FOOD BAZAAR

I bought a bucket of the crispy fried chicken. It was horrible because they reused fish oil to cook the chicken. I am allergic to fish. I damn near had to go the the hospital. I am never going back to this location.

Food Bazaar is Always a wonderful experience. The Staff is Friendly, Helpful and Professional. I like the Wide Variety of foods you find there. I think they have the Freshest in the Neighborhood.

In my experience, I felt like the two cashiers, who I’m assuming are Bengali with the hijab, do not greet, don’t tell the prices, and expects you to read the screen to find out what customers are paying. It feels like the self pay are more humane than them. I paid 5.29 for a bread which was 3.99 under manager special. Had she communicated, I would have found out, but no! For future customers, just go to self checkout

I go here all the time when I visit from out of town. Well stocked, clean and friendly staff. Great neighborhood store.

The prices here are great. They have fantastic sale prices on vegan food and produce. They had many cashiers available to help speed the line along. The selection on vegan food here is amazing. The produce is certainly very fresh. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

They reserve their "eggs" for businesses! I just called because Instacart showed me that they HAVE eggs and when I called them, the Dairy Dept person asked if I was a customer or business. When I said "I'm a customer," he said that the eggs are reserved for "private businesses"... like... WTH!!!!!!

Food Bazaar Supermarkets wasn't our priority to do groceries shopping before COVID-19 but we visited a couple of times recently since their price has been stable and the supply was enough. One of the best things was there’s no line to enter from our experience. The safety procedure of sanitizing and social distancing especially during checking out was great, so we shopped without any concern. The staff was friendly and willing to help. The product lineup was well organized and clean. There was no empty shelf and we could find the majority of items on our list. The meat and seafood looked fresh and in good quality, but we didn’t have a chance to try them yet.

Great products and great prices one of the best priced supermarket chains location not the biggest but definitely great shopping

First I have to say that the workers and security personnel are awesome. The food is fresh and I love the cake selection. The meat is good and sales on food in each ale is fantastic.

The meats are limited. The fish market area is limited. Very narrow aisles. However, I always fins everything I need. It's just not the cleanest and most organized supermarket in the area. The biggest problem I have is in the area where they have the hot buffet. The food is decent and inexpensive. But the Dominican lady who runs it consustently has a bad attitude and comes off rude every single time I go there. That's not how you treat customers that are buying your mediocre $2 empanadas. She needs an attitude check.

Service was good I went there to buy couple of things but my fine die and my Apple Pay stop working I had to stand there and reset everything and they lend me a charge to use I stand there for a good 1or 2 hours no one says anything rude or mean to me they leave me so I could do whatever I was doing I did everything and leave

There are several Food Bazaar Supermarkets in the (Elmhurst, Corona, Lefrak) area, two within (about) four minutes walking distance of each other. Business must be great! All carry the same foods and seasonal items. The produce section has many Caribbean/Hispanic foods along with many other "exotic" provision. If you're familiar with Associates Supermarket, something tells me you'd like here. Was it just a name change? I can't remember. There's a deli with delicious ready made meals daily and coffee, can't forget the 99¢ coffee! Butcher/fish and bakery sections. All neat and clean. Staff is pleasant. Get their phone app and gain points when you shop. They are my go to supermarket when I'm in the area. I love Aldi and I heart FBS too. Thanks man! The End.

This business is listed under UBER EATS Groceries Service. I placed an order, and NOT my first order either, the Uber Eats delivery person collected all of my items and went ahead to check out. Every time a food item is marked as found or unavailable I receive a notification. Updates are given their entire time during the shopping service. So finally upon checkout I am observing the checkout process on the APP and after 30mins or so it gets canceled by the merchant. I waited 4 hours to finally not receive my groceries. Not one phone call apology or explanation. I call the following day and the woman whom answered the phone denies all affiliation with UBER EATS APP. I say to her, that is untrue as I placed orders here before and you canceled on me after the fact with no understanding as to why. She was pretending that wasn't her business and that entire ordeal has nothing to do with their end. She blamed UBEREATS when I can see on the APP it said "merchant canceled." I also made sure to get in touch with Uber first before and they confirmed what I already clearly read. This lady was RUDE RUDE RUDE, gaslight the whole situation, didn't treat me with any respect on phone. Pretending she had zero clue what I was talking about and denied that they even work with Uber Eats as a service. In the end she barked a few words before hanging up the phone on me. I guess that is how you treat customers who spend hundreds of dollars a month at your business. Bravo! You lost a great customer.

