Good amount of options for vegetables, dry products and meat. Compared to other similar Chinese stores, quaily is in the middle but the price is on the high end. Since the location is convenient for me, I still go there from time to time.

I love the Asian community and regularly shop at Asian supermarkets in Chinatown. For many years, I would shop here out of conveniece. However, every time the staff would be Extremely rude to us. Telling us to move out of the way while putting our credit cards back in our wallets. Not say thank you, people cutting in front of us . This supermark is one of the worst experiences ever. For many years we have been shopping here. And I agree they have a lot of great items. However due to the service which was provided. I Strongly suggestsupporting other Asian supermarket that provide better service. Maybe its because we are foreigners but I feel that all customers should be treated respectfully.

Things are a little more costly than C-Mart. But convenient for some elderlies and a quick pick up for a needed ingredient.Some Chinese produce are fresh. The fruit could be better.

Great place to shop for fresh fish. They have it all. The language barrier is present but the employees definitely understand English and are willing to understand if they dont.

Pretty much your average chinese grocery store. Not the cleanest establishment, but full of all the tasty treats you cant get anywhere but Chinatown. Worth it!

I have go this supermarket every week for all my food, I got so disappointed today because I have bought two bad soy milk two days ago, and the expiration day is Feb,03...I did put in the refrigerator all the time, and took pictures down and make a call...they ask me to bring the bad soy milk back for exchange...are you kidding me? How do I take subway round trip to spend my time for exchange the soy milk for about 7dollars??? the subway gonna cost me 5dollars..they said that they need to show the bad soy milk to the factory, what a good excuse,who cares,.it is not my problem, they should just told me for 2 free soy milk next time I stop by since I am honest with the pictures....bad customers service...I would never ever come back...

Everytime we come to Chinatown, we come to this Asian supermarket to buy Asian products. I always get Asian snacks and spicy ramen from here. SO GOOD! My dad typically buys produce, noodles and tea from here. Its on the main street next to the large Cantonese restaurant, so you cant miss this supermarket. You want authentic Asian products? COME HERE!

Terrible!! two days ago (Jan 17, 2020) I purchased a bag of Udon, the expiration date on that outer bag is 2020-6-30, however in the inner bags, it was marked as 11/09/2019. I got something that is supposed to be thrown away 3 months ago!!

Review №27

Very cool market full of anything you need! I was able to pick up fresh wonton wrappers when mine didnt turn out right 😅 there is an entire aisle for noodles and another for sauces! A great place to stick up your spice cabinet, and maybe try a few new ones as well. Everything was reasonably priced as well.I went on 1/2/21 and every single person was wearing their mask and most wearing gloves too, all the employees definitely were. There was sanitizer at both doors, and even in the more narrow aisles people were very conscious of keeping space. Also wanted to mention the employees are extremely kind and helpful if you cannot find what you are looking for, or just need a suggestion.

Wide variety of selections, from dry food to vege, noodles, etc. So glad I went and got lots of items I need and cravings fixed. They also have the self-heat hot pot if youre curious and want to try it out. And many other snacks that you are looking for, you can very likely find it here as well.

Review №35

Medium-large Chinese supermarket with an enormous selection of products, including seafood, meat, fresh vegetables and fruit, and frozen and processed foods. Always crowded. You can find a lot of items here that youll never see in mainstream US supermarkets, but for items that are readily available in supermarkets (such as broccoli, green onions, and oranges), prices seem high. Store could be cleaner, and produce could be fresher. Not everything is labelled in English, so it helps if you know what youre looking for.

This place is a gem to me. I love fresh greens and this place has it. So much to choose from. A friend of mine brought me there as she shops there for her family. She explained what greens to buy, for what and with what. I love the fact that you can also get fresh fish, noodles and all the seasonings you need. It also has the bowls that I love to use for everything. It is not a huge place and may get uncomfortable on a busy day but it is worth the visit.

