Make sure you wear a coat or a jacket when you come shopping at Great Wall Supermarket. The Meat/Seafood section as well as all other areas with a freezer is so cold. Brrr… Even the staff who works in these areas are with a jacket or coat.
Look at the circular for sale items. Always remember to check expiration dates on products. This is very typical of Asian supermarkets to sell items that are close to expiration date.
Amazing, no fishy smell and the aisle are clean with no water all over the floor. Bought a pound of medium size shrimp. Saw a whole tub of Squid. Too much work to clean, too hot to fry and make Frito Squid Today.Tip go early when there is no one around. Best time to shop and you can park any where you want in the lot before the mad rush.
Saw aisle of Italian, Turkish, Greek, Polish treats. Near bread area is the Mexican cookies, etc… Got some Chocolate Croissants made from Italy. No need to run all the way to Manhattan to Ferrara Bakery. Although, I would love a Cappuccino right now and Tiramisu. Anyways, back to the review.
There is free parking. If you are on Horace Harding Blvd heading toward Junction Blvd make a right on 99th street. You will see at corner that GW etched on the glass. Drive down the street and make a left onto 57th Avenue and will see parking on left hand side after turn that say Welcome to Lefrak…, drive up ramp and park. They give you a 2 hour time frame to park. Good for residents of Lefrak City Residents and the surrounding neighborhood.
Can you believe it Mets Roasted Peanuts sold here?
Impressive. Pretty good quality selection and decor for an Asian supermarket. LED lights, energy efficient freezers, wood flooring and an atrium? Plus (so far) free rooftop parking. Similar to SkyFoods in Flushing, GW in Rego Park/Elmhurst area may be undergoing the same gentrification stages associated with new luxury high rises nearby. Hence the fancier look. Perhaps slightly out of character for the neighborhood but time will tell if it's embraced. Almost like an Asian Costco!
Love it! Huge supermarket in the area that has a large variety of foods. It's handy to have Rite Aid and Food Bazaar nearby so you have plenty of options. I love getting a variety of vegetables so GW has a lot of that! Plenty of meat, fish, vegetables, and dry goods. Really convenient to have such a large market in the area. They open early and close late. In and out shopping. Never too long of a wait with plenty of cashiers.
