Not exactly sure where all the negative reviews are coming from but I haven't had fairly okay experiences the few times I've shopped here. They have a pretty extensive selection of Eastern European goods like their nearby competitors Tashkent and Samarkand. I think they may have slightly more selection than those two. They even sell toys and other random items that those two don't. They also have a box office for a performance space where apparently shows/concerts take place. Is there anything place doesn't have? During the holidays, they also have an interesting festive display/menagerie of polar bears and other festive animals out front. read more

I bought a smoked salmon for $17. The expiration date was fine and they didn't warn me about anything at the checkout. I thought it would last a week, but it didn't work out that way. I shit further than I could see. I threw up and spent two days at home with a fever, I had to go to the doctor and also buy some peptobismol. Be careful when buying Smoked Salmon at Net Cost. read more

The rude and aggressive security guard forced me to open my bag at the checkout and present receipts for the items in my bag - none of them are for sale at NetCost market. All receipts were displayed, but no apologies after humiliation with no reason. Shame and no customer's respect. read more

They don't know what customer focus is! The manager is rude. My baby was very capricious and I kindly asked to serve me. But in response I heard rude: - The cash register is closed! But nothing prevented her from serving her colleague! read more

Amazing selection! It's a wonderful place if you happen to be working in Rego Park. This place was my go-to. There's gems you can find amongst stuff, i'm sure not everything is the best ever, but hey, we are a ways from Manhattan. Quiet cozy place with unexpected finds! read more

usually I never leave any reviews, but what I saw today I just had no words. I came early this morning ( January 2nd) to do some shopping . Young lady ( she is working there) while she was doing her online orders , she dropped small box with cookies. Of course all cookies fell on the floor. She grab those cookies and put all cookies BACK TO BOX AND PUT THIS BOX BACK TO SHELF!!! She put this box behind. I was shocked . Just no words. read more

Every single time you shop at this place you have to double check your receipt... It s always not the sale price.. and yes i ve a Netcost customer Card .. When you tell the cashier always the same story .. they forgot to remove the sale price tags or it s not changed in the system !! That s bs .. I shop here at least 3 times a week and it happened the last 5 times in a row !!! looks like a system !! read more

Yet another game at NetCost that makes you the loser. Without a NetCost card you would not get the sale price and it has been this way for the longest time. RECENTLY when I gave the card to the cashier, she did not take it and said "I don't need it.". She rang my order and when I got home I noticed a Sale Item did not ring at the sale price. I concluded she did not want to take my Net Cost card. Last week, it happened again. Yep, it was my stupidity, but who thinks they are out to rip you off, but they are. See photo. Salad was advertised at $ 1.99 with Net Cost card. Got to the register, made the motion to give the card to the cashier, she said she didn't need it. Rang my order, I paid, got home and see the salad did not ring at the sale price. Oh yes, the other two items did, but item # 3 was a buck more than it should have been. OH YES, that cashier needs to take my card. read more

Impressive supermarket in Brighton Beach with a great choice of beers and other "gourmet" dining options. The salad bar/pay by the pound is magnificent, but definitely overpriced at $7.49/7.99. You can find cheaper options nearby, but honestly shopping here is a bit of an experience. I'm giving a 3 star because there are bathrooms but they get sketchy and check if you've actually bought something from the supermarket at times. read more

High quality, abundant deliciousness at reasonable prices. We trek to Brighton Beach with a friend a few times a year for fabulous Russian food. The last time we were here, Gourmanoff was not, but they are now, and we are very glad! Think supermarket of the highest quality with picture-worthy produce, then add row upon row of prepared hot and cold meats, stews, salads, fish and snacks. Now picture the smoked fish/caviar counter, the fresh meat counter, fresh breads of all kinds and a stunning patisserie. Put it all in a visually beautiful building that was a theater and add helpful staff. Add the sound of Russian voices all around. Now you have an idea of Gourmanoff. Unlike some of the stores in the area, they were very pleasant to English-speaking me. Thank you, Gourmanoff, I'll be back. read more

It was my first time shopping here today. I bought a few items that I separated into two bags. 2 minutes after I left the store I realized that I forgot one of the bags . When I returned to get the bag( it couldn't have been more than 4 minutes after i left the store) the bag wasn't there anymore. I inquired at the register where I left and with the security guard but they both played dumb and were not interested in helping me. The bag with food has magically vanished. This would not have happened at any other store. Buyers beware. read more

Vast variety of produce, dairy, fruits and vegetables and just about everything else. Their liquor store too has an unbelievable array of international wines and liquors. They also have plenty of cashiers so checkout lines are short. I shall return. read more

