I needed some spices for an Indian dish I was making, so I visited this market to find the items I could not find at my usual grocery store. I was able to find the spices I needed, but the market is a bit rundown and overpriced. When checked out one of the spices was incorrectly marked, it was nearly $10 more than the price listed on the shelf. This market may have what you need as far as specialty items, but it's definitely not my first choice for buying groceries or cooking items. read more

This is kind of a typical messy, bit dirty, and pretty disorganized ethnical grocer. It seems that when these stores have a fresh meat section, then they have an issue with overall store cleanliness. Bingo for JD's Market. So, this place is as expected and normal for ethnical grocers, and I have to give that three stars instead of two stars. They do have many hard to find items, and they they have arabic, Indian, Pakistani, and latino items. There are some better stores, but this one has a good selection in the Lynwood area. It's okay, and I would look here for hard to find items. read more

This place is pretty cold on the inside and I always regret not dressing warmer to shop here, but they do have some unusual things inside that I don't know how to find anywhere else locally. There's lots of parking out front, and always a ton of people coming and going. You might have to wait in line a bit to check out, but I always have a good time browsing. I recently scored some 25 cent per lb broccoli displayed in the area at the front of the store. My favorite things to buy have been the prepackaged pre made meals that are stored in the back of the store. These are pretty cheap and make great work lunches. I also enjoy checking out the dried beans, the seasonings and the frozen foods. Besides being cold, I often struggle to figure out what the price is of items being displayed. I have had multiple occasions where items have sale stickers on them, but then are not rung up properly when you check out. read more

This place has some of the best goat and lamb like the best in the area. You can find a lot of Indian and middle eastern groceries has a great selection. The only reason I took one star away is because they aren't always great with the service the workers provide in helping you find stuff. read more

Nice clean new site. I came for spices (they have an entire aisle of packaged spices) and pickling cucumbers. They had exactly what I needed and more. Great store and people, I'll be back. New address from what Yelp currently has. 4309 198th St SW, Lynnwood read more

The best Pak & Ind grocery store in the area. Anyone want to shop anything which you are missing here from back home this is the store. Place is Fantastic. Only place for my grocery shopping. Their prices are very fair. Don't look for presentation look for the quality food you will never be disappointed. They have fresh fruits and vegetables, lot of verity of fruits and vegetables. It's the variety that makes this shop different than others. They also have a selection of dried chiles, prepared frozen microwave Indian Pakistani meals, Injeer and deserts. Also a good place to buy if you're feeling adventurous. Fresh tumeric, coconut, lemongrass or banana flower. Owners are very nice they care for their customers and their needs. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

JD's Market - Best Meet. - International Grocery Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

12-16-21 A bit frusterated. I normally pop on in for my fave snacks, but its hit or miss if its there. Today, there was some GREAT deals on fresh veggies in the bins outside. I went inside and 90% of the store items were UNPRICED!!!??? The cold cheese display, so much good stuff, but unpriced :/ oil isle, nothing priced, but alot of choices. Theres alot of choices of the same items but different brands, how do you choose without knowing how much? Im not familiar with the best quality brandnames, so... or even what to experiment trying? In the past ive just asked and ive gotten a not so friendly help. So ive learned to only ask if absolutely necessary. Personally theres alot of stuff i would like to try, but its not worth bothering them to me. Ok take what i write witha grain of salt because mayyyybe, idk, why nothing has shelf tags, no price stickers, maybe theyre revamping the tag system, one can hope. And mayyybe they dont care bc i think JD might be gone soon bc of the light rail, so theres also that could be a reason for this weird anomoly... Theres another India grocery store on 196 and 99, huge, called GoGo market. Ill try my luck up there for my snacks. But nevertheless, if your looking for some great deals on fresh veggies, pop by, the pallets up front you can find some good stuff sometimes. read more

Went looking for bulk foods. They have bulk baking goods. While I was there, they were caught adding prices to customers because "times are tough". All my produce went moldy in 3 days. Nuts were WAY overpriced. I wouldn't recommend unless you're looking for a specialty Mediterranean item or 50lb bags of rice. read more

