Deluxe Meat Market

A granddaughter writing a review for her grandpa lol. We bought the ready made dishes for a quick and easy dinner and the sweet and sour pork was ALL fat. Not a single piece had lean meat on it. Quite scammy because you can hide the meat under breading and sauce so you don’t notice. (And yes, I but into 15+ pieces to make sure)

They have the best freshest meat I’ve found yet in Chinatown, almost every cut of pork you can ask for, also their hotpot sliced meat in the freezer section is by far the freshest for the same price or cheaper as the other big supermarkets

My partner and I have been coming here for our weekly grocery runs for three years now, and it is very safe to say this place is the BEST meat shop in Manhattan. Not only does it serve a wide variety of meats and cuts, most importantly the meats also come very fresh, if not the freshest in the city. What sets this meat shop further apart from others is its very helpful and friendly workers - and as an Asian, I can confident say that "friendly" workers in Chinatown are RARE - and its extremely affordable prices, even with inflation running rampant. We will keep coming back for sure.

Come here if you want to get dosed with terrible attitude. Workers respond to questions with smirks, unnecessary gaslighting commentary or ignore you. They don't look like they are enjoying their jobs and take it out on their customers. The workers don't know that I understand what they are saying in their local language. Brazenly screaming, yelling, attacking customers integrity WITHOUT any attempts to understand or resolve issues is uncalled for and speaks to the ethics of these workers. regardless or race, they do it to everyone. I've hesitated to write a review to give them a benefit of the doubt since this is a local chinatown establishment and we know that the community can use more business post Covid but this type of harassment has been going on repeatedly. Shop at the other markets across the street that welcome your business and deserve your business.

Very bad customer service, The cashier who served me was rude. She shoved the basket back to me when I placed it on the counter saying to take out the food from the basket and that is no problem. When I asked for a bag she didn’t want to help the food in a plastic bag I purchased from her, I had to do everything by myself. The cashier had no greetings and no thank you. The interaction was upsetting and I will not be going back there anymore.

Have been shopping in this place since the 1990s, always crowded. Very hard to get service at the hot food counter. The bakery now pre-packaged foods so customers just pick up without waiting for help. Tables here should be removed to help with the flow of crowds. The hot food counter should do the same so people don't have to wait for service and created a crowded situation, just to get customers out the door. Management should solve the persisted over-crowding problem decades ago Edited: Most cooked foods are too salty, including scallion chicken. This wasn't the case in previous years.

Crowded unruly customers. They must think the Pandemic is over. Staff is equally ignorant and aloof. Many do not wear masks. Meat products have short shelf life. Vegetables are fresh. Cooked food options have to eaten very quickly. Generally high in salt content. BBQ is on the dry side.

Good place to shop & not pricey. Lots of variety of cooked food. Don't buy dim sum made of beef. It doesn't taste like beef. Spare ribs dim sum is bad, too. Their black sesame roll, egg tarts, roast pork mini pie, chicken mini pie is very good. California roll is fresh.

Came here on a weekend at lunch. Left very full and satisfied. Bring cash! The place was absolutely packed from front to back. Expect many locals getting through or ordering before you if you aren't ready! I'd recommend planning what to order before you get up to the counter. Also, they don't speak english (only canto), but either grabbing a prepacked item or pointing works pretty well! Was shocked by the prices - they were much lower than expected, and even some of the lowest in chinatown! Roast duck half - $16, whole $31. probably the cheapest (and arguably best) counter roast duck Ive had in chinatown. Note since the duck was packaged it wasn't hot, which was a little sad but still yummy. 1 entree 1 veggie - 7$, plus 1$ extra for chow fun instead of rice. Sooooo yummy and flavorful! This was enough food for 2 meals, if not 3. Was shocked by the variety of food there was to choose from - they had all the classics and more! I got the stir fried veggies and hong shao rou. No seating, but there are a few tables to stand and eat at. They take card over $10, but since lots of their items are under $10 i'd recommend bringing cash. Also note the check out line can take a while, the grannies and grandpas take their time! :) Overall would definitely come back soon to this local food hall. Note their grocery store section, despite being smaller than places like hk supermarket, had some of the brands of sauces I had been looking for and couldnt find elsewhere! Additional point.

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

This market is busy, filled with people, and can be pretty overwhelming. However, there is a large section of boxes goods and prepared foods you can order. If you can get lucky, as for the fluffy scallion pancakes. They have plain and beef filled, but I think plain is better if you can get your hands on it! Nothing fancy, but it's supposed to be only $2 each, and you can't beat that for a warm bread.

They have the fluffiest scallion pancake - it's SO good and it's only $2. There is a lot of people because it's a market but go in and try it. The line to pay is long but still worth it.

Today I bought the three-pear pack on sale. I handed a pack to the salesperson in the front of the shop and he replaced the one I picked with another pack with a rotten pear. Watch out.

This is a great Asian market! I can get hot food to eat right away or pick up groceries to share at home. Whenever I travel to NYC I end up here to get a few bites to eat right away and always take home some dried meat. The dried meat is the best to make a nice "bow zi fan" which is a bowl of rice with all the flavors of the meat!

Impressive range and variety of grocery/market items as well as prepared foods. Very popular and busy. Food was ok, good but not extremely notable, especially for the area. Would return to try other items and would definitely recommend to others to try.

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.

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.

Solid spot - you can probably find similar quality items at various other stores around the area, but the convenience of having roasts / a hot bar / dessert / a bakery all in one place is the draw here. Speedy service but some amount of nudging + squeezing required when it's crowded per standard Chinatown etiquette.

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

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.

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.

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 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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!)

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.

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.

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....

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

SUPER cheap food, quality was alright. this is a place you can go for a quick cheap meal, toms of options too

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.

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..

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
