This store is a hidden gem! My wife and I just moved here from NYC and originally thought it'd be tough to get any of the Asian ingredients and goods we had grown accustom to -- but then this oasis was recommended to us by a friend. Its gigantic, well organized, and well priced. We couldn't he happier :)
Best place in the area to get Asian groceries/snacks. I've been to the other Asia Food Market locations in Rochester and Syracuse, and this is the newest and cleanest location. Only thing this one lacks is my favorite brand of soy sauce (which the Syracuse location does carry). Emloyees at the registers here are always friendly.
The last week we notice some products that have expired. Then the next time, the same products are date-less. I don’t know what happened but better check the expiration date before purchasing anything here.
So many options, and it's not region specific. Foods from all over Asia. From fresh fruit to frozen dumplings, fresh fish (still in the tank), and even snacks. The visit alone is fun and the options are amazing. Prices on many things are super low as well
I'm torn on this place it's great to find really unique items but it's very difficult for anyone that isn't Chinese to walk around and shop. Most things you can't read and no matter who you ask if you have a question nobody speaks English which makes it very difficult to find things or ask questions. My biggest issue with the place is it smells absolutely awful. It's very difficult to purchase stuff from a place like that. It's such a turn-off you see a fish/meat/produce market and it's hard to imagine this stuff could possibly be fresh because it's just such an awful smelling place. I have been to some markets in Chinatown NYC and they have the same problem. It just makes it seem so incredibly dirty that it's hard to feel comfortable purchasing. I would love a fresh fish market but who knows if its fresh and you can't ask. There is a lot there that I wouldn't buy just for that reason. Besides that if they just labeled things better it might be easier for all people to shop there. I love the produce and finding such unique varieties but again the labels are just not adequate to know what you are getting.
if they would clean it up a bit, organize it (super disorganized ... same items found in different places all over) and labels on shelves to tell you what things are in English..with at least a few English speaking people to assist ...I think they could hugely improve their business to cater to more diverse group of people... I do like the roast duck on weekends and unique produce!
