New York Mart

The size of this supermarket is ideal for a supermarket but I feel they lack in selection. Was not able to fine a few things that I would be able to get in the china town market. Such as marinated meat.
This place has a fish section so it can be slippery and smelly

Great store to have in the area. Saves a trip to Chinatown or elsewhere for less common ingredients the smaller Avenue U stores don’t carry, particularly the non-​Chinese products. Except for Russian items, which this place doesn’t really carry, they have a larger selection than the place (whose name escapes me) on Coney Island Avenue just south of Avenue U, the second largest (and second cleanest) in the immediate area.
They have a very large selection of Asian dry, canned, and jarred goods. Mostly Chinese, but they have useful a selection of Japanese, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese things as well as some American stuff, too.
Their fruit is decent, but they don’t have the widest variety. They have the standard Asian vegetables and fresh herbs, fresh rice and wheat noodles, tofu/​soy products, Chinese sausages, etc. The variety of rice they sell in large bags is surprisingly somewhat limited — the smaller places do better for that. They have a lot of frozen items including some raw seafood they don’t sell fresh or defrosted. They also have a large «standard Chinese» meat counter and a fairly decent seafood counter. They carry American dairy products, eggs and bread, too.
Sometimes the area just inside the front doors does have a somewhat funky odor, but it you’re seriously offended by it, you need a reality check. In general the store is very clean and well-​laid out, like a standard supermarket rather than the smaller, cramped Chinese groceries you typically find in Chinatown or further west on Avenue U.

Probably the cleanest Asian supermarket on the ave considering that there are 3 within a ten block radius. You can find decent produce and even some more of the «exotic» types (live turtles, conch). The place has 2 floors and an elevator to use if you’re pushing around a shopping cart. My prefer market given the area.

I’ve been in a couple of times now and have mixed reviews about the place.
Easy to find right on avenue U. Parking is the usual for busy Brooklyn, on the street and hard to find especially on the weekend. I usually just walk down here.
At the front is some produce, most of it looks alright but sometimes you just have to pick thru it to find something fresh. They sell flowers at the front as well. There is almost always someone at the front yelling about some specials. It can get loud and obnoxious on the weekend but just walk right past and move on…
Inside they have a decent selection of fish and some meat. Towards the back of the place they have fresh frogs and eel, and it smells anything but fresh. The smell is enough to make one want to turn around and run for the exit. Just breathe thru your mouth and keep walking. They have dirt cheap stuff to make sushi rolls. I love getting my sushi rice here. Cheap and delicious. Down the few aisles they have a lot of choices for different ethnic food. There is also a downstairs area which has occasional good finds.
Head to the check out lines which are always busy but move quickly. Cash and credit cards accepted. And also in the front is a red bull fridge :)

I recently stopped in, on a mission to find Kewpie mayonnaise — I hate mayo, but read some article about Kewpie being the fave of chefs. I figured I’d see for myself …
I like the flowers and plants for sale, near the entrance, but man, the stench could knock you over. It smells like death in there — it’s like the combined smells of a butcher, a fish market and hot garbage. It’s awful.
It’s a nicely organized market, I suppose, but I got out of there as fast as I possibly could — and I’m generally a browser …

Fairly new supermarket on Ave U, things are organized. But beware of can food, many of them I seen are expired.

This place is certainly much cleaner than the two supermarkets down the block heading down the streets numbers. However, the prices are a bit more expensive than the ones close by.
I won’t lie though– they do have a great selection from Japanese to Filipino products. Their downstairs section is mostly junk food and candy (a whole section by the wall strictly dedicated to haribo and those of the like) and some pots, pans, ceramics, etc.
I don’t like that the floor is slippery by the seafood section. That’s a safety hazard and I’ve caught myself multiple times before slipping here.
I wouldn’t come here really– it’s not safe, just clean and neat. It’s not as crowded but then again, you’d have to think why.

I was looking for a few items to make some sushi and other Asian food and stopped by this location.
I was rather disappointed that I couldn’t find what I was looking for, sadly. But the bigger disappointment is the size and the cleanliness. It smells, eek.
But I shouldn’t expect much because it is a market with live water creatures.
The organic selection is limited, and you don’t know how processed some of the grocery items are.
The vegetables are not organic, but it’s hard to find organic Asian vegetables, but the prices are very cheap comparatively.
Try to come on a weeknight as weekends you’ll find a major crowd.

Don’t come in if you’re squeamish. Between the live frogs, eels and turtles, you just might lose your lunch. Also, be sure to know how to spot fresh fish… they don’t exactly peddle the freshest of catches. I go there for the organic eggs, Asian canned and jarred products along with noodles and and some other frozen products. I’ve even been known to grab some produce, but I steer away from the meats and their fish selection. Grab some mocchi, just stay away from the frogs… unless that’s your thing, then you’ll want to head straight to the back of the store, they’ll be waiting for you.

I don’t know if this is politically correct to say, but the vegetables here are steroid sized, and might I say, cheap as hell to the pound. The prices are good, which is the reason I keep going back. I not a frequent shopper of Asian supermarkets, but this place has made me change my mind.
Side Note: Don’t try to get marshmallows here, cause you won’t find them. I got the weird looks when I asked.

There are quite a few Asian supermarkets here but my family likes this one. Has a nice selection, organized well, clean and very spacious.

As this place opened recently, I’ve only visited it a few times before. This past Sunday was the first time I actually purchased something from here. We were making an unplanned early escape before the arrival of hurricane Sandy and wanted to purchase the week’s groceries. As expected, the place was crowded.
This place is similar to the other asian markets I’ve been to. It is larger than the 2 nearby asian markets but not quite as large as the ones on 8^th Avenue. The aisles are narrow and I think the layout at the cash registers can be improved for better foot traffic. Their prices are competitive and they seem to have a good selection of vegetables.
I haven’t had time to slowly browse their shelves during the past visit but I’ll visit again the next time I’m in Brooklyn.

This New York Mart just opened in Brooklyn and I love this market so far! Avenue U is a haven for Asian food and they are not short on Asian supermarkets either with 2 not too far off and another smaller New York Mart about 6 blocks further East.
This New York Mart really separates itself from the other markets because first of all, it’s HUGE for an Avenue U market! It has plenty of aisles and one of the largest selections of food I’ve seen. Second of all, since it’s new, it’s clean (for now)! I’m asian and I haven’t seen too many clean asian markets over the years with the seafood stench and unorganized foods in them.
I love the new feel to this place and, believe or not, it’s not extremely crowded so there’s plenty of space to navigate here.
