We stopped by The Fresh Market/Farm Fresh located at chatham drive because it was convenient. We found the dry spice package we needed, but the packaging was broken. We went to customer service and spoke with the man in charge, but unfortunately, he told us it was the last one in stock. Since we are not familiar with the area and weren't sure where else to go, we decided to take the broken package and use it anyway--it's a dry spice, so we figured it would be fine. To our surprise, the same gentleman came to the cashier and told her not to charge us--it was free. Even though the cost of the spice wasn't significant, his thoughtfulness and kindness truly impressed us. This kind of gesture doesn't happen often in international markets. He made this Thanksgiving feel even more like Thanksgiving.

I often find better deals here now in their weekly circulars than at Food Lion, and the produce is ALWAYS much better than Food Lion. I like that they have many, many niche items -- stuff not many people probably want, but I appreciate. For example, the red velvet cake pettifors I got for my birthday - SO good, and they keep longer than regular cake, so I can enjoy them slowly. And really, the customer service can't be beat - the staff is always friendly and helpful. I accidentally left one of my bags recently, and by the time I got home and realized it, I figured it was a lost cause. Called over to the store, and the service desk had it for me! Overall still a great shopping experience.

I've literally never had a bad experience. They always are so polite and go out of their way to help! They have a wonderful selection of flowers that have only gone empty on Mother's Day weekend. I get flowers from them every 2 weeks, they last pretty long. Unlike the majority of the fruit from regular grocery stores, theirs doesn't go bad fast. Despite all of the viral foods that make all of the random ppl come here to record, it's not bad if you come at the right times. Their selection of products are the absolutely best. I had my favorite items and look forward to the new finds. The store is always clean and there are always good vibes. Corey the manager is pretty awesome & always goes out of his way. Amani is one of my favorite associates that I look forward to seeing And my "wine guy" Phil gives THEE best wine recommendations. He hasn't failed me in the last 3 years. Overall, I simply love this place.

The employees always seem happy. They are always working hard. They work hard stocking the shelves and keeping the store organized and clean. We are fans of the samples. Their bath products are fantastic. I love their shampoo and conditioner. Don't skip the frozen food section as well. They also back up their products if there is an issue. Trader Joes has so many great products! I purchase new flowers every 2-3 weeks. Their flowers last so long. My secret is changing the water every week and I use the "food". Their flowers are very popular. I personally love this location. I have gone to the Williamsburg location and just going I did not enjoy it. I would only go in a pinch.

This is the spot we get all of our hard to find produce, as well as our ingredients for Asian/hawaiian meals as the selection is expansive and you can usually find nearly everything you need. Since it has a lot of specialty items, I couldn't tell you if they are good deals or not, but I can tell you, they probably have it so that's half the battle!

I'm happy that Newport News has its own, huge asian and latino store. I shop here often and I would…read moresay that this store has gotten better with managing their fresh meat and fish smells over the years. However, I highly recommend people check expiration dates and sniff the packaged produce before purchase. I bought woodear mushrooms that had already spoiled (smelled extremely sour even after washing) after I refrigerated it post-shopping and opened it up hours later to cook for dinner. There have been other instances where the goods we bought were very expired or are past their best by dates (for instance last month I bought spring roll wrappers that was best by Dec 2024. It's 2026!). I have noticed that the relevant items in Korean cuisine are the freshest selection maintained. If you're planning to make Korean foods this is a great spot to shop as they have aisles dedicated to Korean products. Aside from potentially buying expired items they do offer a wide selection of ingredients, food items and even household cleaning products kitchenware and other miscellaneous house items. They also have hot food to-go and the options to choose from is plenty.

The employee who helped me searched was so nice because then she researched it to tell me the stores no longer carry that product. Appreciated the service and she definitely saved me from driving to a lot of other piggly wiggly. The parking lot is really spacious! It has a few stores near by and a police station.

Also, I joined their MVP rewards where you shop and earn discounts depending on certain items. Believe me, they've come in handy for saving more out of my wallet. There are times were produce may not be in the best shape depending on the time of day you shop, but for us, we had more good days than bad. And just like that, the year went by fast.

We stopped in during our search for a certain brand of sucking candy made in Indonesia, and only available in a few retail shops in and around Newport News, VA. Kundan isn't one of them, unfortunately. The store is undergoing major renovations. Some aisle are inaccessible and many are simply empty awaiting completion of the work. The folks we spoke with tried to be helpful, but they couldn't find what we were after. Given the upheaval in the store, with tripping hazards abounding, they probably would be wise to close their doors and ask for temporary forgiveness as they endeavor to upgrade and modernize the facility. I am sure their customers would understand and appreciate the concern for their wellbeing. I know I would.
