I saw One Way Market post freeze-dried strawberries covered in Hershey's Cookies and Cream Chocolate on their instagram and had to try them! To be honest, I was a little nervous about going only because the prices aren't visible. After spending way too much for 7 items, I can now say that's a risk I'm not sure I'd take again. Was it cool to try yummy snacks and drinks from other countries? Yes! Did I spend too much money? Also yes! It was an experience and I'm grateful, I would just recommend putting the prices on the items. read more

One Way Market - Snack Wall - Convenience Stores Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

For starters I've grabbed a bag of exotic chips when this store first opened and they were old, the customer service from the old woman every time I enter the establishment had been nothing but disgraceful, a nasty look, I have to ask her to check me out multiple times, the ambiance is horrible unless the man (not sure of his name) is in the store, not really sure how this business is still open, will have to look into it more. read more

I've been to this store previously but I thought nobody was in there to greet me until a older woman came from the back and asked what I wanted with a "stank face" so I left but today I decided to give it another chance but the older lady is ALWAYS rude I walked in to get a leaf and she was sitting in front the register just making a face at me until I said hey can I get a leaf for her to continue sitting down and tell me i needed an id which I ran back to go get and then she got up and gave me the leaf but the customer service made me very feel very uncomfortable and I wouldn't recommend this store to ANYONE unless the owner was there. read more

The "NO WAY MARKET" I should have read the reviews! When I selected two little bags of chips and a fancy KitKat my jaw dropped at the total. I laughed and said there must have been a mistake. I was informed that the total was indeed correct. I smiled, laughed, and walked out the door. I applaud them though--in the era of Covid businesses are dying right and left but a place marking up junk food 500% rocks on, obviously on the "haves" dollars and not the "have-nots" in the era of "Who the he!! can afford to eat cake?!" read more

The idea of this shop is amazing and could be a hit! But the prices are very steep and unnecessary. Almost felt like a bait and switch. I'm a big supporter of local business, but they need to do right by their customers. The prices here are INSANE! They could drum up so much more business if they priced things fairly. There are so many more of these stores online or even Amazon where you can order the same products and come out way cheaper even with shipping. All in all a good store, but hard to see how they stay in business with those prices! read more

I've been following on social media for a while and was excited to give them a try when passing through Richmond on my way back home to VAB from a weekend trip. I was greeted when I walked inside quickly and it was a rainy mid-afternoon Monday trip so I think I got lucky because no one else came in the whole time to browse like I was. I did see several items I was interested in, some KitKat bars, some boxes of Oreos, several kinds of chips, cereal, chocolate candy bars and two drinks. However, when I asked the cashier how much the Oreos and bags of KitKats were he informed me $10. What?!? The KitKat bags weren't even full, they had like 10 items in them. Nothing has prices on it at all, so I was immediately much more selective after hearing that. I knew everything was exceedingly marked up. I believe the cereal box was $20 or something crazy so I didn't even bother. In the end, we left with two small-sized bags of chips and one Oreo sleeve for $33. They do have some things I've never seen, but as another reviewer mentioned, I decided to search Amazon and found a lot of the items I saw, for like $6 here and there. I think it's great that this place has carved out a space for themselves doing something so unique, and a following on social media, they've figured out how to do that well by sharing what everyone chooses so people can see stuff and wanna go try it, but WOW the prices are high! If I'd gotten all the things I wanted... I would've spent $95 on like 8 snacks. I have a whole new appreciation for some of the purchases I see on Instagram now, bc they're like $350. I would've probably been more likely to spend a bit more money on a few more items if not so high. It was a cool stop once - but after now knowing the prices, it was a one and done for me! read more

Cool little neighborhood market with some personality. They have snacks and drinks plus some foreign brands that looked Thai and Japanese, if I had to guess. They also got some dope-looking shirts and hats for sale. I got two coconut water tall boys for $5.45. Just be aware that nothing has prices and some of those items are more expensive than you might expect. I almost got one of those exotic rap juices until the guy told me it was $12...for a little tiny bottle of lemonade. read more

How you stay open with expired products? $9 for a bag of chips and $8/9 for candy bar. Everyone needs to start going to the international mart on broad cause I seen most of this in there for 1/2 the price and Walmart to. Check the Tokyo shop in Carytown also. I don't mind supporting small businesses but don't gouge ppl like this. read more

Small little market with extremely overpriced mostly-Asian imports (some with 7-11 logos). Was hoping for some snacks from Germany, Britain, Turkey. No prices on most items, so be prepared to pay up big-time at checkout. $20 for a Pepsi Cream Soda. They do have some American snacks and drinks. Entertainment 6/10 but value 2/10. read more

Exotic, international snacks and drinks. The day I visited, shelving units were being replaced so things were a little out of sorts. I didn't find pricing for the drinks so i asked. They're different depending on the size and where it came from. It's fun to try different and unique flavors that are not readily available in normal stores. read more

I'd seen a news story about this spot but totally forgot to visit it the last time I was in town. This time I remembered. One of my favorite things to do in any country is to go to grocery stores and markets because I feel like I get to learn so much about what people are eating and snacking on. Bags of chips are always something I purchase for souvenirs or for my own enjoyment so I definitely had to try One Way Market. When I'm stateside I love to visit Asian, big-box grocery stores to try different snacks but One Way Market is different in the sense that they carry, primarily brands from the U.S. but flavors or editions that are not released here. For example I've always marveled at how different Doritos are in the U.S. compared to Canada so it was eye-opening and fun to try Doritos for all over the world. The prices aren't cheapest but still, you got pay for exclusivity, but this is a wonderful place to loose yourself for a bit and to get a fun snack for a coworker or a friend and something for yourself too. read more

