NSA Supermarket

This store carries a multitude of items that you might only find in specialty stores. I like the produce section it’s always clean. They not only carry all fresh produce but even hard to find or random things like jicama and other roots that I love to eat. This store has so much ethnic diversity in selection you can buy all your groceries without having to go to different stores. They also run great specials and have a large selection of heath foods.
The prepared food is tasty as well. The wraps are really good. Staff is helpful. This is a great store.

I stop in here often after work to pick up groceries there is a decent selection of produce and it’s a few feet from the bus stop, they also will deliver your groceries to your home if necessary!

For people who work in the immediate area in Jamaica, Queens… healthy food is a difficult quest. I am very glad to see NSA Supermarket’s presence.
I walked into the supermarket today to get salad dressing. Still very new looking and I love that they have a food section here. They have sushi, Spanish food platters, rotisserie chicken, sandwiches, pre-​made salads, and fruit platters. Of course, they cannot be compared to Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods, Inc. but NSA carries the necessary grocery items. I love the bagels and coffee in the morning before I head back to my office. Everything in the supermarket is neatly organized.
Not bad!

I buy lunch here when I am in the area for a court assignment. The deli inside is clean and the cold cuts are fresh. The staff is polite and sandwiches get made fairly quickly.
I have not tried any of the hot food yet.

I used to frequent this place over a year until I noticed there were no black people working there. I inquired about it and was told by the fat bearded female manager they had a black butcher. LoL
Along with their questionable meat section, nasty looking & tasting baked goods I stopped going here.
I cannot support an establishment where I don’t see anyone who looks like me. Interestingly enough, the people who work there are Dominican but would never consider themselves of African decent.
To each their own but I wouldn’t recommend this spot to anyone.

Thanks to a previous reviewer, I sought out something else at NSA besides the usual groceries today: lunch! The hot food station around the corner from the deli counter serves a decent array of Latin food. For $ 6.99 I got a giant heaping plate of cod, rice, beans, plantains, and veggies. I swear it weighed 3 lbs and will be 2 – 3 meals for me. The nice lady at the counter saw that I was eyeing the veggies and heaped on some more bc «I see your face.» That wins this lunch spot some points :) Otherwise, NSA is just your typical supermarket with some extra «ethic» groceries thrown in for the neighborhood locals. It ain’t no Trader Joes, but you can get what you need, the lines are short, and it’s clean.

Don’t go there if you are not of Spanish ethnicity. They are being helped first at the deli counter, so you will end up waiting there endlessly. you may not like the food selection either, all fat, sugar and salt.

There was a fire in this area a few years ago & it gutted several law offices, 99 cents store & a supermarket which was then known as Trade Fair. After a massive construction the area now housed a building with a department store, a Signature bank and an NSA supermarket.
Sutphin Boulevard located between Hillside & Jamaica Avenue is an area which primarily houses the Supreme Court, Civil Court, Housing and Family Courts, several law firms (I work in one of them for the last 10 years). A supermarket nearby is a welcome sight to all of us working in the area. It’s nowhere near the Whole Foods or Traders Joes category but it provides all the basic necessities. I find myself wandering there every morning for my Hazelnut Coffee & Toasted Bagel w/​Cream Cheese and their home cooked food to go is awesome and priced so affordable, I see people from the court buying their lunches there… at $ 6.99, with 3 choices, Stewed Oxtail, Fried Plaintains & Peas & Rice you can’t beat it. The food varies everyday. They also have a delicious Rotisserie Chicken for $ 6.99 daily.
They have a wide selection of fresh produce… Vegetables and Fruits, Fresh herbs and ground provisions. Also you’ll find ethnic spices, which I love, dairy and bakery products. Their cakes and Pies are not bad either. I had picked up a few for co-​workers Birthdays!!! the convenience of having it close by is great for mothers like me for some last minute pick up for items one needs before going home.

I suppose I’m of the few that like this store and let me tell you why. If you EVER want something that is from a Latin American country, THIS IS YOUR PLACE TO BE. I have recently acquired an awesome rotisserie oven and I wanted to use it to make the mouth watering Peruvian rotisserie chicken– as if rotisserie weren’t already fanta-​bulous, the Peruvians took it up a few notches– hence thriving spots such as Pio Pio Rico, etc. etc.
ANYHOW, the so-​called authentic recipe uses certain Peruvian seasonings that are not found in your local «ethnic» aisle filled with Goya products with a couple other Caribbean (grace), Chinese (La Choy), and other miscellaneous items. I found the elusive Huacatay — black mint paste here along with some other central and south American goodies that I could not find elsewhere– and I did not have to travel to Jackson Heights for it. They sell nopales, tomatillos, herbs that I never heard of, lots of various root vegetables, and tons of dried, canned and jarred goods from abroad. They had some different flavors of Chobani yogurt on sale too so I snatched those up too.
Not bad at all. I wasn’t shopping for milk or everyday items so I can’t comment on that– but they had plenty of meat, poultry and fresh fruits and veggies for sale– not sure what the other reviewers are talking about. Perhaps NSA has added more items since. All I know is, if I am wanting to make a dish that is authentic to central and south america– in addition to the Caribbean, this spot will likely have what I need!
I would give it more stars if it were bigger with wider aisles and had parking, but hey,
it’s on Sutphin blvd just off of Jamaica Ave, what can you really expect?
(I am rating this place based on my understanding of it’s location– Jamaica, NY, it will not be the same as a supermarket in a more open and suburban part of town with luxurious parking and pretty streets!)

This place is ok for your basic necessities, fairly decent selection of ethnic items. I don’t come here often when I do its just for a few things. The produce doesn’t really look all that fresh to me most times. Deli items are inexpensive good selection of boars head line of products

Shopping on Sutphin Boulevard is not like Jamaica Avenue amid both are in Queens. NSA Supermarket comprises of wide aisles and a good selection of frozen prepared meals as Bird’s Eye (formerly Voila) or Bertolli. They carry mango pudding, Lychee pudding, almond pudding and a good selection of produce. Oddly, NSA do not carry Dole Caesar Salad Kit but they do have the sister version of Dole Lite Caesar Salad Kit.
There are a few ethnic food items and merchandise is not plastered on the floor to blockage patrons from freely shopping. Aisles are organized and labeled properly for easy access without hovering a question mark for confusion. I do not believe there is a parking lot available, but it conveniently sits near all points bulletin for LIRR Jamaica; Jamaica Air Train; J, Z subways and buses.
The correct address is: 89 – 30 Sutphin Boulevard and their web site:
