Prime Bazaar

★★★★☆ 3.5 (10)

"I love prime bazaar! It's convenient, clean, and they're always fully stocked with the essentials. They even offer curbside pick up. When ordering curb side I've placed my order maybe an hour or two before and it was ready quick! Just what I needed. Also, once they were out of stock of what I needed but the staff mentioned they'll get it the next day - and sure enough they did! Super friendly."

Lyons Supermarket

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (3)

"I was going to tell you all about this grocery store, but if I told you I knew any details, I'd be Lyons to myself.This is the convenience store to the east of downtown in a pretty low-rent area. It's a little rough but it's not too bad.They have pretty high prices on stuff, and that can be expected from any given convenience store as you would expect. It's a bit shady going in and out oftentimes and that's why I tossed it a 3. Rather than the 4 I was considering."

Harvest Market

★★★★☆ 3.7 (68)

"The reviews hyped me up, but the service was a let down. Stopped here on my way to a meeting. I originally planned to eat at the establishment, but the way big delay for a burger and fries caused me to run out the door and not even get a chance to eat my food until after I drove home. The day I visited it was not even that busy to have a 15 minute wait for a burger and fries. Like seriously? While they were fresh, I was able to eat some fries during my meeting, but the burger was way later. Don't get me wrong- the price point for the burger and fries is fine, but you gotta season the meat! It was the most bland burger I've ever tasted. Even with mustard, the patty still needed salt. Tragic. I may go again when I have plenty of time to sit and eat and bring any dissatisfaction to their attention, but for now, 2 stars is all this delicattesan gets from me.."

Al Baraka Halal Meat & Grill World Food Supermarket

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

District Market Green Grocer

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"As we approach the holiday season, this is a great spot to pick up a few gifts & goodies without the pain of crazy crowds and the 15 minute wait for a parking spot. Tucked away in a little corner shopping strip off of 1960, they offer a variety of products from alkaline water to head wraps, fedoras, fruit, desserts, laundry detergent, soap & even a small frozen section- all black owned. The space is clean & spacious & speaking with the owner feels like walking into your local neighborhood spot-you know the one that asks how your weeks been & knows you by name. While they're building out, I'm sure the offerings will vary depending on the vendors holding shelf space, and although they're not YET a substitute for your grocery store run, I'm glad they're here & excited to continue to visit and watch them grow."

Watkins Center

"great boudain!!!!!spicy&mild homemade...this store has alot of old school foods,snack etc"

Hung Dong Supermarket

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (15)

"I had to stop here for the name alone, as well as Eddie S. (1.0) vouching for it. Because I am a very mature adult I giggled appropriately at the name. But they don't sell what you think! Even though the only thing I was thinking when I saw the bright lights illuminating HUNG DONG from the highway was Frank Reynolds' line from one of the best episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: "Whoops! I dropped my monster condom that I use for my magnum dong." They don't sell that here, but thanks for asking.I found this while on a brief frolic and detour from trying to find the Sam Houston Race Park for the Cirque du Soleil and being led astray by Siri for a few turns just within spitting distance of actually finding SHRP - he was promptly put in time out for that freshman move.I wanted to stock up on snacks that could be smuggled into Amaluna a la movie theatre style - I had the pocket depth for some real candy. Unfortunately I walked out empty handed. Nothing caught my fancy. Selection of snacks took a hit for one star and then the overwhelming smell that slaps you in the face as you walk in also reduced it a star.It's in a huge strip mall and parking is very limited. That might reduce star quality further.But if you use it as a waypoint when you try to find SHRP and Siri is sassin' you up with wrong directions, it's a good place to stop and look for snacks. Don't expect a five star assortment and be ready to become one with the overwhelming stench."

