Khim’s Millennium Market

I was walking by & I randomly stopped in– So glad I did! Many, many sales! Organic produce that was fair/​comparable to Whole Paycheck & in Clinton Hill!
Yes, non-​sale times were high, but what I saved overall WON! 2 huge, & stuffed to the brim, heavy bags of groceries was $ 138, all organic. That’s 45 items folks!!!
Sales are rockin there right now :)

Last year I had one of their sushi platters. About teo hours later my stomach hurts really bad. Food poisoning. I called to complain and they do not speak English. Fast forward to a year. I stay far from the sushi and instead go for a custom salad.
I get a small spinach with five toppings: Beets, Hearts of Palm, Goat cheese, Chick peas and grilled chicken. Ok I walk out and start eating the salad. The Heart of Palm is sour and so is the goat cheese.
And a lot of their wrapped sandwiches are still on display from a week ago. Never never again will go back.

They occupy the space of grander than a Key Foods but not as good as a Whole Foods. It’s an odd middle ground that makes you wonder — «If they have everything, why isn’t anyone shopping here?» The answer, of course, is price.
I always feel guilty when I have lunch here because the prices are high. If they downsized the store perhaps they could not pay as high rent and pass along the savings to the customer.
I enjoy their salads (8 toppings for $ 9). It’s a pretty decent lunch option. Their sushi gets expensive. If you go beyond the standard 8 piece rolls (~$ 6.50) you start getting into the $ 10 territory.
Their packaged sandwiches come from one of those factories for «healthy,» prepared foods. You know, the hummus sandwich, or healthy bagel-​delight textured tofu sub. The 900 calorie vegan, soy dumplings packed in riboflavin. For all the talk of local, and vegan and health blah blah, no one knows where these things come from — who’s making them, what’s actually in them, etc…
I also wish more of their foods were labeled with the price. Always a guessing game.
I go here because it’s convenient, but I wouldn’t send anyone here as a first choice.

The good: It’s a supermarket and it’s open late.
The bad: The prices are outrageous.
I wish we had more options…

Pissed off because I just threw out ANOTHER moldy loaf of bread that I bought 2 days ago. I should have learned my lesson after the 3^rd one, but I fucked up and needed to make my kid’s sandwiches for school and they were open at 6am (and they are right behind my apartment). DO NOT BUY BREAD FROM THIS PLACE! IT WILL DIE IN 2 DAYS! It’s already expensive as it is!
My husband has also mentioned that items often ring up higher than labeled. Not cool. Watch the register. Can’t wait until the new Key Food opens up at the corner of Myrtle and Hall St.

So expensive. Prepare for your soul to shatter. For fresh fruit and vegetables that won’t cause tears at checkout, walk a few blocks down to Mr. Coco’s.
2 stars because they are open 24 hours. It’s only late at night that I will justify paying $ 7 for a pint of ice cream (and then regretting it).

I like coming here for berries. Right now blue berries and blackberries are on sale for 1.99. They also have a nice selection of food and beer.

A few months I ago I uploaded an image of rotting butter. I said I would never go here again, but it is attached to my college so I gave in and decided to try it again. WORST IDEA EVER.
I bought fruit. The bananas were rotting and smelled bad. They looked okay through the bag. They looked yellow however when I opened the bag it wreaked of rotting food. I also bought strawberries which looked okay. They were okay I guess but they were $ 5 for a little tiny container. I mean, maybe 15 strawberries inside. It was 1 am and I really wanted fruit (closest open market which is why I went here). So, I got home was thoroughly disappointed and headed there to return it and they said they couldn’t take it back because I didn’t have my receipt. I mentioned to the man that I didn’t have my receipt because you said you crumbled it up and threw it away while I was there and since it was fruit I said oh okay. Didn’t really care. He also claimed to not remember me… I was in there ten minutes before coming back.
Generally I don’t mind a language barrier however here it is impossible to communicate with the workers because they truly do not speak any English
The fresh food here is always terrible. Always. Do not go here.

Let’s see overpriced, crappy customer service, no selection did I mention no customer service… the people who own or run this place are socially challenged idiots who shouldn’t work with the public…

I am in this store at least 2 – 3 times a week since its across the street from my apartment. The convenience is a huge perk but it makes grocery shopping in NYC bearable, if not enjoyable. It’s never crowded so you can browse at your own pace or get in and out quick if you need to.
I never go here to stock up on basics because the prices can be a bit high but it’s perfect when you are looking to make a high quality meal with fresh/​unique ingredients or just need a few things!
Also, it’s always open!

A 24-​HOUR semi-​gourmet mid-​sized grocery store on Myrtle Ave. This is an excellent addition to the neighborhood! It would be nice if all grocery stores were open at all hours of the day. Great idea! The pricing and stock are slightly erratic, and perhaps they could carry more more in this big space, but overall great store.

