    Cash only Has a lot of premade Thai meals and also the mango sticky rice was pretty solid.

    Pata Market is known for the mango sticky rice and I was excited to try it out! One thing that stood out to me is that they didn't seem like they added a lot of additional seasoning like extra salt and sugar. I'm not sure what it is they added on top of the rice, but I really like it as it gave a crunch to each bite! The one thing is that for this particular batch of mango that came with this sticky rice, it didn't feel as sweet

    The mango sticky rice from pata market is phenomenal! I've been several times and every single time the quality and taste are outstanding!! During my last visit I tried something new, a taro coconut ice cream and it was very good as well! Looking forward to continuing trying new items!

    I've been wanting to come here for awhile after this place blew up on Instagram so I was super excited to try their mango sticky rice. You can pay in either cash or Zelle and you order up in the back to get a ticket before you obtain your mango sticky rice. The dessert itself was absolutely delicious as the mango was super sweet which went really well with the coconut-flavored filled rice. I think this is one of the best iterations of the dish I've had in NYC as the coconut flavor was very evident throughout. Other than the stick rice, the grocery store also carries a lot of fresh food that you can bring home as well as Thai desserts. We tried a pandan cake and I thought it was pretty good although I wish the pandan flavor was even more evident. I will definitely be back to try more of their other foods especially their soups which are hiding in the back of the store!

    Such an authentic experience compared to attending the viral "Michelin" location at Chelsea Market. I was lucky to have no line on a holiday and I enjoyed hearing the Thai music and seeing all the delicious food and snacks I could order. I grabbed a Thai iced tea, grilled salmon over rice and a pudding on top of mango sticky rice. It's cash only and the entire store was welcoming and kind. They have a specific system to follow with green tickets. I really don't want to lose all of these local mom and pop stores that make Queens special. Mango sticky rice was great I enjoy the moong dal topping for the crunch factor. Sticky rice had a nice coconut flavor. Mango was ripe and in season. Felt like got a tiny trip to Thailand.

    Yes, there are a lot of items sold at Pata Market, and throughout the year I'd advise anyone to try them. However, spring means ripe mangoes, and that means there is no better place in the city for mango sticky rice. The service is fantastic. You pay at the counter in the back of the shop, get a ticket (one for each mango sticky rice that you buy) and exchange it in the front of the store. They crank these deserts out, so you're not going to wait long. The shop is clean and bright, but there aren't any tables, so you'll be doing what everyone else is doing: eating in your car, on the sidewalk, in the park down the block, or asking for a set with the rice cold so that you can heat it up later. You'll be happy regardless of your choice because the flavors, textures, cold/hot, and sweet/salty balance of this dish is incredible. Like I said, the other items are great, but in the spring and summer you (and half of the neighborhood) are really here for this. And you'll be back.

    Thought I wrote a review already, not sure where it went. Used to go to Pata Market when it was twice the size and previously called Sugar Club (and maybe another business name / combo business before that). Before craigslist, the bulletin board at this market was THE resource for Thai folks. The market used to have café menu with desserts and drinks, alongside the grocery section at one point there were also kids toys in the corner and really liked the welcoming atmosphere. It's still welcoming and feels very family run even though the business is a quarter of the previous size. They have a good amount of dry goods, sauces, frozen sausages, snacks, some pharmacy products (menthol products where r u?), daily rotating, prepared foods, desserts, and even small cups of Thai tea or durian ice cream. - and YES the viral Mango Sticky Rice ($12) is viral for a reason. Just note that mangoes are in season April - May pay for it at the counter and grab a ticket for a pick up at the front where there's no less than two staff members chopping mangoes all day! Another staff number bringing out steamed sticky rice mix in coconut sauce mixture from the back. All the components are fresh and let the sweep ripeness of the mango shine - the Salted Coconut Sauce goes ONLY on the rice. NOT the mango says Thai friend. The market was really busy on a Friday evening in May - and all different types of people, multi-generational. Local & those influenced LOL. People were also ordering the from the small dessert/drink menu, the staff seemed a little bit overwhelmed. The Prepared Foods! High-quality, extremely varied mix of festival, meat, and vegetarian dishes. You'll find ground basil pork & rice, curry, noodle bowls, grilled lemongrass skewers and sticky rice, lettuce wraps, summer rolls. Items are around $15 or under. Every time I've gone, I see a lot come in and pick up a few packages. You can also get all the ingredients at this market to make those same dishes - but why not try those dishes first as a baseline. LOL The desserts! There's just as much variety in the refrigerator with the prepared desserts - many with coconut cream, tapioca flour, taro, pandan, banana, and yes - corn. I'm not familiar with a lot of the desserts, but I haven't been too disappointed with anything that I've picked up. Just know that tapioca flour and coconut are usually main ingredients. There might've been some tapioca cakes with salted coconut cream tops - which I wasn't a huge fan of the salt/sugar combination. The market is just 2 blocks from the R/Broadway Elmhurst station. Close to Elmhurst Hospital. You can grab a seat at the nearby park & enjoy your sticky rice. There's always been MTA grate construction in front of this market, there isn't much space to stand out front fyi.

