Skipppp this place if you can buy your item at a different specialty store- do that. Not a clean place, not very organized and the smell is wild. read more

I know when you first walk in the smell isn't the best cause of the raw fish on ice in the store however it's kind of inevitable. The prices here on certain items are unbeatable I always grab sea weed snacks in bulk so I don't have to spend $2-$3 per pack at another store- The customer service is decent when you reach out to the workers but don't expect them to come up to you a lot of times they look busy so I can completely understand. read more

This store is a giant grocery store. It carries variety international foods at reasonable price.

Three stars for the variety of international groceries, produce and the small food court and bakery. The fish market is good as well. However, the customer service is non-existent outside of these areas. Most of the cashiers have an unfriendly demeanor. I felt like I was a bother to the man who checked me out today. I have lived in this area for years and 8/10 times my experience has not been great. Now they are checking receipts at one of the doors, even just for a small bag of produce. I was on the fence about ordering groceries through an online delivery service, this pretty much solidified my decision. read more

That's a ZERO * this grocery store is the worst! Aside from selling expire products they won't refund or replace the item then acuse you of lying. And on the sanitation this place is filthy everywhere you look especially at the seafood area the fish is the for hours with no ice. STAY AWAY Bought the bag of rice Nov 27 2022. read more

I arrived as soon as they opened, right as I walked in I was almost run over by an employee. They were doing restocking while I was trying to shop so not only was I in the way, most of the produce was bad. There's a weird smell in the store that made me nauseous and the place could use a deep cleaning. Now the positive things, the store is big and has products from many countries. My main thing was to get Halal items and fresh mint. The mint was very fresh and very cheap for the amount I got. The store was so big I wasn't able to look at everything. I was able to get a lot of things I wanted for Ramadan 2021 and can see myself shopping here again iA. read more

Hi everyone, I am sharing my five years' experience as a customer at Woodbridge Global Food. Every month I purchased my groceries from this store, they have almost all the verity of groceries. In light of my honest observations and experience. I would like to mention that The food items quality is not good, especially bakery and food items. Many items are expired, and they are still selling, if point out they didn't take any notice. On checkout counter I always be at tentative and focus on rate list (computer) to monitor and check the items and their prices. NOT once many times I stopped them for wrong prices. But no one customer focus on these things. Last time I buy something 2 items and they charged me for eight items? read more

Bad customer service. I brought this spoiled sauce in to Global so I could exchange it for a new one. I did not have a receipt so they refused. I guess everyone should be sure to open the jars at the store so you don't end up paying for garbage, like I did. I don't customarily keep grocery store receipts but from now on I will at Global. And I'll be sure to return anything I don't like. read more

Couldn't find an item, ask an employee for item, she look at us like very annoyed and said I don't know, then she continue stocking the items at the same time she keeps talking on the phone. Second time, we ask for the other item, she gave us that annoyed face like and said "I don't know" then again she keep talking on the phone while doing her thing, stocking an items. A simple sorry, I don't know anything will do, don't need to be mad or annoyed when customer ask for an item. Bad customer service. read more

We're here for 9am and NOTHING!! Produce is empty!! Look at photo!! I finally found a manager and asked why wasn't produce stocked he said they will start soon. Now it's 9:10am on Saturday and no one is stocking. I asked why didn't they start at 7 or 8 am to be ready for 9am opening? His response "that's not how we do things here." I'll make the trip to HMart for quality, service AND food! They are always stocked!! read more

I understand why the overall review is 3 stars and if you compare it to Wegmans than yes you will rate it very low. This store reminds me of a small mom and pop shop that try to carry a little bit of everything. While this store is much larger, it still has a little bit of everything. It had many products from different countries and as my wife and I enjoy cooking this has been a life saver. While we haven't bought anything but sweets yet, we plan on going back once we have some recipes to cook from. read more

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. +jajangmyun +galbi (little fatty) +wang mandoos (rare) +friendly staff +located inside Global Food mart read more

