I really love to try international market, especially when they offer a lot of fresh produce. I used to always go to seafood city until they shut down and get produce, sauces, and noodles. I like to look up recipes while I'm in the store for things that I don't know how to use them. This encourages me to try new things and there is a lot of that in the store. So much that I would have to go back five or six times a month to even get a month full because there is so much stuff that I want to try. I highly recommend checking the store out if you are a foodie or chef because it will definitely make you a talking to your creativity!

Amazing selection of asian items will go again. Got a lot of cool drinks that I couldn't find at the other Asian markets I've been to the largest and smallest in the area they have some unique items.

Do NOT shop at this establishment. Known racist behavior. Tried to shop at 2 different occasions and was repeatedly harassed.

Smells really bad like rotten fish the moment you walk inside the store, had to hold my breath the entire time. It's dark and cluttered, too much stuff everywhere and very messy, including the cashier lines

Bought a faulty item from them.Noticed it was broken in the parking lot, before I even got in my car.When I tried to ask for a replacement or refund I was told I sabotaged it and should have checked it before buying it. They were very rude and laughed at me about the hole situation.I will never be returning and I suggest no one else does either.

This is place just makes me sad. As a Californian who almost exclusively goes to ethnic stores, I'm shocked this place is still up and Seafood City isn't. It smells, it's dark and cluttered. The meat and seafood section is especially heinous. The meat doesn't even look fresh half of the time I'm there. My mom got fish that smelled bad by the time we got home. Keep in mind it's cold now and we had an hour in between that and home. That is not enough time for supposed fresh fish to spoil.

My wife, an African-American, purchased a watermelon on Wed 9/13 at the Olive Supermarket at 8021 Olive St. By Fri 9/15, the watermelon started to mold and parts of it were getting soft. We attempted to return it on Sat 9/16. I followed the instructions from a cashier about speaking to someone about a refund.We were advised that the refund policy on fresh fruit was 24 hours. The receipt did indicate that in small print if read with a magnifying glass with a light. The print was faded indicating the cash register tape required changing. However, this appeared to be an opportunity to challenge the reasonableness of this arbitrary policy. A 24-hour refund policy should indicate their knowledge of their products are so good that they know what to pull if the product is overage.I'm Asian, a native of St. Louis my entire life, and am aware of the notorious reputation for Asian businesses not to issue cash refunds. The reasons are many but that's a story for another day. I told her not to expect a cash refund but to do an exchange for something priced similarly. What was particularly annoying was the Asian female who was older than the rest of the employees whom I assumed to be a part of the ownership group asked my wife why she picked a "bad watermelon" (which I interpreted to be a racist comment). Really!! My wife is professional so the "hood" didn't rear its ugly head.I didn't hear about this until we were a few miles away but yet not far enough way, I considered returning to the market. It would have been an interesting site to see an Asian go off in my "adopted ethnic origin based on where I grew up" on another Asian in a town with a very small Asian population. The takeaway is to not buy any fresh vegetables, fresh meat, or fresh fish unless you plan to cook it within 24 hours from Olive Supermarket. With the odor that occasionally emanates from the fish area when I shop, it reminded me of Seafood City. Oh yeah, Seafood City closed earlier this spring due to contamination issues. No problem buying canned goods, sauces, dry noodles, etc. I recommend shopping for Asian groceries at Pan Asia Supermarket at Manchester and 141. There's no odor, most everything is fresh. Don't know what their return policy is on fresh foods, etc.Oh yeah, I exchanged the watermelon for a bottle of soy sauce.

I just had the worse experience at Olive Supermarket. The Customer service is a 2 out 10 please don't be African American on a Wednesday night at this store. The cashier was extremely rude, I had vegetables and couldn't find any bags where the vegetables were.. i found some later after walking around the store so i just sat them in my cart. As i approached the register, the cashier yells " YOU CANT HAVE THOSE" .. i explained that i needed them for my vegetables, he says " you can have one, here" no thanks for coming.. not even a receipt. 0.5 out of 10 i don't recommend.. imiss Seafood City, never had this experience there

Found a little gem today that made my home cook self very happy! Wandered into this Asian market and discovered food treasure! Amazing selection of quality produce at great prices! They had a wonderful meat department with fresh, frozen options of a wide variety of proteins. I also loved that they have quite a selection of home goods / kitchen equipment. Some of the shelves had English translation. Some did not. A lot of items were unknown to me -- makes me want to learn other languages just so I can shop more widely here! The shelves were well stocked, and the aisles laid out as you would expect for a grocery store. There were aisle signs in English, which helped me immensely find what I was looking for -- loose teas, noodles, fresh produce, spices, and proteins (I decided to make broth - fingers crossed!). The parking lot was super busy on a Saturday afternoon with folks of all ages and backgrounds. I needed careful maneuvering around all the people and cars coming and going -- that tells me it's a local favorite. Love it! I was just really happy with the quality of the items, along with the amazing international selection that I bought for the price. I'll be visiting again to explore!

This is a large Asian grocery store that has pretty much everything you'll need from fresh seafood, meats, produce and non perishable items. The have a big selection of frozen items, liquor and houseware items like steamers, woks, bowls, plates, etc. The store is clean and well organized. If they don't have it, you probably don't need it.

Spent $40 with them but won’t be spending anymore. We have been looking for a liquor store close to home (just moved) will not be this one ! The clerk (possible owner) was rude , rushed us, and got upset and told me to focus on swiping my card when I was looking QUICKLY at things on the counter that I also was interested in purchasing (and no one was behind me or in the store) I thought he would be happy that I was trying to add more things. Will not be back.
