Gong’s Market is a hidden gem tucked away in an indoor strip mall in Frazer, offering a wide selection of Asian groceries at fair prices. Customers appreciate the excellent variety of fresh produce, frozen dim sum, sauces, spices, and other treats, making it a convenient spot for authentic Asian ingredients. The store is known for its friendly and helpful owners, providing good service, especially for those who buy in bulk. Compared to larger chains like HMart, Gong’s Market offers cheaper prices for basic needs, though its product selection is more limited. However, there are some concerns about cleanliness and food safety. Notably, the roasted duck and cooked chicken sold on Sundays are made the day before in Chinatown and stored with raw meat, posing health risks. Additionally, some wrapping practices for bean sprouts and fresh noodles raise hygiene questions, as they are handled without gloves or proper handwashing, and raw meat is defrosted in the kitchen sink. The kitchen has had past health violations, resulting in temporary closures. Visitors should also be prepared for potentially long wait times at checkout, especially on late Saturday mornings and afternoons, due to limited staff. While the store offers authentic products and good prices, customers are advised to be cautious about food safety and privacy, as staff may observe and discuss personal social media activities. Overall, Gong’s Market is a reliable place for everyday Asian groceries, with a welcoming atmosphere, but with some health and service considerations.
Gong's Market had all of the ingredients I was looking for to make cold sesame noodles and more.

My favorite go-to for an Asian market outside of Philly. This gem is tucked away in an indoor strip mall in Frazer. I can always find what I need from fresh produce (great prices and quality) to frozen dim sum items, sauces/spices, and other treats.
