chinese grocery with a great selection of very inexpensive, fresh fruits and vegetables; fresh seafood, a decent selection of Russian goods including A few varieties of Russian beer, and various Chinese cooking utensils like rice cookers. and they have their own parking lot.
Although it is in competition with the other 3 major Chinese supermarkets on the strip of Avenue U between Ocean Avenue and Coney Island Avenue, it has a distinct advantage. This supermarket actually has a parking lot! What a genius idea! Unlike the other 3 markets on Avenue U, where many drivers have to scramble for parking spots, you never have to worry about it here. Although I don't live too far from Avenue U, if I did, I would definitely go to this market all the time since I prefer to drive.
With that said, the prices at this market are pretty much standard for all of their items. I noticed maybe a slight markup on their frozen meats, pre-packaged meats, but it's only by a few cents at the most. As for their fruits and vegetables, the prices are on par with the others. The food is of the same quality as well. There tends to be less patrons at this market though because it isn't at the heart of Avenue U and is instead located on Coney Island Avenue. I usually see more people of other ethnicities here than of Chinese ethnicity as well. I think it's just due to the convenience of the parking lot and that the majority of the people who drive here are from further areas. Since it is rarely crowded, the parking lot never is full.
I would recommend this supermarket to anyone who needs to drive to a Chinese supermarket and cannot ever find parking. The prices are the same and there are less people here so you don't have to deal with overcrowding. Also, they accept credit cards!
