Over on the side is a cafe. We decided to grab dinner here and it did not dissapoint. It is nicely decorated and you do not feel like you are in a food market. We decided to share the mixed grill. It is a ton of food. There are different meats, Turkish meatballs which tasted like juicy little hamburgers, grilled chicken, beef doner, adana kabobs salad and rice. Everything tasted so fresh. We thought this was a good way to taste a lot of different things, but would love to try some other dishes. We were stuffed with all that food. The server came over and brought over a little dessert for us to try. I am not sure what it was but it was very good. We didn't have enough time to thoroughly peruse the market, but will be back again.

Hung Vuong is your one stop shop for anything and everything you could ever need when cooking or…read moreshopping for East-Asian dishes! This sprawling supermarket has an incredible fresh produce section, an unmatched area for all kinds of fresh fish (both ones you've heard of and have never heard of before), a lot of really good meals to-go and so many fun and exciting options. Now that last bit might make you think I'm some robot leaving a 5 star review (maybe that's what a robot would say) but conspiracy theories aside, I truly love this gem of cherry hill. It's always super clean, staff are really helpful, and it's truly a place I love to support and shop at when I'm in the area. I'll go 20 minutes out of my way to shop here. That's says something. I encourage anyone in the area or someone who is looking for a new shopping experience to please give Hung Vuong a visit! The ONLY thing about this store (which isn't a bad thing by any means) is that MOST products are labeled in the importing countries native language. Whether it's Chinese, Vietnamese or Japanese, just make sure you use a camera translation app to double check products that you aren't entirely certain about! Love this place!

I was wow'd by the HUMONGOUS size of this place! Wowee!…read more My daughter has been here a half dozen times so far. Her favorite things are a coconut drink (non dairy) and a particular Mochi. The drink was really good, but Mochi isn't for me - I think it's a texture thing. IDK. Aisles and aisles of food, tableware, cookware, prepared foods (you can even dine in), etc. They offer a rewards card too. I doubt I'd visit again but my daughter definitely will be!

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.

It has Turkish products, some Polish products, some Greek products, some Arabic products. It has a little of everything I love.

They have a large variety of chocolate from Europe and Middle East. I got some helva and I was surprised by the few different varieties they sold. They had a lot of dried lentils and other dried grains. It looked like they had a good-sized meat area as well but I didn't get any meat this time. I'll have to try it next time.

This spot has been a godsend for finding all the spices I need to keep my home kitchen stocked. For reference, here's just a small slice of what I regularly pick up from International Foods and Spices because I cook way too much pho, jerk chicken, lemongrass beef, and al pastor: Allspice Clove Cumin Annatto/Achiote Cinnamon (both cassia and regular) Coriander Various peppercorns Anise Star Anise Bay leaf Garam masala whole spice mix (and preground) Fenugreek (methi) Dried peppers Kashmiri chili powder ... and much much more! That's not even counting the staples like tahini, ghee, and various nuts, grains, dried beans, and other things. The only thing I'd say I wish they had more of was a better fresh herb selection. One quarter to half of the flavor in my cooking comes from fresh herbs, and if they had thai basil, mint, and other things like that regularly, it'd truly be a one stop shop for flavor. If you make flavorful food, International Food and Spices has got your back. And pick up a samosa and some saag while you're at it.
