Skyfoods is one of my more preferred Asian supermarkets because of its relative spaciousness and cleanliness 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. read more

I'm a fan of Skyfoods in the Skyview Center mall. It's my top choice for stocking up on Asian groceries. The size of this place is impressive, with a huge selection that really makes it a one-stop shop, for Chinese and other East Asian ingredients. Stocked with a massive selection of Asian vegetables, and fruits that are difficult to find in a traditional grocery store. Greatly appreciate the quality. From fresh, leafy vegetables and mushrooms to a truly staggering variety of snacks, sauces, and noodles, their inventory is fantastic. The dedicated seafood and meat departments are also well-stocked, never saw live eel sold in a grocery store. Being inside the Skyview Center is a huge plus. It's great to be able to hit up BJ's wholesale, TJ Maxx and other stores in the same trip, and the indoor parking garage is a game-changer, especially on bad weather days. Compared to some of the other supermarkets in Flushing, Skyfoods feels noticeably cleaner and brighter. The aisles are well-organized, making it easier to find what you need. Checkout is wonderful, no chatty cashiers, just simple, polite, fast checkout! For a huge, reliable selection in a convenient location, it's a solid four stars. Tip: The hot food section is a lifesaver for a quick and affordable meal. You can get a solid lunch box combo with rice, several dishes, and soup for a great price. It's especially good earlier in the day when the food is freshest. 2nd tip: Spend $40, get 3 hours of free parking. read more

Wide variety of grocery selection Most Asian groceries can be found here. The prices are a bit higher here but that can be expected from the place it's operating in. Inside is pretty well maintained and clean. Staff are very professional and work quick. Word of caution, if you bring your own bag, you can't put stuff in it. Use their shopping carts and add in after paying. This store particularly has a lot of problems with people stealing. There's a wall of shame you can check when you walk in read more

Very bad experience. My car was locked inside a branch parking lot before 8 PM. I called the main store customer service, but nobody cared and nobody helped. I have been customer here for 12 years. Really disappointed and heartbroken. They only care about money, not customers. I will never come back again. read more

Excellent service and products! I love this supermarket. SkyFoods at Skyview Mall is easily accessible in the mall or through parking lot Level B. SkyFoods is your one stop shop for Asian groceries.

I recommend stopping by SkyFoods. read more

Love this store! They have everything we need plus we always go home with extra! Fish is always fresh and the prices of everything is always reasonable. The staff is always nice and helpful! Store is clean and well taken care of. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Food is a bit more expensive but you can still find some deals and lots of veggies turnover keeps produce fresh (fruit, eh, not as much). Parking validation is now $40 for 3 hours free in the parking lot. read more

After Target, my parents and I came here to shop at SkyFoods which is conveniently located at the lower level of Skyview Mall. From the main entrance, go down the escalators and keep walking straight until you see Fay Da Bakery then turn left or you can just hop on the elevators! My parents like shopping for fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, seafood, etc. I like shopping for yummy snacks and beverages lol =) Also, you can buy hot food but the two times that my parents bought something there didn't taste good. read more

I came here while playing tourist with my sibling and had a good time shopping here. Where I live there is a big Korean and Vietnamese population so a lot of the Asian grocery stores don't have items that cater to the Chinese or Taiwanese population. This is a true Chinese/ Taiwanese grocery store with lot of imported Taiwanese goods and a lot of the workers speak fluent mandarin. We were able to purchase some Taiwanese rice crackers, Jasmine tea and some condiment topping to add to our morning porridge. My cashier was an older friendly Chinese lady...would definitely come back! read more

What's not to love about Skyfoods? Very spacious, tons of variety and great sales! They're almost always the first to have an imported item (snacks) and decently priced compared to other markets! During this whole pandemic, the mall haven't allowed them to open so the only entrance is through the parking lot. Great place to get fresh vegetables and fruits (but certain fruits doesn't seem as fresh). I know they have sales on a lot of things but I wish they had more sales on certain items like ramen, drinks, etc. read more

