I shop at Asian grocery stores, from time to time. When I am out in Queens, I tend to go to H Mart in Williston Park on Long Island. H Mart is best for one reason: You can buy reasonably priced sashimi and indulge/gorge until your heart beats with delight. You can buy all the accoutrement and make the plate real pretty.
This plate consists of tuna, salmon, octopus, yellow tail, seaweed salad, and the “smelly” daikon salad (My co-workers had a huge issue with the daikon salad when I brought it into work one day. They threatened to go to HR to stop me from eating the smelly food!) Of course, I also had ginger and wasabi. All in all, this plate was less than $50. The effort to cut up the sashimi was minimal. The presentation was beautiful.
So why wouldn’t you do the same, if you are a sashimi fan and eating out in restaurants is not always economically viable?
The H Mart in Hartsdale (Westchester, NY) has a hot food court (My post on Reliable Food Court Eating). That’s also an excellent option for delicious Asian food with ingredients straight from the supermarket. This is as close to Asian local/home eating as one gets in the New York ti-state area.
This experience took place in
H Mart

P.S. This is my 6th of 17 challenge, writing one post a day until I go on vacation this month.

The fish department in HMart in Williston NY and Great Neck NY are racists to anyone not Korean or white. If you are Chinese or any other race they will disrespect you. They will always serve the Koreans and whites first. If you want to buy fish from this HMart and you are not white or Korean, don’t bother giving these people your money.

Hello Henry, Thank you for reading my post and for your comments. Fortunately, my experience with H Mart in Williston has been good. I have not had any issues with how they treat me. I am not white nor Korean. Perhaps they have improved since your last visit?
