely scannable; unlike a massive supermarket where you might wander for an hour, you can find the exact brand of Lao Gan Ma chili crisp or Kewpie mayo you need in seconds. It’s a place of discovery where every visit yields a new "treasure" from across the Pacific.
Insider Tip: Parking in this specific plaza can be tight during peak lunch and dinner hours due to the popularity of Good Chef. If you're just popping in for snacks, try to go during mid-afternoon. Also, keep an eye on the ready-to-eat corner—the gyoza and onigiri are some of the freshest in the area and sell out quickly!
