Yi's Oriental Market

The best hidden gem in MHK. Such good variety, great prices, fresh produce, and amazing service. I've lived in LA and NYC and this store has everything I need! Our go to spot for any international goods

My daughter and I saw the reviews about this place and took a chance on visiting them. First let me say that I MISS 99 RANCH! I was so spoiled by their cleanliness, size, and variety. We drove into what looked like a corner convenience store, did not see where to actually park, and the place looked extremely sketchy.So I cannot comment on service because I did not feel safe going in.

Wonderful store, wonderful people, and a nice selection so you dont feel too overwhelmed.-I love their kimchi and only buy their kimchi! They have great prices on produce and ramen too. :) !

What a hidden gem! If you're in Manhattan, this is a must visit. You won't regret it. Best place in the area to get any items for your Asian cooking and cravings. Very fair prices, well organized, great selection of food, and extremely nice owners. What more could you ask for?

Amazing selection! Chinese, Japanese, and Korean products are a specialty. It's really surprising how much good stuff can be made to fit into such a seemingly small space. They have a great selection of rice (including GABA brown!) and hard-to-find frozen meats like black chicken and real pork belly.The owners are incredibly friendly, and always go out of their way to help. If something's not on the shelves, ask. There's probably some in the back :)It's our favorite go-to place for Asian products in the area. And they're always open -- I think there's only one day of the year when Yi's is closed.Try it; you won't be disappointed!

Yi's Oriental Market is probably the only place in Manhattan where you can find tamari soy sauce, bok choy, a couple mockmeats, and other non-mainstream Asian ingredients.This is a small store but it has some good produce (such as the aforementioned bok choy, as well as sprouts and beautiful fresh ginger) at extremely low prices. You can't beat the quality and prices here.They also carry some mockmeats in a can, like seitan, and maybe mock chicken as well.

Yi's is the smaller of the 2 Asian markets in town, but is packed with tons of items. Upon entering, there are aisles of snacks, candies, and frozen desserts. Then, a wall of drinks (tea bottles, canned sodas), and an extensive produce case. This includes napa cabbage, herbs, radish, and other veggies. There are also pickled vegetables, herbs, and seaweed in the case. Across is a case of frozen seafood. The longer aisles include an endcap with all things Japanese, including furikake and sushi ingredients. There is a frozen case along the wall with steamed buns, fish cakes, dumplings, frozen vegetables (like grated cassava/yucca), and desserts.On the aisle, there is every type of dried seaweed you can possibly imagine. There is another cold case along the back wall with different kinds of tofu, kimchi...There are aisles of canned vegetables, quail eggs, barbecued eel, shrimp paste...and then sauces galore, sesame oil, gochujang paste, soybean paste, soy sauce, ponzu, sukiyaki sauce, tempura sauce, okonomiyaki sauce, etc. There are many items to discover here and I am so glad this market is here! Credit cards require a $10 minimum.

This place has inexpensive Asian groceries and fresh produce along with a friendly staff! :)

Kind and helpful people. Clean and well stocked with all kinds of foods not usually found in bars g box stores.

Great prices. Owner is super nice, produce is always fresh. Lots of variety of food and super yummy snack.
