"Clean but busy Chinese grocery with a hot food bar, bakery, fresh produce, and other foods prepared daily. Best-kept secret: their frozen pork and chive dumplings for purchase. Fry them at home for a delightfully juicy, but quick appetizer while making dinner. Don't forget to pair them with Sriracha and black Chinkiang vinegar. The dace fish paste for congee or making soups is also a favorite of ours." - Barrel

"Chinatown has a bunch of incredible grocery stores, but one of our favorites is Deluxe Food Market. It stretches the length of an entire block, with entrances on both Elizabeth and Mott Streets. While there are a decent amount of packaged goods and sauces here, Deluxe Food Market is best for buying produce. Most of it is inexpensive and fresh, like an entire bag of baby bok choy for less than $1.75. They also have a great butcher counter near the Mott Street entrance." - hannah albertine, nikko duren

"Selling everything from produce to prepared foods, Deluxe Food Market is a bustling whirlwind tour of Chinese culinary fundamentals. That it also boasts a wide selection of pastries and sweets is less-known. The one-stop shop has everything from the familiar staples like egg tarts and mooncakes to less common pastries like the flaky, winter melon-filled “sweetheart” buns and moist, translucent water chestnut cakes." - John Tsung, Liza de Guia

"It’s worth braving the crowds at this perpetually jam-packed Chinese market for its vast selection of traditional fresh and frozen foods. From frozen dumplings and buns to Cantonese Peking duck and spare ribs at the butcher’s station, there’s no shortage of dishes to explore. In the ready-to-eat section, find superb zongzi, a bamboo leaf-wrapped glutinous rice dish, along with you tiao, or deep-fried dough, cloaked in sheets of fresh rice noodle and topped with scallions." - Dan Q.

I was here mainly for the large and really well stocked bakery section. Gets really busy during lunch hours, so be prepared to stand in line at the cashiers with Chinese uncles pushing you every which way! The food is really good value for money, and you would do well going here for staples like the giant BBQ pork buns over some local takeaways. I also really liked their cocktail buns. Definitely check out this place when you’re in the are. Just don’t make my mistakes and grab so much food “as a snack for later” that you spoil your dinner, lmao

My first visit last Saturday was great—the lady working that day was friendly and helpful. However, when I returned today, a different female staff member assisted me, and the service was rude. To make it worse, I was given a roast duck instead of the soy sauce duck I ordered, which I only realized when I got home. If it was unavailable, I would’ve appreciated being informed, but changing my order without asking is unacceptable!

Not your traditional supermarket. Market with a large selection of prepared and cooked Chinese dishes for takeout. Does also have a Chinese bakery on-site as well as a meat market and a small stall with vegetables. Quite a good variety of dishes available to go.

love the place for cooked food section... I visit NYC have to stop by here to buy their beef noodles and fried rice, sticky rice and roast pork lunch box... not just for the surprising fair price but the amazing taste food!!! Beef noodle seem dried without soup but once I got back home, just add a bit water and dumped whole box of beef and noodle in to reheat....! my goodness, the best beef noodle soup I haven't had for a long long time!!! though the beef is tough so i steamed it before dumping into the soup pot, all good except the container was leaking, all soup got on both myself and the cashier!!! still will go back to buy more next time i go to NYC! Everything is so good especially the roast pork rice and now beef noodle is my new fav!

Deluxe Food Market is a large bazaar of cooked foods and grocery items in Chinatown. there are a lot of vendors serving up bbq meats, various savory dishes over rice, and so much more. this place is crowded and is fairly narrow given the throngs of people flowing through. the front area has mostly cooked foods. the back lower area seems to have grocery items likes vegetables, butchered meats and more. the space is pretty worn-in but kept relatively clean given the foot traffic. wanted some light snacks, so i got some pan-fried pancakes and roasted pork rice noodle rolls. basically you select at the foods that you want and the stand packages it up and you pay at cashier located centrally in the front area. everything is packaged up neatly. the rice rolls were $3 and two pan-fried pancakes were $3. both hit the spot as i wanted some comfort food with flavor and i was not disappointed. you can definitely come here and get a full meal or family style meal to-go as most cooked items are sold by weight. definitely will come back to try some more eats as there’s so much to pick and choose from. the staff is pretty curt and works fast bc it is so busy.

