The older I get the more I appreciate big and quality supermarkets. I went with my friend who was doing the actual shopping and I still wind up spending $80 on food I had no intentions of buying. We arrived around 8PM and it was still a more crowded than I anticipated. The supermarket closed around 10 or 10:30PM on a Sunday which was late. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the store. I loved the large selection of different items including ethnic products in each aisle. I remember walking through the bread aisle and seeing breads from different countries and islands. The staff were friendly and helpful. They have a nice sized seafood area that my friend spent a lot of $ in. Lol I didn't order any of sandwiches that I read about on YELP because I really had no intentions of shopping. Lol. $80 later I had a full cart of stuff!. Prices seemed reasonable and fair. If you're going to check this supermarket out, make sure you have extra money because you will find something extra that's not on your shopping list. read more

Everytime I'm here I typically go to the deli and I recently realized they've been overcharging me by two dollars every trip at this point I've overpaid about $10 So pretty much they have their premade sandwiches for the day. I usually get a honey turkey and cheese sandwich. I don't add anything else on it just oil and vinegar. The sandwiches that are in the plastic or 599 mind you the exact same bread and the exact same sandwich just minus all the condiments and lettuce. Why am I getting charged $7.99 and those are $5.99? I didn't realize until I started seeing my charges on my account and I knew that that was not the amount that I was supposed to pay. I brought it up both of the manager of the deli, as well and tried to talk to the store manager, but apparently that person wasn't available. I think the only good thing I could say about this particular grocery store is a gentleman at the deli is extremely nice. They need to refund my last two purchases but they don't seem even willing to listen to what I was saying. On top of that they put mayonnaise on it even though I told them don't put anything on it cause I'm allergic. read more

My first time here shopping lots of fresh fruits. The prices were reasonable for a supermarket but not when your used to shopping at whole sales. I came here for fruits and vegetables the pomegranates were huge for 3$ so pretty sweet deal considering the freshness and size. The main thing I came here for is oxtails and I got some fresh ones and some frozen ones. The frozen ones were about 1$ less. After trying them both I didn't notice a difference in taste however frozen ones just took longer to defrost. I would definitely recommend this place for meats as they are very fresh. The fruits as well. The lines were definitely long but if you're with two people I would recommend splitting your items and going to the express line 15 times and under. read more

Although I can get more bang for my buck @ Aldis on 149th 3rd Avenue, sometimes everything on my shopping list isn't in stock. I can always rely on Food Bazaar. It's a larger store that opens very early 7 am. and closes later to 10pm than other supermarkets in the neighborhood. The cashiers are very courteous and process my orders with speed and accuracy. Since last year, there have been more male workers who are often seen congregating near the front entrance with the security guard at the bag check area. A few days ago one of them flirted with my transgender friend and seemed upset when another worker told him that's a man in their language The guy was fuming shouting we don't want you here but my friend kept strutting. The workers shouldn't be trying to holler at the customers read more

I love this supermarket, everything I need is here. The staff is nice and my dog is welcome too.

A quality supermarket with a abundant selection of quality brand names. This supermarket is located in Concourse Village nearby Bronx County Courthouse and easily accessibly by B, D trains at 161st Street Yankee Stadium station. Priced steep. Aisle are wide with standard supermarket aisle marker signage are clear. Decent selection of ethnic food. Staff speaks rudimentary English but appears fluent in Spanish. Good produce, meat, seafood selection but poor fruit selection. Checkout queues are abundant separated with express lanes for ten items or less and regular lanes. Facilities are available on site. Sales circulars are minimal available. read more

Food Bazaar Supermarket - Grocery Near Me - Bronx, New York

I'm an older woman with a tight budget, their prices are a bit much. The deli slices the cold cuts as thick as steak. The girls at the counters are helpful and friendly but the security seem a bit selective on who they watch. Produce and dairy are fine on a good day. The store is kept clean and easy to locate whatever you're looking for read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid with my mom. I just felt I needed to respond to something someone else said about security discriminating against who can take their bags in. Security isn't taking purses from people. They will take book bags. And I've hand times they ask for my bag and times they don't. It's usually at their discretion. read more

I hate this food bazaar today I went to the store to get some watermelon and I happen to notice that the strawberries were disgusting molded and it was a lot of them and I told the produce employees like they didn't even give a shit they need to seriously get new management in this place this is a health hazard this is truly disgusting to see fresh produce my ass!!! Disgusting food bazar get your shit together like forreal I wish I could give -1,000 stars read more

Security discriminate who gets to keep their bags in the super market (I.e. middle age white women) and who doesn't (take a guess).