Well stocked and very reasonably priced Asian grocery shop right in the heart of Chinatown. Good selection of greens and veg. Nice section of sauces esp from SE Asia plus quite a few varieties of tofu, frozen goodies such as roti paratha, chinese pancakes and dumplings.Some Korean sauces but HMart is better for Korean and Japanese items. Quite a few brands of 3 in 1 coffees, teh tarik and milk teas. There is a fresh meat and seafoid section.

Looking for Asian grocery? This is the one! I tried doing my grocery here on several times of the day and I never encountered waiting long on a line. I like how they have cashiers on both their exits which is helpful for the customers cause you get to choose the option where to pay nearest to which street youre about to exit. they have wide range of goods from fresh fish, vegetables, fruits, canned goods, biscuits, etc.. they are affordable too!👍🏻

Wonderful market, surprisingly large, enormous selection of fruit, vegetables, seafood, packaged products. Tough to spot from the street: its a subtle door, to the right of Jia Ho Jewelry. No big splashy signage. Feels like a secret market.

Denoted C-mart by the H-mart crowd, this is a great place to get all manner of Asian fare. While the selection is fairly different from H-mart, it is great for one stop shopping.

Awesome selection of Asian groceries. Very nice if you are looking for Asian food or snacks. However, it is not super clean like other places. Quality is great and people are alright. Could improve a lot more though.

Review №61

Great selection of items. If you know exactly what youre looking for or can read Chinese, youre in good shape. Most of the food labels contain English as well as Chinese but not everything. Our search for curry paste too a while but we ended up with three different kinds as well as a few other sauces we cant get locally.

Awesome and bustling Chinese supermarket with all of your Asian essentials such as fish, ramen, and meat. There is a $5 minimum on cards but it can be bypassed. Overall, there is a lot to choose from and it is one of the best supermarkets for Asian food in Chinatown as it is walkable from the T and is near all of the restaurants.

I love this place. Convenient, cheap and a great selection of produce. Plus you can get the Chinese ingredients you normally dont get. The staff isnt the greatest and they dont speak great English so dont expect stellar customer service. But still amazing

Great selection of products including fresh produce; the store is not large but it is stocked floor to ceiling. I like to buy fresh tofu here- they sell Chang Shing which is made in Cambridge, MA (so good!) They have a particularly large selection of noodles, different soy sauces, and candy.

Review №72

This is where I go for cheap groceries. I am a college student living without a meal plan. I go here for produce, fruit, noodles, snacks, and seasonings. The meat here isn’t the best, but occasionally I’ll buy that too (go to McKinnon’s instead). The fruit is cheap but not the freshest so be sure to eat it quickly. They have lots of Asian snacks too! :)

Review №76

Produce here is pretty good and cheap. You can get a freshly killed fish here. An older man will catch a fish (usually the live ones are tilapia) and whack it on the head with a big mallet. It reminds me of that hammer from the old Donkey Kong arcade game. The place smells a little funky from all the fish guts lying around, but overall a good option for groceries in Chinatown.

They have pandan leave and glutinous rice im looking for. 4 stars because 1 staff was kind of rude.. store with narrow aisle for the grocery cart (like most asian market out there) but otherwise Fair price. Been here twice. 1 kind grandpa showed me where to find glutinous rice bless him. Will be back.

Review №81

One of the hidden gems of Chinatown and fun to visit if youve never seen an ethnic grocery store. Blows Whole Foods and Roche Bros out of the water in terms of prices for fruits, veggies, fresh (live) seafood, as well as pork and poultry. Seemed sketchy at first to get chicken less that 2$/lb but after two years of eating it all I vouch for anything in their butcher shop that you want to eat (fish balls, tripe, and duck tongue for the adventurous). One of the few places in all of Boston that consistently has fresh basil, even in midwinter. Good selection of sauces and imported dry goods. Just dont expect anybody to explain things in English.

Ra
Review №82

People here are unhelpful and they dont treat customers good. Most of the items being sold here are pricey compared to other near by Asian super market. If you really need good service with quality and decent pricing then look elsewhere. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone because of poor service especially at the billing counter.