It's not a name brand super market, and that's probably why it's so successful (at least from what I've seen). They specialize is foods from all cultures. They've got fresh fruits and vegetables from all over, including fruits I've never heard of that my wife keeps asking me about. So many options when it comes to rice, ramen noodles, drinks, cakes and candies, etc. I love the amount of fresh fish and the selection. The prices are fair and reasonable. Nice world market. read more

Global Food needs to update its store. It's just not acceptable in the 21st century that it only has cashier checkouts and no self checkout. Thus, what you see in the photo, long lines which block customers from getting items on shelves and socially distancing is only three feet not six. Time to checkout? Typically, ten minutes or longer. There is a much larger and newer Asian supermarket called "Oh's!" over in Manassas and they're getting it right. But Global Food has doesn't any plans to improve checkout and it seems whomever the owners are of Global Food do not want to make any capital investments in improving the store. We now will have one of us stand in line once we get to the store while the other gets items. Otherwise, we spend more time in line then shopping for items. read more

My first time here wasn't to shop but to have a late lunch at the Korean spot. We ordered three separate dishes to share and everything was delicious!! There is also a Pakistani/Indian spot and a drink spot with iced and hot drinks in the Global Cafe. I wish I wrote this review sooner so that I could mention the specific dishes we ordered but oh well, this place is still deserving of a review. Not only are there eateries, this place is almost a one stop shop. There is food, abundance of fresh fruit in wide variety, flower shop, jewelry shop and more. The dining area is like a small intimate food court right next to where all food can be ordered. Worth the visit for s read more

I went to pay for my groceries and I gave the cashier $15 and then he says he doesn't remember me paying him and they put me on hold for a while to check the cameras to see if I payed. They tried to charge me again. They didn't even apologize. Worst shopping experience ever. read more

Top notch - like the other locations, this is a solid joint. Never purchased anything that was expired or damaged myself, personally.

The store is dirty and unsanitary. It was unorganized and extremely messy. The workers are rude and not very helpful. They seem like they have everything but they really don't. I'll avoid going there again... read more

We came in for the food court only... Cashier wasn't very friendly at all and just took our orders. Food was good. I got galbi and portion was great. My husband got bulgogi and the meat wasn't "typical bulgogi" we would get from restaurants. It was more mild and almost just steamed meat. They didn't have any sides except kimchi. Hot tea is free. read more

Good supply and variety of items but you need to check the expiration dates of the items before you purchase them. We grabbed ramen, rice noodles, and chocolate and saw where the chocolate expired 3 months ago, the ramen expires in a month, and the rice noodles expire in 2. Dry packaged noodles have a long shelf life so that makes me worry about where they were prior to hitting the store's shelves. Two stars only because of the price and availability of milka chocolate. We haven't been able to find cheaper anywhere around. But again, CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATES BEFORE YOU BUY. read more

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. read more

I love it here. They have an extensive selection of international foods from all over the world. For a while they weren't carrying Jamaican hardough bread but now they do and I'm buying it almost every other week, as well as the ackee! The produce is some of the best in the area in my opinion at very reasonable prices. So many exotic fruits and veggies, this is my go to when I need something out of the ordinary. The kimchi is tasty as well as the dried fruits. The fish market is the best on Saturday and Sunday mornings. They should implement a ticket system to help it run a little smoother since there can be a bit of confusion with the fishmongers and knowing who was there first etc. The huge pieces of salted cod keep well in the freezer for weeks. I love the ramen aisle and grab a new flavor to try every visit. The food court is awesome! So much variety! There's a taqueria, Chinese and Korean food as well as a Korean bakery which serves up some tasty treats. The red bean bun is my fav! The cakes always look so professionally made, I'll have to try one for my next special occasion. They also have fruit smoothies, Boba tea , coffee etc. I spent over $150 there this week and my very friendly cashier told me to head over to customer service where they gave me two free canned sodas. I thought that was pretty cool. Of course the store isn't perfect, there are a couple of drawbacks. For example, there is an off-putting smell as you enter the store which needs to be addressed, the store could use some updating, and the lines can get outrageous on weekends. However, the fresh produce and awesome selection of groceries accompanied by the competitive prices makes every visit worthwhile! read more

