    Walfood Supermarket is located right on Bell Blvd. It is a convenient one-stop shop supermarket for…read morethose that are needing their asian groceries. There is a parking lot in the back of the supermarket but it is shared with Mad for Chicken and a few other stores on the same block. The supermarket is a good size and has everything you need from fresh vegetables, poultry, seafood to frozen foods (fish balls, soup dumplings) to ramen and sauces to packaged goods and snacks. It is clean. The prices are fair and about the same as other asian supermarkets in Little Neck or Flushing. There is a $10 minimum for credit cards. There were a good amount of cashiers and staff stocking the shelves. When I was checking out, the cashier didn't really interact with me but it is okay.

Produce is generally fresh, and the prices are reasonable - they have good sales, which will lure you in to stay and browse longer since they have no other similar competition. The parking situation here annoys me a lot. I'm sure the lot is shared by customers at the supermarket and MFC (and possibly the businesses next door), but they have an employee actively monitoring actual customers and cars coming in/out, and they can't even bother to make the lot safer and cleaner by putting back the carts (customers absolutely should do this anyway).

    Listen, I've shopped at a lot of supermarkets, and Food Bazaar might be one of my all-time…read morefavorites. This place is a vibe. The diversity is unreal. We're talking high-end meats, fresh seafood, foreign and domestic groceries from every corner of the globe, a spice aisle that reads like a passport, breads you didn't even know existed, frozen foods deep enough to get lost in, a full alcohol section, and a hot sauce wall that'll humble even the bravest taste buds. If you can think of it, Food Bazaar probably stocks it -- and if they don't, you probably didn't need it. Best part? Most locations are open 24/7. Midnight craving for plantains, oxtail, or a bottle of something cold? They've got you. It's the kind of place where you walk in for milk and leave with three bags of stuff you didn't know you needed but absolutely did. The crowd is as diverse as the inventory -- every culture, every neighborhood, every late-night shopper under one roof. That's what makes it special. So why not 5 stars? The store layout can be a maze. With so much packed into every aisle, finding a specific item can feel like a scavenger hunt -- signage is hit or miss, and similar items aren't always grouped where you'd expect. Tighten up the organization and add clearer aisle markers, and we're talking a perfect score. Gov's take 4/5. The food United Nations of supermarkets. Bring a list and a sense of adventure.

    I am updating my original review because Food Bazaar has now made it unmistakably clear that…read morenothing was actually fixed after my first complaint. After my original review, Merci D. (management) posted a polished public response suggesting that the issue had been taken seriously and addressed. That response now looks like pure corporate theater. I returned to the store and ran into the same ridiculous problem all over again: I asked a simple question about where to find Greek yogurt, and once again encountered employees who either spoke little to no English or were unable to provide even the most basic assistance. That alone would be bad enough, but the dysfunction did not stop there. The lines were absurdly long, and at exactly the worst possible time, several self-checkout kiosks were closed simultaneously. In other words, when the store most needed efficiency, it managed to manufacture delay instead. The attached photo speaks for itself. Shutting down multiple self-checkout stations while customers are stuck waiting in long lines is not just poor judgment; it is operational stupidity. This is not a minor inconvenience. It is a pattern. Customers should not have to wander the store like unpaid investigators because staff cannot answer a basic question, and they certainly should not then be rewarded for their trouble with needless delays at checkout because management cannot keep enough kiosks open to handle traffic. What makes this especially irritating is that Merci D. (management) had already publicly acknowledged the earlier problem and implied that corrective action had been taken. Clearly, it had not. Her response now reads less like genuine customer service and more like a performative block of text written to contain public embarrassment while leaving the actual dysfunction intact. At this point, the problem is bigger than rude service or inconvenience. This store appears to be poorly run at a basic operational level. If Food Bazaar cannot ensure that employees can communicate well enough in English to help customers locate ordinary items, and cannot keep sufficient checkout capacity open during busy periods, then it is failing at the most elementary responsibilities of a retail business. Food Bazaar had an opportunity to correct this after my first review. Instead, it seems to have chosen the cheaper and lazier option: issue a hollow public reply, pretend the problem was addressed, and continue subjecting customers to the same chaos. That is not professionalism. That is incompetence with a public relations filter slapped on top of it. Food Bazaar did not fix the problem. It dressed it up, lied about addressing it, and carried on with the same incompetence. At this point, Merci D.'s response looks less like accountability and more like a written receipt for empty promises.

    Another good farm market launched in Bayside a while ago…read more Good farm market for fresh vegetable,fruits and , groceries. They do have some interesting international snacks and products. The fresh produce, especially fruits are really nice and fresh. Located on 35th ave in Bayside of a little shopping center . No parking lot so you have to park on the street. They do accept credit cards but unfortunately there is a $10 minimum. This is not good for no body they should really change this . People don't like this at all.