Don't use their deli department. I bought bad meat from their deli with dark spots and a bright pink hue on half the sliced meat, and when I mention it for a refund was treated like a liar. The manager chose to lose a 15 year customer over some disrespect and a request for a $3 credit off the current groceries being purchased. They pre-cut frequent ordered items and leave them out in open fridges for a quick grab item but they're cutting too much. And the deli workers should reject bad inventory to be sent back to vendors like Dietz and Watson/Boars Head or whoever they use. If you also get rotten deli items from them report them to the department of health. I definitely will. Been a customer at this supermarket for around 15 years and watched as their entire management and cashier team has changed over many times. I've had problems in the past with products of course since I been a long time customer, but never ask for refunds even on times I clearly should have. Their prices keep rising fast, their deli department keeps dropping in quality, as well as their new managements customer service skills.

This for me has been the best food bazaar as far as prices.. I live in forest hills so I experience everything prices 2-3 collars more. So I drive here always.. place is always clean. Produce displayed nicely and always seem fresh! They don't have much of a selection of meats here. Overall a good supermarket

This is one of the WORST Food Bazaar's I have ever been too. I used to think it was a decent chain until we moved close to this one. The is one about 2 blocks away this is FINE. But this one is completely awful. The cashiers are just so exceptionally rude no matter if you tip them or what you say to them. Now that there is a self check line, a lot of those women are helpful, but I've been going here for almost a year and was just told today how to get the in-store discounts finally. It's so fucked up that not a single person ever tried to help me in the past. I kept putting in my phone number on the key pad thinking that was doing something and then finally had a woman tell me to scan the QR code today. FINALLY. I asked her a couple of questions. She was so rude and pushing me out and didn't let me finish scanning it AFTER I had tipped her. BTW guys tipping IS NOT A U.S. THING. So if someone tips you, they are being kind. A woman behind me was pushing me forward when my card scan didn't work, the cashier didn't help or ask the woman to step back. RUDE RUDE RUDE. AND- I hadn't bothered to write it up in the past, but their produce is always HORRIBLE. I get things that are wrapped so the mold is hidden until I get home and unwrap it. The workers are totally clueless about what is in their store- I've had a woman who didn't know what horseradish was- to a man working in the meat department who couldn't tell me or be bothered to ask a co-worker why they discontinued a certain hot dog. This is a terrible place to buy groceries. I sometimes use the guys on the corner to pick up produce just to avoid this horror show. At least there I can forgive the over-ripe produce and probably get a discount.

This place is great! They have everything!!! E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!!! The produce section is huge, the bakery is great and they have aisles dedicated to different cuisines: Ecuadorian, Argentinian, Korean, Indian, Thai, Dominican, etc. I'll say it again, Everything. I don't usually visit the butcher/poultry section but the two times I have bought steaks and chicken from there they were just fine and they have so many different options. My favorite buy is the Mango Nectar juice. They keep moving it around the store making it harder and harder to find. Free parking too!

It hurts my soul that this supermarket chain is my neighborhood grocery store. Everytime I try and give them a chance, they fail me. I purchased two avocados I couldn't eat and a loaf of bread that was hard and dry. The expiration date on the bread was 9/29/18. Unfortunately, I will be forced to online grocery shop. The only thing I will buy from here is water...

This place is horrible. During this whole pandemic of the Coronavirus and people are desperate to get groceries they have a paper on the store that said 8:30 last week. This week they changed it to 8pm. I went to the grocery today at 7pm with about 5 people lined up ahead of us and the little Chinese manager came and locked the door didn't tell us anything and then through the window told us it's closed. How the hell is it closed at 7pm when the paper says 8pm and you have the audacity the close the door without telling everyone waiting outside in the cold. The only good thing is one of the big security with dreads is very nice. That's all. Terrible people.