Only those who endured periods of starvation in past decades could tolerate such a harsh attitude. I don’t believe young people could eat without dignity. Under such conditions, the food itself would be repulsive, and eating it would make them feel sick. It would only become more disgusting with every bite I’m here for the first time, and it will also be my last.

Cashier discriminates and violates the human right law to us! My dad was there shopping and when he is about to check out some meat and groceries with valid credit card, the female young girl looked over his card over and over then asked for his ID!! How dare would she ask a legit customer his ID like that when he was only purchasing groceries, not alcohol, tobacco products, bidis, and gutka or whatever. And My dad was told that’s the store policy. Ok, if that’s the CASE, we ask the manager of this store to formally explain their full policy, not to mention New York City Consumer Protection Law and New York State Human Rights Law essentially said “Stores cannot require you to show your ID to purchase something with a credit card” !

What an amazing place. You can get meat, fish, groceries and there's a food hall where they sell soups and congee. There's also an awesome bakery with traditional hong kong pastries that I haven't seen in years.

Great casual food market in Chinatown. A lot of Chinese hot food classics that are packed to order. There are some prepackaged options as well. And a bakery section. No seating, but some tables to stand at and eat. Everything is reasonably priced. I got Nuomiji, which came with 2 lotus wrapped portions for around $6. It was filled with chicken, mushroom, and egg. A lot of rice, but a decent amount of filling as well (though the filling could've been seasoned more). I saw a massive roast pork bun for around $2.5 as well but I didn't pick it up. $10 credit card minimum

John C.

Yelp

Not the place for me. Each time I try to buy something from here some old lady always pushes herself in front of me when I'm finally about to order. The staff does nothing and ignores me when I tell my order. Also their prices is only a few cents cheaper than other grocery stores with food and the zhongzhi isn't any better; very little filling.

Hidden in the lesser known to tourist area of Manhattan's Chinatown district, this place is a great stop for quick bites, baked goods and fresh veggies/fruits. It is a long and narrow market with fresh produce , meats and seafood on one end and ready made food on the other. You can exit/enter from two different streets. Service is quick and no frills- but prices are very good. You are literally paying half price to comparables on Canal Street. Don't expect anything fancy- this is mostly a locals spot but well worth a visit for the taste and price.

The Deluxe Food Market is a Chinese market that has peking duck, roasted pork, a hot food bar, a bakery, a selection of produce, and raw and marinated meats/seafood. You can definitely find parts of the animal that you won't normally be able to find in mainstream grocery stores. We saw many people standing around and eating some hot food from the bar; there were older grandmas getting meats from the butcher section, haggling with the butchers. I did notice that the meats did look fresh and the prices seem pretty competitive. Just note that the place is super pungent, so those who are sensitive to smells would have issues. The place is also jampacked with people, so navigating through can be a bit difficult. There are two entry/exit points, so you can literally go through and exit on the other side. +competitively-priced meats/seafood

Not LGBTQ friendly and unsafe Hi, I was a customer at this supermarket yesterday on August 13th 2024, and got verbally insulted and sexually assaulted by one of the male staff working in the meat distribution section. When I was walking in from the entrance door, he saw me and yelled out discriminatory and sexually inappropriate comments at me. I was in white jumpsuit pants and dressed femme as a trans person. He literally called me "Big brother" and insulted me. This is not an LGBTQ friendly and safe space and I would highly advise to avoid coming into this supermarket if you want unfriendly employees leaving inappropriate comments towards the way how you dress and gender expressions.

