I used to buy fish here but they have changed their packaging protocol. You no longer can see on what day the fish was packed. Before, you knew if it was packed that day, and was very fresh. The last time I shopped the fish only had a sell by and at home it had that cliche fishy taste that is not very fresh. I hope they change back. read more

Really great discount market. Superb whitefish salad - chunky not 'blended'. Cans of peeled garlic. Great prices. Outdoor and a tented are right on the water to hang out. Former fairway. read more

I went to Food Bazaar today 10/25/25. I had such a great experience at the supermarket thanks to Dorien! From the moment I needed help, Dorien went above and beyond with patience, professionalism, and genuine kindness. She didn't just point me in the right direction -- she personally made sure I found everything I needed, answered my questions, and did it all with a warm, friendly attitude that truly made my day. It's rare to find someone who takes pride in their work and genuinely cares about helping customers. Especially during this time as being a furloughed employee Dorien turned what could've been a stressful shopping trip into a pleasant and easy experience. Thank you, Dorien, for your exceptional service and positive energy -- you're a true example of what great customer care looks like! read more

I love this store so much! I work a few blocks up and I love coming in here b4 work to just browse around, pick up something for lunch or just a few things I cant get at my local Bensonhurst Key Food. They have a great deli in back with everything from Tacos to Sushi. A pretty solid Lobster Roll with cole slaw and a pickle for just 19.99 (a bargain compared to the famous place up Van Brunt) that you can take to their back deck with beautiful views of the river,Statue of Liberty and Verrazano bridge. They even have a few cornhole boards and in summer Saturdays they do outdoor cookouts. They have a great meat dept that i have bought a few kebabs that we have cooked out on our grill in office yard (Red Hook is the best),verey impressive fish dept and a wonderful collection of sauces and condiments that if I keep buying im gonna have to move to a bigger apt! Staff are all very friendly and self checkout is easy peasy. I wish they were near where i live! read more

This food market is excellent with full range of lovely produce, meats, fish etc. The market is spacious and very clean. The prices are reasonable for the most part. I purchased apples, carrots, potatoes fresh squeezed orange juice, bread, water just some minor items. read more

Best deals around! Food Bazaar has great food at great prices. Inflation is a big problem - the price of a half gallon milk reached 8$ in my neighborhood. The prices are shockingly high. Every time I look at the receipt, I cannot believe it. I started shopping around. At first I tried Wegmans. Then I tried Fairway. And several other grocery chains. Finally, I went to Food Bazaar. When they have a sale, it's a real sale. This week, I scored whipped cream for 2$ - other places charge double that. Milk was under 7$ - nice selection of brands too. Everything was fresh. So far, so good ! Love Food Bazaar. * A nice bonus - the Red Hook location is near the water- great views on the other side of the parking lot. read more

If I did not know better, I'd think I was stepping into Fairway. This used to be Fairway and the last time i visited the Red Hook location was 2009. It seems nothing has changed in terms of layout. Massive supermarket with much to offer and some of the prices reflect that. They're either standard or a bit pricey. Huge butcher department, fresh fish section, cheese, coffee, bottled oils and vinegar and produce. I caught glimpse of some good deals. It seems that the cafe is closed. Whether due to the pandemic or not, I don't know. When it was Fairway and I happened to pay a visit, I'd take my lunch outside. The view was lovely, facing the water. I picked up a few essentials and felt as though I stepped back in time. I liked what I saw, but since I do not live in the area, it won't be my go to place to shop. read more

Who would think to look for lobster rolls in Food Bazaar?! This supermarket in Red Hook has them for only $18 and they're delicious! It also has a really nice outdoor eating area with great views! Love the super cool, historic building it's located in. Wide selection of everything. Super clean and organized. read more

It was our tradition come to Fairway for their $9.99 lobster rolls and bagels. It was a great place to get a snack when riding our bikes around red Hook. Let's just say the price was right. Thankfully, Food bazaar has lobster rolls! They upped the price 3 bucks, but that's still pretty damn good. And they taste the same which is great! Upon touring the grocery store, I noticed they no longer have some of the gourmet sections, but most choices and the prices seem comparable. Some prices are pretty high, similar to how Fairway used to be. read more