They have containers of fat that you can pick at, free! This is such a demure little market in such an unappreciated part of Queens, so easy to overlook. Surrounded by numerous apartment complexes over 16 stories high, spanning over 6 apartments wide (Lefrak City), that which is a good thing. You see, a diverse community demands a diverse supermarket. And, this place delivers! Their produce section is diverse and stocked; the same goes for their meat section. I come here for a rare cut of meat. Others have harked on about rude cashiers. I'll say this, in my numerous visits lately; I've been treated fine. No compliments but, no complaints either. (maybe they have an asian fetish?)

This is now a Food Bazaar. It's really your run of the mill large, reasonably clean supermarket. But they upgraded the deli!!! The heros are delicious [unexpectedly so] So for 5.99 you get your big sammich and a can of soda. I recommend the reuben hero sans mustard [replace with russian dressing and you've got a winner]

I don't really care about the cashier, but the store is so big and clean. I'm an Asian but I could say this store is much cleaner than regular Asian supermarket! Their food and hispanic chips and beverages are great and inexpensive!

Most of the store is a jumbled mess with a crazy layout but their sandwiches and deli are amazing. And everything is so cheap. $5.50 for a sandwich on a roll or bagel. And they don't skimp on meat! Prepared fruit salads are also fresh, cheap and plentiful.

Terrible produce. Do not EVER buy fruits or vegetables at this place. No matter if you pick from the front or back of the pile, they all go bad in a matter of days if not hours.

Convenient location (across the street from apartment) Downside: charging more than the usual Lots of choices Upgraded deli like someone else said Good Mexican food options

This is a supermarket that makes you feel at home , the workers are very nice as well as friendly there is no doubt their is really good costumer service. Anyting you need help with and what you will find. There is a large organic section and the variety is not that bad, they always have fresh fish meat and vegetables, prices are low and they have a lot of good sales, deli sandwiches and salads are amazing!! Definitely recommend this supermarket

Cheap groceries, low grade meat, and just about low grade everything else. What I do like about Food Bazaar, they sell containers of ginger hard candy that's made in Taiwan. It's surprisingly good and of course cheap! It's the only thing I come here for. In terms of cheap groceries, I'd still prefer Western Beef. They have a better selection of quality meats and just a better butcher shop in general.

It's a grocery store. It's near my apt. The cashiers ring me up and then I leave. *shrug*

I think this is one of the worst supermarket on the planet it's poorly manage and now I see why it's always changing it's name daily. If you want spoiled fruits and veggies this is your place. The cashiers are rude they never say thank you or look you in your face they simply act like they are doing you a favor. A recent incident has me boycotting this store I went to a cashier (Hispanic) and she promptly told me she was closed so i made no big deal out of it and like 5 seconds later another customer walk over to her and he was also Hispanic she was open for him. Is my time not worth as much as his? I think this all has to deal with this so called "mi gente" thing that Hispanic people live by. Well i promptly called the manager and told her what transpired and that I would boycott her store so she apologize but that's not enough to get me back there. If they were giving food away for free it's OK to be rude to me. Food Bazaar you are lucky YELP force me to give you at least one star or else you would get nothing.

The cashiers are horrible and rude. Also, most of them can't understand English. If you could go down few blocks, you can find Chinese Supermarket and they have better price. Their deli salad got few of my coworkers sick.

I always buy my groceries from here and today was doing the same. I saw a guy cleaning and there were lettuce all over the floor and the cleaning guy picked the lettuce and just put it back. I thought he would throw it. I was so upset and disgusted.

This is my favorite supermarket. It's not the cleanest, but for food "from your country," it is the best. I think the cashiers are very friendly, but maybe if you speak Spanish. They are shy because they don't speak English. We went at 2 am once and the cashier told us she works until 6 am, goes home to prepare breakfast for her family, brings her children to school, and then sleeps until it is time to pick them up. Hard working people. Don't criticize them for not speaking English.

