Like a brainless fool, I keep coming back to this supermarket because it is the closest one to my home, but I am DONE DONE DONE! FRAUDSTERS! SCAMMERS! They refuse to honor the prices listed on their own signs, and then make up excuses about why it's okay not to honor them. They have a number of misleading advertisements identifying products on sale, but they only stock those products in sizes/varieties that are not on sale. Stickers on deli products also don't match the prices. Vegetables are not only very hard to find, but the pricing is out of control. They charge 2-3x the market price for loose items and only offer fair market pricing if you buy in bulk. But the bulk veggies are half rotten by the time you buy them. If I could give this place ZERO stars I would. I will do the next best thing and report them to every state/city agency to investigate their deceptive advertising and scam-like behavior. read more

Me gusta comprar mucho en esta tienda. Hay de todo lo que necesito y buenos especiales. Recomiendo mucho esta tienda.

Beware of predatory towing at this supermarket !! On Saturday, Sept. 6th, I parked my 2020 White Volkswagen in the supermarket lot and quickly ran next door to CVS to pick up my prescription before coming back to shop. When I returned less than 10 minutes later, my truck was gone. In disbelief, I asked the supermarket security guard if it had been towed--he told me to call the number posted on the signs. When I called, the tow driver admitted they had taken it and said it would take 15 minutes to bring it back. While I waited, a supermarket employee ran out to apologize, admitting they had my car towed and saying I should have told him in advance that I was running to the pharmacy. I've been shopping here for over 22 years--never once has that been required. When the driver finally arrived, I asked if he would return my car to the lot. He refused, saying he'd just drop it on Gates Ave so he could keep moving. To make matters worse, they only accepted cash (no cards unless you go to their office), so I had to withdraw $140 from the supermarket just to get my car back. There was no grace period--cars are clearly being watched so they can tow as soon as someone steps off the property. It's predatory, unprofessional, and exploitative. After more than two decades of loyal shopping, this incident cost them a customer for good. Bushwick residents: don't leave your car here if you need to quickly run to the bank, pharmacy, or anywhere else. You may come back to find it gone. read more

This was the best surprise ever, since the lines at the other Food Bazaars were super long. I had given up on pretty much every make all the way to Ridgewood until I feel on this gem. There was ample parking, carts, and employees moving around the space, generally friendly, ready to be helpful. The employees were all very nice to me as I moved throughout the space. The store was clean, well-maintained, practicing social distance and well-stocked. I was able to locate all of my food items and get out of the store in less than an hour. It was great. I almost don't want to leave a shining review because it may before crowded and awful like the other supermarkets all over Brooklyn. But they deserve a good review. read more

Food Bazaar Supermarket - Fully stocked aisles - Grocery Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

See all

do not go here. i went here just last weekend because i needed something for the 1st time and they stole my ebt info and stole my benefits i will be making a police report. read more

Actually bazaar-like, this supermarket offers a great deal of grocery and produce options. Unlike most chains, though, Food Bazaar employs somewhat of a haphazard approach to its product curation. Whereas most retail establishments will lay out aisles and end caps with a specific sales and marketing strategy (I know this from working at Sephora), Food Bazaar seemingly used a team of squirrels to decide placement for all your condiments, spices and specialty ingredients. So, if you're looking for, say, coconut oil, where you'll find it will depend on the type of cuisine for which you intend to use it. That means it could be in the Caribbean aisle or the Dominican aisle. Please note that this is not a pet peeve or a criticism (unless I'm looking for a new ingredient and I'm in a hurry). It is what it is. Of course, the flip side is that once you become familiar with the store's idiosyncrasies, you'll be like the store's version of Yelp Elite! read more

Food Bazaar Supermarket - So close to the subway! - Grocery Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

All the staff they hire don't speak English so if you need help finding things your on your own, also depending which store your cashiers will not help you pack your groceries after paying read more

There is a girl, I don't know if her name is white, thin and tall, she always treats customers badly, people like that shouldn't be there, she's always in the front, what a disappointment. It's a good supermarket, but not because of people like that. read more