First of all the place is sparkling clean. You must check it out everything is fresh and we'll assorted .I totally recommend it.

I visited Manhattan, New York last week. I shopped for food in this store every day. I really like the bakery there: shredded beef bun ($2.5), fluff roll ($2.5), roast pork bun ($2.5), twin bread ($4.5). Pork duck egg congee ($3.75) is also very good. This bakery is part of my good memories for Manhattan.

Tara S.

Always wanted to try this place and today I did just that. I took a little stroll through the market to admire the culture and product offerings . On my way out I decided to grab a snack before dinner since I was starving . Crystal shrimp dumplings. I was a bit scared of not being able to communicate but the lady got it right . The lady at the cashier was also friendly

Wow after 6 years walking in NYC I finally stumbled across one of the cheapest places in Chinatown to get a meal! For just a mere $3 you get a "Special Vegetable" container which contains a mish mash/hodgepodge of random meats and veggies! While I could taste the MSG in the food, this is a cheap no frills, no bars place to score a cheap meal. They also sell alot of other items such as frozen fish, bbq pork, duck, buns etc.

This place is, in a word, bustling. In fact yesterday was the only the 2nd time I've been in there and haven't been jostled around by people passing in front and behind me like a billiard ball being bounced around the table. That's because this place is the spot. If you want excellent roast duck or pork you can find it here along with sushi, dumplings, buns and other prepared food. Okay full disclosure. I have bought some pork there that was mostly burned. But most the times it's on point. Couple times I've gotten some of the boxed items and they were a bit off but most of the times they're on point. You can also get great vegetables and house made frozen dumplings. I haven't bought any of their pastries are baked goods so I can't attest to those. But it's definitely worth the visit. I was actually treated relatively well. Not great all the time but nothing so offensive that I didn't want to come back. And I'm good for letting you know when the customer service I've received is offensive or off putting.

This place has amazingly fresh produce and meat, and roast meats! Takes CC w ID. I love the soy sauce chicken here; couldn't find the duck (but also didn't ask!)

Ann L.

This has been my favorite Chinese market for many years. We love and recommend the: - Marinated meats and fish that you can freeze. There are soooo many options- We usually get the Pork Ribs, Chicken & Mushrooms, Marinated Porkchops, Beef Slices, Pig Tongue, Marinated white fish. So delicious and we find the meat fresh and tasty. I still have not been able to find comparable marinated meats/fish in Sunset Park or Flushing. - Fresh Chinese vegetables, which are pretty clean with minimal dirt and need around 2 washes. - The BBQ meats: We go for the BBQ Duck, BBQ Pork (Cha Siu), Soy Sauce Chicken (runs out by the afternoon). Don't recommend the Roast Pork Belly (Siu Yuk) because they sneakily put the best slices on top then 80% fatty inedible pieces underneath and out of view. - Sticky Rice wrapped in Bamboo Leaf with meat and no peanuts. - Dumplings: Pork and Shrimp (yellow label) and green Veggie dumplings Cons: - When packed it can get super overwhelming with pushy and loud people with their 2-wheeled grocery carts who have no concept of lines and personal space. You have to be aggressive to get what you want when you order at the counters and pay - The cashiers are soooooo rude and do not give a flying F! - Some of the hot premade food, such as the Sweet and Sour Pork, are OK and are more fast-food level quality with not the best ingredients. Note: - Minimum $10 for credit card - They either charge for bags or don't even offer them. I like their super durable branded laminated tote bag, can carry a lot!

I only come here when I am in a rush and need a quick bite or need some side dishes for meals at home. They have a large selection of cooked dishes for a low price!! Always a line of people that would be the only downside.

Good location. The market is not too big but it was organized. I can easily find the things that I want to buy. Also, the working staff are approachable and always willing to help you. There's this one day I went here and I'm in a rush, I appreciate this one lady in assisting me with my needs. Thank you so much!

