Cool little grocery store in San Mateo. I found this via Too Good to Go but did walk around a…read morelittle bit before I picked up my bag. The snacks were past expiration date but they disclosed that in the description. The snacks were all really yummy though and they tasted fine since they were chocolate based mostly. They have a lot of international foods and ingredients here like saffron water, tahini, pierogies, etc. I don't cook a lot but can see myself picking up some ingredients here if I cooked more! The owner (?) seemed nice!

Check expiration Dates before you buy. I decided to give…read morethis store a try on too good to go app, I have purchased from different grocery stores on that app multiple times but this time tried this store. While waiting for the bag I was looking around they had a lot of recent expired from beginning of Oct, and some from Sept.items on shelves . (Which is what I thought I was maybe getting) The lady build the bag from items in the back . I examined the items in my car and they are expired over 2 years and others 1year. Which is crazy to me , that app does let you know you can get recently expired items but years ??? Crazy .

Suruki Supermarket is hands down my go-to spot for all things Japanese. They truly have all the…read moreessentials, and the quality is always on point. Their sashimi selection is incredibly fresh, beautifully cut, and perfectly packaged to-go. I'm a huge fan of their tuna--especially the otoro, chutoro, and akami--but you honestly can't go wrong with their salmon, uni, or any of their other fresh fish selections. Their hot food section is just as impressive and made fresh daily. Whether it's chicken teriyaki, beef teriyaki, salmon teriyaki, sushi bowls, nigiri, chicken karaage, or grilled salmon, everything hits the spot and tastes homemade. What really makes this place special is the family behind it. You'll almost always see Ken, Shu, Misako, or their mother Ryuko, and they make the whole experience feel welcoming and authentic. And if you're into whiskey or just a casual drinker, keep an eye out for their selection--they occasionally carry rare bottles like Yamazaki and Hakushu, which are getting harder to find these days. Overall, Suruki is a gem in San Mateo. Quality, freshness, and great people--what more can you ask for?

All sorts of cold and hot Japanese dishes,…read moreand our favorite is the grilled salmon or yellowtail collar for delicious & tender protein.

While passing through San Carlos, I realized I needed tahini and some other ingredients for dinner…read more After searching the area for Middle Eastern groceries, I discovered a shop that fell in that category and specialized in Turkish products. I was impressed: the location is clean, organized, has a great selection, and has fun Turkish music playing over the speakers. I was able to find kagit helvah, which is a wafer-like treat; I've been trying to find some for years, so I was pleased! They have a nice deli and refrigerated section, with tempting meats, cheeses, and pickles. I was able to find a variety of tahini. They also have a great selection of lokum (Turkish Delight), of which I purchased several flavors. Best of all, I sat down for a delicious serving of Turkish coffee. I had mine "az sekerli" (a little sugar), which was luxurious and a treat. I look forward to returning for baklava and simit. BTW. My visit was met with a friendly welcome, which was appreciated.

I love seeing people enjoy tea/coffee & treats outside the bazaar with friends and family. And finally we gave it a try! The people who work there are all SO friendly. They were so welcoming and the man (maybe the owner?) who helped us with the treats/tea was especially kind & helpful! We sat outside an enjoyed a Turkish delight, kataifi, and chocolate baklava with tea (we paid for a small and he gave us a large since he saw we were sharing)! Everything was so yummy and we will definitely be back and tell all of our friends! Also the produce and meat are decently priced so I'll be back to get those!

I ended up ordering the beef shawarma gyro plate with falafel, mujadar, and fried eggplant. My order was ready in less than 15 minutes. I felt I did a good job picking the items in my combo. The flavors of each item were really good. I especially enjoyed how the beef was seasoned though it was a bit on the dry side, but the included white sauce definitely helped moisten it up. Each of the sides had great flavors as well. Overall, the portion size and flavors were great for lunch. I probably could've saved half for another meal but ended up eating it all since it was so good. I definitely will come back to try more items on the menu!

My last visit involved a bottle of French hard Apple Cider and a tin of lemon candies. But there is so much more left to explore and consume in this store!

She looked at my cart, then said put them there pointing at table top next to the cash register, and turn her back and start looking at her phone. I did put my stuff and then she started scanning them. I paid, and left outside, I started to check the receipt, there is a KOLHARABI for $3.99, I thought that is the name for Turnip, it was very high, so I searched the name and it was something else. Anyway I went in and she was not pleasant, no smile, no sorrow, to make the story short, I got a refund, from $3.99 to $1.99. Employees like is are not good for business nor good to have contact with customers, first time I saw her and did not like. Teach her manners please.