This Food Bazzars supermarket location is getting worse. It should be replaced by Trader Joe's or something else. Their meats are always stale or repacks with other fresh meats and they become stale all together. Eggs and meats are spoiled either because they don't know how to keep them at right temperature or the customers don't want them at the last mins check out and leave them out in room temperature. NYC Health Department should take a look into this super market at this location. It is better for shoppers to go somewhere else like Billy's Market Place on Cypress Ave or Vitelio's Marketplace. read more

Pro tip: I don't know if the creepy guys in the parking lot were hired by you (to control parking spots) or encouraged by you but it's not a good look. Random men in a dark parking lot who approach women about their cars (eg where they are parked, if that's their car, obviously following them to see where they are going, asking if other people are in the car, etc) will 100% negatively impact your business no matter what their intentions are and make people want to buy mace instead of groceries. If you want to control your lot get a security gate and tickets that people have to take when they come in and when they leave so women are less likely to assume they're going to get robbed or chopped to bits. Gross. So gross. Spending my money elsewhere. See? More parking for you. read more

The male staff is surly. Don't try to ask them any questions. Also, I got a dozen eggs and 2 were rotten Bogota brand. The women at the cash registers are super-nice and that saves an otherwise unremarkable store. Also, the man outside is friendly. I go there because it is convenient on the way home from the gym. read more

Ran in for a couple of items and walked to the 15 items or less register to be told she's closed. Really? She was too busy yapping instead of taking care of customers. I saw 2 other registers open with long lines . I was pressed for time and had to leave without the groceries. Gossip must have been extremely juicy cause she couldn't walk away to do her job. Don't think the place needs any renovations...what they need are workers that want to work. read more

I've never had a bad experience here. The dry food I purchase is always good. The produce I purchase is good also. I bought chicken once because it was on sale and it was great. I actually drive here (about 1.5 miles) because the supermarkets by me are over priced. They are understaffed and the aisles are narrow. read more

Love this supermarket they always have everything I want and a lot of staff so service is super fast

The Food Bazaar On Gates Ave- URGENT!!! They gave my husband fake cash as change!!! DO NOT PAY CASH HERE! He went to the gas station soon as he was done food shopping and when he tried to use the $15 change from the supermarket, the gas station attendant confirmed the $10 bill was a fake. So embarrassing! He went back the food bazaar and they did not believe him they checked the cameras and said that They saw it was fine. Which makes no sense since you can't zoom in an identify fake cash. The money was given with the receipt on top, he had rolled it up together and put it in his pocket without looking. Then they had the nerve to tell my husband to file a police report. He was so upset and offended he did no want to waste his time for a miserly $10. But I would of called the police immediately. Trying to post here to send awareness and hopefully won't happen to anyone else. read more

The strore claims that senior citizens get a 5% discount begtween 8 AM and 3 PM, but you will have to fight for it. The cashiers claim you didn't ask for it before paying, which was a lie. You have to raise your voice repreatedly before a front end manager materializes and until I said I was going to cancel the sale, get the same products again and speak to the store manager, they did nothing. They ended up re-ringing the sale. No apologies for the waste of time or the agita. The stock is unreliable and many staples just are not in the store, nor do the "help" have any idea if they have been ordered and when, if ever, they will be re-stocked. This is the grocery of last resort. Produce is often alive with vermin or on the edge of spoiling, and the thought of buying seafood makes my blood run cold. read more

They basically have everything you need, but a lot of it isn't fresh. The lines can also be insanely long due to lack of cashiers.... that lottery scratch off machine in the front is key! read more

I truly despise my grocery store now. Sucks because I like the international products. But the food isn't fresh. They always move things around so you can never find what you're looking for. They never have enough cashiers. And sometimes there aren't even any shopping baskets! It's a miserable experience. I wish it would close and re-open under new management. read more

