I have been a sporadic customer in the last 3. I call them old and dear friends now. I have known these employees( some) since 2018 and when I walked in 20 days ago and saw the terrific Teresa by the produce section, we caught up on our families and life as she was putting out the salads. Gigi ( the G pronounced like in Give) was 15 feet away and I got a big hug and we talked about working out and our diets. Steve spotted me with Gigi and came over and wished me. There are smiles everywhere and a fun atmosphere as the new employees saw this and fed off the energy and the tone. My namesake Ray also hugged me and asked about my Mom. Elena the Manager is the absolute best - she personally catered( from her pocket) a meal for homeless Veterans in NY in 2023. The products are amazing- yes. The variety and quality is tremendous We all know that. The prices are awesome. The managers and team in this store are the X factor and any newbie dropped into this environment of Veteran employees in the para above are going to rise to the top. I love that they keep moving the greeting card rack. Love that sampling is back.( waiting for the coffee). Love bringing in my out of state TJ bags and entering the $25 raffle. Their avocados are the best. The flowers last. So does their love and care- it stays!

It hard to decide if the products they have are what keeps us going back, or the owner George who is so friendly and helpful. This is exactly the sort of place that makes you a regular. They really do have an amazing assortment of ingredients, and frozen foods, cheeses and BREAD. We were able to get everything we wanted and more. George even gave us a few free bonus items! One bit of advice is to go early. Later in the day there will be more customers and George spends a lot of time with everyone, so it can get a little slow...worth the wait...but our last trip was much quicker since we were there early.

You can order from the kiosk or from the counter directly. There are so many options to choose from so it took us some time to figure out what we wanted to have. We ended up getting the Chicken Katsu and Ramen. The portion to price ratio is amazing. You get so much for your dollar. All though I enjoyed this plate, it didnt taste like any katsu ive ever had. The curry flavor was lack luster. The Ramen was delicious and also a large portion, which I loved. With your meal, you can also get free kimchi and pickled radish on the side. Since the restaurant is in the super market, it could be loud and a little stuffy but over all it was a chill vibe. What you would expect from a supermaket.

However with its modern look and fresh food, this location as the old store beat. The parking lot is pretty big. Looking at the building you can see a lot of attention when into the exterior. Well designed and set in a perfect location, this store can become a staple in the community. Inside the store is beautiful! It is organized and very inviting for shoppers. It definitely takes shopping to new heights. But shopping down the aisle required some guidance, however, the staff was friendly or really helpful at all. I went to the Indianan food counter and got the attention of a employee to help. I took the chicken taki taki, because I've tried it before. Once my shopping was complete, I left for home with my dinner in hand. The chicken was good. It wasn't anything to brag about; I did like it. I mean, trust me I finished it, so that says a lot. This location is a spot I can definitely continue to go to. I just have to map everything out better next time, I mean the staff definitely won't be lending any helping hands.
