Only non-Asian supermarket left in the neighborhood. They have a pretty good selection of items and you should be able to get most of your grocery shopping done. Sometime the register lines are ridiculous and people don’t understand the meaning of «10 items or less». But they make that up with the attitudes of the staff. The staff are very helpful and assuming that the store is not too busy they will often lead you to the item you are looking for.

Meat good. Food good. The sole purpose of this review is to announce that they have my favorite Coca-Cola– Mexican Coca-Cola.

As mentioned, it is the only supermarket in the vicinity to carry American products. I usually bypass the produce because all of the Asian markets have more variety and are usually fresher and cheaper. If you need deli items, this is the only place in the neighborhood that carries a full range cold cuts and cheese. They don’t even attempt to compete with other markets for fresh fish — there is none. The bread selection is OK and they always have pita. I appreciate that they carry large size plain yogurt. No other store — including premium markets offer this. A fair ice cream selection, as mentioned. My experience with the cashiers has been largely positive. They seem to make consistently good choices as to who they hire. Most are pleasant, patient, and helpful. They are the reason for the third star in my overall rating. I do wish they would finally fix the rear entrance door as it has not worked for years! It is what it is. Cannot compare it to the masterful, H-Mart on Francis Lewis or Fairway — which is my overall favorite grocery shopping experience.

In all fairness, I gave Food Plus Supermarket a 3 star because, as another Unilocaler mentioned, there aren’t many good supermarkets in the area .Foo Plus(as the sign on the side of the building says because the D fell off years ago) is as about as good as your going to get. They have a good selection of products and sales, the deli section is good, clean etc. but as a working person I cant help but to notice that this place seem to be a revolving door. Especially since this girl who used to be a cashier is now, i dont know, she seems to be acting like a manager. All the knowledgeable cashiers are gone or are with thier hours trimmed to bare bones. Cashier at a supermarket is not a lifetime career for anyone, they must be working there because in this economy jobs are not easy to find and as anyone who works there will come to learn, obviously not so easy to keep.

Pros: Good selection of grocery, organic is available too Nice deli Great stick of cereal and breakfast staples Not expensive Cons: Very crowded if you go between 5 and 7 pm Hope they had health foods and natural foods too P. s.: Agree with Leslie. I have the same experience with the manager. He is not appropriate. He does the same things to me. Makes me uncomfortable too.

I come here to buy non-asian foods and for their sales. Their frozen food section is amazing and there is always sales on something in that section. I especially like their dairy selections and ICECREAM!!! Oh be warn their milk and eggs are pretty expensive here. Their produce aisle is great but selective. There isn’t a lot to choose from but they do have prepackaged salads and fruits. Their produce is fresh and very very healthy. Sometimes they sell a certain produce and sometimes you don’t see them selling it the next week. Their American snacks options are amazing. This supermarket is the only market in the area that sells Hispanic snacks and groceries. They also have a large bread selection that sells any type of bread and bagels that you want. Their deli sells cheese, meat, and whatever a typical deli sells. They also sell premade lunches now i.e. sandwiches, salads, chicken wings, etc. Pasta and breakfast aisles are huge and amazing. Lots of pasta and cereal choices to choose from. Their meat selection are limited and small, but they sell decent packaged meats from beef to turkey. The best part of this supermarket is their frozen food aisle. Love their cheese, yogurt, frozen dinner, frozen foods, ICECREAM, and tortillas that they sell. The only supermarket in the area that sells different type of cheeses and ice creams. The Asian supermarkets doesn’t sell different types of cheese and American type ice creams. Overall I love this supermarket but I only come here when there is a sale or need cheese for a recipe or craving ICECREAM! Oh this supermarket doesn’t carry Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. They sell Haagan Daz, Breyers, Blue Bunny, Krasdale, and other brands. Otherwise it is pretty pricey as compare to the Asian supermarkets in the area. You should come here to buy what you can’t find in the Asian markets.

The supermarket itself is decent, but too small. It does not offer as many products as I would like it to. I definitely like their new deli section though. They offer pre-made sandwiches and salads that are reasonably priced. I would have given this place a higher rating if it were not for the annoying Caucasian manager who works there. He’s this heavy set man who acts very inappropriately whenever I enter the supermarket. Every time I enter the supermarket, I swear, within five minutes or less, I always find him standing near me. He always whistles or hums to try to get my attention. Whenever I see him, I always scowl and walk the other way. I do this every single time, yet he still cannot take the hint. Every time I am at the checkout line, he always walks over and stands at my checkout line to try to bag my groceries. I always ignore him. I don’t know what else I could do to get him to stop bothering me. He makes my shopping experience very uncomfortable. I wish he would grow up and act professional. I would shop at this supermarket more often if he wasn’t such a nuisance.

Ok, living in Flushing sucks when it comes to a decent supermarket. There are NO decent supermarkets in the immediate area. I mean ones that have EVERYTHING you need. Food Plus is probably as close as it gets to a decent supermarket. Unfortunately it is small, so they don’t stock everything you need. But here is the run down. The meat is fairly a good selection. Better than Met Food not too far away, but not nearly as extensive as Western Beef. The produce is small, but good nonetheless. They have a decent grocery section. WAY better than Met Food. The dairy and the frozen are small. They share an aisle so you get half of what you would at a bigger supermarket. It is easy to walk to, they have good hours and if your driving, they have a parking lot in the back. The prices are average. And the employees seem to be nice. The deli is good, and they even make sandwiches for lunch. Awesome!
