I am a long time fan of Super 88. I started going there after a month in Thailand in 2005. I just visited the Dorchester store and, yes, the store is more organized. However, there is barely anything on the shelves and the produce section is pitiful. For example, I could not find kaffir lime leaves used frequently in Thai cooking, bonito flakes used in Japanese cooking, no edamame (fresh or frozen), and they only had 1 brand of soy sauce (Kimlan).

I respect that cut-backs are required during tough economic times but something tell me this chain is running on fumes.
