I'm not quite sure how to review this place. "3.5 stars" feels like the rating I want but since…read morethat's not an option, I'll bump it up to 4 stars. The location to surrounding area is amazing. The family and I were vacationing in South Kensington and this store was ideally located. It's a grocery store that has all the essentials... and more. And by "more", I mean seemingly random stuff like an aisle of non-branded shirts... and a convenience station which apparently provides shoe repair? Item selection for things (particularly vegetables and fruits) seems a little sparse. But admittedly I'm a tourist so perhaps that's expected for the area, climate, and time of year. Checkout is slightly disorganized (again, probably a "tourist ignorance" thing). Recyclable bags are available for pickup on a rail while walking through self-checkout. There's an automated gate that requires a receipt barcode to be scanned before exit is permitted. Ultimately I think this is a store that's 90% grocery store and 10% variety store. Nothing wrong with that but it was just a little surprising.

It was interesting visiting an English grocery store. First of all this particular store was…read moresmaller than the ones in the United States. Also, English grocery stores aren't laid out the same. For example cookies might be in multiple locations rather than one designated "cookie aisle." Also it was interesting because you had to pay for a shopping cart. They did have a limited number of hand baskets. If they ran out of hand baskets, people would use the bags they brought and add there items into the bags. Then remove them when they got to the counter. It was nice because there weren't long lines, and they had a lot more self-serve kiosks than my local American grocery store.

They have a variety of fresh food/produce as well as some frozen goodies. You can buy household things as well. I always come here to grocery shop because it's so close to Ealing Broadway tube, and is just a bus ride from my flat. The cashiers are always very polite and will greet you when it's your turn. I thought it was kinda weird that you had bag your own items though, we don't do that in the US. But yeah, I basically pick up everything food related here.

Fortunately it's one of the larger Metros and there are a lot of tills and a fast moving self-service till section. It has the all the usual Tesco stuff: a sandwich section by the door for lunchtimers in a hurry, a deli counter, a bakery (I recommend the walnut bread), a whole aisle of alcohol and a CD/DVD corner. You either like Tesco or you don't. I do.

They have amazing vegetables and fruits that you won't find anywhere else and a lot of products from other countries: Poland, Spain, Brazil, etc... The prices are really good but that does not mean the quality is bad. It is just the opposite. Different types of flours, legumes, cereals, olives, oil, teas... all you can imagine and more. They also have a massive amount of stock, so if you do not find anything there, probably you won't anywhere in London. Tesco has a lot to learn from.

This Asda is great! They are open 24 hours during the week, so if your really craving something you…read morecan get it any time of the day/night. They also have pretty much everything! From clothing to electronics and obviously all the food you can think of. (No canned lychees though... when I asked someone if they have it they said: Yeah cheese section is right over there... hello? I am Swiss yes but not everything I want is cheese) There is also a pharmacy and an optician which can be really helpful too. I also love it that they sell fresh Indian food which is great for lunch (I work nearby). So yeah good place but usually too crowded...

You, ASDA, are not my Wal-Mart. My Wal-Mart has so much random cheap crap lying around that I think…read moreto myself 'Oh! I NEED that....' even if I haven't the first clue what it does. Wal-Mart has never let me down (okay ONCE, but it was for a CD of the musical AIDA...and who in the midwest listens to musicals besides me?) and yet, Asda, you failed me. All I needed was cheap baby dolls for a halloween costume. Not even BIG baby dolls, just small ones to represent the Octomom. But, sadly, there was none of that. Only plush stuffed dolls that were like £4. However, it did redeem itself when I found both american popcorn and cheerios on sale. And let me tell you, Honeynut Cheerios will go a long way in redeeming something in my eyes. If it was closer (aka not a 2 hour busride from my flat) I would totally hit it up for cheap groceries. So, all in all, it was a nice reminder of home but just not the same useless crap that I miss so much.

A full-size Tesco that probably runs more than 200,000 square feet and is pretty chock full of all the things you need to operate a household. Groceries, produce, meats, cheeses, sweets, soda, beer, spirits, cleaning supplies, you name it! The shop was pretty well organized and the prices were easy to find and I think are quite competitive. Plenty of tills ("registers" in American) and the cashier that helped me was quite pleasant and friendly. Very large parking area and I'm sure there's a petrol station out there somewhere.

Just like in the US, there are lots of hot dishes and cold meal options to choose from in the self-serve area. Healthy options and some favourites, like mac & cheese and even cod bites! Highly recommend and not everything is as expensive as I expected so it's definitely worth checking their sales. Their soups are great too!

The store is really impressive and has a great selection of high-quality products with a shopping environment that is both clean and welcoming, the prices are high for sure with Whole Foods being more of a premium brand so you wouldn't want to do a whole weekly shop here, but if you're looking for some interesting, unique or high-end products this place can certainly do the job. Despite the size of the store, it was well laid out and easy to find what I was looking for without the need for staff assistance there was also a dedicated area for Amazon orders and returns, with Amazon of course owning Whole Foods. The Kensington Kitchen, Wine Bar and unique food offerings make this a nice place to shop. 4*
