Great Wall Supermarket

"This is the only Chinese supermarket in the Bethesda-Rockville area n over time it has been offering a wider variety of Asian products - there is 1/2 an aisle of Vietnamese products. The veggie, fruit, fish n pork offerings are outstanding. However, I took a star away because of the smell: I'm troubled by it as soon as I enter, the fish smell being the predominant one. Help is very hard to find n good luck communicating unless u speak Mandarin!"

"I make the 35 minute drive out here at least once a month to stock up on my Asian necessities like rice, noodles, sauces, whole fish & other seafood, Asian snacks and fruits, and other goodies. I like making a pot of soup on a weekly basis, and this is the place that I always buy pork neck bones for soup. Pork neck bone soup with lotus root, or winter melon, or carrots and potatoes and dates. You can usually find all the fresh ingredients you need for cooking soup and Asian dishes here. On the most part, the quality is okay. But you will notice that there are some foods that aren't as fresh. You just need to know what you're looking for and choose wisely. Many people shop here, so their workers are busy adding more items. There is a small food court in the back of the grocery store, but I've never tried their cooked foods before. There are many good restaurants in the nearby area, so we always eat something delicious whenever we visit Rockville, before going to the grocery store. I only wish this place wasn't so far of a drive for me."

"The food is very good and there’s a wide selection of stuff plus a very good food bar. The only problem is like a lot of stuff it has lead in some products."

"Love the design of this place and that you can pretty much get whatever assortment of goods that they have available. Plus, I love it when they make funny faces on their fruits. I can’t think of any other grocery store that does that in America. Also, who would’ve thought that shiso leaves could be found in a grocery store like the Great Wall Supermarket!? In Memphis, if you’re lucky, you could only find the dried ones. Now let’s hope that they would sell fresh umeboshi at this market down the road."

"Large, decent Asian supermarket selling fresh produce, seafood, meat, snacks, cooking equipment, houseware items and others. There is also a food court inside."