    We got the famous mango sticky rice ($12) - they only take cash or Zelle! Be warned that their rice is ultra sweet, even without the condensed milk sauce. I could only have a couple bites lol

    Food 5/5 Value 5/5 Amazing Thai grocery store that also offers incredible grab and go Thai desserts and savory dishes! Mango Sticky Rice ($12): Simply amazing! The added crispy rice provided a perfect, unexpected crunch that paired rly well with the fresh mango and rich coconut cream Chicken Basil over Rice ($10): Another delicious dish. The chicken was flavorful, not dry at all, and packed a great, authentic Thai spice kick. Incredible quality and value

    Yalissa C.

    The mango sticky rice at Pata Market has been all over my feed and I finally tried it and yes, the hype is real! The mango was honestly one of the juiciest I've ever tasted, beautifully ripe and sweet. Paired with sticky rice drenched in their creamy coconut milk and topped with rice krispies for a little crunch, it's a simple combination that just works so well together.

    My friend lives in the neighborhood and recommended this Thai grocery store. She really liked a pumpkin custard she got there, but also the Thai pancake dessert. They didn't have the pumpkin custard, but I did grab the Thai pancake dessert with pandan and egg yolks. It was soooooo good. I would definitely come back here to get that again and try other things because there's so many other yummy looking things to try. It is cash only so prepare accordingly.

    Amanda L.

    Came here from Manhattan strictly for the mango sticky rice which exceeded my expectations. Well worth the trip and so delicious that we got 2 to take home. On a rainy Saturday there was no wait, you pay in cash at the back and get a ticket to pick up at the front. Servings are made fresh daily with the ripest mangoes and last for about a day. Definitely will be returning here every time I happen to be in the neighborhood for delicious eats.

    Sandy T.

    Walked past this store and saw them making the mango sticky rice. It was $12 and the place prefers cash for payment. The mango was super fresh. The rice was a little dry/hard but that might have been my fault for not heating it up before eating it. One of the best mango sticky rice i have had in NY but also the most expensive.

    G Mart opened recently in Jackson Heights though I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure what the "G"…read morestands for (Good? Gracious? Great?) but it is very convenient if you're getting off the train at the Jackson Heights stop. It looks very much like they took an old warehouse sized space and converted it into a clean looking market. There market has two levels, a primary level where you'll find most of the goods including produce, dry goods and even a small housewares section towards the back. Step up a couple of stairs from the produce section and you'll be in the seafood section. The market was very neat and organized and it looked very clean. All that said, do not expect a ton of selection here. Their brand diversity was fairly limited which is no big surprise given the relatively small space for a supermarket. From what I saw the prices here were average and not particularly expensive or cheap. If you're in the area this is a good spot to grab some groceries. You may not have the widest selection available to you, but it will do in a pinch!

    The past few years of Woodside has seen an influx of Asian businesses, some of them in the form of…read more99 cent stores, eateries, and in the case of G mart, supermarkets. Is it a knock off of H-Mart? Maybe. Is it better than making the trip to Flushing or perhaps Elmhurst? That really depends. By no means is this a destination worthy grocery shopping experience. However, for Woodside residents in a pinch and in need of some Chinese produce, seafood selection, and imported snacks, this place works. The selection isn't going to wow any seasoned shopper in these parts, but it has all the basic areas taken care of. It's also a little bigger than it looks from the outside. In any other western supermarket, this would be a C-Town or Key Foods, but what they have is comparable to things I'd find out in semi-nearby Elmhurst. The meat selection / butcher area has some pretty solid prices for beef bones, shanks, and organ meats. I also think the seafood section and the slabs of fish they have daily is somewhat impressive given how light it is crowd wise. Their produce feels limited, but I think it's better to look in the morning for things like watercress, snowpeas, etc, before it runs out. Overall, I think they bring a lot of value to the hood. Not just in terms of affordability, but they do it better than a lot of their nearby competition. Service seems fine overall and I like that the store is clean and organized.