The manager (Asian man) is a piece of dog feces and treats his customers as such. I have had several negative experiences at this Food Bazaar and the other but kept going back because they are closest to where I live. Tonight I went to pick up a few things including some steak to cook tonight because I know it never lasts long. I never buy ground beef from here because it's always brown and grey in the middle. Why? Because they take old meat and cover it with fresher, red meat and repackage it. What truly rubbed me the wrong way was that some items are not priced. I've encountered this often in bodegas, but in a brand name grocery store this should not happen as often as it does. They have baskets above the produce section, which I chose to buy because I saw a price sticker that said $ .20 as in twenty cents. What a bargain! There is no sign to indicate otherwise, so I chose a basket of my liking. When I got to the front the cashier rung it up and told me the basket was $7.99. I said, no they are priced at the back for twenty cents. She got a Hispanic/ Latina manager to come over who spoke in Spanish to say "That's not possible" and rather than speaking with me herself, she grabbed the Asian manager. He came over to suggest that I could pay for my items and then leave my paid for items at the front while I went to the back to prove him wrong. I could have brought up baskets initially that confirmed that $ .20 cent cost if I had anticipated this issue. The manager could have went and honestly looked to find those other baskets I was referring to. Instead he disrespected and inconvenienced me by asking me to pay two separate transactions for these items. If I were at Trader Joes they would have either taken my word for it and rung me up to keep one happy customer, or they would have had another available associate run back to honestly confirm that the cost was marked twenty cents. Neither of these things happened, and because of their horrible technology or poor customer service, my transaction could not be suspended and would have needed to either be paid for up front or re-rung. This is horrible customer service! It's not the price of a basket that I'm angry about, it's the disrespectful tone and condescending attitude that the store manager had with me that makes this review necessary. "The customer is always right" doesn't mean I'm actually correct all the time, but when I am and you disrespect that, you lose a customer. After paying for my groceries I asked the kind and respectful guy at the check bag area out front to hold my groceries for me while I went back inside. I grabbed two of the twenty cent baskets and brought them up to the Asian manager who looked embarrassed. He COULD have had the humility to apologize to me and offer my item to me anyway, he chose not to. *ethnicities mentioned only because I did not see a single name tag to help me to identify these people. I also find it unfortunate that the Hispanic/ Latina woman could not speak to me herself and possibly as a power move asked the male or possibly more senior manager to handle it rather than handling it herself. Do not go to this grocery store if you want to be treated with respect. El director (hombre asiático) es una pieza de heces de perro y trata a sus clientes como tal. He tenido varias experiencias negativas en este Food Bazaar y el otro, pero iba de un lado porque son más cerca de donde vivo. Esto es horrible servicio al cliente! No es el precio de una canasta que estoy enojado por, es una falta de respeto el tono y la actitud condescendiente que el gerente de la tienda tenía conmigo que hace que esta opinión sea necesario. "El cliente siempre tiene la razón" no significa en realidad estoy corregir todo el tiempo, pero cuando soy y la falta de respeto que, se pierde un cliente. Después de pagar por mi tienda de comestibles Le pregunté al chico amable y respetuoso en el área de bolsa de la salida frontal para levantar mi tienda de comestibles para mí mientras yo iba a entrar. Cogí dos de los veinte centavos cestas y los llevó hasta el gerente asiático que parecía avergonzado. Él pudo haber tenido la humildad para pedir perdón a mí y ofrecer mi artículo a mí de todos modos, él eligió no hacerlo. * Etnias mencionadas sólo porque no vi una sola etiqueta con su nombre para que me ayude a identificar a estas personas. También creo que es lamentable que la mujer hispana / latina no podía hablar conmigo misma y, posiblemente, como una estrategia de poder preguntó al hombre o gerente posiblemente más alto nivel para manejar la situación en lugar de manejar ella misma. No vaya a esta tienda de comestibles si usted quiere ser tratado con respeto. read more

