It's a great deal especially when they're on sale. It's been awhile since I've purchased these syrups as I stocked up on my last visit which was probably about 6 months ago. They were on sale at $5.99 each. They offer a variety of Asian goods, produce, baked goods, household goods and much more. The store is pretty well kept.

Bought Cilantro, a bunch of drinks, Asian sauce, Korean Spicy Noodles and a few other items that seemed interesting. The International aisle had new inventory of Instant Noodle packs, drinks and snacks. This store has a good variety of items, although some may be comparable to other stores in terms of price.

This has been my favorite grocery store for years, and I've always enjoyed shopping here…read more Unfortunately, my recent experiences have been completely different. The new staff have made the atmosphere feel unwelcoming. They have been rude, unfriendly, and at times openly hostile. During my last visit, the employee assisting at the self-checkout was dismissive and confrontational. I never asked to speak with a manager, the employee called one instead. The manager took about 12 minutes to arrive, casually stopping to chat with other customers along the way. When she finally came over, she didn't give me an opportunity to explain my concerns. Instead, she was dismissive while walking away. I pointed out that several self-checkout stations had no bags available, and she responded with what felt like sarcastic laughter, giving the impression that she simply didn't care about the condition of the store or the customer experience. Rather than addressing the issue, she shifted the conversation and suggested that my complaint was somehow related to misogyny because she was a woman. That had absolutely nothing to do with my concern. My complaint was about poor customer service, a lack of basic supplies at the checkout, and the dismissive attitude I encountered from both the employee and the manager. It's disappointing to see a store I once enjoyed decline so much. With so many grocery stores competing for customers, treating loyal shoppers this way is a sure way to drive them elsewhere. I sincerely hope management takes these concerns seriously and works to improve the customer experience.

If you want to use the grocery pick-up you need to have in your bank account the amount you spend…read moreon groceries, say.. a hundred bucks, then the purchase pre-authorization temporary hold fee, another hundred bucks, and then since the authorization fee can take three to five days to clear your account you're gonna need another hundred bucks to pay those other things you need like gas and utility bills while you wait for the store to rellease the hold on your pre-authorization fee which hangs in your account as pending. For three to five days. Business days. It SUCKS! I do understand the need to verify funds. They seem to charge my account for the groceries on the same day no problem Why three to five business days for a fee thats being withdrawn into an untouchable pending state from the same computer system? I can't use the pick-up service again. Boo!

The store itself was clean, though I will be honest, the produce section looked a little picked over and a couple areas felt like they needed a quick restock. Not a bad trip overall, just not quite as smooth as I wanted. Fine for a midweek run when you need a few things fast.

I prefer freshly sliced deli meats over those pre-sliced, packaged cold cuts, hands down! Most of the meats are imported from the EU. I appreciate the variety of salads, cheeses, meats, and seafood available. And the meats always taste fresh. Nothing beats that! They also have groceries and a Hot Food section, which I have yet to try.

The first thing I am definitely lost without a Google lens here. However I came here with a Russian speaking friend so I already had great guide. I actually loved the variety here - many unique tea - I will certainly try them next time. The Halva and chocolate assortment is really unique here. I got some Ukrainian Marshmallow - umm I don't know if I liked it - it was too sweet. However the eggplant jar - that was sooo good. Absolutely loved it. One thing is for sure I can go anywhere in world and food will be better than American and British. I wanted to try bread but since it was evening the stock was almost empty. I did got a buckwheat bread which is interesting. The place can definitely benefit from a ambience upgrade - feels little messy and can use some organization. Otherwise a top spot !

My wife happened to be in Downtown Auburn at her fav pie shop when she happened to be drawn to this store. From the outside it did seem like a work in progress supermarket. Upon entering she was warmly greeted by the clerk who told her that they opened Dec 30th 2023 and are slowly stocking up. I plan to review the store myself and add additional commentary along with some photos. Thanks to the owners Paul and Ashu Singh for bringing a taste of Des Moines to Auburn.

Stopped by this Grocery Outlet in Auburn, and getting into the location can be a little tricky…read moredepending on which direction you're coming from. There is plenty of parking on both sides of the store, but the parking lot layout itself can feel a bit confusing and a bit narrow. The shopping carts were somewhat disorganized during my visit, and once inside, I found the grocery selection to be more limited than I expected. The aisles are also fairly narrow, so getting around can be difficult when the store is busy. Depending on the time of day, I can see this location feeling pretty crowded. I also did not notice a restroom available for customers. Overall, nothing was especially bad about my visit, but the experience did not feel very efficient or first-time friendly. There just wasn't much that would make me choose this location over other grocery stores in the area. Efficient: No First-Time Friendly: No Would I Return: No - JY Review

Good inventory of drinks, chips, frozen foods, milk, deli meats, cheese, snacks, liquor, beer, etc. There are even toiletries, kitchen items, and a few electronic things such as chargers inside the store for sale. Definitely cheaper than most other grocery stores! Just a smaller local business. But there are some Cons.... For instance, every single time they are out of one thing we normally get or another! They seem to be out of fresh farm eggs 4 out of 5 times we drop by this store. Or they are out of stock on sugar free drinks I often get here as well. Family packs of sausages are not always available, certain brand of cheese are gone quickly and they change up the inventory of non-alcoholic drinks very regularly! It's good to see changes every now and then. However, hard to depict when they'll have the eggs we like or what kind of sugar free drinks will be there the next time around we visit. That has been our experience shopping at this local store. Might be different than others, though.