Even though within a stones throw of another major food market, Brighton Bazaar, the movie theatre-Esq front now holds within its walls, an uniquely upscale, gourmet grocery store. Breads of all types adorn the front right wall when you first walk in, which leads into a well appointed cheese section. The blue cheese options were fabulous, controlling my spending only to Gorgonzola Dolce, Roquefort and Stilton took some serious discipline. Onto the produce section, while not as overwhelming as Brighton Bazaar still had exactly what I was looking for. Eggplant, artichoke, peppers, garlic and onions. Lacking only in the ability to purchase individual shallots. Cold cuts were uniquely daring, as the veal tougue, head cheese, mortadella and panchetta held the high ground over turkey and bologna. The security is comparable to that of the Russian presidential inauguration with three big guys in dark suits, wired with headsets greet you and say goodby with smiles and kind well wishes. read more

Relatively new grocery store to Brighton Beach. I has a whole foods and organic type of feel but with a really nice area for prepared foods that are hot and fresh. They have a wide variety of caviar. I really like the hot soup bar which I frequent a lot on cold nights. The borscht is decent. They also have a nice variety of olives and pickles, prepared different ways. The fruit is relatively fresh although from time to time I will find something that suggests otherwise. The vegetables are constantly being turned over. Bonus points for the fresh, piping hot breads. They have pretty much everything you could need for a grocery store, however, in somewhat limited quantities. I even tried the sushi here, you can get already prepared sushi or have the chef make whatever you desire. Another bonus for this store is the meat and prepared foods, which you can buy in a serving or by the pound. The line is always long here to get delicious food, but hey, a little bit of a wait and not having to cook is right up my alley. Down the aisles are selections of condiments that will save you from having to visit a larger grocery store. They even have a frozen food section, with some really delicious pierogies. When you get in line for the check out, there is a screen that guides you to the next open check out, as well as a flashing green light when the check out is open and available. Be sure to pay attention or you may get yelled at (personal experience). Overall, the store is very clean, smells nice, and for the most part the people are friendly. Majority of the prices are fair when compared to larger grocery stores in the area, some things are a bit over priced, but you get what you pay for. read more

Special thanks for the fact that you can find incredibly tasty apples! I will definitely come again

I always stop by when I'm in the neighborhood, simply for their beautiful produce. Some highlights: Russian cucumbers, fresh dill, radish and heirloom tomatoes. They always have the best dark purple Washington cherries that crunch when you bite them, so sweet! There is an abundance of fruits that are difficult to find in most groceries like lychee, sour red and yellow cherries, mulberries, kumquats, and black plums. You can find dried barberries, good for heart health. Of course there is ajvar, and many jams. There are shelves of healthy fruit juices like sour cherry, elderberry, cornell cherry, these are all very high in antioxidants. I am happy that they have some packaged baked goods from Baku bakery (no shaker bura but they have the mutaki, which are similar). I treat myself to a little soda every now and then and they have the usual pear, and tarragon sodas. The freshly baked breads are a delight, so many dense dark seeded breads. Of course there are many Russian goods, and all very cheap. Another reason why I will go out of my way to patronize this business: they do not have a "dress code" for women only prohibiting "beachwear", nor do they allow extremists to proselytize to men outside, like that large grocery by the train. I find the security and staff to be very nice and polite as well. read more

(Update) since I have been coming here things have been changing for the better. Until the brought in this new employee named Vira, K (I'm starting to call out the problems instead of dissing the entire store because the store isn't the problem). Every time I check out it seems I end up in her lane. Every time she is rude and treats me like I am stupid. I am safe in saying that it isn't all because of 'you know what'. It is because she is lazy. First she treat thought I was stupid and wouldn't count my change because she was too LAZY to ask a manager or another employee to refill her cash register. The second unfortunate time I was graced with her foul service she manhandled my eggs and I got home and a couple were broken. Then this last time...oh this last time she was so lazy that even though I wasn't trying to be petty or anything she snapped at me for not having cash and having to pay my small purchase by my debit car. She didn't feel like pressing some buttons.(which is her job.) Anyway, I'm over it and I hope that she get better and understands that you need to treat EVERYONE no matter how you look with respect even if you don't like them because they don't look like you. You never know who you may need some day. Please just do better guys! This place is great. I love their butcher meats selection. The only turn off is the buffet line. Too many unclean customers use their bare hands to choose or just pick at the items they want. That could easily get them in a bit of a problem with the health department if the right person reports what they see too often. But all in all I love the food and the employees. They are super ..... (Update) as of April 2019 my views of this establishment has changed. They have become bigoted, racist, and condescending. At first I gave them the benefit of the doubt, given I am African American and I am of the very few in this neighborhood. At some point they have to realize that they came over to this country where we(black people) happen to be everywhere and you can't just believe since you have a "space" no other culture belongs. I thought I was just they only talk to other Russian speaking customers. NOPE. They totally profiled me and followed me to the check out and all. I lightheartedly joker with the cashiers telling them "don't worry I don't steal, and btw you should tell you security guy to be a little bit more subtle about following me around like that." To my humor to youngster had just nicked a sweet treat but I wasn't about to inform them because clearly in their eyes I am the "savage" I would totally stop shopping there but they happen to have the best and cheapest eggs near without getting on the train. I don't say this to get or give hate. I only say it to remind people it's 2019. If certain groups of people can shop in common places in peace you may as well they your goods and services some other country NOT America. We are past the 1950s. Just do better you don't have to like my skin tone but from one human to another let's respect each other. All of our money is green(or a plastic card). Don't embarrass yourself with narrow mindedness read more

