One thing that really stood out to me was their selection of Vietnamese cured pork (Chả Lụa) rolls, which can be surprisingly hard to find even in other Asian markets. They got premium chicharron bags too that is the best Ive had and cant find elsewhere.

Third, the workers at the meat counter were all very nice and helpful. Ordered fish to be fried and while it was being prepared, walked through the aisles. There was a lot of everything to chose from and although we didn't need anything, it was a good mental note for when I do need something. We got some produce and all of it looked good, not wilted or sad, so I was very impressed. We took the fish home and it was so much better than we've had at other places. It was crispy, salted perfectly and it was really good. Pretty sure we found our go-to for fried fish!

I've been coming here for years! My family used to have to go to Berkeley to get rice, dal, or…read morespices (we live in Alameda). I really appreciate the proximity of this location to my mom's house. Over the years, the store has gotten better and better. There's always parking whenever I've gone. It's also right next to Lakeshore, so as a teacher, I really appreciate the 2-for-1 whenever I come here. It is very organized and clean. You can find so many options for rice, flour, snacks, vegetables, frozen food, etc. There are samosas and mithai. Sometimes there are long lines because I think a lot of restaurant owners come here, but it typically goes fast. If you register your phone number, on your fifth visit, you can get a free samosa (it's pretty new, so I haven't been able to enjoy this yet, but my next visit is my fifth one since they started this promotion, so I'm looking forward to it).

After a day of running errands, my brother was giving me a ride home when he says, "I need to get…read moresome flatbread..." I remembered a place on Jackson Street that I had gone to 5 years ago that had a tremendous selection - looked it up on Yelp and it was no longer on Jackson, but was listed in Castro Valley. So we went thought we'd go by and give it a try. Great decision! The "new" store in Castro Valley is much brighter, cleaner, nicer than the old location. I think the old location had more stuff from Eastern Europe, but this new location seems to have a broader selection, with more stuff from Western Europe and the Middle East. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful - always willing to answer questions and even give tips on how to use the products that they sell. And his recommendations have been great - we asked him about which tahini and zaatar to get (they have many different brands/types of each...) and the ones he recommended have been way tastier than any of the brands that you find in most markets. Especially good was his recommendation on lebnah - he said that the brands they carry are all good, but they have some that they package in-house that was special. I tried it - it was less expensive than the other brands, but was the very best lebnah that I have ever tasted! Richer, creamier, with just the right amount of tang. Wonderful stuff! Anyway, Crossroads is a nice, clean, well-lit place with a great selection of unique products, and friendly, knowledgeable sales staff. Well worth a trip!

I have a real problem, I cannot stop coming back to International Food Bazaar and at this point I…read morehave fully accepted it!!! This place has been a San Jose staple for years and has been my go-to main supermarket for as long as I can remember. The selection covers everything you could possibly need, from international products to everyday household essentials all under one roof, the kind of variety that makes any other grocery store feel incomplete. What keeps me coming back just as much as the products is the staff. Many of them have been there for years, always friendly, always consistent, always making you feel genuinely welcomed. That kind of familiarity and warmth is something you just cannot put a price on. You come in for groceries and leave feeling like you just visited old friends. This Food Bazaar is a true San Jose international community treasure and deserves every bit of loyalty it has earned over the years. Highly recommend making it your regular stop, you won't regret it

They have amazing selection of spices, meats, breads, produce and more. The shelves are neatly organized. I love the fresh pita bread and lavash that they sell. I found my favorite brand of grape leaves. I also found the pomegranate syrup I needed and the orange blossom water for my Basbousa. They had a nice selection of fillo dough. My favorite brand is the Apollo fillo dough. I got a few boxes of that for my Armenian Paklava. And I couldn't leave without getting some fresh bread. I talked with Eddie, the owner, for a bit. He's so kind and if there's something you can't find, he'll help you get it. It's always a pleasure shopping here. They have the best international food items and excellent customer service. I highly recommend checking it out.

We shop there occasionally (three-four times a year). Can't say much about owner(s) or employees as I never interacted much other than "in out, bing bang" and that's it. I didn't notice or experience any rude or "strange" behavior, neither from customers nor employees, otherwise it would've been one star just like all those other reviews (I rarely give five stars to businesses). Also I noticed during my brief shopping visits that other patrons at that moment were from different cultures, speaking different languages, and from different ethnic backgrounds. Truly a diverse and multicultural environment. Finally to Abigail C.: Maybe you should take your rowdy, sugar hopped-up kids to the park to play or spend more time teaching them good manners. Don't be shifting your shortcomings as a parent to others around you. *I am not related to this business owner(s) and am not an everyday/"regular" visitor but reviewers with low self-esteem and an inferiority complex should consider some kind of therapy or even learning a thing or two about different cultures, or perhaps learning a different language before labeling people as racist, bigots, homophobes or any kind of "phobes".

They were not being crazy with them at all. A woman scolded them and said to put them back, which they did immediately. Then a man came over and told us we were very rude and to get out of their store. I have absolutely no idea what we did. I genuinely asked him what we did wrong and he angrily waved us out of the store. We are a multicultural family, so not sure if race played into things. It was a very unnerving experience!

So I decide to stop in and find out if it's good enough to share with my friends on Yelp. Let me tell you something, you must visit it and buy yourself some Afghani treats ok! I took a bunch of pictures so hopefully they will help you. The place opened 2 weeks ago. It has a great selection of teas, sweet treats, and dry fruits - as we from India like to say( almonds, apricots, raisins and pistachios, etc). They have fresh afghan bread, they have a meat section ! And did I mention the sweet treats! I bought a Sesame paste dessert with rose petals (Tahin Halva) and oh my, what a time to be alive! Haven't had a sesame paste halva in decades! Easy accessibility from Mission Blvd and lots of parking. Go check out this place and elevate your life with some products from the east. Special mention of Bilal who was manning the counter, and was super helpful answering all my questions.

One of the only places I can find is Khai Being aka Lao Baked Seasoned Eggs! They also have pre-made papaya salads and balut also! The owner is very sweet and helpful! I often find special ingredients that I won't be able to find elsewhere. This shop also sell prep food so it's easy to grab and go! I highly recommend this small shop and often come here for more than 15 years. Great service every time!
