The taro was good for a sweet option that was a bit earthy. I think the egg tart and Pork Sung were a bit out of my comfort zone, but we were glad to have explored new options just the same. The almond cookie was a bit like biscotti in texture and paired nicely with some hot tea. Super G Mart is the largest international supermarket in North Carolina with spices, produce, grocery, and household items popular from all around the world. We offer a global experience as our customers travel across aisles and aisles of international groceries and household items. I caught up with a friend and recharged myself with the above lunch after a solid hour of serious shopping.
Super G Mart Charlotte
Surely, it’s important to do some research before I check out the new food court, right? So happy they opened up another one and really wish they would open one in Columbia, SC. They opened early and not everything is completely set up yet, but they still had quite the variety.
Super G Mart expansion will feature international food hall and cultural hub
I am too familiar with the udon (12.99) and bibimbap (13.99) and other generally excellent offerings at Korean Restaurant and I would recommend checking them out. On this visit, however, I focused on Honey Buns and Hong Kong Bakery to get some dishes and baked goods I wasn’t as familiar with - though I am always craving sticky rice in lotus leaves. Hopefully, you are convinced to visit this huge international market in North Carolina. If you have been to Super G Mart, please tell us about a purchase in the comments below.
Honey Buns, Hong Kong Bakery, and Korean Restaurant
Good location and great selection of foods from all over the globe. I also like the little restaurants in the store too. Awesome place for all of your international food needs... Asian, Latin, Caribbean, middle eastern! The fruit, vegetables and meat selection are amazing! Fresh vegetables, korean appliances, a small food court area, free food samples cooked.

I came across a few items that were expired, so double check the dates. Finding go-to Asian supermarkets made me begin to feel at home in Charlotte, and Super G Mart is a top-tier choice. With the opening of a new location in Pineville, I decided to visit.
We enjoyed the bouncy, fluffy dough of the bun. Such a good grocery store. You can come here just for the food.
Super G Mart International Food
The Korean-owned Super G Mart on Independence Boulevard has already seen its customer base increase, and the owners believe now is the time to go big. I’m excited to check out the new cafeteria at the Pineville location when it opens in spring 2023 and I’ll be ready to share more insight when I do. The influence on my cooking style can’t be overstated. It’s a love that’s only gotten stronger with time. Meeting someone who loves and appreciates the spice/fish sauce/Fabulouso scented destination is an exciting indicator of a potential kindred spirit. It’s one of my favorite day-off adventures.

"I think right now is a good time for people who are interested in stepping outside of their comfort zone a little bit, and trying some other flavors," Han said.
Still, They are comparable to smaller Asian markets. The 108,000 square foot space will also allow for a roomier layout with wider aisles. Han said, "We're an international grocery store, so we want customers to feel like they're traveling through different regions at every aisle that they go to." I got to try a wide variety of treats for a great price. Here are my recommendations if you want to do the same. The buns with garlic and hot dog were the winners here and were enjoyed with breakfast and earned me some nice relationship brownie points.
For the last few weeks, I’ve also been trying to create the flavors and dishes I crave by making things like cold soba noodles, seaweed salad, and miso soup at home. Plus, I’ve had plenty of great ramen and dumplings ready to go for days I don’t feel like cooking. Im so happy I finally drove to this international market. They had a lot of items to choose from. I was happy to find various fresh herbs, meats, vegetables, beverages, and baked goods that are unavailable in my area.
Compared to the Independence Blvd location it is much nicer, newer, cleaner, and more spacious. There is a food court being built that is not quite ready yet but should have awesome food. They carry many hard to find items as well as some regular grocery store items but you'll be paying more for the convenience. Overall a great store that I look forward to visiting more often. The unexpected side effect of this whole trip was that I left inspired to use grocery halls to their full potential.
And while you’re in Greensboro, visit the Greensboro Science Center in North Carolina. Slurping the chewy rice noodles, I knew I had made a great choice. Most of Charlotte’s in-the-know foodies know the culinary treasure that is Super G Mart, on Independence Blvd, and could write a love letter to its seemingly endless aisles of treasures.
At Super G Mart, we strive to bring you the convenience of your international grocery needs all in an afternoon trip to one of our three locations in the Carolinas. The "G" stands for global, so Super G Mart will carry Caribbean and Latin foods, in addition to plenty of hard-to-find Asian ingredients. Fish will be sourced locally, as well as flown in. There will also be a 16-foot double-decker live fish tank.
"We're trying to create a cultural hub," Han said. "There's going to be language classes, cooking classes for customers that might not be familiar with some of our ingredients."

The shrimp scallop dumplings offered up more textures to get hooked on with a chewy rice paper-style wrapping.
Each aisle is notated by country and if you want the best selection of fruits and vegetables, this is your place. They had items I'd never seen before. Purchased the kimchi that was made in the back and really loved it. Can't wait to go back when they are fully stocked. They do have a rewards program like many groceries stores do, And you may need it because the only downside is the shelf products are not quite affordable. Especially the snack aisle.
Once things are up and running, Han said another goal is to partner with local organizations to host international events and festivals in their parking lot. A 25,000 square foot food hall will serve authentic Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, Indian and Japanese cuisines, to name a few. Peter Han, one of the owners of Super G Mart, said many customers drive by their soon-to-be third location in Pineville.
