Meat Shops in Utica, NY

“My family has been shopping here religiously since my early childhood. The encased meats from their butchery operation are still the best and most authentic I’ve had outside of Poland. It’s a rare treat to go here with my mom to pick things out for family gatherings, and it always feels like we’re stepping into another world when we cross their threshold. The Pulaski Market is a staple of their community and should be protected like a national treasure.”

“I love this market! I lived on the west coast for decades and was afraid I wouldn't be able to find quality Asian food when I moved back home, but this place has been a lifesaver. They carry a lot of my vegan staples, and the owner is SO kind and accommodating-- on two occasions, some of my favorite items had disappeared, and I mentioned them to her, and the next times I visited I was delighted to see they had been restocked.

I do wish they had a bigger selection of produce, but it's a small space that is otherwise stocked to the brim with dry goods, canned goods, sauces, and snacks that I haven't been able to find anywhere else, so I really have no business complaining :)

Many thanks to the wonderful family at Nguyen Phat!”

“This is our go to business for high quality sausages and meatballs. They're primary business is food service, yet they make time to answer questions from walk-ins like me. They're always hustling to keep production at peak capacity and yet they're able to pivot to "be nice" to their retail customers. My hat's off to everyone at this business. My recommendation to folks who don't know Dino's is, make it a destination store. You'll be amazed, not with the ambiance, but with the quality and service!”
