Great place to find a variety of food and vegetables, fruits.
Best seafood place ever fresh items, I recommend for everyone to go💙💙💙
If time here cause girlfriend said there was an Asian market near by when we went to get our car oil change and inspection. Typical Asian market I think its really an Chinese market but who knows. They carry most of all Asian products. Products from Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Laos, and Cambodia and others can be found here which is pretty neat. Definitely got fresh produce. Just didnt like the smell thats all.
A good variety of Asian food, including great prices on tropical fruits. Conveniently located around the corner from Hannaford.
My favorite grocery in the area, great prices, lots of variety and a 5% student discount. Lots of fresh fish. I just noticed today they have fresh roast duck. The produce here is almost always perfectly fresh. We like their frozen buns a lot.
Good place for all asian needs. Fresh vegetables too.
Love going there to get my seafood.
Same as it was when I was a kid. Was a joy to bring my son there to try some different things.
Great service Great seafood and good prices
The store is not a big one, yet there are plenty of choices of Asian foods. It has a small stall offering fresh seafood including fish and crabs. The fruits and vegetables are in the back of the store. Everything is super packed, and the store offers good value overall.
The place is fine, you can find most of what you need from the Asian store, the prices are reasonable compared to other Asian stores in the area, and the staff is super friendly. However, the parking sometimes is difficult, so, prepare yourself for that.
Love this little place . Cheaper than the big one on central ave. I always get my food at the Asian mart. Just remember its a 10 dollar min for card purchase. They also take ebt as well. Great prices and a decent size too. I love the kitchen section thats on the left of the produce section.
This place is much better than the Chinese market on Central Ave, in that they are always willing to help you. Its smaller, but Ive always found what I need there. They also have cheaper, useful kitchen items past the produce area. $2 enokis!
The market was filthy and the fish in the tanks were eating each other...
Not enough parking thus the -1starStaff could be more friendly but I cant blame them for not being warm in a cold environment.Produce are well stocked and choices are varied.I wish the fish are more freshId still go here despite the quirks
Many varieties of fresh fish available there.good price.nice service.
Its looks smaller then it actually is. Has just about everything you may be looking for.
Really good selection for the area. Great place to get seafood! Theres a diverse rotating supply of fruits and snacks.
Wide variety of Chinese food. No roast duck.
Fresh produce, and the fresh fish section was plentiful, that coupled with a huge range of Asian specific foods! If you cant find what you need here you dont know what you are looking for.
Great place for fresh fish and blue crabs. Fillet it there for you
There is a bit less selection than the other Asian supermarket on Central Ave but definitely less crowded and far more organized and clean. Very cold during winter though. They dont use heaters, I guess.
Would give it 4.5 stars if i had the option. Parking is a little tight but overall its a great place to find everything you need for Asian cuisine. Can get a little busy but the savings over big box grocery stores are worth it.
Easy to find. Get what you need and go. Smells like a fish market but thats expected. Salmon is fresh on a Tuesday (according to my aunt).
In my opinion, this was a very traditional Asian market, which feels hidden right off of Central Ave. The place is a lot bigger than what you expect when you first walk in. The vegetables were very fresh and the options were abundant. Overall, the place is affordable and a little gem 💎. Highly recommend!
Great produce. Frequent little sales in the entry way ti the store. Excellent selection of rices. Also the only place Ive found real oyster sauce
Produce section is beautiful! Line moved quickly. I didnt see anything else...I only went for produce. Parking is not plentiful at all.
Good little spot, not as big as some of the other Asian markets but its a clean establishment and has a decent fruit and vegetable assortment.
The selection of some things has changed in 3 years yet I still got what I need. The fish is nice & fresh as are the fruits & vegetables
I noticed this market received high points, well I was there today and the man behind the fish was rude and unprofessionalI could barely hear him and I asked several times to speak louder.. as I continued to seek help he stopped helping me and helped a customer of a different race. If you want our money remember its green too. They deserve a 0.
Can be super crowded both inside store and in the parking.They go out of stock for essential food/produce/items too often sometimes. However the location is convenient considering and can be super annoying for accessing - its near central Ave which is very busy and high traffic and last but not least parking is limited...I recommend this place if you truly cannot find the items you need at hannaford/market 32/shoprite/Walmart
Much less crowded than the other local Asian grocery. A little hard to find things on your own because of the lack of signs in English, but the staff are happy to help. Very good produce section!
