Produce has never been acceptable. And the meats are old and sometimes tainted. Only thing I trust are canned and bottled goods. Its as third world as the closed down McDonalds next store. Lazy and uncaring employees. Surprised if they get past this year. Be prepared to pay 57 cents for a bag if you dont have your own. Where they came up with that number Ill never know lol!

Only one manager here who is the best you can tell he doesnt only care about spanish people like the rest of them in there. I call.him superman because thats who he looks like lol. The rest of the workers only care for you if u look like them. The meat department absolutely REEKS. and its expensive as all hell. Only come here if you have too. Trader Joes is cheaper than this place.

The supermarket rips off customers with misleading sales promotion. When I told the manager, my groceries were ringing up wrongly on cash register. He got upset and forbade me from shopping in the store.

Arguably your best in the area in terms of selection. Somewhat pricey... and you can find good selection of produce from multiple vendors on the street just outside for less than half the price inside. FUs meat prices are killer though. Also, depending on the time of day, lines may be crazy long. I try to avoid the 530-6pm after-work rush. One evening I was stuck in line for over half an hour! Solid overall, though. I do most of my shopping here.

A nice variety and selections. Weekly sales on name brand items.Produces and fruits are decent, salads are nice..

Thats the best supermarket around this area, good prices, fresh food and good service n they deliver the groceries. They been always there during the pandemic they been the best.

I only go here because its the largest market in the area and the food is not always super fresh. They do have a large variety of items which I appreciate.

Local grocery store. Serves a wide selection of global food varieties. Fresh affordable produce. Weekly sales and discounts.

Selection good price is OK.problem is you can’t shop in peace because isles are crowded with boxes.because they stock during the busiest times instead of stocking at night all isles are blocked you can’t reach for what you want.

I really appreciate the way cashiers help you to finish your shopping, it was great.

Surprisingly wide variety of stuff, ranging from everything your abuelita needs for her tamales to high quality European sweets. Oh and they play Jenga with their soda boxes.

Every thing I like they have and fresh.

Pretty solid grocery store. A bit expensive but what grocery store (besides Trader Joes) isnt expensive in the city? Their deals are good though, so I usually just shop for those. The deli is good too and they usually have lots of sales there. The (raw) chicken is usually slimy on the outside of the package and thats really gross though. Produce isnt bad. Great Latin/Hispanic food selection.

The greens are the freshest ive seen in the neighborhood and its the only store nearby that carries escarole

They are slow, the managers are incompetent. The line goes to the back of the store, and no help for the cashiers to pack. The seniors all want to have a long conversation. You wait on the Express line,just as long as the regular line, because the signs are not clear and no one to enforce it. The aisles are not marked as to where to find things, so you walk around and around. The line for the deli counter merges with the checkout line. In a nutshell is a S$$T SHOW.

Better produce section than the market on 146th and Bway but the lines take forever here for some reason.

I love this super market! Has a large variety of food! Employees are sweet and has fresh produce! I love the large variety of Hispanic food and spices considering that I’m Hispanic and it’s hard finding certain things. Service is quick! I recommend this place for a shopper who would like to go to a large supermarket!

I love this grocery store. The prices are better than any other place in the city, and they have really nice people working there.

This is a good market a little expensive but great items and decent service

You find everything that you might be looking for here. Prices are reasonable and staff is helpful.

Narrow aisles and not much space or great labeling, its hard to find something the first time you go there. It has great prices for the city though, theyre not bloated prices like you find at Whole Foods and stuff.Perfecto si eres latino y quieres encontrar un par de productos de tu país!Its a great big and compact supermarket for those on a budget and who are bothered by the lack of options in a deli.

