We asked many annoying questions and he answered every one, made helpful recommendations and was soo patient with my child. Thank you Harry and everyone at this location!

I'm a fan of Harris Teeter. When we're in DC this is our new go-to location (we had another…read morelocation go-to when we would stay at Gallaudet). Great selection for beer and other beverages. Grocery and bakery items are usually fully stocked. Often buy birthday cakes or cupcakes here. Fresh and tasty. Overall, the store pricing is reasonable with good sales and loyalty shopper deals. Gets pretty busy but easy to navigate and get in and out. Friendly employees.

I'm currently on a spiritual quest to find the best grocery store rotisserie chicken in the world,…read morewhich I have dubbed "Chicken Wars." Next up is Harris Teeter in DC, and a whole tissi ran $7.99. It ended up landing at 7.9/10, which currently ranks it 15th out of 40 grocery store birds I've currently tried. I ate this one in front of the White House which was pretty cool, although I had the yips when I was recording the video due to the sheer amount of people around. I did that to myself though so no complaints. I'm working on a website for the rankings to live, so stay tuned on that. LOVE YALL! IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

Might be biased on the 4 stars here because it is my local bodega that I frequent most. . …read more frequently but it is truly a pleasant experience whenever I come to purchase my groceries (beer). The place is truly cramped but that's alright because there aren't usually more than a couple people buying their groceries (beer) here either. The typical non perishables are all marked up and some of them are even Giant's own generic but it is too much a convenience fee to mind. What makes this place gold is twofold. The first is the lone proprietor, Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu is possibly the hardest working man I have ever met INCLUDING my own father. This guy works every day Monday through Sunday and he is in there to open the place up at 8:00 am and closing it down at 9:00 pm (although I have seen a younger man with similar features that has manned the counter during the day occasionally). When I wanted some groceries (beer) on Christmas day was I worried that he wouldn't be there? No way. I asked him why it is that he can afford to spend all of his time and holidays working and he explained that he had a falling out with his family in 1984 and hadn't spoken to them since. Did I mention he lets me come in and make change for the laundromat? The second is the cheap wine. While a pack of lightbulbs might cost you $4, I have purchased the cheapest magnum bottle of wine I have ever had in my life at Sonya's for about $7. Not the most flavorful but it certainly does the trick ;) If you are concerned about not being able to take the quickest route to the beer fridge because someone is checking out and filling the space between the end cap and the counter then this place might not be for you but if you want convenience and pleasant from someone who has been serving the community for 20+ years, Sonya's is your joint.

Sonya's Market was in great location compared to the Airbnb I was staying in on 11th St NW so I…read morecame here a few times over the weekend. The place is well stocked from floor to ceiling and the prices are descent for drinks. They have a gigantic selection of Wine. Be prepared to be watched like a hawk while you're in here with surveillance cameras and by multiple employees posted throughout the tiny store.

As a general rule, I like Streets Market. They're in residential areas where it's hard to buy food,…read moreand online shopping can replace a lot of retail, but it can't replace groceries. The selection feels curated; some local brands, some higher end things for special dietary needs. Prices can be high; I got some beverages on sale. This location is on the smaller end, and I found a few useful things but not a great selection. I was puzzled by the fact that only a couple of blocks away on U Street, I saw another Streets under construction that looked bigger. One might assume that this one is moving over there, but research suggests to me that both will be open at the same time, which is a bit odd. My guess is that the other one will be more worthwhile when it opens, but this one is good for a quick stop now and then.

The supermarket has almost everything you need, just a little pricey. The produce is always fresh,…read morethe place is pretty well organized and there is always enough staff to help you out in case you need it. I haven't tried the cafe, but the supermarket is good. The environment is friendly. The only reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it is pricier than other supermarkets with the exact same brand or products.

If you've been sleeping on this grocery store or you haven't visited in a minute go check it out!…read moreThey renovated a few months ago and they did a fantastic job at both making the store more easier to navigate and updating/expanding their selection. You can find everything from Michele's granola, mung beans, 3 crabs fish sauce, oat milk, Korean melon ice cream bars, and latin groceries. They've done a good job at diversifying their products to meet the needs to the yuppy-fied neighborhood and long-time residents. This is where I go for some Asian ingredients (in addition to Hana market) that can't be easily found in DC. In addition to what I mentioned above, they have plenty including dried mushrooms, msg, gojuchang paste, dried pho noodles, Kewpie mayo, and more! You can also find some good deals on produce here. Their green beans are usually really fresh and crunchy. They also carry bean sprouts and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. They used to carry Thai basil here and there, but I haven't seen it in a while. Their cilantro prices are usually also really reasonable; it was 2 bunches for $1 today! Now what makes this really special is their butcher counter (service during daytime hours, but if you call in advance, they may be able to accommodate up until 6/6:30 potentially) will actually work with you to get you what you need and it won't cost an arm and a leg. I go here to buy pork ribs bc they'll cut them lengthwise for me to cut into riblets for Vietnamese sườn kho or soup and I also order sliced meat here when I have bbqs (typically sliced pork shoulder for Vietnamese grilled pork, but they've sliced up entire pork chop hunks to my specification as well with a few days notice). There's no extra cost for butcher service either! I no longer live near this market, but I still try and go once a month bc I can't get most of this unless I go to the burbs, which is much further lol Highly recommend this local market.
