Nam Dae Mun Farmers Market

The prices of items are good options and no long queue, clean environment.for fresh seafood is a great plug

Horrible Customer Service. I came in to quickly purchase a box of crab legs. I usually shop at Publix, but I decided to support my community and shop at Nam Dae Mun instead. The box of crab legs was $160, which was fine. I grabbed six of the small plastic bags that are normally provided in the seafood area so I could break the crab legs down and freeze them at home. At checkout, the cashier did not greet me or say a single word. She rang me up, removed the bags from my cart, pulled two out, and slammed the two back into the buggy without saying anything. I politely said, “Hey, I need those bags.” She walked over to the manager. The manager also did not greet me, and simply said, “You can’t have that many bags.” I explained that I had just spent $160 on seafood and needed them for storage. She handed me one bag and walked away. As a former store manager, I find this behavior unacceptable. When a customer purchases a high-ticket item, you don’t act petty over plastic bags especially without communication, courtesy, or basic customer service. This is the South, where customer service still matters. Teach your cashiers to greet customers with "Hello" . Unfortunately, this experience showed a complete lack of professionalism and respect. I won’t be returning.

A bright, clean, colorful, beautiful store. Offers an excellent WIDE selection of everything. Reasonably priced. A visit is almost an "adventure"! The workers are friendly. I especially like the MEATS poultry and WINE departments.

Great international market with great produce and items not found in American chain stores. The meat department is awesome and they will cut to order and the seafood section does the same with a huge variety of fish etc. Prices are consistently lower than Kroger etc.

Horrible customer service. I stopped here after church on way home.... B careful when paying for items. I had 3 cans each of coconut milk, cream of coco, evap milk & condensed, totalling 12cans. The cashier rang up all items scanning only 1 can. The items were of diff prices. I reviewed my receipt to see I was grossly over charged. When I took it to cxsvc it was a challenge to get my refund. I was treated as if I stole something or switched it???? In addition, I had my recycled bags and I was interrogated about them. They directed the police there to question me??? ABOUT RECYCLED WORN BAGS😡 There's a Nam Dae near my daughter's in Cobb County and I frequent there... PLEASANT, AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR HELP not HARRASSMENT.... Never again....

There are a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits which you can not find in other grocery stores

PREJUDICE! I usually love the store brand in general but this is the 1st time visiting them in months bc the last time we came, we were treated so poorly (literally were throwing our produce bc their computers messed up and they had to rescan our items). This time, we give the lady our basket and she refuses to touch it. Tells us to take it out of the basket. It was bit odd but we did it and she gets to the produce (we haven't pulled out any cards to pay yet) and she's like "is this on wic?" Very odd to assume that we were using anything when you don't know us and we haven't asked/said anything to you about it. She then was rude the entire time of ringing out our order and when I asked a question, she just pointed to the screen with an attitude while she spoke in spanish to the customer behind us, laughing. Superrrr rude. My spouse and I never disrespected her but for some reason keep being disrespected. This is more of a Hispanic farmers market but this one has only Hispanic staff and maybe the have some prejudices against people who look like me. 😒 We will never be back. That was the final straw.

Store is alright not as large as I like but I would say that the cashiers and some of the people that work there are racist. It’s one of those blink and you’d miss it kinda racism, so I got charged on my debit card a credit purchase. For those who don’t get how it’s racist, it implies the cashier thinks I can’t afford the food I was buying. So the store could still “get their money”, now if you are also like “brush it off the shoulder it’s not as racist as it could be”. Here’s what being charged as credit does when you have the money, it charges it later could be next day could be 5-10 business days. Which could be problematic and possibly put someone in overdraft, if you believe that cashiers do not have the power to change a debit as credit please look it up yourself so you can see with your own eyes they can. Overall meh, and casual racism. Only highlight is a large group of multi ethnic backgrounds but that’s most Asian food markets. I wouldn’t choose this place, only if I’m already in the area never setting my mind to go here again.

This has to be the greatest place on earth. I have never been here until recently. I remember when this location was a Publix and I could never understand why it changed. Was in the area decided to get a seeded watermelon but bought so much more. The fresh fish, all the foreign merch that's hard to find, the bakery pastries section! I love this place. So many options it's overwhelming. And they have cool items you can't get everywhere. And the prices I believe were great. My only issue is the customers/demographic/patrons. You will want to fight people in here! That's nothing against the store, but these people shopping are rude, crazy and insane. Lots of foreigners, etc. From the moment you walk in, it's like a relay mad dash to the merchandise. Literally almost got ran over twice and had to wait like I was at a red light for foot traffic to pass so I could go down an aisle! Absolute madness. I cant stand the people in there shopping and their obnoxious kids, but that in mind, mentally prepare, super cool place to grocery shop. It's out of my way, so I can't imagine when I'd be back but I highly recommend.

