This spot has been a godsend for finding all the spices I need to keep my home kitchen stocked. For reference, here's just a small slice of what I regularly pick up from International Foods and Spices because I cook way too much pho, jerk chicken, lemongrass beef, and al pastor: Allspice Clove Cumin Annatto/Achiote Cinnamon (both cassia and regular) Coriander Various peppercorns Anise Star Anise Bay leaf Garam masala whole spice mix (and preground) Fenugreek (methi) Dried peppers Kashmiri chili powder ... and much much more! That's not even counting the staples like tahini, ghee, and various nuts, grains, dried beans, and other things. The only thing I'd say I wish they had more of was a better fresh herb selection. One quarter to half of the flavor in my cooking comes from fresh herbs, and if they had thai basil, mint, and other things like that regularly, it'd truly be a one stop shop for flavor. If you make flavorful food, International Food and Spices has got your back. And pick up a samosa and some saag while you're at it.

The grocery selection is adequate, but I'm making this review specifically for the pakora which was…read morevery tasty. Samosas are alright but I loved the pakora.

5/5 for an amazing selection that is quality…read more It has food from all Asian ethnicities, they have fresh seafood and regularly change over their packages of cuts of meat. They had discounted Moon Cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. They also have consistent pricing for chicken thighs, vegetables, regular sale pricing for Apples and oranges, etc. As for cleanliness concerns, I think when you go to an Asian Grocery store, you have to expect a sort of controlled chaos. I will say that it can be hard to social distance, but you know that coming here, everyone will be wearing a mask, multiple cashiers and customers will be wearing face shields, most people will be using gloves and everyone will be rushing to get in and out once they've loaded all the bags they can carry with everything they can to buy all at once. I come here for things like hot pot meats, seafood, chicken, beef, drumsticks, live crabs, different vegetables, soy sauce, etc. Tips/Takeaways: -Love this place for all my weekly grocery needs -Definitely great prices, quick staff, patrons all wear masks/gloves, would highly recommend!

Grape plums were something new to me, and I became addicted to them rather quickly. They taste just as their name depicts, a hybrid between a black grape and a red plum. The skin is thick and tart, just like a plum, while the inside resembles a black grape in taste while the texture is a bit chewy like the grapes used to make wine. I ate these almost every day while I was in town!

I've tried several things here since they opened. There's a lot to choose from, and now even some…read moreAmerican dishes for kids or less adventurous eaters. This time I chose the mango sticky rice. I've also had their dumplings, sushi, and something else-- I don't remember the name but it's a create your own situation that's actually fairly spicy. That one is right when you walk in, closest to the steps. The rest is pretty mild or allows you to choose your spice level. Somehow it is always clean here. They do a great job of that. I think they've improved the staffing as well. I went midweek and it was pretty busy, but the service wasn't slowed down at all. They had every station open too!

But I was definitely curious and my son who lives in Philadelphia sometimes shops here. It seemed massive to me, and there were so many things I had no idea what they were. The only thing I bought were several different types of cookies, which I liked a lot. They were made with mung beans! Something I'd like to point out is that the the ladies bathroom was absolutely filthy! Something disturbing I saw that I wished I could unsee was a large pair of tongs hung over the filthy wastepaper basket. All I could think of was a kitchen employee needed to use the bathroom, and placed the tongs there while she did her business. But was she going to wash those when she got back to the kitchen or just use them without washing? Such a gross, unsightly thing to see!

LOVE this place! It's family owned which I absolutely love supporting, plus they have everything I…read moreneed at a fairly good price, especially for imported goods. Great variety of foods from across Europe. I have family that's Russian/Polish and am able to find a lot of things I'm familiar with and know/love. Great variety of farmer cheese that I use for syrniki, along with vanilla sugar! :)) (& grechka, my beloved!) My one only teensy complaint, but some could view this as a positive, is that because it is food from ALL over Europe the percentage of Russian/Polish food is tiny. I notice mostly Bulgarian, Greek and a lot of southern European food. However, most of the time I am too lazy to go to NetCost or Petrovsky and Euro Market has what I need anyways and it's a better shopping experience. Tiny place but filled to the brim! My boyfriend likes the pre-made food/sandwiches. I would recommend you come here if you're looking for a lovely family owned European market with kind staff who truly love their shop!

Whenever H-Mart feels too far out of reach, this little gem is my go-to for my Asian grocery runs…read more I love there's a huge variety of goods that you can get from here, anything from fresh produce to seafood, shabu shabu meat slices to giant tubs of kimchi. The list is endless of the goods that you can find here, at prices that are better than many of its competitors. Of the numerous times that I've shopped there, I've only had to wait in line several times. For some reason, this place isn't as busy as the other Asian grocers in the region. I'm not complaining though. I love the convenience of being able to find a parking spot there anytime I want to shop, and I hope New Spring Market continues its business for many years to come.

I really enjoyed visiting S.mart! You can't go wrong with anything you buy here…read more I spent less than $20 and got a decent amount of stuff: Black Truffle Velvet Mashed Potato Pringles Ritz Crackers with Chocolate Matcha Chocolates Watermelon Konjac jelly pack Japanese Oreos Gift Box (not pictured) So far, I've had the Oreos, Matcha Chocolate and the Pringles. All were pretty solid! The Pringles remind me of something other than mashed potatoes but I can't put my finger on it. The Oreos are all different flavors and are slightly thinner than the Oreos sold here in the US. The flavor I tried was White Peach and Crystal Grape. Interesting combination to mix with chocolate but it was actually tasty. The matcha chocolate doesn't taste like chocolate. The matcha flavor is very strong and it tastes like you're biting into a block of matcha but with the consistency of chocolate. I wasn't helped by anyone besides the cashier so I can't speak too much on the staff but overall I was able to navigate the store without any questions. The store is a little tight especially when you're sharing the aisles with other people. My understanding is that the S.mart directly next door is owned by the same family and is a store specializing in skincare. They share the same name but sell different items. Great selection of international treats and a nice place for gifts, too!

Solid Asian food market in the South Philly area. I've come multiple times for Asian ingredients…read moreand have been able to find ~90% of what I've been looking for. It's frankly a bit run down and dimly lit, and definitely has the smell of an Asian market, that while it may be nostalgic for some, including me, it's probably not the preferred or ideal experience in the end. We packed up our stuff in a box available by the counters, and even that gave us the smell of the market on the way home. Staff are all Chinese-speaking, and thus it's probably hard to get help if you're not familiar and know what you're looking for. As a non-Chinese speaker, I personally am usually mostly in and out without much interaction with the staff beyond the personal at the checkstand. All that being said, this is well-stocked, and has what you're looking for if you know what you're looking for. Otherwise, probably best to visit elsewhere for a place that can offer more customer service, or just a more comfortable environment for shopping if you're not at home in Asian markets.
