Best choice for your daily needs. Especially to prepare for your meal or snacks. Many options from Asian ingredients. Good services. With competitive prices. Very recommended.

WOWZER!! I used to trek to Chinatown for Chinese and Pan-Asian ingredients; I had convinced myself that such culinary sojourns were necessary. No more! This store has it *ALL* and then some. One bad thing: parking is a major challenge and getting in and out of the lot is an endeavor, but well worth it!

Good, Asian supermarket with just about everything you could need. Really great that there’s a food court next door as well. I would say that not all the produce is particular stellar - saw lots of browned, limp veggies - and that the meat section could use a little expansion. But for sure, a solid place to go for your Asian grocery needs.

You can find everything here if liked to try mainland or Korean food. A great experience

Great Asian Supermarket near Boston University. I bought my Japanese Shiseido shampoo here at this supermarket. They also sell Indonesian Indomie instant noodle. Recommended.

Perfect spot for all of your Asian food needs & assorted kitchen items. Attached is a cafeteria with unbelievably food and bubble tea. Very good prices, clean, and kind staff. Highly recommended for good fruits, vegetables @ seafoods.

Busy, semi chaotic place and employees are not overly friendly.

This is my favorite place to go to get international snacks and food. The picky is my favorite thing to get and I like the atmosphere here. Friendly people, cute store and easy to navigate.

Very good selection of Asian goods, snacks, and ingredients, and the prices seemed reasonable enough. Definitely look forward to going again. Takes a little while to get used to the layout and find things, but once you do it should be pretty smooth sailing.

A fantastic assortment of Asian vegetables and quite a selection of fresh mushrooms.

This supermarket has more options for snacks and drinks than other Chinese supermarket. I think it makes sense because its right next to Boston university. Food court offers authentic asian food and drinks.

This market has big parking lot free parking. It good for vegetables, fruits and fishes. Price is little much unless something on sale.

This is the biggest oriental supermarket I have been to in Boston. Great selection and lots of fruit, vegetable, produce, frozen and dried goods to get. Most of the needs for cooking Chinese food can be met here. They even have a fresh fish/seafood section in the back!I really like the old school Cantonese music playing here too. Brought back memories.

I was delighted that the saleslady was willing to assist me. Very classy and affordable supermarket here in our area. Last week, my mother asked me to buy some goods for our needs. Shes so accommodating. All the things that I needed were all available plus the price was fair. You expect me to visit your shop again.

Excellent selection and combination of Korean japanese and Chinese products. Good fish/meat market

Wasnt too impressed unfortunately. The employees are super friendly and helpful but I was a little upset with the variety of fruits. Based on the photos on their website, I was under the impression that they would have the usual, lychee, rambutans, durian etc.. But they didnt. They did have Jjajangmen (black bean noodles) which I have trouble finding in other asian markets. I have to order them on Amazon...

Good selection of Chinese ingredients and some other foods.

Super 88 is a gem. The produce is fresh -- Ive never been disappointed by the veggies Ive gotten here (bok choy, enoki mushroom, pomegranates, clementines, napa cabbage, daikon, watercress, etc) -- and the prices are very reasonable (especially with occasional big sales on cabbage and daikon). I havent been so impressed by the meat selection -- the thinly sliced pork we got was really weird. I come here mainly for vegetables and sauces. They also have a good frozen section with staples like spring roll wrappers. Overall the prices are much cheaper than the Cambridge Hmart. Just watch out for expiration dates on some of the shelf items -- many of the hotpot broths are expired when I check them. I find that my money stretches further when I shop here vs. other local Asian markets, and the produce is very fresh!

Its okay Asian Market and nothing special, the best thing about this store is the parking, free of course and very close to everything. They sell live fish and also clean for you.

Great variety and lively environment. They also have fresh meat, seafood, vegetables. They also have good variety of instant noodles.

I havent been here since it was called 88. Wasnt crowded. I was there around 7pm on Wednesday night. Has a lot of groceries including Korean groceries.

