Khim’s Millenium Market

I mean it’s really your only option if you need something in a pinch. It’s convenient that it’s 24 hours but other than that there’s nothing really good here. Everything is about 20% overpriced they actually ran out ice the day I went!

This store sells rotten food and refuses to give you an exchange or your money back. They also accuse you of lying and trying to «scam» them out of a whopping $ 4.00. I’ve been going here for years and it’s happened about 3 – 4 times. Maybe I should stop going…

Decent post midnight alternative, when the nearby foodtown is closed. Price is slightly higher than chain supermarkets (associated, foodtown etc); I pay ~43 $ instead of 40 for my typical list. BUT they’re def cheaper than other market-​delis to the north on Bedford. Expecting franchise-​market prices from a smaller family supermarket is unreasonable & unfair, FTR. Not a huge selection on anything, your average organic-​deli aisles. Haven’t had any expired item problems so far.

I go to this store sometimes because it’s a block from my house and it’s the only place open for coffee before 7 am even though I kick myself just about every time I give the my money. Everything here is insanely overpriced. The women who work during the day can’t bother with basic civility (although the gentleman who works at night is lovely). The main thing though is: they regularly stock and sell out-​of-​date, expired or even rotten items. I have bought things here only to find mold in them (everything from fruit to packaged foods — with mold, yuck). I have never returned it because I would just be annoyed or I’d have brought it to work for lunch and wasn’t going to carry it home to show them. Also I have pointed out things on the shelves that are expired only to have them shrug like, whatever. However, I returned a moldy item for the first time the other day — to the very same woman who sold it to me and who knows me — and she gave me such a hard time and argued with me and wanted me to take another of the same MOLDY ITEM to replace the one I had. That is ridiculous and terrible customer service. You’d thing a store would be ashamed to sell such things. I doubt Khim’s cares though since there are so many new people willing to spend their parent’s money there, who don’t care about things like wasted food and will keep going back for the overpriced fancy beer.
Oh, they also apply tax to things that should not be taxed. A friend bought cigarettes — the price is shown as 12.75 or something, but they actually charged almost $ 14 because they added tax even though the tax is already added. You also have to watch they don’t add tax to food items (which are not taxed in NYC).

A little on the expensive side. If I forget something, I come here. They have a great organic section. Even organic Meyers soap products which I love. I only shop here for convenience or emergencies :)

This place is great!
I stop by most every time I’m in Williamsburg. There are two reason for my loyalty:
great customer service
great hours
This place is open way late, has a great selection of items, and the staff is always very friendly.
Yes, it is pricey, but think about where you are.

A bit pricey, good selection, open late.
Oh, and the guy who works the counter was sooo sweet. However, I wish there was a wider selection of vegan cookies, i.e. Liz Lovely’s, but the store is nice and orderly and there are deals to be had on random things, like ear plugs.

These are everywhere now.
This place is impossible to navigate yourself through. Hope that you are the only person going down the aisle, because you absolutely can not fit two. You can barely fit one with a purse. Their product is far overpriced, but their location right off the subway is highly convienient. Not to mention they have pomegranates — though I’m always concerned with their fly-​coated produce. Hm.

Like all the Khim’s, it’s clean, tidy and well stocked. And overpriced. And the produce is typically somewhat questionable.
Why do they enforce a $ 10 limit on credit/​debit? I usually go elsewhere because of this.

This location looks just like the new Khim’s on the corner of Bedford & N 7^th, except the aisles may be slightly wider (which isn’t saying much) and it’s not as clean. The workers are not unfriendly but they aren’t the most approachable people.
I just come here for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. They have a great selection and it’s too convenient on my way back from Grand Ferry Park.

say what you want about khim’s, but i haven’t found anyplace cheaper for dr. bronner’s.
and they have lychee sorbet.

Overpriced is a given
They do a pretty good job, though, of covering all the bases for your bleary eyed morning forages or harried post-​work stop-​offs.
*And they sell kimchi! They have a house brand that’s pretty solid (³⁄₅) — although a couple times I’ve encountered a flavorless batch. Sometimes they sell this other kimchi that’s made in brooklyn (black lid, small squat cylinder jar) and is the next best thing to mother-in-law’s…but I only saw it once.

