Food Bazaar Supermarket

Wow. They have an amazing selection. Was even able to find natto in the international frozen section.

I went here today for the first time and would like to clear up my big misconception I had before I got here:
This is not a big box Asian grocery store. Not even close. I came here hoping for Asian groceries and was sorely disappointed, although their Korean selection is quite good for the most part.
That being said I found a lot of cool ingredients and my visit here was not a total waste. I am kind of a snob about produce and did not purchase any here because the entire section (which is adjacent to their meat and seafood section) is SWARMING with flies. I don’t know if this is just a summer thing or what, but it certainly was unappetizing.
Cool stuff I found here:
— burdock root
— premade arepas, a WIDE variety
— many different varieties of queso fresco
— tons of brands of coconut milk
— cassava flour and fufu mix, many types
— astounding variety of hot sauces — I picked up a scotch bonnet and scorpion pepper sauce and they were extremely hot
— kimchi from New York, which I haven’t tried yet, but will post update once I do (I’m very particular about good kimchi)
— rice cakes (better variety at other Asian groceries)
— firm silken tofu, also shirataki tofu noodles & wonton wraps
They did have some daikon and other typically Korean veggies that didn’t look very appetizing (also, flies).
I honestly don’t think the prices here are all that low. But southern CT is generally expensive everywhere I have found.

LOVE this place! Reasonably priced with an incredible assortment of eclectic meats and products you can’t find anywhere else. We go here to get pigs feet and skin for our big Italian Christmas. From traditional Mexican hot chocolate to Turkish Haydari, you can explore!

In my vacation last year 2014 in ct I visit my friend for thanksgiving so we when there for shopping & cooking that day

I fined all we need and good prices all Latino ppl work other I like it nice friendly butchers and cashiers

Lots of items and sizes that are not available in other supermarkets. The in store bakery is pretty good. Prices are not bad, but most of their sales require a minimum purchase. Checkouts are a little slow because they never seem to have enough registers open.

Northeast Bridgeport has a large Korean population. This supermarket is Korean owned. The store caters to Koreans and Hispanics. If you normally shop in a white neighborhood store, this store is not what you’re used to. I shop here occasionally.
PROS:
The produce dept. has more variety, better quality, and lower prices than I’m used to. The meat department has real butchers, not boys dressed up in butcher outfits, and the product is always fresh because there’s a high turnover. The size of the fish dept. will wow you. You will especially find many whole fish, some large. One look at the fish will tell you the Koreans insist on freshness.
CONS:
This is a big store, but the aisles are narrow. For a fish dept. this size, I expected more variety. There’s only one type of salmon and one type of tuna. I prefer Stew’s. Other than that, if you can’t read Spanish, you may have trouble with a few of the labels.
CONCLUSION:
It’s good for what it’s good for. If you’re in the area, check out the produce and the fish dept. If your making Jamaican Oxtail Stew, this is your butcher shop.

This place is like a giant NYC bodega. There are some unique ethnic foods here, and lots of prepackaged goods from Mexico, Argentina, Guatemala, Korea and a couple of other countries. I didn’t look at the meat or produce. It’s pretty grimy and kind of a sad place overall, not the type of place I’d go to get fresh products. I can’t say I’d stop in here again since it’s completely out of the way. Just happy I finally found the achiote paste I’ve been hunting down forever.

This was my first time at Food Bazaar. The other reviews are right. The fish selection is HUGE and the prices very reasonable.
I went there in search of cheaper produce and while some of it was comparable to Big y or Stop and Shop, most of it was quite a bit cheaper.
Their breads and pastries are also really good and very decent in price.
This has become my go to place for groceries. no doubt. Worth the drive from Monroe.

My quest for fresh fish brought me here, a 30 mt drive from my home. It was well worth the drive. As I was focused on getting fish this review n rating is based on just that. I was in fish heaven. The sight of all those varieties was exciting and exhilarating and put me in such a happy mood that I walked away with 4 different varieties.
I grew up eating fish 6 days a week and the true test for this place came when it was time to sit down n savor. Yes they did taste as fresh fish should taste & now I have a trusted friend in Food Bazaar for all my fish needs!

I also tried Food Bazaar after the closing of my favorite produce store Food World. Yes, they have a large fish/​seafood department and yes, they carry a lot of ethnic foods, but their produce department doesn’t make it. They don’t have a lot of the produce that FW had and it is very disorganized and crowded. The prices of the produce are a hell of a lot better than Shop Rite and Stop and Shop, but they need a produce expert to go in there and explain how to do it right. I truly miss Food World.

I went here with high expectations, but what I saw was a store with a lot of spoiled looking food. The fish department smelled fishy with fish that had clouded eyes, the meats were dark and look like they were going bad and the fruits were very old and in the process of turning.

So glad I found this place!
AMAZING, HUGE fresh seafood department. All kinds of stuff I’ve never seen anywhere else in the area. Fresh sardines, tile fish, large unfrozen octopus, john dory, whole prawns (with heads), three of four different types of mackerel. And to top it off, very reasonable to low prices. Food Bazaar makes eating fresh fish so much more affordable!
Very nice fruit and vegetable selection with lots of «ethnic» choices. The weekly special prices can’t be beat. I’ll be looking forward to coming back to explore some of the «ethnic» food isles — there are lots of ‘em.
If you’re passing through Bridgeport on I-​95 or live within reasonable driving distance, definitely try to find an opportunity to check this place out.

Love It!
Products from various places such as Jamaica, India, Germany, Poland, Mexico, Japan and many more.
Their bread is off the hook! Their fish section is great!
Love It!

I came here the other day after going to multiple Indian take-​out restaurants, grocery stores, and an Asian market, hoping to find Ghee. No luck! The only «Indian» section they have is West Indian. You would think that in such a diverse area they would have some sort of Indian section! I have to say that I was disappointed, but I sucked it up and made it at home. At least now I know not to come looking for those kinds of ingredients here, but this place is still awesome.

Look out Stew’s and Whole Foods! This place (thankfully) took over what had been a long-​empty Shaw’s and turned it into a neighborhood gem. It’s kind of like a bodega exploded into a gigantic supermarket! Incredible meat and fish departments, ethnic aisles (not little Stop ‘n’ Shop «sections’), great prices, and clean. Lacks some amenities (you bag your stuff yourself), but it’s big, complete, and a welcome relief to the supermarket homogeneity of CT… where else can you buy Jarritos soda in a supermarket? Must be seen to be understood.
All that, and it’s across from a Home Depot if you need to pick up some sheet rock too…
