SunSeng Supermarket

I’ve purchased some Chinese Food ingredients and groceries from them, and I find them to be very reasonable with their prices
.

I like the supermarket. He has a good inventory of things. I just don’t dig the location. If you’re not familiar with the area, you will miss the turn and have to do the whole turn around since this is Jersey. What I also like is Thai Son restaurant next door.
Their website is pretty cool too.
Not many Asian markets have websites besides like Hmart or so.

Interesting supermarket with hard to find products from Asia.

It’s not the best Asian market I’ve ever visited, but it’s got a pretty large selection nonetheless. Big bonus is the amazing restaurant that is located in the same shopping plaza. Worth the trip for both, but not for this supermarket alone.
This isn’t to say you can’t fill most of your Asian cooking needs here on the cheap. You can. And they have fresh fish in the tanks, although it makes me sad to see them all crammed in there together. Large produce department. Good selection of sauces & whatnot. Not so hot if you’re looking for more Korean & Japanese oriented food stuff.

This whole complex is like a little Vietnam Town in itself. The supermarket has a typical selection of Asian food – great prices, but be alert for freshness and quality. A good price doesn’t necessarily mean good quality. Regardless, there are some things here you’re definitely not gonna find in your typical grocery store – specialty sauces, your choice of any frozen dumpling, specialty Asian snacks and candies, spices and tea on the cheap and in bulk… the list goes on. Great stuff.
But what I really wanted to comment on is the new banh mi stand that’s opened up in the corner here. Actually, the first time I tried going here, it was too late and they weren’t making any more sandwiches (Mid-​February 2013). The second time (March 15, 2013), out of twelve items on the menu, only six were available. However, they were really great about following directions (e.g., no mayo). As for the actual sandwich? Excellent!
The roll used was reminiscent of an Amoroso roll – that is, softer and easier to rip through, as opposed to harder, more baguette-​like rolls from other banh mi joints. The chicken was more cured as opposed to freshly cooked, and well sauced. The vegetables were just pickled enough without being too salty.
Want to try a fresh banh mi? Hit up the stand at SunSeng!

They need to work on their clean-​up maintenance in the meat and fish departments. The place literally smelled like a sewer when I shopped there a couple of days ago.

Drove past this supermarket on our way to Philly and stopped by on the way home. Was kind of surprised to see a huge Asian market in Cherry Hill, NJ. I guess there’s a large Asian/​Viet community in that area.
Sunseng was a good size and had good selection from fresh meats to canned goods. We were able to pick up all our Asian staples. Would definitely recommend if you live in the area.

This started out 4-​star, now bout 3.2 star. first opened, the seafood was fresh, my parents & I, bought tons fresh fish, but once open for little longer, as you rolled in there, it did smell like rotting fish. Not a good thing, when you have meat & seafood. So they have stopped buying from them-​seafood that is. The meat area, still not bad, for being in Pennsauken/​Camden area. Some of veggie can buy, some can’t. There is nt anyone checking if they are rotting, getting rid of the overripe, or bad items, so its going to big mess. The aisles, can find alot same items, without crossing the bridge, but hit or miss. They need to keep up with maintenance, getting filthy.Ughhh.

Great shopping place for Asian. I can find many interesting snacks or stuff Imported from Asia. It is amazing. I saw alot of different brands from Asia countries since I always travel. One additional good point is the price is really cheap!

Large Asian market with a diverse selection of items.
The Korean Bul go gi meat I got was high quality for a pretty cheap price.
However, the best item was the roasted piglet they had for sale on Sunday morning. Super crispy, crunch skin, with succulent melt in your mouth morsels of deliciousness.
Upon eating the pork the only thing that came to mind is the scene from the Istanbul episode of «No Reservations» when the hostess asks Anthony Bourdain whether he has tried anything like what they were eating. After a second’s pause, A. B responds — «Yes — crack!».