    I hate to have to write a negative review about the only 24 hr grocery store in the area, as its…read morehours of operation is a positive one cannot overlook, but warning others of a store policy that is posted nowhere publicly is unfortunately a necessity. This store sold me a carton of Stonyfield milk that, upon opening, I discovered was curdled & had a strong, pungent odor. Although they could technically be liable for this, I gave them the benefit of the doubt & didn't return the milk to a small business b/c I didn't want to inconvenience them or deprive them of necessary funds. After all, while they *could* be the reason it was expired based on how the item was stored/refrigerated, it could also have been an issue with the distribution center, the transit from the distribution center to the store, etc. Instead, I contacted the manufacturer, Stonyfield, directly w/ my complaint. Stonyfield proceeded to send me a manufacturer's coupon to replace the spoiled item. Already as a consumer I was inconvenienced, b/c I paid for a product I could not use and that could have gotten me ill had I accidentally consumed it, & I couldn't replace the item I needed in the moment until weeks later when the manufacturer's coupon was mailed to me, but at least i was able to get a replacement *eventually.* Except... I wasn't able to get a replacement ever! So this store basically profited off of selling an expired product & there is no recourse on my end! I brought the manufacturer's coupon back to the store on Sunday, June 14, and a cashier told me the store does not accept coupons. I was aware that some stores do not accept certain coupons and may not issue store coupons themselves, but I was not aware that it was possible for a store that has a relationship with a brand and stocks said brand in their store to not accept legal tender, i.e. a manufacturer's coupon. Especially when the only reason I was in this position was that I purchased a spoiled product from their store. I asked for clarification about how they were able to work w/ a brand whose manufacturer's coupons are not accepted (not even a true coupon- it didn't provide me a discount, it was for a free item to replace what I purchased already). The employee seemed unwilling to engage in any conversation- really forcefully, he just repeated dismissively, "we do not accept ANY coupons." I asked if they made the brand aware of this policy prior to contracting with them to stock their products- it seemed unlikely to me that the brand was aware of this (I called the brand later on and confirmed they hadn't heard of such a case- in fact, the Stonyfield representative I spoke with stated that "I have worked here for 17 years" & has never had a case like this get reported in 17 years). I also asked why this policy wasn't publicly posted anywhere - at the very least, if the policy was listed *somewhere*, consumers could be aware prior to making a trip to this location. It's pretty unfair to have a policy like this & expect customers to telepathically intuit it. The worst part about this is that I discovered, in reaching out to the manufacturer for a second time to let them know, is that a person in my situation basically has no recourse in the matter, which is almost indistinguishable from theft to me. I paid for a product under the assumption I could consume said product- I could not consume said product, so I paid for something I didn't use. The brand *only* sends manufacturer's coupons as compensation. If one cannot use said vouchers, then they're basically out of luck if they happen to live in food desserts (I don't live in a food dessert but the next most local grocery store doesn't stock stonyfield milk products... unsurprising given my experience w/ the brand). If they notify the store, the store of why they find this policy unfair, the store can just refuse, as this one did, to make an exception to their strict coupon policy. If one notifies the store that they should at least disclose this policy, the store can again refuse. So notifying the retailer itself does nothing. With having attempted to communicate with both the store & the brand directly, since I'm basically permanently out of the ~$7 I spent on milk, the only avenue left at my disposal is to write a review, which probably does nothing but at least it serves as a warning for others. After this atrocious experience I have started thinking about some other red flags about this location that I previously glossed over, like the fact that they have illegally added credit card fees every single time I have paid w/ a debit card or prepaid card or gift card. My understanding of New York State Law is that businesses are allowed to add fees to credit card purchases, but are prohibited from charging these fees on forms of payment that aren't credit cards, i.e. debit cards & other prepaid cards.

My sister took me to Northwell Urgent Care in Bayside, where I found out I had COVID. After that, we went to the nearest supermarket, Stop & Shop in Bayside, so she could grab ingredients to make me a good homemade soup. I've been to this location before and didn't love it. It's not well lit, and I never buy produce from there for that reason. My sister went inside because I was too sick to move. She spent $71 just on soup ingredients. When I went to make the soup the next day, almost everything was outdated or spoiled: Butternut squash turning black Cauliflower already browning Wilted broccoli medley Diced turnips and artichoke hearts no good and to make it worse -- none of it was marked as "Manager's Special", which usually signals produce that's close to expiration. It was just sitting on the shelves like everything was fresh. We ALWAYS check dates and appearance first, but my sister was rushing because I was so sick. She didn't feel like driving back to return it, so the spoiled produce went straight into the garbage. Shame on the produce staff for not doing their job. That is unacceptable. Customers should not have to throw their money in the trash, especially when buying food out of necessity. Thankfully, the other items she bought were usable. I made a soup with a small stir fry veggie mix, chopped garlic, ginger paste, chicken bone broth, and my seared chicken legs I already had at home. The soup came out so good -- and I actually feel so much better today. I'll add a picture of the soup when I warm some up later.

I usually just try to borrow my roommate's car to go to Waldbaum's and order FreshDirect otherwise, but if I'm in desperate need of groceries other than produce I head down to C-Town. C-Town is good for basics and has a good meat selection (unlike anywhere else within 15 minutes of my apartment), but their produce is often a little sketchy. I usually have a hard time finding un-bruised, fresh-looking fruits and veggies. Prices are decent, and there's an extensive frozen foods and dairy section, but for anything fresh I'd either go to Bell Farm or Waldbaum's (though neither of those can touch Whole Foods or the Greenmarket).

The grinder made a lot of noise and the coffee came out extremely course with some whole beans in the mix. Clearly the grinder was broken. I shrugged and moved on. I was a couple of aisles away when a manager approached me with the coffee bag in his hand and an expression on his face like he was smelling rotten onions. He was clearly irritated and wanted to know what my problem was that I ground and left the coffee. Feeling no guilt, I calmly informed him that the grinder was broken and showed him the coarseness of the grind as evidence. He asked me to join him at the coffee grinder as he was intent on giving me a lesson on how to operate the thing. Why I went along with him? Not sure. Usually I am not so patient and yielding. The setting was clearly on the line between auto-drip and fine. Undeterred, he thought to run the coffee through again. The noise was even louder than when I tried it. This time the grinder produced not only more partially ground coffee but also a shard of broken blade. Some more dramatic than myself might refer to this as, um, shrapnel. He sort of apologized. Not enough.
