This Lotte is a little older but it has a lot of stuff. I stop by today to get some Japanese rice tea that I got here months ago... To my disappointment, they dont carry it anymore and neither does the Herndon location. I like this Lotte because they have the Chinese food stand that sells roast pig, bbq pork, roast ducks, and dim sum and other cooked food. Most dim sum items and the cooked meals are served on weekends, but you might find a few dim sum and cooked items during the week. They do close early... I stopped by at 7 and they were close, but Lotte is still open! Lotte is doing some construction on the outside right now, be careful! There is a sign on the entrance door that said no mask no shop or something like that, but there were shoppers without masks. If that bothers you, now you know. Im ok... Its a personal preference but if you dont feel good, its always best to stay home.
This place has a lot of fresh produce & other Asian groceries, but its also COVID CENTRAL! Just look at the pics. Thats what this place typically looks like. Customers here do NOT know what social distancing means. They will come right next to you to pick the same produce youre picking rather than waiting until you are done. A lot of them wear their masks improperly, below their noses. If you shop here during the pandemic, you are really putting your health at risk. SHOP HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
The NEW renovation is amazing. So well organized. Love the selection on Asian as well as Indo/Pak groceries. The new concept with restaurants is also great. Tried one of the halal restaurants there and it was pretty good.
Always well stocked and competitive price. Great selection of Asian and Indian groceries, and the fresh fish stand is a plus!
Great variety of fresh fruits and veggies. You get all Indian grocery items. Not to forget the fresh and yummy indian sweets and Indian Punjabi food you can buy.Just deducted one star for smell.
Very nice and large store. The aisles are wide and it easy to shop. Plenty of parking and easy to find. Excellent seafood department. Many countries are represented in the grocery section. They stock Angelo Pietro Salad dressings one of my favorite products. The produce is fresh and there is plenty of variety to choose from.
First off I love this place the variety of foods and helpful customer service. We had all of our food rang through and I realize I left my card in the car. We got to the car and realized we left it at home drove home came back food was still there waiting for us Top Notch customer service.
Great place to find specialty foods that are not available at local grocery stores.
Went there early. Disappointed not to find some of the common grocery items like water. Not many selections. Thats a bit surprising. And I was overwhelmed with high price tags. I expected that but still I was shocked. If you want to buy Korean groceries, buy a few and get out quickly. Everything is expensive!
Good for all asian groceries. Love the food and fresh sweets that is available inside thenplazs
Chantilly Lotte is the best in the areaTuesday about noon, not too many people. Organized, wide isles and very clean. All product displays are fantastic to the eyes. The bakery is so tempting and delicious. Food court....some are open and they look great. Did not purchase anything from did court. Register was fast and very friendly.
Lotte gives fresh vegetables, groceries and fishes are also good. It helps us to stay healthy as in our native places. Thanks to Lotte for ever.
Accidentally forgot to check the expiration date. it was ice cream though so really i shouldnt have had to. ive been sick all morning after eating it last night because it was a month out of date! how do you let your store even carry products that old?
What I hate the most about this place is the Christian missionary people who stand at the entrance and exit of this store and along the main road. These people scare the heck out of me and make me feel so uncomfortable. I don’t know why this store allows them on their premises.
I shop here a lot. They have a huge and unique variety, like no other place.It could be a little cleaner though, hence 4 stars.
Fresh produce selection varied in quality (ex: noodles were moldy on shelves) and selection on certain staple items (ex: no fresh hot peppers except jalapenos).
Come here for seafood and vegetables.
So uh... I know this isn’t Lotte’s fault but um... I had purchased a bottle of maggi hot and spicy ketchup from there and I accidentally dropped it today and it shattered. There was a human child’s tooth in it...Over all great store though. I wish they would sell more plants like the Herndon location.