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. read more

I always forget that this place is so close to my house. I went to an appointment close to the shopping center, but I was too late to get in during the morning office hours. So, off I went to Global Food. I am used to shopping at Bloom or Giant, so it was odd that the store was just opening at 9:30 am. I had fun speaking Spanish with the guys loading up the shelves and putting fresh meat and fish out. The produce here is fresh and good quality-- and cheap! They sell items like oranges by the piece and not by weight which is awesome because I got 4 huuuge oranges for a two bucks. It was cool to go down the THREE aisles of Asian foods and find satay sauce for a buck, and fresh udon noodles for the same amount. I picked up some potstickers and samosas for snacks..much better food for us than the typical American heat and eat stuff. There is also a large selection of Latino foods here as well. Best part? Whereas my typical grocery bill at another supermarket is almost $200..I spent $100 on enough food for 2 weeks. read more

I've been going here for more than a decade (!), and for the most part have been super happy to have such a great store close to home. They have a strong selection from many different Asian cuisines organized by region: Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Chances are, if you're looking for an ingredient for a recipe, they'll have it. Global also has a large Indian/Pakistani, Latin American (including Peruvian) sections and a smaller European section that I am less familiar with. There are several good things worth mentioning: They have a reliable section of fresh produce (including green papayas, long beans, Chinese chives, various types of eggplants and mushrooms, bok choy, etc etc). The fruits and vegetables are usually fresh and top notch. It's next to a small food court that serves fresh Korean and Latin food. Global Foods also has an ample freezer section stocked with regional specialties that are hard to find elsewhere (grated fresh coconut, fresh pandan leaves, spicy Hmong sausages, various dumplings, fresh noodles of all types) and some fresh bakery products (lots of Latin American bakery products, even some fresh Afghan flat bread). They also have a separate Korean bakery towards the front that has a wonderful variety of breads, pastries, fancy cakes and bubble tea! BUT, my only complaint -- and here's the kicker -- is the fresh meat and seafood is not fresh. The last couple of times I've purchased meat and seafood (fresh shrimps and chicken thighs/breasts, to be specific), the products have spoiled within a day or two, but well before the "sell by" date printed on their labels. And by then, either the store's slim return window (or just the sheer annoyance of making a separate trip out to return rotten $5 meat) has made returning the spoiled items more trouble than it is worth. Everything was purchased and stored in our refrigerator within 15 minutes, so I know it was not due to improper handling -- and this is not the first time I've been burned! For now, I've learned my lesson. It's unfortunate, because until recently, they were a reliable source meat and seafood and saved me from making a separate stop elsewhere. But for now, after smelling spoiled meat and shrimps one too many times, I'm totally put off from the prospect of buying meat there. I would rank the seafood / meat departments zero or one stars. The rest of the store rates a five. So, I'll balance it out and rank it three stars. It's a fun store to go to, but proceed with extreme caution in the meat and fresh seafood departments. read more

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! read more

"What's that funky smell," you ask upon entering the store. It's the smell of my childhood and it always feels like home when I come in. Global Foods is aptly named. They sell all kinds of different ethnic foods here...Asian, Latino, African, Indian, American and then some. You need exotic ingredients? Chances are you'll find it here. Good prices on most but not all things. (You've got to know your products price point.) Pretty well organized but not pretty to look at, at all. The employees are just alright too. read more