Good large supermarket with a big selection of items. Big draw to this place is the fact that spending over $50 gets you $3 off of parking (what it costs for 3 hours) in the garage. Pricing on items is hit or miss, but the variety is excellent. read more

I get a great big jolt of serotonin whenever I shop for groceries which, depending on who you are will make me sound charming, demented or worse, boring but I swear shopping at SkyFoods is anything but. Picture an Asian Disney World filled with every Pocky flavor imaginable and discounted bok choy! Not to mention rice cakes, fresh seafood, and an entire aisle dedicated to frozen dumplings. I know what you're thinking-- can it get better? It does! Though there tend to be loads of shoppers on weekends, the aisles are relatively spacious and the cashiers work incredibly quickly so the lines may seem long but move fast. If you want your imported goods and fresh veggies on the cheap, head to SkyFoods. Some are calling it the happiest place on Earth. read more

With the free 3-hour parking in Sky Mall this supermarket has become one of my favorite. The huge space has the biggest selection of items of any of the other Asian supermarkets in the area. This passed weekend a dozen food vendors were giving out samples! Note- avoid the crazy parking lot on the BJ's level and try entering from Roosevelt Ave. which place you directly at the entrance of Sky FOODS. read more

Pretty cheap groceries here in my opinion. Every penny counts nowadays! There are enough cash registers to get your groceries ringed up in time to make the 3-hour free parking limit! There is a good selection of produce, meat, vegetables, condiments, snacks, seasonings, etc. They usually have almost everything I am looking for to cook a good Chinese meal! Lee Kam Kee is my ultimate partner in crime, believe me! Conveniently located inside the SkyView Center. You can do other shopping in the same complex besides for groceries.

Show me ASIAN fresh food finds! Sky Foods also owns and operates Chung Fat supermarket on Flushing's Main Street. However kudos for this somewhat newly inducted supermarket in Sky View Center as their produce and vegetables are fresh gargantuan selection which even established competitor as HK Supermarket do not carry selected Asian vegetables. What being Chinese means to me is of what Lo Fans haphazardly callous to degrade and undermine it, but I always immerse further of haunts with fung6 zaau2 (phoenix talons) in one's face and all genres of Green Tea (never coffee). All things Asian not limited specifically to Chinese but Japanese rice, tea and a good selection of my absolute favorite Green Tea ice cream, including Taro ice cream, and Red Bean ice cream. There is a gargantuan selection of Asian junk food, whoa... I could spend hours immersed here without a care but to be free from this vulgar callous world. Gyoza are plenty, Dou4 Hua1, a huge Asian herbal tea selection, dried goods, Aloe Vera drink, Panko for Tonkatsu, plus various Asian rice wine vinegar, Tonkatsu sauce among many Asian spices but sadly no Saffron. This particular Sky Foods is very organized and clean to be the Asian version of the America's Stop & Shop. With its gargantuan space, patrons never fall perilous prey cramped in microscopic narrow aisles. It sits inside Sky View Center shopping complex. It stands from reasonable to near bankrupt for price. Now my must-go-to for my Asian groceries which is required in my household as always, culturally, I personally prefer Chinese cuisine. read more

Typical Chinese Asian supermarket in Flushing. The market carrys all your basic produce, meat, fish,grains, canned, dry, and frozen goods. One of the big high points of the supermarket is the free 3 hour parking at Skyview. Be very cognizant and manage your time wisely, if you don't and go over 3 hours, they will charge you. They have a hot food section on premises and sometimes you can get a nice quick meal for a reasonable price, I say sometimes because the food is not consistent in quality. The meat and produce is always fresh because the turnover is pretty quick, people are buying up food like they're storing up for a natural disaster. There are many different food vendors handing out samples, you feel like you're at a "BJ's or Costco" the only difference is they don't sell items in bulk. Once your shopping spree is over, the check out counter girls quickly processes you out. I am always amazed with the efficiency of check out counters in Asian food markets. Do yourself a favor and try not to park at the same parking level as the supermarket, you will be sorry. The drivers are "NUTS!" People make fun of asians as being bad drivers. When you come here, you start believing it! But just for the record. I am a Great Driver! read more