This place is terrible. But theres 2 positive points. Will list below.Positive1. Its cheap2. Open kinda lateNegative1. Two times my credit card number had been stolen from here!!! I know its them cause I bought nothing else except groceries from here. Then the shady Western Union in the Bronx transactions start.2. Checkout lines are crazy slow and long!3. Half the food is past expired4. Its dirty everywhere5. Often drug addicts outside6. Nothing is in order you will have a hard time finding anything and nothing makes sense.7. Staff is terrible. No English and wont help you find anything. Crazy slow at checkout lines. Then give you an attitude half the time.Bottom line. If you want to waste time on rotten food and long lines only to end up getting acard number stolen then go here!

Its ok fruit stand cheap n meat market

Always alot of people and log lines

This is the most choiciest supermarket of the entire city of New York and theres no comparison whatsoever. I have been shopping here since they first opened and will highly recommend it to all my friends. Keep up the good work!!!!

It doesnt have funions but it has other sort of chips, have a good variety of foods, mostly Mexican and imported options. ATM at the front door and good veggies

Its convenient. Not the highest quality goods or the cleanest, but its a neighborhood food mart. Good in a pinch.

Good Supermarkt, with a very good selection. The cashiers could improve their overall politeness. However, a good place for grocery shopping.

Great meats at awesome prices for them. Ok mini sales open late. Til midnight or 11pm

I like going there they treat the customer nice

Used to come here a lot and was very close to where I used to live but moved away I recently went again and a was a lot cleaner than before

Always great. Helpless staff

Good convenient option with decent prices, has pretty much everything you need. If your timing is off you might catch them before they’ve stocked what you’re looking for or find boxes of un-stocked products blocking the shelves. But staff are willing to help.

This shop has a great selection of fresh produce and other basics at low prices; for ex., today, I paid only $5 for a 5-oz. container of salad and a pint of blueberries, which look plump and appetising.The only consistent downside is service, which ranges from inefficient to atrocious. Ive waited in checkout queues far too long becausethe cashier was slow or verifying a price took forever. Today, in Lane 5, the cashier ringing me up barely acknowledged me, as she was too busy running her yap, as were all her co-workers; I had to repeat to her that I didnt want a carrier bag and ask another employee twice to move aside so I could pass. Ive also noticed that price labels are missing from shelves so that, for ex., I had to bring several cartons of eggs up to the checkout till to get the best price -- all signs of laziness and lack of care

The supermarket has knowledgeable staff. The store is clean. Quick service. Thanks! The employees are very helpful. I must shop again.

Nice little store with lots of options. Clean store with a very friendly staff. The prices seem pretty fair for the quality of food. If you stop in here you wont be sorry.

Worker was polite with my Mom. Very helpful. Clean an easy to find most stuff. Prices are fair.

While they are usually convenient due to the fact that they CLAIM to be open until midnight, they randomly decide to close earlier on certain days.

Good selection, especially compared to many other grocery stores in the area. Can sometimes get pretty crowded

They dont even know how to treat people.... never going back

They have a wide selection of everything here for excellent prices. Conveniently right out of the 1 train.

Very good selection, easy to find what you need. It does get crowded, and staff make an effort to get you through quickly. But it would be faster if they spent less time following people thru the aisles. Good supermarket otherwise.

I really do love the supermarket great employees, but I cant wrap my brain around the fact that Food universe will have certain prices for certain things and not others, like for example, theyll have a 12 pack of Coke on sale and not Diet Coke 12 pack. Such a joke what does Diet Coke have more cocaine that it never goes on sale with reg. Coke products. Foolishness really. Ill buy it somewhere else henceforth. - Yvette (disappointed customer)

Some of the cashiers are nice but many times I come across one I say hello to that will not say nothing to me but the next person behind me they will say hello and be polite in Spanish. They guys and other workers are very friendly and polite.

This is a good market with the best selection in this neighborhood... I am short though and often need to ask for help to reach things that can be stacked up pretty high...just logistics

Price is not as you might think

The stuff is allowed the place need organized and put in prder

Theres some cuties in there especially the chocolate 1🤷🏿‍♂️🤣😍😈😍

Decent store. Good produce selection.

