Asian hate is not tolerated in Greenpoint. It is all the more important right now to support Asian businesses and let these retailers know how much we appreciate their services to the neighborhood. Many of these establishments are staples of our daily Greenpoint lives – that grocery store you often pick up a six-pack from, that laundromat that dry cleans like a pro, the takeout spot that teleports your taste buds straight to China.
Excellent Asian Owned Businesses To Support in Greenpoint

Kim’s shoe repair on Messerole at Manhattan Ave (next to Paloma’s?) is owned by a very nice Korean couple. My husband and I both have had repairs done there for very reasonable costs. I got a pair of LL Bean boots that had frayed stitching fixed up for $20. No more leaking and good for however many more years! Check them out!
Espresso Paloma is owned by a couple, the better half of which is Chinese :).
Ash Box! I have been going to Ash box since I first came to Brooklyn in 2007-2008. Yoko has been my go-to for incredible handmade rolls and egg salad sandwich(I kid you not…living in Europe and Singapore I would dream of it)more importantly because of the good nature group of locals who routinely come here for her food and the tranquility that comes with having incredible Japanese comfort food. People have moved to other places throughout the world and still come back to visit Yoko when in town. If there is someone to do a feature on it would be Yoko and Ash Box in this forever changing Greenpoint.
Agua de la Vida, nail salon …579 Lorimer St.
Ping, the owner of the salon, is my tenant. She runs a clean, friendly, excellent salon. Very accommodating and professional.
Really nice article about our local Asian businesses. I’ve been to 4 of those mentioned and there important to support throughout the year.
Nice people and good food at reasonable prices
Also, Wasabi at 638 Manhattan Ave, just off Nassau Avenue is a Sushi restaurant owned by Asians (Chinese). The fish is so fresh, you would think that they caught it in their backyard.
What about supporting POLISH OWNED businesses in Greenpoint? Why are you bias?
Anna,
This article was specifically about Asian businesses. And thank you Greenpointer for giving a shout out and showing community support! When helpless asian elderlies are getting punched and an entire race scapegoated for the pandemic, it’s knowing your neighbors care that means the most. By the way, also want to add that THE BEST PIEROGI in the world is at Pierozek.
