Ha ha ha. Sigh. You know, I am the master of the one-star review when it is deserved IMHO. I have read a lot of the bad reviews of this store and frankly agree with most of them. I have also read some of more favorable reviews and can't say I agree or disagree because they are about aspects of the store I do not know about. All l can tell you about this place is that it may be a dump, but it's MY NEIGHBORHOOD DUMP and I like it. Well, at least I do shop there. Sure, they are not that helpful. They don't seem to like anyone who isn't middle eastern, but of course they will still take your money as long as it is the right color green. They do a lot of that "No speaky Engrish" here and they don't keep things in stock as reliably as one would hope. I once had their security guard (who was way shadier-looking than I am) follow me around! I am a long-haired freak and I love the surprised looks I get from the elderly Armenian people I get when I walk in here. But you know, where the fuck else am I gonna get my stately Russian Kalinov tarragon sodas (especially with all that shit that is currently going on), low-salt deli olives, special organic hummus and tahini, Ezekiel 4:9 cereal flakes (only place that still carries it), Bubbie's dill relish, French President brand butter and cheese, organic Ak-Mak crackers, San Benedetto mineral water in glass bottles, Fresh! rose drink from Bulgaria, Mamma Chia drinks, etc. Oh, sure, some of these things can be gotten elsewhere, but these are all things I look for and are there in one place! Excellent choice of imported candies also! Armenians and Persians are big old snobs about chocolate, y'know. Not everyone who works there is a jerk either. There used to be a really great guy there that was genuinely concerned about me after my hospital stay a year ago. Even some of the snootier cashiers have been nicer lately because they know me now. The owner of this place was unpopular with the locals because she carries some Turkish products. This is totally hypocritical though because I have seen many of those same brands at the various local mini-markets that serve the community. I hope that has been resolved by now. These people know food and have healthier habits and finer tastes than the typical American honky, although they are given to foibles and vagaries just like anyone else. Take it easy on Golden Farms, eh? Try it if you haven't.

This market is really gross, it has a stench that makes it hard to comfortably shop. A lot of stuff on the shelves is old and to top it off the people that work there are always rude.

0 star honestly. They sell spoiled rotten produce. Just don't go there. Their store policy is just stupid. "We sell cheap so buy at your own risk" This store is just "SCAM". Be aware.

today I went to this market for to buy food. The food was old not fresh and disgusting looks was from few days before. A lot of shelves were empty or has filled with older items like bread sections ,I bought some pomegranate and I paid for it. l need to use the restroom. I left my pomegranate next to cashier when I came back it was disappeared. I asked cashier what happened? She said manager took it when I ask cashier i need to see manager they refer to each order they scared and I became sure he has abusive behavior andD they worried to lose their jobs to call him and I wait for cashier to call him but she didn’t. she making me to wait I went to security I asked security he couldn’t find him and he told me look around to find him or look around meat department again I came back and I ask number nine cashier and she went and she brought for me some other fruit that she chosen for me and I did not want it and I asked for my money back after she paid me money I went and picked other fruit and then I came back. instead of simply apology or sorry word The manager with harsh sound and gang ester behavior came to me and ordering me do not yell or attacked my people, and I did not do anything wrong I did step by step officials order ,that their security cashier, and customer were my witness, and I told him, and he rejected to give me a service, and he took my fruits and didn’t let me to buy. This place has rude and mismanagement . I will not go there anymore. I hope the city inspector or health department check this shop ,or at least close it . I hope new market open this place .please find another market that has friendly and knowledgeable employee and not rude management .No star no star

Prices are good, but the products are not. I bought chicken liver twice. One time it turned out to be chicken stomachs the second time it turned to be chicken hearts. I tried to call the store - no phone pickup.

I'm here to add to the negative reviews for this place. Customer service does not exist here I really don't know how they are still in business. Both the owners and manager, Armen are rude as hell and don't care about their customers. I shop from there all the time and so today decided to tell them that the last two times I bought watermelon that was awful and ended up in the trash. Just to be clear I wasn't asking for my money back I just wanted to let them know. In response the rude arrogant manager told me not to shop there anymore. Clearly they don't care to lose business. What a joke. I'll be glad the day this place goes out of business.

I am coming in this store for these cheese,it's really good and yummy.But the owners are AWFUL,No respect to customers,NO Customer service,no management.Last week I was buying a lot of grocery,as usual,did my check out,and also bought a "Guiness" bottled box of beer as well.But left my beers over the cashiers counter,and she even didn't tell me or notified after me that I left my staff.I was wandering this couple of days there is my beers,did it disappeared....???So today went there and asked the cashier,but the lady who helped me wasn't there,so I asked the cashier who was checking me out,and she told me that Silva told that somebody left the beers ,and I asked the OLD LADY THE OWNER,SHE AGGRESSIVELY ANSWERED ME,THAT SHE DOESN't know anything,I told het in this case who is responsible for customer service???She is like,she didn't tell me anything,usually they are putting here and letting is know...Oh really ???I didn't want to fight her for a 12$ box beer,but I told her I'll come back again,to see the "Silva"...If they didn't give me back my beers or my money back...I will call the police for sure...Cause this is fraud and they are stealing people money.Their workers seems they are working there by force...People who had bad experience with food you need to call BBB ...They need to shut the store or check it for sure...

This last Monday, October 9 2023, I had to learn the hard way how arrogant and rude Golden Farms management is. Their policy for the time during and after the pandemic was to sell the customers their plastic bags, not allowing them to use their own ones.This was a huge amount of plastic sold and eventually dumped. A few months ago, they started letting the shoppers to use their own bags, but they were supposed to be left at the entrance of the store. Today, I asked the manager, why I have to leave my bags at the entrance. His answer was: \

Stepping into this grocery store will transport you to an alternate reality. A place where perishable products can sit in room temperature refrigerators. Empty unstocked shelves are common. Expired produce and meat stench fills the air. And rude, untrained personnel can ignore your requests. The (sometimes) low prices do not justify choosing this establishment - and judging from the lack of customers, you will soon realize that you're not alone in that decision. The most outrageous part of this store is their no reusable bag policy! It's a circus

I'm here to add to the rest of the hundreds of negative comments made about this store. I was recently charged twice for my goods which totaled more that $100. The owner as well as employee refused to void the double charge and take ownership of THEIR mistake. It's just unnecessary. It's about the principle of the matter, and I view this as theft and will be handling the situation as such. I walked in explaining the situation in a nice manner, but to be met with absolute rudeness and derogatory behavior from the owner was disgusting. As a customer who would bring her friends and family to this store on a weekly (if not daily) basis, I will no longer do so.
