Royal milk tea.
Aagdolla G.

The gokujyun premium serum is so slimy but good because you don't have to use a lot of skin before moisturizer therefore it will last long. Worth the price. Royal milk tea isn't my fav. Light in taste since it is a tea but not sweet sweet. The other drink is sweet and has fruit jelly inside to chew on periodically as you drink beverage. The açaí hi chew has to be one of my favorite flavors. I don't like seaweed but these umami chips are good and light in flavor or seaweed taste and crunchy.i say try it even if you hate seaweed.

Not just your average convenience store, I like that they carry such a large variety of Asian products from beauty and home goods, to small toys, food and condiments, snacks and beverages. Terrific selection of uniquely flavored potato chips, albeit pricey I appreciate the selection. I like to pop in ever once in a while to try a new beverage or snack, and browse their beauty products. A lot of these are straight from Japan/Korea and you can't find them easily in the states. Worth dropping by if you're in the area!

Unique flavored chips

Such a cool Japanese/Asian grocery store. Lots of delicious foods and drinks. They have a lot of those little collectible Japanese figures that people like too. We bought a bunch of Lay/Doritos that have flavors from Japan/China.

Return rules

A little Japanese shop filed with cosmetics, toys, and snacks. Great place to grab Japanese snacks that aren't too expensive, and cosmetics and more. Lots of imported goods you have a hard time finding in the US. They also have a small aisle of housewares, where I found some dishes I thought I'd never find a match for again! Good to know. Return policy is pretty tight so avoid buying something you aren't fully willing to keep. They do take credit card, but no bags there so bring your own. Very helpful with packing up the bowls I bought safely in paper.

Traveled from Miami and I always stop in when I come to shop here . Love the selection and I loved how cheap the skincare and skincare products are . I always have trouble either waiting or not being able to try things out in store so it's a great option. Very organized and clean. I also love some of the more niche brands along with stuff like mouthwashes , mints , eye drops , and sponges ; things you might have gotten before or tried at a friends but didn't know where to get . They also have great candies and snacks if you're looking to buy some for friends or a group or maybe you had a type before and wanted to buy but couldn't find them in hmart or another market. Overall love the vibe and I can get lost looking at new things always in there .

This place transports you back to Japan, including blasting jpop music, just without the airfare needed. They have a very large selection of items and even better they all have English labels so it makes it so much easier to buy! The prices are extremely fair which usually is a concern for these kinda shops as well. Would highly recommend for your Japanese item needs.

Wide selection of items, store is very clean and organized

I was super excited to see a new TESO Life opened up! The store might seem small from the outside but it is actually MASSIVE. I think I spent close to half an hour inside browsing and I still wasn't finished looking at everything. They sell everything from skincare, makeup, household products for bathroom, kitchen, room fragrances, diffusers, to snacks like chips, cookies, chocolates, ice creams, frozen foods, etc. It's a perfect place to go for practically anything you need. It's also a good place for gifts. The prices are decent, average, and exactly what you'd expect from a TESO. I went to HMart and Sunrise mart right after this, and TESO definitely takes the cake for the cheapest snacks, and largest variety! They have a bunch of snacks on sale (but be careful because some are nearing the expiration date!) Staff are friendly as well, a nice lady helped guide me to what I needed. All in all, I love this new addition to the neighborhood :)!

I had no intention of coming in. The tiny pantry in my tiny kitchen is full, but I was shopping at…read moreTJ Maxx next door and thought 'let's just see.' I was impressed! There are more cashiers than I've seen in any other Trader Joe's. Accounting for what they knew would be a high-trafficked store, the aisles are wide. Plenty of merchandise. Clean, well-stocked. Same prices I paid when I shopped at Trader Joe's in Roswell GA though -- and it may be my imagination -- the bag of frozen Gyoza Potstickers (something I always buy) seems to have shrunk. The First Avenue bus is right outside. Convenient! I would avoid rush hour and weekends when the store could get super busy. I don't want to struggle with purchases on a crowded bus. But I'll surely be back, mid-week, mid-day.

This was my first time visiting this Trader Joe's location…read more I'll start with the positives: the line was short and moved quickly, and they did have some of the items I was looking for in stock, which I appreciated since I was short on time. Unfortunately, the experience was heavily overshadowed by an uncomfortable situation with a security guard who followed us around the store. It was very off-putting and honestly diminished the entire visit. If I hadn't been in a rush, I would have left my items right where I stood and walked out. Security should be focused on individuals who are actually stealing, not hovering over someone carrying a tiny bag where nothing could even be hidden. Because of that experience, it's unlikely I'll return to this location. I may consider trying a different Trader Joe's someday, but this visit left a very sour impression.

Eden Gourmet Marketplace has become a beloved supermarket in the Gramercy area. Let me list why it…read moreis a wonderful place: Emre, store manager, always greets everyone with a smile. We have developed a congenial friendship which was founded on La Fermière yogurts. Emre knows that I price shop so invariably I know when the time is right to buy these delicious yogurts at Eden. I often buy Siggi yogurts as here they are $1.99 each. The ladies - Dolores, Affou, Mamata, Savita, Tofu - at the checkout are friendly, kind and remember customers. A few speak French which I practice with them. Being originally Greek, the Dolmas in the prepared food section, are plump and particularly tasty. It's worth buying a few to take home. Adam looks taciturn but always is kind to me. He is behind the deli counter preparing sandwiches and always gives me a quarter pound of the Jambon de Paris. Miguel and Medina are also here. A loyalty card is worth having and once having accumulated many points I paid the princely sum of $1.61 for a pretty bouquet of roses in assorted colors that cost $11.99. Now that's a steal! Eden Gourmet is the sister supermarket to my beloved sadly closed Eden Gourmet of 14th street. This too is packed to the brim with fresh vegetables, fruits, cheeses, dairy, chicken and meats. A large variety of sparkling waters, frozen entrees, ice creams and assorted temptations are here too. A small bakery has cakes and pastries available. I pop in often to get milk or to see what's new and always to say hello to everyone. I always feel happy coming to Eden Gourmet Marketplace!

He came towards me to open my jacket and try to search me. My other half is disabled and he was buying at the Cold Cut section. I literally was being kidnapped. I tried to ask for owner that I know and told me they were boss and no one around. Sat from 1-2 look at your cameras. Everything is there!!! I've been calling the store and the Lady keeps hanging up the phone. The worker ran to the back and an another employee became hostile towards me. I called her back to preserve the tape from today. She hung up.