This store has come a long way, they have renovated since and the variety of grocery has also widened. I highly suggest checking them out for produce, they have all international produce at an amazing price point. They always have great detergent, biscuits, rice, noodles, tea, and bakery deals. They also have a small pharmacy and an Asian restaurant inside. The staff is friendly and fast on checkout. This place is always packed so it's a little hard to navigate through the store on Sundays. They also have utensils and some home goods items. Overall great price and selection of groceries. There is ample of free parking. They also have a loyalty program that offers one free item every Friday. They accept all major credit cards, cash, and ebt. They do not charge a processing fee for card transactions.

The mussels are rotten and open. This is a health hazard. The muscles are open. People were still buying it. It is food poison. I am thinking of calling the Georgia department of health.

Just don't eat anything at the hot bar and you'll be fine ‍This is my favorite place to grocery shop, just the cleanliness of the hot bar is questionable.

As international markets go, this one was really international. The name sounds Vietnamese, but it also boasted a substantial panaderia, and the vegetable and fruit section was a mix of Latin American and Southeast Asian items. While not the focus, a small European section and an Indian row of dried goods added considerable variety The vegetable selection was okay, but the lack of focus meant that in other grocery items this wasn't as good as a more specialized market, and there are a lot of Indian or Chinese or Latin stores in the area that are better within their niche. Furthermore, I was a bit miffed when I bought a large tin of sesame oil which I'm pretty sure was labeled at a $7 discount but which did not ring up as such. I didn't want to bog down mine or anyone else's night trying to straighten this out. Overall, I ended up spending more than I'd want to for this sort of place, though I did find some useful things.

My mom loves coming here when we visit Ga. She can find all of her Jamaican items and other stuff she needs. Now if you are looking for items of different cuisine this is your store. Now when you first walk in this place doesn't have the best smell but you could get use to it. They have live and fresh seafood and the cost is very reasonable

This store has the worst customer service. Their site say they close at 10:00 pm but it really closes at 9:00 pm. if you get there at 8:45 pm you are not allowed in the store. If you get there at 8:30 pm you are not allowed to use a cart and if you talk to the management about it they are not even polite.

This is my go to place for live seafood, cheapest blue crabs and crawfish I have found in Atlanta so far. They have a wide array of exotic produce. There are some great finds down the aisles. Only knock on this place is they probably need a numbering system for the seafood and meat section instead of people chaotically running up to the counter when they are ready and not caring who is already being helped.

Having recently moved back to Georgia I was looking forward to all the fresh greens I just knew I would get here in the south. I was wrong until I came to this store I was very pleased with the price and quality of the food here. I will be going back.

I like coming to this store to get my fruit they generally have the best prices on them. They also have good deals on meats. Stop by the bakery while you're there their muffins are so delicious . There is a strong fish small do to the fresh seafood section in the back of the store but it's a small price to pay for shopping there.

Despite the Korean name, there are shockingly little Asian food items here. This store used to be a Publix long ago and you can sort of tell by the interior. The store layout is confusing and the smell inside is awful. The smell used to be worse, but the improvement hasn't been revolutionary. It's honestly a little confusing because they have so many "exotic" things that you can't find in a regular grocery store but at the same time, a lot of mundane items. Again, very strange that the Asian selection is so small. They have a good selection of international products from Southwest Asia, Europe, and Africa but also limited in what types. It seems that there is also some confusion in the stock (Indian henna for cosmetics was right next to their Indian food products). They have a home wares section with cookware and tools and even a few things like appliances and "mink" blankets. It reminds of how Buford Farmer's Market used to be before they became slightly more upscale. I was in search of canned Asian drinks and was disappointed. Again, very strange selection in terms of things that they choose to carry. I only come here when I am looking for something very specific.

Hi! I just want to verify if your company is really hiring workers from Dubai? My friend received an offer with your company logo and address and they are asking money for visa processing to work under your company. I hope to receive reply from you soon.

I am new to the city and my mother in law raved about this place. I wasn't around when this place was publix but honestly, publix isn't all that great and certainly is not ethnic. Unless you are on Buford highway, Asian, ( in this case Korean) markets are hard to come by. This is why I was so thrilled to be here. Despite what you may think, the produce was probably the best part-- a lot of variety but also with an Asian flare. The selection of mushrooms and interesting peppers were just the to of the iceberg. Not to mention all the interesting Asian-inspired snacks. Hey, sometimes I need my shrimp chip fix or have a hankering for half sized bamboo skewers for grilling! I only hope such diversity will survive in Decatur and only time will tell.