Katy Supermarket

★★★★☆ 4.1 (17)

"I saw this supermarket on my way to 99 Ranch and abruptly made the decision to check them out instead. the store just recently opened last month, so the interior was bright and clean. The produce was well organized, and there were several employees restocking the shelves as we shopped.For this week, I wanted to get ingredients to make California rolls, Banh Mi, Beef Pho, Spring Rolls, and Hot Pot, and was able to find all of the ingredients I needed here except for the French baguette for the banh mi. However, since it's right across the street from an HEB, it wasn't a major inconvenience. We also picked up some pantry items like snacks, tea, and instant ramen, and they had a really good selection of items to choose from.Overall, I'm happy to have anotrrrhueuoyroyoutoutoor Asian grocery store in the Katy area to choose from, and the prices are comparable to 99 Ranch and Hmart. Since they recently opened, the store is not super crowded right now either so it's a great spot to do some weekend shopping for the time being!"

Spice Bazaar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"The owner is so nice!! Everytime I go here he always takes time to help regardless of how busy they are. The store always has what I need and the prices are good for the area. Everyone in Riverstone should come here!!!!!"

Pyburns Farm Fresh Foods

★★★★☆ 3.7 (25)

"This probably is my new favorite place for boudin and dirty rice. This past weekend was the first time I got to try the spicy boudin and I have to admit this is the best boudin I have ever had in my life. Also I got to try the spicy dirty rice and it was the most authentic dirty rice I have tried in Southeast Texas. This place maybe a hole in a wall but it's a must if you want the best boudin and dirty rice."

Doosan Food

★★★★★ 4.6 (13)

"Doosan has great kimchi. Our family goes through three jars of the no msg kimchi every two weeks. We drive from the Woodlands area to get our supply and it is worth the trip. Staff is very friendly."

Mom's Farm to Table

★★★★☆ 4 (2)

"Small neighborhood grocery store with good produce options. The prices are on the high end, but the store is very aesthetic and quaint! Lots of natural light with large windows, and it is kept with clean throughout!! Workers are also bright and nice! Various vegetables, bread, and pastries. Didn't buy much because of the high prices but the croissant I got was fantastic."

Alameda Meat Market No 3

★★★★☆ 3.8 (6) • $

"A great stop when I head from College Station to my ranch near Weimar, Texas. I cannot pass through Hempstead without stopping here for breakfast tacos and menudo. With Tejano music blaring through the grocery store and the sent of fresh baked good floating in the air, all to serve as a great backdrop to fantastic breakfast tacos. The food is located to the rear and right in this Latino market. The variety of entrees are visible in the cafeteria style set up.The barbacoa is moist and tender. Chicharrons and carnitas absolutely amazing. All great fillings for a variety of available tacos served on corn or flour tortillas. The menudo is well flavoured and very filling. The tripas has absorbed much of the chili and very good.Check out the butcher section, looks amazing.Highly recommended."

Angelo'z

★★★★☆ 4.2 (143) • $$

"Angelo'z is a simple and basic neighborhood sandwich shop. I had lunch here a couple of weeks ago and ordered the chicken salad for $8.20 and made it a combo with chips and a soft drink for another $3 and change. The food was ready in about 5 minutes.The bread was fresh and the chicken salad inside was good with some cheese added. For the price and taste it was a good meal. Nothing fancy here at all but it met my expectations. It's counter service and friendly. I would return."

"Cute little store! They have everything, even clothing and gifts. Prices are higher than regular stores, but the friendliness and convenience makes it worth it."

Pyburns

★★★★☆ 3.8 (39) • $$

"Modest neighborhood meat market with a big surprise on the inside. What might that surprise be? There is a legit soul food restaurant just chilling by the entrance. Oxtail, fried chicken, boudin. Just name it, they got it. As far as sides go, I recommend the mac and cheese and sweet potatoes. Prices are super cheap too, so you can load up without breaking the bank. Everything I tried tasted great, including the smothered pork chops. If you're on a diet, please stay away! Or come on one of your cheat days!"

Pyburn's Farm Fresh Foods

★★★★☆ 4.2 (25) • $$

"I have family out in Houston. So when we visit, I often stop the meat market to get alllll of the offerings. I love their boudain variations, the chicken and seafood are my personal favorites. I also got some stuffed cornish hens and can never pass up their links and oxtails! They even sold this black owned seasoning called Moe's Magic Dust - Creole Seasoning. It's pretty much my universal seasoning for everything these days!"

