“This is my favorite place to shop, even the pharmacy has kind friendly people. I try to stay away from one person’s cash register line, other than that this place is clean and I love shopping there, not because they are always stacked, but because the staff members are pleasant.”
“We got a flat tire in the parking lot and one of the staff members, Matthew, went out of his way to help us. He helped re-inflate our tire and saved us the cost of having the tow it. Exceptional customer service!”

“Great fresh fruits and vegetables that I enjoy eating weekly from this grocery store. The deli in the store also provide very good lunch options so stop by treat yourself sometime, if you haven’t done so already.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Genevieve. Every time I visit the store, she is welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help, but during my most recent visit she went above and beyond anything I expected. Genevieve took the time to listen to my concerns about stress, weight gain, hormones, and overall health. Instead of rushing the conversation, she asked thoughtful questions, shared her knowledge, and helped me understand possible factors that could be contributing to how I was feeling. She explained the benefits of an alkaline-focused approach, printed out information for me, and even helped me create a simple plan for what to eat, what to avoid, and where to start. What impressed me most was how much she genuinely cared. She made me feel heard, supported, and encouraged. A month later, I was sleeping better, feeling better, and even fitting into clothes that had become too tight. Genevieve has always been helpful whenever I've visited the store, whether I had a quick question or needed guidance, but this experience truly showed how dedicated she is to helping people. Her knowledge, kindness, patience, and willingness to go the extra mile make a real difference. Employees like Genevieve are rare. MOM's is incredibly lucky to have her, and so are the customers she helps every day. Thank you, Genevieve, for taking the time to care and for making such a positive impact.”
“Friendly service, quality meat, and great taste. Clean shop, careful packaging, and good hygiene. Special thanks to Peter and the whole team! Highly recommended.”
“Max Pecherskyi was great. I come to this location pretty often and he consistently stands out. He’s always fast, friendly, and keep the line moving even when it’s busy. I’ve noticed they stay calm with difficult customers and still manage to be polite and helpful. It makes the checkout process way smoother than at most places. Employees like that really make a difference in the overall experience. Love to see him every time I come in.”
“Large selection of groceries and a good bakery. Near a lot of other stores in the area. It can get a little busy on weekends, but checkout is always easy. The facility well is organized and kept clean. Big parking garage connected to the store. Some local buses pass through.”
“4 stars for 4 reasons 1. One of the best if not the best Asian store located in Gaithersburg. This place offers a lot from different cultures such as Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and etc. 2. They not only sell food but sell products like rice cooker, utensils, pots, and much more. 3. Fast check out during a weekend 4. Cheap prices on produce for sure! Minus 1 star for 1 reason 1. Super cramped in some areas and not spacious like other Asian stores I’ve been to.”
“I like this place, they have fresh bread and delicious. The employees are very nice and friendly. They are very polite and respectful.Godbleeing you and your family as well.”
“While driving home from the h mart, I saw the sign for the Patel brothers grocery. Out of curiosity, I decided to check it out. Beyond the groceries, what caught my attention was the little kiosk with different finger food/appetizers like samosas. There are so many different varieties. I didn’t recognize other items but definitely the samosa were amazing. Since then I always stop by to get some samosas when visit the H mart next door”
“I have enjoyed seeing this place growing from a much needed Ethiopian store in the Gaithersburg area, to a authentic Ethiopian restaurant. I have enjoy both take out meals and / or dinned in. Wonderful decorated with beautiful Ethiopian paintings in there cozy space , The menu has one of the best Ethiopian meals I have ever enjoyed. They have a varity of things in the store section. Ranging from Ethiopian clothing, spices, Ethiopian bread, organic honey and so much more. Amazing customer service. Its been wonderful to have a store with such diverse and unique items.Always glad to Support small Business.”
“Hi! I’m a FIRM believer in giving credit when credit is due AND acknowledgement for a GREAT work ethic (very rare these days). VALERIE is quite fantastic. I live in the neighborhood and shop at the New Design Giant quite often. Whether she is checking people out or at the self checkout area, she has always been most helpful and seems to always “go the extra mile” to be of service in any way she can. I SO appreciate this and I’m sure others do too. Like I said, I’m in the store often so to see this consistency and to take notice of it and then prompt me to write a review, well, that should definitely be a sign to management. Be kind to her and please give her recognition she deserves!! This means a lot to employees - don’t forget that! Thank you Valerie for trying and making a difference!!”