I really enjoy shopping here, I even go just to browse the aisle when I don't need anything. The store is very neat, clean and tidy, very fun to shop in. I find almost all of the groceries and more that I need at this store, you name it, they have it. I really enjoy the buffet section at this supermarket, and they have all kinds of exotic Russian foods here too. read more

The fact it is in an old theater and they still show movies is awesome.. It is huge.. As far as the prepared foods, hit or miss but I have not had any issue with the prepared duck or the beet salads.. (my favorite is the garlic beet).. The other prepared food... eh...At least now they are beginning to write the ingredients in some foods.. I tried the Gourmanoff caviar.. it was mushy.. so I put it in eggs..No more caviar from them.. So far I have not had an issue with the cashiers..but I watch like a hawk...One even started to speak to me in Russian.. I had no clue what he said.. And we both laughed.. read more

Rude, clueless employees which don't know anything. Cashiers moving very slow, talking to each other, drinking coffee (or tea) and eating right in front of customers, which is common for this store. The attitude of the manager is simply terrible. He is completely not bothered by boorish behavior of employees. He just impudently laughs at you. Despite the fact that the store is very beautiful, it is simply unpleasant to visit such a store. Definitely I wouldn't recommend to visit this supermarket. read more

Pretty good market sells a wide variety of hard to find foods from Eastern Europe. Pretty good selection of produce and their meat department is very good. Only disappointment is their cheese department which lacks variety. They also have a cooked foods selection that has a great variety of Russian, Georgian, Polish and Uzbek dishes. Prices aren't terrible either. Biggest gripe are the constant crowds. It's always packed when I go so check out is very slow. read more

The soy milk is cheapest on avenue; the organic bananas are cheaper than at health store; always a good range of sale items; carts I can walk like a dog; kombucha; cash register lines run smoothly. I only shop for a few essentials, however I save a trip to Sheepshead Bay. I ignore most everything, but have browsed to find items I like, such as the rice vermicelli (too many egg noodles down the avenue), and it's relaxing to take a few loops searching for something new. If the security guards are rude it's due to attending security guard classed, not charm school. Plus, as an American, the Russians respect the fact that we saved their country in two wars, and beat them to the moon; and I respect that they grabbed up the best local beach space. read more

I can only write about my experience on a Saturday night and it was excellent. People were friendly and begged us to take free samples. The variety of grilled meats, cheeses and other food items both prepared and to be cooked was very impressive. I bought two Lindt Excellence 90% cocoa bars for $5.20 including tax so no complaints about prices! The market is well designed with plenty of room in the aisles, great lighting and the shopping area is very clean. There is also a coffee shop attached to the market. I was very impressed! 8/17/16: You can't use the bathroom unless you buy something and have a receipt to prove it. I understand the rationale, but minus one star because the person checking could use common sense. Luckily some people leave their receipts in the garbage outside! read more

Let me start by saying that this review is long overdue. My event was in May and I am now just writing a thank you to Gourmanoff. That speaks to how amazing the catering was! The cheese platter was so yummy and the meat platter went perfectly with it. Everything was so good but my favorite by far were the savory filled bread called pierogies (not the traditional ones that I was thinking). THEY WERE INCREDIBLE! Not sure if they sell these in the store individually but if they do, you should try it! Thank you Gourmanoff for the on time delivery, the extra add ons that you included in the order and the overall ease in ordering with you. The event was a hit, thanks in great part to you!I read more

Very impressed with the concept of high end pastries, caviar, smoked fish, breads, produce and cooked items to go, oh my! Because we had a bit of a ride, no delicious caviar, but the breads! And pumpkin butter and the hubby had a sample of slow cooked beef roll ...you could get lost in these epicurean delights but then you have these big suit wearing security men hoovering, eating grapes. Maybe this is the new stealing hotspot of brighton beach, maybe its just a owners being a bit zealous! Please note-. You can get organic produce at the little places for wayyyy cheaper;) read more