This is an amazing, warm and inviting store. It's set up like a corner store which made me happy. Taking a look at the shelves you'll find snacks from all over the world. Chips and cookies, candy bars and Cheetos. Dorito salsa! It is a small space packed with big flavors. The owner was very nice. He answered all my questions and entertained my active children as they danced around the store. He gave us everything (we got a lot ‍) in a super nice box. He carried the box to the car for us. It was all around an amazing experience. We got stickers with the stores logo and we got tagged on the stores Instagram. In the heart of RVA, I drove down from Newport News and was not at all disappointed. I will be returning...... a lot!! read more

One Way Market is the spot in RVA & VA for any and all international/exotic snacks. I've been coming around for a few months now, and have always been blown away from the selection and constant updated stock. The owner is good people and always asks how I am/what's up. Some other reviews are about price, which I would like to point out that the prices at One Way are comparable if not cheaper than most online international/exotic retailers. I've done the research to see what it would take to get some of these items, and between product and shipping alone, it ain't cheap! Shout out to One Way for always having rare items at a good price on top of a cool market with the essentials as well. read more

Well, not sure what to make of this place, but if you don't mind spending a ton of money on what i would consider "novelty" food and drink, then this is your place. I understand you have to make money, but I think this is a bit overboard, $ 20.00 for an Pepsi Cream Soda from Asia? I mean dang !!! Mostly Asian stuff, nothing much else from other countries. But it is entertaining to go there and browse... read more

This is a very unique store and I would love to try one of everything!!! The items lack prices so you have to ask when you get to the register. The gentleman that waited on me provided the WORSE customer service I've ever experienced. If you have a novelty store with no prices then you have to expect surprise at a $35 Fanta soda. Instead of being a SMART ASS, explain the reasons why. It was my birthday so I would have treated myself BUT I purchased my champagne kit kits and banana drink for almost $20 and walked out for the last time. It was the bad service for me! read more

Great place to get exotic snacks that you can't get anywhere else!! A huge selection of snacks you would never see in the US, while visiting RVA definitely go here! read more

I want to start off by saying that I love this business concept and when this store first opened, my husband and I loved it. It's been a while since we went so I took my friend there just recently to show her the variety of snacks. When we walked in, it was not the same size or selection of snacks that they used to have. I got two bags of chips and a package of freeze dried skittles. One of the bags of chips said on the front it was €1.25 so I assumed it couldn't be more than $5.00. Nothing had price tags on them and so my friend and I assumed it would be a little bit of an upcharge. When we got to the register, I was shocked to see for my three items it was a whopping $27 and they asked for a tip even though we weren't even acknowledged. The bag of chips that was priced at €1.25 ended up being $10. My friend found peelable mango candy and it ended up being $7 or more. When she got home, she realized it was from Walgreens and and is actually priced at $1.99. To me, that is just scamming people and is unethical. I understand everyone is trying to make a business but when you are marking up products 670%, it becomes questionable. read more

Went with my partner to get a few snacks, none of the items in the shop had listed prices, but I was not expecting to pay 50$ between 2 soda 2 bags of chips when we went to the register. I looked up the items online and found them at half the price, and bet you would even be able to find similar products by going to your local Asian Market. 1/10, interesting products but way over priced and does not have any prices listed on items. one soda was literally 18$. Literally could have bought a weeks worth of groceries with that money but felt shamed into buying these over priced snacks. :( read more

Great selection of yummy and popular Asian treats and snacks! Not just that though, big selection of sodas and drinks! You have to go and see the selection. read more

If you want to get ripped off, go here. Don't get me wrong, I understand the "exotic snack" draw. It would probably be better if you would subscribe to one of those international snack boxes if you are interested in trying different snacks from all over the world. Two of the items we purchased were expired (our bad but still). There are no price tags on anything so just be forewarned. I can understand an up charge because they are imported but you might want to do yourself a favor and not spend a few hours pay on about 7 items. Do not recommend. read more

Very rude worker in the store. I don't like workers that act annoyed when you ask them simple questions. People do not owe any business their patronage. I will never be back. read more

Way over priced, you can go to an H Mart and buy the "exotic" Kit Kat's for $6 a bag and the Sangaria drinks for $2.49. No prices until you're at checkout creates an environment that doesn't allow consumers to compare/contrast prices to other markets until they've received their itemized receipt in which by then you've spent 50% more than you would have elsewhere. read more

This is, hands-down, the best place to get unique snacks anywhere in Richmond. It's designed like a corner market, everyone is chill, and the variety of products is ridiculous. To those of you who are complaining about the prices, you realize it costs a fair amount to ship products from other countries, right? Why would you want to support a massive corporation like Amazon when you can support a local business? I love that this is in my neighborhood and I will continue to walk around the block to One Way Market to buy random snacks because they're doing a cool thing in my city. read more

The cashier was pleasant and seemed somewhat knowledgeable. I asked about a certain product, but he glossed over and never gave an answer. Save your money! Rip off and deceiving. He charged almost $20 for a bag of Zapps Voodoo chips (not imported) and $18 for a Fanta Piña Colada, both of which I later found in Wawa. He said it was an import fee. Prices aren't posted and when you get to the register, the register screen that you see says one price and then he drops the real price on you. Import Fee, he says. So, I guess people think that most of these items are hard to find. Secret: If you venture into an Asian or Hispanic market, you can find a great number of these snacks for much less...green tea Kit Kat, Fanta, etc. He does have some impossible to find treats like Mac N Cheese chips, but most of it is not worth paying for. Of course this area is becoming gentrified. Back in the day, nobody would have set foot in this area as an outsider, but with gentrification the customer base has changed and those people are willing to pay as well as people who don't know better. read more
