Super G Mart on Independence is one of Charlotte's most fun grocery adventures…read more If you love exploring new ingredients, discovering international snacks, or simply wandering through aisles you've never seen before, this place is worth the trip. While the Pineville location remains my favorite thanks to its larger food hall and dining options, the Independence store still delivers an impressive experience. The selection is enormous. You'll find fresh produce from around the world, exotic fruits and vegetables, live seafood, blue crabs, an on-site fishmonger, and a full-service butcher counter. The international grocery selection is where this store really shines. Aisles are packed with staples from across Asia, Europe, Latin America, and beyond. Whether you're shopping for Thai curry paste, Vietnamese rice noodles, Japanese snacks, Korean sauces, Spanish ingredients, or Eastern European treats, chances are you'll find it here. One feature I especially enjoy is the freezer section. The cases are organized by country and cuisine, making it easy to browse and discover new foods. It's a small detail, but it turns grocery shopping into a bit of an adventure. On this visit, I came specifically for Korean black bean paste, dark soy sauce, and fresh green beans. Naturally, I left with a few extras. The candy aisle is dangerous in the best possible way. Their coconut candies are always tempting, and I can never resist grabbing a bag of Thai coffee candies while I'm there. The store has a large private parking lot and a loyalty program that offers additional discounts at checkout. If you're a frequent shopper, it's worth signing up. Is it as polished as some specialty markets? No. Is it one of the most interesting grocery stores in Charlotte? Absolutely. Give yourself time when you visit. This isn't the kind of place where you run in for one item and leave five minutes later. It's a place to wander, explore, and discover something new around every corner. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte. Grab a cart, take your time, and eat your way through Super G Mart.

What a fantastic find!! Okay, so we saw this grocery store on Top Chef, but I was so glad we were…read moreable to stop by. The store is huge and offers so much variety. The produce was beautiful. The shelves were well stocked. They also seemed to have a great selection of meat options. Everything I looked at seemed to be priced really well. I would love a store like this close to me. If they are out here, I need to start searching. The woman at the checkout was not particularly warm or welcoming. She didn't acknowledge us and I don't remember her actually saying a word as she checked the groceries. Otherwise, this place was wonderful!

I am furious and deeply disappointed with how I was treated during my most recent visit. After…read moreyears of shopping here every single week, I was accused yes, accused! of stealing my own daughter's juice bottle that I brought in from the car. The cashier didn't ask kindly, didn't clarify, just immediately assumed the worst and treated me with blatant disrespect in front of my children. To make matters even more infuriating, my elderly mother who was just trying to help separate our groceries had a plastic divider thrown at her by the cashier, who barked, "If you aren't paying for the other customer's groceries, you need to put that down." Excuse me?? Who talks to anyone, let alone a senior, like that? The entire transaction was hostile, uncomfortable, and humiliating. I was shaken, my daughter was upset, and it was clear this employee had no interest in basic decency or customer service. To top it all off and I wish this was an exaggeration multiple items in the produce section had visible MOLD. I originally wasn't going to say anything I was just going to assume maybe it was a bad time to shop and they just maybe didn't change things over but I started looking around and wondering, how many others have been mistreated...It feels like this place is completely falling apart in so many ways. We used to know this store so well I could list off prices without looking. But I'll gladly save myself the extra out of the way 15-minute drive now and head to Super G Mart where there's better variety, better prices, respectful staff, and an amazing bakery and hot food section. This place? It's become a complete and utter disgrace. I'm never coming back. Ever.

I noticed they even had a lot of Filipino items tons of different hot, sauces, and chilies and just a lot of good stuff tons of options they even sold beer and saki, which I thought was pretty cool. The cashiers were even pretty friendly. They do have a club membership deal kind of like most of our major grocery stores in the area so you can get discounts on future purchases. It was cool. I'll definitely go back.