“Very good Latin store love the fresh mango and the store is very clean. All the staff is friendly and it when I step in I feel like I'm back home in my country shopping in a local store.”
“Wonderful store with friendly employees. A solid selection of uncommon foods and flavors. A bit Goya heavy on selection but there are still authentic imported items. Fresh Bakery items are a gem. Some things are a bit pricy but I get it. Small store, expensive items.”
“The store is now under new management, and after speaking with the owner, it's clear there are many exciting changes to come. Great prices and friendly people.”
“My wife and I stumbled upon this place while we were driving around and loved it! The owner was so sweet and walked us through sections of the store and let us try some new food and now we love baobap! Absolutely come and check it out!”
“I've only been here once but it was exactly what I was looking for. Very authentic and hit the spot. A little expensive if it was for one meal, but the time I saved not attempting to cook this was worth it. I had the beef and potatoes, rice and beans and actually had two meals worth so it was definitely worth it.”
“The Deli staff was quick, friendly and professional. The shelves were stocked. The only drawback is that there was only 1 human cashier. Started out 4th in line; were 7 people waiting when I was done. The cashier was quick but 1 person can only do so much.”
“I really liked this food store, with its wide variety of products from different African countries. I bought fish ? and peanuts there, but you can find many other things as well.”
“My go-to for all last minute pantry items, beer, wine, sodas, farm fresh eggs, fishing supplies, fresh fruit and veg, tobacco, and charcoal. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. I love living so close to this shop.”
“The food was outstanding, and the service equally impressive! The ambiance is charming, and the staff is warm and welcoming. It was my first time trying Sri Lankan cuisine, and I absolutely loved it.”
“Everything here is great, except that it took 15 minutes for soup to be put in the microwave... But other than that, so good! They just seem busy, and need to hire more than the one lady working in the kitchen. Cute couple. Always friendly!”
“I shop here every 7-10 days to buy food for my family childcare home. I must include whole grain food on the menu at least once a day. I used to be able to buy Multigrain Cheerios here, but for some reason Aldi (at least this one in Gaithersburg) doesn't carry it anymore. Bummer. I also have a hard time finding the whole grain mini bagels and the WG brown rice that Aldi used to stock all the time. New manager who doesn't find the nutritious benefits from whole grain products?? But I do like the savings I get when shopping here. I feed 7 of us so I rarely have less than a full cart when checking out.”
“I shop at Aldi, but I go to Lidl because have more name brands; a bakery where you can buy fresh croissants, donuts, rolls and breads; a nice selection of imported foods from all over the world; and usually have a big selection of cut flowers and plants. The produce section is extensive and offers more options than Aldi. They also have several aisles of tools, household and garden products similar to what you would have found at Big Lots. I always check the freezer section for amazing treats and imported foods, and typically see something I want to try.”
“This market is highly recommended, It is a very clean store and the owner is very pleasant and corteous with a very nice welcoming his clients. The store carries a variety of international groceries .Thye also serve take out hot food Lebanese style and Persian style. Above all the store is very organaized and deserves a 5 stars rating.”
“For the diaspora living in Maryland, this shop is a cure for homesickness. Here we can get typical Indonesian foodstuffs and dishes. We can even request what we want to make. Every Saturday and Sunday they sell dishes and cakes such as chicken noodles, dumplings, nasi Padang, pempek, meatballs, lemper, croquettes, klepon etc. There is also a small booth that makes food with different menus every week, such as typical Bangka sweet martabak, typical Jakarta gado2, kangkung noodles, etc. You really have to come here because as far as I know this shop is the only Indonesian groceries store in Maryland. Hopefully the shop can be enlarged so it can accommodate more customers.”
“I want to take a moment to sincerely thank the manager and security team at this Giant location. During my visit today, there was an intoxicated man speaking very inappropriately to me in the store. The staff handled the situation with professionalism, kindness, and care. What meant the most to me was how they repeatedly checked in to make sure I was okay and felt safe. My safety was clearly a priority, and they went above and beyond their job responsibilities to ensure that. I’m deeply grateful for people who don’t just do their jobs, but show up with compassion and awareness especially when it comes to keeping women and others safe. Thank you so much for creating an environment where customers truly feel cared for. It meant the world to me.”
“Sayasi at the front desk, Hillary the cashier and Human cart helper we're very helpful and kind to me. They are are excellent at their jobs, honest, professional, compassionate, personal and cares about the customers which I am proud to say I am one of them.”

Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions.