I go to Chinatown at least once a week or once every two weeks and this is my must go to market. It's a one stop shop for fruits, vegetables, meat, sauces, frozen food, cooked food, and breads. They have everything you can think of. I'm amazed at the amount and variety of cooked food and breads that they make daily. It's not far from the Grand St train station. I suggest you come here in the AM as early as possible since it gets very crowded. They accept credit cards with your ID.

Andy L.

Affordable made to order food and grocery market! Well worth! Chinese bbq is delicious and the curry chicken puff pastry is amazing! If it's not hot just bring it home and reheat in the oven or air fryer!

Joyce L.

Yelp

This is my go to spot for all kinds of food & groceries. Food is great, but be prepared to be shoved around by focused Chinese NYers and brutally efficient staff. Depending on the time of day, the store is incredibly busy, so you'll need to be assertive trying to get the food you want. In the food area, decide what food you want with your rice box, then flag down a staff member behind the counters and get what you want. It helps if you're tall. If you're able to get a hand on the food, I promise you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend the fried pork buns.

Kristin L.

Yelp

Quality has gone down severely in recent years. The roast duck is a waste of money because the majority of it was inedible fat with hardly two bites of actual duck meat. The meat buns are now comprised of 80% white flour, with barely any meat filling. Went to grab some bread the other day and had to take one of the boxes up to a worker to show her there was mold in it. I hate ragging on a business that's served Chinatown for so long but this is not the first time I've noticed the declining quality. Please do better.

Betty L.

Yelp

Literally a one stop shop supermarket. They have a butcher, fish market, fresh vegetables, bakery, cooked foods plus more. This place is always ridiculously busy and you have to be quick if you want service. They have a really large selection of cooked foods and that is really the only reason I come here. I have to say since this place can be a mad house you have to be ready to be pushed around a bit to see what cooked food is available. Once you find what you want you have to be quick to get someone's attention to serve you. After getting your food be ready to wait on line to pay. It can be long slow lines but its worth it.

Hank C.

Yelp

Open during this Covid19 crisis, though with limited hours. Social distancing? Not so much, but they ask everyone to wear a mask and gloves. Delicious meats (though much less quantity cooked daily - they said less clients, less food out) - but cheap vegetables and reasonable quality make this a go-to grocery in the Chinatown. Freshly cut up pork, fish, chicken and other meats are the main draw of a long meat counter. The veggies and frozen foods are an incidental benefit, and the hot food counter you can get a number of pre-cooked dishes by the pound (or lunch specials). Small bakery, too, by the door. Excellent choice to explore. Note if you go too early (we went at opening at 9:30a), they don't hav ea lot of meat out yet, a lot of it still coming out for later (or was the ones they had out for last night). Still, great place for all the basic meats and cuts that you won't find at a Shoprite or American grocery.

Prices keep going up, quality goes down. For example, the dim sum beef meat balls cost $4.99 (with 3 beef meat balls), 95% starch....amazing. It is like eating donut....

Jacky C.

Yelp

This is one of those markets where you can get those Asian meat and seafood you normally can not get at your typical Whole Foods or Trader Joes. Even if they're sold at said markets, they're a lot cheaper here. With that said, don't expect the space to be nice at all. It is super packed and the two long aisles they have are super narrow. It's also chaotic af when it comes to paying for the produce. There's a bakery and hot foods section on the upper North section while the meat, seafood sections are all at the lower South section. Their limited produce section are somewhere in between. Bakery items sell out fast so get there before noon.

Mya H.

Very good prices for meats and fish. The steamed buns are a good value. It may be hard to find pantry items, but they have lots of options for fresh and frozen ingredients.

Elsa C.

