“Quick grab & go merchandise such as cheddar & shredded cheeses, Ken's Balsamic Dressing, Grandma Dutch Brownie Cookies & Rock Creek Ginger Ale, Strawberry & Peach Sodas but I'll pass on buying the last 2 flavors cause it was only carbonated Kool Aid with 3+ the sugar.”

“One thing for sure is that military life has some drawbacks, but from time to time you come across some pretty awesome benefits, and access to exchanges and commissaries is definitely one of them.
Whenever I'm up in the Northern Virginia area near the five-sided building with five rings and need to stock up on supplies, I find that the Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall Commissary is quite a bit more affordable than the local Harris Teeter. While it may not be as massive as some of the larger commissaries around the country, it's certainly not small either, and it's very well stocked across the board with most of the groceries and household items you might need.
On this particular visit, I picked up a few essentials along with some grapes and a little cheese. I also made a stop by the hot bar, where I grabbed some rib pieces and barbecue wings. Everything was fresh, and it made for a great meal to enjoy outside on a beautiful day with the weather cooperating perfectly.
One of the things I appreciate most about this commissary is how easy it is to get in, find what you need, and get back on your way. The selection is solid, the prices are competitive, and the store is generally well maintained. Whether you're doing a full grocery run or just grabbing a few items, it gets the job done without any hassle.
If you're in the military, eligible to shop there, and happen to be in the area, it's definitely worth stopping by when you need groceries. The savings can add up, and it's one of those benefits that reminds you there are still a few perks that come along with military life.”
“Actually an eastern European & Balkan & Turkey store, not just some russians pretending to be Europeans. Smallish, but you can find some pretty interesting stuff here and broaden your horizons a bit.”
“Very good small supermarket, with fresh produce and lots of Latin American products. The papaya there was the best I’ve ever had in DC. Let’s support these small stores that make DC streets more interesting!”

“No complaints... Aldi is the no-frills, minimum investment for highest yield grocery store
A lot of random, one shipment only finds...
Housewares include pots, pans, silverware, glassware, mugs, coffee station supplies, bakeware and baking supplies
Also gardening tools and supplies... seriously!
They have indoor and outdoor furniture and even plants, flowers, herbs in pots and bouquet flowers!
They have greeting cards for holidays and special events
U can almost always find organization gadgets and items
They have some supplies for vehicles
They have pet toys, gadgets and supplies
This truly is 1 of the most random store I've seen! All stores don't have same inventory; some have larger selections
BUT a lot of stuff is low quality soooo choose wisely!
But it's best 2 shop within first week or so, when items come in season because employees say they can't order additional inventory
AND their systems are so antiquated that data isn't accurate... systems may show amount in stock but store may be sold out!
☆☆☆ READ FOOD LABELS ☆☆☆ A LOT of items have genetically modified ingredients! Also bio-engineered ingredients!!!”
“I placed an online order with Aldi, and the entire process was fast and easy. I used my phone to place the order, and it was ready for 📱 pickup within just a few hours.
When I arrived at the store 🏬 , I parked 🚗 in the designated pickup area. My order was brought out in less than three minutes! The Aldi employee was friendly, polite, and efficiently loaded my groceries 🛍 into my vehicle.
Overall, it was a convenient and hassle-free experience. Great 🌟 service and excellent pickup process. I will definitely use Aldi's online 👍 ordering again.”
“It was the best food , specially the Godn tibs which is recommended by the server. The server was very knowledgeable about the foods and gave us an excellent service,”
“I love this place. I can get craft beer and Asian candies at the same spot, and pair it with Belgian lambics. K-1 is a global market to service your refined snacking and drinking needs. They even do postal service and lottery games. Don’t miss out!”
“This grocery store offers an elegant shopping experience with easy access. There are always great deals on a variety of items, making it a top choice for both convenience and value”
“Clean with pleasant staff members. The produce looked fresh and there weren't any fruit flies (a problem I noticed at the Waldorf location on a number of occasions swarms ?). They did not have a single banana but had plenty plantains ??♀️. I prefer this location over Waldorf due to the cleanliness and the staff member handled my items with care. Typically cashiers try to ring so quickly that they bruise my fruit because they toss it into the cart. Thank you for handling my items with care. Keep up the good work!”
“The staff and owners are friendly, very understanding, helpful and truly a people person. They keep a great stock of various American, and a few Asian delights to try. Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Kim, your brother and the staff for providing such a hospitable experience every time I am there along with others who walk through your door.”

“I had an excellent customer service experience with Terron. After waiting in a long line, he greeted me with a smile and was overall very pleasant. Because of this, I felt comfortable enough to ask him about an item which was not stocked on the shelf and which was the primary reason for my visit. He told me he knows it is in stock and if I would like for him to grab it for me. Needless to say, I was taken aback by this above and beyond offer and quickly agreed only if it would not create trouble for him. He finished ringing up my items, disappeared for all of 30 seconds and was back with options of the requested item for me to choose from. The customer behind me wanted the item, too, and was happy to get one as well.
Hire more people like Terron. He is exemplary!”