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review for this hell of a grocery store yet — I’ve been coming here for years because its right by Pratt’s campus and they stock all the pretentious foods that I’ve convinced myself that I need.
Green Tea flavored seaweed snack lightly flavored with salts hand-​mined from the Himalayas? They have it. Sushi rolled by an older Japanese man who secretly hates the students who tromp in here? Check. Overpriced items of the gluten-​free and/​or vegan variety? You already know.
I love the items I can find, I hate the price, and I understand that I’m also a hypocrite. The struggle is real. You win this time, Khim’s Market.

I am a bit on a fence regarding Kim’s. On the one hand, there are a lot of things to like about it: excellent organic selection, lots of healthy choices, yummy dedicated pastry section etc. on the other hand, prices are quite high and often make Whole Foods look like a cheap option. A quick reminder: despite of all the gentrification and addition of numerous businesses on Myrtle Ave, this is still BedStuy so you should factor this in the pricing strategy.

Good variety of items, and lots of healthy options whether you’re looking for a ready-​made meal or ingredients to cook with. There’s a decent selection of beers, good produce section, chocolates galore, vitamins & supplements, cleaning supplies, pet food, along with the normal grocer fare.
Staff always seem friendly.
PRICES ARE HIGH. This place might be more expensive than Whole Foods. You’ll pay $ 1 – 2 for every item on the basics and $ 3 – 4 more for larger items. Might not sound like a lot, but it adds up to an extra $ 15 – 30 every time I shop.
Every time I check out I pretend that it’s run by the mob and they have my family held captive. That way I don’t feel so bad about paying exorbitant prices.
If you want to support an awesome local grocer (that also has high prices), check out Fresh Fanatic at Washington and Park Ave. It has baked goods that are made on site, a full butcher’s shop, and the staff are super friendly.

This market is really expensive. The staff is unhelpful. I come here on my lunch brake to pick up some of my favorites snacks.

Khim’s is I think the next best thing, as Associated closed down I’ve split my shopping among three other grocery stores but this is probably the most convenient. They seem to be stocked full of ripe produce which is great, they have a large organic section as well if that’s your thing. They also have a large selection of dairy and meat alternatives from cheeses to milk substitutes, in this regard they’re better than Associated was. They seem to be missing a few small random things that you don’t think to look for until a recipe calls for it, can corn was one of them and chipotle and taco seasoning were a couple other. Seems like pretty basic food items for a grocery to have in stock but alas no. They have a bunch of good things going for them.
Pros:
Salad bar with a great selection of toppings
Plenty of asian food items
Lots of vegetarian pre-​made foods
Wide selection prepared foods, including sushi
Sprouted plants (for your garden)
Cons:
Expensive
Items you would expect them to have they might not.

I really like this place, but the amount of security cameras is insane. Putting that aside, the staff is very friendly and their selection is great. It’s definitely a store for the privileged though, as their prices are QUITE high. A lot of the same brands can be found in other stores for less.
Major bonus points for being ²⁴⁄₇.
My favorite part of the store is the gallery of shoplifters by the door.

What else can be said that other reviewers haven’t?
Absence of value keeps the star count down. It can be pricey for basics. On the other hand, it’s totally welcoming and stocked with all sorts of conveniences and basics. Maybe there’s a learning curve to integrating Khim’s into my eating habits.
TIP: Basic basics are unavailable, like non-​organic milk.
BONUS: Amazing selection of Asian items, including convenience foods.
BONUS: Excellent prepared foods selection.
TIP: $ 5 minimum for credit cards

Ok, Khim’s. You got me.
I want to not like you because of your high prices and your wall of shoplifter shame on the glass outside (for those who haven’t seen this, it’s just weird and a little over the top). This weekend, when I went to 4 grocery stores in the neighborhood searching desperately for Ancho Chile powder, and only found it at Khim’s, it made me think twice. But then you charged me $ 12 for 2 tiny bottles of it, ($ 12! and they were TINY!) and I remembered why I never shop here.

The neighborhood is changing.
Khim’s is open ²⁴⁄₇. Twenty.Four.Seven. That means if you run out of organic milk with your cereal at 2am, you know where to go.
Not as grand as Whole Foods, but can work as a filler between your runs to the organic market giant. Price wise, some are fair and some are slightly higher.
Besides the usual supermarket goods, they also have a selection of prepackaged goods such as salads, sandwiches, sushi, seaweed salad and some other asian small dishes.
Also, they have cut flowers although I consider them over priced for the quality of the stock. But hey, money isn’t a issue when you can stop here and get some flowers for your lady before heading home, all because you went out drinking with your buddies until 3:45am (AND you didn’t call her to let her know…)