Love this supermarket they have items that other supermarkets never have!! Including Jamaican, Spanish and Asian cuisine items!!

Terrific grocery store, they have everything. Just wish the check out lines could move a little faster.

Surprisingly large grocery store with a good beer selection. Some of the cheapest Three Philosophers in the area! Open later than C Town too.

Went smoothly and fast! Eunice its very nice.

Food Universe: an above-average selection of universal-American, Asian, Mexican and South American Groceries. Are you looking for an interesting, cheap to try? Check. Hosting a sushi party, but forgot the wasabi? Boom. Live in a five-floor walkup and dont feel like lugging your groceries? Pay a nominal fee, and theyll send someone out the door with you, to help!! This place would absolutely get four stars, if there checkout experience ran a bit faster, and if they brought back their awesome loyalty program--you used to get dollars off your total with a few hundred points, where $1 =ed 1 point. Twas incredible! Lastly, they have a very friendly deli-counter staff...Dont forget to stock up on deli treats, here. ;)

They have a large variety of products from good to low quality for the most part it is nice that the facility is open late. Although the posted sign say 12 am they will close 30 min before the indicated time. This is not a place to be during rush hour because you will be waiting at the register for awhile and dont expect help from employees they all look like they have a chip on their shoulders.

Love my local supermarket, they have quite a wonderful variety of many products from around the world. As a Cuban, they stock Hierba Buena which I can use to make my mojitos in proper form. Been shopping here for years always find something new and interesting to use when Im cooking or making drinks!

Ive Been Patronizing This Shop For About 2yrs And All I Have Experienced From The WOMEN Cashiers Is Rude Obnoxious Behavior! They Talk About Me In Spanish..Called Me An Ugly Monkey A Few Times And Always Say Negrita Es Muy Mala?!? They Dont Even KNOW Me To Be So Hostile! I Really Like The Deals Food Universe Offers And The Male Workers Are SUPER Pleasant Towards Me. Im Always Courteous And Polite w|The Workers There But Yet And Still The WOMEN Cashiers Are Nasty! They Throw My Food In The Bags..Never Say Youre Welcome Wen I Say Thank You. They Dnt Even Make Eye Contact w|Me.Earlier 2day A Black Female Cashier (Maybe African And Had Brown Crude On Her Teeth) Rang Me Up 2day And Was Rude. Ive Been NOTHING But Nice To Her. I Have Even Called Her Beautiful A Few Times But It Seems The Rest Of The Hispanic Cashiers Has Warped Her Mind. Its Sad Really Because We Are ALL People Of Color!I Really Like This Store But Idk If Ill Continue 2 Shop Here w|Blatant Racism And Cattyness So Prevalent.

It gets the job done. Take pix of the good sale signs. . . Dont let em screw you.

Love this supermarket. The best

Good deals to be had. Always well stocked, but to a fault. The lanes are always congested with excess product. ALWAYS.

Very clean and organized. Absolutely love to shop here every single time

Luv it...offers a diverse marketing experience for all family sizes with an array of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Good quality, everyone is friendly and its not expensive. They also have free delivery.

Decent prices but it is always sooo busy and there are never enough cashiers!

Pretty decent sized store with good selection. Could use more organic fruits and veggies though.

Great fresh produce....a little.pricy but good in a pinch

This groceries store overcharges, and the people who work there arent very friendly at all. The cashiers act like they are doing you a favor, to ring up your items. They are constantly speaking their native tongue of Spanish, judging you for the products you purchased. And they will try to laugh at you for the way you look. Since I am a thick woman, I take this as being highly offensive. Cashier you are there to wait upon people and ring up their items. Not judge them and then talk about them in Spanish where they cannot understand and rebuttal your comments of them.... not cool......

Because it has a great good products and nice ambience.

Just took a walk through this supermarket and was impressed to see the wide variety of products. Will probably buy something next time I visit to see the wait time.

