Global Food

I come here often to get the spicy seafood noodle soup from the Korean corner. It’s so fresh, full of flavor, and give me energy like no other food !!
Good for quick — non fancy — lunch stop.

Sadly one of the only options in the area for multicultural grocery shopping. The place is so messy and dirty. There’s a bad odor throughout the entire store.
The main topic of my review is the horrible horrible restrooms. Obviously I’ve never seen the men’s restroom but the women’s is consistently disgusting! I don’t understand how hard it is to ACTUALLY AIM FOR THE TOILET, AND FLUSH AFTER YOURSELF. This is not something that has bothered me just one or two times that I’ve been there. I’ve been going to global foods with my parents since I was a young girl, and it continues to be the grossest bathroom I’ve ever been in.
Selection is good, prices are decent. Like I said though, it’s one of the only options around this area for a lot of the foods they have here.
Basically I’m saying, I will continue to be a patron to global foods, but only because there isn’t really competition for them nearby.

I usually come here when I don’t feel like making the effort of driving to falls church to do my Asian food shopping. The selection here is not bad, although they don’t have already cooked food (duck, roasted pork) but the food here is pretty cheap and they have the noodles me and my family likes. They have boba here so that’s an added bonus! The grocery store itself is a bit dirty but if you don’t mind that I would give this place a try.

The Beef Bulgogi & Beef Rib Galbi bbq at the Carryout Cuisine located inside the market was DELICIOUS! The kimchi was also very good and not too salty. Absolutely Authentic and our food came out fresh, piping hot, and the service was very friendly. I will definitely Be coming back!

A variety of Fruits and vegetables is what you will find at Global food. This is why I go. It’s not the best selection that I have seen, but they do pretty good. I also can find a great selection of curry and other international foods that I like to prepare. Prices are decent, what’s not to like.
4 Stars!

I get a lot of my shopping for groceries here. It’s good.
Why the four stars? Well that’s easy.
It has what I need, there are some oddly placed food shacks conveniently to the side of the produce sections just in case I need a snack, they have a big fish tank that’s good for kids to play with, along with the big container of live crabs as well.
Then when you check out there is also a jewelry, store which does in fact sell jewelry and offers repair, so maybe you go in and but groceries, maybe you get you’re watched fixed, it’s all here at Global Food Market.

I ordered the beef bibim bap, I think it was pretty good (I lived in Korea for 3yrs and had a Korean girl friend who’s family had a Resturant) so I know the difference. That being said, I feel cheated on the meat that I got then again the meal was $ 7.63. The meat was hidden under the egg so I really couldn’t tell how much I got till I started to eat. If you want a fast and filling meal am feel like eating Korean food it’s good. The rest of the grocery had lots of stuff from the Caribbean and Asia I was looking for.

The to go place for groceries. It’s clean inside and they carry everything. Cashier lines move fast.

Amazing selection
Fun to just explore
Can be really busy
Can find good prices
Store could be cleaner
Love the fresh sushi
Plenty of parking

The place smells. When you get back by the fish, it’s worse. The floors are dirty and everytime I go there I feel like I’m going to be robbed at either knife or gun point. If it wasn’t for the great price on veggies, I would never go here.

Large selection of international foods. Have found many things here not normally found on chain grocery stores.

Rude customer service (on global garden café). One of lady could be the owner was so rude. Never come back.

Outstanding international grocery store.
Very extensive selection of items from all over the world organized by region.
The stench of fish is very strong when entering the store, but if you are familiar with this type of grocery store, you were probably expecting that.
I didn’t get a chance to visit the eateries located in the market, but the all looked very good, and I am looking forward to trying them on my next visit.
I came into GF with a very specific grocery list, and GF had every one of them:
1. Chocolate Mochi ice cream? check.
2. Korean seasoned anchovies? check.
3. Thai iced tea? check.
4. Pocari Sweat sports drink? check.
5. Ingredients for homemade Miso soup? check.
6. A zillion different kinds of ramen? check.
Whatever weird item you are looking for, (especially if it is Asian) Global Food will have it.

