First let me start off with the good. They have a great price on flan and an impressive selection of international foods. I went today to take back some cheese I purchased on Sunday and did not have the receipt. I asked the cashier about returning and she said that she could not take it back without a receipt. So I asked just to be clear, if I found the receipt could I take it back. Then she called another associate over to converse with him in Spanish. Then he pointed to the date and since it wasnt expired that he couldnt return it even with receipt. I then motioned to him that it was the smell. He then smelled it and offered it to the next person in line to smell. He then called the manager over, who have very well also been the owner. He did not engage me initially so I waited in line. I thought he was fine assisting the previous customer so I began to say ok sir, he then held up his hand and rudely said wait wait wait! I did so, and then explained myself and the situation. He then said even if I had the receipt that he wouldnt return and if I had a problem then call the manufacturer. He then pointed out that the bottom of the receipt states the return must be within 24 hours. What offended me was the lack of respect afforded to me as a customer. This store is extremely convenient to me as its literally thirty seconds away by car, but with this experience, Ill take the majority of my business back up the road to Kroger.

Great selection of Asian and Central/South American food. The prices are very competitive, and the service is friendly. I live about 30 minutes away from this place, but make the trip about once every 2-3 weeks. Its worth it. The mexican food here (made to serve) is AMAZING! I would give it 6 stars if I could. Make sure you try it out if you go. Its authentic to the core. And it does help to speak Spanish when ordering. The couple who owns Food World is also very friendly and people of high integrity.

They have reasonable prices for world international food, but one of their cashiers is really rude- she never smiles and only allows the baggers to bag for her own people. If you are of a darker complexion, she will not call the baggers to come and bag the items( especially if you have a lot of things). Watch out for her.

Not the cleanest world market, BUT you can pretty much find whatever foods you need and I appreciate the variety of all types of foods: african, hispanic, asian, and even european foods. Customer service is ok; their cashiers are rude at times.

Awesome store with a great selection of Asian and Hispanic food and products. If youre interested in a store that looks real and is stocked with merchandise you wont find at Wal-Mart, this is the place for you. Great ethnic store!

Got all the international products I need! My one-stop shop for any African goods, same goes for pretty much any Tropical country, meats, produce, correct plaintains, drinks etc etc the need some solid shopping carts tho

Everything Caribbean I need!! Stuff my grandmother used to cook is in there!! I get so excited when I go in there. It gives me that Island girl shopping in Brooklyn feeling.

Grocery store featuring Mexican and Asian foods. In-store restaurant, cheap vegetables and meats, as well as a large variety of foods make this a good shopping place.

I tried to give this place another shot and a lot of their things were expired. This is not a place you should go if you expect edible food or good customer service.

Two words. GREAT SAMGYEOPSAL. If youre Korean or like Korean food, thats all you need to know. But its a good price per pound, too. Staff is nice, too.

Poor produce, very limited selection, and is a weird hybrid of a Family Dollar store/grocery store. Very dirty.

Patrick Jackson

Good prices on some things, but selection is limited and cleanliness of store doesnt match food lion or others.
