This would be a marvelous store to shop at, even in a major hub like Brooklyn NY or Washington DC. The fact that it is here in Winchester, VA is practically a miracle, but one I am truly thankful for. Their fresh fish are amazing (look for a clear eye and an ocean scent!) Their vegetable selection of global greens is wonderful -- I love the baby bok choy, and I discovered I am NO fan of bitter melon. :-) I am so pleased by the wide variety of frozen foods, AND bottled sauces/marinades/dressings/spices from around the world.

So we're super excited that Winchester supports ethnic diversity and cultural heritage. We hope Food...

If you're looking to make some foods with some obscure ingredients that you won't find at your regular supermarket this place almost certainly carries it. If you're looking to find alternatives to the selection that your supermarket already carries Food Maxx has a variety of each ingredient. I came here looking to make pho from scratch and they had almost everything I needed.
Their meat selection is fantastic. They carry cuts like oxtail and shank at relatively cheap prices as well as meat thinly sliced if you're looking to make Korean bulgogi. The majority of their inventory is geared toward Hispanic foods but it's certainly not at the expense of other items.