“The parking lot is sketchy, there’s homeless folk, drug users and people begging for money passing through. Thankfully, the security guards and hard working staff here make up for it with their smiling faces, positive attitudes and efficiency. There’s a Hispanic lady who’s manager during the day. I can’t remember her name but she went above and beyond to help me locate my cell phone after I accidentally left it in a shopping cart. In my experience, customer service here is excellent and continues to exceed my expectations.”
“World Food / Alem Gebeya is more than just a store — it’s a true community hub for Ethiopian and Eritrean families in the DMV area. The owner is incredibly kind, and the customer service is always A+. They carry everything from fresh injera and gluten-free injera (the best you’ll find anywhere in the DMV!) to quality meat, spices, and other authentic food products. It’s the perfect place to shop for all the essentials, and you always feel welcomed like family. Highly recommend!”
“Each Peach is such a cute find. Definitely pricey, but a great spot for good quality produce, dairy, and extra things such as olive oil, spices, specialty chocolates, coffee, etc. Staff is also super friendly and helpful!”
“Really Great store I give it a 10/10, great prices and you have a variable of foods available. Staff is really friendly and ready to help out. Really recommend this place.”
“This store is really clean and the food is always fresh, fruit as well.The staff is friendly. They will quickly open another line when it gets out of control. Plenty of parking and its Wheelchair accessible..Safe clean store.”
“Amazing customer service, a true neighborhood gem. Very kind staff and owner. Everything you need for cooking, baking, entertaining all in one place. Meat is fresh and prepared with care by the butcher. Great local business to support.”

“Spacious and clean atmosphere. Good selection on most major grocery brands and priced below othe major grocery stores in the area. Surprisingly good produce selection.”
“Quaint Hispanic Grocery store located in a nice residential neighborhood. This location offers a good variety of spices and other foodstuff needed for authentic dishes. They didn't have everything we needed but it's a great small business to patronize nonetheless.
This store is best visited by public transit or by foot since there is limited street parking.”
“Seekie is the owner of this market and she is always so happy when people come in to shop. The store is well stocked and clean. It is easy and convenient for the neighborhood.
Went in to grab a couple of ice cream pints - there was a great selection!”
“I have been here plenty, and I love there Customer Service, which many African owned businesses lack. I’ve encountered different workers here, all were friendly. And they play Good Music. May God establish this place in Jesus name”
“My favorite supermarket, I haven't bought anywhere else, I've been here for 5 years and there is always there, I do my errand, there's everything.”
“This store has everything and prices are pretty decent. Very good to the neighborhood especially being that many may not own a vehicle and most of the residents of this community are of retirement age or a little younger. Very convenient and clean.”
“I love that this store has automatic doors I don't have to use a glove but to pick up my items. I'm 3x high risk and this place is Less packed FOR ME far more than grand mart capital plaza and food way. I LOOOVE they practice COVID-19 safety precautions and they have everything neatly packaged. I came here for something small and I found the spare ribs I've been searching for for eeoons smh, I'm telling you don't sleep on these international markets they have everything your giant,Wegmans etc has and stuff you can't find!!! . So I've been getting my ribs from here, they sell their beets INDIVIDUALLY!!! (Can you see my excitement lol) which I love because I can't always afford the whole thing or need the whole thing so it helps they have mushrooms/peppers all produce individually and weigh it pretty smart if you ask Me. This place is clean, the seafood department I'm definitely going back they keep it on ice as required, fresh, the Men are very helpful throughout the store they even go above and beyond if they can't help they'll ask someone else which is dope. I get so much stuff esp if I'm making my noodle bowls this place is better in every way in my opinion I don't have a complaint yet. They have a great selection of Lamb,Goat,Oxtails and it's affordable. They accept all payments btw they seriously have live swimming seafood in the Tanks I was uneasy at first and wtf but I got used to it but you won't regret any Purchase made here!”
“Fresh food, fruit, and vegetables. Plenty of shopping carts and parking. They sell bags or you can bring your own.Like most of these stores, they should continue to open lines quickly when its get packed.”
“I 'very been going there since 2004,same store staff mostly the same, good guys, but this is a neighborhood landmark in the sense that, you are likely to run into a neighbor, friend, Peron you haven't seen in a while... OK so most neighborhood stores, who can only stay in comparison with the Big Stores, when the people in the neighborhood can't get to the store or don't feel like all the people on the grocery stores, but now of our stores are fair on some thins and outrages with others... Should out to the staff at Northeast market. A. K. A. "24 hour store" Tell them Redd's sent you... Everyone knows as that there!!! Shout out to Trinidad/Ivy City...”
“This store is clean, always has alot of cool items in stock outside of the food. Chairs, grills, candles etc. Food is fresh staff is friendly and the store is really clean.The only issue is they could open more lines when its packed at this location.”
