I've been coming here well over a decade & it's always packed. I don't know if this place ever has a quiet time. You can pick up everything u need from meat to seafood to greens..its is all extremely fresh! My faves are the shrimp shumai & bok choi. Prices seem average & no you probably won't get friendly staff but really who shops at the market to make friends. Buy your food & move on. The parking lot is a bit of a headache but manageable. Am happy this place is still thriving.

Yellow and red dragon fruits

We have been shopping here alternating week and I enjoy trying vegetables and fruits that are not available in American grocery stores. We all have eaten the same things over and over again which can lead to food allergies. Try fresh Chinese yams or carrots in place of potato or carrots. Try black sesame seed cereal or others in place of oatmeal cereal. They have seafood and butcher section with many options. This places is a definite recommendation!

Skyfoods Mart, address. Albion Ave, Elmhurst.

So I love shopping where I'm seen as an anomaly. Hehehe. I love Dem looks. Not dirty looks, just curious glances. I love that they fumble to return greeting when I greet them in their native tongue because they weren't expecting it. I love it all! I stumbled upon the gem that is Skyfoods Mart during a walkabout of parts of Queens. Their produce/products reminds me of being in an HMart, (thanks for that tip Yelp pal Mers). The layout is like being in a flea market/fish market. No high shelves except for the snack area and every shelf is about hip height. (Do not make a joke, do not make a joke, Ms. Freedom don't type what you're thinking just MOVE TF ON!) OKAY, now that I've cleared my head...it's a nice Asian supermarket and as a lover of Asian snacks I had a ball with them cheap shrimp slices! Oh boy! Large seeded grapes were at the time of my visit $0.98 per pound! They were sweet. Closest train station is Elmhurst at Broadway on the M and R lines. I'll be back! The End.

New Sky Foods in Elmhurst!
Rich W.

This Skyfoods is the same as the one that open in Sky View Mall Flushing which had some good prices. Now they open one right in my backyard. Thank you Kitchen God! There is a parking lot on the side (next to the closed EAST Manor ) or park at the meters. On weekends there are plenty of parking around the elementary school (PS 7 Barnwell Ave). Best way to get here is from Queens Blvd West local lane and make a turn at the corner of TD Bank and HESS gas station Albion St (Pan Am Hotel on the opposite side). It is very crowded right now because of the grand opening discounts. The place is huge. Accessible by subway- Elmhurst station is the closest.

Live Lobster !

As recommended by a friend that they sell the cheapest lobster in Elmhurst area, we stopped by today and take his word for that . He was absolutely right, I got my lobster for few dollars less than the Asean grocery close to my house. Did some seafood shopping as well to complete my lobster feast package intended for today's Father's day celebration plan. Generally, their merchandise item prices are really comparably lower. The store is totally brand new that makes the place so clean even their fish market area. The stocks shelves are filled and the staff are nice. The best part, it was less crowded that I enjoyed and take my grocery shopping time. They put up an item on sale each weekend as was mentioned by the staff. For today, Sapporo, a Japanese beer, is on sale for $8.50 for 12 cans. That's a very good deal. I am looking for a sample item test taste booth but no to avail. I think that will boost their sales. It will be a good marketing technique . I will come back. There is more to explore in their merchandise floor.

Here's a piece of a lotus mooncake I bought for $10

Bought these amazing Lotus Mooncake W/1 yolk. It was to die for!! I had it with some tea.

A large Asian one stop shop supermarket which offers almost everything. This store is clean and has this really sterile feeling. They do offer a lot of products which is really neatly organized, not overly crammed shelves. They offer a decent meat department with reasonable prices. They have a fish department and so on. It's really easy to get here by car or bus. It's about 15 min walk from subway and it's close to Queens Blvd. I find that I don't mind coming here by subway the probability of me mindlessly buying random groceries that I don't really need is pretty low because I have to carry everything back. Definitely a go to supermarket for me.

This man in the red hat should be fired! Nasty little old man!

This has got to be the absolute worst customer service at a supermarket. There was no one in the store and I was in the butcher area trying to buy some meats and the men behind the counter were absolutely nasty and disrespectful. I was trying to communicate what kind of meat I want and they starting yelling at me in Chinese then when said I couldn't understand Chinese they started cursing at me in English and refuse to help me. Then all of his co-workers started to yell at me again in Chinese. I do not recommend this establishment to anyone. They clearly don't need the business. Manager was not helpful whatsoever. I asked the gentleman if he was the manager and he said no, then accused me of not understanding the situation. They were yelling and cursing at me !! What is there not to UNDERSTAND?!! Then I asked the cashier where's the manager and the lady pointed at the guy I spoke to! TERRIBLE! GET NEW EMPLOYEES !

double charge on a dozen of crabs =(
Tanya L.

Today: 11-26-2014 Time: 16:57:55 Cashier #103 Station 03 My husband went to shop today for Thanksgiving feast tomorrow. It is raining outside and we were in a hurry. Total purchase was $114.65 so he just paid and didn't think much of it until we got home, checked the grocery and realized we got double charged for a dozen of crabs which was $19.99. It is too late now to go back and said anything to the store because on the receipt, it already printed "NO refund for missing items after you left store". It is just sad and upset since we've been their customers for quite some time. Usually we've never checked the things we bought or the receipt. Today we did since it was a little high. So there we have it, it was $20 over. So for us, we don't think we're going back. Too bad you guys lose our business. We usually spend a lot on grocery since we love to cook our food. For others, please check your receipt before you leave the cashier after you pay. Good luck!

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.

Turkiyem Market - Does anyone have an idea what's hanging from the ceiling?

Turkiyem Market

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...

This is my go to place for spices and if I need to find herbal tea. Their cheese, yogurt, milk ,…read morebeverages and frozen section is without prices. I bought philo dough with price $3.75 at the register was charged $4.50 when I showed them the price sticker they reimbursed me but it's not the first time. It's overstocked and would suggest you check for expectation dates on products and prices before you buy. They sale spices, halal meet, baklava and herbal teas. I wish there was someone who can explain some of the products.
