So I've been back a few times and need to give this place props. They will find whatever you need, and had a lot more selection from my first visit. It's predominantly Thai- BUT they can get in whatever you need. Importantly, I didn't notice some of the freezers first visit. Freezers are stocked with dumplings, fish cake etc. then another in the far back with frozen meats, bones for broth, fish. It still is super cramped, but you can get fresh veg needed for most Asian dish. Included some pics of food I made from products I got there! read more

We happened to stop by KK Asian Market on a Thursday evening, and found it bustling with activity as staff worked to put away shipments of produce and freshly made food that had evidently arrived that day. I went in for baked tofu and jarred coconut in syrup (great over mango ice cream, FYI), but came out with a bag stuffed with a whole bunch of miscellaneous goodies: - whole "hacked" chicken with sweet soy sauce and hot sauce dips (a little north of $14) - a large bag of pristinely fresh green beans (a little north of $5) - yuba wrapped shrimp/fish paste rolls with a wee sliver of celery inside for crunch - canned lychees ($2.50) - a package of JY Sunshine Corp. spiced (baked/pressed) tofu, a Brooklyn brand we know and like ($2.99* -- note, now $3.99 as of Sept. 2020) - one of those industrial sized containers of lychee coconut jelly candies ($6.99) - Prince of Peace crystalized ginger tea packets Prices are reasonable, sometimes excellent, on par with most large stores in Manhattan's Chinatown, and I still can't come to grips with just how many interesting ingredients there are in this store for me to experiment with. (I resolve to try making banana blossom salad before the summer is out.... and a curry with pea eggplants, a soup with pickled splinter caparid.....) This store is an incredible resource for anyone chefy and adds quite a bit of interest to our run-of-the-mill meatloaf dinners! The person womanning the cashier was lovely, very pleasant to everyone, Thai-speaking or not. We are so lucky to have this place around. *SO* lucky. read more

Buyer beware I have been a customer of KK Asian market for many years now but seen the quality of the products and service decline with time. My past few experiences there have been particularly disappointing to the point that I will now drive to Hartford or order items online from now on (www.SayWeee.com has been exceptional) despite my preference to buy from local small businesses. First the buyer should beware, if you pay with a card you will pay a higher price which is an illegal practice in the state of Connecticut. Second, apparently all sales are final. It is not posted and I was not informed at the time of purchase. I recently purchased durian which when I returned home I found it to be very poor quality. I returned the next day and explained the situation, hoping to exchange it or receive some store credit but was explicitly told "too bad no returns". The return policy is not the entire issue, but the way in which I was treated as a long standing customer. She was right about "no returns" though, because I will not be returning to the KK Asian Market. read more

Stopped by here for some sauces I couldn't find at another Asian market and was so glad I found this place! Tons of fresh veggies like long beans, bok choy, Thai basil, Thai eggplant etc. I found exactly what I was looking for and more and can't wait to stop by here again! The woman at the register was so helpful! Reasonably priced and love supporting a local small business! read more

If you happen to be restricted to a wheelchair you will be restricted to looking into this store from the parking lot. The aisles are too tight for a wheelchair or stroller to get through :( read more