I really like this supermarket because it has everything that you can ask for in terms of a Chinese supermarket. It has fresh produce, meats, and even a food court. I haven't tried the food yet from this food court, but I would say it looks pretty fresh. I usually would come to skyview mall on weekends, and during the day they would usually have free hot food samples, which I think is an amazing business practice. It allows you to get a taste of what you're going to buy before you buy it. And the ladies serving the food are more than generous in letting you have seconds, just in case you couldn't make up your mind with the first bite. Occasionally there are things on sale, but its random, so you'll have to come check it out for yourself. I have to say that skyfoods get very crowded on the weekends, but which supermarket doesn't? People are usually off on the weekends. I went this past Tuesday around 7pm and it was just empty and easy to maneuver around. Come here on weekdays if you can. read more

My four star rating is only for their " Sky food court" section. Their lunch boxes are $5.50 for rice base, 4 dishes, and a soup. The choices are plentiful and I'm always happy with the quality here. They get a lot of business, especially from construction sites around flushing, so I would avoid it around prime time 12pm. I came here around 11am-- everything was fresh and hot. There's barely anyone here around 10-11am on a weekday. It's the calm before the storm. They carry most of the Asian snacks and cooking necessities here. Regarding their seafood section, I would stay far far away. A friend told me she saw 3/4th of the fishes floating sideways (aka dead) in their tank. Just think about the contamination.... read more

I give this Chinese supermarket 5 stars! If you shop here and spend over $30, you will get free parking! Ever since they started to charge for parking in the garage, the parking spaces have become more readily available. And it is easy to be able to spend $30 in a supermarket! When you're done, it leaves you plenty of time to walk around in the other stores in the mall, such as Nordstrom Rack, Nike & Adidas Clearance, etc. food is ALWAYS fresh and they have the best selection compared anywhere! ---------- The above was written last week but never finished BEFORE I went shopping and got the sliced beef as pictured. The sliced beef was in extra long packaging and I thought, yay, big pieces of beef (extending end to end on the foam plate) , so what if it's $13, that's a great value for those HUGE slices! Then.... as I'm prepping the slices for cooking, I get the last slice of big one out (Chinese supermarkets usually put small not as pretty pieces on the bottom, expected) but what I saw truly amazed me. Imagine getting hotspot sliced beef and end up with quarter & dime sized beef slices? I'm so disappointed. 1 star off for the meat department for taking advantage and scamming the supermarkets most loyal customers read more

SkyFoods - They slices up top were huge but these bottom slices are of quarter and dime sizes. How disappointing to do this to loyal customers. - Grocery Near Me - Flushing, New York

I bought PACKAGED AND SEALED basil from Sky Foods. Deep inside the PACKAGED AND SEALED basil was a PLUCKED PIGEON FEATHER. I called them and they offered a refund for the product, which I have to come pick up. No mention of taking further action like removing these basil from their shelves - the least they can do. Not exactly the way you want to handle things. If a whole bird feather, that has been in who knows where, can end up in a packaged and sealed grocery, who knows what else you can find in all other groceries? Do NOT shop here if you care about your health. This was my first time shopping at Sky Foods - a traumatizing reminder not to shop here again. read more

Wonderful Asian supermarket at the Skyview Mall. This place is clean and has a very good selection of produce, seafood, groceries, health beauty and household items. It is very convenient to those who choose to drive, walk or public transit. Skyview has gone away with the free 3 hour parking. But they do offer a voucher for purchases over a certain amount. See my tip for details. They have an entrance directly to the covered parking lot which helps attract lots of shoppers to this grocery store. Their selection of hot eats and BBQ are good as well. they run pretty good promotions every week on different types of items and so you should find good prices on many goods. Location, choice and selection. This place is clean and well lit. This is definitely one of the best Asian supermarkets in the Flushing area. read more

