All stores are not alike, even if they are owned by the same company. I usually do my shopping at…read moreHarris Teeter in Park Potomac. But, I was really close to this store on Copley Place and decided to pop in. For me, this location was a bit confusing. I am sure if I shopped here more often I would probably get used to the aisles and grocery items. The people who work there were as nice as could be. They pointed me in the right direction and one person, even walked me over to the aisle I was looking for. Unfortunately, this store was out of both items I was shopping for. I did find a few things I needed. But, as I came up to the counter, I saw the cherry tomatoes that I picked up, were rotting at the bottom. So, I gave them back to the person working there. I hate to compare, but I really don't think this store is as clean as the one I usually shop at. So, given that they were out of stock for the items I usually buy and the item I picked up was spoiled. I probably won't be coming back to this Harris Teeter. It is such a shame, because my last review, was 10 years ago, but they had such promise.

Honestly, five stars for a clean and easily accessible restroom. While driving home to D.C. from…read moreGaithersburg, I had to pee sooooooo bad. I couldn't wait. Harris Teeter was the closest place I could get to without wetting my pants. I walked in, relieved myself, and walked out. The restroom was clean!

My favorite grocery store in the area. Always has easy access parking and the staff here are always…read moreso friendly and welcoming. They have really competitive pricing and have a bigger selection of goodies than other stores. The produce section always has fresh diverse options. Meat and bakery departments also a favorite as they have good cut selections and baked items. The rest of the store is huge with plenty of organic options. Lots of self check out spots and check stands that are actually staffed with people. It's a calm chill place which is nice and not chaotic like going to Walmart or Aldi. Definitely prefer shopping here when I can. Would recommend this place.

I had to purchase some greens that I could only get at a grocery store like this, so I went with a…read morefriend. The place stayed busy on the weekend. I only purchased a few items. Some were good, others were just okay. Here is what I got: CHINESE BROCCOLI - some were long, and others seemed like they were already cut short. I don't know if that is how it is normally sold. Goya PLANTAIN CHIPS - the chips were light overall, but slightly salty. I still enjoyed it. 80% COCONUT WATER WITH PULP - I enjoyed this, but I am not sure I would get it again. I couldn't find a brand on the can and some of the wording said to chill before drinking, but yet it was stocked on a shelf. I may just stick to a brand I know, next time. I also got another juice - Mogu Mogu LYCHEE JUICE with bits of the fruit in the drink, but found that the lychee bits were going down my throat quicker than I had a chance to eat them (not sure I'll get that again even though I enjoyed the drink). BUTTER CREAM BREAD - even though I liked this, it was not as soft. I got one or two other items, but I'll probably get them elsewhere next time due to the high price. Overall, I saw so many flavors and varieties of things. The place stayed busy. I would probably go back again, but with the same friend, and maybe pay more attention to details. It was my first time going to this type of store.

Going downhill. Carts are old and rusty. Store is cramped. No real hot food option (quality and…read morevariety both declining). Seafood section smelled fishy (compared to 99 Ranch and Whole Foods). The upside is they stock fresh kumquat, that's a rare find. The prepared food section: They have only one pot of tofu stew believe it or not (it's the mainstay of Korean food). The place just looked sad and not well stocked. Not many snack options either.

We happened to be in the area and found this place to be intriguing, so we decided to stop in and…read moresee what there is. As the name suggests, there are specialty food items from all over Europe. While I saw some things like English teas, German cookies, and a few Greek items, it seemed like the majority of the offerings were from Eastern Europe. I think over half of the products had labels in Cyrillic alphabet with no translation on them in any fashion, so some things you just gotta know what it is or ask the staff. I saw a lot of things from Georgia and Ukraine, but I think I saw other products from that region (Russian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, etc.). The staff were very friendly, and cheerfully assisted me with some of the pastries we purchased. One had a nice balance of flaky pastry and fruit filling while the blintzes seemed a bit underwhelming. I also picked up a bottle of dessert wine and Children #1 and #2 picked out some candies that caught their eye. The inside is clean and somewhat small but easy to navigate. There is music playing (I don't know what language; I want to say Russian but in today's climate that could be a charged statement. Just want to say it positively adds to the vibe). Worth checking out, if you want to explore a product you might not otherwise be exposed to or if you want to find a specialty European item that you've been missing.