Compare to other Chinese grocery shop, deluxe food market is so much cleaner. They have more meat selection as well. I love their wonton, and meat slice. Very fresh! Their cooked food taste really good as well. It's always crowded but good food shop some Chinese grocery

Yelp

So so so delicious. I regret not going here more when I was visiting New York. The food is so authentic and cheap too. I got the fried dough (you tiao) and it's the best ones I've ever had. Crunchy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. Picked up some soy milk to eat with it too. I also got the tripe salad and other dim sum dishes and they were equally amazing. I wish I could've gotten more stuff from there cuz it all looked and smelled delicious. I literally couldn't choose what to get because I wanted it all. Can't say enough good things about the food here.

Ann T.

Yelp

Don't buy their rice box for lunch or any cooked food. I got their sweet & sour ribs, with veggies & added sweet & sour chicken on rice. I found a small roach. I thought it was just a small burnt piece on the sweet & sour ribs but when I looked at it closely I was the legs & antennae. Had the throw my lunch away. So unclean.

Lori N.

Yelp

You can definitely find something you'd like to eat here, if you like Chinese food. Traditional down home Cantonese food, that is. Whenever I'm in Manhattan's Chinatown, I make a stop here because it's a fun place to look, and I always find a little something delicious to nosh on here. Always. Lots to choose from, including traditional deli items, and even sushi. I got their Chinese tamale this time around, and it was really good. I wish I had come here before getting one just ten minutes beforehand that paled in comparison. As a result, I ate one and a half of these filling tamales, which ruined my plans for an early dinner. Just know that this place is super packed, loud and that employees speak very little English. Also throw in some folks who may try to blatantly cut you in line. If you're not accustomed to this type of setting, you may feel a little uncomfortable. When I first began dating my Husband and brought him here, he said he felt super uncomfortable. Fast forward a few years later, he says he feels at home in places like this now. If you've never been here, I'd say it's worth a stop whenever you're in Chinatown. For me, it's a great option to a sit down restaurant. You'll spend less, and actually see and select the food you'll be having. If you don't like it, you don't need to worry about not finishing an entire entree.

This is my go to market for veggies and raw meat. It's almost an one-stop shop for everything you will need for your regular home made meals. If you don't feel like cooking, there is also a long hot food station although I haven't tried those as they look a little greasy. Occasionally I will buy their roast pork or chicken legs by the entrance on Elizabeth Street. And if you plan to host a big hot pot dinner party, this is the place to shop from premium sliced beef, lamb, chicken, pork to dumplings to fish balls to all kinds of vegetables. New discovery today: I never knew they make fresh rice rolls from scratch and on demand. It's similar to the popular rice noodle cart across the street in the corner but these taste even better. I asked for the shrimp rice roll and I had to wait almost 10 mins as they needed to roll the rice dough and steam it. And for $2 an order, I'm going to be coming back again and again! PS: this is a mad house but if you go between 10:30am and 11:30am, you may have a bit of luck in getting out of there with a full load of grocery in a shorter time. Reason? People already finish their shopping for lunch and the lunch crowd hasn't showed up yet. It's all about timing and having a good exit strategy!

Citlali A.

Just adore this store. It doesn't have eeeevery single staple, but it does have most. There's a huge array of hot and ready to eat food, pre made/mixed meats to cook with. Highly suggest a visit to this store if you're looking for meats, seafood and the like. There's also a great array of fresh greens, and noodles. Not too much in the way of fruit, sauces, or spices, but most other items for mega prep are available. Cash and card accepted.

Found this jem while walking around China town. I was attempting to find a jewler to fix a broken chain(China town jewelry stores are the best at fixing gold and silver jewlery). I ordered a lunch box which starts off with white rice no substitutions.. I choose a meat an vegetables to go with my white rice, only 4.70. I thought this was to good to be true, are they using expired or substandard products? Well i choose a long green vegetable you can see it in the picture similar to bok choy, delicious steamed and then tossed in some oil with garlic flavor delicious. For the meat I choose beef shirtrib in a black pepper sauce OMG. The meat comes with a sauce meant to be eaten with rice. Nice size portion, able to fill up most awesome! The place overall is a supermarket, a very loud supermarket always filled with customers.i wouldn't recommend eating here unless you really have to. They have a couple of spaces so people can eat. This business has two entrances one is located on 81 elizabeth and the other on the next block. Massive selection on hot ready food can't wait to try something else!

