She tried to charge me 3.99 for the beans even though they were labeled 2.86 on the can. She tried to charge 3.99 for a small single serving bag of chips which I just put back. She tried to charge sales tax on both he grocery items and blamed it on "a new system" they have plenty of things they could invest in I'm guessing a POS isn't on the top of their list. When I got home I just noticed the beans had expired almost !8! Years ago. Bought 1/27/25 expired 5/22/2017.

Had a very bad experience shopping here. Wanted to pick up a few cheap items, hot sauce jalapeños…read moreand sour cream. Should have totaled about $10. I was charged $28.45. Of course, I knew immediately I was being robbed, but am I going to make a big stink with the abuela manning the register while also minding two niños? Further, after getting home with my thrice as expensive as they should be groceries, I come to find out they're out of date and the hot sauce is actually molded. And, of course, no receipt and no prices on most of the items. I will never shop here again. You shouldn't either.

This grocery store has a really respectable array of fruits, veggies and dry goods from Asia. A…read moregood amount of pantry staples, although not as vast as selection as say, Viet Hoa. What really shines here? Their food stall. I had the spam musubi and immediately went back inside to get 2 more lol. The person working the window even gifted me shrimp toast, which was very sweet. (The shrimp toast is fire). This is more of a pick up and go kind of spot, although they have stools and a counter if want to eat there. Think cafeteria vibes but not in a derogatory way. They sell out often. I know bc I came here yesterday around 2pm, SO excited for spam musubi, only to learn that they sold out of everything at 1pm LOL. Today? I made sure to get there around 1130am. Was able to get garlic butter shrimp (7 BIG shrimp, so flavorful) served with pasta salad (delicious, I usually do not love pasta salad), and rice. I also got a shrimp lumpia (delicious) and a spam musubi for later. Food was phenomenal as usual. The food scene in Madison is not as robust as other places I've lived, but this place? A gem. Def give them a try. Just don't go too late like I did yesterday.

For New Years Eve 2017, we wanted to make some homemade kimbap (Korean-style sushi-type rolls) and…read moredecided to come to Oriental Food Mart to grab most of the ingredients. The only downside was that carrots are sold in packs as opposed to individually, so we ended up for more carrots than we need. Otherwise, it's a small compacted store but it has most of the main ingredients and lots of fun finds throughout the store. I stocked up on some delicious Korean-style Cheetos snack which is my absolute favorite, try it if you haven't already! (A little pricey at $1.99 per bag but still worth it!) If you come in through the store, the refrigerated section is to the right side of the store, along the walls. Then there's some snacks and dry food in the middle, with sauces and tools near the back of the store. The cashier counter is to the left when you enter. There's some parking along the street, we usually just parallel park right outside the store.

While they seem to be known for their sandwiches, and for good reason, they have a lot of great artisanal items rooted in Italian cooking. This includes oils, wines, sauces, spices, treats and more. The "more" also includes fresh-made pasta, hand cut meats and cheeses, gelato and a few other absolutely delish items! Back to that sandwich...we were not hungry, but could not pass up a good sandwich, especially one freshly made on locally sourced and baked bread! The bread was the absolutely star of each bite, I mean...sheesh! The sandwich in full was great, and definitely worth the stop in on its own. The store itself is small, but mighty, and well laid out, stocked with all the goods, flows well, clean and in great condition. Service was stellar as well. We were greeted upon entry, checked on while browsing and chatted up while being rang out. Overall, solid spot for a ready-made meal, a special ingredient, a tasty sandwich, fresh pasta, charcuterie or just to wander around in!

Holy smokes... I am going to have dreams about this sandwich. It is definitely top 3 sandwiches of…read moremy life and maybe the best ever. I had the prosciutto sandwich and my SO had the pastrami and both had nothing but good things to say as we ate. The prosciutto sandwich had balsamic that had just started to soak into the otherwise crunchy bread, with these big chunks of mozzarella and the freshest tomatoes and greens. Alimentari itself is this awesome little deli/grocer with both bagged pastas AND FRESH PASTA/antipasti available to buy, as well as all sorts of goods, breads, coffees, chocolates, beverages and a whole wine selection. Beware that there is no seating inside but definitely do not let this dissuade you from visiting.

It's less like an "as seen on TikTok" place and more of a place to get your ingredients for Asian home cooking. I appreciate that. It's so hard for me to find a decent variety of Filipino items and viet hoa had so many from bagaoong to hopia. Thank you for your kind service. I will be coming here more than global market for my Asian/ Filipino goods at a good price.

I use a lot of different ingredients foe my cooking. Everything from pigs blood to Durian. And now they finally have my favorite instant coffee.. the white durian coffee.... For basic meats it's okay. Global is better on the seafood selection and protein options. But the hidden, and amazing gem is Hot and Spicy kitchen.... ohhhjjh that place.... I love it. People are always friendly. Even that weird girl at the register. I truly enjoy my experience there.

Alas, no fresh tamales to be found (I…read morethought they were supposed to be available in the weekends) but I did check out the rest of the store. Small store but lots of items packed in! Latino grocery. Notable for a big deli case with tons of meats and cheeses. Large selection of beans, rice, spices, tortillas, Jarritos and chips and such. Small produce area but everything they had was really fresh and not bruised. Small area of household cleaning items. Prices seemed quite good. Staff were friendly and all has masks on correctly when I was there and there was lots of cleaning going on. Several international phones available for calls. Small parking lot but also had very close street parking. Seems like a great addition to the neighborhood!