Lately I discovered more goodies after I live in this area for long time. I appreciate their improvement all the time. talk with manager, he will give u max info.tea, new kimuchi, rice cooker, sea weed,what else ？

Love everything about the Hong Kong supermarket. It’s very affordable and you can find Asian products that aren’t on typical American grocery store shelves. I hope this place never changes!

They have everything from all over the world especially if you are like to try different types of food. They have fresh produce. Lots of other things you cant find them in American store. Their prices is reasonable.

Why are they selling expired candy? Seriously not cool.

Huge selection of just about any type of Asian food/snack/candy/drink you can think of. Very nice selection of kitchenware as well!

This place over charges clients by adding items not in your purchase cart. They also play other tricks like bag charges. I only used 1 bag and the cashier entered charges for 9 bags. I understand the store needs to survive but these tricks are going to make you lose clients. Clients, please check your receipts and match the items you purchase. I was hesitant about writing this but now I had been tricked 5 times.

An excellent selection of pan asian ingredients and snacks, the staff was friendly but the meat selection was lacking.

Somewhere between hole in the wall and full service grocery. Food court us basic

A good supermarket for every Asian food that you need, a bit cold and sometimes smells weird. But overall a very good shopping place.

This is our go to spot for all of our Asian food needs. Great selection and great prices on produce. They have a good selection of cooking supplies and housewares as well. I have always taken the time to grab a snack or some bubble tea in the food court. It is a staple.

You can get almost everything from Asia here, from Japanese face mask to various assortments of Chinese teas and Asian snacks to frozen durian.

Always find so much delicious stuff here, and the staff is helpful when asked. My favorite Asian grocery in Boston!

Great selection! And safe shopping. It is very large and everyone is wearing masks.

Excellent products and good prices

Good selection of oriental food

Everything is here. Terrifyingly and wonderfully so.

Great destination for Asian groceries, but the cleanliness and smell kind of kills the experience. One of the few places in the neighborhood with a parking lot!

Great place with a wide variety of stuff to choose from. Amazing quality, great staff and quick service. Plenty of free parking at the front of the store.

It has a lot in here. From the staples to the sweets to the odds and ends, this place has what you need.

Great food court. Quality of produce varies GREATLY. Decent selection. Much of the staff has difficulty with English. Clean store, reasonable prices. Meat dept is very so so

Staff does not speak English and would not be helpful. But you get a huge selection of asian groceries, that is unmatched across the area.

Freezing in there but good selection and prices. Meat section is kinda weak though. Also, the food court is kinda depressing from the pandemoc but still enjoyed ramen and bubble tea.

They sell the best ginger tea packets sweetened with honey and the original chewy ginger candy about $2 cheaper than trader Joes. Plus a ton of things that are in Chinese that other shoppers seem to love. So far have turned 3 more friends on to the ginger tea. Tis the season give it a try!

I left my plunger in the food court.

Just a Chinese supperarket

Great place to get pretty much all your Asian items and some reg items. Great choices on ramen too

Shoppers beware - please make sure to check the expiration date on the products you purchase here, even the dry packaged goods.Was very excited to find this market that stocked a good selection of asian foods I couldnt already find in Hmart. However after arriving home, I had one of the snacks Id purchased and realized it was very stale. After checking the sell by date of that item and the others, I found that two of the items were past the expiration date by several months and many other snack Items i had also bought had no expiration date, which had me call into question whether they were safe to eat.I am the type of person that will always check the sell by date for perishable items, but for items like packaged snacks I generally assume that any responsible grocery store would not sell expired stock, especially if its more than a month expired. I can understand if produce is a day old and still on the shelves, or if dry goods are a few days old. But if a supermarket is selling an item that is more than 3 months old, I have to assume theyre extremely neglectful with their health standards or they are purposefully trying to push expired merchandise.

