Good Neighbor European Deli Mkt

I am sick and tired of always getting expired and spoiled stuff from this place. Moldy bread, nasty candy with worms! Expired drinks, expired canned goods with the expiration date covered by a price tag! What the hell is this place?! How is this place still even open! I swear, if I get any more lip from the cashiers I will jump over that damn counter and slap the crap out of you. Also, you work there! It’s your job to serve and help, if you don’t like it then go back home and collect you welfare and food stamps! Otherwise, I am a paying customer! Shut your damn hole! Welcome to America you ungrateful cows!

The quality of produce seems to go down every time I visit good neighbor. Last night I bought some chocolate candy for 6.99Lb and there were worms inside. Absolutely disgusting! Will not be going back.

This place has so many yummy things from all around the world! Fresh sauerkraut, bags of dried chamomile flowers, sodas made from bread (!), crunchy bread rings, different kinds of sausages and salamis, cheeses, candies, and so much more. I found dry cottage cheese, also called farmer’s cheese, that I can use to make cheese buttons, a favorite German-​from-​Russia dish. The girl who helped me was quite friendly, speaking Russian (?) to the person in front of me but only English to me (thankfully!). She sliced my salami the way I wanted it and offered a sample before purchase. The salami was so good, I ate part of it on the way home. I will be back.

I came in to buy some food for lunch. I was waiting for customer service to help for a few minutes while the girls (cashiers) were talking about something personal. Since I was in a hurry, I came up to them and one of the girls who was helping me was very rude and did not smile. The food was great but I think the customer service needs real improvement! Smile please

This place has lots of exotic Russian or Eastern European items. The young lady with light blue eyes was fairly helpful.

This place is OK at best. Good Neighbor in 5 Statements:
1. Check Expiration Dates.
2. Girls in the front are extremely rude and not friendly.
3. The prices on their merchandise is about 30% higher than it should be.
4. They do carry yummy Russian bread.
5. They seem to try collecting rent from other people that lease space from them inside. Doesn’t help when you are trying to navigate across the store.
Go to Kiev across the street, food is more fresh and the prices are competitive.

Terrible customer service, the food is great salads are great to, but the girls that work there are really rude ones i came there and asked for a salad, and the cashier first gave me the look like what u couldn’t do it at home but still gave me the salad but then told me that she does salads at home for her family, that was rude, its not like i don’t know how to cook it was that i just needed something right away.

My wife and I first time stopped by at this store and spent a lot. All we bought here was good, fresh and tasty. The cashier was helpful and attentive, explaining and answering all our questions. Definitely we will visit this store again.

This place sucks, specially customer service. Before buying any product check exporation dates on them. Good luck.

For all the food and items that they carry here, I give that 5 stars. To the great customer service that these woman provide, I give that a 2. They need to interact a lot better with their customers. They are rude and have rude remarks back towards customers.

Terrible Place! Never coming here again! The service is horrible, the cashiers will chew meat right into your face as they are ringing you up and if you ask them a question about their products of when they will be getting another shipment of something, you will get snapped at and an asnwer such as «we will get it when we get it!» My suggestion, go to Teremok on hemlock st. or MnM on walerga rd.

I’m going there for many years, and I just loved!!!

Russian/​Ukrainian store. Poor customer service, and the food is not fresh, on 6÷13÷2011 I purchased chicken bologna (bologna sausage) that was spoiled and smelled really bad. I went back to the store to complain about it and the manager was very unprofessional, irresponsible and very very rude, no apologies, she had a weird attitude. I was so upset and decided to contact the FDA.

One of my favorite things to do is explore the food of other cultures in a non-​restaurant way. For example: chowing down on my Mexican sister-in-law’s cooking, or going to little grocers like Good Neighbor.
I used to work around the corner from this little grocery/​deli and would sometimes pop in to get a sweet fix — they have loads of hazelnut chocolate goodies. Once I was looking around at some of the other items they offered and there was a cute little girl shopping with her family. The girl seemed rather tickled to have the opportunity to proudly show an outsider what her favorite foods from the deli were. I picked some of them out and she was right — they were good! I still have no idea what they were, though, as some of the items have English writing, but most have Ukrainian/​Russian (?) writing .
I haven’t worked near there in ages and I even moved away from Sacramento for about five years. Now that I have returned I make special trips to that part of town just for Good Neighbor. At Christmas and at Easter, most importantly. They have so many great candies and other goodies for stockings and baskets! They also have yummy breads and pastries. There are pickled mushrooms, a variety of honey, meats, cheeses, seasoning mixes, fruits, veggies, etc. If you like hazelnut chocolate (which I LOVE) they have a great selection!
The staff are typical of a «non-​American» place where they help if you ask, but don’t kiss up with fakey customer service attitude. It is small, clean, easy to browse, and not too expensive.
I was just there today and totally scored for Easter! I can’t wait to dig in to the candies and pastries I found.

The food there is a regular russian/​ukranian fair you can get at any eastern european market. Bread is pretty good. Fresh and baked right at the premises. Although they would charge you 25 cents for slicing this bread (fine by me), and also roll their eyes… «how come you won’t do it at home yourself comrade?»
That is a part of authentic experience, home away from home kind of staff.
There were other «heartwarming» moments I could do without.
I would try some other place with the friendlier people…

Came here today just because I was on a mission to find something good to eat — lots of stuff I’d have loved to buy (frozen pelmeni and chocolate) but unfortunately It was hot and I still had hours before I’d be able to get home. They have a small section of prepared foods and I was in the mood for a mushroom salad which I’m glad I tried before committing to buy — not what I expected… =(
I did get a few other items from here though (packets of seasoning, a couple juice drinks) which I’m very excited about.
Next time I will come here before heading home for the day so I can get all the good stuff.

A small store, packing a big selection into a small space.
Conveniently located near American River College.
Owners actually spoke Ukrainian.

This store is nicknamed «Russian store». I like this place, go there often. If you are not familiar with Russian cousine and culture I’d go with a friend who is. Their dairy, bread and meat products are a specialty and they let you try a sample. Pickled tomatoes is what I often go for. Very big selection of Russian candy and teas. My family only buys sugar from them (or any other russian store) its unbleached and cheaper than in a gourmet store. Most of their products are from East coast (NY) and East Europe.
If you haven’t had a Russian ice cream definitely try it, they have different kinds depending what they could get I think, so changes over time. Once they had an ice cream actually made in Russia, called «eskimo» mmm the best I’ve ever tried, but they don’t have same kind anymore.
Things I would skip on and look elsewhere: most fresh fruits and vegetables, and bakery, not a big fan of their cakes and pastries although they may look good.
