where else can I get the best hoisin sauce for less than 2 bucks?
Flushing...
ok and the area 74th and Roosevelt...
ok but who cares?! This is closer for me to go to after leaving the office and really close to a lot of my favorite restaurants.
ALSO they have this awesome long-named (Tamanishiki) sushi rice for about 5 bucks cheaper than anywhere else.
I don't know why, but Tamanishiki makes me think of the Thnikkaman.
They always seem to have specials on various frozen items, sauces I've never used and cheap pork belly for buta no kakuni or pork adobo.
As I was leaving I saw they have a magic pop machine. I've never had these fresh and I didn't know they came in any other flavor but "kinda browned rice."
I'mma have to go back and try the strawberry & onion, but not at the same time.
HK Supermarket is like PathMart for Chinese although other Non-Asiana shoppers are welcome too. The majority of the stock here is Asian grocery but they do have a good selection of Western ingredients/grocery. Price here is cheap and I mean it is CHEAPer than anywhere above Houston St.
I wouldn't buy my fruit here though; they dont look too fresh to me. However, all the snacks, rice, cans, noodles, frozen entrees and dairy products here are good deals!
Whenever I get into chinatown, I gotta whip out my iphone map to get my bearings... still a newb new yorker i guess. After walking in circles for 15 minutes, I finally landed in Hong Kong Supermarket. This place is one of the biggest supermarkets I've seen in the city... not to mention that it's the cleanest asian supermarkets I've seen in the city. Neatly and fully stocked aisles from the freezer section to the sauce section. It is a bit overwhelming to see all these selections and not know what to get. Nevertheless, this place is dirt cheap every item that I purchased was well under $2.
They didn't have a huge produce section. They just sold the essentials i.e. onions, peppers, corn, bok choy... but if you're looking for something more or you didn't find what you're looking for, you can just exit and go to any of the outside food marts. I decided to get my fruits from the any of the random food market.
I absolutely heart food shopping... one of my secrets to relieving stress (yes, a bit weird) and Hong Kong Supermarket was a great experience.. definitely will go back again.
One of the cleanest and fully stocked supermarkets in all of Chinatown. It has two floors and a lot to offer.
I single-handedly made hell freeze over when I spent only $15.51 here. If you know my style and how Willie Will rolls, I can easily plunk $75-$95 without hesitation in any Asian Market but, I left my cooler at home...BOOOO!!! I took my sister here and she was impressed with my knowledge of the products.
***It also doesn't smell like fish and raw beef in the store. The one gripe people have about Asian markets is the smell. I don't mind, but when people come with me and I have to hear them whine about it, that's another story.***
The produce section was a little lacking in variety but the sauces and seasonings were plentiful. I did find a jar of "Kochujang", which I was seeking for some time now.
You can walk in here with virtually ANY Asian cookbook and find what you need without second guessing.
I will definitely be back here...this place was pretty damn good. Hong Kong Supermarket...brace yourself for the return.
Love it!
Crispy Rice Cakes, baked fresh for only $2? and only 15 calories?! YES PLEASE.
As for the selection of goods, it's pretty decent. They have all sorts of sauces, but not all the exotic herbs. The prices more than make up for it though.
NB: They sell live frogs and sea turtles... for consumption. Seeing them in a water tank swimming around made me feel sad
I like coming here instead of buying my veggies and fruits outside on the streets. This place will do for now until I head back home to California to the good ol' 99 Ranch =P It's quite dangerous here, I always buy more than I can carry home....cuz I want to buy the whole store, CHOMP!
Clean, relatively well stocked and they accept credit cards without the minimum purchase limit (something you don't see often in Chinatown).
Their frozen goods section lacks in some brand variety but other than that it is good. This can be a good one stop and shop for basic Chinese grocery if you are lazy. But if you want better green produce head down to Mott st.
The staff service are usually average. A couple of times I have caught sarcastic comments to each other staff members regarding the products I just purchased. Oh whatever, you move on.
