New York Mart

Bad, very bad! The service at this place is terrible. The meat cutters don’t look at you and to make matters worse, they serve the people that come AFTER you. We were waiting there for 10 mins and the people simply IGNORED us. The shoppers are RUDE to come in and just cut the line. They must come from Mainland China.
And the supermarket is the smelliest place I’ve shopped at. They haven’t cleaned the place for like 2 years. There is a stench everytime I go to the seafood section.
If you compare prices, you will tell they charge 50 cents to two dollars more expensive than other supermarkets for household items (glass containers, mugs, etc.).
Go to other supermarkets at all costs!

Came here before they changed it to New York Mart. I still come here but I tend to buy less items now. They have a cooked food section but it is not that well made and they rip you off. I don’t worry about having the bone on the roasted pig, but they measured the meat, I paid and they decided to keep the bone part (the bones aren’t light) when I didn’t notice… TWICE! They accept foodstamp for these but it’s not worth it unless you don’t really care about the price and such.

The photo of the pig on top of cardboard boxes was taken today outside the market on 1÷20÷15. I told an employee outside and he just shrugged his shoulders. This is unacceptable. This place deserves ZERO stars because of the conditions but Unilocal forces you to rate them.

It’s ok, not bad, not great either. Decent fresh produce. Good amount of Asian products. Fair prices. Small check out area.

This is my fav Chinese supermarket in town. Though it is small but contains lots of great stuff. Reasonable price and good quality. Shop assistants are nice and friendly and readily to help. I spent a great time shopping here when I lived in Brooklyn during the summer.
Now I moved to Rego park Queens. Once I was so sad that I missed New York Mart. But! I found out this is a chain store. There is one in Jackson Heights. Awesome!
I feel relieved. Life seems so great.

Typical Asian Market. I love this place though it got my favorite ice cream «UBE»
YUM YUM !
The Snacks are pretty pricey though compare the markets in bensonhurst.

Formerly known as the Hong Kong SuperMarket. New York Mart is a big improvement, looks new, and cleaner. It still the smallest supermarket around 8^th avenue.
They kept the parking lot which is a plus, but still is smaller than most supermarkets. It maybe difficult to get a spot on weekends.
Some of the staff can be rude and impatient at times, so finding help maybe a hassle. Fellow shoppers can be rude as well as they will push their way through to get what they want.
They have your fruits outside the supermarket. Inside in the middle of supermarket are your vegetables. To the left you have your fresh seafood and meats. The back of the supermarket, you have your frozen goods, dairy products, drinks, candy, condiments, packed noodles, etc. You will find most of your Chinese and Asian products in this supermarket. Good prices and good deals. Check the circulars.
It is a good supermarket to go to if you know what you are getting and know where it is. I would suggest going to the bigger supermarkets around the area.

Asian Market places…
The smell… the sights. the sounds… the crowdedness of people…
This is definitely a very asian place… Just expect to be:
— cut in front of in line by oblivious people
— rushed to get through the line
— cashiers are not friendly people … LOL It looks like they hate their job.
— the smell to be fishy
— rude people who push you
— but cheaper prices on meats and seafood and veggies
I always feel like I gotta fight myself through. LOL
Most employees don’t speak English so you may have to use body language, use a picture, or find someone that can understand.
They have some Filipino products which I mostly look for…
NOTE: $ 10 minimum on credit or debit card purchases.
They have a small parking lot in front of the place but it is right across the street from the N train (8^th ave.)

After many years of masquerading as a Hong Kong Supermarket (
), the name change to the more simple, albeit more boring «New York Mart» signals a new era for this long standing Asian grocery spot.
For starters, it’s cleaner. Much cleaner than it’s predecessor. Labels have more English than before (#1) and dare I say the produce section has been beefed up slightly. The shopping experience has definitely been made easier, but that’s not to say that the prices and selection are better. Nearby markets that are bigger still have the upper edge.
The staff might be different in looks but the same with interaction, which is generally not helpful. Especially when the weekend crowds roll in, it might be easier to shout along with the employees in trying to find what you need. (#2) Thank goodness for the spaced out aisles and multi-​language labeling, or this might actually be a reality.

(#1) Not that this neighborhood needs it.
(#2) In Chinese. Fukinese, preferably.

