“ You're prob not gonna like this review if you're a roundeye. New Century offers Asian products in a uniquely Asian setting. If you're looking for a Harris teeter or Publix vibe, then stick to that. And if you don't know what you're looking for or just here to browse, then keep it moving. Maybe buy it on Amazon or make an Asian friend that's either first or second generation. The parking lot is very bad. The conditions of the shopping carts are very bad. This I cannot disagree with other reviewers with. I have to dock a star for that. But for the availability of grocery items, this is my go-to. I can't think of another market where I can find a 10lb can of sliced water chestnuts or something most roundeyes don't have a clue of. I'm here 1-2 times per week. If you see me, feel free to ask me questions. Or maybe take trip to an Asian city for a bit of culture so that you can truly appreciate what this store has to offer. There's more to life... ”
“ I needed a replacement guard to watch the door, so I ordered a New Sentry. Ended up here instead. Oops. Not as fancy and new as the other Asian grocery store in this Plaza, but nevertheless a really nice place to shop if you are in the Northeast burbs of Charlotte North Carolina. I love how Charlotte has quickly developed into a multinational multi-ethnic Paradise in the wake of Atlanta and long may it continue. ”
“ It's kind of sad coming into here... especially with the other supermarket at the other end of the plaza. However. I DO like this one a lot more. It has more items, the aisles are wider so no problems with carts... ....but, it's fairly dirty and messy. It always feels as though it's about to go out of business. Which would be a shame because you can tell at one time it used to be a great part of the community. They also have ready to eat prepared foods, drinks, and baked goods. Their roasted duck and pork looks yummy! Again, back to the actual market. Walking through there feels like they stopped caring. Things are tossed all over the place, and floors look as though they haven't been cleaned in ages. Why a 4 star?? Well as I mentioned earlier, I like this place a lot. It reminded me of the Asian Markets I grew up around. They have a very good selections of items, and for good prices. Staff were really friendly as well... sucks to see them where they are now because they still have a fighting chance to be up on the chain if they wanted it. Not sure if they do though or have the energy to. ”
“ This place simultaneously makes me happy and freaks me out. It's great to be able to find tons of (mostly Asian, but also some other ethnic) food items not available at most grocers. This time, I enjoyed some new rice types (they have at least 10-20 varieties), interesting noodles (purple wheat?), Japanese rice seasoning and jamaican jerk marinade. So far all have been a hit. The freaky parts are the random fish heads floating in a bucket in the refrigerated section. And other indecipherable items. Yikes. Prepare for some strong smells and potentially scary sights. But really great prices on lots of ethnic cooking ingredients - totally worth it. ”