If you’re in the Woodbridge area, check out Global Foods’ eateries. I like getting their jajangmyun, their nengmyun, as well as their galbi platter. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, they may have wang mandoos, the big dumplings, filled with pork, noodles, and vegetables. The jajangmyun is pretty good with the good amount of beef bits throughout and the sauce is pretty nice and thick with well-​cooked noodles. The galbi is also okay, a little fatty, but well-​marinated. The nengmyun is good, too, and I’m surprised that it comes with a piece of galbi, too. Service is great and friendly, and the prices are comparable to other Korean eateries.

As with most Asian /​Latin grocery stores, Global Food is busy on weekends! If you’re in a rush use a hand carrying basket and not a grocery cart. With my 4.4 second 40 yard dash speed, I was able to grab all of my Thai food ingredients and check out in 5 minutes! But use caution when selecting your check out lane as some cashiers only accept cash. Overall Global food provides an ample variety of groceries for everyone!

The infamous hub of desi aunties and people from all ethnicities. Global is sectioned into products from different countries/​regions but mostly from Asia. Its the best of all worlds. I avoid it unless I need something specific which I know would not be found in Shoppers or Safeway (mostly continental recipe related).

I shop here when I am sick and when I have a bad cold. That way I do not run out of the store shrieking and retching at some of grisly sights I am not used to seeing. (I am so boringly white-​bread). When I have a cold, the stench does not bother me at all!
Not withstanding, this is a «must-​do» to bring bored children or house-​guests. They will be wowed and entertained at the variety of items available.
The prices are fair and the employees hardworking. Do not be offended if you are given a blank stare when asking for assistance. Their English is not that great. But in all fairness I must say their English far surpasses my Korean.(which is nil) .
Venture out of the comfort zone and be prepared to be amazed at the products, produce, and life experiences this store has to offer.

This is a very well-​stocked Korean store for the area. It has a good made-​to-​order food section in the front, as well as a small bakery counter.
I keep thinking it must be hard for non-​Asian people though, who don’t really know the Asian names or English translations for things. Some things don’t even have English writing on them, you just need to recognize what they are (dumplings, wheat vs. rice noodles, etc.). Unlike other reviewers, I’ve never had a problem with the checkout staff.

My kids and I were in the mood for an array of different Asian foods. The oldest wanted sushi, the youngest wanted dumplings, and I just wanted a different variety than what one sushi or Japanese resturant can offer me. However, upon looking at what could possibly be the cheapest option (these restaurants can run me about $ 40 including tip!) So we decided to try the little stands in Global Foods. My six year old was skeptic about going there and claiming that «It stinks in there, I can’t eat there!» I figured now is the time to break her in to the true Asian authentic markets.
We ordered Tuna/​Salmon Rolls, fried dumplings, Romein noodles, and Halo-​Halo.
Let me tell you it was all for under $ 25 and we were stuffed! The fried dumplings were huge and not typical! The Romein noodles was supposed to be for me only, but I had to share it with my kids because the portion was big! My daughter said that the sushi was good, not great. She would order something else next time. The Halo-​Halo was okay enough to reminisce on my childhood, but I think condensed milk would give it more sweetness. However, I always go there for a good Green Tea Bubble Tea.
Don’t expect great friendly conversations. These men and women are here to make money so keep the conversations short and keep it moving.

One of the best global import supermarkets in Northern Virginia. I take Global over H-​Mart and Great Wall any day of the week. They have every import product from just about every country (especially asia) possible. Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Filipino — Global’s got it (They also stock latino products).
In addition to the great selection of foreign grocery products, they also have a food court with four different offerings: Tea/​Coffee House, Korean Food, Japanese Food and Hispanic Food. I’ve orderd from the Korean kiosk and they serve a pretty decent bibimbap. Everytime I go there I always see some elderly asian couples eating a bowl full of something!
They also have cash-​checking and Western Union, a jewely store, a variety store, kitchen and housewares and even a Korean video rental store. Not bad for Woodbridge.
