Its a maze of food but I think it has more variety than key foods. Open 24 hours has more foreign foods this is the reason for the maze of fun . . Go late at night to avoid the croweds. .Upvote3Downvote
Laurie AnnJanuary 29, 2014The chips and sodas are outside. There is no designated "freezer" section. More like 6 or 7 random freezers throughout. Some aisles are unmarked. Leave breadcrumbs so you can make it out alive.UpvoteDownvote
Great selection of produce. They have great grocery sales!UpvoteDownvote
Douglas SathlerFebruary 23, 2016Cheap and Nice place. Not packed and very close to the subway. Strongly recommend.UpvoteDownvote
Great Place with friendly workers. Also open 24 hours a day. A plus.UpvoteDownvote
Amazing selection, small isles, grumpy staff, decent produce. Pretty much your standard NYC supermarket.UpvoteDownvote
Is it sometimes painfully crowded and slow? Yes. Can you find cheaper groceries and an amazing selection of hard to find ethnic ingredients anywhere else? No.UpvoteDownvote
The wheat bread loaf is so fresh and so good that I don't recommend getting it bc you will eat the whole thing yourself!!! Nom nom Gulp!UpvoteDownvote
Mariam MahmoodAugust 26, 2014Open 24 hours! The selection is slightly lacking though.Upvote1Downvote- An eclectic collection of foods from many, many cultures. Great veggies, olives, and organic goods. Not much customer service tho.UpvoteDownvote

Have patience when you come here. Also, the olive bar in the back is great!Upvote1Downvote- The Good: Open 24hours, Large selection of ethnic foods, Great location right off the subway.UpvoteDownvote
Best prices in the area. Only go in the middle of the day or late at night to avoid the crowd and long lines.Upvote1Downvote
Taylor SkyeJanuary 14, 2013Busiest damn grocery store ever. Avoid it like the plague during peak hours. Photo was taken midway in line.

- They don't seem to understand the concept of bringing your own reusable totes. They always bag my groceries regardless. So frustrating.UpvoteDownvote
They have EVERYTHING. I once saw a can of iguana stew from El Salvador. Watch for expired food left on shelf.Upvote2Downvote
Rob GonzalezAugust 24, 2010Go late at odd hours to avoid the crowded aisles. Be careful of expiration dates - some food spoiled with mold. Great selection of ethnic foods. Rood and lazy customer service.UpvoteDownvote
tell yourself this everytime you come here...patience is virtue. then punch someone in the faceUpvoteDownvote
Best and cheapest deli department in town!UpvoteDownvote

Trade Scare is more like it. Narrow aisles, slow witted, slow moving employees. Slow witted slow moving shoppers. If this place wasn't next to the subway I don't think they'd even be in business.Upvote1Downvote
Best time is from 10-11pm. Actually decent service.UpvoteDownvote
Steven BakerMay 1, 2013This place is dirty and terrifying. It smells horrible, the staff are slow, it's too small, and oh yeah, IT'S DIRTY.UpvoteDownvote
Josephine PhanOctober 30, 2011Has got to be a fire hazard in this place. It's like a maze. And the aisles are so narrow. Never again.Upvote1Downvote- Like a bazaar in Islamabad, only smells worse.Upvote2Downvote
Emily CintrónMay 27, 2012Crowded, dirty, smells like cat pee. And rude on top of it. Just go to Key Food.UpvoteDownvote
Overcrowded and painfully slow. Go to Key Food just down 30th ave.UpvoteDownvote