The $6.50 Lemongrass Pork skewers & sticky rice is a generous portion (more than how it looks) & an excellent meal. The marinade is really good! (has fish sauce in it fyi) I randomly picked up a tube of a $1 - 2 banana leaf (or was it pandan?) wrapped grilled thing at the checkout (plantain banana) and it was the most delicious dessert/ snack ever. The filling (banana & rice) was infused with a deep vanilla flavor from the grill. There might be a viral travel video about this item. I haven't seen this (or the taro one) back at the store the last few times I've gone back. Sad. Was recommended to try the Thai ramen cups, which are a lot better. The staff there is very welcoming & kind. Apparently there's a cat that's famous - overheard a customer asking about him by name. This shop is directly across the street from Sripriphai - looks like the spot for the OG Thai businesses in Queens!

    Best Turkish supermarket in western Queens. OH, THE ONLY…read moreTURKISH SUPERMARKET IN WESTERN QUEENS? Okay, slightly kidding since it's the size of two bodegas, and Sunny grocery on 43rd (a block away) is also a Turkish grocer, and it carries slightly different things. One of the fun things about visiting a foreign city like Istanbul is to go native and visit corner produce stands, grocers (Şok or Migros) or hypermarkets (like Carrefour). What I will do is look at the items, and based on some researched numbers, get an idea for how things are. For example, in Nov 2023 a 500g bag of Caykur Altinbas classic tea is 95 TL. A six pack Pasabahce tea glass set (çay bardak) is 99 while ones from Sahil is 27 at Şok. A bottle of full fat Ayran is 12, a subway ride is about 15 and a breakfast set is about 200. The monthly minimum wage is about 23000, and average rent for a dinky apartment in Zeytinburu is about 16000 TL. The current exchange rate is about 30 TL to 1 USD with an 80% inflation, so you need to hustle to survive on Istanbul money, but as a tourist, you can make out like gangbusters if you stick to domestic products and shop around. So what does that have to do with shopping at Turkiyem? Well, certain useful items are oddly inexpensive due to lower relative pricing in Turkiye, but you just have to think outside the box. For example? The pasabahce 6 pack tea plate for 8 bucks (I think they were like 75 TL)...can you use it as an olive/nut plate for parties? Yes - better than Ikea in most cases. What about the big 500g bag of Caykur loose earl grey for 4.75? Yep. What about that 3.50 jar of Tomato paste? High quality and much cheaper than Concertina, stick it in an ice tray, freeze and ziplock bag it up. The olive bar here? Cheaper than Parrot foods and just as decent. Same goes for Turkish Olive oil - same or higher quality than Italian without the markup. Of course, not everything is well priced. That 2 lb bag of Reis red lentils (Turkish brand, Kazakh lentils) is 6 bucks. Go to Patel Brothers in JH and it's 5 bucks for a 4 lb bag of Canadian lentils, which tastes the same in Turkish lentil soup). Arborio rice too difficult to find? Use Baldo (it's a Turkish hybrid for making Pilaf), but don't pay 6 bucks for a 2 lb Reis bag here - go to Mediterranean Foods in Astoria and look for the Krinos brand, which is often around 5. But what is this place really good for? Well, it's a good one stop shop for Turkish items but minus a few things. For example, if you want Tulumba (Turkish honey glazed churro nuggets), that's Sunny on 43rd, and the good stuff is at A&D Turkish market in Bay Ridge. Want great Baklava? Antepli in Bay Ridge. If you want single serving Kahramaras style Dondurma (Turkish ice cream) which is freaking delicious served with Turkish tea and baklava? Grand Bazaar in Cliffside park. In terms of Turkish markets It's not nearly as big as Istanbul Food Pazaar in Clifton (NJ) or Portokali Market in Sheepshead Bay, or even Nizaam in Cliffside Park, but you know what? If you want pre-packaged Moda Dondurma sliced up and ready to go in Queens? Check the freezer here. Want a crapload of dried mint at a reasonable price but without the stems, or Aleppo peppers for lentil soup without paying the absurd markups at Sahadi's? Pul Biber, check the spice aisle. Hell, they even got multiple varieties of dried peppers hanging on the ceiling and more spices and teas than you know what to do with. It's just as much fun to browse as Parrot Foods on Sunnyside, and you can chat with the Butcher and get tips on cooking. Yeah, some places are cheaper or have more stuff, but often, they win out on convenience. If I have a Zipcar for the weekend and don't mind driving to NJ, I'll head to the big Turkish markets and maybe get something really Turkish, like Beyran soup from Gaziantep on the other side of the Hudson. Otherwise I drop by here for small culinary reminders of Istanbul. So yeah, stop by. I do that once a month. Oh yeah, can someone tell the owner to install a few price validators? They don't mark most of their items so the pricing is always an educated guess. Considering that it's all in their system, might as well have something that tell the customers how much they are...