When buying red meat, be careful. I have twice noticed steaks, which were a nice red color, but when removing the steak from its white Styrofoam tray, the opposite side of the steak was brown in color. What this says is that Food Bazar is occasionally removing older steaks, and turning the steaks over, so the red underside is now facing upwards, then rewrapping the steak to be seen by a consumer; appearing to be fresh. I recall supermarkets using clear plastic trays and saran wrap. You could turn the meat over and see the underside coloration of your selection. Again, be careful when buying your meats (at least your steaks) from this Food Bazar location! If you find this happens to you, call the Health Department so that this practice is investigated!!! read more

They don't have delivery service so the disabled can not shop there. Other Markets have delivery service. In Manhattan some do it just for the disabled. Thank god Freshdirect.com came to the Bronx read more

This is a pan-Latin American grocery store with a lot of Jamaican food too. But it's not your dingy corner shop selling weird roots-- no this place is HUGE HUGE HUGE, and filled with tons of hard to find fresh vegetables, a great meats department with a walk in refrigerated section. It's very clean and the prices are reasonable. And all kinds of brand names from every country south of the US. There is a whole section for food from Peru, Columbia, Mexico, the Dominican Republic ... and so much more. You can also get soda in a return bottle, the kind I had in Ohio when I was a little kid. A real treat. Even though I don't know much about Mexican or Dominican food the wide section and high quality fresh tortillas have inspired me to learn. Just don't go on Saturday, it's way too packed then! Go on a weekday. read more

As a Community Board member who voted for this Market to come into this area of great need, they are barely meeting it. There is a recent occurance of 4 self service registers not working at any time. This is not good customer service and all should be repaired in a timely manner. But they are not repaired and are still not functioning. There was another recent occurance where I was standing at such self checkout register and A HOMELESS WOMAN SOLICITED ME FOR MONEY WHILE THE GUARD WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE LEANING AGAIN ST COUNTER. . I would like it if security were more pro active and not allow homeless in the supermarket just to ask for money or solicit for any reason. I was trying to concentrate and pay for my "Groceries and not be harrassed or asked by homeless for money . It is a distraction that shoppers should not have to deal with, along with Self-service registers not working at the same time. This is not good customer service. read more

Food Bazaar Supermarket - On line. - Grocery Near Me - Bronx, New York

They are so nasty and disrespectful...don't wanna do their jobs and they take their resentment for being there out on the customers...the manager is absolutely useless and the supervisor is nasty as hell.. i gave 1 star only because i couldn't leave it blank read more

This supermarket is not the best but not the worst either. Whatever my local supermarket doesn't have, I just come to this one instead and find what I need. I mostly come here just to get the Nestle Flan de Leche that they usually have limited supplies of and can't get anywhere else. Otherwise, they have a large variety of Caribbean and Asian food which is always convenient. read more

DON'T BUY THE MEAT HERE! I buy some of my produce here and most other items. They have most things you would need and it caters well to the diverse backgrounds and needs of our community. I'm a loyal customer given I live a block away but the meat is seriously concerning. Bought chicken here a couple months ago and it was rotten. Bought ground turkey this week, and it was rotten. I mean you can also smell the poor quality of the meat when you're in the store. Lesson learned. The lines are also out of control. With that said, the staff is super friendly and helpful. Just had a conversation with the manager and he took my feedback serious, said he's going to speak with the members of the meat dept. and asked me to introduce myself next time I'm in the store. Demand more! This sort of thing would be unacceptable in other communities! We deserve better! Why must all things be sub-optimal in the Bronx (including the supermarket options)?!?! This is amazing borough and its ppl deserve better and affordable options. Poor standards like these are what make us the unhealthiest county in the state. I'm not kidding! We're the 62nd in health out of 62 counties in NY. Demand more! If you see something tell some one. They may not even know and if enough of us speak up, they'll listen. read more

I walked in looking for some last minute things mom HAD to get on the way home. I had not ever been in this place and was nicely surprised. The prices are pre gentrification which has killed the Western Beef closer to her. The produce was fresh. They had some Asian offerings, and a good seafood section with better pricing than the shop closer to grams. The aisles were FULL, of stuff and people. But they had some guy that asked people to clear the way. That was refreshing. The cashier was loud and a tad unprofessional but very friendly and patient, we didn't know seafood needed to be priced at the back. Overall this place is a great option, with solid offerings and pricing that should be supported! they give seniors and NYC ID carriers a discount! read more

This is my neighborhood grocery store. For a Food Bizaar that's in the south Bronx it's actully pretty decent. The lines are always super long but, they also always have a sufficent amount of registers open so your wait is never crazy. The place is a fairly good size and they have mostly anything you would look for (especially pan american and latino foods). The only real quams I have with this place is that it could stand to be a little cleanlier and the customer service could be a lot better. There's hardly ever anyone around in the aisles for you to ask for help and when you do find someone they either can't help you or act like it kills them to do so. Other than it's a good supermarket and a stable of the community. read more

A poor rendition of Fairway, with undercooked and over salty rotisserie chickens. Three weeks in a row we tried the rotisserie chickens..which looked promisingly like Fairway rotisserie chickens. They coat them with something which blackens quickly, giving the chicken the appearance of a nicely roasted chicken. But all three times the dark meat was PINK. DARK PINK, and to me it seemed dangerously (and grossly) undercooked. I had to continue cooking the dark meat myself at home. Also, they either inject the chicken or steep it first in something very salty.. it's pretty gross all around. read more

