The store is open from 10 am to 8 pm every day. huge selection of sausages, cheeses, canned food, fish, cakes. Polite service.

Great selection, we found everything we wanted. Clean and organized. Would recommend to anyone

Ran into this store completely by accident while in the area. I've been meaning to go for a good while. I found the Armenian apricot preserves I'd been searching for and my mother picked up some cornelian cherry preserves. For a small store there were lots of interesting foods for sale that I hadn't seen since I was in New York. I'm going to have to return because I completely missed the taramosalata. Hope to head back next Sunday to take a closer look for that, the cheese and the fridge with the plemini. If you're looked for Georgian and Romanian wine, you might find what you need. They have some on the shelves in the front and in the back of the store as well. As far as Armenian wine they had one bottle of pomegranate dessert wine. I didn't check out the Russian media area in the back of the store because frankly my Russian language skills aren't up to speed. As far as toys and trinkets, there were many cute matryoshka dolls and they even had some shaped like Santa from Christmas time.

I really liked this store for all things Russian. I felt it was well-stocked and organized in a way that made finding everything easy. A lot of their items were easily accessible in refrigerators which is nice for anyone who doesn't want to wait in the deli line or is worried about communication issues. Additionally, they had a large section of gifts (matryoshkas and much more), interesting liquor bottles/wines (we got a Georgian wine in a unique clay bottle for only $20), novelty T-shirts, and a ton of Russian books. Cool. Ultimately, everything I bought was fresh, delicious, and good quality. A heads up to anyone who does not speak Russian and isn't familiar with Russian foods but wants to try. You're not going to get a warm welcome with a tour/intro to our cuisine. Just not how it works. Customer service is just not a priority -- it's not just this store, it's the case at most of them (I've been to quite a few). I will say that Golden Grain (another Russian store nearby) stood out in this respect and the proprietors were much friendlier than usual. However, Russian General Store seemed to have more to offer in terms of variety and their products seemed fresher (moving faster). That being said, I'd love to see Golden Grain get some more love since Russian General Store seems way more popular. If you want more of a warm welcome, try Golden Grain. Anyway, if you're totally new to Russian cuisine, do not speak the language, and want to sample some stuff, I can try and help. I'd recommend getting: -Pelmeni (first fridge by the door) -- traditional Russian dumplings. Serve with butter or sour cream. -Red caviar (fridge by the back) -- great on some rye bread with butter or cream cheese. If you're feeling adventurous, pick up some frozen blini ("crepes") from the first fridge. Thaw, pan fry in butter on each side, fold twice and flip until each side crisps up. Spread caviar on top and enjoy (so good). -Smoked white fish ("butterfish") -- same fridge as the caviar. Delicious fish that melts in your mouth. -Taramosalata -- while this is a Greek-style caviar spread, it's always available in Russian stores. I haven't really seen it in any grocery stores aside from Phoenicia. Find it by the caviar. -Pickled herring -- same fridge as the caviar. Goes really well with chopped red onion. -Rye bread -- across from the canned fish, middle of the store. I like the darker varieties personally. Goes well with caviar or smoked fish. -Halva -- the Russian version of this dessert is made with sunflower paste. Find it in the dessert area, they have it by weight in plastic containers. -Pryaniki -- glazed gingerbread cookies, sort of. Find them in the dessert area, they have ones with filling, but I prefer them plain. -Buckwheat -- not a wheat, but actually a seed. It's hard to find in conventional grocery stores but is tasty and nutritious (great with butter or olive oil). Find it across from the Russian candies (the ones sold by weight). I'd start there. There are other traditional foods I'd recommend but I didn't see them when I stopped by (I'm sure I just missed them) so I can't point you to them. Overall, a great store for Russian food as well as unique gifts. Easy parking in a shopping plaza.

I've been visiting the General Store since I was a kid ! It's definitely a nostalgic place for me, and still a great place to visit for all my favorite Russian food items. Despite being a small place, their food selection is huge ! They have a wide variety of candies, pre-packaged goods, drinks, etc. They also have a fresh baked goods area which is great for getting treats to take to friends. The deli counter is amazing ! They have a huge selection of meats and cheeses. Definitely make sure to check out the freezers too - the pelmeni variety is amazing. The store also has a large collection of Russian books, movies, gifts, medicines, etc. The shopping center it's in isn't too exciting, but that's great for parking! There's a lot of places to park and it's never overly busy.

So glad I found this store. It's a quaint little shop with almost exclusively Russian goodies. From produce, wine, chocolates, sweets, books, to general care, it was easy to feel like you're in Russia for just a few minutes. Prices were good, and quality was great. I will be back next time I'm in town. (Heads up that the word "Russian" is off of the signs. "General Store" is this place ;-))

A very peaceful place with a variety of goods from Eastern Europe. I love the sweets that are offered in the store.

They've taken Russian off their sign. I suppose because of the current situation. But this is still a great place to shop for Russian food and cultural items. Great people. Don't be intimidated by the language barrier. Most of the people working and shopping there speak English.

Our son took us here to scope out all the goodies. We bought and shared a tasty Russian ice cream sammich....the sandwich part was like a thin waffle cone layer with a really thick ice cream layer....chocolate, they had other flavors too and different kinds of frozen treats. They have a meat counter with different cuts and sausages. We picked up a few kinds of cookies, I even found some sugar free coffee candies. Everything we've tried was really good. Lots of different kinds of bread. We'll be back for more goodies.

I enjoy buying unique foods at the Russian General Store. I don't always know what they are, but it is an adventure to try new things. There are similarities with many Middle Eastern canned vegetables and meats. They also have a huge selection of deli meats and fish as well as European style breads and pastries. They carry Russian and eastern European beers and wines. Don't expect a Cici's Pizza welcome when you walk in. These are real Russians. They can be dour. You'll be okay.
