Nam-Hai Oriental Food Market in Tulsa: hours, address, what to know

Nam Hai Oriental Food Market is an Asian grocery store at 11528 E 21st St in Tulsa, Oklahoma 74129, in the Universal Plaza 21 shopping center. Google Maps shows it open every day from 9 AM to 8 PM. Sources describe produce, frozen goods, sauces, snacks and a range of Asian, Hispanic, Caribbean and African foods.

What is Nam-Hai Oriental Food Market?

Nam-Hai Oriental Food Market is a grocery store in east Tulsa that sells Asian foods, and Google lists it in the category of Asian grocery store. A Tulsa Remote blog post on Asian American and Pacific Islander owned businesses calls it a long-standing part of Tulsa’s Asian grocery scene.

The word “oriental” is part of the store’s own name. This guide uses the name as the store writes it and otherwise says “Asian” for the food. The store sells to anyone who walks in, whether they cook Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese or other food at home or are only looking for an unfamiliar snack.

Where is Nam-Hai Oriental Food Market and how do you contact it?

The market is at 11528 E 21st St, Tulsa, OK 74129, inside the Universal Plaza 21 shopping center. The phone number is (918) 438-0166, and the store also has a Facebook page under the name NamHaiTulsa.

Parking is not described in any source this guide found. Shopping centers of this kind normally have a shared lot, but that is a general expectation, not a recorded fact about this plaza. The hours and location page has a map and the address in one place.

What are the opening hours?

Google Maps showed 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM on all seven days when it was read on 13 November 2026. That means the store is listed as open every day of the week, Sunday included, with no early closing day.

Only one source gave the hours, so treat them as likely but not guaranteed. Holiday hours are the usual exception for any grocery store. A short phone call to (918) 438-0166 settles it before a long drive. The guide rechecks the listing from time to time and shows the date it was last read.

What does Nam-Hai Oriental Food Market sell?

The sources describe fresh produce, frozen goods, sauces, condiments and snacks, with Asian, Hispanic, Caribbean and African foods on the shelves. Visitor reviews on Google add fresh and frozen seafood, kitchenware and gifts.

The guide’s own record of these items, kept on the menu page, groups them like this:

• Fresh produce: Asian vegetables and herbs, plus fruit and vegetables for other cuisines that a reviewer says some other markets do not carry.
• Seafood: whole fresh fish, and frozen shrimp and octopus mentioned by a reviewer.
• Frozen foods: a frozen section named by the Tulsa Remote blog.
• Sauces and condiments: Asian, Hispanic, Caribbean and African.
• Snacks and noodles: packaged snacks and dried or packaged noodles.
• Household: cookware, kitchen supplies and gift items.

Stock changes with deliveries and seasons, and no price list exists in any source. Nothing here is a promise that a particular product is on the shelf today.

How is Nam-Hai Oriental Food Market rated?

Google Maps showed a rating of 4.2 out of 5 from 2,755 reviews on 13 November 2026. That is a large number of reviews for a single grocery store, which suggests a steady stream of regular shoppers.

Reviews are opinions of individual visitors, so this guide does not quote them or treat them as proof of quality. Common themes in them include a wide selection, produce that other stores lack and narrow aisles. Google also shows about 1,200 photos on the listing, which gives a first look at the shop before a visit.

What should you know before a first visit?

A first visit goes best with a short list, a little extra time and an open mind about the aisles. Reviewers describe a large store with a wide range, and some mention narrow aisles, so a small cart or basket is easier than a big one.

1. Bring a list of two or three dishes you want to cook, not only single items.
2. Check the date on packaged goods, as in any grocery store.
3. Read labels yourself if you avoid certain ingredients, because staff can help but labels are the record.
4. Ask the staff where a product is. A product you cannot find may simply be shelved under another cuisine.
5. Carry the phone number in case you want to ask whether a fresh item has arrived.

Some products carry labels in other languages. A phone camera with a translation function helps with those.

Is there a restaurant inside Nam-Hai Oriental Food Market?

One Google reviewer says there is a restaurant inside the market. The guide found no name, menu or opening hours for it, and the store’s listing does not describe it.

Because of that, this guide does not describe any dish or price. If you want to eat there, ask a staff member at the store, or call, to learn what is offered and when. The sources do not say whether the eatery is run by the market or by someone else.

What is not known about Nam-Hai Oriental Food Market?

Several useful details were not found, and the guide leaves them blank instead of guessing. The list is part of being honest about how much a public listing can tell you.

The store’s meat counter is also left out of this guide, because no reliable source describes it. For answers to any of these, phone the store. The FAQ page lists the questions people ask most often and the source for each answer.

Is this the official website of Nam-Hai Oriental Food Market?

No. This is an independent guide published by Tulsa Pantry Notes. It is not the store’s website, it takes no orders and it speaks for nobody at the store. Everything comes from public listings, and each page shows the date it was checked.

If you run the store and would like to correct something or take over the guide, the about page explains how to get in touch. If you are a shopper, the most reliable contact is the store’s own phone number and Facebook page.