Great place to get fresh goat meat. They have prepacked options and also a butcher in-house to take a custom order

I'm always on the lookout for places to buy good, reasonably priced produce. Last weekend, I was across the street from JD's and realized I had never been there. Upon arrival, there is a large section of produce outside the store - onions, melons, tomatoes, whatever is in season. Before I even entered the store, I had picked up two and a half pounds of pears, two pounds of apples, and 4 mangoes. I was already pleased with my purchases before I entered the store. When I went in, I realized there was a lot more to this store than I thought. It's a grocery store with meat, dried goods, housewares, and more! The spice selection is impressive with many varieties of curries, dried peppers, chili powders. In addition to the produce outside, there's a section inside. They've got dragonfruit, Hawaiian purple yams (what, what?), mandarines, and the usual produce you'd expect to find. As far as soft drinks, I found King Car lemon iced tea and Vimto. Winning! With just a few cashiers running, checking out can take awhile but you can grab a few Mexican pastries or baklava from the case. I got two bags of groceries and paid $8.81. Yep, under $10! Be sure it's a leisurely visit on the weekends because it can get busy, the aisles are narrow, and the check out lines can be slow. read more

It's a grubby building in a fairly grubby location, but the amount of stuff they stock here--stuff you can't get elsewhere, or at least not many elsewheres--is impressive without a doubt. They have a humongous array of produce bins out front, and their prices are amazing. That's what draws you in. They're on the intersection of two big busy streets up here, and even from the road you can clearly see the bright colorful mountains of fruits and vegetables. When you get up close, you can see that the prices are spectacular. Inside, there's shelf after shelf of crazy spices for all kinds of Asian cooking (east Asian, south Asian, middle eastern...) and Latin as well. Some African stuff too. All those ingredients that seem tough to find at virtually every mainstream American grocery store (which is what we have up here) seems to be here, and the prices are really, really good. The produce could be from anywhere, with any amount of pesticides, etc. They're decidedly not courting the organic shopper. But that's alright. For the dry goods and packaged goods (even the candy), you just can't beat this place. read more

Yesterday was my first visit to this place. I heard about this place from a friend in the past but I hardly go to Lynnwood but since I was in the area yesterday, I decided to stop by. They have great selection of fruits with good prices. They also have some of the best Mangoes that I have ever seen selling in boxes with good prices too. One of the best items that I noticed is having a fresh Halal Meat Department with a Butcher there. They have fresh meats such as beef, veal, lamb, goat and chicken. The place sees to be very crowded with items and not as organized as Goodies but it was a good store. They have the edge of having more fruits selections than Goodies and most of all, they have the Fresh Meat. I will be back for the Meat and fruites but for the rest of the supplies such as pita bread and cheeses, I am sticking with Goodies. read more

Best produce stand ever. Love the surprise sale items. I'm a walking commercial for this place. Last time I was there, I dropped my phone in the parking lot and one of the employees found and kept it for me. What a relief. Love, love, love JD's Market! read more

Good market but they don't answer their phone at all Sometimes they are out of product so when we want to find out if the products is in or not we call but they don't answer their phone. It will be easy if they do so we don't drive far away then when we get there the product we need is out. read more

very bad dealing with people. they never put prices on the food . then when you ask they give that mad face with ignoring you and say "oMG" . i would never refer anybody to them.. they should learn how to deal with their customer!! read more

I appreciate this store because it has things that the average store doesn't. However, the attitude of the employees is so off putting! Is it necessary to treat your customers so poorly? We are the ones paying your wages, however you treat us like we are dog shit. I like the store, but sometimes I don't mind driving a few extra miles to be treated like a decent human being. read more

