Super Q Market — Local services in Waterbury

Today was my first time shopping at Super Q Market, and what a pleasant surprise. They have everything, from an entire row filled with every type of ramen imaginable, to delicious kimchi, dumplings, fruits and vegetables, meats: the variety of items is endless! The prices are incredible, too: I bought 2-64 ounce huge jars of kimchi ($6.99 per jar; a 14 ounce jar at Target is $5.99), a 4 pack of imported Paldo Jjajangmen Ramen ($5.99; same item is $14.00 on Amazon), and 2 huge 21 ounce bags of Pork, Shrimp, and Spinach Dumplings ($6.99 each; similar item at Walmart is $3.97 for a 9 oz. package and they're NOT good). Grand total : $34.99, WOW 👏.

Someone left a review stating that this store is "closing out". I asked the owner/cashier, and she laughed and said "no", so they aren't going out of business any time soon. This store is a hidden gem for the Waterbury area, and I highly recommend that everyone reading this patronize this supermarket, even if you don't love Asian cooking. BTW: They take all of the major credit cards, and it's not crowded: important, especially during this pandemic.

There's something here for everyone, and the prices...

Fresh produce which tastes as it should... I wouldn't compare it with Chinese markets in Brooklyn but this is more than adequate. You do find varieties of frozen foods and fish unlike fresh fish in Brooklyn(don't know why I'm comparing but I guess for those who have seen bot I guess?) stores. You can find ocra, Karela, bitter melon, Daikon radish, Turnips, Turnip greens and mustard greens... easily the kind of stuff that you wouldn't find in local supermarkets. There is and assortment of rice, flour and spices in the aisles. Though every once in a while you'll find stuff unique to Target of all places... if you're into tea then this is your place... everything that should or shouldn't be called a tea is here... enjoy!

Update 07/01/21 I like buying and supporting local businesses however pricing stuff arbitrarily or by looking at or judging client is plain and simple dishonest. A $2.00 difference will not put a dent on my wallet but will certainly make me apprehensive. So people when the cashier doesn't scan the item and instead charge what they feel like ... do get a second opinion, if...

I’ve never been. The reviews were very mixed. I took a chance. It did not pay off. First of all the store itself smells terrible. It smells like rotting fish and meat. The store inside was very dirty. Almost all the produce was covered in mold. I saw some wrapped meat also had mold. Almost all the boxed and bottled items expired weeks to months ago, and some over a year prior. Nothing was fresh. It all was rather upsetting to me. I came because my son has an interest in trying foods and beverages from Japan and other Asian countries. I’m glad I came without him because he would have been so upset. I made no purchases. I was tempted to take photographs however I felt very intimidated in the space. One of the employees was watching the customers shop. There were only 3 shoppers including myself. I will be like the numerous poor reviewers. I will...
