Since when are we paying for our products and packing our own bags too? The cashier standing there watching me pack with his arms folded. I guess he wanted me to pay first then do his job packing. read more

I tried some of the premade food. Chicken Parm - very little marinara sauce and no mozzarella cheese at all and why is it cut up into little pieces? Lobster Rigatoni- No Lobster, Horrible Sauce, overcooked pasta, no flavor at all Roast Beef Sandwich- Decent amount of roast beef but the bread is so chewy it makes this sandwich not worth it. They have potential with the hot food but unfortunately it's all crap. read more

King Kullen - Why are cutting up the chicken, no sauce, no flavor! - Grocery Near Me - Valley Stream, New York

I used to shop at this grocery store many times in the past. Recently I had a very bad experience - it was discriminatory. It happened on Sunday November 17, 2024. I picked up my required items and used self service counter to bill and pay. When I completed weighing all items from my cart, the guy at the counter walked up and examined my bag and cart. This was strange at this location. I never experiences such a rude behavior in the past. That guy didn't verify other's cart and inspected my cart only and looking for any unchecked item in my cart. This is totally discriminatory. I am an Asian and he inspected only my cart and bag. This is totally unacceptable read more

Being an Senior African American you grow accustomed to visiting establishments that have a clear unwelcoming vibe.. the older employees at this particular unit have a distinct displeasure and deposition when they are required to speak and interact with customers of color especially in the customer service desk and the deli the strong disdain on some of the employees faces are quite evident and I have had brief chats with other customers who have noticed the same demeanor... the older females assisting with the state lottery in particular have a real unkindness and attitude towards customers of color.. realizing that the neighborhood is becoming more diverse management that knows these biases exist amongst its in employees should be aware and pro-active read more

I shop here quite often for someone who lives 25 minutes away. I like the variety, never been crazy about the circular but the food is always fresh. Anywho on a recent visit the young lady at the self check out with medium length curly black hair had THE absolute worst customer service and horrible attitude my last visit when I asked for help. It seems I interrupted the conversation she was having on her phone with EarPods in her ear while at work. She became more frustrated when I pointed out that she didn't have to be rude or nasty to me that I just needed help. My two teens were with me and got all wide eyed when the young cashier came over and started hitting the screen aggressively. I had a word with the manager prior to leaving but was super disappointed. My moms shops there like I don't want anyone talking to her like that, and I don't want to have to exercise keeping my cool because someone's head is all pumped up with their first summer job. Let's keep the communities calm and pleasant. On another note two young men went to the BACK to find some King Oyster mushrooms I was looking for there and I thought that was incredible. Even made some awesome fried chicken with it. But yeah absolutely whipped out all those starts by being mistreated in a King Kullen Self Check out by a very nasty young woman who couldn't even figure out how to ring up oyster mushrooms herself and needed assistance but had the nerve to be upset when I asked for help. Isn't that what she was there for? The manager was understanding and empathetic I don't think I ever did that before. My children were so proud that I didn't take matters into my own hands, I'm like it's a supermarket it's here to serve the public why would I (wink wink). read more

Nice and clean Helpful staff Parking lot Good selection of healthy foods The deli staff was nice The fish staff needs anger management The store doesn't carry a good selection of kosher food read more

I use to enjoy coming to this supermarket, the selection is huge and it's clean. However this last experience with a cashier made me so disgusted that i won't be coming back. I wish i would have gotten her name, she was Caucasian with blonde hair and looked very old in the face despite her having long glittery fake nails and lashes that were huge with glitter on them. I watched her customer service with the older Caucasian couple before me, she was extremely friendly with them, even let them take their time packing up their groceries which was a lot and never rushed them or asked them to pay. I had a few items and waited patiently. But i could feel she didn't mind holding up the line because she saw it was me waiting. Once the couple finally paid she smiled and told them to have a wonderful day. When it was my time to go, she did not speak to me at all even though i said hello. Yup completely ignored. Wouldn't even tell me the price of my total. When i asked for the price she was seemingly annoyed and then told me. I paid in cash and she gave me my change in a rush and didn't respond to my thank you. In 2022 to experience this type of customer service because of the color of my skin is distasteful. This is the second time this occurred at this supermarket so i wanted to ensure that i made it known. To management please be aware of who you hire and how it represents you as a company. I will not be returning and i wanted to ensure that my experience was shared to help others. I went to a local supermarket after this and the customer service was outstanding. Please do not go where you are not wanted. Thank you for reading. read more