The Cochran General Store

★★★★★ 4.7 (42)

"I cannot give enough stars. This place is quaint, amazingly thoughtful, kind to young customers, gives a generous pour - and oh, their food is amazing. It's truly a little gem in an unsuspecting place. Seriously, they could not be nicer to our family every time we are there. It's a bright spot in our week! Sweet potato fries are legit as are the fried shrimp. One of the best burgers you'll eat!"

Mama Food Market

★★★★☆ 4.1 (7)

"i don't know if this market is always so slow, or if it was just because it was a monday morning, but there was no one there besides the workers. they had a wide variety of foreign fruits and vegetables and other foodstuffs. (yes, i just said foodstuffs.) there were rainbow colored beans in one aisle, and funky drinks that some people's wildest imaginations couldn't even come up with. i got me some guava nectar (standard classic), and a bizarre pink drink that was rose flavored with basil seeds. i used to trick my white friends that bubble tea was tadpoles, and always got a kick out of the disgusted faces they'd make as i happily slurped it all down. well, i don't know if these are real basil seeds, or what, but these things really do look like tadpoles. well, if they are, they taste like tapioca balls and have the texture of ikura (salmon roe). anyways, i'm not dead, and i drank it yesterday, so i guess i'm a fan."

Paks Food Store

★★★★☆ 3.9 (9)

"C-stores are not the best experience typically and Pak's doesn't disappoint in that regard. It is not the best place to stop for much and reminds me of a very old 7-11. The building is not inviting and doesn't necessarily scream at you to pull in for anything they might have However, the bumping house music makes up for a lot."

Kickin' Kombucha

★★★★★ 4.8 (38)

"Loved this place, The tacos were great! Tortilla was amazing from the taco. Got two Barbacoa tacos, and one pork. Tons of local goodies, from local businesses and chefs Open parking, tons of spaces shared with other businesses. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Fresh coffee all day and assorted drinks too. Bomb playlistWould go back, would recommend!"

Anatolia Int'l Foods

★★★★☆ 4 (10)

"I never received warm customer service when I first started shopping here. But after seeing me visiting a couple of times, the store owner finally warmed up to me and my family. I never took the aloof customer service too personally anyways. I know that people may have language and cultural barriers. Anyhow, I like this ethnic shop because it carries a lot of unique and international grocery. Its not too far from where I live and it definitely beats driving all the way to Phoenicia. I still visit Phoenicia every now and then, but this spot is closer and its smaller as well, so it makes grabbing items quick. They have fresh cut meats and they also have fruits and vegetables. They have a nice dairy selection.. consisting of yogurt, labne and various European cheeses. I also like their spice selection as well. If you're looking into jazzing up your flavour palate, than I definitely recommend buying the spices here. They also have a nice candy and jam selection. I love buying the Turkish version of nutella here. It's the Ulker brand. They also carry this nice hazelnut spread which is delectable on toast. You can easily find a random and unique gift for someone here. All in all, Makkah Mart has something for everyone. It's a nice and clean shop that's tucked away in a quiet neighborhood."

Kwality Bazaar

★★★★☆ 4 (8)

"I keep on going back to get the paratha, which is oh-so-delicious. My next favorite is the chicken malai boti which is tender, juicy and flavorful. I always get it extra spicy. I had also tried the palak paneer which I think is better than a lot of places but I am not a big fan of too much cumin. The biryani's are tasty and a must-try, and I think maybe actually taste better the next day. I also tried the chicken samosa and the samaosa which were good but not my favorite favorite, but still good. Also had the seekh chicken kabob which has a lot of spices, which I also liked, but I think it can be a bit strong for some. The chicken tikka leg was ok to me. I think you get your money's worth on everything here though. Really glad this cafe is available for good Indo-Pak cuisine. The only thing I would say needs improvement is the card reader which starts off with Leave a Tip and you have to press the button to put yes or no."

