| - Super G is not new to me. I've been here plenty of times, but I've never posted a review. I shop here for ethnic ingredients because the store that I usually go to is much further away.
Overall, this store is neat, well stocked, and has small businesses within itself. I mainly cook southeast Asian food. The selection for my dishes are slim, but that's not their fault. Super G is catered to Korean ingredients. I manage to find the majority of what I need even if it's not the brand that I desired. They have a variety of vegetables and fruits. As with other grocery stores, you'll have to pick out your vegetables. Sometimes the leaves can be shriveled and dry.
The meat is cheap and fresh. I've only bought shrimp and mussels from this location, which I think is a bit pricey. General groceries like milk and eggs are a bit pricey here also. The bags of rice are a pretty good price, but depends on the quality of rice that you want. You can usually find a bag of rice within your budget.
The Korean restaurant within Super G is OK. I honestly think their food is a little bland. If you come to Super G just to eat, save your money and pay less by dining at Pepero (five more minutes away). There is also a bakery that sells steamed buns and boba tea right beside the restaurant. In my opinion, I've had better boba tea, but the steam buns were pretty good.
La Panderia next to the boba tea isn't all that great. I haven't had a chance to try their cakes, but they look very delicious. My review is just on the sweet bread. I didn't care for it too much. It was too sweet and sometimes it was hard. Also, a little fly somehow found its way in and no one bothered to shoo it away.
Honestly, I think Super G is a tad bit pricier than other Asian markets in Charlotte. However, since they are no more than 2-3 miles away from me, I'd rather pay the tad bit higher price than waste my time and gas driving 30 minutes away to my favorite grocery store.
