| - Lots and lots and lots of stuff, definitely a supermarket. Packed with a truly enormous variety of choices. Although weirdly I have had trouble finding some specific items (mostly spices or peppers) and more luck at tiny local stores. However in general this is a good one stop store to try first for your Asian grocery shopping needs. It is pretty well kept, probably because it is quite busy.
Let's talk about the fresh food. All the reviews mention it. It's not like five star quality knock your socks off restaurant food, let's be honest, it's basically fast food / street food. But it's freshly made, extremely tasty, and in a style unfamiliar to many outside of a dim sum place or a plane ticket out of Charlotte. I have never tasted a thing there I disliked, and I usually accidentally get twice as much as I can actually eat. I could go back and get 5 lo mai gai and eat all of them and want 5 more. Can I adequately judge whether they are actually good lo mai gai? Hell no, it's not like I'm an expert, I've so rarely had them. But... I can certainly say that I love them lots. And the buns, and the soups. Also all the people at the food counters are really nice. So I wouldn't go in expecting to get blown away but if your expectations are set correctly, you will probably enjoy something there.
To be honest despite its size, there is nothing obscure that super g mart carries that makes it worth driving there, over visiting a smaller market near me. But I wouldn't mind shopping here regularly if it was the most convenient Asian grocery store to me, it is perfectly fine.
