“A great Ross location I'm Foster City near VISA headquarters, easy accessible via HWY-92 & 101. As it was the Thanksgiving week, it was somewhat more crowded than usual. They got so much more stuffs than the one in South Bay, I got lucky as I came up to see have my annual physicals at the San Mateo Medical Center. I was able to pick up an enameled cast iron Dutch oven, and a couple of loose stretchable knit shirts. Happy Camper?”
“This market offers an amazing variety of Mediterranean food, including delicious snacks and bakery items. Everything is top-notch in quality, and the customer service is excellent—always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend checking it out!”
“The staff looked at me, and i looked at them, and they looked at me, and I looked at them!
Im jk, I hit the button for service and someone came by in under 30 seconds. I was there for a pickup. The beginning did happen, idk.”

“Pierre is the man! Great little corner store that's a diamond in the rough. Hands down the best place to get craft brews. A vast selection of high quality choices to explore at prices argueably cheaper than other local establishments. Pop in, say hi, and dont be afraid to ask for some insight.”
“The World Market offers a diverse range of goods at competitive prices, providing consumers with access to a wide selection of products. Check out the Want Want Chinese New Year Gift Pack 32oz!”

“A great local community store and my favorite spot to get a nice cold drink. Heard they’re retiring, Congratulations on the retirement Jim & Tina, well earned! Enjoy the sunset now.”
“I decided to visit this location for the first time yesterday since Whole Foods is nearby. The location was a bit hard to get to because from where I was going, you needed to turn left onto Hillsdale court rather than Hillsdale Blvd. At the store, the clerks were very helpful and friendly. One lady told me what the store's favorites are from their recent tasting as well as the customer favorites. One of the recommendations was spot on. I had a few bottles in mind coming in and checked all the bottles on the Vivino app and was able to narrow down on some bottles. Great store and friendly staff!”
“Karen is super cool, and there are always friendly people enjoying a meal when I go here. Its some of the best Pho I've had, straight-up homemade, comfort food. The Banh-Mi is good, and the vietnamese style breakfast is legit. Unassuming location being a liquor store, but the kitchen is visible and these people know what they are doing.”
“’ve been coming here for years, and this is my favorite liquor store.
Sukhveer Sharma always treats everyone with kindness and respect, no matter who they are. He makes every customer feel welcome.
The store is always clean, organized, and easy to shop. The service is always friendly.
Good people like Sukhveer make a big difference in the community. I highly recommend stopping by. Thank you for everything you do
Regards.jose”
“I went into the store looking for a great wine and found Lake Sonoma Cabernet at a very reasonable price. We absolutely enjoyed this wine and will definitely be back.”
“Avenue liquors and Market is the sweet little corner store. With lots of quick items to go. And of course relaxing beverages for your 4th of July 2026 weekend
They also have the sweetest store clerk that you'll ever meet on the planet. She's mostly dark with a few bits of white. And weather in front of the counter helping and greeting people throughout the store, or behind the counter making sure everything is running smoothly. Can be counted on to be a terrific, pleasant, and caring store clerk.
I recommend a visit here whether you're stopping in for some lotto tickets or getting a cool drink during these hot days of summer. And thank you ivy for being the best store clerk ever!”
“Great prices for beer, wine, and liquor in the Bay, and the owner/staff are very friendly and receptive to feedback / inventory requests. Awesome place to stop by right off the 101 on the way up to the City haha. Plenty of street parking too!”
“I live in the area and to me the store is perfect and convenient. Has everything we need, and open late so it’s great to grab snacks for movie nights and energy drinks for late work sessions. Only piece of feedback that could make the store even better is if they had fresh produce to offer. Berries, avocados, mangoes etc — in nice euro bins outside. I’d go 3x a week because then I could walk there and get veggies to cook dinner with”

“Nice store owner and a great place to grab your lottery tickets. I like how he doesn't berate you for scratching the tickets in his store, he's super chill, and he provides you with a trash can to throw out your non-winning tickets.”
“I like this store. The variety of beer is solid and always cold. They always have chilled wine available. The employees are courteous. I am glad they are in our neighborhood.”
“(Translated by Google) I found what I was looking for and the person who attended me was very kind! Yes, I recommend it!??♀️?❤️☺️(Original)Encontré lo que buscaba y Muy Amable la Persona que me Atendió! Si lo Recomiendo!??♀️?❤️☺️”
“Seems to be the only place in the Belmont/San Mateo area where I can find 40s and 4 lokos! Just down the walkway from the fantastic (and fantastically overpriced) Piazza's, Liquor City offers all of the typical liquor store items like jerky, beers, wines, spirits, lottery tickets, etc. all for a decent price. I love to get a sandwich at piazza and grab a beer here! It's also good for house parties! I'm definitely a Liquor City frequenter when I'm home in Belmont on school breaks! I'm still waiting on a lottery win from the place though! We shall see . . . Definitely worth going to if you have any liquor needs! It gets the job done the right way!”
“When there's no nighttime public restrooms available in a five mile radius thanks to the destructive nature related to the homeless crisis, Safeway fights back and keeps the restrooms open and clean. I am proud to support this Safeway with my business! We can't let evil win. We must set the example, as this Safeway does, of taking back our cities from those that would destroy them.Thank you so much!”
“This is a great local spot with a good selection of beer, wine and liquor. The store has a pleasant vibe and the window at the entrance, along with a skylight, leaves it filled with natural light most of the time. A full range of tobacco products is also stocked. The nice gentleman that runs the place will be happy to order and start stocking anything you request. The prices aren't as good as the discounts at Safeway but if you need something real quick, or especially if you need something ordered that you can't find, this is the spot for it.”
“Had to stop by here on the way to a Friendsgiving party, though i saw the bad reviews I actually had a pleasant encounter with the cashier. He was wearing a 49ers Jersey so had to give him a compliment! The transaction was quick and the conversation was great! Will have to go back!”
“Would give 6/5 if possible for how organized they are each time new merchandise drops. The team here is totally on top of it. Also just one of the bigger and more efficient TJs that I've been to when it comes to the overall shopping experience.”
