New Kam Man's Basement Kitchenware Section
Mike R.

When I've stopped by New Kam Man, it's mostly to check out the wide-ranging housewares downstairs - especially kitchenware. You'll also find adjacent tea and other dried assortment to check out. Worth a visit, if that's something you're in the market for. While shopping for a small metal dish this time, however, looked at the condiments at the street level. While Hong Kong Supermarket on Hester nearby has the largest selection, discovered that New Kam Man does offer some quite competitive prices. Also noted the roast meat booth up front. Definitely will have to explore this store a little more and recommend you do too!

If you're in Chinatown, New Kam Man Supermarket on Canal Street is a must-visit for anyone who loves Asian food and culture. It's not just any market--New Kam Man holds the distinction of being the first Chinese supermarket in the United States. The front roast meat counter is a neighborhood favorite. Grab a box of one or two meats over rice for just $9--crispy roast pork, char siu, soy sauce chicken--hot, flavorful, and perfect for an easy lunch or no-cook dinner. Inside, you'll find a treasure trove of Asian snacks, from Korean chips to Japanese treats that are cheaper than at most Japanese convenience stores in Manhattan. It's easy to get lost in the aisles of goodies. Downstairs, explore an impressive assortment of Chinese teas. If you're lucky, Mr. Chen, the owner, might be there to walk you through which teas help with digestion, sleep, or boosting energy. It's like stepping into a living encyclopedia of tea culture. Home chefs will appreciate the wall of high-quality knives, steamers, and kitchen tools, plus shelves stocked with every Asian condiment you could imagine--soy sauce, chili crisp, fish sauce, black vinegar, and more. New Kam Man is more than a supermarket--it's a hub for food, culture, and history. Whether you're shopping for ingredients, grabbing a quick meal, or just soaking in the atmosphere, it's Chinatown at its finest.

Another gem in Chinatown of a Supermarket. One stop shopping here too except they don't sell raw meat. There are kitchenware in the basement and dry goods on the first floor. Plus there is an eat in counter. A large roasted meat section which you can see in the window. They should wash the window though. Right in the busy part of Canal Street between Mulberry and Mott !

New Kam Man is located in the heart of Chinatown and conveniently within walking distance from the Canal Street subway station. You can buy snacks, beverages, frozen food, ice cream, kitchenware, etc. Check out their promotional sale items throughout the store. I bought these items below: Glico Strawberry Pocky $2.95 Moricho Iso Chidori Cracker $2.95 Tamarind Candy $2.25 Bin Seaweed Rice Cracker $1.25 Kit Kat Mini White Chocolate $2.99 Want-Want Crunchy Senbei Rice Crackers $1.95 I love, love, love New Kam Man so much!

Real knives and not that expensive.

We were downtown, hitting all the spots we used to when we still lived in the City. They've really fixed the place up in about the past 40 some years. That staircase to the basement seems to get steeper every year ;) The main floor carries a wide variety of boxed, canned, and refrigerated items. That you won't find in most supermarkets. The lower level, has a lot of housewares and the knife selection has chef quality knives, with prices that are better than Henkels in the outlet store. It seems it's a little touristy now. Some reviews say that the cashiers are kind of brusque. They've always seem to have been that way. I don't take any offense to it.

Another great grocery store/food restaurant in Chinatown! Love grabbing Chinese condiments that are hard to find from chili crisp oil, broad black bean sauce, fermented fish sauce and more. Wide variety of snacks, cookies, savory crackers and more. Downstairs they have a bundle of ceramic wares from bowls, plates, storage containers, chopsticks and more. They also have a restaurant that serves duck, sandwiches, chat siu and other Chinese dishes.

They have cookie tins, and Japanese/Chinese food products on 1st fl. They also carry a lot of natural/organic products aren't so expensive. ($1 cheaper thank most of places) *I added additional photos. If you're going to shop around 4pm the line is going to be very long and only one cashier is opened! There're a hello kitty/ character goods in the basement but it's not an authentic. If you're a biggest fan of the Japanese products, you'll fond out most of them. I highly recommend to buy here. It's very relaxed mood here non judgmental, I know it's not newer than other Japanese store but reasonable and not crowded. You also find products you won't see at the Japanese supermarket. This store is close enough to the subway. (3blocks) you don't have to walk far!

Bought these just for the no-fux-given workmanship

From the ground floor, New Kam Man might look like a typical Chinatown grocer. With its roasted-meat window and eat-in counter, its aisles and refrigerated cases of new-to-you pantry staples, it kind of is. The one glaring difference is that it doesn't carry fresh produce. New Kam Man is apparently also a chain (kamman.com) with two locations in NJ and another in MA, but no coherent brand identity. What sets it apart are the other floors. Upstairs you'll find Asian beauty products. Downstairs you'll find kitchenware galore, with many models of kettles and rice cookers, and so many shelves of porcelain and ceramic dishes. These looked less well stocked than they seem to have been in the past, but they were appealingly laid out, and a man was dusting them to keep them that way. The bowls and spoons I bought could be found for less elsewhere -- probably nearby -- but they were already a bargain, and it was actually a pleasure to look for them. Normally I appreciate the way some Chinese mom-and-pop shops are stuffed with stuff, not unlike the home of a Dickensian hoarder, but as COVID restrictions are being lifted, the more spacious environs of New Kam Man's lower floor were more than welcome. That said, it ain't H Mart. The cashier was brusque and peremptory, but hey, I was in Chinatown. I expected nothing different.

I have been here often since, I used to work in the area. The store is filled with Asian goodies. The store is filled with two floors. The main floor has groceries and the lower level has more house goodies. The goodies are affordably priced for some items. They do have sales sometimes throughout the store.

Picture is blurry again but these are Chinese sausage

This place is awesome ! There is many great food here! They have food such as maltose, pork floss, hawthorn candy, hotpot bases, dried goods, wheat starch, banh bot bao flour, lotus root powder and more! All this food I am not able to find at my local H-mart. There is also many choices of tea here! The basement closed early so I didn't see much but there was a good choice of houseware and tea. There is also frozen and refrigerated food. Outside there was tons of fresh food so that's good but it was expensive :/.

Some of the medications and ointments available
Melinda W.

Their prices are a bit cheaper than some other markets I've been to in Flushing especially for their snacks and medications/ointments (like Tiger Balm) . The only downside is they don't have the largest variety available.

Upstairs - asian skin care products

there are many reasons to stop at Hong Kong Supermarket--from the large selection of produce,…read moresauces and spices for the pantry, a live seafood section manned by fishmongerers, dry and refrigerated noodles, snacks and candies, and so much more. obviously, the items here skew to East Asian kitchen needs but there's a fair amount of just general grocery foodstuffs as well whether they be condiments snacks, or other prepackaged foods, but the focus is Chinese-centric food items. the store is very large and is seemingly stuck in a decade that long since has passed...meaning the store has a bit of grit and chaos to it. it's not that's unclean, but it definitely is not a modern supermarket and the smells will hit you pretty quickly whether it's the fresh scent of veggies and fruits or the pungent smells of the seafood tanks. the supermarket is all what you make of it--if you are looking for a Whole Foods / Trader Joe's experience, this ain't it, but if you are looking for a lot of specific items that are used in East Asian cuisine in one place...then this is your spot. for me, i pick up a fair mount of spices and herbs whether it whole red peppercorns or fenugreek or a jar of Lao Gan Ma Chili Oil...the spice section and condiment section has a good amount of different spices that are priced fairly, but most of these spices are centric to East Asian cooking. the store is packed with items, and if you meander around long enough then you'll get a feel for the store and where things are located. it's good to explore. the street level has all off the produce, seafood, meats, pantry items like sauces and spices, frozen foods, and refrigerated ones. the basement carries a mish mash of dishes and other kitchen items like knives as well as large sections of teas, dry noodles, snacks, and other random stuff. like I said, the store is a snapshot of a market that really doesn't exist in Manhattan anymore outside of Chinatown. for most shoppers, that's a benefit as this store caters to its neighborhood, not an entire city or state. well worth a stop, just to see what it's all about and see an old school supermarket in action and feel that hustle and bustle energy of Chinatown live.

Have to update my review, which is getting old. Afraid this place is simply not as good as it used…read moreto be. Over the years it has gotten more crowded and filthier. The prices, which once were the big lure, are also longer quite as good as they were. As some here have noted, they engaged in outright price-gouging during the COVID pandemic, which I found to be obnoxious. But then the quality of the vegetables steadily declined. Perhaps it was a bad supplier or whatever. And they weren't as cheap as they used to be. The service, while never good, has turned rude, and worse at the fish counter. My old fish store on Grand closed so I started going here for fish. At first I didn't mind when "locals" were waited on ahead of me, but frankly it became irritating after a time. I'm not sure it's legal, to be honest. And the prices of fish are not as good, a buck more expensive per pound, than other fish merchants. The rat i saw on my last visit clinched it for me. Goodbye, Hong Kong Supermarket.
