I am sure there are some reasonably priced things here. But I paid $10 for the smallest (but very tasty) tiramisu.

Everything looks and smells good, and if you have the time and fortitude for it, it could be worth it for you.

If the food here suppose to represent Italy, then I have no desire to visit for the food.

Even though, I have been having weird reactions/food sensitivities to some ingredients lately that make my belly not so happy and brain (I'll get headaches and feel pretty weak all over and shaky), but they're food is very tasty and affordable. It's also really well stocked and organized though they do get extremely busy and trying to manuver my way around the aisles can be a bit challenging. Nonetheless, I went yesterday more towards closing time, and similar to Fresh Market, they are very understanding and they don't like push you out or anything. They will let you shop literally until closing time. I also appreciated how they had security go up and down the aisles as well. I wanted to give a shout out to a cashier named Andy who was very patient, kind, and friendly. A smile goes a long way and sometimes a smile can cheer someone up and his friendly, congenial nature made my day. He was also very helpful though I wish they would give the the TJ's cashiers chairs to sit on because they have to stand stationary in one spot the whole day for who knows how many hours. I feel for people that have to be on their feet all day, but what I appreciated was the fact that even though it was cloaing time he still treated me as I was a guest that he just greeted early in the morning at the atart of the day. I like to recognize those who put extra effort forth and he deserved it so I hope his manager can recognize that. Overall, I think Trader Joe's has an excellent product(s) on their hands and is a well run machine which speaks to administration at the top and how they wish to have their stores nationwide managed. I do wish there was one closer though, but it's not thag bad of a walk and there is always a bus one can take as well. Plus walking is good for you, or good exercise...I just believe in giving credit where credit is due and it's pretty amazing because everytime I go there is always someone restocking the shelves and they work so fast and so diligently too. Like yesterday there was a woman stocking packaged salads (though I do enjoy salads, it's not my go to when I am super hungry) but man was so fast and efficient. Same for this other guy in the Asian inspired foods aisles, like he was making sure that the freshest items were at the top of each stock pile. I was truly impressed. I am sad that I missed out on the Trader Joe's tote bag sale, but hopefully there'll be another one:) I do wish they were a bit bigger in size though because then you could use them as bags to shop with while there at the store and it's good marketing for them, like how Aldi has this giant recycable tote bag...I wish Trader Joe's did the same....maybe one day‍ Also they have really lovely peonies available now. Flowers make me happy

We had the eel avocado sushi. I'm underwhelmed too much sauce and avocado. The Hainan Chicken rice however for $12 or 2 for $20 is not only a steal but worth the trip by itself. The thick dark soy sauce with the ginger and peanut sauce really adds a dimension to this dish. Highly recommended. P.S the automated PA sounds really polite.

On the positive side, they had the kitchen essentials I needed for Japanese cooking, and the produce was fresh. However, I was disappointed by the lack of variety when it came to products from other East Asian cuisines. Overall, it's an okay market if you're looking for specific Asian grocery staples, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to shop here. Not bad, just average.

Not busy at all on a Friday night and we were able to find seating easily. Service is as expected as you order at the front and then pick up your order at the counter when it's done.
