    If you want to make Thai curry chicken, Malay Curry noodle soup or some Thai Ice Tea, this grocery store can satisfy all your South-East Asian food need. They have all the spices, sauces, and dry goods for your cooking. They have also other Chinese grocery as well as fresh vegetable right in front of the store at low prices. Space or organized display is not their strong point but if you are patient, this place is great.

    This spot gives credence to the time honored maxim that "you will find it, if you look hard enough." This spot has been under my nose all these years, yet I've never had the wherewithal to conduct a proper search for this spot; well, I was recently put into a bind since I didn't have a specific sauce that is utterly necessary to fully enjoy a Filipino lechon dish(of which I had cooked about 4 pounds of the previous day... I used some homemade bbq sauce for some of it, but it's just not the same). Not wanting to venture into the outskirts of Queens for such a secret sauce, I resorted to a proprietary Yelp search (i.e. "Filipino Store") in/around the area that's within a reasonable vicinity to my regular place of business. Curiously enough, this little market turned out to be the #1 hit for my search. All I could think was "no way can there be a Filipino market so close to where I've worked/played/studied for all these years...", and technically, that sentiment was correct (this isn't a Filipino market, at least not exclusively). The place's namesake is an apt description of what it is... it is a market of Asian goods; not just Chinese, not just Japanese, not just Thai, not just Indian, not just Filipino... but all the above (and so much more). I could feel my chest getting heavy at the realization of all the years I've wasted not knowing of this place's existence; to my credit, the place is a bit hard to find. Now that I've finally found you, I have to make up for all the lost time. Typically I would scoff at a $20 credit card minimum... but it is so easy to spend that kind of money here. You can bet your ass that I'll be experimenting with a lot more flavors now that I have this place's full arsenal/armory/ordinance depot at my disposal. And yes, I did find the special Filipino sauce here, so bonus points for that.

    After I returned from Malaysia and Singapore I looked all over for the popular coconut jam (called Kaya). So far this is the only place I've found that has it (in fact, they have 2 different brands imported from Malaysia). The woman at the counter was very friendly and helpful answering my questions. The pricing was reasonable and I'll definitely be back next time I need some hard to find Southern Asian foodstuffs.

    Asia Market Corporation, an Asian grocery that sells spices and packaged goods imported from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, China, Korea, and Japan. I usually come here for spices, instant noodles, bottled chilli, crackers, ayam brand can sardine from Singapore & Malaysia. This is where I get my supply of Petai aka Stinky beans. :o) After the store extension, it feels more comfortable to shop here plus they keep the place tidy and neat. The staff are very friendly and helpful too. :o)

    There are a number of similar names for this small, but mighty, establishment floating around on…read morethe internet: Ninth Avenue International Foods, Ninth Avenue International Market, International Grocery & International Food, Ninth Avenue International Grocery, or just what's written on the sign: International Grocery. Whatever the actual name, it seems that this Mediterranean specialty store has been open since 1947, run first by the Smitsis Family, and then the Karamouzis (including brothers Sotiris, Dinos, and Panayiotis). The Karamouzis moved it a few doors north to its present location in 1983. The neighborhood around the store has evolved a great deal over the years, but inside, old world charm persists. Everywhere you look there are bulk bins, barrels, and sacks brimming with: - Spices: all the staples needed for Mediterranean, Indian and North African cuisines, including za'atar, dried tamarind, cloves, allspice, rock salt, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, red pepper, black mustard seed, etc... - Dried fruits: pineapple, apricots, raisins, figs, diced orange peel, dates, etc... - Dried nuts: cashews, macadamias, almonds in every form, walnuts, pistachios, etc.. - Grains, beans, lentils, and flours - Coffee I love that International Grocery has stuck with bins and barrels for all these years. Bulk bins were the norm when the store first opened and are so much more environmentally friendly than the ubiquitous single use plastic packaging we see nowadays. Environmentally conscious folks are increasingly coming around to appreciate bulk bins and I wouldn't be surprised if they became the hot "new" trend in coming years. If you stick with something for long enough, it comes back into fashion, right? The wonders don't end with all those glorious bins, however. Far from it. Improbably, all of the following (and more) also neatly fit into a store the size of a suburbanite's two-car garage: - Olives -- about 10-15 kinds by my last count, but I've seen even more varieties at times. I love my crisp, green Castelvetranos and black Kalamatas; the Progeny loves her pimento-stuffed Manzanillas. - Antipasti (mushrooms, artichokes, giardiniera, gigantes plaki) and preserved lemon peel - Feta (Bulgarian, Greek) and other cheeses - Tzatziki and other spreads - A variety of fresh and packaged pastries (baklava, kourabiedes, koulourakia) and halvas - Olive oils, pomegranate molasses, carob molasses - Pita breads and pasta - Rose water - Amardeen (an apricot leather used to make a Syrian drink of the same name) Prices are quite fair and the owners + staff are kind, generous, gentle and gracious. When my 10-year old privately expressed interest in the orange peel to me, one of the owners overheard and offered her some to try. They didn't look at all askance when she delightedly opened various bins to sniff the beautiful aromas within. (I did teach her to waft the smells to her nose by hand a la chemistry lab, instead of sticking her head into each bin.) As much as I detest the areas around Port Authority -- it's one of the dirtiest, smelliest parts of NYC -- I do go out of my way for International Grocery and will for as long as we're both around.

Their fridge was stocked with different to-go sushi options and pre-made rice bowls. Sadly, I wasn't hungry enough for a whole meal, but I did notice the matcha stand right at the entrance. I told my friend I would just "take a look," but somehow ended up walking out with a drink. MATCHA COCO - 8.80 I watched the barista dump in slabs of ice cubes, maybe 3/4 of a bottle of Vita Coco coconut water, and pre-made matcha foam from a plastic container. I was completely flabbergasted at the price of the drink for such a basic preparation, and I prepared myself to hate it. Despite being incredibly overpriced, I couldn't deny how refreshing it was. The coconut water wasn't too sweet, and its smooth, light flavor paired well with the airy matcha foam. I didn't hate it. I wanted to, but I couldn't. At this price point, I can't say I'd go out of my way for the Matcha Coco despite how delicious it was. If I ever come back to this Hashi Market location, I'll probably spend my money on the prepared foods instead.

A couple of weeks ago, I reported witnessing an older male employee wearing a hat and mask quietly say 「何やってんだよ、テメェー」 toward a customer. Today, while I was trying to get my partner's attention in a busy, narrow aisle, this same employee muttered the exact same aggressive phrase at me under his breath. In response to my original complaint, you wrote: "We deeply regret the incident you described. This is not the experience we aim to offer. Your feedback is essential in helping us identify areas of improvement. We'll address this issue with our team to maintain respect and courtesy." How is this behavior still acceptable after I specifically reported it? What action was actually taken to address the first incident and prevent it from happening again? This is no longer an isolated incident or a misunderstanding. The same employee has repeatedly used insulting and aggressive Japanese toward customers, apparently assuming they will not understand him. I am Japanese, so I understood exactly what he said and how hostile it was. At this point, I am no longer convinced by a generic statement about "addressing the issue" or maintaining respect and courtesy. I would like management to explain what concrete action was taken following my original complaint, what will be done now, and how you intend to ensure that customers are not treated this way again. If this is the level of customer-service training and accountability being provided, it is clearly not working.
