Unacceptable Experience – Found a Worm in My Salad
I’ve always trusted Whole Foods for quality and cleanliness, but this experience was beyond disappointing. I purchased a salad from the salad bar and discovered a worm in my food. This is absolutely unacceptable for any establishment, especially one that promotes such high standards and premium pricing.
Food safety and hygiene should never be compromised. It’s unsettling to think this could happen, and it makes me question the store’s food handling and inspection procedures. I hope Whole Foods takes immediate action to ensure this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
Terrible store design overall. Also, app grocery pickup needs to be done from the back of the store, even though the shelves with the ready orders are in the front of the store! You have to go to the back and then wait for someone to retrieve them from the front. Makes a 1 min trip take 10 mins, and is more work for the employees too. Makes no sense!
Fresh Salad Bar and Hot Foods to go.
I really enjoyed the big selections of fresh salad and hot roast chickens that came as a whole one or 1/2.
There was ready to eat macaroni cheese.
Hot chicken bites with chilli sauce.
Chicken wings, potato wedges, Chicken thigh pieces, cooked vegetables all very nice.
We had sushi on other days to try as much foods as possible!
There is just so much more…
Some rude employee thought it was ‘normal’ to make a fake announcement in the bathroom declaring that all the bathroom stalls were taken while I was testing the doors to see if they were open just to embarrass me? I hope you guys try to correct that because what kind of behavior is that, not even as an employee, but in general, and while on the toilet?
I am extremely disturbed by the treatment I received at Whole Foods, 450 W 33rd St, New York, NY 10001. Upon entering the store, I was immediately followed by a security guard solely because I am a Black man. This is blatant racial profiling and completely unacceptable. He did not follow any other shoppers, which makes it clear that his actions were based entirely on my skin color.
When I addressed his behavior, he responded with aggression rather than professionalism. This is not only embarrassing and discriminatory but also deeply concerning from a safety and ethical standpoint.
For identification: the security guard is a young Black male in his 20s, approximately 5’7”, with an afro and glasses. His behavior demonstrates a serious lack of judgment and training. I strongly urge Whole Foods to take immediate action. This type of conduct should result in disciplinary action, up to termination, and the store must implement measures to prevent racial profiling in the future.
I will never return to this location, and I am appalled that a company of this size allows such behavior. Whole Foods must be held accountable for fostering an environment where customers are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of race.
The cashier accused me of cutting in line when I approached her after my register number appeared on the screen. I explained that my number had just been called. She offered no apology—really unprofessional.
Perfect, to say the least. This Whole Foods Market is amazing. It's huge on the inside. It's an opportunity for folks to sit and grab breakfast, coffee, do a little work from the cyber cafe. The self-check out was fast and easy. However, they have a very attentive attendant to ensure efficiency.
Accessible entrance.
Ew the cilantro I got had dirt at the bottom. Not clean. The workers look miserable too ... maybe pay them better for happier customers. The prices for produce change drastically on a day to day basis as well.
Also why is there no microwave in the cafeteria. And your escalator is needlessly squeaky.
Your security guards are useless with bad attitudes too ... that is not welcoming to customers nor humans in general.
If you are going to reply to Google Reviews just aggregate our feedback and implement them. I see that you guys reply to reviews yet no customer facing changes have been implemented this quarter.
One of the best branches. Thanks for the obvious efforts and great service. Everything is available, nicely and freshly displayed. Friendly customer service and staff.
Very nice supermarket.
They carry not just normal items as they also have coffee & cake, Buffett area you can choose dishes, they also have small corner for sushi , cheese area too.
Price is a bit high but recommended if you wish to spend time walk around and shop a bit.
I love Whole Foods and this location is okay by me. Now that I got that out of the way I will really clear the air.
It is bad enough that food is expensive and Whole Foods leads in that category. Do better with breakfast Whole Foods. I spent my hard earned money this morning on a little breakfast at this store and I do this once in a while. I bought a little scrambled egg whites, a piece of turkey sausage, and home fried potatoes with onions and peppers.
The potatoes (as they usually are) were under cooked, still hard, and inedible, and a waste of my money. I understand that you rush to produce food in the industry, but you shouldn't serve undercooked food to people for that reason. Another thing, the staff should be taste testing the food and then they would have known. This was a missed opportunity to fix things before serving to the counter.
Disappointment set in as I sat in my office looking at the uneaten portion of my breakfast.
This food was charged by how much it weighed and potatoes add a lot of weight to the deal.
Two stars less for this today. Please do better Whole Foods.
Dear Whole Foods Team,
I’d like to share some honest feedback based on several recent visits to your stores — particularly the Hudson Yards and Times Square locations.
Over the past week, I’ve experienced multiple frustrating situations that made my shopping feel more stressful than enjoyable. One incident happened yesterday: I stopped by to quickly pick up some bread and mandarins. While slicing the bread — which requires both hands — I placed my coffee and the mandarins just to the side for no more than 2–3 minutes. When I turned around, I was shocked to see that a Whole Foods employee had taken the mandarins and poured out my coffee. This wasn’t an accident — he deliberately removed both items. When I asked what happened, he simply said “sorry,” but I was left without the drink I paid for and honestly felt disrespected.