I've recently moved here from California... and this was the ONLY Grocery store that reminded me of the Grocery Stores in California... It's so, much bigger than the local "bodega's"... which you can grow easily so, tired of!!!!... lol... I can pretty much find everything here... except for my "HALIBUT"... which is ok... compared to everything else, I do find!!! I love this Grocery Store!!!! And; will recommend everyone to shop here!!!! Thank You, Sweepea =) read more

I never can shop without the system having all appropriate sale prices. I ask a question in English and get a response in Spanish which means they understand English. When I question a price the show me the item as if I'm the one with the comprehension problem. When I tear down the sale flyer and bring it to the register that's a problem too. If I'm in a grocery store in NY why can't I as the citizen get basic service in the language of this land that is minimally worth the minimum wage they're paid! read more

I'm a regular customer here. I like it because it's cheaper than Foodtown and convenient when I don't have time to go to trader Joe's. My complaint would be the lines take FOREVER during busy times. Even the express lanes are backed up. If I see that I usually walk back out. read more

Here are some reasons to avoid this place: 1. The freezer leaks gross, syrupy stuff onto the frozen food packages 2. The lines are way too long. If you get there after 9am, don't plan on checking out any time soon! (Sometimes they have only 2 cashiers for about 15 people!) 3. The managers are not receptive to feedback. 4. If you try to register feedback on Food Bazaar's website, all you get is an error Have to ask yourself, is it really worth it to shop here? Many a time, I've walked in and after about 2 minutes, had to walk right back out again! read more

i buy at food bazaar but I saw that they are selling Reynolds foils and Pactiv forks.

great place to shop great deals food is fresh only problem i have is that you can't catch a cab in that area I had brought $600.00 or more in groceries and it took me about two hours to catch a cab me and my husband went all around trying to find one also called taxi services near by the supermarket and no one would come get us smdh read more

Good supermarket. Has lots of international things. Only thing I wish they had more organic options of dairy products.

If and when the Zombie Apocalypse hits and this this Food Bazaar at East 161st Street near Yankee Stadium in the Bronx turns out to be the last place in New York to get food, then go there. Otherwise, avoid this place like the plague upon humanity it has become. I got home from there about an hour ago for the first time in many months, and went directly to my laptop to warn unsuspecting innocents against it. This was once my regular market owing to the large variety of Latin American, Caribbean and Asian products it carries, and because it has a generally deceit selection of (mostly) fresh fish. That is still largely the case. Now, however, it is over-run by inconsiderate shoppers who think nothing of blocking the isles with their carts as they browse the shelves at leisure, many with astonishingly badly behaved children in tow whose running, screaming, whining and otherwise disruptive behavior are evidently taken as quite normal, and evidently is enabled and coddled by what I will not hesitate to call bad parenting. And before the usual suspects of non-judgmental, tolerant, family-friendly, progressive, advocates of "shared spaces" et. al. enablers of anti-social activities get too self-righteously indignant at these remarks, please note that while I could care less about other people's choices, how those choices impact others indeed gives those others -- me in this case -- cause to note and comment upon them; "shared spaces" by definition entails all of us who share them to a voice in assessing them. Furthermore, this location is now badly run. The place was packed while no less than half the checkout lines were closed, resulting in outrageously long lines and waits. The below-ground parking system is now a huge mess, requiring that those of us with a validated parking ticket to line up at the exits from the garage, go into a two-person office, have those tickets run through a machine, get back into our cars, and then exit the garage by inserting said ticket into a reader that lifts the arm that allows us to drive out. This would be funny on a comedy skit but is an absurd way to run a business. I don't know why what was once a reasonable place to shop here in the South Bronx became this purgatory of rudeness, lack of consideration and stupefying irresponsible adults but avoid it at all cost. read more

I shopped at the 238 East 161st St store on 2/2/19. NEVER shop at Food Bazaar the 1st and 2nd days of the month. It is extremely crowded (mobbed) with people who have received their SNAP, Social Security and other checks/payments. WATCH YOUR BELONGINGS! I had a lovely purple Hurricane in my shopping cart. I was so preoccupied with shopping that I had not realized when my cane was missing. My cane was STOLEN OUT OF MY CART! I was shocked! I reported it to the store personnel. However, since I could not pinpoint the time or aisle I was in when the theft occurred, they could not help me. This was a lesson learned. Be careful shopping there at ANY time, especially when it is crowded. On a positive note, the food and other items are good. The store is well stocked and the prices are reasonable as far as food items go. Not sure about free parking. You will have to check that out. At this time, I can only give 2 stars based on my experience that day. I have shopped there before and my experiences were favorable and I have given a 4-5 stars rating. Remember -- DO NOT SHOP AT FOOD BAZAAR THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH! read more

Has variety, but costly. Customer service is the worst I have seen. Long lines for billing. I will not return to this shop again. Most of the staff are not helpful. I will not buy again from here. It is good if you are buying loads of amount of things. For weekly shopping it's not worthy. read more
