    As a grocery store Fareway is just so so. Used to be the best meat in Iowa. Now almost everyone had quality meat. Their produce lacks in that it's usually old looking. They put everything in Ziploc bags which kills most fresh greens in a day or two. The prices on regular groceries are spot on. Just not a lot of selection, it's how they keep prices down I'm sure. This Fareway is small and really easy to get in and out, for those fast runs after work.

    We had to move my gf's mother into a Senior Living apartment in Ankeny last night. She's moving…read morehere from Oklahoma City and the items stocked between our local stores and what she is used to are a little different. One of the things she had to have is Raymundo's sugar free gelatin. Afer using the mobile app I was able to find the item in two stores. Urbandale and Mills Civic. The app even told us where to find it... Aisle 20 South. Aisle 20 doesn't have a sign on it, but there is a refrigerated section on the other side of aisle 19. After about three back and forths we couldn't find the Raymundos. I grabbed a younger gentleman who was kind of over by the meat counter and asked if he could help us. He had to go check a couple of things but came back after a few minutes. He walked with us and was able to find the item... We bought all of it. Lol While I wish the app had been a little more helpful and listed a "bay" like the Home Depot app... I have to drop four stars here just because of the customer service we received if nothing else! Thanks Hy-Vee! Glad we were able to find our helpful smile tonight...

    I bought two personal pan pizzas. They tasted good. However, it would be nice if the aluminum pans…read morewere oiled. Both pizzas stuck to the pan so tight we had to eat them with forks. Although that's not a deal-breaker, it's not how one expects to eat a pizza. I'll buy them again, but spray the pans. Please?​

    The customer service here is absolutely unacceptable. From the moment we walked in, the lady at the…read morecounter acted like we were a problem instead of customers. She immediately demanded to know what we wanted. I told her we were getting soy sauce and a few other items, but she still followed us around the entire store, watching us like we were doing something wrong. Every minute she kept pushing us: "Can you check out now?" We were literally just trying to shop. When I said we were still looking at a few more items, she told us she was "not comfortable" and actually asked us to leave the store. I've never experienced such rude, unprofessional customer service anywhere. If this is how they treat paying customers, I won't be coming back -- and I'd strongly suggest others avoid this place too

    I stopped into Wang's last night for the first time. I found the market to be a little cluttered,…read morebut clean. The items in stock were plentiful for a smaller store. I walked out with some frozen pork lumpia, frozen kimbap, frozen Korean cheese corn dog, and some Nongshim gochujang shrimp crackers. My total was $36 and change. Some items were $1 or so above MSRP and some were $1 below according to Google. In line for a smaller market that doesn't order/carry huge quantities. Parking is easy with a them being in a business strip with a large lot. The owners were polite and courteous. I was greeted when I walked in and thanked when I left. She even threw in a couple of free small boxed milk drinks for paying with cash... It's nice to have for convenience here on the West side when you don't want to make the drive to C Fresh, Double Dragon, or Golden Land. And yes... In the past my inner child has had a field day with the name. Just like A Dong... But that's just me I'm betting. Lol

    Really clean, well stocked store with the friendliest staff! Nice selection of European breads,…read morejams, cheeses, chocolates etc. everything is so clean and nothing is out of date. I'm very intrigued with the frozen dumplings and will pick some up next time. If you like cheese buy the cheese in the can with the red lid- you won't regret it! It's like a creamier feta in a brine. So yummy!! Can't wait to try more treats from this shop.

    I was in the neighborhood and happened to be driving by this little store. I'm a sucker for ethnic…read moregrocery stores so of course I had to stop in. I'm so glad I did, too, because I found a candy bar that I had been looking for for many years that I saw at another store that stopped carrying it. When I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly man behind the counter. He was extremely nice and helpful when I asked him questions about some different candies that I saw that had foreign writing on them. There was a whole aisle with candy in it. I couldn't believe my luck. There's something about foreign candies that I just find very appealing. They're unusual and have different flavors and textures than American candies do. I wanted to try them all. There wasn't just candies, though. There were also shelves with sauces, spices, dried pastas and more. There was also a small drink section and a frozen section with frozen foods available. The man said the store has been open since April. It wasn't very busy when I was there. I would love to see the store crowded with shoppers, if only to ensure that the store stays around for a long time so I can get my candy fix. The prices are very reasonable and the service is outstanding. The store is very clean and modern looking. The man spoke perfect English so we understood each other perfectly. I bought my first Dubai chocolate bar and it was wonderful. I'm going to have to stop by this store often. Please show this place some love.

    I stopped by Konark Grocers initially to try the food establishment, Desi Bites, inside the store…read more But with the 50 minute wait for my food, I decided to check out the grocery store to see what they had. They have a variety of prepared food, frozen food, fresh fish, fresh groceries, snacks, incense, spices, etc. I was not looking at the prices, since I was not actually shopping for anything, but this store looks fully stocked with lots of goodies. My boyfriend and I always have trouble finding good garlic but this place has got it! The next time we need fresh garlic we are coming here! There were a lot of people shopping in the fresh grocery section picking up vegetables. The locals know the secret of this place. I highly recommend stopping by for a visit, even if just to explore.

They don't realize that prices from suppliers probably change so often it doesn't make sense for the management to constantly change signs and labels to reflect what their suppliers charge. I'm an Indian as well from Chicago and to be honest Konark has great pricing that is more than fair. Plus there's a bonus food court area serving up some delicious Indian street food much like at Patel Brother's on Devon Avenue in Chicago. This place is great. Don't let these morons sway you from going here. The people that work there do their best and their passion shows. All their produce is fresh and great quality and once again their pricing is great compared to other places in the Des Moines area.