Horrible experience with pick up. I frequent this giant often. It is an older giant. The customer…read moreservice was horrible. The purpose of pick up is to have a faster shopping experience and for convenience. It was none of the sort. Using the app I checked in to say I was here. No employee came to my car. I was forced to go into the store and retrieve my order. I will not be utilizing this feature at this particular giant ever again.

I have made Giant on Bureau Dr. my GO TO PHARMACY for the past few years. Typically there's…read morenothing but courtesy of customer service. This hasn't been the case recently, and particularly today when I was spoken to very rudely and dismissed with the words 'call you Doctor'!! I was calling with questions regarding a new RX that did have any information or instructions included. The question was simple and something I need to know prior to taking one of the tablets. TOTALLY reconsidering not only this pharmacy, but this Giant as well. Unlikely I'll get a response or satisfaction based on chronic rudeness and dismissive behavior. Only doing the most perfunctory job of customer service. I no longer recommend.

This is for the food court. Love the business on the left when one first enters the eating area…read more The owner is so lovely and always smiling. Love the kimbap - lots of filling, not too much rice. My kids clamor to go there. The A1 clam noodles is also delish. I think the noodles are made in house? Not sure but seems like it. The flavor is Will have to take a picture next time. It's quiet and usually there are plenty of tables. Water and cups available for customers.

I'm very disappointed with the recent decline in quality of the freshly made kimbap at this Lotte…read moreMarket in Gaithersburg. This used to be one of my regular purchases, but over the past few months the rice has frequently been undercooked and hard, with a texture that feels almost like partially raw grains. The kimbap is now noticeably too firm and no longer has the soft, properly cooked consistency it previously had. This is not an isolated incident and it has happened multiple times, which suggests an ongoing issue in preparation or quality control. Even my mom, who used to really enjoy this kimbap, can no longer eat it because it has become too hard to chew, and she has stopped buying it completely. This decline in quality is very disappointing, and I sincerely hope management reviews the preparation process and makes the necessary corrections.

My all time favorite to grab my needed Asian groceries. From noodles, rice , all the fresh veggies…read more My favorite has got to be the seafood area, where you pick your fish then ask them to clean, cut, fry or crispy fry. The one difference this time, they put up the glass border, we no longer able to self serve our own fish, instead you take a number, waiting to be called and they ask what you wanted. I honestly prefer it that way too! And last but not least, dim sum, and hot food bar located in the food court on the back. Would come here occasionally to pick up items from there during lunch time.

They sell rotten mushrooms! I bought a box of shitake mushroom, only to discover (at home) that it…read moreis all gooey and rotten. Bad smell too! Terrible quality control. Things like this should not even be on the shelf. 99 Ranch is giving out vouchers (good for deli or bakery). Got some free bread and a free dinner box. Beware though: not every deli stand accepts these. But we got about 12 dollar worth of vouchers. What a pleasant surprise on Christmas day. Nice Christmas tree in front of the bakery, and good variety of different Asian breads.

I have never met someone at a Trader Joe's that wouldn't go out of their way to help a customer. The food is delicious! They have lots of fresh fruit and veggies. The Employees are constantly packing those aisles with fresh produce. I really like their cheese section. I always get the feta cheese, baby Brie cheese, and Gouda cheese. They are priced so reasonably. I love their snack section and I load up on nuts, dried fruits, chips, pretzels and cookies. You can't go wrong with Trader Joe's snacks. I also buy their muffins and breads. They have a sourdough bread that is amazing. The scones are really good too. Don't forget the lemon cookies, they taste like lemon meringue pie. Yum! The store is clean, well organized, and well stocked. If they don't have a product you need, they will let you know when it is coming in. Great food and excellent selection, fabulous employees, good prices, why would you go anywhere else?

But this one is preferable to the one in North Bethesda because it seems to have more parking spaces and getting back onto Rockville Pike can take a while, especially on Saturdays. And unless you like parking in underground garages, you can give the downtown Rockville TJ's a pass (formerly Dawson's Market). Store is clean and well-stocked, and they always seem to have staff restocking the shelves. Cashiers are friendly and efficient - they'll call you over to one of their lanes if they're open (and the lanes are named after local roadways for convenience). Just be careful turning into the lot from Travilah and Route 28 - the first driveway is exit-only!!