There's and older woman supervising the self check out and it literally yelling at everyone checking out, including myself. While I'm checking out with my child on Mother's Day this person is screaming at me and other people checking out. Please call out if you don't want to work. I asked why are you yelling and her response is " You're obviously not listening!!" Sorry lady I'm in my mid 40s. This is unacceptable read more

KK is pretty pricey in comparison to some of the other supermarkets I frequent in Valley Stream. However, when it comes to customer service they can't be beat! Many times when I cannot locate an item, whichever member of staff I ask ALWAYS go searching the aisles with me if they don'tknow off-hand. Always! Apparently they don't carry curry (hehehe at CarryCurry) or many other "exotic" spices, we're still to locate some. They're open round the clock except for a few hours Sunday into Monday when they take a break. Their weekly coupon BOOK is filled with great deals and if you didn't know that an item is on sale, the cashier always let's you know and gives you the option to go get more of the item, to secure the sale price. Wow! Such charming staff here. Totally gives me that village (community) feel I so enjoy. I like KK, one other K and that would have been something else eh! **mouth wide open**. The End. read more

I did not know how to cut up a chicken and the manager of the meat dept helped without DELAY ! Thank you and thank you for helping a customer in distress read more

Valley Stream store is amazing. Management is spectacular. Deli could use a little more custom service orientation when there's a long line they could take notice. Other than that everything in this store is clean food is always fresh. The Hewlett store is a different story I avoid it. It's dirty the people in the deli are gross. And most cashiers are not nice either. read more

The seafood at the store in Valley Stream is disgusting. It smells and is borderline rotten. The seafood manager should be fired. Though that probably won't happen. They have a pretty good union. Maybe if the Department of Health for Nassau County got wind (no pun intended) of the garbage, literally they're trying to sell to the public someone would be held accountable. read more

I stop by this market for a fresh selection of boars head honey turkey, salami, and mozzarella cheese umm delicious! The service is pretty good. Usually I go around 10am, very light traffic, and easier for me to shop, with less people to move around. read more

During the pandemic King Kullen has been a life line. Love their bell and Evans chicken products, tofu, chips, baby food. So much more. Made excellent grilled ribs when ribs were on sale. Friendly staff and well stocked during this very difficult time. read more

When I'm not around Whole Foods I usually come here. It is a little more expensive then a key food or stop and shop, but they always have what you looking for and always fresh. The Seafood department is my favorite, they always have what I need and again I must say very fresh. Believe it or not they have really good sales you just have to look at the circular. I always went to the self pay kiosk so I never had an experience with an actual person in the store, but everyone seems friendly and helpful. The store is always clean and the staff is always around and keeping the shelfs stocked. read more

Come here occasionally and its always been a good experience. Large variety for all departments and the staff have always been very nice. The other night we were picking up cookies from the bakery and the man behind the counter was very sweet and let me sample a cookie that I had my eye on! The store always seems clean and the flowers always look fresh so we will keep coming back here. read more

I have been shopping at this location every week for a long time. Cashiers are always nice, but today I came across a young cashier named Chris.(made it a point to look at his name tag). As usual I forgot my reusable bags in the car so I had to bag myself. Chris was aware I was having trouble "bagging " and said please don't worry, I will help you. It might not seem like a big deal to some, but my order was a large one but it was just the way he approached it and spoke to me. He was extremely kind. I tried to find the manager to let him know, but couldn't find him. I hope King Kullen realizes what a nice employee they have. Thank you Chris read more

I have been going to King Kullen since they opened up in Valley Stream. Recently I had began using a motorized cart. The employees were extremly helpful, caring and pleasant. Putting my groceries in the car and even wiping snow off my windows. It is such a pleasure to be able to shop for myself as opposed to just making a list. As a senior I have lost a lot but the pleasure of cooking and shopping for myself is the optimum in maintaining my independence. read more

Stay away from King Kullen stores. find this store to be very violent security.. Kullen use what they call undercover stalkers who bother harass threaten customers. they follow you when your shop. don't like that bad reputation. Not normal Seem they try to pick pocket me. very shady owners. Store manager know nothing about where the product is. He prepare bakery aisle bad. Conflict of interest rather than fix food on shelf. Watch out for these people walking if you go there period. shop at Lidl better price read more

I recently finished shopping and went to put my groceries into my trunk and my keys accidently fell into the trunk and were locked in.... I went inside and spoke to the customer service desk - mind you this was during the pandemic the employees were so nice - they actually tried to get someone to come out to the car and tried to get inside the car to release the trunk - when that didn't work one of the employees offered to take their break and drive me home so I could get spare keys.... they were truly a blessing that day.... Excellent service and good, fresh produce, bakery staff is so kind but the caring for customers in the store is so rare....GOOD JOB - I wish I could call the CEO of the company and let them know what a great job their people are doing. read more