Lots of new items to see. Fresh vegetables is a great area.. bok choy / snow peas / bean sprouts and mushrooms I love.
This is a friendly, well-stocked Asian grocery store with competitive prices and clear pricing. They have a huge variety of ramen, tea, frozen goods, condiments, dried components, (mushrooms, roots, etc.), produce, imported dishes and tools (back of the store off the refrigerated vegetable section), noodles, rice, broth mixes and seasonings, exotic canned goods, and snack food. I’m vegan so I don’t bother with the meat section, which is average sized. The seafood department is large and accounts for my one docking of a star—this place has The Smell. Not terrible, but you can tell that lots of fish have been through these doors.Speaking of vegans, #protip—they have vegetarian oyster sauce, dairy- and animal-free dumplings and buns (frozen, back wall), many iterations of tofu in every texture, vegan ramen, lots of vegan snacks, and all the mushrooms you need to make convincing vegan sushi. You should also check out the “soy chicken”, vegan frozen meats (R side wall toward the back) and prepared rice noodles (drunken noodles-type).
This store is AWESOME, I only know if a couple stores in the entire state where you can pick a fresh live fish from a tank on the premises and they will clean and filet it for you on the spot in record time too. Now, hows that for fresh...lol.Also they have anything, and EVERY THING you can imagine for your Asian Supermarket. Ill definitely be returning to this store. Remarkably fresh produce and cheaper than the super market. You guys are Awesome...👍👍.
Its more of a trek, but I loved the vegetable section compared to closer Asian markets.
Nice store. Makes me want to get the Babbel app so I can know what it is Im actually buying. Funny thing tho...I found a product made in Australia, in a Chinese store. Go figure. Thank you tho.
Great customer service! There is a large selection of food to choose from and they are all reasonably priced. Will definitely be going back!
Ambiance disgusting.. Not like before. Sea food area smells and looks filthy. Sorry.. I understand that covid has affected the business.
It was good for asian spices and food range. Good place for fresh fish, crabs and lobsters. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Pakistani, Indian and lot of Asian spices available.
Has essential groceries from many Asian culinary genres. Could be better, could be worse but considering it is located in Albany, this place works to fill community needs
For a quaint store they have a lot of items stocked. There is not much for asian food items that you wont find.
In the freezer across from the fish counter are clear bags of frozen, homemade pork dumplings. They are fabulous.
Love this place... picked up some steamed chicken mushroom buns today.
Great place for seafood. Just the prices for the live crabs are sometimes too expensive when the crabs are small. Friendly staffing
Over priced and terrible customer service!I will never go back. Also the smell is ridiculous. But most of all customer service is horrible. The have signs of prices that don’t equal what the cashier tells you once you get to the register.
Whit the exception of the meet and fish department, it was very clean. The grocery section need restocking. Prices are very competitives. Good place to go shopping for a different kind of food. Cashier were very helpful. I like this place.
Very good variety of food at decent prices. If you need Asian ingredients, this is one of two great stores for it (this is smaller, but youll be surprised how much they have). Only issue is parking is sometimes tight.
Love the high quality fresh fish and produce at a reasonable price. Also a good selection of Asian cooking equipment and serving pieces. On Saturdays they have awesome Vietnamese sandwiches.
Theyre always well stocked with surprisingly large variety of foods, the store is very clean, and every product that Ive checked has been in date. Wonderful!!!
Love this place for affordable produce, tofu, dumplings, asian pastries, and kimchi. They also have a good variety of Filipino soup mixes as well.
You get alot of things but i recommend calling to ask if what you are going to buy is available before you go and parking is alittle scarce but its a good place
One of the three Chinese grocers in Albany area. Good selection and with fish stall selling fresh and frozen fish. No butcher shop section but cleaner and better organized than the other store
A variety of product you cannot find elsewhere in rural parts of Ny. I found what I wanted and more. Lots of product you cant read, but thats what Google is for right?The cashiers always helpful and the store always has clean unobstructed floors.The prices are also super low.
