There’s always piles and piles of fruits and vegetables! They often have big sales to clear this massive produce inventory. The quality can be hit-or-miss.
A lot of Chinese shoppers travel between Dinho Market, H-Mart, and this City Farmers Market because of their differing specialties. Try to avoid coming to these markets on Sundays cuz that’s when the Asian moms does their weekly grocery shopping 😜.
City Farmers Market - carries predominantly Vietnamese and Thai products on their shelves, but there are also a large section of Hispanic products since this market is within walking distance of a large Hispanic populated residential area. I get most of my produce like Aloe Vera and lemons from here.
Dinho Market - carries predominately Chinese products (specifically tea and traditional medicine). It’s for this reason that Dinho could withstand the competition from the other two massive markets and managed to outlive 99 Ranch Market and Asian Supermarket. Their produce section is the cheapest but not very fresh. The only produce I ever buy from here is garlic since it’s so dirt cheap (like $2/lb which ends up being a few cents since garlic is so lightweight 😂😂😂)
H-mart - carries predominantly Korean products (it also carries a lot of Japanese products). It also tends to have higher end goods like lobster. The kitchenware and home goods here are generally better quality than the other two stores. The produce here is usually more expensive than the other two, though.
Hoa Binh Market - carries Vietnamese, Thai, Malaysian, Indonesian, and Chinese products. My family used to shop here before H-Mart and City Farmers Market appeared. Dinho has a better selection of Chinese products and now City carries an even bigger selection of Vietnamese/Thai products. They have a small BBQ food place inside which may have helped the store survived this long but that might change now that Best BBQ has recently opened at City Farmers Market. (Update: They expanded their seasoning/spices section and added several racks for them. This store now carries the most variety for curry. I do get the impression that Hoa Binh is more selective in the brands they carry since City, which often carries the cheapest brands, can very...
Read moreIf you’re looking for an exciting grocery shopping experience that goes far beyond the basics, City Farmers Market in Chamblee is a must-visit! From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a vibrant atmosphere full of color, flavor, and variety. This place is truly a gem for food lovers and home cooks alike.
One of the best things about City Farmers Market is its impressive selection of international groceries. Whether you’re searching for Asian staples like fresh Thai basil, lemongrass, and a full aisle of soy sauces and ramen, or Latin American ingredients such as dried chilies, tamarind, and masa, you’ll find it here. They also carry European imports and Middle Eastern pantry items, making this market a global food adventure under one roof.
The produce section is massive and well-stocked, with fruits and vegetables that are often fresher and more affordable than your typical chain grocery stores. I especially love how they carry exotic items like dragon fruit, rambutan, and fresh herbs in bunches that last longer and cost less.
The meat and seafood counters are also impressive. The staff is helpful, and you can find cuts and varieties not typically available elsewhere. If you enjoy cooking unique dishes at home or simply want access to fresher ingredients, this...
Read moreI am in Atlanta for work. I am not 16 so eating out is not good after 2 or 3 days. I consulted my good friend GOOGLE, and I was suggested another Asian Market. So I made it there only to find out that Market was no longer in business. So I ended up asking a local and he recommended City Farmers Market. What a JOY. I got some items so I can prepare meals in my room. It has a large variety of Asian and Hispanic food products. The Meat department I found it to be clean good looking. A large selection of Instant noodles and products from VietNam. Its a shame I could only get certain items. When I go back home I dont want to check in luggage, so I must not have liquids over 100ml. The main HIT or FIND was a Banh Xeo Skillet. I spent a hefty amount, but well worth it. The Kitchen ware department is a dream come true. Highly...