I was witness to a fish market worker practicing unhygienic conditions today, April 25 around 11 45 am or so. I was waiting for my fish to be dressed and the Hispanic worker beside the man cleaning my fish was eating and spitting out bits of what he was eating right there next to the other men cleaning the fish.In light of the present situation I think this is highly dangerous. I do not wish the store any ill will as I am a frequent shopper there but I felt strongly that this situation should be addressed.I hope management will look into this situation. The incident happened at the Lotte Plaza in Metrotech Drive, at Chantilly, VA.
Weekdays are good for shopping there. On weekends always that place is over crowded.
Note for readers, Im a casual American so many things here I am interested in are due to this.This place is great, they have a wide range of asian foods, ranging from kinda American to pretty asian. They have almost anything a family could need, from 40 pounds of rice to massive pieces of flat bread. Their tea selection ranges from casual to pretty fancy. They have food from almost any asian region you can think of and some Hispanic stuff too! Will go again soon!I have heard some bad things about management but havent seen it nor seen any proof as my experiences have had no such thing.
Im from a small town in Kentucky and have never been to a supermarket that catered to different cultures before. This supermarket was not only amazing, but it was a wonderful experience! I got to learn about many types of food and experience culture that I wouldnt other wise experience back home. I 10 out of 10 would recommend!
I like the store for the fact they have diversity of asian foods that cant be find anywhere else, but definitely need to improve the speed of service. I shopped in the middle of the day when is usually not expected to be significantly busy cuz most people are at work at this hour, but was shocked to find that 10 regusters were open for check out and the line on all of them was going all the way to the opposite side of the store. Waited 35 min to check out. So if you are coming for just couple of things and you can find them somewhere else its probably not worth it the wait.
I cant stand this place!The staff is very dismissive. There is a very rude woman that works in the household goods section, she follows you around like youre going to steal something, very disturbing, creepy like, if you are Korean then your ok, but any other ethnic background you will be immediately disrespected.I informed management about her and they dont care.Its so annoying to go there, so I avoid that area of the store, I am trying to find a different place to shop all together!
Excellent selection. Great prices. If you want Asian food that you prepare, this is the place to go.
They have verity of vegetables that we regular need.
Best Lotte Plaza Market Ive been to in Northern VA! Their produce is fresh and they have prices so low my jaw literally dropped when I saw their price on a whole beef tenderloin...Definitely will be back!
Good food selection.
Lotte in chantilly love it nice and clean Asian market ☺👍👍
Terrible store. They have too many employees that dont speak any English and when you have questions no one can answer you because they dont understand.
Good selection of vegetables and fruit, but nothing organic
An excellent source for fresh vegetables needed for Indian cuisine.
Love it! Has my favorite restaurant: Don Churro:)
Punjabi By Nature has the best Chole Nature!
Cool spot to buy food stuff you wont find in run of the mill grocery stores
Theres a good jewelry store inside
Excellent selection of food, fruits and vegetables. Regulars at Lotte.
Best fresh fish in town
Was really good!
My family shopped here and got their cart stolen from inside the store. They noticed, ran outside and were able to find a person walking away with their cart. Dont leave your purse or cart unattended!
All kind of fresh vegetables and reasonable prices
Good place with variety of veggies and fruits.
This grocery market is absolutely fantastic. Varieties of groceries available, I’m never disappointed with the huge produce and meat, fish and other ethic foods.I love to shop here.
The store is pretty big and parking is convenient. The produce are very cheap, however, other merchandise are actually expensive. You can find almost everything. Just the cashiers don’t seem to be very happy with their job. They are not rude but they barely smile, greet or say thank you. Apart from that, great store and great selection of items. They definitely need to improve their customer service tho.
Lotte is my place to buy most of my produce, noodles, sauces, cookies, snacks, Ramen noodles, kimchi, you name it they got it. I love the seafood section, and very good prices.
Store has lot of things like veggies,sweets,meat,deli and even slippers
I like this location. Fresh seafood, meat, grocery, fruit and vegetables that fits your needs and budget .
It was definitely crowded more than my comfort level on day before Thanksgiving evening.Plan ahead and avoid evenings.
