Tashkent is an excellent place to do food shopping. The produce is consistently fresh,…read morehigh-quality, but still cheaper than the nearby supermarket chains. I won't get my onions, bell peppers, or cucumbers anywhere else, and their satsuma mandarins are also a great find. The meat selection is excellent as well and very fresh. The hot food bar is always worth a stop. Their plov (beef or lamb) is a great deal at $9.99/lb, and the meat is unbelievably tender and flavorful. It often runs out later in the day. The samsa are massive, flaky, and come stuffed with pumpkin, beef, lamb, or chicken. The manti and bilyash are also fantastic. You really can't go wrong with any of the prepared foods. They also carry a wide variety of Central Asian and Eastern European groceries, including seasonings, teas, sweets, pickled vegetables, honey, and more. The bread selection is another highlight, with fresh Uzbek non or lepeshka. The space itself is pretty small and cramped, so it feels more like a quick "grab what you need and go" kind of store rather than a place to casually browse. A line of only a few people can stretch to the back, but the cashiers do a great job keeping things moving. Tashkent also recently opened a location in Manhattan that I checked out, and it's a larger space with even more selection.

They have sales here and there so it's nice depending on what you want to buy.

The tilefish this store sold us was no longer fresh. We…read morethought it's a good deal when we saw the low price at first.But we understood why the price was low later when we noticed the pungent foul oder while the bag holding the fish was opened. Washing it did not help remove the bad oder.The oder became even worse when the fish was put in the pot to be cooked. We live out of town,it's impossible for us to return the smelly fish to the store within 1.5 hours of purchase as requested. So we had to throw away the smelly fish. This is not the first time we've bought unfresh food from this store. It happens to foods on sale quite often there. They need to improve the quality of foods they sell.

This is one of my favorite Chinese supermarkets in the area because of the parking upstairs (need…read moreto get validation at checkout for free parking). It's generally empty midday during the week. The fruits and vegetables are plentiful and sales change weekly. The butchers and fishmongers are friendly. The aisles are spacious. The only negative for me is the temperature- it's always so cold in the store (all year long).

This is my family's go to Asian supermarket. Prices may be a tad bit pricier than supermarkets in…read moreFlushing (Main St area) but worth it given the ample (and free!) parking on the roof and not as crowded when doing your actual shopping. Produce wise, they have an abundance of veggies and herbs. Fruit selection is not as varied as you would find in Flushing and I find berries are always pricier here - but if you're in a pinch, it'll do. I love their seafood section - we always get their branzino or sea bass and they do a great job deboning and cleaning it out for us so it's prepped and ready for cooking when we get home. Their freezer sections has your classic American frozen foods and also a myriad of Asian ice creams (like melons, mochi ice cream), frozen dim sums and baos, thinly sliced hot pot/bbq meat, and frozen Thai spring roll wrappers if you choose to make your own spring rolls. The refrigerated section have ready to cook Korean noodle dishes, ramen, and even seitan (for all the vegetarians out there!). After paying for your goods, don't forget to give your parking ticket to the cashier to get free parking!

JMart in Flushing is another fantastic Asian supermarket with a seemingly endless plethora of Asian…read morefood's choices. The store is clean, well organized, and surprisingly pleasant to navigate. I visited around 1:30pm and, unlike many busy markets in Flushing, the atmosphere was lively without feeling chaotic or overcrowded. Maybe i was there at the time? Their fresh produce section is extensive, seafood selection impressive, and there is an abundance of Asian snacks, sauces, noodles, frozen specialties, and hard-to-find ingredients from across Asia. Prices were also quite reasonable considering the quality and variety. This said, their tiger fish was at $54.50 a pound which is on the high end of the market. A major plus is the excellent food court, offering a wide range of delicious options perfect for a quick lunch or snack after shopping. Overall, JMart delivers a very Asian authentic shopping experience right in the heart of Flushing. This is the go to place for my mother in law.

They have fresh made hot food as well but the choices get less as the day goes as it's made fresh in the mornings I believe. Chips, snacks, plenty of frozen food and meat as well.

Tokyo Market is within arms reach with the essentials you need to grab without having to make the trip out to Flushing or Elmhurst--Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Taiwanese, Indonesian, etc. Just don't expect the selection to be as grand as a supermarket since it is a small shop afterall, but great to taste some of Asia's finest. They also make ready-to-eat snacks and onigiri, though not as extensive as Sakura's. I speak to the owners in Chinese, so obviously they love me, but my friends in the area come here frequently too to grab their favorite Asian snacks since they offer a diverse selection and at reasonable prices. They don't have the most eye-catching storefront, so it can be very easy to miss if you aren't actively looking for it.
