Pros: Carries a great variety of imported food from the Mediterranean (i.e. Greek honey and spices,…read moreItalian beans/flour, Turkish pistachio spread). I would come here specifically for those type of items - that's the highlight of this grocery store. Cons: Those 6 parking spots in the front are coveted AF (to quote Dylan from the TV show Severance). I've almost seen a few fights breaks out over those spots, and in my opinion it's not worth it because people don't know how to reverse out of the spot and will end up scraping the side of your car. No trip to Raspberry Farm is complete without honking at someone or getting honked at - it's part of the experience. Also, as other reviewers have said, many of the items on the shelves are expired. Be sure to always check the expiration date of anything you buy.

If you accept going to this international supermarket as a visit to a third world country (in…read moreWhitestone) you can enjoy excellent prices on imported goods and everyday grocery items. Strong representation from Greece in the form of cheeses, oils, grains, olives, and specialty items. Turkish, Moroccan and Spanish/Latin American groceries show up when available. High-quality imported Italian pasta, tomatoes, snacks, crackers, sweets. Entire wall of nuts and dried fruits, good section of hard to find flours like chickpea and potato. Now and then a random item shows up on sale, offering a chance to sample a new olive oil or balsamic vinegar. Very good job bringing seasonal imports in around the holidays - pandoro, panettone, torrone. Caveats are: freshness of produce is hit or miss, and ALWAYS check the expiration dates as sometimes older stuff stays in stock.

Overall, a very solid gardening center in Queens. They have a great selection of Christmas trees…read moreand wreaths during the holidays. Prices, of course, will be higher than big-box stores like Home Depot, but it's nice to support your local small business.

Recently moved near the area and can confidently say that this is one of the best grocery stores…read more Items, especially the produce and meats, are super fresh -- and the bread! Decent options and they give us the most recently sliced bread they have. It sometimes gets more busy during the day than I expect, but I've determined it's usually retired/older individuals or people WFH. Only reason I gave four stars: it's a bit pricy for certain items (e.g. small spinach bundles for $5 each). I could get 2-3x bigger organic bundles at Whole Foods for half the price.

North Shore Farms is the perfect supermarket. Especially their meat department which is oftentimes…read morewell-stocked with prime rated meats. They have an exceptional sprawling seafood section offering a wide range of wild-caught domestic and imported seafood. Did I mention their curated but plentiful selection of cheeses? Entering the store makes me feel as though I'm in a farmer's market. A wide variety of greens, fruits and veggies engulfs shoppers. About a third of their produce department is dedicated to organics. I typically visit the Beachurst/Whitestone store when I'm in town. Plenty of parking in the plaza along with several other stores that I patronize. May I suggest that this supermarket is worth the trip, even if you're coming from further away.

99 Ranch Market is an awesome destination for authentic Asian grocery shopping and vibrant food…read moreculture. The market offers a remarkably diverse selection of fresh Chinese vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, specialty greens, and imported ingredients that are often difficult to find in other traditional supermarkets. Their fresh bok choy, Chinese broccoli to lotus root, taro, bitter melon, and exotic mushrooms are so fresh! Never seen such a great selection! The seafood department is particularly impressive and worth the trip. Large live tanks are filled with fresh green crabs, lobsters, clams, oysters, shrimp, and a wide variety of whole fishes. For seafood lovers, this section alone is worth the visit. Downstairs, you can find their food court with multiple vendors offering Chinese comfort food, noodles, dumplings, bubble tea, roasted meats, and freshly prepared dishes at very reasonable prices. The staff mostly speak Chinese, which was great for me practicing my basic few sentences. The store also offers some special discounts.

"Security" stopped certain racial groups to check their receipt and let others go without checking. Last I looked, that's called "profiling". While New Age started well, (my Chinese/Thai wife shopped here) it's turned into what feels like a complete dump with images running the asylum.

