    a bag of super basmati rice

    Not sure what the hell is in this rice. I pour t in a container and know the left over rice I had is mixed with this and I have to throw it away. Stay away from this Brand . This is not a bad review on LAMart

    Small Restaurant inside
    Kimberly J.

    Nice place to grab a quick bite to eat. This is primarily a grocery store but there is a small restaurant inside. There are about 5 tables. Place your order at the counter and once your order is ready, the kind lady calls you over. For the most part, everything we tried was quite tasty. The Soondubu jjigae was my favorite. Once you are done, place your trays on the rack beside the counter. You don't have to pay tip here. The grocery store offers snacks, seafood, meats, veg, condiments, etc. Overall, La Mart is a good place to do some grocery shopping and grab a quick bite.

    La Mart had opened its 4th location just 10 min away from me. There were SO many flowers near the entrance that I couldn't get them all on this photo. For advertising wise, La Mart really needs to work on updating their website. Not only we can't find what's on weekly sale, their website doesn't even mention the new store. Extra employees everywhere, but the store was nearly empty. Advertise! As a Korean, I'm always looking for a good deal on Napa & radishes. This weekend, you could buy a box of radishes for $9.99 & a box of Napa for $2.99 in Annandale! La Mart has nice selections of vegetables & meats, but Kimchi ingredients aren't ever on sale. Also, it would've been sweet if they had food court. (Alas~ If only a Korean market had opened up at the Toys-R-Us location.) I'm irked that they had chopped up the 4 makerels into chunks- heads all included. Yuck. I requested #3, the butterfly shape. I was going to grill them. So sad; The store gave me some kind of free container as an opening give away. I would've preferred my fish cut correctly. How did I spend over $200?

    Raw Meat Packs
    Mayte V.

    Purchased 2 packs of meat one " sell by April 3rd " and the second " sell by April 4th" on Thursday March 28th , today is April 1st . I went in today tell them how could this meat been sold if it wouldn't even have a shelf life of 3 days. His response "you didn't buy the meat in that condition , we don't know where you kept that meat. The sell by day means we have to sell it by that day and you have one day to eat it" - what ?! And I told him I had another one that is still great , red and doesn't smell HORRIBLE and he said that it could be be true. The one pack of meat the went bad in 2 day has a sticker underneath (being the original) with marked date "April 1st" which I didn't notice until this morning. He asked for my receipt and I obviously didn't have it 1 because who keeps those types of receipt ; never thought I'd have to go to a store and tell them the food didn't even have a shelf life. How are they selling meat and overlaying stickers so carefully that if you didn't look any closer you wouldn't notice it ! Never will purchase anything from here again.

    One can't help but compare La[me] Mart to similar Asian grocery stores around here. Maybe it's me, maybe it's them, but seeing as how I'm the one writing the review - it must be them. You'll find your produce, your live fishies, those other meats, the mandatory Hispanic foods aisle, and if you're lucky a favorite Asian snack. Don't get too excited now, they don't have it all. What they do have is a decent amount, but nothing in abundance. Get ready to wait on weekends if you have your eye on certain produce, but while you wait, strategize how you'll be making your way around people that like to park themselves dead-center in the middle of an aisle. It's just unfortunate that the people working here are as cold and stinky as the durian they sell. Lady running the "No More than 7 items" lane, seriously, quit taking people who have a million items and other lady, don't give me the cold shoulder when I ask you about the sample of whatever it is I'm about to eat. I know you're in Springfield, but it still won't hurt to smile. If you really can't hike down Backlick Road a bit more to that slightly better grocery store just like it, I suppose you could settle for this place.

    My family has been coming here for years mostly because it's close by and has fresh produce at great prices. Only come here for fruits & veggies and maybe Asian snacks. Everything else is overpriced and the meats aren't that great. But don't count it out you can expect to save $30-$40 monthly if you do your grocery here! I'll warm you up front that parking can be a struggle because of large crowds and cramped parking spaces. The secret is to park behind the store. The store could be cleaner and there is a weird mixture of stenches that hits you when you walk in but it has never affected the quality of the food so it's a preference. The great part is that you'll find a wider variety of produce from all parts of the world that you won't find in your typical grocery chains like Safeway & Giant. Since my family is big on making home cooked meals, we are frequent visitors.

    Folks say the TPSS coop is expensive and that can be true. But: I love it for its bargains…read more First, the bulk section. So many everyday and unusual products at a fraction of the price you would pay for the same thing in little bottles, boxes or jars. My favorites are oatmeal and spices. Second, the wine section often has good prices on decent wines. Not easy to find these days. Some of them are organic. And finally, there are some freshly prepared foods that make the co-op a destination store for me. Sushi. And those spicy samosas that are kept in the warmer near the soups. Especially the cabbage one! Apparently they are made by Zemen, the Ethiopian grocery on Maple, so you could also look for them there. That is the co-op the way I experience it. But it is waiting for you to discover your own - the possibilities are endless

    So this place has undergone a much needed renovation since the last time I was there, and it is so…read moremuch better for it. The store has a much better flow, with the produce located where the cashiers used to be. Yes this place is in fact more expensive than a traditional grocery store, but the bulk section with one of the only bulk season spots in the area. Excellent selection of food products, staff is kind and down to earth, and it really feels like your local grocer because it is!! I'd rather spend my money here than at Whole Foods or some other corporate entity.