I made a trip to Food Bazaar to buy goods for a birthday party. The store has a large parking lot, and it is accessible by bus. I had a long list of items and I was able to find all but one. My first item was Italian Parsley. It looked good and was fairly priced at $1.50 a bunch. Fresh Mozzarella at $6.99/lb was also a fair price. I ordered six Rib Eye Steaks and had them custom cut, at $15.99/lb. I ordered domestic Prosciutto and it was reasonable at 19.99/lb. Faroe Island Salmon at $21.99/lb was very reasonable as well. I purchased a container of pitted Kalamata Olives too. I went home and I cooked everything. While everything was fairly priced, it was not top quality. The Olives were delicious, but the Mozzarella was a bit hard. The Prosciutto wasn't the best I've tasted, and the Steaks had a bit too much fat. Check out was very quick however. read more

A maze of food and spices. Friendly workers, and great selection of anything imaginable. Beautiful location too.

This review is more of the differences between Food Bazaar and Fairway (former market in location). Food Bazaar seems more organized than Fairway was, especially at the end of its existence in Red Hook. In terms of groceries, Food Bazaar offers a winder selection of international foods, especially Latino and Asian. While the meat selection is greater at Food Bazaar, there are fewer organic and natural meat selections. This is also the case for produce - more options in general, but fewer organic options. One thing that is disappointing is that they use so much styrofoam and plastic wrap. With Fairway, there were more loose produce, and the meat and seafood was wrapped in paper and a plastic bag. At Food Bazaar, the seafood, meat, and many veggies are on styrofoam dishes wrapped in plastic. The bakery is far inferior to Fairway's also. The baguettes and bagels just don't taste as good. And the bags on the whole wheat baguettes always break open! The cafe is back open, and the omelettes are as delicious as always (same cooks preparing the food for years). read more

This used to be a Fairway and to my surprise it's been replaced with Food Bazaar. The whole vibe change. The employees were rude. The items in the store look dusty and the large olive oil section was gone. Barely any sales. I ended up with a few over price items. read more

This place sucks. It's chaotically laid out. it's hard to find a staff person, and when you do you get the feeling they're doing a favor by helping you. They have some fancy holiday bags and they charge you $1.62 for them. I've heard of charging $.10 for a bag, I've heard of charging $0.25. This is the first time I've seen a bag that cost $1.62. We know you're in business to make a profit but give us a fucking break. and then after you pay for the bag the cashier just stands there and watches as you load it up. not recommended. read more

Came yesterday to shop. I was happy the top end quality of Fairway for this location was upheld and even improved on. The food bazaar by us in Bushwick is great, especially the fish section. So if this location can bring that Latin flavor with a top end touch it should be a huge asset to this community. And Please management, I beg you!!!! Make full use of that water front yard!!! Some good Latin flavor grill could be a huge plus for this location. Thank you for keeping the cafe n hot food as well! Wish you all the best of success. That water front with its sunset by the Statue of Liberty, Every evening has to be one of the best views on the Eastern Seaboard no hands down, please make full use of it! read more

Today December 24, 2023 I went to buy wild shrimp, so I bought 1.5 pounds of it. When I got home and washed it thoroughly however after I cooked it immediately I felt the sand in it, was disgusting. I washed it all over again and I felt the sand one more time, I throw it away. I wonder why the price per pound was very low, around 8.99 because it was wild. Please don't go to this supermarket, it changed a lot for the worst, they committing fraud all the time. read more

Very nice grocery store. Shopping in Brooklyn New York is very different from shopping near my home in Rhode Island. They carry so many organic foods and specialty foods and ethnic foods that it is really fun to walk around and see what they have. The store is just chock-full and there is not an empty space. You could have your coffee ground here or buy any kind of organic produce and get fresh made bagels. They also have a café which is one of my favorite places to go get breakfast. What are your food which is made to order and get yourself some coffee and go out to the newly remodeled eating area and have your breakfast looking out at the Statue of Liberty. read more

Love their rotisserie chickens. They have Latin, herb and other flavors. All for $9. Plentiful selection of goods. Great place to stop by for lunch and grab groceries. They have a food station in the back. More importantly I found my Tony Chocolonely's here. They make some of the best chocolate. Cheers to great selection at your supermarket! read more

This location is impressive! Reminiscences of Cape Cod or Martha's Vineyard . The food is exceptional. The service is always great. The bar and grill are open. Great place to come and enjoy your summer. Good food good people, great bears also available! read more