First off... it's messy to the point that people can and did fall over items placed in the aisles loosely because these people have no organizational method to what they do! Second the prices aren't listed against the items your are purchasing, which means if they want to charge you more they can and unless you stand at the register to make a scene about it most people won't do anything about... remember it's your money and you have a right to know what and how much... Disorganized and and cross contamination is a huge deal to me... after spending $50 I want my money back and I will get my money back! But on to my point- the same gloves that handled the meat I watch someone handle vegetables with... which explains the moldy vegetables! When I told the cashier who evidently stupid and unable to understand basic English or hand motions (the one who is right to the door as you walk out) she literally shrugged her shoulders at me! So the review is based solely on how things are handled and how unsafe it is there which begs the question! Why not go to India Supermarket in Bothell! Wtf that place is SO clean and organized beautifully! The rude cashier... bitch you are so rude and simply suck as a human being to not have enough respect for the customer to threw away moldy food or at least remove it! I'm contacting the department of health! For the fact that my daughter fell over your lack of care and the moldy food! Disgusting stop putting your money in this establishment and actually support places that are worth it! They don't care about you! read more

JD's Market is a treasure if you are looking for authentic international foods or good prices on cooking basics like onions, potatoes, leeks,etc. My favorite is the PANEER!! Sold in packages just like the scary orange "cheddar" they sell in grocery stores in America! If you want packaged foods from their countries of origination, you will also find a huge selection here. I'm talking about instant-serve Pav Bhaji, Palak Paneer,Dhal; frozen stuff like samosas, Missa Roti bread, too much to list here. Also, there are rows and rows of fresh spices. Want to get a whole bag of cardamom powder without choking on the price? It may be the world's most expensive spice, but you can find it here under $10, and in 3 different varieties. There are real Maggi additives, boxes of actual henna, and full-fat soaps. My biggest surprise was seeing goat meat in the freezer! ** Do watch out for the expiration dates on items. read more

Short review: JD's is great. with some minor qualifications to that great. Ah, the joys of ethnic goodies! Injera bread = yummy. Koroun's yogurt drink, so tasty. Jars and boxes and things... good good good. JD's is the place for this. Vegetables of sorts and varieties that I can only figure out with Wikipedia... And ones I do know that I see no where else in the Northwest. They get GREEN / unripe almonds! Wow! Fuzzy tasty and so hard to find. I wish I was in the area more often, so as to shop here on a regular basis. One just doesn't know what they'll get in. Prices are good on the normal fruits and vegetables too. OK, on to the qualifications (mostly in reply to other reviews): Sometimes the vegetables are not quite up to supermarket standards, most of the time they are, but use your brain to pick them. We've never had any problems. As with most ethnic markets there are things I won't go for, mostly raw meat and seafood. I just don't even notice it. I'm one of those folks who wants their meat etc. to look like it never got close to an animal... Neat, tidy, uninteresting. JD's might have great meat, don't know. But, I don't even look at Uwajimaya's in Seattle and they're cleaner than my kitchen. If it's an interesting store more exotic than Trader Joe's I just tune it out. Some reviews have commented on the staff being grumpy... The staff here ranges from: One gal who is so sweet that, if I wasn't married AND old enough to be her father, I'd definitely try to date her - to several folks I would describe as "very reserved". The reserved ones (my guess) are from cultures that just don't smile etc. As an example I've known several folks from India, certain groups there smile bunches, other groups always look (to me) like they are at a funeral even when (technically) happy. One thing I like about this store is that they seem to have a wide ethnic variety of folks as staff. I think several continents worth. Bottom line: JD's has things I've never seen anywhere else, things I've never seen within thousands of miles, things tasty tempting and wonderful. read more

They have got a ton of carts. Finally!! The service still have to be improved. Nobody ever smiles or talk to you. Simple: How are you. Is it hard to say? But veggies got better, fresher and prices have not changed. The store got cleaner. before I could give them only 2 stars. But they working on improving their business. :) read more

They are selling old stock and selling dates and groceries which are not consumable with insects.