Complaint Regarding Extremely Unprofessional and Threatening Behavior…read moreStore: New Age Market I had an extremely upsetting and unacceptable experience at the meat department of this store, and I feel it is necessary to report it. I initially asked for approximately 5 pounds of pork. The first staff member refused to sell by weight and insisted that I must order by "number of pieces." I explained that as a customer, I do not know the exact weight of each piece and that other supermarkets normally sell by pounds. He responded impatiently and arbitrarily gave me two pieces. Then I asked for about 5 pounds of pork chops. The same staff member again refused and demanded that I specify the number of slices. When I questioned this unreasonable requirement, his attitude became confrontational. A second staff member joined and, instead of helping, supported the first employee and argued with me. He even asked, "Are you buying or not?" When I said I would file a complaint, he told me, "Then don't buy." This is completely unacceptable customer service. A third staff member initially agreed to help weigh 5 pounds for me. However, when I mentioned that I would report the previous employees, he refused to serve me as well, saying that if I complained, he would not help me either. This clearly shows unprofessional and retaliatory behavior. I then went to the front desk to ask for a manager. The staff member there was unhelpful at first and said she was busy. After I waited, she told me she would try to find a manager, but later informed me that no manager was available and could not tell me when one would be present. I waited for a long time, but no one took responsibility. Eventually, the front desk staff member said she would help me get the meat weighed, and I went back to the meat department with her. At that point, the third staff member finally weighed approximately 5 pounds of pork chops for me. However, when I attempted to take photos to document this incident, the third staff member suddenly became aggressive. He lifted the bag of pork chops and raised it directly toward my head in a striking motion, as if attempting to hit me, while demanding to know why I was taking photos. This behavior was clearly threatening and made me feel unsafe. After receiving the pork chops, I immediately left the counter to avoid further confrontation. Key Issues: * Refusal to accommodate reasonable purchasing requests (by weight) * Rude, confrontational, and dismissive behavior from multiple employees * Staff refusing service after I mentioned filing a complaint * Lack of management presence or accountability * Threatening and aggressive behavior by the third employee This experience was extremely distressing. I expect this issue to be taken seriously, and I strongly urge management to investigate this incident, address staff conduct, and ensure that no customer is subjected to such treatment or intimidation in the future.

We got the ginger milk pudding. Do think it's a bit pricey ($10) since it's an easy dessert to make but I guess it's all the theatrics. They pour the dessert in front of you and put a sand glass on top. Once sand glass is done, so is the dessert and you can even rest a spoon on top. The dessert is very smooth, barely a solid, and its ginger taste is very strong- which I like. Strong ginger but pairs well with the milk and good amount of sugar. It is a bit spicy but I like it this way. They do have a lot of other desserts as well as savory items on the menu. Intrigued by their savory menu and will definitely come back to try them next time.

I visited around 1:30pm and, unlike many busy markets in Flushing, the atmosphere was lively without feeling chaotic or overcrowded. Maybe i was there at the time? Their fresh produce section is extensive, seafood selection impressive, and there is an abundance of Asian snacks, sauces, noodles, frozen specialties, and hard-to-find ingredients from across Asia. Prices were also quite reasonable considering the quality and variety. This said, their tiger fish was at $54.50 a pound which is on the high end of the market. A major plus is the excellent food court, offering a wide range of delicious options perfect for a quick lunch or snack after shopping. Overall, JMart delivers a very Asian authentic shopping experience right in the heart of Flushing. This is the go to place for my mother in law.

Skyfoods is one of my more preferred Asian supermarkets because of its relative spaciousness and…read morecleanliness compared to other places selling similar items. They also carry a number products and brands less commonly found in other Chinese supermarkets. This Skyfoods is one of a few locations, two in Flushing and one in Elmhurst; this one sits on the first floor of the Shops at Skyview on College point Avenue in downtown Flushing. Walking in from the main entrance to the shops this is kinda hidden towards the back of the building. It's nice that it doesn't usually get too crowded. They give free parking in the structure if you shop and buy over $40. What's nice similar to some other larger Asian grocery stores (Hmart, Mitsuwa) is they sometimes do sampling stations on weekends where they showcase a handful of products. My last purchase of a box of Asian pears was because I got to try a couple pieces of sweet fruit so I felt confident in picking up a box. Aside from fresh produce, meat and seafood, dried, canned and packaged foods, they have relatively larger refrigerated foods and tea/drinks and snack sections. See pics of some interesting products. Also for example they carry some instant powdered sweet fruit (jujube, sour plum) teas here I don't find in other places, and for that reason alone I make a trip here every so often.
