Best asian grocery store in Stony Brook, New York (NY) 2024

If you're Stony Brook student, there are 3 Asian grocery stores near you. Two of them are located just across the train station (Route 25A) and they are close to each other. This one is better located while the other one is a little bit hidden. The third one is much bigger, located at Stony Brook Rd/Smithtown Bypass (Route 347). Of these three, Stony Asian Mart is definitely my least favorite one. Their price is generally a bit higher than the other Asian grocery nearby. On top of that, they also charge 8.625% sales tax even for food items, which no other grocery store does. I only shop here whenever I find the other grocery store nearby has no stock for the item I want while being too lazy to go to the bigger one. ~Ahmad
