This market has lots of Turkish foods and desserts. I also found frozen Turkish pastry. I have really good experience with this market. And there are lots of halal chickens and meats. Well, I think vegetables are an amazing! They are so fresh. I usually go there for shopping.

I was there at 8 p.m. Today. I am regular customer for them. I saw the sales tag on the moong daal brought to check out and the associate said not on the sale and I show to her the tag and she tears the tag and took picture of the tag too. She forwarded to customer service. The customer service lady was very rude and said its not right item. I ask her name she said, ’its not my job’ and then I ask for Manager but she denied. I said if you Dont give me your name, what I suppose to do ?should I take pictures put on your google review?? And she said I will call the police.very bad experience. Please manager you must have name tag and good customer service. I also have a retail business.

Excellent market experience: an amazing variety of produce & fresh fish that they filet for you. There is a section for Latin, Asian and Mediterranean products that is fun to explore. Love this Market!!❤️

This location is much larger and cleaner than the one in Silver Spring. It is HUGE! The selections are many. The store was not crowded but is was busy. Customer Service needs some improvement. If you drive, Great. If you travel by public transportation, then you have a nice little walk to cross busy Edsall Road. I really miss driving especially when I am grocery shopping.All the produce looked fresh and the strawberries were surprisingly sweet. I found [email protected] a bundle, Italian parsley @.69 a bundle; and limes @ 6/$1.00. It is well worth the visit!Thanks LA Mart!

We really like this supermarket. The fruits and vegetables are always fresh. Of course, do your check as they are perishable. This market has foods from many countries and ethnicities. We are Puertoricans, and we find many producs we used to purchase on our hometown. They also have foods from the middle east, korean, and many more. Employess from the produce and meat departments are nice. Cashiers are nice too. They have a lot of parking, many carts and baskets, and a fast check out for 10 items or less. I visit it almost every Saturday.

Great prices and the place is super clean and it has almost all types of veggies and fruits. Local and international. The only problem is that it is freezing cold inside. You cant stay there for more than half an hour seriously.

I wanted to spend all day in there going up and down every aisle. I was so happy with their large produce section. It looked very fresh too. I want to go back when I have more time to check out their fresh seafood section.

I love this market. Plenty of colorful vegetables to make your meals fun and fresh cut of meat or fish. Its unlikeconventional grocery stores. Is always busy so I know the perishable items are moving quick. Prices are competitive and the staff is prompt at checkout. Give it a go, be bold and try some foreign and yummy stuff.

These guys have (almost) everything. For fresher meat and real middle eastern everything, go across the street to the afghan store!

Nice and clean for an international grocery store. Fresh fish. I love super fresh mackerel. I went to other Mart store days earlier and got somewhat rotten mackerel. Hit or miss I don’t know. Also I wish they have water spinach/kangkong. it’s a popular veggie and must have in Southeast Asia.

Huge Korean/International mart! I’ve been waiting this location to finally grand open in this area! I always had to drive 20mins to go to Korean mart but not anymore!! I visited today for the first time and it was very clean and well organized. They’re really huge compare to other Korean marts in Annandale or Centreville.I saw more than 8 cashiers working so that was a “yay” for me because no long waiting at the cashier here!! How great!!!!The only thing that was not so exciting for me was, they don’t have Korean side dishes or a food court inside. (They do sell Kimchi though!)But that’s my personal opinion. Overall, I was very satisfied visiting today!:)Tips! They have many super deals going on here and there through out the whole store right now since they just opened! I found very good deals today!! You should definitely check them out soon! And they’re giving away a small gift when you buy something(at the register). I don’t know how long the gifts will exist but I got one today!

Amazing produce... out of this world produce! I am amazed at the quality and price point of the produce, the ginger, scallions, Califlower, mint, parsley, leeks, to the pomegranates... crazy wonderful. Hands down, my favorite place to grocery shop.

Enjoy shopping here. There are lots of great deals going on. Also love the different gifts that they are giving away each day. It appears we are shopping here almost every day now. Hopefully there will be a food court considering the freshly available ingredients.

Review №28

Very solid Asian Food market. Great produce but with surprising lacks of certain items like herbs such as thyme and Rosemary. Smaller selections of frozen foods and of fish but great selections of meat. What I love most is I can get really good Middle Eastern and Indian product with a great selection at the same time I am picking up Japanese, Korean and Chinese goods.

Review №57

This is my go-to for fresh produce. The variety of fresh fruits and vegetables is amazing. As a person who cooks a lot of international cuisine I can always rely on LA Mart to have the imported root vegetables, exotic fruits, and other special ingredients. The store is very clean and for a first timer the aisles will seem endless. The meat and seafood sections are just as impressive their isnt a cut or protein they dont carry or butcher in-house. The seafood section is also full of restaurant quality prawns and fish. There are also aisles dedicate to different cuisines (Indian, Latin, African just to name a few). Overall a great spot with great pricing, food quality, and variety.

I will not return to this location the fish department was very unorganized, and rude to me .., people were able to just come up and jump in front of you ... the guy behind the fish counter wouldn’t listen to me when I said I have been here in line while people have come and got in front of me he jus ignored me as if I wasn’t even talking.. very rude and prejudice towards People with dark skin .... I waited over 5 minutes... people were not complying to the 6 ft rule the store was packed over packed ... I got carrots and cabbage they were delicious .... it’s a NO for me I won’t recommend anyone to this place !

Nice variety of Asian Food products.I particularly like their fresh fish and seafood area.Dairy products selection is average.Very affordable prices.Quality of Cashiering staff guest service however needs to improved: Always talking to each other about personal matter while serving customers!Suggest that the supermarket gets rid of the awful wasteful flimsy plastic carry bags.Overall its a nice supermarket and would recommend it to friends and family

Very interesting store. Had no idea what it was, just went in there to look. It is an international grocery store. Lots of produce that I have never seen before or have ever heard of. Lots of Asian foods, Hispanic foods, middle eastern foods, as well as the traditional American foods. A fresh meat market with lots of fresh fish, crabs, squid, octopus, lobster, halal meats, and countless others. Not too badly priced as well.

The worst grocery store I have ever seen.The poorest customer service with unprofessional managers. This store has the weakest management.Cashiers do not know English but only Spanish. None of them know how to talk and behave with customers. I talked to manager and even ignored what I was telling him and right in front of him, the cashier at customer service desk was misbehaving another customer.I dont know what organization or government department is responsible of controlling customer service certifications in such nonsense stores.They need a big change thoroughly all over the store.Please please please please dont shop at this stupid store these pandemic days of stupidCOVID-19.

The worst rib-eye you can find in the area. Those cows probably lived for 100 years. Steak came out a disaster! How could they even sell such old meat at 15 dollars per pack? The best meat for steak is undoubtedly at Harris Teeter.

They have a great selection, HOWEVER they were extremely rude to me when I asked if they knew when a specific cut of meat would be back in stock. I asked if they had it and if not when I would be able to come back in and see if it was here. They proceeded to yell at me and tel me they don’t carry it at All when I pointed it to them on their shelf. Extremely rude. Don’t ask for help here.