The Super 88 has been an Alston/Brighton landmark for decades. From odd snacks to Eastern staples, the market will have everything you need and everything you didnt know you wanted to try.Hopefully the empty areas gets filled, but the food court has great Phò, sushi, and tea. Come in and get a taste of the beautiful diversity this country has to offer.

Great selection of foods, snacks, drinks and most importantly noodles!

Always the best restaurants with high quality food, bubble tea, and more!

The organizational system may seem a bit arcane at times, but you wont find a better selection of hard-to-find products.

They dont sell Red Boat first press extra virgin fish sauce in stores. All they sell was phu quoc fish sauce instead. They give me a bag for 10¢.

Before they are ok Now they are super bad with their customer service. Also things just bought yesterday at$1.29 a lbs. Next day that became $2.00 .thats ridiculous.

Dirty,old and overpriced.Fish smellsParking lot for easy in/out.Not for me!!

Great Value, great selection, very prompt help

Perfect store to have Asian product and green vegetables.They have decent parking space.

Good selection of typical food items, excellent and vast array of housewares. Some of the bottled product aisles are a bit disorganized with random items clobbered on shelves.

Seeing as though I dont read/speak any Asian languages, I couldnt read most of what was written on most of the items in this store. I would imagine thats a good thing, implying that most of the stuff here is authentic. Beyond that, you will find so many things here that you cant anywhere else.Though, the produce section is pretty limited.Definitely a unique shopping experience. Will definitely be going back.

I love this place; they have everything, even biang biang noodles which I have been meaning to try, and the prices are very reasonable. I like their selections of vegetarian meats and different types of flour in particular.

At food court, the only place around Boston to find freshly made steam buns, taste so good. Super Market has plenty of oriental supplies. Nice place to find home sick cure.

It seems like the store rearranges and changes its inventory every few months. However the changes it has made recently have been less and less towards those cooking meals but rather towards college students looking for ready made foods. It has a lot of Asian specialty fast foods but lacks core ingredients for making genuine Asian cuisine.

Shopping for Chinese food

I’ve known the store since its advent with bravos & fanfares for locals who had been waiting for such an Asian foods carrier of this large size. The store has changed. I myself was out and in and out in repetitions to and from Brighton. The point of my review? This is a very good store. I want it to be even better. Please consider carrying “Salad Dressing: Gomaya-San no Goma Dressing” AND “Myojo Chukazanmai”. For those items to get, I yesterday (9/21/20) traveled into the upside down construction going on&on site of Somerville for Reliable Market (another good store!) to visit. AND in the area, I was mesmerized, lost, turned&turned. In short, my life would not have been so enthusiastically Goma-Chuka (combined) labyrinthine, if the Super 88 had carried those items.

Charge two items twice at the end when I was preparing my payment

The staff was ridiculously rude and outright disrespectful. I let it go the first time but the second time the cashier refused to give me a bag even though I clearly needed one and wouldnt accept my card payment to buy a plastic bag which she didnt charge me for.Id rather spend money and go somewhere far even though this is closer to me.

Cool. You can get all kinds of stuff here u can t get anywhere else.

My favorites grocery store when Im craving of Asian food or miss my home country. Many items that I cannot find at regular grocery store can be found here.I like it more after their renovation, brighter, and cleaner. Parking can be challenging but not as bad as the one in the city.Thank you :)

Its a bigass Asian super duper market and carrys whatever the hell your heart may desire food wise, household wise, snack wise..if your searching for anything at all Asian, and all at reasonable prices. This is the place to shop..

The selection can vary from visit to visit, but on average their inventory for what I desire (mainly dried fruit and snacks) is adequate. The dried mangoes, regardless of brand, have all been sweet and chewy - and all from either the Philippines or Thailand. Other highlights include their seaweed crackers (both want want and nori) as well as their raisin Sachima.

Upgraded since renovation.I originally gave the grocery 3 stars two years ago because it smelled awful and product was not well organized the first time I went in. Since then, they have renovated and significantly reorganized. I love it now. They have an extensive supply of products you wont find in your traditional grocery. The produce selection is awesome and good quality. The pricing is reasonable. Highly recommended.