Been coming here for awhile I guess I have been fortunate to be getting great cashier, because last night I went there and my total was $4.17 but I only had $4.10. She refused to give me bcuz I was short 7cents

I work in the city office's right next door, so I stop in here for lunch more often than not. The deli is great, hot and cold sandwichs on a roll ($4.50) or hero ($6 w/ can of soda. Quality cold cuts. The soups are pretty solid. The half rotisserie chicken (with or without rice) is very good. They have a bunch of different pasta / chicken / tuna salads at the deli in indvidual serving sized containers. It's clean and very spacious. I wish there was a place like this by my apartment - all my grocery stores are very cramped.

So, I owe a serious update to this. I always avoid this place because of their poor quality of food. (After I stocked up on Spam, canned anchovies, and Ovaltine, I haven't really had a need to come back.) However, last night I was out of some other essentials so I stopped here. I was so pleasantly surprised at how much they've upped their game! There was a ton of organic/health food now: containers of mache (I haven't seen that since France), freshly-squeezed juice sitting on ice (beet and carrot and ginger, oh my!), scores of healthy nuts and seeds, and a great selection of organic milk, eggs, and yogurt. It still needs some improvement -- but it is slowly getting up to par with what a good grocery store should have. I'm not going to avoid it any longer! I bought a ton of stuff for forty bucks. Win.

Nice and small supermarket and they had a really good costumer service, cashiers are nice and friendly. Deli sandwiches are really amazing!! And I had good sales in my groceries so I'm happy shopping here.

I am a customer from the food bazaar in Jersey City NJ and I have found that I live 5 minutes away from one in West New York, since I recently went to give it a try. I go in at 10:15 PM on Thursday of July 18th and i go for 5 minutes. I check for a snack or something to drink (kombucha) and I then hear the store is closed. In Spanish for which I speak. I then go to the register and I ask the cashier for kombucha and they say it's in the back. I then go to see it and a Korean man tells me it's back. I check the price and it's 3.99 and I thought it was quite expensive so I go to exit. They ask me if I found it I say no because it's very expensive I can get 2 for 5 at ShopRite. The security guard then asks me to check my bag for which I comply. I then tell him. I'm a customer at the Jersey City store and they never checked my bags.I never took my book bag off my back not did I go into it!! I said I'm offended and asked for the supervisors number. He says I'm offended that your offended. You didn't buy anything so I have every right to check your bag by law. It was only 10:22 PM when they told me the "story" that the store was closed!! I believe it was racial profiling. That if I spoke Spanish from the beginning or was a different race it wouldn't have ever happened. I corporate owes me an apology as Google reviews are longstanding. Don't go here if you aren't light skinned, aren't happy with the overpriced goods or don't speak Spanish. I thought living 5 minutes away I had found a gold mine but all I found were non chalant cashiers and also a rude and insinuating security guard while there are 2 cameras at the back of each end .

This is for the Food Bazaar in Lefrak on 57th Avenue: The deli staff refuses to serve Americans who speak English. They actually stall their work and start blabbering in Spanish until they hope you go away. They have refused to serve my wife several times, as . well as mouthed off to her - presumably because she orders enough food for a week for our family to eat 3 meals a day, and not just $1 worth of turkey, and they resent anyone who might have more education and a better life than them. And they let you know it, too. After several incidents, I went to the manager myself and asked why he felt it was ok that his workers can refuse to serve Americans. He said he would have a talk with them about it. But, considering that the manager himself lacks any English skill, I can see he probably allows his store to be operated this way. The inmates run the asylum here, and not very well. The Food Bazaar on Junction Blvd is not staffed by racist illegals, and sells food that actually keeps for more than a day after purchase.

I wish they would carry a variety of bread amongst many other things. But it's alright.

I like this Food Bazaar. The prices are right. It's never too crowded. The lines aren't too long. The cashier's - even though I usually go to the same girl - are nice enough. And it's a big plus that it is close to my apartment.

The 'Italian Hero' sandwich is delicious. They keep to the tradition of Italian American hero sandwiches using a variety of quality cold cuts, cheeses, bread, and vegetables. What makes this hero different from the rest is the pickled jalapeño peppers. "This ingredient adds a semi sour kick to it with a bite!" I found a hidden food treasure in an unlikely place. $6.99 gets you this hero with a bottle of water inclusive.

$5 hero sandwiches however you like it....love it. Work right over here so it's super convenient and much better tasting than subway!