Dejla Market

"They made renovations recently and the place is way bigger and more organized. New staff is very nice & friendly. Food still delicious and honestly the best Iraqi food in Houston."

Janak Country Market

★★★★★ 4.9 (7)

"I've been coming to this place for years. The sausage they make here is the best I've ever had. They have hot lunches they serve here too. They have bacon, wieners, steaks, dried sausage, smoked sausage, jerkies, canned goods like sauerkraut ( cold crock and canned) jams, jellies, cane syrups, honey, too much to list. They also sell things like quilts, handbags and other gifts. This is a perfect place to shop for gifts and Christmas gifts. They ship!If you've never been here, this is a "must stop" on your road trip!"

Tien Hung Market

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"Tien Hung is a small Asian grocery located in rather run-down shopping center on Beechnut and Wilcrest. This store took over part of the old Viet Hoa, which was in the innermost corner of the shopping center. When my family moved to Houston in the early 90's, I remember frequenting the old Viet Hoa on the weekends. With time, things evolved and Viet Hoa became one of the Asian grocery store powerhouses in its current location on Beechnut and Beltway 8.With Chinatown's busy weekend traffic, it's convenient to have a few smaller Asian stores like Tien Hung as alternatives for ingredients or supplies. Obviously don't let the run-down store or presence of peddlers turn you away, but always be cautious of your surroundings. Do as I do, quickly get in, grab what you need, and go! The storefront is not the cleanest nor most well-maintained, but they do offer a limited selection of seafood, meats, and produce. Occasionally, my mom comes here for Asian herbs and pho bones and meats to save time. Should you need ground pork from certain cuts or sliced meat, you can request those services from the butcher. Sometimes, the shrimp in the seafood section is even cheaper than Viet Hoa or Hong Kong.My favorite items to get are the homemade pork and shrimp wontons, which are made in-house daily. The wontons are located in the refrigerated section in the back of the store. For $6.50, you get a reusable 14 oz package of 32 wontons. Since I buy them in bulk and have to transport them 5-6 hours in the car, I freeze them as soon as I get home. Before eating the wontons, I let them defrost in the refrigerator for use the next day. These wontons are the perfect addition to make your own wonton soup with egg noodles, veggies, chicken broth, and whatever other ingredients you prefer. Everyone that has tasted these wontons loves them, especially during those cold winter nights.Another favorite of mine is the 25lb bag of Con Nai Bao Bo(deer) jasmine rice. I have purchased about 3 bags already because of how fragrant it is when cooking. Compared to other brands, this jasmine rice is more soft and moist, with a subtle sweetness. It's more expensive than other brands at $27.50, but definitely give this brand of jasmine rice a try if you're wanting a better flavor/texture profile.At the front checkout counter, there are a small selection of homemade Vietnamese goodies like: sesame balls, banh bong lan (sponge cake), and shredded pork & pork skin (bi). I haven't tried any of the baked sweets here since Parisian Bakery is right next door, but I have tried the tasty shredded pork & pork skin (bi), which is sold by the pound. You can use the "bi" as a spring roll ingredient, on toasted French bread, or to be eaten with rice or broken rice dishes. Don't expect friendly service and the cashier lady often tries to ask you to buy more homemade goodies. Like I said earlier, grab only what you need and be on your way.Consider Tien Hung as your local Asian convenience store. I frequently stop by when my mom needs a few ingredients for dinner to avoid the hassles of parking and traffic at Viet Hoa or Hong Kong. And you can always grab fresh French bread, pate chaud and sweet goodies next door at Parisian Bakery too. Less hassles and getting sweet treats afterwards = winning!"

