Whether you are hunting for authentic dim sum, succulent roast meats, or hard-to-find Asian veggies, Top Asia Mart has you covered.

For those who appreciate authentic flavors, consider their delectable offerings such as roast duck and bbq roast pork, guaranteed to satisfy cravings for comforting and familiar dishes. On weekends, many patrons share the love for their freshly made dumplings, potstickers, and an extensive selection of frozen meats. As Emme K. highlights, the store thrives on a well-curated selection that supports not just Chinese cuisine, but also Filipino staples like ensaymada and kuchinta.
However, some reviews do indicate a need for improvements in the store’s ambiance and lighting. While the vast selection is commendable, an enhanced shopping environment would certainly elevate the overall experience. Customers have expressed a desire for better-lit spaces to easily identify goods in the frozen section and more variety in housewares.
Despite these critiques, the consensus remains that **Top Asia Mart** is a valuable asset, filling a culinary gap in the Westchester area. It stands in beautiful contrast to the hustle and bustle of larger chains like HMart, providing a quieter, yet equally enriching shopping experience. As the community continues to grow, we hope that this charming marketplace continues to thrive, offering diverse and authentic Asian groceries to locals and visitors alike.
If you’re in the area, don’t miss the chance to indulge in the authentic offerings of **Top Asia Mart**. With its unique selection and community-focused vibe, it promises to be a rewarding culinary journey.
A gem. Not sure of these low reviews -- maybe the market was under different management before? But love coming to pick up dim sum and roast meats on the weekend, and stocking up on Asian veggies and the like. A good selection of Chinese groceries as well as a surprisingly good selection of SE Asian ingredients as well. Store is clean and organized and the staff is very helpful when you ask them, and most speak English as well as Cantonese and Mandarin. Feels like a family run business, and I'm happy to support them. Cannot complain for the suburbs.
I was happy to find this place because I've been searching high and low for a Chinese dessert that used to commonly be referred to as Wife Cake. My grandmother would always have some in her home whenever I came over to visit her and this was a favorite sweet treat of mine. Hmart doesn't stock this type of melon cake (according to their staff) so I went on a hunt looking. I wish Westchester had more Asian food offerings. I guess it's called Melon Cake now (in bakery section in front of store). It satisfied my nostalgia but the ones my grandmother gave me were a little tastier. These were a 3.7/5 so not bad. They stocked a bunch of my other favorites- preserved plum, candied ginger, seaweed lavers, chrysanthemum tea, milk candy (has a rabbit logo), etc. The staff there are very polite from the cashiers to the people who maintain the shelves. The overall condition of the store is good. It's kept clean and organized. They had everything I wanted. I will return for hot pot items pretty soon. As an aside it's near some great stores a short drive away. My husband and I prefer this place over the chaos of Hmart though they all serve a good purpose of making our beloved international food available. I hope this small business continues to thrive. The tea selection was pretty good, the snack selection was decent, great noodle section and condiment section. There's a small seafood section but honestly they still had a good variety. Cute housewares and knick knack sections but I wish they had a bit more. The produce section was decent with a variety. I only bought apricots, scallion, baby bok choy, and cilantro. They were all fresh. The frozen section had a great dumpling, potsticker, and meat section. I just wish the back few freezers were lit up so I could see all the contents better. Honestly, I'm thankful this place exists. I highly recommend that you check them out. The cashier speaks English too besides Cantonese and Mandarin. She was super helpful. They have good hours.
If you don't like the market then don't go!! No need to ruin a small business. It carries lots of variety
I can't imagine why anyone would give this place a poor review. It has the most extensive selection of Asian brands and ingredients of anyplace this side of the Hudson. I love HMart, and Top Asia offers far more variety of ingredients than HMart. Maybe HMart has more selection of bulgogi and fish. Net net is this place is a valuable asset to the area. We are woefully weak on Asian markets. Top Asia is a welcome oasis.
I think the name of this market is now Top Asia Mart. I come here to get my dim sum fill, roast duck, bbq roast pork, noodles, etc. on Saturdays when "the van" shows up with all of the goodies (that I'm presuming is straight from Flushing or equivalent source of authentic Chinese food). I also come here for Chinese decorations, hong bao envelopes and more. Lastly, I pick up my Filipino groceries (enseymada, Ube bread) and desserts like Kuchinta, Sapin Sapin, and more! The people who work there are nice. I hope this place stays open forever as they are serving a huge community up in the Westchester and CT area
Easy to get to, plenty of parking, great selection! Sticky rice red beans with bamboo leaves was off, tasted bad, will not try it again!
To be honest I didn't expect that much at this grocery but there is a wide variety of asian food/things that you can buy here! The grocery is huge! the interior is old and everytime I go here I felt depressed lol! Because of the lighting and the mood of the store but there is a lot of good stuffs here! Things and food that I love are: Wide variety of Filipino foods! They have ice cream, breads, warm foods! Snacks are a lot too! I can find some of the food here that are not in a typical asian store like Hmart or groceries in Queens! Will I buy here? Yes af course! It is kinda far if you live in the city, you need a car. There is a parking on the front so it is not a problem. Good varieties of food!!
I'm so happy I found this place! There aren't any Chinese supermarkets in the area, and the closest thing is Hmart. Don't get me wrong, Hmart is great but it is technically a Korean supermarket with 1-2 sections for other cuisines e.g. Chinese or Japanese. I can't find a lot of goods that I'm familiar with back at home, but New Golden has this special section of Chinese dim sum, roast duck, roast chicken, Chinese bakery breads and buns, even freshly made flat rice noodles everyday. I think that's what's special about this place. But unfortunately it seems this supermarket is on the dying end. It's pretty darkly lit and there are never a lot of customers. Really only one clerk needed at all times despite having many check out stations. It's location as well is ghostly, not like Trader Joe's 5 mins down the road where there are many cars going in and out I unfortunately bc of how empty it is don't really trust the meat. Vegetables as well are on the lower end and I'm not sure how fresh everything is. I really hope they find a way to light things up! Could be due to the low Chinese population in the area but it would be sad if this place ever closed down