This experience reflects a pattern I’ve noticed at both stores: staff often seem disengaged, chatting among themselves, and not paying attention to customers who are waiting at self-checkout. Even when multiple machines are available, no one steps in to guide people. It creates unnecessary confusion and delays.
At the Times Square location especially, I’ve had repeated issues with self-checkout scanners not recognizing items brought from the second floor. More than once, I was told to go back upstairs to get another one — even when I had a full cart. That kind of response feels dismissive and unhelpful.
They have everything you need from supermarket. Ready to eat food, hot and cold serve also cooking station with sushi bar. They have seating area for you too. Enjoy!
The Best Supermarket in Hudson Yards. Farm to table. Always offering the very best selection of food, produce, desserts, wine and beer. We always cater our events with Whole Foods.
Very pricey food store and the quality is very inconsistent. Purchased these strawberries Feb 2, 2025. As you can see very moldy and not edible. Hudson Yards Wholefoods, if you’re gonna be expensive, at least sell decent quality….
Discovered so many new protein bars in this Whole Foods in New York. So many products that aren’t available in Canada. Always fun wandering through and seeing all the great products that the US stores have.
Great spot for hot food and prepared food. Drinks and dessert too!
We got a pizza at Hot Slice, $21 for a large pie with ham and fig. Really good!
Don't need to pay $$$$ in NYC for food.
Perfection of a grocery store-restaurant hybrid concept.
Ultramodern indoor & outdoor doors dining areas with inspiring views.
Steps away from the High Line, Mall & much more.
5 stars for the helpful & courteous staff.
Must be a Flagship location.?
INCREDIBLE SELECTION
I’m a big fan of Whole Foods. But today’s experience just ratcheted it up a notch!. Is that even possible?
For lunch, I usually get the market table special with 2 sides. But today I saw 2 people getting the new STIR FRY.
It intrigued me cause it was made to order. I gave it a try and KABOOM . The beef was texturized like filet mignon. The flavors erupted like a volcano in Mt. Etna.
$13? Quality meal fit for a Prince. 2 lbs of food is sufficient for a famished cyclist .
The chef made it look like a Hibachi Grill. I was told this is the only location in Manhattan that offers STIR FRY.
$13 is ludicrous because I would have to pay $30 for this elsewhere.
J. BEZOS. You’re the MAN
One of the nicest Whole Foods stores I’ve been in. I stopped in here when I was meeting my son for lunch at one Manhattan West. I thought it was a small store, but it just keeps going and going this store is big. It’s beautiful. Has everything you need a full sushi bar, premade sandwiches, a sandwich counter, a hot bar and plenty of seating in case you want to eat lunch in the store. Such a great experience.
Why is a half rotisserie chicken the same price as a whole chicken, and why are dogs always in the store when the sign says no dogs allowed? Especially when you have awesome security guards all over the store. Life is a mystery.
produce buffet healthy bar self check out sushi tourists
I love this Whole Foods sooo much. I come here everyday for lunch when I'm in the office down the street. This is the best place to get lunch...hands down, no question. My favorites (which aren't always available): grilled salmon, mushroom chicken, broccoli crunch salad, and both the red beet and the golden beet salads are fantastic. I promote this location all the time, and they deserve it.
From the moment you walk in.. clean store, very friendly helpful staff, and they usually have food samples! "Try this shrimp", "try this cheese", "try these ribs", "try these new vegan cookies", "try a new flavor of la croix".... friendly smiley staff pushing delicious food, it doesn't get much better.
I will keep coming back, and overbuying - my lunch is usually around $15, but I end up getting groceries and spending muuch more every time I come here. I really love this store. If Whole Foods gave me a T-shirt I would gladly be a walking advertisement.
Nice new wholefoods with a food market too.
There are checkouts downstairs which are much quicker when it's busy.
There is an elevator by the door on 10th avenue.
Peak times are Sunday night, Monday night.
Flowers are by the Manhattan west entrance.
This whole foods market is huge, thousands of product, verity of fish, meats , groceries. It's fresh cooked ready to eat food sanction is rich and plenty of different kind of food available. Rice is comparatively high, but considering the location, it's tolerable. Product quality high. It is by 1 and 2 Manhattan West, so, good tourist place too.
If you’re a budget conscious consumer than this is not the place for you. To put it quite frankly unless you gross over $200K yearly or more this isn’t the grocery store for you. However, if you happen to be lucky enough to happen inside this store it’ll seem like you’ve been transported to a utopia in the near future. The exterior and entrance of this Whole Foods consists of a pedestrian walkway utilizing green infrastructure and it is almost idyllic. Fell in love quite quickly.
We found this Whole Foods location after visiting The Vessel at Hudson Yards and trying out the deli section.
The food was of satisfactory quality and reasonably priced.
The market is well organized and offers a wide variety of local beers.
Immaculate “Manhattan West” location next to Hudson Yards, with a thoughtful layout and a great selection of all the things you can expect from
Whole Foods and more. What makes this location extra special are the speciality sections around each corner such as an acai bar, a beautiful plant section, coffee area with ample seating, a matchaful tea/coffee/ice cream stand, a gorgeous produce area, the hot food bar, amazon lockers, vertical farming, and a nice dining area. There’s also an easy self checkout area to minimize the pain of having to wait in long lines when you just have a few items you want to grab and go. The best Whole Foods in Manhattan, so far.
