Gold Valley Supermarket - Springfield, New Jersey

Large, grocery store size Asian market that has just about everything you could ever imagine and more.

The cashier advised knowing what you need before coming in or you could end up browsing for a very long time

Store is very large - did I mention that? Store is not new and feels a bit trafficked but is well stocked and organized. I thought produce was terrific, everything looked very nice and a lot of stuff you probably can't get at other stores. For example - large fresh baboo shoots and seaweed you can scoop out from a bowl of...I'm assuming salty water? I also noted (trigger warning) they had full head of pig - the whole thing with nose, ears etc. this may not be appealing to many people but this just suggests very fresh meat, possibly butchery etc. Large selection of fresh fish, large selection of teas, hot sauce, rice and everything imaginable.

There are also housewares with a very nice selection of woks and cooking tools.

We did grab some dim some and a couple other more fresh looking take out food available in the middle of the store (because I got so hungry browsing the place for like and hour). They kindly heated it up in the micro and gave us some soy sauce and forks. Staff said that after COVID they no longer prepare food fresh on a daily basis but rather every day fresh dim sum and other prepared foods were brought in from Chinatown NY.

This makes sense and the store definitely has that city feel and based on how authentic everything is it's clear there is a close connection (maybe) with another establishment in NYC

They keep the store quite cold so make sure you are prepared, at least in the winter.

I love going to this Asian market. I love making Asian food and this is my go to for so the ingredients. It's taken me a long time to get acquainted with the layout of the store and with all the thousands of ingredients and I still spend tons of time there exploring each aisle! I love their produce, especially the greens. I buy mangos from there every summer. Tofu, fresh noodles and the prepared foods are great?

Hello,
this message is to leadership and owner of this store. I have been shopping here for 3 years and your shopping cart is still the same; dirty, rusty and wheel issues. Please get new shopping carts. The child seat and belt area is also dirty and stained. It would make shopping here much better if the carts are upgraded and I would definitely frequent this store more.

Convenient location for many Asian pantry staples! Roast Pork buns in a pinch; my son's favorite. The store is very old school Chinatown or Flushing feeling - a little smelly and funky but typical for those who grew up going to stores like this. I've gotten meat from the butcher but don't trust the freshness of the fish. Great instant ramen selection and decent frozen food selection.

Pros: Extensive variety.
Cons: Questionable quality—this is my second time encountering an issue. The first time, I provided feedback but did not receive a refund or follow-up. Despite that, I returned because I found products I liked in this store. This time, I bought mochi ice cream, and the mochi skin was clumped together when I opened it, with a strange blue pigment.

Love this store. I go there everytime I visit my dentist now - they have stuff u don't get anywhere else...the only issue is, they have become quite pricy!
But some of their fish is really fresh and good and they have cooked food too.

READ EXPIRATION DATES! EXPIRED FOODS! I've shopped in this store 6 times and twice came home with expired dried foods: cookies and noodles. I know from experience that many foods are good for a time after their expiration date markings. But when the noodles tasted rancid and i looked at the package for a date, i found that they had been expired for a month. Same with the cookies. On the other hand their fresh vegetables are very nice.

Wonderful Asian supermarket with all sorts of food, groceries and meats/seafood available! Perfect place to find those items you typically would not find in any other generic shopping centers! Conveniently located on Morris Avenue in Union with plenty of parking spaces as well. I would highly recommend!