Jina M.

Yelp

Always so fun to explore this place! And the food is so cheap and so tasty at the same time. Tried the cod and it was surprisingly delicious. The tendon is quite good too. The vegetable, also cooked very well. And a huge box of rice for $2ish. What a bargain meal!

Ella R.

Yelp

Deluxe Food Market has my heart. It is my go-to for a cheap Chinese meal or snack. Your options: cooked duck, fried pork belly, pre-made dinners with veggies and meats, pan fried dumplings, all the Chinese pastries, youtiao (deep fried dough), sushi (not Chinese but OK), zongzi (rice and fillings steamed in bamboo leaves), scallion pancake, etc. + youtiao: always warm throughout the day and comes as a stick or cut up and wrapped by rice rolls. Youtiao here is on the oiler side. + The food here is super cheap. They take both cash and debit card. Eg: 12 oz soybean milk for $1.25, scallion pancake for $2.25, and twist dough for $1.50.

Henry T.

Yelp

Wow, where do I begin? This place has been a quintessential part of Chinatown for as long as I can remember. You can grab just about anything here from freshly-baked bakery goods in the morning, to cooked lunches during the afternoon to spices, sauces, seafood, vegetables and meat from the butchers. The only downfall about this place is how packed it often is. I stood with my friend at one of the tables to eat our rice boxes and had to dodge a good amount of people trying to purchase their groceries. If a place is packed with locals, you know it's good. The buffet and bakery are my favorite parts of this market. The food at the buffet are seasoned perfectly, authentically Chinese and pairs well with a bed of rice. Today, I purchase a rice box with 2 choices of meat and 1 choice of vegetable for only $5.25. That's a steal! The baked-goods are often made fresh in the basement and sent up. I look forward to trying out the cakes and breads from the bakery section. Will definitely be back here!

Gosh darn it. Why I gotta visit Deluxe Food Market when I'm not hungry? It is crowded but food is a great carry out with lots of options. Plenty of breakfast items too. This is the hot bar. They have a section with frozen food and veggies. I was blown away at the hot foods. I'm amazed at how fast paced this place is. Everything looks delicious. My friend bought a breakfast pork floss. I took a bite and it was yummy. This is a must stop area if you come to Chinatown Manhattan! 185/2019

So incredibly chaotic. People flock here for cheap groceries as well as the cooked food. There's an insane amount of cooked food selection. The lines are crazy especially around closing when they want to get rid of all the food. Everyone pushes and it's just a nightmare. But they have all kinds of styles of meat in any quantity that you desire. Nice one stop shop.

William W.

Wanted to buy a pound of roast beef and they wont open a new pack to slice the meat. They insisted to just slice the end part of the roast beef. No customer service in this place.

Now this is the go to shop in Chinatown! Perfect and very affordable selection of rice boxes! Any 3 meat and 1 veggie lunch box is only 5 dollars! Plus a huge Hong Kong market in the same store! Selling veggies, fish of all sorts, meats, delis, etc. Plus a great Cantonese peaking duck, roast pork, squid, spade rib station. And lastly a huge freaking bakery! Egg tarts! Curry puffs, cakes! Everything u can name is there. And did I say the prices are cheap and affordable!

Lily W.

Yelp

Although I like the fresh produce and meat there. But the staff are so rude, people that are behind the meat counter, to the cashier. They all act like they are doing you a favor, the tone that they use to speak to you. They will only stop being rude when you are rude back and yell at them. HOW uncivilized is that???? The store design is so tight, I understand they are trying to pack all the products in. All the pushing and pulling is NOT customer friendly. And the staff will speak so loudly to you to tell you move out the way. The store management really need to learn from Trader Joe (Westbury) and Wholefood (Manhasset). It is also very crowded there, but staff can still be nice, and polite, to say please, excuse me, and thank you.

