Good Selection

1. Sunrise Mart

Neighborhood: Manhattan/East Village

good-- better than M2M uptown.  This is also not one of those Asian grocers where random foods from all over Asia are thrown together, and there's just a small selection from each place.  At Sunrise...

it at Kukje too (in Daly City).  Looks like they have a good ramen selection and a decent selection of frozen Korean dumplings.  However, I didn't see any buns or bread?  Big negative.  Buns are an important...

Neighborhood: Manhattan/East Village

3. Han Ah Reum

Neighborhood: Queens/Downtown Flushing

This place is really good cause the parking lot is big so you can take your car here and park with no worries. Also they have a very big variety of fruits and food in general. It is always kept clean....