Super good produce and live blue crab!!! I drive two hours to get what I need for the week. The men in the seafood section are rude AF I really mean AF!! But I ultimately got what I needed

Sarah (this is the name the guy gave me when I asked what is her nam) the seafood department was very, very rude and no customer service skills. She left me standing there because she said I was taking too long picking out my salmon steaks and went to someone else who just walk up to the counter ( there was no one else waiting to be serve at the time) Okay, don't get me wrong, am I a customer who paying for the salmon steaks and she a server who suppose to serve the customer no matter how long it takes. I try to talk to the seafood manger and he was in a meeting but I did talk to the young lady who I guess was over the customer service front and told her what happened with Sarah and I doubt it if anyone is going to talk to Sarah about her customer service.

They typically have live blue crabs!!!! Also good prices on large containers of cooking oils.

So nice having a grocery store back here in this shopping center!! Although not as clean and quiet as its predecessor, this Farmers Market is better with an amazing, over-flowing wild assortment of fresh produce and fresh seafood! My suggestion, stick to shopping on the exterior walls only. Nothing on the interior aisle is worth it, both $$$ and health wise.

I'll give you three reasons not to shop here: 1. This place stinks. Literally. 2. Long lines....why? Too few cashiers. 3. Overpriced. 4. Some of the produce items are bruised, moldy, you name it. 5. The cashiers they do have are unfriendly. Oops, that was five. I overshot it. I've lived in this area for 12 years, and since it has occupied Publix's former space, I've stepped foot in here twice. The first time, my young son refused to come in because the strong stench greeted us at the door. Go to H Mart instead.

There needs to be an asterisk next to the hours of operation. Took my baby boy to get some items real quick, arrived 20 minutes before the posted closing time of 9 pm, and a uniformed DeKalb County police officer denied us entry. He said they "always close" 30 minutes before 9. The place wasn't closed, though -- they just don't let anyone in between 8:30 and 9. That's messed up for waaaaay too many reasons. Kroger employs private security, their guards are unfailingly professional, somehow the store manages to stick to the advertised opening hours. Nam Dae Mun, not so much. Setting aside the fact that a uniformed cop was acting as a doorman -- and claiming that this is completely normal -- don't tell people (or Yelp, or Google) that you're open till 9 if you have law enforcement barring the entrance at 8:30 every night.

When Publix's Memorial Drive location closed, I was in extreme denial. I went there the last day they were open and it was packed to the gills with customers, and I thought, "Surely a manager is watching this right now, and he'll call corporate and they'll answer the big red emergency phone and then hit the ABORT button and business will be back to usual." But nope! They actually closed! It hurt my feelings because it seemed like Publix only wanted to be in fancy neighborhoods and I'm a little too low-rent for them. Well, Nam Dae Mun is here and I can confidently give a big middle finger to Publix because I don't need them anymore. I've been to NDM twice in as many days, and I think I'm in love. They somehow managed to cram a million kinds of things into one tiny former-Publix. I'd read reviews of some of the other locations to get a feel for what to expect, and I was sure it'd be adequate but not great. I figured I'd have to supplement with trips to other stores, but would support NDM since it was so close just like I do with Thriftown. But after visiting, I don't know if I ever need to go to another grocery store. (Okay that's not true, Costco is my boyfriend and we'll never break up EVER but it's kind of in a league of its own) When you first walk in, there is definitely a pungent odor. Other YDFM and Buford Hwy shoppers know the smell, but I think it's a liiiiiittle bit stronger here. After your nose settles down, your eyes are assaulted by ALL THE FRUITS. There are also bulk herbs, spices, candy, and nuts. There are live crabs, and an insane variety of seafood. There's a cookware aisle that even displays car mats and rice cookers. There's a small aisle filled with ramen! There are Jamaican staples, Thai ingredients, Mexican specialties, and pretty much any other kind of food you would ever need. The freezer aisles offer kimchi fried rice alongside DiGiorno pizza. There were yogurt brands I've never heard of, and fancy cheeses I can't wait to try. They had Ben & Jerry's, and fresh-baked breads. There was even a tiny food court! It appeared to be just one counter, but they had hamburgers and fried rice (and probably other things too!). The other shoppers were all as goggle-eyed as I was, but everyone's cart was pretty full. I will no longer need to order henna from Amazon, or make a trip to Buford Hwy for pierogies and gyoza. On the way out, there was a receipt checker who gave us a free package of paper towels for spending over $50, and every single employee we encountered was extremely friendly. The only drawbacks (besides the smell) were that we saw a whole goat in the freezer section that expired back in June, and we got some ground beef that wasn't super great-looking. But I'm not in the market for a whole goat, and we can grind our own beef! I don't hate Publix for making what they thought was a sound business decision, but I kind of hope they regret leaving us. If I need White Mountain bread I can still go to Shamrock plaza, but for my every day gotta-run-to-the-store needs, I'm definitely going to Nam Dae Mun.

