Variety of asian food (sticky rice, vietnamese pancake- banh xeo flour, kimchi...). Clean vegetables and fish/meat sections.

The place is fine, you can find most of what you need from the Asian store, the prices are reasonable compared to other Asian stores in the area, and the staff is super friendly. However, the parking sometimes is difficult, so, prepare yourself for that.

If time here cause girlfriend said there was an Asian market near by when we went to get our car oil change and inspection. Typical Asian market I think its really an Chinese market but who knows. They carry most of all Asian products. Products from Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Laos, and Cambodia and others can be found here which is pretty neat. Definitely got fresh produce. Just didnt like the smell thats all.

This place is much better than the Chinese market on Central Ave, in that they are always willing to help you. Its smaller, but Ive always found what I need there. They also have cheaper, useful kitchen items past the produce area. $2 enokis!

Produce section is beautiful! Line moved quickly. I didnt see anything else...I only went for produce. Parking is not plentiful at all.

My favorite grocery in the area, great prices, lots of variety and a 5% student discount. Lots of fresh fish. I just noticed today they have fresh roast duck. The produce here is almost always perfectly fresh. We like their frozen buns a lot.

Fresh produce, and the fresh fish section was plentiful, that coupled with a huge range of Asian specific foods! If you cant find what you need here you dont know what you are looking for.

Easy to find. Get what you need and go. Smells like a fish market but thats expected. Salmon is fresh on a Tuesday (according to my aunt).

Love this little place . Cheaper than the big one on central ave. I always get my food at the Asian mart. Just remember its a 10 dollar min for card purchase. They also take ebt as well. Great prices and a decent size too. I love the kitchen section thats on the left of the produce section.

For a quaint store they have a lot of items stocked. There is not much for asian food items that you wont find.

Great place for seafood. Just the prices for the live crabs are sometimes too expensive when the crabs are small. Friendly staffing

Good little spot, not as big as some of the other Asian markets but its a clean establishment and has a decent fruit and vegetable assortment.

Ambiance disgusting.. Not like before. Sea food area smells and looks filthy. Sorry.. I understand that covid has affected the business.

The store is not a big one, yet there are plenty of choices of Asian foods. It has a small stall offering fresh seafood including fish and crabs. The fruits and vegetables are in the back of the store. Everything is super packed, and the store offers good value overall.

Price went up and up and up. Same quality. Should we blame COVID or the owner?🤔

Has essential groceries from many Asian culinary genres. Could be better, could be worse but considering it is located in Albany, this place works to fill community needs

Nice store. Makes me want to get the Babbel app so I can know what it is Im actually buying. Funny thing tho...I found a product made in Australia, in a Chinese store. Go figure. Thank you tho.

In my opinion, this was a very traditional Asian market, which feels hidden right off of Central Ave. The place is a lot bigger than what you expect when you first walk in. The vegetables were very fresh and the options were abundant. Overall, the place is affordable and a little gem 💎. Highly recommend!

There is a bit less selection than the other Asian supermarket on Central Ave but definitely less crowded and far more organized and clean. Very cold during winter though. They dont use heaters, I guess.

Would give it 4.5 stars if i had the option. Parking is a little tight but overall its a great place to find everything you need for Asian cuisine. Can get a little busy but the savings over big box grocery stores are worth it.

I noticed this market received high points, well I was there today and the man behind the fish was rude and unprofessionalI could barely hear him and I asked several times to speak louder.. as I continued to seek help he stopped helping me and helped a customer of a different race. If you want our money remember its green too. They deserve a 0.

Review №58

Over priced and terrible customer service!I will never go back. Also the smell is ridiculous. But most of all customer service is horrible. The have signs of prices that don’t equal what the cashier tells you once you get to the register.

Much less crowded than the other local Asian grocery. A little hard to find things on your own because of the lack of signs in English, but the staff are happy to help. Very good produce section!

Review №73

Can be super crowded both inside store and in the parking.They go out of stock for essential food/produce/items too often sometimes. However the location is convenient considering and can be super annoying for accessing - its near central Ave which is very busy and high traffic and last but not least parking is limited...I recommend this place if you truly cannot find the items you need at hannaford/market 32/shoprite/Walmart

One of the three Chinese grocers in Albany area. Good selection and with fish stall selling fresh and frozen fish. No butcher shop section but cleaner and better organized than the other store

Review №83

This is a friendly, well-stocked Asian grocery store with competitive prices and clear pricing. They have a huge variety of ramen, tea, frozen goods, condiments, dried components, (mushrooms, roots, etc.), produce, imported dishes and tools (back of the store off the refrigerated vegetable section), noodles, rice, broth mixes and seasonings, exotic canned goods, and snack food. I’m vegan so I don’t bother with the meat section, which is average sized. The seafood department is large and accounts for my one docking of a star—this place has The Smell. Not terrible, but you can tell that lots of fish have been through these doors.Speaking of vegans, #protip—they have vegetarian oyster sauce, dairy- and animal-free dumplings and buns (frozen, back wall), many iterations of tofu in every texture, vegan ramen, lots of vegan snacks, and all the mushrooms you need to make convincing vegan sushi. You should also check out the “soy chicken”, vegan frozen meats (R side wall toward the back) and prepared rice noodles (drunken noodles-type).

Although this location is smaller and has less selections than some of the other, larger Asian groceries in the area, I find the employees more helpful and prices often cheaper here. They also carry some items other area Asian markets do not. Worth checking out if you havent been!

I really do like this place, but I have found others that I’ve fallen in love with. Nonetheless if you’re in the city of Albany and you need any type of Asian products quickly that’s place to go.

Very good variety of food at decent prices. If you need Asian ingredients, this is one of two great stores for it (this is smaller, but youll be surprised how much they have). Only issue is parking is sometimes tight.