Out of the times I have gone, this market is pretty packed, which worries me a bit during this covid period. However, they are a smaller than chain market like 99 Ranch and Hmart, but just has the many things a household needs. Ranging from cooked deli, HK roasted BBQ, pastry, raw meat, seafood, veggies, frozen dumplings, etc. acooked deli are super cheap and does it job. Nothing particular to comment about veggies and HK BBQ, but I love their meat section. They have marinated meat that are pretty tasty and convenient, but of course, those will run a little more pricey since they did the job for you. Overall, love shopping here for groceries when in the area.

Yang Y.

Yelp

My go-to market in the area for Chinese vegetables, frozen dumplings, and a quick bite for dinner from the hot buffet bar. Cheap and fresh! Just gotta assertively push your way through the human traffic jams (and beware, they push back), but it wouldn't be an authentic Chinese market any other way. Although the hot bar food is quick and cheap ($3 for a veggie container filled to the brim!), I found the food extremely oily. The bottom half of the container was filled with oil and it made the dish a bit unpleasant. $10 minimum to pay with card. Also, the lady at the cash register always tries to get me to buy some milk dessert when I check out. Appreciate the suggestion but wish she wouldn't keep pushing it on me..

Alan N.

Yelp

I love this place. This place has high quality groceries for all of your Chinese cooking. This is my go-to-place for all meats and veggies. The quality is higher than other Chinese groceries stores in Chinatown. There is also a lot of premade/cooked food for people to buy. I think this is a great place for non-Asians to buy Chinese food because it really exposes people to different types of Chinese food in manageable portions. There is such a wide selection of food that you can buy for breakfast, lunch or dinner! There's so much selection! The quality of the meats here is high. Everything looks super fresh and people are constantly buying the things so you know things are freshly made. There so much selection here. You can spend every week here and discover new things to try.

Eddie C.

Yelp

Deluxe Food Market is everything when I think of Chinatown - chaotic, reasonably priced, and delicious. The establishment functions as a food court, where there is a bevy of offerings from Chinese pastries to roast duck. You line up, order your food, and pay at a cash register. Everyone wears a mask in here during COVID times and people are pretty cautious. Go around early lunchtime because you will get the freshest meats. I highly recommend getting a pound of the roast pork or a whole roast duck to me. It's delicious!

Annie K.

Yelp

Great place to get Chinese groceries and lunch! Their wonton and steamed bread selection is really good, I love grabbing their frozen pork and shrimp wontons when I'm too lazy to make my own. Their meats are decent quality at an affordable price and you can even get short ribs, fish, etc pre-marinated and ready to cook. There's also a wide selection of vegetables, cooked meats, bakery foods, and a hot food bar where you can mix and match your options over rice, or choose fried dumplings, noodles, congee, and many more!

Chun M.

Yelp

Alright, I accept the Challenge! Objective: Traverse this Chinese market that extends through an entire city block, buy both cooked, raw & frozen foods, pay for said food at the multiple cash registers and exit out the other end. Easy, right? Now it gets interesting. Do this all without getting jostled, stomped, hip-checked or evil-eyed by little Chinese ladies half your size. Be careful though, because they are each towing a luggage cart and wield them like semi-tractor trailers, so you have to avoid getting run over by them. Think of it as a game of Frogger, but you only have one chance to get your food across the highway. Sometimes I wonder if I should wear full football padding & helmet when I go through here or maybe wear my more fashionable roller derby gear. Either way this is just like the Wipeout game show mixed with a little American Ninja Warrior. Did I talk about the food yet? The fresh made sushi is not bad and very reasonably priced. You'll find it right by the Mott St entrance. If they have any sushi left after 7pm, they mark it down 1/2 price. My favorite is the eel. Grab a few rolls, some nigiri & challenge the Chinese ladies to a death-duel with your disposable chopsticks to get out of there alive with your sushi.