I've been avoiding writing this review for a long time because I hate when people leave bad Yelp feedback. This place deserves it though, truly. It's awful. I've lived i many cities and visited grocery stores in many countries and this place is certainly the worst. I go here out of necessity as I live nearby and there are few other options except for a slightly less terrible FB location a few blocks away. Where do I begin? Let's start in produce where I routinely send photos of brown salad greens to friends who live nearby and also hate this place. I've bought fruit salad here without seeing the sell by date (2 days past) and only to get home and realize its state and sour smell. The meats here are awful, usually turning to an off color of gray, and you can't buy a steak thicker than a few millimeters (same for pork). Product selection is terrible and the place is a nightmare at peak times. It's pitifully understaffed with lines going back into the aisles. You cannot cross through the front of the store or even access the front of the first 5 aisles because they are blocked by people in line.The 15 items or less lane routinely has people with 40+ items and no clerk or manager (standing in plain view of the sight) asks them to go to the regular lane. Every time, people following the rules have to bicker ammongst themselves or personally confront someone because the manager won't. He stands there and watches as his entire operation is in total inefficient disarray. Go in to grab milk and could be in here for 30 minutes. This is not an exaggeration. This place can add so much frustration to your day. I made the mistake of trying to buy tilapia there today, hoping it might be safe, as the meats are not. Wrong. So fishy and clearly foul. I hate this place. I hate this place. I hate this place. Someone please open a Key Foods or Trader Joes out here. Please, God. I hate this place. read more

Upon first visiting this particular Food Bazaar location around Memorial Day, I was impressed with the prices in comparison to the many places I'd shopped at in Manhattan. My once glowing view has however now soured. After stopping by FB several late afternoons to grab something quick but instead being bombarded by small children running amok without any parents or guardians around to provide any sense of order, I'd simply come to the conclusion that my timing wasn't the best. All was still well and I just needed to pick a better time when the store wasn't severely packed and chaotic. All was overlooked. It wasn't until purchasing mediocre meat once, and then again going to buy meat the other night did I become completely turned off from the store. The rib-eye steak looked old and had began to turn a brownish color in certain areas. I couldn't bring myself to purchasing it. I instead discovered there was another supermarket around the corner. It would turn out to be a savior. I decided to go to the other Food Bazaar around the corner at 17-59 Ridgewood Place, Brooklyn. It is on Wyckoff Ave right behind McDonalds. Remarkably it is a store with the same exact name but better products, fresher meat, a fresh seafood on ice area, and cheaper prices. read more

Pretty decent international selection. Have found all sorts of surprises here including locoto pepper sauce, and various Japanese ingredients that they have since eliminated from their stock. Still, a great number of choices. If you use your IDNYC during the weekday, you also get a discount. read more

Last Saturday, July 2, 2017, I went to Bazaar to do my food shopping like I do every week. I spend an average $200 a week at this place buying organic products for my daughter and me. I parked the car in the supermarket garage like I do every week, and I crossed the street to take $130 from the ATM to buy the groceries a 2 minutes time frame. As I was walking into the supermarket with the $130 dollars in my hand, I spotted this really nasty guy towing my car away. I asked him what was he doing because as he could see I was walking into the supermarket holding the money that I was going to spend there in my hand. He gestured with his hand for me to follow him across the street. Once there, he told me if I wanted my car I was to give him $125. I told him that why should I give him $125 and that If I gave him $125 I would be left with $5 to feed my daughter for the week. He responded that it was not his problem. He did not ask for my driver's license nor did he gave me a receipt. He put the money in his pocket and drove back into the supermarket parking lot. I was left speechless and with $5 to feed my daughter for the week. The owner/manager at food bazaar is aware that this scam takes place and do nothing to protect their loyal customers from this unscrupulous scammer. Please, please people be aware that this goes on and that it can happen to anyone. Better yet, stay clear of this shameless place and do yourself a favour and find a more decent/honest place to buy your groceries. I am giving this place one star only because otherwise it does not allow me to post the review but I would give it 0 stars. Mirium read more
