Fresh International Market

Be very careful when checking out at this store. I stopped by today and picked up a few items. While placing them on the conveyor belt, I wasn’t paying close attention. After I got home and reviewed my receipt, I noticed something alarming—one of the items listed was not what I actually purchased, and it was priced at nearly double. What’s more concerning is that the cashier didn’t scan the barcode. Instead, she manually entered a completely different (and more expensive) item. Even more troubling, this is not the first time this has happened to me at this store. I had the exact same experience last year. At the time, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was an honest mistake. Now, I’m not so sure. My advice: Either avoid this store, or watch the checkout screen very closely and verify every item before you pay.

I always love coming in here. They have a great selection of drinks, food, snacks, even sake! It's also not too expensive. I can leave with an carry basket loaded down with ramen, chips, drinks, and more for under $70.

To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised to find such a clean Asian supermarket here. In my experience, aside from a few good ones in Chicago, many Asian markets can be pretty messy. The prices here are a bit higher compared to those in Chicago, but still acceptable—after all, Chicago is quite far. The store is well-stocked, neatly organized, with clean floors and bright lighting. There’s also a hot food section, but it wasn’t open when I visited—maybe because it wasn’t mealtime. Oh, and they even have Onigiri To-Go inside! Haha.

Honestly, it's meh. The store is clean enough for AZN standards I guess. I wouldn't hand out the cleanest awards or the best bathrooms when the trash cans in the bathrooms are over full. The selection was fine and the pricing is what you'd expect, higher than smaller mom and pop shops but the store is mostly clean and well kept, well lit. The store has AC while some smaller places might just leave the door open and have a fan blowing air in. Not sure if this store is in its death throws or just underperforming at the moment. There were zero diners, although the cooked food area was completely bare, none of the trays had any food in it. No one was even behind the counter. The fresh fish area was also baren, although the fish is allegedly buried "under the ice". The bakery section is unstaffed. When I went in on a Saturday morning there was a couple packs of bakery goods. When I went back late in the afternoon on the same day, they finally had the case filled with baked goods sourced from Chicago. I can't help but feel they just aren't applying themselves completely and just barely clinging on to survive perhaps? Not sure if this was a post pandemic thing or not. The last time I visi

I’ve only been to this supermarket twice, and both times I ended up buying expired food — once it was a seasoning, and the other time Shin Ramyun. I can’t understand why products that have been expired for more than three months are still being sold and don't know if there are any other expired products. Never mind. Never go there again.