Crossvine Market

★★★★☆ 4.4 (30)

"This review is for the cafe in the back. Umm, bacon - let that word start to resonate in your mind.I was hungry while driving between Houston and San Antonio. Not expecting much for being out in the country, I decided to hit up Yelp for lunch. Well, today was a lucky spin.Imagine a cold winter day. You're in the house trying to get warm. The only thing that feels good is a warm blanket. Why does this matter? When I opened my bacon cheeseburger, there was literally a bacon blanket covering the inside of my burger. As I closed the burger and brought it to my mouth for the first bite, it was like the music video for Loverboy's Almost Paradise song. I'm not even kidding -- not only was the burger solid, but there was an appropriate bacon overload. Some bacon fell out, but there was still plenty of bacon in the burger. Oh, and don't worry -- I didn't leave a fallen bacon behind. I will post a picture of the burger.I had ordered onion rings as well, but truthfully I never made it to them. I was full about halfway through my burger. I devoted all of my strength to taking down edible work of art. Man won with the burger, but the onion rings were orphaned. If you're driving between Houston and San Antonio, stop by. They take all major credit cards. It's only 2 minutes or so off the highway. I can't wait to stop back by this place. BTW, if you don't see any reviews from me for a while, I'm in a food coma."

Henderson & Kane

★★★★★ 4.5 (253) • $$

"I love a Henderson & Kane moment! The great BBQ and general store vibe work for me! Their chopped brisket and house-made sausage (all of them) are my favorites. I also enjoy the meaty mac and cheese. I enjoy burger night as well. Love that H&K is nicely tucked into the neighborhood. They have a great wine selection and love dining in when I can. All in all, great BBQ spot and a local favorite of mine!"

Arlan's Markets

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (37)

"I spend more time on the east end nowadays. Arlan's deserves a reprieve. Yes, they can be pricey, but the next closest super market is fifty one blocs away. somethings they're pricey on, but you can find some reasonable good deals. The east end is sort of a city all its own, reflecting more of the flavor of an east coast city than the expansive west of Galveston Island that has not entirely a suburban feel, but the most you're going to get for Galveston. Dont expect sushi here, but you might find ox tails, calf's liver, and chicken hearts."

Lankford Grocery & Market

★★★★☆ 4 (865) • $$

"Must Do!These are my kind of places!... Where the local go!Lankford is located in our Aunt's neighborhood in the heart of Houston. We found ourselves in town for a quick in and out job, and decided to stop by to have a lunch with the kin folk. Lankford is where there wanted to take us. It's been featured on the tv show Diners, Drive - Ins, and Dives. It was a late weekday lunch. It wasn't crazy busy. We ordered:Brisket Enchilada specialCheeseburgerOnion ringsI wouldn't say my burger was the "best", yet we enjoyed our experience with family at a local joint the most."

Dijlah

"This is a great grocery store, but wait there is more... the food is ridiculously good, fresh breads, the shawarma is amazing and done the iraqi style with (samoon) the iraqi bread. Must try don't miss out!"

Agnes Café & Provisions

★★★★☆ 4.3 (83) • $$

"What a change of pace for Houston. Where else can you order a Japanese rice lager, strawberry rhubarb smash, quiche, tart cherry sour (featuring whiskey, tart cherry shrub, and egg white), torrijas, fresh juice, Mexican coke, wine, fattosh salad, herbal tea, grilled cheese, and Cortado all in one spot (and I'm excluding food halls in this rhetorical question)! While some may ask if this spot is having an identity crisis, they suggest their menu is loosely Mediterranean inspired, and I personally think it provides a fun reason to revisit! My lunch was fairly simple- Americano with oat milk, lamb flatbread, brownie (how boring of me), which may account for why my experience was just fine. The lamb flatbread was tasty with the salsa, and while the simple greens provided a much needed textural crunch, I'd love a fresh/herbal element of an additional texture. The creaminess of some feta, or fresh addition of some ground mint would really blow this dish away.While I was there there were only 2 person studying on my visit, being relatively quiet at this time of day, I can see how this can be a beautiful study/remote work spot (with gorgeous light). The rest of the crowd consisted of duos (mainly female, with a few significant others seemingly convinced into joining).Overall, pretty solid spot! And bonus points to whoever picked the artwork, *chefs kiss*! I'll be back to try cocktails with a friend!"