Large Asian super market with lots of food vendor and a bakery.All of necessary Asian food you can find it here with a live seafood department.A few food vendor on site pretty convenient, also sell sushi at low price.Free parking.
Bit crowded compared to the other Lotte Plaza.And the vegetables dint seem fresh to me here.
Amazing international selection. Very kind staff. I was amazed at the variety of produce. If youre a chef like myself, this is a dream come true.
Not clean. But you can find most of the things. Weekends super busy.
Love this place for amazing produce selection and great prices. However, lines have been very long last three times I went. Ill update with more stars when things get back to normal or they start employing more cashiers.
A place for most of Asian grocery needs.
All the east and south east Asian food you can find back home.
Cashiers lines are too long
Awesome place for Indian groceries, vegetables and frozen delights. The sweet stall is a lovely addition to the store.
3 star for the place and 1 more star for the variety of items we can buy... its amazing
We used to like Lotte and shop here regularly. I dont know what happened but in the few months, almost all vegetables & fruits we bought had some problems. They went bad very quickly. When I say quickly, it is like a day only. Then, we had to clean out the ones that are not that bad... Wasted tens of dollars and not planning to visit again.
I like Lotte market. I get my groceries and vegetables from there. Lots of varieties that are hard to find on other stores.Reasonable prices.
Nice place, good staff.
Fresh vegetables and fruits always available. Competitive prices too.
I feel so fortunate to live in a metropolitan area which has this amazing store! The international selections are 100 times better than Safeway and Giant. Almost overwhelming! Great prices too.
Store is labeling Pork items as Halal, especially in the raw meat section. So be wary. This tells there is no quality control.
It surprisingly has many things under one roof, veggies, fresh fruits that have pretty decent prices.
I love this place it has every asian/international product you can think of. Also there are plenty of small restaurant establishments to include a small bakery. Definitely worth going there.
The bakery always has some of the best already-made cakes available around the area. Their cakes are excellent for birthdays and parties. Definitely worth stopping by for a delicious cake and maybe some other groceries too.
This place is ok for purchasing Indian food and grocery at reasonable price but you need to be careful in checking expiry dates sometimes for few products. Also in case of returns you need to carry purchasing slips.
Best produce in Chantilly. Period. Only con is that the isles are narrower than your traditional supermarket. Fresh sushi there blows away Wegmans.
This is a pretty large market in the Chantilly area. There are a lot of parking spaces, but the parking lot seems to be usually packed. They have a lot of Asian foods. I went there for some Japanese sesame oil and ended up buying a bunch of other snacks as well. The moon cakes were tasty. They serve prepared Asian food as well.
Good Shop
I enjoy going to Lotte for my fruits, vegetables & meat because they have an abundance, theyre fresh & usually cheaper than other grocery stores. A couple cons i notice: 1) theyre always packed with long lines at times & 2) most employees dont speak English. Therefore, its hard to receive help on where to find things. Overall, there are many options, especially for my international dishes. I will continue going.
Big Asian market, have a good section for vegetables and fruits, almost everything available there. the staff is not v friendly though.
Parking can be tricky because this is a busy place. The store has a large variety of food products from Asia and the fresh products, (fruit, veggies, meat, fish) are greast! The different food stalls provide a good meal too.
The produce selection is fresh, abundant, and cheap. Highly recommended. There are tons of international foods and spices, all of which are at decent prices. But seriously - the produce is dirt cheap compared to pretty much anywhere else in the area. It can get quite hectic on weekends, but lines typically move fairly quickly.
Nice multi-ethnic supermarket. Wanted to buy and eat packaged cucumber Kim Cher but could not find any chopsticks displayed by any food service vendors. Also could not locate bottled water. Enterprising store developer did well to build out this large space. It must satisfy residents of many counties.
Wide selection of Asian groceries. Good prices and nice quality of food.
Love the international options
Great place to get cheaper produce. An interesting variety of both regular grocery store and Asian fruits and vegetables. Nice selection of seafood, meats and poultry with great prices. Great mix of Indian, Hispanic, and Asian ingredients and foods.