If I spoke Chinese I’m sure I could find things better but all in all I like the Asian selection just couldn’t find things in the store easily.

The food court are strongly recomended

Nothing fancy, like an old supermarket in the 90s. Staffs are rude. Things are definitely overpriced.

Very good fareast chinese market

Great prices on items in the store, fresh produce, good selection of teas.

Pretty awesome place with delicious small fast food restaurants inside in addition to the asian market. I would not have thought there was great food inside but my husband used to come here a lot. Kinda pricey though for a family!! Feeding 3 adults and 3 children was 90 bucks! Depends on what you get I guess 🙎

Great place to shop. Parking is tight but they do have great prices. Large store has a lot of different foods.

I like the new layout and inventory since the renovation. The supermarket carries many specialty goods (so many snacks!) including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean that you wont find in Star Market or Market Basket. My biggest complaint is that the produce can be a little questionable. I think they just have to do a better job at keep tabs on whats about to go bad.

One of the only places you can pick up a lot of good Chinese products aside from going into Chinatown or overpriced Hmart. Cheap produce, good noodles, tea, frozen food, rice. Wouldnt recommend the meat, personally. Staff is a little cranky, but expected in a high-volume market in a college area.

Every ingredient you need for pan Asian cooking

Dirty and old, they don’t care about serving you. They only care about making money

I love this market and all of the take out options this location has to offer

Most of my things I purchased were expired

Great food and variety but smells like fish

The place where you can buy meats and vegetables at a very cheap price

Grat stuff dumplings my fav.. Live fish.. Da best.. Ooh raah

Lots of variety! Its very nice since the remodel. The food court area is good too.

Good selection of Asian goods. There are still several things that I cant find sometimes (either not in stock or impossible to find because its not very organized) and need to go to Chinatown to get. They have been doing renovations recently though, and looks like things are now categorized better. Hopefully means they have more space to stock more items too!

This place turns its stock over fast and dont worry too much about niceties. Pop in and out, get some fresh stuff

The produce looks not bad. and reasonable pricing!

Super 88 is cleaned up nice. Lots of good Asia products, and fresh produce. Lots of snacks and kitchen items. Fresh seafood. Try this place ! 888888

Decent selection of go-to Asian goods and ingredients for cooking and snacking. However, this location is severely lacking in fresh meat options. The single meat case is pitifully small and the majority of the “fresh” meat is haphazardly placed in freezer cases. Produce selection is decent. Good enough for anything but meats.

Nice Chinese supermarket with a big selection of items 👍

So many new thing to try. Its an Asian food lovers paradise.

The grocery store is a go to for any Asian meal you might be cooking. And then you have the food court which has some of the best Asian and vietnamese food in town!

I love this place.Pros: Tons of food from all over.Food court for after shopping munchies.Particular asian market a e s t h e t i cCons:The freaking doors are impossible to open. Dont let them fool you -- theyre not locked they just hate people.

Very convenient and very diverse!

The supermarket is separated into 2 areas: the market and food court. The food court has a mix of Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean food stalls. I haven’t tried eating at the food court but the prices are definitely higher than Chinatown.The supermarket itself is okay. The produce section isn’t incredibly fresh but the packaged goods are fine. I would check the expiration date for all products (habit whenever I shop at Chinese supermarkets). They have some snacks that Ming’s and C-Mart don’t carry.

I personally dont know what this super88 main Target is. Its in Allston/Brighton, so I would assume its college kids, but yet they have a whole seafood department, when was the last time a college student made whole fresh fish? But they have a sparse meat department. Its just weird and out of place. And as like any other Chinese super market, the ailes are cramped, parking lot has tiny small car spaces, dirty, and because of the location, the items are more expensive as well. They have some stuff but dont have what you need unless you are going in to buy crackers and drinks. Other than that, I recommend folks to just walk a block over to Star Market.