It's OK. I like Fairway better, and miss it! Fairway had a better selection, especially of their prepared foods - we miss the heros (meatball parm, chicken parm, chix salad etc) produce section seems a lot emptier as well: ex) the entire section of pre-package lettuce mixes was more or less empty minus a few stragglers, the other night. Also, I loved Fairway's mobile check out! It was so cool! You'd just hold yourself iPhone up to the barcode as you went along putting the stuff in your cart & even right into your reusable bags! At the special check out lane, all your would do is scan the code there, the payment is completed with your preferred method on file, and your walk out!! At the onset of Covid, the lines were swirling throughout the store, and I'd just throw my items in my cart, scan and walk out! Ha! It was so cool! Anyway, yeah, I miss Fairway! read more

I thought I was really going to miss the Fairway in this location. Food Bazaar has been decent with their selection and prices. They also kept some of the same items I normally come here for when it was the old Fairway. What holds me back from making this place my weekly go to is the poor returns on their loyalty program. Food Bazaar gives you $10 off after you spend $1000 with them that is being tracked by their app. I miss the days of the $10 coupons when you spend $50 at Fairway. But I will continue to support this location for some of my monthly basics. read more

3 stars is generous. I miss fairway more and more after every time i step foot in here. Produce is truly horrible - apples tastes like sand, berries are always moldy, produce goes bad literally by the next day or by the time i walk home. Truly a waste. read more

Can't believe I've lived this close without coming by this way yet. The selection was great; I got everything on my list, even though we originally popped in to grab a few things. I'm reviewing mostly to shout out Robert in the cheeses section. He was behind the corner, spotted us staring like lost puppies at the cheese, and offered his help. He specifically asked what we're making. We answered, "Mac and cheese," and he was like, "Say no more." He walked us over to the perfect cheeses and even introduced us to one we hadn't added to our baked mac and cheese before, but we're very excited about it. Best customer service; he's super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Well done! read more

I was a longtime fairway shopper, and a bit worried that Food Bazaar wouldn't live up to it. They've done a great job so far. They are making many improvements, like resurfacing the parking lot, adding new carts and registers, etc, which seems to show that the new owners are invested in the location. The shelves look fuller than they have in a while, and variety has kept too. No olive oil samples, but I think we can do just fine without. I'm glad that a good market will continue in this space, and will keep making my weekly trip. read more

Richie the master roaster is still roasting. There was a Brooklyn Java special today with Tanzanian Peaberry (my favorite) and Sumatra (Richie's favorite,) added to Italian Roast Colombian beans. Smooth as silk with great flavors. The coffee alone is worth the trip to the market. This is still a go to market but: FB maintained a wide variety of produce a la Fairway, but with lower prices and lower quality. For example the pineapple is only $2.99 each fresh. I have bought twice and they have been Woody and tasteless even after letting them sit. It used to cost two dollars more each but each pineapple was always good. The cheese selection and deli counter are still excellent. They are reorganizing the store using polished and somewhat slippery cement everywhere. I'm not happy about the angles in the vegetable area. It makes a longer walk to get to something you want and you feel like you're going backwards all the time too. The moving of the fish department well it has taken up much more space than number of products is actually decreased especially whole fresh fish. They were only as selection of five today. And the cloudy eyes of the striped sea bass says they've been hanging around too long. There is not a separate organics area anymore, they have missed each product in with its own similar products so you have to search the store to find them. I'm sure they were making a bigger profit on organics before when it was grouped, but I don't have access to run numbers. Very glad they got back the old baker and are producing their own in-store goods again, much better than the ones they were bringing in during the period they weren't baking, especially the bagels. Miss the old cashiers though. Still great parking and less crowded than almost any other supermarket in the city, making it better during covid. Please re-up the produce quality. read more

Coming to this Fairway location used to be a highlight of my day. I'd ride out after a long day of writing / processing emails and it was a little bit of heaven to relax w/a scone, a tea and the beautiful harbor view. And maybe pick from the treats in this once special grocery store. But no more. I just stopped in to the "new" Food Bazaar (at 9am on a Sunday AM) and there's very few baked goods to be found--perhaps a little unusual on a morning like this. So I asked: What's coming out of the oven? I got "Muffins - in 30 minutes." However, it wasn't said: Hey, we're working on it. The message was delivered similar to a certain unpleasant expression which means: "Get lost!" So I will! after a decade of coming here regularly, I won't come back. Who needs to be insulted when being served?! read more