I’ll never shop here again.
They need to learn the difference between prepared and package foods. They charge tax on items like raw chicken. I just hope that the tax they collect on items like raw chicken is getting turned over to the state otherwise the Department of Taxation and Finance calls that tax fraud.
And if Office Space taught us anything about matters related to fraud its that you don’t go to white collar resort prison, you federal pound me in the @ss prison.
Good luck Khim!

Pricey but always open. Good fresh vegetables selection. A lifesaver when in a late night pinch or if you need something in a flash. The staff are cool & helpful. I haven’t had a bad experience like some of the other reviewers.

I used to love buying my vitamins here (I mean, as much as any one person can enjoy the fine art of vitamin purchases). One day I decided to explore food options and bought a Tofurkey-​cranberry-​Thanksgiving-​thing from the freezer. When I got it home and opened the package IT WAS COVERED IN MOLD. FESTERING. SICK. With someone else below complaining about food poisoning, I wonder how well they store their food/​make sure their fridges and freezers are running properly. I will never give this place another dime.

My husband bought a raspberry sorbet here and had the most violent food poisoning in his life. He almost died. And the manager and sales people of this «store» didn’t even apologize and behaved like monkeys. My biggest wish is that this store shuts down very very soon. We’re planning to sue them.

Amazing selection of snacks… Way too expensive, but a good place when you just need to pop in for something quickly. Any time I’ve thought to myself «There’s no way they’ll have Item X,» they do! Their produce is surprisingly fresh as well– I’ve had nary a wilted lettuce leaf.
Staff is remarkably friendly – always.
When it’s 2am and all you need and want from the world is some dried mango slices and some unbleached cotton tampons, this is the place to go.

Khim’s Millenium Market is probably the cause of the economic downfall that has occurred in the first decade of our new millenium.
Yeah, they’ve got a DECENT amount of variety, but you’ll have to pay the price. THE PRICE IS NOT RIGHT. This place manages to make my local highway robbery «Brooklyn Snatch Yo Purse» (Brooklyn Natural) look like a fucking 99 cent store. Which is unheard of!
Every single 6 pack of beer is at least $ 1.00 more expensive than at the Snatch, and that is honestly perturbing. Especially considering their sub par selection of brews. I’m so glad that I don’t live close because I would be poor. I’m sure that convenience and the granola organic blah blah antibiotic free crowd eats this place up. But me? No sir. I feel sorry for my friend who lives a block away.

I’m giving Khim’s two stars because the staff is really friendly but that’s it. Everything people say about the prices is 100% true, but you can’t blame the owner for marking thing up; if stupid hipster/​college students want to pay those prices, he’s got the right to charge them. It’s just a bummer that such a convenient place, with a really great variety of organic foods is inaccessible for those residents of the ‘hood who actually work for a living and aren’t staggering around in skinny jeans and stupid hats at 3am with the pot munchies.

Why did Khim’s open two stores across the street from each other?
Who do they think they are, Starbucks?
We call this upscale market «Big Khim’s.» The one across the street is «Li’l Khim’s.»
When I lived in the area, we frequently made late night and early morning purchases of fancy beer, juice and snacks at one of the two. Big Khim’s is better for foods. Li’l Khim’s has a better selection of beers. Both are open ²⁴⁄₇.
They’re pricey. You can get this kind of stuff cheaper elsewhere. But before Li’l Khim’s opened in South Williamsburg, the place was a total food desert once normal operating hours for C-​town were over. (And C-​town used to be closed after 8pm and all day Sunday!) So I’ve got some love for the Khim’s for providing me with healthy, desirable food, even if it came at a premium price.
…and now I’ve left the neighborhood for another place that has pre-​gentrification food sources. I’ve searched, and there’s no 100% cranberry juice anywhere within 8 blocks of my apartment. There’s cranberry cocktail (sugar water) and there’s that shiesty «100% juice» cranberry cocktail (apple juice + less than 10% cranberry). But no real cranberry juice. So when I went to visit friends in the old neighborhood last night, I went to Big Khim’s and I LIKED IT.
I wish we could bring Li’l Khim’s home to my new neighborhood. It just doesn’t seem fair for W’burg to have two so close together, while we have to do late night shopping in a joint that once sold me bootleg bottled water.