I agree with the comment about the bag. . I literally walked in and was told to leave my small bag at the customer service. I carry my wallet and phone and iPad mini in it. I don't think so. I said no. I won't shop here then I turn around and walked out I manage a restaurant u don't talk to customers like that. I used to love to come here not anymore. You have lost a customer. Just cause I am a young black guy. U want to single me out I bet you don't dare tell a woman to leave their bag at the customer service

Unfortunately, i took me an hour to find Kimchi, and the selection was pathetic. Panchan selection was non-existent. Incredibly small selection of Korean products. On the good side, the meat selection was very good. I couldn't find an ethnic Korean in the place. Super H Mart is much better, as is Zion on Pleasant Hill.

Amazing selection, great variety, items from (literally) all over the world. Open Christmas day and PACKED. We came home with food from Asia (Thailand, China, Viet Nam), Africa (Nigeria), North America, South America, and The West Indies. Too bad I found this place at the tail end of a month long stay in the area, else I would have been there weekly...

update your damn hours... on yelp and google... i drove a long ways to get here for one item for my meal. and to be mega-phoned by your on duty cop. unprofessional!!!!!!!!

A Good friend introduced me to this Farmer's Market a couple months ago. This spot is a one stop shop. Everything you can imagine they have. Love it

Never again will I ever return here. I asked my husband to take me to the Dekalb farmers market (Thanksgiving meal and simple grocery shopping) but he insisted this one was just as good. I should have known something was up when I couldn't find fresh thyme. Big ass produce section right in the front and no thyme I continued on shopping. When I got home to cook I noticed that the cheese I had just purchased looked odd... that's because it was expired. Not like recently expired; it expired in MAY. Furious as I needed that cheese right at that moment I called the store and had my husband return it. Turns out ALL the cheese I purchased that day was expired. Fast forward 2 weeks later and the biscuits, cinnamon rolls, juice, and countless other items are expired as well. I fear that we may have already eaten some expired crap from this sham of a farmers market. Like I said; never will I ever return to this store.

I love this place. A ton of great items. I am Caribbean (VI Massive) and when i want to cook and feel like I am back home, i come here to get my things. The staff is not very helpful so walk every aisle twice and look carefully.

I love coming here for the low prices! I usually frequent the seafood section, but lately the salmon filets have been looking quite overlooked. Some of them have been having black spots on them and so it makes it seem like they're not fresh. Also, the lines are so long at times that I think it would benefit the company to hire people to help the cashiers bag the groceries.

Racist. Strange that a place run my minorities and immigrants would be racist. I had a small bag with me in the store today shopping. Another lady had a bigger bag next to be but I was the one who had the manager called on him. I asked him why he didn't ask the lady to leave hers he claimed he would only to have him walk past her. Then he is going to say if you don't want to leave your bag get out of my store. That is exactly what I did. No surprise to see asians being racist to black people thou. It's typical in asian owned stores. Anything to make them feel white.

Fucking crazy managers.stupid shit all the vegetable are not fresh. I prefer not to go again in this market.

I taught Nam Dae Mun is a good place to shop but it is not because the customer service is sheeeeet and peace me off. You cannot imagine last time the boss was fighting with the customer holding each other like a little kids at kindergarten student. I was shock until I separate then. Today the sign was showing that the price of the beef feet was $.99/pound then I asked for the box then Spanish guy went see his box then they remove the price then put new price so the can charge me $81 for the box instead for $50. this is ridiculous and is act of stilling. please don't shop with them. guest what the boss was changing word with because of that.

Great to have a store closer to home, but after one visit not exactly thrilled. As noted there's the usual strong, "something was alive and fresh, but not so much now" smell that I associate with "markets". The store is absolutely crammed with stuff. There's definitely something for everyone, but getting to it was a problem. Some of the difficulty was due to the grand opening crowds, but its set up to be cramped. This past weekend the fresh fruits and vegetables seem priced well, while the meat and shelf items were somewhat higher than expected. My first visit was on Saturday. On Sunday I remember a couple of things and rather than return drove a little further to Kroger. Before going to Nam Dae Mun, I could barely stand the Kroger on the corner of Hairston/Memorial. I was bothered that they charged 5% sales tax on food. Hopefully that was a programming mistake. I'll probably go back in a week or two. If it's still wrong I'll have to avoid the place. The extra tax 2% makes the reasonable fresh food prices less reasonable.