10 limes for a dollar! Apples are 25 cents a pound cheaper than other stores--pretty sure they were grown in the same orchards. There are all the staples and more here; lots of great ethnic foodstuffs, cool tea cookies, fantastic spices at a fraction of what they cost elsewhere. A very "market" feel here and an INCREDIBLE selection of items for Asian, Middle Eastern and Mexican recipes. I popped in onThanksgiving and got a huge pomegranate, 3 boxes of incense, Garam Masala paste, limes, cucumbers, parsley and a large mexican apple juice---$14.00 total. Will defintely be back! read more

Fantastic place. Always my first stop when grocery shopping. Their prices are fantastic. Sweet onions are usually 25 cents a pound, so it allows me to buy a ton and carmelize them which is a nice personal treat! Their produce prices are incredible, they have great seasonal produce. However, be warned that these vegetables are fresh but may not last long. Do not buy vegetables for the week, just for a few days. Also have a selection of dried chiles, prepared/frozen/microwave Indian/Pakistani meals, Injeera and deserts. Also a good place to buy if you're feeling adventurous. Fresh tumeric, coconut, lemongrass or banana flower! Now accepts credit cards but $5 or over i think? read more

The meat should be a little cheaper. In desperate need to find cheap halal meat. The staff is nice. The muslim ladies are really helpful and fun to talk to. The vegetables are good but some are sold so fast that only the bad ones are left. Location is good Try lamb chops from here. Soooo good! The ground chicken is not good since It didn't smell or taste fresh. read more

Just watch the expiration dates on some of the products. I mean a lot of the products they offer aren't from these parts and have traveled a long way to get here. Plenty of spices and interesting products from East Indian to Middle Eastern delicacies. A usually friendly bunch at the counter are waiting to serve you. read more

The best Pakistani and Indian grocery shop in the lynnwood. You can find the best meet here and all the stuff from back home. Really love this shop. I recommend this shop to all the people in Washington State. read more

I love JD's Market for what it is - a reasonably priced neighborhood ethnic grocery store with a very large Indian section and a modest selection of authentic Hispanic items. But don't go in expecting anything fancy. Items spill out of the shelves onto the floor, things are stocked haphazardly everywhere, and there are a ton of flies all over the store (especially gross in the produce section). At the same time, they're the only place I've found that sells injera, and their prices on Indian spices are great, so I keep going back! read more

I love jds market. Can't say enough about their prices or the variety of produce they get in. This is an international market and they cater to Mexican Middle eastern, Indian cuisine. There are many products that I am not familiar with. I wish that for their anniversary that they would have some cooking demonstrations of the products they sell so we could broaden our cooking horizons. They get some incredible bargains for produce. Cases of raspberries for 6 dollars or cases of blueberry. Cantelopes 2 for 1.00, bagged salad 3 for 1.00 are some of the recent deals. You have to be careful. Some of the items are good but ready to turn so use up! Or do like I do and freeze them. This spring I got string beans for .29 cents a pound. You cant beat the prices and you dollar goes far here. The people are very nice and efficient. Its always busy and fun to see what they will have. read more

I like this store only because they sell little Persian pickles. It is hard to find them, especially during the winter time. This store use to be very very dirty and food was spoiling fast too. They are a little bit better with cleanness, but cashiers still ignore you rudely, when there is a long line, They wont open a second line ever for you. I simply don't stop there to buy food if I see busy parking lot. I wont buy oranges here, 30% off them will spoil in a few days. :( . I bought many oranges here once and after a few days I found in my refrigerator 3 molded and 1 very unpleasant looking orange. That happened to me a few times in this store with other fruits or vegetables too. They also don't accept credit card if purchase is less then 10.00. I needed once to buy some special pepper and cost only 20cents. I had no cash. I could not buy it. Yep! read more

This market has an interesting mix of items, Mexican, Indian, Arabic all mixed together under one small roof. They tend to have some inexpensive produce but it's not super fresh and can go bad quickly. If you are buying a lot with the intention to eat it within 2 days it's totally worth it. It's not the cleanest place I've ever been too. I guess it's worth checking out, they have a few items that seem unique to the location (some frozen food items, fruits and veggies). I haven't really interacted much with the staff, I've only seen them at the cash register and they don't say much. read more