This is the place to be if you're a true carnivore! If you're in search of cooked or raw meats you've hit the jackpot once you step in. On a daily basis, this market is run amok and packed with customers and mainly because this store is truly a one-stop shop for all. From roast pig, roast pork, scallion chicken, pig internal parts to frozen dumplings, raw pork/chicken/steak -- you'll find it all in their narrow aisles. If you happen to be starving and are in need of some food fuel, you're also in luck! The store has a few tables by the cooked foods section, just in case you couldn't resist digging into your purchases, which many can't do! As you walk up and down thru the store, you'll quickly realize why this is one of the more popular stores in Chinatown, especially amongst the Chinese elderly. There's nothing to not love about a store that offers everything you need ---- and love to eat!

Love that this place is a grocery store along with food court. All in one! They have fresh fish, fresh meat and fresh vegetables. Out of many asian markets this is the only place I see that is selling fresh squid (need to buy some for curry squid). I used the food court to buy sushi and hot foods. Please avoid the fried noodles it tastes HORRIBLE at a price of 3$. Yes they give you a lot of noodles but after 2 bites, I couldn't down anymore. My grandmother who is never picky tried it and couldn't eat it either. Maybe they had a bad batch but no thanks, completely avoiding. The sushi and sesame chicken was good though. The service was just fine, if you're staring at a specific dish they ask if you would like it. Nothing special, not too friendly nor too rude. I will return to try more food and purchase grocery as they have so many food choices.

This is where I go to buy prepared and fresh produce and meats. Favorites include their steamed rice noodles prepared in front of your eyes, sweet 'n sour/steamed pork ribs, fish head and tofu, fried taro cake, fried dumpling buns. Unlike American establishments that use preservatives and chemicals, Chinatown food places do not so there's no funny or acidic taste. Note that prepared dishes like their fried noodles contain a lot of salt of if you're on a low sodium diet, their prepared foods are not for you. Their sushi is not as good as real sushi restaurants (not enough sugar and vinegar if any in the rice) but much better and less expensive (~20% less) than ShopRite and Stop 'n Shop's sushi. The supermarket ones use cold rice that has little flavor, and the fish slices are thinner and smaller, and more expensive! Their baked goods are ~ 25% more expensive than the bakeries that only accept cash so I go to them instead.

This place is a life-saver. First of all: that hot food section! $4.50 gets your choice of a meat dish and a veg dish over rice, $5.25 for two meats and a veg. Food is generally pretty tasty! There can also be total steals found here--don't know if it's an end of the day thing, but I've gotten a whole carton of cooked food (it's kind of a grab bag, these are the pre-packed cartons usually labeled "Special Vegetable" and it's not always apparent exactly what's there since one carton can hold two or three different dishes) for $2.50-$5.00 each, and these things are heavy! If you're picky, probably not the best option to pick these pre-packed ones though. True, there isn't really a line for getting the hot food so you've gotta make sure to get the staff's attention and know what you want--they've got no patience for the wishy-washy! I hear the dumplings are delicious, and I like their roast pig with the crispy skin. They've also got a huge selection of fresh and frozen meat of every kind at very reasonable prices. There are also fresh vegetables sold here and frozen dumplings. Granted, this place gets PACKED. But that's mainly because it's just one long narrow hallway that runs between Mott St. (meat side) and Elizabeth St (hot food side). Be prepared to get knocked around by rolling carts and large bags--it's part of the experience.

Prices keep going up, quality goes down. For example, the dim sum beef meat balls cost $4.99 (with 3 beef meat balls), 95% starch....amazing. It is like eating donut....

Very good prices for meats and fish. The steamed buns are a good value. It may be hard to find pantry items, but they have lots of options for fresh and frozen ingredients.

Wanted to buy a pound of roast beef and they wont open a new pack to slice the meat. They insisted to just slice the end part of the roast beef. No customer service in this place.