10 dollar limit on credit and debit. Produce limited but variable and lower priced than say price chopper and hannaford. If youre looking for pork belly, sliced beef, bones and rib tips or live fish youll find them. Ginger is also cheaper, larger, and better quality. But if youre looking for your every day items youll have better luck elsewhere.
Although this location is smaller and has less selections than some of the other, larger Asian groceries in the area, I find the employees more helpful and prices often cheaper here. They also carry some items other area Asian markets do not. Worth checking out if you havent been!
This place is great! Everything is fresh, everytime I go. Good kitchen products too!
My first time in this store. Found everything that I needed for a dish I havent made yet...lol
I really do like this place, but I have found others that I’ve fallen in love with. Nonetheless if you’re in the city of Albany and you need any type of Asian products quickly that’s place to go.
Great place great prices, lovely cash register operators and always stocked up.
Love this place. Fresh seafood and in the back they sell good cook ware.
So the stuff here is pretty expensive, but thats Albany, NY. The selection is great for being such a small market! Especially the wine. You can get high quality wine for a fair price here.
Good Items not big on the condition Living Creatures are kept.But some Great Holistic Items.Kaiser Lexie and RNAMASTE
Amazing healthy yummy groceries and prepared options from my Asian cousins ! Come explore and you will be glad ! Delish produce too!!
Not a huge selection here but if you need Asian ingredients in a pinch like veggies, sauces, seafood, or cheap kitchen items, come visit here. Otherwise the market on Central Ave. has a much bigger selection of every Asian good youll need.
Prices are much better than the Asian Supermarket on Central Ave but the produce selection is much smaller. This place also accepts EBT whereas the Central Ave store doesnt.
Nice selection, theyve done a decent job cleaning post covid but can be tough to keep 6 feet apart
Good selection of food
Always fresh fish.
Place did not smell like fish , fish seem pretty good and its prices on fish, produce nice and good prices. Staff was very courteous.
Go to place for fish in the capital district.
Price went up and up and up. Same quality. Should we blame COVID or the owner?🤔
I love this place they always have good snacks and produce when I decided to try and cook something new
Communication is difficult at times because some people working there dont understand English and I cant read Asian they got a lot of nice stuff but some of that I dont know what is
Nice market that offers a variety of Asian ingredients. This place is much cleaner than some other local Asian markets. Would shop here again.
Good selections of veggie, fruits, and seasonings, and frozen...this place sometimes have fruits that the other asian market on central ave does not carry
The staff are pleasant and the site has a good selection of items that you would want to find in an Asian market. I dont like the $10 credit card minimum.
A more limited selection than some of the other markets in the area, but this one tend to not get as busy. The grocery section is in the back and has a decent selection.
Love it!
Good place to shop for fresh
Interesting! My friends got scared by the crabs and couldnt find the jellyfish. Mochi is delicious as usual!
Good prices, great selection of items and friendly ownership. The produce tends to be rather low quality though.
The staff are so kind and the products are great quality and reasonably priced this is a favorite place of mine
First time there. Very interesting. Reasonably priced. Lots of selection. Will be going back.
It was excellent. I went to get ground pork meat and wrappers to make steamed dumplings.
Love it here. Very reasonable prices and always can find what I need.
Great place to buy produce and fish. Their snack aisle is to die for with candies from Japan to the Philippines.
A much better vibe than the larger Asian supermarket, with top notch produce and a great selection of frozen goods and treats.
Awesome, you can definitely get important stuff here rather than taking a long ride to the other Asian market
Best oriental market in Albany. Parking can be tight, but you can park in place behind and pass through fence.
Good selection of Asian food. Was not able to find some of the things I was looking for here, but what can you do.
This place is so good to buy fresh fish here
Love it, I shop here every Sunday for fresh seafood,they even clean and filet it for you.
Great Asian food market. Everything I need is here. Cheapest prices on fresh vegetables, fish, and seafood.
Great selection of food as well as cooking equipment!
The food is always fresh and tasty. Youu can purchase all you can eat for a reasonable price.
Good grocery store but sometimes have expired food on discount. JUST be careful
Great spot good prices. Has everything you need.
Great selection of stuffs and foods.
Great selection of herbs at great prices. Good dim sum pork buns.
