Where can I get fresh Durian in Los Angeles, California?
Since many Thai people love durian so much, Thai Town in Los Angeles, California is a place to go to buy ready-to-eat fresh durian for sure because Thai people want to eat durian even they are in the US and Thai shops make sure they have fresh durian supply to meet the demand. There are many shops in Los Angeles's Thai Town selling fresh durian that is air-shipped from Thailand like Bhan Kanom Thai, Luv2eat Thai Bistro, and more. The ready-to-eat fresh durian box containing around 1 pound of fresh durian costs around $30 to $40. However, it isn't available every day and it is recommended to check with the seller beforehand.
Apart from getting fresh durian from Thai Town in Los Angeles, you can buy fresh durian from 99 Ranch Market, which has many locations across Los Angeles as well as California and other states like Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Texas, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Normally, 99 Ranch Market doesn't sell a ready-to-eat fresh durian, but the store regularly sells unpeeled fresh durian. You just have to peel it by yourself. (There are many online videos guiding you on how to peel durian.) If you're lucky, you may find a ready-to-eat fresh durian from 99 Ranch Market, which is very rare.
If there is no fresh durian available for purchase, there is a ready-to-eat frozen durian that you can always get from Thai market like Silom Supermarket and Bangluck Market in Thai Town, Los Angeles or even from 99 Ranch Market.
While it's very hard to buy fresh durian online and deliver it to you, you can easily get Thai-style durian snack online instead to at least enjoy some durian tastes at home.
