Such an incredible place! the meat department is tops, featuring fresh caught fish and imported meats (grown under different standards and much healthier and tastier) and fresh REAL bread. The prices on many items are much better than big box grocery stores and the merchandise is usually items not found anywhere outside Europe. I am surprised the place is not busier than it is. What a gem to have local.

Great variety of Eastern European foods in a warehouse like setting. The place is hard to spot from the road. Park and head to back for main entrance. Place is okay for the West Coast, but east coast places like net cost and Tashkent supermarket are several notches above.

A great place to find many eastern European, Armenian and Russian grocery items. Large selection of beer, liquor and other items as well as fresh bread (still warm if you get there at the right time).

Cool store. It’s a big warehouse/costco style market with a separate meat and bakery section. It’s filled with tons of imported goods AND tons of alcohol which was really unique. Huge selection of really exotic Armenian, Mexican, Russian/Ukrainian wines and spirits and even beers. Nice freezer section too. Produce was priced really cheap too. Only bad thing I’ll say is the entrance is hard to find and you need to watch out because some imported goods may be close to their ‘best by date’ (not to be confused with their manufactured date). Overall, 5/5 store I’ll definitely be back

Great place for different kinds of Russian food. They have prepared food and refrigerated food as well. They also have fresh fruits and vegetables. They have a huge selection of candies, chocolate, sweets, etc. This is also the best place I found to buy Russian dumplings for the cheapest price. The staff is nice and the selection is big of many different things but with more focus on Russian tastes.

Great place for Russian food among other international food and drink. Store format is simple with metal shelving with decent labels. The place is a little awkward to find the entrance and to walk around part of the building from the parking lot, but not terrible.

The place to go for a nice mix of Russian, Polish and Armenian groceries. LOTS of alcohols. Very good Meat market in the rear as a separate room. Decent fruit and vegetable selection.
