Tuna tartar with mango and soy sauce dressing is $21.50.

As I stared in disbelief at the little logs of chèvre, I realized that the gradual transformation of the supermarket from a cramped, linoleum-lined box whose offerings included rotting fruit to a sleek bazaar of fresh mangos, organic soy milk and half a dozen flavors of applesauce had also served as a barometer of the neighborhood's transformation.

The headliner appetizer at a recent meal was hichimi-crusted jumbo shrimp on a rice noodle salad with mango and a miso-soy vinaigrette.