Fresh fish, variety of different food, they even have a raw peanut, very nice place
Interesting spot for Asian specialty ingredients, frozen foods, meat, live seafood, and some dining supplies (plates, knives, various items)
Nice market to have in this neighborhood. A lot of seafood and harder-to-find specialty products, but at a good price.
Very easy to shop. Can get live seafood. Parking is a little bit hard sometimes.
Excellent Asian Market. Variety is limitless. The staff are very helpful and cordial.
Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I look forward in going again.
Great place, fun to shop and a great selection.
Is ok. Not crowded. Must clean a little bit more.
I love that they have fresh fish and the staff are very friendly.
I have been shopping there for years and recommend it to all of my foodies
Food and veggies are good but they keep live animals in disgusting containers piled on top of each other in feces and urine.
Love this place. Always friendly and have good stock. Could be a little cleaner.
The produce always fresh and good deal
They are very rude here and also have terrible service serously I could get better service from a baby and some of the seafood is always dead
Although all the products on the shelves are Asian the seafood is fresh and well priced
Always have a great variety of grocery items at reasonable prices
I come here for the fresh blue shell crabs and salmon steak
Great Selection!! Best Veggies as well and very reasonably priced!
Good price 👍 go and shop you will see
Variety of dried fruits 😋
Its cheaper than the grocery store with more variety.
Cleanness- badStaff- decentFood- mehLocation- badVariety- goodThey have live critters from the sea and they also have a bunch of Roman Noodles.
Decent selection, though not as wide a variety as other stores in the area.
Its nice but employees are not helpful and even they cannot speak English
A lot of good things at a good price
Customer service is very poor, the cashiers is very rude, and no one understands English.

2022-04-04What a good place to get fish and shellfish.
Review №3
2022-03-15Wide selection of Aisian groceries. Extensive fresh and frozen fish, as well as meats. They have a hot bar for takeout opening around lunchtime. Large selection of fruits and vegetables, many specialty varieties. Many kinds of rice and noodles, as well as tofu and seitan products. Large frozen section. If you need it, they probably have it, but you will have to find it yourself. No real customer support for locating items.
Review №4
2021-07-13Variety of asian food (sticky rice, vietnamese pancake- banh xeo flour, kimchi...). Clean vegetables and fish/meat sections.
Review №5
2022-05-04Variety of fresh fish. Bass, Red Snapper, flounder, butterfish. Wouldnt say the price was cheap. A pound of butterfish cost about 3.99 or close to it. A thumbs up. Great Asian market. 👍

2022-06-27This is my favorite market! As a Chef, I drive 45 miles once a week to shop here for my family cooking needs. I love Asian, Chinese, Thai, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean food better than “American” foods! The prices are great! Awesome selection of teas, bean pastes, cereals, snacks, cookies, candy, tons of Asian condiments and noodles. A room with cooking utensils, woks, knives, dishes, etc. A room with fresh vegetables, cabbage, cukes, bok choy, beans, etc…Tons of spices, starches, dumpling mixes, they have about everything you need!! Pretty good fresh fish, shrimp, crabs, snails, etc…( they dress them for you). some baked goods and lots of dairy products tofu etc… They have a large selection of freezer items. Fresh tofu, bamboo shoots, scallions, bean sprouts, mushrooms, etc…They even have lanterns and other pretty decorating items. I have shopped every “ Ethnic Market” within 100 miles of Albany-for the selection and prices this one is the BEST!!!!!**Avoid Kims market ( very high prices, not really friendly).

2022-05-14This is the place I get my vegetables: green beans, sugar peas, coriander, chives, and leeks. They also have cheap, frozen potstickers. Got my carbon steel wok here as well.

Review №9
2022-01-18Fish in cloudy, gross filthy tanks.. Surprised health department doesnt condem this place.Produce moldy and dirty, not fit for wild animals. I got to the counter and had a few bottled items that didnt total $10.00. Employee told me rudely, no cards allowed, cash only. I didnt have cash on me, so I took my business to upper Central Avenue asian grocery. They took my card.

2022-04-10They only had 3 different kinds of korean ramen and those are even not popular taste in Korea. (even Shin ramyun/ jin ramyun or samyang ramyun were not there) A lot of chinese brands but you only can kind very few/none of Korean brands in every item selection.
