Hua Lian Supermarket

best experience forever

Great abundance of Products

First time stopping by here after skipping the BJs that was close by. Nice large market with a good selection of Asian grocery items. Price on vegetable, fruit and seafood was fairly priced. Picked up a couple of fresh 1.5 pound lobsters for $7.99 a pound. One thing I have to say is the water in their holding tanks didn't come across with a fishy after taste. Had no foul seafood taste. The lobster was smaller in the shell because the lobster didn't molt.

I hope this post finds you all well and healthy.nnThis place could and should be much better at interacting with the customers. The staff is extremely rude, especially the cashiers, very short-tempered and rude. The employees who stock and put up the frozen foods and fresh vegetables are rude and disrespectful, too. This location has horrible customer service, management should make changes, give employees in-service and training. The store can also use employees who are bilingual, employees who can communicate with customers that only speak English.nnThis location is not all bad. The men who work in the fresh meat, and seafood department may not all understand English, but they have patience and work with you and give you what you ask. The vegetables are very fresh, probably one of the best places to get veggies and fruits in Flushing, extremely fresh fruits and veggies.nnHowever, the price that they charge on some fruits is insane. For example, at this location, three Chinese apples in the carton $10. I saw the same Chinese apples a half hour ago for $5 at Target, one mile up the road. Some of the fruits are overpriced at this location.nnI was extremely shocked when I reached the check-out register to find out this huge supermarket market only excepts cash. They did not take debit or any other .ethid of payment, ONLY CASH, this is not acceptable.nnWhen I finished my purchase I look around at the entrance for signs that might have been posted warning potential shoppers oy cash accepted, but nothing. I watched as the gleeful-eyed customers swiftly entered through the sliding doors, clueless to the fact their plastic cards will not be able to finalize their purchases. This place gets a low-level two-stars, much-needed improvements are required at this location.nnThank younShop wise, comfortable, and smart!

Overpriced American brand items. Also, try to rush the lines that while you start to pay they let the next customer on the isle. Will always have to say something to the customer because 6 feet apart is not enforceed. Then will have to start packing my stuff in the bag and they keep moving closer. This is so annoying. They need to enforce people to wait until the first customer has left the aisle and not have to worry while am paying or packing my food if I have to get away from other people or not.