The prices aren’t bad… but the employees are very dismissive to their customers.
Another reviewer wrote that they have to do a better background check… and I agree.
I don’t know how long they are going to last there… I overheard some employees saying that because they weren’t Wanchao they were getting paid less and no tips were being passed to them… (I wasn’t even aware that supermarkets were getting tips)
I think shopping at Feilong is better… there are always people cleaning the floors and stacking fruit and veggies…

This place used to be Hong Kong Supermarket and it was the old-​fashion market then.
Now they upgraded or was brought by another management and now called New York Mart. Now it is starting to look like a regular grocery supermarket.
Stuff is fine. No complaints.
You have all the necessities from fruit on the outside and then a mini bakery section on the left side as you walk in. Walk a bit farther is the candies and then dairy aisle. On the left of the store, there are tons of vegetables with signs translated into English and Chinese. Walk towards the left a bit more is the seafood and meat section.
I remember once in the morning, a FJ worker yelling and screaming at a customer and then at the end there was a brawl. I think they have to do background checks on who they hired. But as usual on 8^th ave, if you are a freind of a friend, you’re hired… just beware of your surroundings.

Use to be a great supermarket until they renovated. Fei Long’s much better than this!

So this is the new Hong Kong supermarket… For some weird reason I felt like the area go smaller. They have weekly deals which I love and the people that put out the produce are really rude they don’t even know the word excuse me or um coming your way but whatever at least the stuff there is cheap and reasonable that’s fine by me can’t always have a perfect supermarket. They give out free samples on the weekends in each three corners and every time I try it I end up buying something shows how good they run there business. I never really step near the fish section kinda smells like hardcore fish don’t really like that and feels really messy. But anyways I prefer the New York mart over the Hong Kong supermarket huge improvement

Live seafood and cheap vegetables! Love shopping here for more traditional cooking :)
I come here for my more traditional ingredients (soup flavors, exotic vegetables, random animal parts, etc) when we want to cook filipino at home. this is also where i go when i want to have a shabu-​shabu night at home or experiment making different asian inspired dishes. good quality foods, cheap prices, wide varieties… a great place to shop for your not-​so-​average meal. they also have great a great snack collection if you’re looking to try and munch on something new and different!

I’m not sure when they changed the name from Hong Kong Supermarket to New York Mart, but it’s just as fantastic as the old one. Incredible selection, awesome deals ($ 1.50 for 3 Chinese preserved sausages? Whaaaat? So cheap! $ 5.00 for two boxes of Japanese curry? More, please!) They have all the normal Chinese goods, but they’ve also branched out into other Asian ingredients — banana ketchup (Filipino), pandan extract (Malaysian), gochujang (Korean). Fruit is plentiful and varied; you can get mangosteens and durians, even though they’re out of season! Fantastic: D There are a lot of cashiers and I’ve never had a problem with the checkout line.
It’s also reeally close to the subway station, and there’s a parking lot. What’s not to like?

I miss the old HK supermarket since its been there before I was born and it’s part of my childhood asking my mom to go every Saturday.
But this place is pretty good too. The new place is cleaner and seems more spacious. The prices are also cheaper and yes even cheaper than Fei Long and definitely Great Wall.
I believe the owner has changed to an FJ owner just like almost every other store in 8ave. Miss the old days where Cantonese was more heard than Mandarin :(

So after eating at Mister Hot Pot down the street, they gave us a free melon ice bar which I completely fell head-​over-​heels for! SO my inner fatboy was nagging me to buy more! I thought «this place might have them» and sure enough, my dreams came true. I bought a box of the melon ice bars, and noted the additional flavors offered: banana, mango, and a couple others. Those are the order in which I will try the others.
So I walked around a bit because I love Asian supermarkets. I wound up buying fried tofu squares (1.59 $! for about 20 — they also have HUGE tofu blocks for 1.50−2.00, I pay 4 $ elsewhere for less!), and a couple of assorted teas.
They take ATM at the register, so checkout was no problem! The store is large, pretty clean although not very well organized. Their tea selection could be greater (I was hoping for whole or at least loose tea leaves). They also have a large parking lot.
Great store! Cheap veggies too. I did not look at the meat section, since I am a vegetarian but if the rest of the store is any indication as to the price of their meat, I’d say it’s a sure bet!

This supermarket took the place of the old Hong Kong Supermarket that used to be a mainstay of Brooklyn Chinatown. But anyone who’s watched the neighborhood change knows that it was a sinking ship (especially after Great Wall Supermarket and then Fei Long opened/​relocated).
In any case, it looks a lot nicer and cleaner inside. Fake wood paneling on things. The shelving is cleaner. Signage is more clear. Prices are about the same or better than it used to be, at least enough to compete with Fei Long. Also not crazy crowded like the other markets can get.
