The store stinks thus I am reluctant to buy anything from them except live crabs. I fear that all the meat is bad as it stinks so badly.

Since moving down to Alexandria/Hybla Valley area, I used to still drive up to HMart in Landmark to get basic Asian staples. Hallelujah that I found this place up the road… away from traffic… to get basic stuff. Mostly catered to Latin offerings, there is a solid aisle of Asian stuff so I can still make my Sunday comfort food without sacrificing a hour+ sitting in a car. Business transactions at register are just that… in and out. Not trying to have a conversation, just want to get my stuff and leave… so don’t really need to interact a lot. Count me a regular.

I really enjoy shopping at this grocery store. The store primarily caters to the Latin community. However, it does stock several Asian products, which I cannot find anywhere else within a 5 mile radius of my home. The store has American, African, and Middle Eastern groceries as well. As far as I am concerned, it has the freshest fruits and vegetables that I have found anywhere in the Mount Vernon and Engelside communities. When the store has sales, you can find some excellent bargains. That’s when I buy in bulk. The meat, poultry, and seafood sections are excellent. You can find some really good deals here. Overall, I’m giving this store 4 stars. I will return again.

Clean ethnic store. Has good selection of fruits and veggies not found at the national chains. Live crabs in the back and gigantic tilapia that probably weights ten pounds and larger than my arm. Haven’t seen such a wide selection of fish in the area. Hispanic and asian products. Looks like some african and middle east too.

This store is okay. It serves its purpose. I went to this store on a Sunday and it was not crowded at all. The aisles are wide so I didn’t have to worry about someone being in my way or being in someone’s way. The produce selections here is okay. It has the basic, but not as vast as other similar grocery stores. The meat section was huge and the prices are comparable to others as well. The seafood section was not as big like Fresh World or LA Mart. I am assuming that this store mainly serves Hispanic customers so some of the Asian grocery items like egg noodle are found in the freezer instead of the refrigerator. I also noticed that they carry a better selection of Latin American grocery products as well. From this Asian’s perspective, I thought this stores has a solid selection of Asian grocery basic. I probably wouldn’t mind stopping by this place if I happen to be in the area.

Nothing outstandingly glamorous about this place but it serves its purpose well. The majority of food is hispanic orientated which would serve the local community well. There is a decent variety of asian items, not a huge variety like Great Wall, but if you want some of the basics in the local area this is good enough place to get it. I found the staff to be quite friendly, didn’t experience anything like other reviewers. On the whole the store has decent prices too. Don’t go looking here for British food, all they had was Birds Custard, Tetley Tea Bags and Salad Cream.

To date, I’ve found the cheapest bananas here at $.19 a lb. unfortunately, the price fluctuates. Today, the bananas were $.59 lb which is around the same price as other grocery stores such as Giant and Safeway.

This place by far has been the only place I’ve been able to find the freshest meats in this area. I’ve tried the Safeway up the street their meat selection is absolute crap. Also Bestway’s produce is fresh and very reasonably priced. I only shop for our meat and fish products here. Now the other things like cereal and snack items I get else where because they are a little overpriced.

Jewel of a store. Wide produce section with low prices. Strawberries 0.99 Large seafood department with exotic fresh fish. Bright, colorful and clean store with focus on international foods.

I have been to this Store and the lack of customer service has nothing to do with your ethnicity. Also, they have limited Mexican products, I have yet to find a place that offers great products at a low cost in the east coast.

Attention Korean or Chinese grocery store owners! There actually are asian people living on the other side of I-95. Why the lack of the lottes and h marts and grand marts here? The bestways are horrible and only target the Latina clientele. Produce is sparse here, overpriced and almost everything is prepackaged in cellophane. Heck, it’s like a Hispanic crappy food lion. Will I ever set foot here again? No!

Alright… so I decided to stop by my local Latino supermercado for some Maggi seasoning since I can’t usually find it in American grocery stores. I decided to restock on a couple of staple items hoping that they’d be cheaper than Safeway up the street. That was sooooo not the case! Most of their items were way overpriced… except for a container of 18 eggs that were on sale for $ 1.99. Now on to the customer service: it’s friggin non-existant. The ladies at each register looked at me funny and at first I was thinking it was because I wasn’t wearing any makeup. Until the 2 bishes started talking about the American black girl in spanish. Ummm… some of us took spanish in high school. What the hell? They are soooo lucky that I had my mini-me with me or else all hell woulda broke loose! Well anyway, the old one proceeds to ring me up and damn near slams down my eggs. I stood there and opened them and checked each one(yes, I held up the damn line). NEVERAGAIN!!!
