Please, if management reads this review, address the rude security guards at the entrance…read more The security guards were extremely rude and acted as if they had the authority to search through my personal belongings. I had items with me that I had purchased from H Mart and placed neatly inside my personal tote bag. Luckily, I still had the receipts to show that I had purchased them elsewhere. I even purposely left the items I had purchased from 99 Ranch Market outside, along with the receipt, to avoid any misunderstanding. Despite that, the security guard still insisted on searching my personal tote. I didn't want to make a scene, so I simply opened the bag and showed him briefly. This made my shopping experience very uncomfortable and frustrating. I have no time to deal with this kind of unnecessary confrontation while shopping. If this is the store's policy, please post the policy clearly at the entrance so customers know before entering. Otherwise, please train your security staff to treat customers with more respect and professionalism. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because the experience was disappointing and unnecessary.

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.

Family outing in Flushing on a week day. Very hard to find parking. Parking Lots in the vicinity…read morewere filling up too. Somehow, I ended up in the Chang Jiang Supermarket. When you shop and buy $50 bucks of products at Chang Jiang Supermarket within 90 minutes you get parking for free. Purchased $25 dollars and overstay 90 minutes. My parking fee was $10 bucks. Great deal compared to parking at other lots that can cost $12-$16. Definitely, the aisles were well maintained here. We shopped for papaya and staff was picking up the wrappers and sweeping the floor. Lots of sales when it comes to shopping for vegetables. Fruits are fresh and well packaged. Busy shopping here and lines get long at the cash register however staff is very efficient and moves quickly. Will be back again.

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.

And I can't believe I didn't think to write this until now, because they are wonderful. On the most recent trip, they had blueberries at $1.99 each container. Now if you know our fam, you know that Bubs loves his fruit. We can't keep it, especially blueberries, in the house long enough for anyone else to enjoy but him. That's why, it's great when I pass here and I can't believe grab some on the way home. The prices are great and the people are quick at the counter. Also the selection is GREAT. All kids of fruits and veggies to choose from. So worth grabbing something from here if you pass by. And you can't beat it for some of their prices!

We tend to buy most of our fruits and veggies here with the exception of a few items. The produce here is MUCH more fresh than what's available in the grocery stores nearby!! Highly recommend you come here instead. The one big downside is that it's pretty small inside. So you're constantly bumping into people. And in order to pay, you have to squeeze yourself allllllllll the way to the back of the market. I suggest not coming here with a ton of big bags in hand because you will DEFINITELY run into people and it's not a fun experience for the other patrons in the market... **They have a $4 minimum of you plan to pay with card! We typically get enough produce for myself and my husband that will last an entire week for about $12-$15, depending on what we're getting.

I love fruit and vegetable markets. This one caught my eye because of the selection. I bought…read morepurple potatoes, fresh corn, and fresh dates. They had good quality produce. The prices were high for some and reasonable for others like fresh corn (4 for $2.00) and the potatoes were reasonably priced as well. The fresh dates were a little pricey but I haven't seen them being sold by me so I bought a few. The lady behind the counter was fast in ringing up my items. Ambiance - All of the produce were laid out nicely and well. It was like eye candy. I wouldn't mind stopping by this place again next time I'm in the neighborhood. I recommend all to check out this market.

Supposedly, these are air-shipped from Paris, straight to New York. Each piece embodies the french haute dessert. For the price, these are pretty itty bitty bites. Service. A bit slow, considering there is no one else on line waiting, but okay. Ambiance. Neat and presentable. It's inside Tangram mall, as an open, no wall, no door store. Just enter the mall entrance across from Molly's Tea. Not sure what this store is about. They seem to sell random high end items and maybe some unusual snacks, drinks, homemade teas, household cooking pots, fresh sea urchin in the refrigerator, etc. Items seem to change to something new every now and then. Check it out if you are in the hood. You might find something you've never seen before.

My fascination with Asian markets goes back decades. I quickly gathered that no visit to Flushing…read moreis complete without at least a quick sweep of Jmart. The place warrants more time than I had that day. The market is immense with a dizzying selection of items. I was amazed walking down the condiment/sauce aisle with more choices than I'd seen elsewhere. I noticed products that were new to me, like black chickens. I learned from a Google search that it's a natural genetic condition causing excessive pigmentation. Apparently the black flesh has a stronger, deeper and slightly gamey flavor with meat that's tender and juicy. Prices seemed fair, business was brisk, and I for one, will return! I'm sure some on staff speak English, but the employees I came across, did not.

JMart in Flushing is another fantastic Asian supermarket with a seemingly endless plethora of Asian…read morefood's choices. The store is clean, well organized, and surprisingly pleasant to navigate. 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.

I love Mango Rico. You cannot beat the prices of groceries here. Granted, there isn't a huge…read moreselection but it's good enough. It has all the basics and seasonal fruits. I bought onions, green beans, peaches, bell peppers, tomatoes, and grapefruit for $8 total. I couldn't believe the prices I felt like I robbed the store.

Everytime I'm in Jackson Heights, I make my way to Mango Rico.

Been wanting to try this dessert shop/cafe for a while (those viral videos helped). They offer…read moretraditional Cantonese-style desserts & some hot foods in a cute modern cozy cafe setting. I got the ($14) Pandan jelly with Mango & Durian (sago pearls & coconut milk). I ordered it to go thinking the dish would be too big to finish, but it's actually very light and refreshing, and not heavy at all. There were diners there sharing one large shaved ice and I assumed most of the dessert soups would be just as big. But usually Chinese desserts are not overly rich or heavy. The staff said that they could switch out the Durian for extra mango, but they were nice enough to pack a little bit of Durian on the side for me to dry - and no! The whole dessert doesn't smell like durian. Everything was packed extremely well - the liquid was in its own little dispensing pouch. Very nice attention to detail. Pandan is an herby vanilla flavor from Southeast Asian. I think The noodles were made out of rice flour? It was like a soft creamy pudding thick noodle. You can easily scoop into them alongside the mango, coconut milk, sago pearls. Every part of the dessert was very fresh and not too sweet! Had to control the late night snack, and save the rest for the next day. Don't think this kept well, there was a lot of liquid that seeped out of the tapioca pearls or noodles (delicious pandan flavor still!)? But it still wasn't too stiff the next day. Excited to try as other items like the ginger, milk, pudding, but I think I made an excellent choice with this dish, and the price point seemed high at first, but each ingredient to be made fresh on the same day. I'll be back! Curious about the hot café foods too.

I tried the durian mango coconut pudding, the taro with mochi dessert, and the ginger pudding and…read morethey were all bangers! Flavor profiles were hitting in all directions I didn't know which one to pick as my favorite! Durian mango coconut pudding - Durian wasn't overpowering at all and the mango shined in this dessert. The mango was nice and sweet, yet tart, soft and not at all unripe. The durian bits were creamy and custard-y, while the coconut pudding served as the perfect base for the dessert. Light and smooth Taro with mochi dessert- This was a taro sweet soup and had the consistency as black sesame soup. The taro was potent and the aroma was very prominent. The mochi was nice and soft, yet chewy. I was not expecting to like this one as much as I did. Ginger pudding - Utterly delicious. The ginger flavor and taste was insanely strong and the pudding was jiggly soft. Not too sweet and almost tasted spicy in a sense from the ginger. Super solid pudding. I'd come back just to get this again honestly.