This is the corner coffee counter inside the food court at Global Market. The best thing about this cafe is that it serves halo-halo. For those that might not know, halo-halo is a Filipino cold liquid confection that is made with shaved ice, sugar, milk cream, chunks of different asian fruits and gels, and ube ice cream. I found out through a friend that the owner (the little old lady behind the counter) is Filipino. I saw the bubble tea posters displayed on the wall and decided to try a mango bubble smoothie. She filled the cup to the brim, thanks for that! The mango smoothie itself was great, but I'm not a fan of the bubbles drink though. Those dark brown bubbles just didn't seem to taste right with the citrus mango juice. Prices were a little high for the presentation, selections are really minimal and service was kinda so-so. Lola was fishing something out of her pocketbook for like 5 minutes. Even after I shook my keys on the counter to let her know that I was there. Another minus for me is that she accepts CASH ONLY. read more

I come here mainly for red bean buns and kimchee, and both a very delicious. The floors could use a makeover, but that's a bout it. The store is well organized by region so it is easy to navigate. The checkouts are hit or miss. Sometimes it goes fast, but on other occasions it's a little slow. The produce section has one of the better selections in the area, and is significantly cheaper than Wegman's produce. read more

You can literally find everything here. From far east asia , middle east, and south american cuisine.. the ingredients you search for can all be found in one convenient location. If you are unfamiliar with certain asian fruits and fresh fish markets, the smell can be a little overwhelming. Thats how real markets are though, you can smell what is being sold in front of your face, and its a wonderful experience. If scentless fruit and vegetables without an earthy bouquet is your thing, this isnt the place for you. If mayonnaise is on your spicy list, it may suit you better to stick to the safety and warmth of the familiar. read more

I have never had a bad enough experience that I would write a review on a GROCERY store but If I could give less than a star I would to Global food on 14183 Foulger Square in Woodbridge. Don't expect customer service at the Global store. When you ask an employee who works there a question, they right away say they "don't speak English," or worse say they "I don't work here!" The manager is also incompetent because when you complain to him about poor customer service (rude behavior) he also come out cluess and no help at all. We always ignore these behaviors, just do our grocery shopping and leave without any exceptions. On March 3rd, 2022, an cashier named Jose Hernandez scanned my groceries and his full attention was having a conversation (in Spanish) with the grocery bagger. He didn't say Hi or acknowledge us. He kept throwing our grocery on a side like he was in a hurry even though there was no one behind us. I asked for a price check between 2 similar items and he rudely said $4.99 but I ignored his rude response and asked to keep 1 of the item. He then literally flung the item aside. I asked him "are you ok, seems like you are having a bad day, but please don't throw our groceries like that, you are being rude." Jose Hernandez kept ignoring us and speaking to the bagger in Spanish and throwing our groceries aside. I asked for his name and he said "I don't have a name." I was frustrated and asked the bagger to call a manager which he just shrugged, and looked away! After asking him several times we had to call for Manager's attention ourselves. The manager was incompetent as well and no help. We were loss of words and just left the store. We go to two different Global Food...one in Alexandria and one in Woodbridge and both of them have very poor customer service. Foulger Square is worse! They don't acknowledge you, are unable to answer questions, and converse in Spanish while they scan groceries completely ignoring the customer. Please train your employees and managers properly. The store itself with varieties it carries, is the reason customers like me go there but not anymore. When shopping for groceries customers rarely need help but having some courtesy is always what brings customers back especially in this time of inflation affecting every household. read more

This place had made most of my cooking possible... they have "almost" everything I need for my recipe at a very reasonable price. They've got fruits and vegetables. They also have seafood selections, poultry, and other meat products. The best part that i love is the enormous.selection of condiments and seasoning even those hard to find in regular grocery stores. So why 3 stars? Well, on my opinion, I always find it annoying how most make up of shoppers crowd here are. Most of them would just leave their shopping cart anywhere and mostly block the way. Although they have several counters open, they don't have big enough space where shoppers can go in proper line and as annoying as it can be, most shoppers doesn't even know common courtesy such as even though in line, leave enough space where people can pass through. But if you're looking for that one particular ingredients for your recipe, try looking here. There's high possibility they got it ;-) Just be ready with lot of patience along the way... read more
