Description

The New Central Market is a diverse Asian grocery store and specialty market in Anchorage, known locally as one of the city’s go-to independent markets for authentic Asian ingredients and hard-to-find products. The location brings together a range of items from Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Indian, and Thai cuisines, making it a staple for cooks seeking ingredients that bigger supermarkets often don’t stock.

Shoppers appreciate the market’s intimate, densely packed aisles, where shelves are loaded with imported sauces, rice, noodles, spices, and condiments, alongside specialty goods such as bulk spices, seeds, and unique snack items. Visitors frequently mention the store’s selection of kimbap and fresh items alongside staple Asian groceries, reflecting a blend of prepared foods and pantry needs.

Although Anchorage lacks the large Korean supermarkets found in bigger metro areas, The New Central Market fills that niche locally with a meaningful selection of Korean products, including kimchi, ingredients for Korean cooking, and other chilled and frozen items among its broader Asian inventory.

The market’s friendly service and knowledgeable staff are frequently noted in reviews, helping customers locate authentic ethnic ingredients and navigate the store’s varied offerings. Its location in a mixed shopping strip with ample parking makes it accessible for both regular grocery runs and specialty shopping.