Recent visit with my Mom who explained about the history of this location. Formerly dba M.C.H. Trading Corp. but was recently bought by HK Supermarket.
Clean and spacious aisles makes a mundane task as grocery shopping a pleasure! I rate it four stars due to lack of customer friendly service.
Since the East Broadway location was burnt to the ground this Hester Street is the only one standing… Read more »
i come here for the juice I can not get from a regular super market. They have a whole entire aisle full of juice and soda from Asia. I was a bit greedy the first time I went and bought a few too many cases of juice. My boyfriend had to go the second time around to keep it under control.
Also, if you like Asian snacks. This is the right place to be. I even found my grandpas favorite imported beef jerky. delish.
Ugh, I hate this place now. I still remember when it was Dynasty supermarket, which was the best. Now, this place is filled with dumb stands outside and the sushi stand is almost "hidden".
I like the duck here. Beware: duck, although, delicious, is very high in calories and fat. It helps if you know Cantonese at this place. The people behind the counter give me attitude all the time, but what Chinese place will you go to that has friendly people and great customer service? This is coming from someone who speaks Cantonese. They have a frozen section if you can push through everyone to get to it. It's not bad.
In short: Look no further for asian groceries in ctown.
Do you need ridiculously cheap ramen? How about chicken? Soy Sauce? Well Hong Kong Supermarket probably has what you need. It's a legitimate supermarket, selling everything from rice cooker appliances to fresh meat to cheap ramen. The prices are all extremely cheap, and it makes for great shopping when you're on a budget.
Only problem is that they don't take AmEx, which is a bummer.
I stumbled upon this place in Chinatown while looking for a drink on a hot day. I didn't realize how big the store was just from the outside. The two floors are filled with a good selection of asian foods and snacks.
Sometimes I feel like I should have been born Asian, especially when walking through this supermarket. I'm like a kid in a candy store. There's so many fun treats I want to try. From live Sea Turtle to boxed boil eggs, this market has everything to tickle your taste buds. Not recommended for typical American shopping, as they have a limited supply of cheese, yogurts, breads and meats, well unless you want chicken feet. There's a whole aisle of Asian drinks -- a WHOLE freakin' aisle. Everything is so affordable and fun. Now what do I do with this corn (see pic)?
The Hong Kong Supermarket chain has taken over Dynasty's old site and converted it into 2 floors. The ground floor has fresh seafood (some are even still alive), meats, dried food, beverages from all over Asia, sauces from Philippines, Japan, China, and Thailand, in addition to a wall of freezers filled with dumplings, breads, and buns.
Downstairs you'll find Asian candies, dried noodles, cooking utensils, woks and steamers, and all the herbs and dried mushrooms for making soups and tonics.
Decent to average prices in my opinion (you'll find a better price on fresh vegetables from the outdoor markets when it is warmer) BUT WATCH THE REGISTER DISPLAY AS THEY RING UP YOUR PURCHASES!!!
Some items will ring up at a higher price than that displayed, especially when you buy a product that it supposedly "on sale".
If a sign states 2 for $5, that does not mean that one will ring up at $2.50 a piece but at it's regular price ($3.49). They do not practice salesmanship that is found in American businesses so BE AWARE!
In addition, sales staff and managers will speak in Cantonese to each other about you (make sure you go shopping here with a Chinese speaking friend to know what they are saying) and are lacking in customer service.
I went shopping here with a Caucasian friend and thank goodness I can understand and speak Cantonese enough to put them in their place.
Non Asians and those who do not speak/understand the dialect will find some difficulty here. If you are too lazy to shop around Chinatown for items, this is your one-stop-shopping place.
Credit cards are only taken on purchases over $10!
If you have to buy a non Asian product, go to your local supermarket instead for better pricing. If you are looking for an Asian condiment or an ingredient to make an Asian dish, then you'll definitely find it here...