My favorite Chinese grocery in NYC (favorite non-Chinese grocery is Trader Joe's). Unlike most other groceries in Chinatown/Flushing, it's very clean and well-organized. Veggies and fruit very fresh and I usually find it super easy to pick out the berries/bags of pea sprouts I'm satisfied (Like many Chinese I'm a person with a relatively high standard of freshness). Butchers do not have a super smiling face but are generally quite helpful. Also has a great variety of frozen food/snacks/soft drinks import from China/Taiwan/HK/other Asian countries. Almost no minimum for using cards ($1 minimum). Only downside is the travel distance from my home at LIC. read more

They have a wide selection of Chinese style take out lunch boxes in the back some people won't know about. It's like a Panda Express...pretty cheap $5 with three sides, entree, and soup (or add $1 for noodles or fried rice). Only thing is that it's from morning time to afternoon. So if you come and there's no one there you missed it! Sometimes they have leftover packaged food you can pick up and pay at the regular registers as well. One star less because a friend of mine works here and said the kitchen is unsanitary... So beware read more

The parking is not expensive, actually that is cheap ($3 for 3 hours). But why you lie about the 3-hour free parking? We've purchased over $100, still need to pay the parking. (The advertising says purchase over $30 can have 3-hour free parking) If there is no free parking we will come with such cheap parking, but I really don't like the way you said you have, but actually you don't have that offer! Not a trustworthy market. Will NOT come back again! read more

Most of the reviews confirm my personal experience here: 1. Good selection 2. Extremely rude customer service The people working here from the cashiers to the ones behind the counters are aggressively hostile. Forget about it if you need help of any kind. Really too bad given the ample parking and proximity to Target and other stores. read more

It's nice this is an Asian supermarket; it's in Flushing so what do you expect, I guess. The prices where okay on things from what I could tell and the selection was nothing short of amazing. I just wish they'd had decent bell peppers. Also they had Meiji candy but no Chocorooms. They are my beloved Five Below snack that I'd not found lately. That's a bit irksome since my life would be more convenient (and I'd have bought them) if they did. The checkout line seems very crazy in setup but I feel it was worth it to browse in there once. read more

They thought they could outsmart the consumer by selling moldy coconuts and water chestnut. They made them look pretty by washing them clean on the surface but they already knew that the interior was rotten. They used the scam like they are doing business in China.

Is there really a difference between any Chinese market? Every market has the vegetables and fruits section. There is the butcher section and fish section. The frozen foods, the noodles next to the tofu and aisles of Chinese and a bit of American packaged foods/candies/sauces/drinks section. Well yes, slightly. skyFOODS note worthy for a few things like for being a little bit cleaner, maybe because it's still relatively new. There's a bit of a larger variety of live swimming fish or live lobster. There were two assortments of shrimp: still live and hopping and the ones, well just not live and hopping. skyFOODS has a section of cooked foods bar, but basic and nothing I fount too appetizing though. There is also a nuts, candy and ginseng by the pound section. Near the check-out area are the 20-25 pound bags of rice, the Chinese staple. There is silverware, pots, bowls, cups. I started coming here mainly because of the free 3 hour parking within the Skyview Center Mall (which people should understand: free parking in Flushing is like parking in Manhattan). Basically I can pick up some of my groceries while buying non-grocery items within the mall. read more