This place will turn some people off because it initially appears a bit run down but the shabby appearance disguises some amazing deals on produce and Indian/Pakistani/Mexican/misc ethnic food. If you want to get 20 pounds of apples to juice, JD's is the place for you. If you want to get a really excellent box of 20 veggie samosas or a bag of Naan for half the price you would pay at trader joes, JD's has you covered. They also have some harder to find items: indian style pickles (not talking about cucumbers here), ghee, paneer, and dry pulses and beans that are harder to find elsewhere. The service is friendly and I usually don't have to wait long to be checked out. I usually visit late afternoon and the lines aren't bad. Parking is very very plentiful. This place would easily get 5 stars if it weren't so shabby. But as it stands I love it just the way it is. read more

A produce market, a Halal Butcher and Grainery in one store. There is a really a wide range of choices of Hispanic and South Asian products here. To supply the diverse community that Lynwood has become. read more

This isn't a grocery store that you'd use every day. However, there are some rare finds here. Definitely worth a visit for those looking to spice up the dinner plans. Both literally and figuratively. 3 stars instead of 4 because every time I go the wait is pretty long. read more

Love JD's. Great fruit, international selection and reasonable prices. It's my official fruit source. I go there to get honey from Granite Falls, Mangoes from half a world away and Middle East pita bread. My grocery shopping is not complete until I go there. read more

After spending half an hour calling places on a Sunday looking for veal and having no luck, we decided to stop by JD's Market. They had a few cuts of veal out, but not what I was looking for. One of the workers went to the back, and cut me two pounds of veal that I needed, wrapped it, and I was on my way. Great customer service and a wide selection makes this place a great stop. read more

The best Pakistani and Indian grocery shop in the lynnwood. You can find the best meet here and all the stuff from back home. Really love this shop. I recommend this shop to all the people in Washington State. read more

This is a great place to get Indian/Mexican groceries. They carry variety of stuff. The place is usually very cold. the management definitely can clean and tidy the store a lot read more

I love this market, It has a variety of Indian Pakistani spices and variety of curries pickled treats so have Mexican treats and postres , they have Halal beef, chicken, lamb... as well as other traits. Middle Eastern non-food products henna, insence, hair oils, shampoos.. hygiene & houshold items from India, Pakistan etc.. Many different cooking oils fruits and vegetables are great depending on the season read more

Lot to choose from and prices are pretty reasonable. Since they have their own meat shop in the back meat is super fresh. Best place to buy lamb/goat meat. Lot of parking spots and easy to go in and out doesn't matter what direction you're going to. read more

I'm so excited. Seriously. SO FREAKING EXCITED! I just got home from my first trip to JD's and all I want to do is go back. From the outside I figured it was a typical fruit stand with some specialty items, but inside is isle after isle of new flavors and delights to discover. This place is a bit run down, the lighting could be a little less dingy and institutional, the aisles can be hard to navigate even with your little cart and around the fruit/veggies there were a good amount of flies hanging out. However, dust of your American sterile glasses and enjoy finding fruits and veggies only seen on Iron Chef and Chopped. There are pastries and breads you can only dream of making at home- because let's face it, your diy naan is never as good as what you can get else where. If you are into cooking and sometimes get sad because you read a more authentic recipe and you know QFC/Fred Meyer/Albertons/Safeway just isn't going to have it and you know it will cost you a pretty penny at PCC and Whole Foods, THIS IS WHERE YOU'LL FIND IT. I got a bottle of sesame seed oil, chili vinegar, and soy sauce for around $8 total. The rest of my basket was filled with fruit, veg, asian noodles, Persian butter biscuits, and a few other random impulse purchases and the grand total for 3 bags of groceries was $25 and some change. I didn't really encounter the sales people too much other than being checked out by the front counter woman, she was nice enough. Honestly- this place is not somewhere made by the service, it's about the products. Enjoy! read more