I've found that the branches in Queens are more accommodating and offer more.
it has all my ingredients i need to cook japanese, korean, vietnamese, thai, chinese!!
produce wise i go elsewhere but i come here for my ingredients to cook with!
cheaper relatively as well and lots of selection...
i'm sooooo glad this replaced dynasty... 2 huge floors of fully stocked items with multiple brands… Read more »
Great clean Asian supermaket, it doesn't have the typical yucky Asian supermarket smell, produce was clean and fresh, seafood looked great. Was a tad freaked by the sea turtles and frogs in tank but i remind myself I've seen a lot worse elsewhere. Staff here are great as well, couldn't find a few herbs and spices and they were more than happy to help! Will come back soon!!
My go-to place if I can't find groceries/ sauces/ asian candies at the various Chinatown stands and mini-venues. I would much rather buy salmon here than the fish stores nearby, mainly because I can't stand the crowds of people and the wet ground. Pricing is about the same too.
Massive!!! You can find everything you need. Especially things like weird cuts of pork etc.
The frogs they sell creeps me out, so I try to not look at the tank when I walk by.
The cleanliness is ok. It's not as good as the newer places in the suburbs but it' meets the basic requirement.
Chances of Returning: 100%
Well lit and surprisingly clean for a Chinatown super market. This place like others have mentioned is super well lit and large!
The only area left unfinished at this point is the front area where it seems like you're walking through a construction site. Once you're past it however the aisles are all well organized and spacious.
No ass grabbing another patron!
Plenty of fresh seafood here, although I always want to free the turtles!
The selection of their household goods is vast and it's a great place to go for cheap utensils and cookware.
The remodel is not quite done, but regardless, it's a huge improvement over what they had going on previously. It's cleaner and brighter. The store is better organized. They're still installing the fish tanks for the fresh seafood section and they still don't have produce. However, what they do have are 12 different varieties of bean paste, an entire section of the store dedicated to Asian instant noodles, pork belly, dried tapioca pearls, and fake meat duck.
What's also amazing about this is that it's really quite inexpensive. I can easily buy a week's worth of groceries (minus the vegetables, but I'll buy those on the street from a stand for a dollar) for about $15. What a deal!
Wow. I usually do my grocery shopping at Dynasty Supermarket but I came here by accident - thinking it was Dynasty and then realising I was on the wrong street.
In any case, I think I like this place better. Its bigger, cleaner and has a lot more stuff than Dynasty does. This place has 2 storeys and its fantastic! I was very happy trolling the aisles :)
Much better than the other HK Supermarkets. Actually has quite a few good (and cheap) offerings here. I used to think that NY Supermarket is super cheap but some items here are definitely comparable. Others are a tad expensive here but can't beat this location. I guess this is where I'll shop if I don't feel like making it to East Broadway...
As others have stated this is a big improvement over the former Dynasty super market. It's huge. Two floors. The store is clean and well stocked with all your Asian food and cooking necessities. The only things missing are vegetables and fruit. Hopefully they will carry them soon. It's a lot nicer than the East Broadway location but not as big as the Flushing location. I come here when I'm too lazy to go the Flushing location.
this place is huge! from the main entrance it doesn't look like it, but once you get to the middle, you realize that there is a lower level.
as with any hong kong supermarket, you can find all sorts of asian grocery items here. i came to stock up on spanish sardines though, heheh. well, they're made in the philippines, so there's that asian aspect. (note: they also sell some standard american/western items).
what i like best about this location though is that it's cleaner and has wider aisles. well it's also new (it soft-opened this week, i was told), so hopefully the cleanliness holds up over time.
just realized that this is RIGHT BY the b/d stop at grand street, which makes it a pretty painless commute even from as far as columbus circle where i live. by far the best supermarket in manhattan in terms of selection and value. where else can you get green tea soy milk (one drink), shaving cream and a 20 pound bag of rice? NOT WHOLEFOODS.
nice place, i found all the things i wanted and something more.
just opposite XO kitchen very convinient. prices are also very reasonable.
do go there before 8 cause they cloase early.