First off, I am a US born, Chinese-​American and used to cook Chinese at home a lot until my daughter became a toddler and kept asking for chicken nuggets. Today was my first trip today with specific ingredients on my list. The veggie/​produce selection is good and reasonably priced for NJ. Just bought some pretty fresh looking napa for $ 0.59/lb vs $ 3.99/lb at Wegmans. Also got some gai lan (chinese broccoli) for $ 1.29/lb. Everything was clearly labeled. I just moved from SoCal where 99 Ranch stores dominate and everything in the Asian markets here in South Jersey cost more than in Cali –probably due to a much smaller Asian population and less competition, lower turnover of products/​sales volume.
I didn’t buy any meat or fish today but nothing looked outlandishly pricey or lacking in freshness for an Asian market. It was very clear walking in that it’s more a Vietnamese market than a Chinese market but I was able to find most things I needed for my Chinese dishes with the exception of non-​expired pickled mustard greens for my noodle dish! I was a bit appalled by the dates on the packages I found (package dates from 2007!). Most pickled items stamp the pack date on the seam and then have about a 12 month shelf life so those packages I was picking through were all expired by a year! Some simply stamp an expiration date and I found many for 6 months earlier this year. So sad! So no pickled food purchases for me today.
I have only checked out one other Asian grocery store in the Cherry Hill/​South Jersey area (Asian Food Markets in Barclay Farm Shopping Center) and found their prices to be a bit higher. But I will have to return there to look for the pickled mustard greens (zha cha). I was hoping this store would have everything I needed so I wouldn’t have to make another trip out tomorrow with two kiddos in tow.
The hot foods section looked a bit bare but the ducks and the roasted pork looked worth trying. I would definitely try the Phở 38 in the same plaza (Saigon Plaza on Route 38) since the plaza seems to be a Vietnamese enclave.

When Sunseng first opened, they were the only place short of the aquarium that I saw fresh, live shrimp swimming around. I could kick myself for not trying them, as they have yet to get them back, but things started off great!
Yes, all vegetables in the grocery section were labeled simply ‘vegetable’, but that is the kind of challenge we like as foodies, right? It’s green, it should basically taste like (spinach, green beans, leprechaun poo) so what the heck, let’s try it. Heck they have Durian! This place is like a treasure hunt!
I agree with David that the fish is hit or miss. A few months ago the fish department smelled more like the dumpster out back than a fresh fish area, but I can happily say that since then, it has been well cleaned up and everything looked nice on my last visit. The clincher for me is when I ask them if the fish is sushi grade. If they say no, that means there’s something in/​about it that needs to be cooked, probably cooked quite a bit, and I’ll pass on that.
I have yet to buy meat from them, as I have concerns similar to that with the fish, but the variety is simply astounding. There is nothing wasted, and I mean nothing. My son and I wandered the meat isle astounded by vac-​pacs of duck tongue, blood jelly, and black duck (with head no less!) He giggled at the various testicle and ‘pizzel’ offerings, while I scanned my mental library of recipes that I would use pig uterus with. Upping the ante a bit was the fact they had both regular and ‘premium’ uterus.
There’s also an interesting dried meat section, Balut (fertilized duck embryo) and mystery pastry section, none of which could I bring myself to try. Hey, call me a wuss, but you eat right up. I may change my mind if I see you pack a half dozen of them away.
The noodle isle is huge, with hot pots, ramen, and every conceivable noodle lining the walls in every flavor you can think of. The hot sauce isle is, as noted by David, well stocked. Various ethnic items and restaurant supplies are in the end isles, along with by the case beverages. Nothing like a 40lb back of dehydrated black mushrooms and a huge case of strawberry ramune! Just hope the two don’t mix in your car.
A fun selection of imported candies and cookies takes up another whole isle and various end caps throughout the store, providing needed bribery to children as you wander the aisles in awe of the selection.
Let me note the vegetable selection is fantastic, and I stop routinely for fresh avocados. The fact they have both the normal black avocado and its larger green skinned Florida version makes for excellent eating all year round.
Pre-​prepared foods include peking duck, as well as various roasted meats on hooks. Last visit had duck, quail, racks of ribs, and frogs all lined up basting under heat lamps. Yummy indeed! An herbal shop/​customer service counter is your final stop at the front of the store as you approach the registers. The balance of the front of the store is lined with huge 50+ pound bags of every type of rice you can imagine.
Cashiers are pleasant and efficient, prices can’t be beat. Overall, you’ll probably avoid 25% of stuff because you don’t know what to do with it, 25% because it’s scary/​off/​bad, and really enjoy the remaining 50%. Shop wisely and you will be rewarded!
Did I mention the live snapping turtles? Where’s that snapper soup recipe…
