When I got fully fall on the floor I felt my head dizzy and pain on the bodies ! The security guard whose name is Willa came to help and brought me up and took a stone to let me have a break, he is American, very nice guy! Asked what I need and how was feeling after the incident, meanwhile he called the manager! When the manager came to ask if I need ambulance to the hospital, I refused and talked him about what happened, he didn't say anything about my health situation after the incident, said I was very careless about the steps and the walking issues, nothing about comfort words,that is the manager, a Chinese manager,too bad service and too bad environment with terrible customer service! American people understand how to help me out Chinese manager came to complain about why carelessness! If you met the incident like this what would you feel? We won't come to this store again!

There's no shortage of Asian supermarkets in NYC, especially in Flushing. Customers seeking Chinese…read moregroceries are luckily spoilt for choice compared to most of the country. DC Market (德昌DeChang in Chinese) is one of many places to shop, and they specialize in meat and takeout meals. This location is similar in size to their Chinatown location, though Flushing has more of a rectangular layout in contrast to the long narrow layout in Ctown. Their butcher counter is pretty much unparalleled compared to other Asian supermarkets with the exception of maybe large format Hmarts. DC carries a wide breadth of edible animal products both au naturel and marinated, including more familiar meats such as pork chops, short rib, flank steak, sea bass, running the gamut to less commonly appreciated though edible parts like frog legs, pork lung and hocks, beef tongue, whelk. Marinated specialties like tangerine peel minced beef and pork ribs in pickled plum sauce caught my attention, among many others. The second largest section is the ready-to-eat food section, with items pre-portioned in takeout containers, priced by the container. This area is composed of several counters with a wide selection of steamed, deep-fried, baked, sautéed and stewed dishes, all categories covered--vegetables, meats, carbs, savory and sweet--food items for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overall food quality is not quite on par with good restaurants as some other reviews mention, though not too bad if you're looking for a quick simple meal. Aside from aforementioned meat, some seafood, and takeout, they have a suitable breadth of fresh produce, refrigerated/chilled, dried and frozen foods. What you don't find too much here are packaged snacks and processed foods, which I suppose is a good thing.

I got food poisoning from them as did my husband! I vomited for over an hour, cold sweats and dizziness. My husband wanted to take me to the hospital but I was just too weak to move.

Buyer Beware. they probably froze them, defrosted and refrozen the fish cakes and I was the unfortunate person who bought them!

When you shop and buy $50 bucks of products at Chang Jiang Supermarket within 90 minutes you get parking for free. Purchased $25 dollars and overstay 90 minutes. My parking fee was $10 bucks. Great deal compared to parking at other lots that can cost $12-$16. Definitely, the aisles were well maintained here. We shopped for papaya and staff was picking up the wrappers and sweeping the floor. Lots of sales when it comes to shopping for vegetables. Fruits are fresh and well packaged. Busy shopping here and lines get long at the cash register however staff is very efficient and moves quickly. Will be back again.

Union Fresh Market formerly known as Goowha Market is new, updated and modern compared to what it…read morewas. They now serve Korean street food and sandwiches and salads. I was able to try their Korean toast this morning. I was told you can order it at 7am for people needing a breakfast sandwich. It was $5 and it took about 5 minutes or so for it to be made. You order it with the lady then go inside to pay and show her your receipt. The Korean toast was made of white toast, cabbage and carrots shredded up mixed with egg into a big square omelette, a slice of American cheese and a slice of ham. Eating everything together was ok but eating just the vegetable and egg part by itself was very bland. I think it needs a little more seasoning. Also the sandwich came with ketchup already on it so if you don't like ketchup then let them know. As for the market items it was a bit expensive compared to Hmart a block away and the meats didn't look as fresh or have a large selection. The only thing with a great price was a case of Shin Ramen for $11.99.

My fascination with Asian markets goes back decades. I quickly gathered that no visit to Flushing…read moreis complete without at least a quick sweep of Jmart. The place warrants more time than I had that day. The market is immense with a dizzying selection of items. I was amazed walking down the condiment/sauce aisle with more choices than I'd seen elsewhere. I noticed products that were new to me, like black chickens. I learned from a Google search that it's a natural genetic condition causing excessive pigmentation. Apparently the black flesh has a stronger, deeper and slightly gamey flavor with meat that's tender and juicy. Prices seemed fair, business was brisk, and I for one, will return! I'm sure some on staff speak English, but the employees I came across, did not.

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.

Skyfoods is one of my more preferred Asian supermarkets because of its relative spaciousness and…read morecleanliness compared to other places selling similar items. They also carry a number products and brands less commonly found in other Chinese supermarkets. This Skyfoods is one of a few locations, two in Flushing and one in Elmhurst; this one sits on the first floor of the Shops at Skyview on College point Avenue in downtown Flushing. Walking in from the main entrance to the shops this is kinda hidden towards the back of the building. It's nice that it doesn't usually get too crowded. They give free parking in the structure if you shop and buy over $40. What's nice similar to some other larger Asian grocery stores (Hmart, Mitsuwa) is they sometimes do sampling stations on weekends where they showcase a handful of products. My last purchase of a box of Asian pears was because I got to try a couple pieces of sweet fruit so I felt confident in picking up a box. Aside from fresh produce, meat and seafood, dried, canned and packaged foods, they have relatively larger refrigerated foods and tea/drinks and snack sections. See pics of some interesting products. Also for example they carry some instant powdered sweet fruit (jujube, sour plum) teas here I don't find in other places, and for that reason alone I make a trip here every so often.