King Kullen is pretty pricey, but at least I can say I end up finding exactly what I am looking for when I am in town visiting family. This location can be pretty crowded which you can expect anywhere in NY. Thanksgiving week was a bit crazy. I love how big of a selection they have for Entenmann's I was looking for a specific lemon coconut icing cake by this brand and found plenty without a problem. I wish VA had King Kullen stores. When I went this go round the lines were long and the store was having issues with their registers scanning produce. However, that didn't stop the cashier I went to from being friendly and pleasant compared to some of the workers. She tried to move the line swiftly while being friendly. All in all this seems like a pretty good go to place. read more

I have been shopping at King Mullen for decades. I love the cleanliness of the store. Produce is always beautiful. Circular sales are always in stock. I also had the experience of the rude blond cashier with long nails. Exact same thing. Gushing over the customer ahead of me and being downright rude to me. No greeting, no stated total, no reply to my thank you. It was so noticeable she had issues with me. She exuded hate and disdain. ((Shudder)) Came home and told my family. Wish I would have informed a manager. Haven't seen Miss Sunshine in months. I hope she got what she earned. read more

It's pricey but clean and organized. They didn't have a product I was looking for and asked the front desk. They said they didn't carry it but would try to order it. A week later it was on the shelves. It's not my regular supermarket but the times I've gone it has never smelled, the sandwich counter has always filled my sandwiches with too much meat even if I ask for them not to (i noticed that as a complaint on a previous review) and it's 24 hours tues-sat which comes in handy. read more

Standard grocery store trying to entice the healthier eaters. If I lived in this area I would no doubt have to shop in a big chain store such as this and have to pray to the God of food that they are telling the truth about the origins of their food. Not a store I would want to have to depend on but then I don't live in the suburbs. read more

Always Have everything you need and stay open late for a cheese foody like cause the new vegetables crackers with Gouda Cheese cut thin slice are the bomb to catch up on your Dvr shows......So Kullen your in my book for cheese lovers and Boar head lovers..oh yeah the helpers there are great i mean we don't really need tyem for much cause the isles are pretty light up so tou can see them items lols....but services are good there read more

This is the newest King Kullen in the area and the largest. They offer a lot of variety and the premises is clean and well kept. I would say it is one of the pricier supermarkets in the area. In general, it's cheaper than foodtown but more expensive than Stop and Shop. They have an automated deli service if you want to get your deli meats and cheeses that way. They have a seafood section that usually looks pretty barren and devoid of the flavors of the sea (I guess no one is particularly fond of seafood around there). Their other meat section is usually bountiful and overflowing with your normal beef, chicken, and pork. They have a coinstar machine and lottery ticket machines. The only crappy thing is that they are not usually staffed with enough people for the checkout lines and that they are REALLY strict with selling their alcoholic beverages (beer or wine); one time they were trying to ID my entire shopping party (we are all in our mid to late 20s). PAPERS PLEASE! That's stupid. Don't buy your beverages here unless you like being hassled by their nazi-like management. I'd say this is the closest thing to their flagship store within a 10 mile radius. read more

Went to use the rest room. It was BEYOND disgusting. Wet floor, toilet seat wet with paper stuck to it and...wait for it...the only roll of toilet paper there was wet with who knows what! Came out and told the self check supervisor. Said she'd get it taken care of. I finished my grocery shopping and even put it all in my car. Came back in to try again 30 minutes later. Still the same. GROSS. went to the Courtesy Desk. She put an out of order sign on the door. Seriously? That's not customer service anywhere let alone a supermarket that charges more than any other supermarket around here. I'll stick to Trader Joe's. read more

I love that this is a clean nice supermarket that is opened 24 hrs. In the early morning hours you see the staff restocking shelves/produce making sure the place is presentable. Yes, I do agree that they are more expensive. I prefer coming here and being able to find what I need instead of going in circles wasting my time. read more

The store may be okay, but DO NOT order a sandwich from their "Sandwich Shop". What a joke. They should be ashamed of themselves for what they make and call a "Sandwich". Stale bread, 3 slices of meat and almost nothing else. If it's a stale bread sandwich you want, this may be the place. But don't order any meat or anything else because all you'll get is a bread sandwich. read more

Definitely pricey but the cleanliness, product availability and friendly employees make it worth while. Been shopping here since the day it opened. Great selection and decent sales. What happened to the coupons in the local newspapers? Means a lot to save that $5 here and there :) Thank you King Kullen Valley Stream, for working hard thru the pandemic and always with smiles! read more