Awesome produce selection. Very fresh. Good selection overall. Some of the cashiers seem annoyed with life, however.

Decent place to shop overall. My only complaint is the lack of open registers. It take a while to check out even in the express aisle.

The people at the place are very rude they dont like have idea where that stuff is located theyre not really organized

Long lines to pay. Only two lines were open on Saturday at 6.30 pm

Pretty vast selection of items. Its a supermarket, if you want a fun experience youre probably in the wrong place. Its a pretty packed store, so have a plan in mind before shopping

My wife Went to get food for my child and the black cashier lady was rushing her. She happened to leave her debit card at home by accident and they cancelled the whole transaction without her telling them so. She was on the phone with me as all this was happening. She was gonna punch in my card number and he said they dont do that (but the other manager has done it without the physical card before). So She was gonna have to pay cash. She tells the manager to rescan because she never said to cancel anything. He said we close at 12a.m. Ok. And ?! It was only 11:40pm. They had time to rescan everything. So they started rescanning and she told him to please change that attitude because this is not good customer service. He said she got issues. She was already having a horrible week and was trying to be nice but his comment pissed her off. Shes a sweet person and always shops there. So he said to go shop somewhere else that hes not scanning anything. Shes telling him that this is all food for my daughter and he didnt care. He said they not scanning anything. (Now we’re home with nothing to give our daughter until another supermarket opens in the morning.) So she cursed at him and push some of the food towards the floor because he was being a total ass for no reason. Calling her stupid for telling him “how to treat a customer,” so she called him a juevon. Those cashiers there talk more than what they work. Its crazy at the level of disrespect these little managers give becasue they think they better than other people. Yeah ok. My wife is a medical assistant moving onto nursing. Youre just a manager. You have a job. She has a career. Stupid asses . Smh. Dique not to shop there anymore. Like who are you exactly dude ?

The staff is wonderful and the selection is good. Clean, friendly, and efficient with fantastic hours and a perfect location.

Always packed but I find everything I need

An average tightly packed grocery store in Hamilton heights. I go grocery shopping here regularly but its nothing to get excited about

Very friendly staff, great prices, and diverse products to choose from. Located right near the northbound 1 train exit.

I enjoy shopping there but my only minor complaint is they need to try and have all the registers open at all times.

They have items I have never seen. Fantastic teas plus more.

Veggies and meats, are always fresh. And proficient sales associates.

Good prices!

There pretty cheap It really depends on item between there and target I usually get everything I need they have alot of sales every Thursday they start.The lines be a bit much at times

Surprisingly broad selection of foods. Exceptionally good fresh produce.

A pretty large place with great selection, not usually a long wait for checkout.

Pretty good supermarket, good sales and deals. Checking out can be a bit slow at times though.

This place is extremely racist and treat black people differently its ran by Dominican bigots who think they can belittle folks who arent their race. I will never spend my money here again. They have a delivery boy who is black and the things they were saying about him was the vilest things anyone could ever say ex Making him work harder then the others.

Best thing.... they are open late

They have great selections both healthy and cultural! Love it!

Products are marked up over retail price and value, express lane is the slowest line to wait on, seems like theyre catering to gentrification of the area but even white people catch on to the over priced bs.

Has everything. Good prices.

Non diversital shopping expwrience large variety in selection of giis prixycts but, staff is primarily Hispanic and rhey arry on conversations with ezch other instead of paying attention to tbhe customers.

Prices are decent. Staff is helpful. Mainly rude civilians ruin the shopping experience.

Keep an eye on the screen as cashier scans your items. You might end up paying a higher price then the one you saw on the signs throughout the store, even when you scan your discount card.

Unbelievable this place smh. Really stupid people!

Great variety of Latin american cuisine. Prices are a bit expensive.

The range of products is great, though quality isnt always as satisfying. Cashiers were generally kind and helpful.

Very good, plenty -lots of specials a nice place to shop.

Decent pricing and a great variety of products