I have quite the soft spot for Asian markets, and I happened across this one when taking a day trip to Queens. While it was a nice flashback to my favorite Asian supermarket of all time back in Seattle, Uwajimaya, it was nowhere near it in quality or selection. A surprise, then a disappointment. But nonetheless, still a good time. The first thing you will notice about this store, like many other Asian markets, is the strong stench of fish. Many stores will at least attempt to mask this smell, but it was very overpowering in this market. If you have a weak stomach or do not like the smell of seafood, you will not have a good time. Unless vomiting is your idea of a good time. If you have morbid curiosities, you can check out all the live crabs and shrimp out on display, along with the fish that are cut in half and have their guts hanging out in the open. The grocery selection is fairly average, and has a bit of everything you could possibly need. Lots of moon cakes were on display, though not a whole lot of other candies/junk foods that I enjoy. Their noodle and produce selection was pretty decent though, and the prices are very reasonable. It is a lot cheaper to shop here than just about any other market in New York City, and I stocked up on some of my favorite foods here. Checkout was fast, though the rest of the store was packed. Lots of people who hog up the entire lane, and bump you with their baskets. I couldn't count the times that somebody rammed a cart into me, or just left a cart full of stuff right in the middle of the lane. And if you asked them to move, they just glare at you until you move their cart yourself. I can see this place being a total madhouse at times. Would I come back to this store? Not particularly, unless I am in the area. There are many other similar stores in the area I could go to instead, so I may check them out first before coming back. But this store could work in a pinch. read more

Well this is the most organised Chinese supermarket I have ever visited in queens. I was in the mall shopping but couldn't help checking out this supremarket.It is huge and carries all the necessary stuff required for pan asian cuisine. There are some things like fruits, vegetables and sea food which are very reasonably priced as compared to other supremarkets all across the city. The only problem is that it is always very crowded but they compensate it by providing ample parking space. The supermarket shares the space with merchandise stores like Marshall's, Target and BJ's which is across the parking lot. read more

Super crowded but well worth it. You get 3 hrs of free parking in the garage and you not only get SkyFoods but also BJs, Marshalls, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond and a number of other stores/food spots. SkyFoods itself is pretty big. Fresh produce, meats and seafood. Prices are reasonable. Aisles are tight with everyone pushing carts so know what you're getting since it's quite hard to maneuver around people to wander aimlessly otherwise. They do have a prepared hot foods section so dont forget to check that out too. read more

For the longest time, I swore by Skyfoods/Soofoods, I've spent close to $1000 on grocery deliveries into Manhattan over the course of a year. It was great until I faced some issues with them and realised how bad their customer service was. I didn't receive a delivery on the date and every time I called, it went to voicemail. Once they did pick up, they informed me that the delivery was made and sent me an order confirmation that apparently someone I knew signed. The order confirmation had literally no other information on it apart from a scribble for a signature. Date, Printed Name and Relation to Customer were all left blank. I've had to charge back with AMEX because Soofood says their policy is if you don't call about a missing delivery in 7 days, they won't do anything about it despite me trying to reach out and getting sent to voicemail. It's a shame it's come to this as I've ordered from them for at least a year and their customer service has just been horrific. I'll be looking for an alternative. read more

It feels a little funny to be reviewing SkyFoods, but why not? It's your typical Chinese/Asian supermarket, offering fresh vegetables and fruits, a butcher counter, seafood counter, and endless aisles of shelf stable and frozen packaged goods, secreted away in the basement of Skyview Mall. Whatever Chinese or East Asian goodies your heart may desire, if they can be located in the continental US, you'll probably find it at Sky Foods. The convenience of this place, particularly if you live in one of the neighboring apartments, cannot be overstated. They will also validate mall parking for up to 3 hours. I'm dinging one point for the limited hours and occasionally stressful shopping experience--they now close by 7pm, the weekends are often packed, and for some reason only a few registers are open every time I visit. read more

It's definitely one of the cleaner Chinese supermarkets in flushing for sure. Very clean and spacious. You don't feel overcrowded when you come here. Since it's in the mall there's a huge abundance of parking available. Also have lunch boxes so that's great if you don't wanna make lunch. There's a lot of food to choose from and the price is good too. read more