I want to echo Yolanda's sentiments. It is a good store and the meat, deli and produce depts are superb. The store is clean but I do miss the coupons too. However I am glad they did not merge. read more

I'm a huge fan of this supermarket, it's conveniently located right next to my gym and my job. There is always plenty of parking and my favorited thing is shopper's card to get their discount price. They have the best seafood salad at the fresh fish area and the bread is always fresh. Their fruit and veggies section is pretty good too. The prices are decent, the meats are a bit pricey but you can find some deals. Also it's very clean. read more

Their bakery is so good. Everyone is really nice. Good costumer service. The store is always clean and the manager at this King Kullen is really nice. read more

Store is nice, but number of available selections could improve. Also, while I understand the safety precautions surrounding Covid, I have a problem with cashiers wearing gloves and handling all of your food, but will not touch your home bags or even attempt to assist you in packing your groceries. They are allowed to handle your food, but not your bags? The cashier stood there and waited for me to finish and looked annoyed as if I was holding her up. I have been to other KK stores, and other supermarkets, during the pandemic and this has not been the case. I worked in the supermarket business many years ago, starting as a cashier and moving up to a full charge office bookkeeper for one of the major chains, and I found the customer service experience to be nonexistent in this store. The cashier in my case was simply lazy. Or, if she has such a concern about working in such an environment, perhaps she should not work at all. And, to add insult to injury, she wasn't very friendly. Notwithstanding Covid, the customer service experience was a major let down at the cashier level. I will not be returning to the store. read more

DO NOT BUY SEAFOOD FROM THIS PLACE... I brought a piece of salmon from their seafood department. It smelled like garbage. It stunk up my car. THE WORSE read more

I went to this supermarket as I always with my son with autism who is obsessed with playing cards he wanted to get all of them and when he couldn't get all we went out with them to the car, I told security to come with me so I can give him the extra ones back and take the ones I purchased. The manager and security were both outside with us. I explained the disability and was told not to come back because of his disabilty and the safety of the other shoppers. He also stated he didn't want to call the police I told him to go ahead I'm his mother, I'm with him, and the police understand. I paid for everything we had and also showed my receipts to the manger because he asked me if I paid for the groceries which really hurt as well. I do not teach my son that it's ok to take anything I can't afford. I felt so hurt and offended that the manager would think I would come to a supermarket to steal and clearly stated don't come back. Also, I have to teach my son how to behave in society by taking him shopping, it's called normalization. I refuse to lock him up in the house and throw away the key like some people want. read more

Store has great selection and is clean. Staff always nice and helpful. But the meat doesn't last long and never seems that fresh. The ground beef always has an expiration date of the same day that you buy it I don't understand where has the meat been that it's old when it hits the shelves ! And true to the expiration date on the label. if you don't use it when u buy it stinks the next day read more

I like coming here! It's always well organized and the workers are friendly. The produce is always fresh. I live around the area and when I don't feel like commuting all the way out to Walmart or BJ's I can always count on being satisfied shopping at King Kullen. read more

King Kullen is NOT the closest to my home (Key Food closer) or the least expensive (Food World). BUT, it is convenient, clean, well-stocked and they go out of their way to help the customer out, My biggest reason for shopping there? They have some great specials and coupons AND they have a bunch of (4) brand-new electric handicapped carts! A few weeks ago they were down to 1 or 2 working carts which made it tough for me to shop! Last week I was very pleasantly surprised to see 4 BRAND NEW CARTS in the store! Thank you King Kullen! By the way, the staff is helpful and will usually get you what you need! read more

I went to the bakery on 1/4/22 at 9 am in the morning. I placed an order for 2 dozen cupcakes (12 chocolate and 12 vanilla). I chose specific colors, and asked if they could be ready by 9 am the next morning. I was told that it was not an issue. Fast forward to 8:40 am the next day, I received a call 20 minutes until my scheduled pick up time which was paid for already, and I am told that there is a "slight" problem. There are no chocolate cupcakes... An entire 24 hrs passes before anyone realizes this? Did they intentionally wait until the last minute to tell me? I was going to just cut my losses and take 2 dozen vanilla cupcakes until the guy tells me that "there is a chocolate shortage because of the pandemic". This is a bakery in the middle of a grocery store that has a baking aisle with chocolate cake mix, so this was the most absurd thing that I had heard all morning. That comment on particular prompted me to go and get a refund. I ended up going to Buttercooky on Jericho Tpke instead, and they had EXACTLY what I needed and in the colors that I wanted, beautifully decorated already! I guess the chocolate shortage due to the pandemic was a blessing in disguise. read more