They have kept a lot of the Fairway selection that I liked and pricing seems comparable (meaning not cheap but sale pricing is good). I often find good cuts of beef on sale for good prices and there's always at least 1 brand of sparkling water on sale. Be wary at checkout. It's not unusual for sale items to not ring up the sale prices. I think they kept the Fairway employees but I wish they would train them to act more professionally. There's always a few employees hanging out at the entrance smoking and cursing up a storm! read more

I went today for the first time and one would be hard pressed to tell it was no longer Fairway, except now the shelves are stocked again. It's been refreshed to a point but everything is mostly still in the same place. I'd read where they were beginning to move things around but I could hardly see where. The one department I was disappointed in though was the butcher. Where they used to have USDA prime beef it is now "Angus" beef, and it just did not look good. Angus is NOT prime and in fact it showed no fat at all in the cuts and that's where the flavor is. I skipped it entirely. I'll have to find a prime butcher somewhere else. If I'm going to eat beef it may as well be prime for the little I have it. I'll be back for everything else though. I hope they don't change too much, except to bring back the good beef. read more

Absolutely my favorite supermarket. I don't live in the immediate neighborhood, but it only takes me about ten or fifteen minutes to get to Food Bazaar by bike. They've got everything I could possible want, and more. Including my favorite coffee. And where else can you find El Yucateco achiote paste? Nowhwere, that's where (now, if they had the sauce...) And their prices are as good or better than more mundane supermarkets like the Key Food in my neighborhood. My only gripe is that they don't seem to carry Manhattan Special coffee soda. Fairway did, but I guess Food Bazaar doesn't. Who knows why. I wish they did. But it's still my favorite supermarket. Who needs Whole Foods? Not me. read more

The selection here is amazing, and the prices provide excellent value. When they have items on sale, it's a really good sale. The meat department is outstanding - if you want prime aged beef they have it. No need to go to specialty shops or international shops - they have a huge selection. Produce, seafood, coffee, all good. I wish more people would come check it out. read more

I have given this place so many chances, and for me it doesn't get any better. Something is always off. I bought chocolate fudge and whipped cream to make sundaes, and when I opened the chocolate fudge it had mold. When I opened the whipped cream it tasted sour. I always wonder if the store is too big for the amount of volume/sales they get. read more

It's really sad and depressing to see what happened to this place. Unfortunately this once crown jewel location of Fairway is no more. Initially after Fairway left, food bazaar simply took it over and kept the place nearly exactly the same which was awesome. However, I stopped in there recently and after observing that there was barely a customer there, it became painfully obvious as to why. For starters, the (formerly glorious) food court had only minimal food options and none of them looked edible, in fact they had the appearance of food served in hospital commissary or school cafeteria. Not even close to the quality and variety of what was previously offered. It's shameful that the new management has the audacity to serve lukewarm soup, dried out mac & cheese and a few other pathetic sorry looking dishes. Additionally the back patio on the water facing the harbor is now unkempt and derelict which is a real shame. The current management obviously does not realize that this was the reason so many people came here to shop including myself. The once incredible pizza has been replaced with what can only be described as mall quality pizza and the sushi counter is nearly as pathetic. While the former staff took pride in what they did, the current staff seems indifferent and appear to be there just there to collect a paycheck. The expression "all good things come to an end" has never been more prevalent. The store appears to be currently being renovated and converted into a bargain basement supermarket which may have some appeal to local residents seeking low cost options. If you were a patron of the former Fairway that used to occupy this location, this place will definitely not be for you. Best to check out Wegman's or the nearest Whole Foods market. All the charm and appeal that this place once had is slowly being stripped away by new management who likely think they know better. However on a positive note, the place was clean plus the overall pricing seemed affordable and generally this may be a somewhat viable option for the local population as there are no other decent supermarkets nearby. All in all this is not the destination it once was and I question whether their new strictly budget conscious business model is sustainable. I really do not not see this place lasting more than a year or so but hope to be proven wrong. While we mourn the demise of Fairway, we ought to wish the best for this "food bazaar" before they too fade into history. read more
