Million Asian Market

I enjoy shopping here. Tons of fresh vegetables, condiments, spices, and prepared foods covering a wide spectrum of Asian cuisines. It’s usually much cheaper than buying similar ingredients at a bigger supermarket and is always clean and well-​organized, which is essential when you can’t read a single thing on the labels and have to navigate by memory alone. The proprietress and her ubiquitous lapdog are also very pleasant.

I’m duke at Millions Asian Market… This place is definitely cleaner than Hong Kong Market. The service is friendlier too.
One thing you might want to think about, however, is whether it’s okay to have the store owner’s dog inside the store all the time. I don’t mind, but others might.

I am sad to say this but I got Japanese rice from this place, and I was washing the rice and something long and white came out. I realized that there were actually lots of little worms inside the bag of rice. this made me want to vomit and never want to eat rice again.
I definetly won’t be buying from here again… not sure how fresh things are.

Website’s back, and this little market seems to improve every time I visit. A wide selection of dry goods, fresh vegetables, and live fish! The drawing’s by the owners’ child are very nice. One can park in the lot next door.

Nice little Asian market in New Haven. A bit overpriced? Yes but that’s expected. It’s convenient for finding your everyday Asian produce and foods. They also have a small bubble tea bar.

I like getting my Asian vegetables here because they seem cheaper than going to Elm City Market. Everything is clean and really organized which makes it easy to get more than you bargained for.

Very clean~~and staffs are sooo friendly ~~

Very lovely market and yes it is clean as a whistle. Charming place with a ton of choices from groceries to meat to produce. I bought a large amount of staples (two bags full) for $ 30 so I think the prices are decent. They have a ton of snacks and Asian «junk» food which is fun to try.
I will be back for more when I run out of soba and sticky rice!

a very neat asian market.

You know, I generally don’t like Asian markets for a variety of reasons (often the overpowering smell of raw fish, the general clutter, sometimes a dusty/​poorly maintained feel), but this has none of that!
It’s a relative pleasure to shop in; the produce is cheap and flavorful and surprisingly stays fresh for quite some time. I’m usually able to get what I need when I need it and I like the way it turns out.
Some specific notes: the avocados here are actually quite good. The bottled garlic is a bit meh. The onions, while giant, are extremely strong for white onions. The «Chinese cilantro» is quite good, as is the long hot pepper. Overall — strongly recommended.

It is very clean in there unlike other asian market around. The price might be a little bit higher than others, but they do have products from Japan which most of other markets have limited items.
I like there because it is clean. Everything is in order, nice display. They do have fresh seafood. They also have small daily use items for kitchen, and gift sets of Asian dishes.
If you like clean, organized market, you will like there.

J-​Mart used to be my choice of Asian market in the New Haven area but NO longer.
Store used to be owned by two families; Taiwanese and Korean. They carried both Korean and Chinese (specifically Taiwanese) brands. Though the prices were a bit higher than usual, the store was well run and well worth going. Not to mention they also had AWESOME (and I say this having drank many many many bubble teas) bubble tea.
However, it’s been sold to a new family (can’t remember if it was late last year or early this year) and it has gone severely downhill ever since. I was actually there during the transition and the previous owners had more or less warned me about this change (or rather said «they don’t know anything» some fightin’ words there…). They don’t carry the same products and actually carry LESS than before (this is a medium/​small-​ish store as is, why would you want to carry less?). Products are not as fresh and the staff are not as friendly (not to mention unprofessional). Their baked goods are often not fresh and are actually smushed. They no longer carry any of the ready-​made foods either (used to have Korean/​Chinese small foods/​zhongzhi sitting out front on a table) and you can tell the canned goods/​snacks have been sitting out for a while (dusty on the tops). Not to mention the bubble tea is AWFUL. Prices are still the around the same-​but there is NO reason for it now. OH and they’re changing the name (ripped out the J-​mart sign out front).
The ramen selection is still alright. That’s about it.

This market is clean and organized, but on the small side. They do have the basic Asian groceries. Prices are slightly higher than Hong Kong Market. Love that they have live fish. I didn’t need any fish today, but will definitely return when I do.

Re-​visiting family I found myself eating great Italian food and of course the world’s best pizza (Sally’s). But craving sushi made me want to find a market where I could buy sushi-​grade fish and have a feast of my own. As I did my research I was pleasantly surprised. J-​Mart proved to be an amazing Asian market that had just about anything you could possibly wish for. I called first to ask if they had sushi-​grade salmon or tuna and they said yes, both. So I drove downtown and remembered the New Haven Colliseum being in that vicinity, but was pleased at how nicely renovated that area was. The market was super clean, the gentleman was really cordial, helping me find everything I needed. The fish was frozen as I had expected and very reasonably priced ($ 8 /​lb for salmon
and $ 9/​lb for tuna). The produce was excellent and I left there with everything I needed to have a wonderful Japonese dinner (I stopped at Formosa Fusion on Middletown Avenue to buy some sticky rice … Didn’t have the patience to make it and was too hungry to wait!) … So we made some soy paper handrolls, Miso soup (instant was great) … And drank a few Sapporo beers… Nice dinner… Thank you J-​Mart!

Love this market. The produce is super cheap and pretty good. Bulk tofu is a steal. Compared to the other popular asian market in New Haven, the service here is awesome. The guy that runs the place is really nice. I don’t buy any of the meat or fish, but it looks pretty good and fresh. Go there if you get a chance!

Of the handful of Asian markets in New Haven, J-​Mart is easily the biggest, and yay yay yay, the closest to my house. The place is Chinese-​run but offerings cover all types of Asian cuisine and snacking needs. Check out the selection of Asian ice cream, and grab the one that looks like a wafer goldfish — it is stuffed with red bean and vanilla ice cream and makes me oh, so happy.
Prices are reasonable. The service can be a little spotty. They don’t get too many customers at a time, and I have taken my groceries to an empty register more than once. Still, none of this has reached the level of annoying, and I really have no complaints about the place.
I think I’m going to start getting my seafood here. You can’t get much fresher than live, right? I’ve heard stories of the owners of Royal Palace across the street running in frantically and demanding lobsters. I enjoy the fish there, so it’s got to be good enough to eat at home.
Not that I’ve ever used it, but there’s free parking at the Chatterton lot on Orange and George. Happy shopping.