I'm a fan of Skyfoods in the Skyview Center mall. It's my top choice for stocking up on Asian…read moregroceries. The size of this place is impressive, with a huge selection that really makes it a one-stop shop, for Chinese and other East Asian ingredients. Stocked with a massive selection of Asian vegetables, and fruits that are difficult to find in a traditional grocery store. Greatly appreciate the quality. From fresh, leafy vegetables and mushrooms to a truly staggering variety of snacks, sauces, and noodles, their inventory is fantastic. The dedicated seafood and meat departments are also well-stocked, never saw live eel sold in a grocery store. Being inside the Skyview Center is a huge plus. It's great to be able to hit up BJ's wholesale, TJ Maxx and other stores in the same trip, and the indoor parking garage is a game-changer, especially on bad weather days. Compared to some of the other supermarkets in Flushing, Skyfoods feels noticeably cleaner and brighter. The aisles are well-organized, making it easier to find what you need. Checkout is wonderful, no chatty cashiers, just simple, polite, fast checkout! For a huge, reliable selection in a convenient location, it's a solid four stars. Tip: The hot food section is a lifesaver for a quick and affordable meal. You can get a solid lunch box combo with rice, several dishes, and soup for a great price. It's especially good earlier in the day when the food is freshest. 2nd tip: Spend $40, get 3 hours of free parking.

What I liked most from this store is that it had written English words for all the green vegetables which was a big help. Not familiar with all the latest international produce items coming in as well can not read Chinese characters. Definitely, shop here for produce for prices are reasonable. Also, find out what's on sale. These are the best bargains to be had. As you walk into the Great Wall supermarket there two levels. One on street level and ramp/stairs to go below. Found prices to be tad marked up. Presently, they are still giving away red bags. They probably have lots stocked up that needs to be given out.

Ambiance wise is probably your typical/standard H Mart in the neighborhood. Fast service from friendly staff in the aisles and by the cashiers. There're so much fresh produce like fruits, veggies, meat, dairy, dried goods and etc from H Mart. Great clean grocery store with an amazing, diverse selection and range of products. However, it can be more on the expensive side for the price range. There's also a decent-size parking lot. First thing first, love getting the thinly-sliced beef that they've which we usually use during hot pot for dinner. The meat texture is so tender and not tough. Tastes so freshly prepared and seasoned with just a little bit of salt, black pepper and soy sauce. My favorite things to get from H Mart are often Korean snacks like roasted seaweed and chips plus jars of kimchi and different flavors of Melona Ice Cream Bars (Purple Yam/Ube, Honeydew Melon, Banana, Strawberry, Coconut and Mango). Can't get enough of those flavors at all. Melona is considered as America's favorite Korean ice cream, to say the least! Sometimes, they're also $1-2 off the original price if you're lucky to see it! *********************** If you happen to get really hungry while shopping at H Mart, you can stop by their self-serve, sit-down food court called Namudol. A great and popular option during lunch, dinner, and solo dining. They serve bibimbap, kimbap, bulgogi stew, seafood pancake, cold noodles, spicy kimchi stew, marinated chicken/beef bento boxes, just to name a few from the menu. Price ranges approximately from $11-30. Namudol is a laid-back, Korean cafeteria-styled eatery offering more of a comfortable and relaxed dining experiences. They seem to accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments at the food court. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, Namudol has you covered with its diverse menu options. The restaurant provides the convenience of takeout service, allowing you to enjoy their flavorful dishes from the comfort of your own home.

On one hand, it's knowing how to order and then more importantly, knowing what to order. Mala Siblings (觉世双椒麻辣香锅) is really more than meats the eye (#1) kind of place. A lot of folks will see Kwafood Fried Skewer (#2), but the key is to walk past the skewer display and discover a separate business on the inside. What one will find is Sichuan style street food, which features a customizable dry hot pot (麻辣香鍋) with fried skewers and almost next-to-zero service. It is open late and has a decent amount of seating, especially between 2-3AM. The format is simple: Grab a bowl and begin choosing from the open fridge for all the meats, fishballs, seafood, and vegetables. Drinks are usually on the top shelf. Once assembled with a proper spice level, the meal is whipped together by the staff, and served on a tray. It doesn't come cheap at $20 a pound, but the other spots are either closed or too far away to consider any alternative. While the food isn't mind blowing, this is worthy in a pinch. Dry hot pot is usually fun, but folks can also enjoy their selection with soup if they please. The spice levels are from 1-5 and anyone who can tolerate the latter half are serious spice lords.
