This sizable Hester St. Hong Kong Supermarket is a great place to shop in Chinatown, especially for some deals! The fresh and live seafood section is particularly impressive. If you're looking for fresh fruits and vegetables, especially exotic ones, you'll likely find them here all in one place. They also offer a wide range of cookies and candies, teas, condiments, packaged dried ingredients, and other shelf-stable items. Be sure to also explore the lower level, especially if you don't see something at the street level!

Went here while visiting new york for my cousin's dorm move-in day. I always shop at the Hong Kong Market here in washington state so I knew going in that i'll be able to buy the things i'm lookign for when it comes to asian groceries/items. I took 1 star out cause it's hard to communicate with the staff cause the ones I asked dont speak any English (one was stocking the shelves and the other 2 were cashiers). Overall, good place for asian groceries!

Pretty average Chinese grocery store in the center of Chinatown that is surprisingly big since it's two stories with the basement inside. Reminds me of Super 88 in Boston. They don't really have super big deals, and are not that much cheaper than 99 Ranch. There's a wide selection of Asian snacks and they even have frozen dim sum items like shrimp har gao which is slightly below market price.

Affordable produce in a clean store! I came here for water and came out with a gallon of Poland Soring Water for $2.49. Also two quarts of strawberries for $1!!! My favorite grocery store ever!!! I spoke English and all the store employees understood me. No credit card if under $10, so I am glad I brought cash to Flushings because cash is king here!

I remembered the Hong Kong supermarket happened to be at the corner of East Broadway and Allen St. That one had likely sold to a different owner. When I entered, it was busy. The layout was weirder that the other Chinese supermarkets I have been to. After going around, I realized that the drinks are next to the freezer aisle. After seeing the types of drinks, I chose a Kang Shifu brand.

This place brings back so many memories of the Asian supermarkets back in CA. Full of Asian produce (bok choy, Japanese squash, white radish, etc) and aisles upon aisles of spices, oils, noodles/rice, snacks and frozen goods. Even the crowd reminds me of home - barely anyone speaks English and everyone ignores me :) I have to remember to bring bigger shopping bags. It's great to stock up on everything you need for Asian recipes that you can't find at Whole Foods / Morton Williams for a fraction of the price.

This place is a mecca when it comes to shopping for [east] Asian groceries, with a massive amount of space-- 2 floors in fact, so you're bound to find what you're looking for and more here. There are aisles dedicated to fruits and veggies galore, all fresher and cheaper than what you'd get at most other grocery stores in the city. Fish and meat can be chopped and cleaned for you too. I mostly find myself deep in their sauce aisles, restocking my own cabinets with chili oils, spices, soy sauce, oils, stir fry marinades, and more. They have multiple brands of each, so one is absolutely spoiled for choice here. Head downstairs and it feels significantly more tranquil since you're not dealing with the lines of people waiting to check out upstairs. Down there you can take your time browsing their candy and chip aisles, which are my fave, as well as their aisle dedicated to just different kinds of instant noodles. You can even buy kitchen appliances, metal utensils and ceramic bowls. I think they have a great selection of all of these items. Usually right before I head back up to check out I dart back upstairs to the back where I find myself in the frozen aisles and will fill my basket with frozen dim sum, dumplings, and fish balls. My freezer is always full of dumplings. The checkout lines move quickly and they do accept credit cards, which is refreshing and easy for someone like me who never carries cash. Don't count on asking anyone for help finding anything in the store-- I tried speaking in multiple Chinese dialects too and have been rebuffed pretty much every time. It's no biggie though, because that leaves me to wander the aisles on my own, only to discover lots of new treats for my wfh snack cabinet.

First impressions: Typical for any Asian market in Chinatown... reminds me of when I used to go grocery shopping with my mom in Little Saigon (Cali) when I was little. Was greeted with a little bit of nostalgia as well as the usual sights and sounds of an Asian market. It's pretty clean and brightly lit...The veggies were being packed out of the boxes and they looked fresh and ready to go. Love coming here for my bokchoys, chinese broccoli, fresh watercress, Thai basil, bean sprouts, chilis, etc etc Anything you want, you will find here The Noms: Food is always fresh and convenient whether you are getting a cut of pork belly at the butcher's section, or "exotic" (read, can't find at the local Whole Foods) fruits and vegetables. I also love their snack section... though lately it doesn't have the selection I'm used to seeing from years ago... could be pandemic related supply chain issues. I also love their frozen foods/refridgerated section for quick eats (dumplings, tofu, etc etc) In Conclusion: One of my favorite spots to do all my shopping. Usually has everything I need. The only pain in the butt I forgot to mention is their ramen/instant noodle section sucks. I like the Mi Goreng noodles and the Mi Mama (tom yum flavor) noodles and they are almost always out of stock (even pre-pandemic) so for those items I am always having to go somewhere else to find.
