Oh man! We were in JC with a car last weekend, could have checked it out but instead went to Super HMart. Had heard 99 Ranch was going to open in Hackensack, hadn’t heard about JC.
We just tried Food Bazaar out in Queens for the first time, and it looks like they have a few branches in North Jersey (Fairview, West New York, and Union City). Has anyone been? We were pretty impressed with the cleanliness (definitely better than the 99 Ranch in JC) and the broad range of products (apparently the founder is originally from Korea but then lived in Argentina). The parking lot was also significantly less chaotic than that of any HMart we’ve been to. The one thing that bummed us out was the weak selection of smaller bags of Korean/Japanese rice; we’re not buyers of 20 lb bags. http://www.myfoodbazaar.com/