I really do love Super G Mart. I frequent both locations -- the one on Independence and the newer,…read morelarger store in Pineville -- and this one feels like a destination in itself, especially with the huge food court. As a transplant to Charlotte for work, I'm always searching for the ingredients and flavors I grew up with, and this place delivers. From the fresh seafood counter -- where you'll find beautiful tiger prawns -- to the endless rows of fish sauce, oyster sauce, and every variety of soy sauce imaginable (sweet, dark, mushroom, Japanese), the selection is impressive. The aisles are thoughtfully organized by cuisine and region, which makes navigating the store surprisingly easy, even if you're new to Asian markets. The frozen section alone is worth the trip. If you're looking for dumplings -- Chinese, Japanese, Korean, even Nepalese -- they've got you covered. And don't sleep on the handmade crepe cakes in the freezer. Yes, they're about $25, but they're stunning and absolutely delicious. Honestly, they rival the famous crepe cakes from Lady M in the San Francisco Bay Area, where those cakes can easily run over $100. At this price point, it feels like a steal -- and you'll definitely impress your guests. The produce section is another highlight. The ginger is incredibly fresh, and the variety is fantastic -- from gai lan and sweet chives to cebollitas (Mexican green onions) and crisp green beans. It's a true sensory experience for anyone who loves to cook. This isn't a trendy, boutique grocery store, and that's exactly the charm. It's old-school, practical, and stocked with the essentials. Toward the back right corner, you'll find pallets of noodles in every style -- Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean -- everything you could possibly need for home cooking. The butcher and fishmonger are also available to help, which adds a nice personal touch to the shopping experience. There's also a bakery inside with beautiful fruit-and-cream cakes -- the kind you'll recognize if you've ever celebrated in an Asian household. Light, fresh, and not overly sweet. And if you're a coffee lover, keep an eye out for Café du Monde coffee -- it's usually several dollars cheaper here than at typical grocery stores. A few friendly tips: * Go with a plan -- this place can be overwhelming in the best way. * Don't bring a big entourage unless they're ready to explore. * And if you visit the Pineville location, go hungry -- the food court alone is worth the trip. Both locations are fantastic, but the Pineville store is newer, larger, and especially fun to explore. Shop curious, cook boldly, and enjoy the adventure.

This is usually a big turn off for me but there are products that can only be found in this store so I continue to shop here. Here are some other reasons why you should shop here: the produce is abundant and fresh, and at lower prices than elsewhere; - they carry all kinds of products from Asia not just the typical noodles and soy sauce - the food counter is also very good and popular - if you can't find what you're looking for they will either direct you to the aisle where it is or if they don't sell it you can have them order it. Overall, this store is pretty awesome!

They sell a lot of Goya brand products and I wish now I would have picked some corn tortillas to fry up later. You can get some pretty good deals on produce: cebolla $.50, jalapeno $.07. If you are looking for queso fresco you can get a block for under $5. The oranges look a bit more rough than I've seen in the mainstream markets, but I'm sure they are flavorful.

This place is legitimately ethnic and awesome…read more Two of my Hispanic food staples are pupupas and menudo. I mean that is just pure happiness to me. So when I asked a coworker where to go and he gave us a business card with this listing, off we went. He told us it was a little store with a couple of tables in the back. And what he said is exactly what we got. If it is crowded in here, do not expect to be able to move. It is literally two half rows with a cashier up front and a very small kitchen in the back with two makeshift tables to sit at. It is located in a non descript parking lot with a few other business. If it were not for said coworkers, I never in my life would have ventured in this place. But I am so glad that he did in fact tell us about this treasure of a place. I have been putting off this review because I like my little find but I can't do a disservice to my fellow yelpers. You must try this place. First you need to know that the store has longer hours than the kitchen in the back. So call ahead and find out if they are still open and what they are serving. Their items vary day to day. I called and asked to speak to someone who spoke English and at first I was told no English and after dealing with my broken, translated Spanish they started to speak English to me. Do not let this scare you off. Indeed someone in house speaks English and will be able to help you. Sundays they have menudo. Beautifully menudo with no hominy. The tripe is tender, soft and almost melts in your mouth. The broth is bright red, flavorful and almost no grease feel. If you eat menudo on a regular basis, then you understand this. The ladies who cook this menudo definitely put a labor of love into this dish to be able to have it be as delectable as it is. The pupupas are made fresh and hot to order. They are small and perfect with a perfect ratio of masa to filling. If you sit and eat your food there, you have plenty of salsas and crema and curtido to go along with your pupusas. Your menudo is served piping hot in a big bowl. A BIG BOWL. Menudo lovers will rejoice. I haven't tried their tacos or anything else because their menudo and pupusas are just so good. You can take your food to go, which in fact you will have to do if the tables are already taken.
