An Asian supermarket that is ethically Taiwanese located in Edison, NJ. The only way to access…read morethis supermarket for transportation is by car. After a sobering visitation for a beloved family member within New Jersey state, we patronized Kam Man Food to pass time while waiting for a cafe to open for the day. There is a free parking lot shared with neighboring businesses. Kam Man Food sits at 511 Old Post Road shopping complex. There is baked goods and a prepared pre-cooked Dim Sum items, a fish market, and some Chinese bamboo plants. My party found Kam Man Food extortionate high priced for a lot of items. Chinese vegetable, bok choy is $4.99 per pound where I can purchase this for $3.26 per pound key market price also in Queens, NYC. One whole red snapper fish, the display signage was $12.00 per piece where this same fish in Queens, NYC would be $10.50. Looking back, our sales receipt honestly state an utter disdain extortionate $15.07 for one whole red snapper fish!! Oh! This business practice price gouging where price is exorbitant high. We suffered from intense buyer's remorse. Cashiers appeared disgruntled with an melancholy indifferent attitude, as noted by a Yelper. Respectfully, I was not impressed with this Asian supermarket and neither was my party. Sales receipts are physically printed in English and Traditional Chinese. There is a small seating area with tables near the exit. Store policy: No refund. "Fish, meat, bread, produce, and refrigerated/frozen items may be exchanged within 2 hours of purchase w/ receipt. Other items within 7 days w/ receipt." Nota Bene: Effective May 4, 2022, New Jersey implemented one of the nation's strictest bag bans which prohibits single-use plastic bags and paper bags at large grocery stores. Bring your own re-useable shopping bags.

It's been a while since I've visited, and man did I do some damage to my wallet! It was crowded…read more(of course!), and the service was friendly. Parking was a little crazy because there were quite a few snow piles in the lot. My first stop is always the prepared food section - picked up: - roast pork (char siu) - crispy pork belly (siu yuk) - dimsum (they had a sale of 5/$20): 3 boxes of shrimp dumplings (har gow), 1 box of pork dumplings (shumai) and 1 box of fried glutinous rice dumplings (ham sui gok) - pineapple buns (bolo bao) - sweetened soybean milk - Chinese fried dough sticks (a great complement to the soybean milk) For the pantry, I grabbed some white pepper powder, hot sesame oil, and instant noodles (Shin Ramyun). Chinese New Year is around the corner, so stop by for traditional snacks!

** Great Selection and Fresh Produce!**…read more Lotte Market is one of the better Asian grocery stores around--definitely a go-to if you're looking for a wide variety of Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Southeast Asian ingredients under one roof. The store is clean, well-organized, and the produce section is surprisingly fresh with lots of options you don't usually find in regular supermarkets. The seafood section is a standout--plenty of fresh fish and shellfish, and they even clean or cut it for you on request. The meat section is also well-stocked with cuts popular in Asian cuisine. You'll find everything from marinated bulgogi to hotpot essentials. There's a great range of snacks, noodles, sauces, frozen dumplings, and ready-to-eat meals. The in-store bakery and food court are added bonuses--try the Korean fried chicken or fresh buns! Parking is usually decent, but weekends can get crowded. Prices are a little on the higher side compared to smaller ethnic stores, but the convenience and variety make up for it. Service and billing slower at times Still, highly recommended for any Asian grocery shopping needs!

The least crowded of the newer Asian markets…read more They're a little more out of the way and not as trendy and fun to shop in as H Mart but there isn't the same congestion and chaos here. Sometimes H Mart feels like it was purposefully designed to have that chaos in mind, like you're meant to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount and variety of goods they offer, to meander through their tighter layout to discover something. Adds to the bustling atmosphere. Kind of like Costco and Trader Joe's. You're always going to leave buying something you never intended to. H Mart tends to cost more than the other Asian markets and caters more towards the youth. Lotte has the cleanliness of H Mart with nearly as much ethnic goods as them, if not more in the South and Southeast Asian department. Their overall design and layout is simpler so it's easier and faster to find what you need. They have pretty consistent sales to boot. Peace and quiet, great for elders and families. Lotte remains to be the most balanced and the IDEAL in terms of shopping experience, variety, quality, and value of all of the Asian markets. Go to the back past 6pm for 30-50% off discounted prepared food. I personally find some of their items, like kimbap, to be better than H Mart's. Food court is also significantly less busy than H Mart's.

In the sleepy little town of South River, who knew that you could find a treasure trove of…read moreauthentic Portuguese restaurants, cafes, and bakeries. Cavaco Supermarket is known in town as the go-to Portuguese deli, grocery, and bakery. The shelves are even stocked with products imported from Portugal. On the front counter, you'll find a variety of fresh baked breads, codfish fritters and turnovers, pastries, as well as of course espresso. In addition, they are a churrasqueria and offer delicious BBQ chicken, served in a giant tray over rice and fries. Their pastries, such as their bola de berlim and pastel de nata I'm not too much of a fan of compared to other spots in town, but their chicken and codfish fritter was delicious and their fries are even fresh cut. Take a look at their various imported goods and merchandise and you'll certainly be surprised!

(And a different collection for the Mexican community but that's a review for another day) And Cavaco's Supermarket is one of these. And what a gem it is. At first you might think the store owners are unfriendly but they are not. They just speak very little English. And if you just try a little bit they are so warm and welcoming. And their food is delicious and different. I have a photo of what the store owner was calling codfish, which I was sure was something else but it wasn't. It was a delicious oniony pancake/fritter with chunks of fish in it (Thanks Brendan B for letting me know they are Pataniscas and Pataniscas de Bacalhau in particular!) I also bought a fried (croquette ?) with savory chicken inside. It was the perfect mix of crisp and chewy outside and spiced chicken inside! I also had a delicious cappuccino (Every cappuccino I have had in South River is delicious) Loving my newly discovered secret place, South River, NJ. But Shhhhh don't tell anybody! I like having it all to myself!

Only disadvantage- I still have to drive down to either Parlin, Kendal Park or Oak Tree Road to pick up my fresh rotis.

What an unassuming facade and what a Marvelous store inside!…read more Express Deli is a wonderful, ok super wonderful, Portuguese baked goods, grocery and meat store, all in about 300 square feet! When I walked in at 11am this morning all I could hear was laughter. And laughter in a foreign tongue! I love that! The owner, a very sweet fellow, was telling a funny story (I don't speak Portuguese so one of the girls translated) while the customers were filling their bags with fresh baked bread, scooping fresh olives and choosing just the right sausage for Sunday dinner. I like to visit small businesses on the weekends when I can. There's a feeling, a vibe that you can only get on weekend mornings, especially a Sunday mornings, when everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves. Express Deli not only has baked goods, like coconut sweet bread and at least 8 different kinds of Brazilian and Portuguese rolls, but they have fresh out of the oven rolls! Oh my gosh! There are apples and pears, and onions and potatoes, and every type of meat imaginable and Pasteis de Natas (delicious Portuguese egg custard tarts) by the dozen! Pictures just can not do this place justice. Just go. You just have to go!
