Food Depot Gourmet Deli

So, on my quest to find something worth eating on the West Side before venturing back to MD, me and my boyfriend stop in this place. I'm trying to decide what snacks to purchase for my trip Apple and Eve Cranberry juice or Tropicana and am struck by an inceasant itch on my heal. I stop, put the juice back on the shelf, take my house keys out and scratch the mess out of my foot! Brief relief cause even now it itches. So, before I've even had a chance to finish putting my shoe on, the shop keep, pictured below, runs across the store, accusing me of shoplifting. His words "I saw you take off shelf, and place in your purse". really? I'm gonna steal your $1.50 juice? So, my boyfriend asks the man if he is referencing the juice, still on the shelf. He says "no, something else". I ask if he means my keys, and even open my purse to show that nothing in it is from his store. The man insists that he saw on the camera that I stole something, am hiding it, and that I need to leave his store. WHERE TO START?!?! Well, for starters, we obviously decided not to patronize the shop. But I can't accurately articulate the anger and embarrassment that shop keep caused me, with his actions, and accusations. The chances were already slim that I would have ever gone back anyway, but now he'll have scathing reviews on several sites, too. Happy to go back home now.

Good food options and healthy buffet choices

Pretty standard Bodega style place with prepared food. Lots of options, like salads, samdwiches, and Mongolian bbq, along with other grocery-type items. Everything's pretty reasonably priced for midtown.

Buffet and hot food only open until 2pm, which is sad because it looks good. Work in the area and it would be convenient since it's close, but it's never an option for me.

Food! Nice Selection, prepped and made to order. I needed more seafood, but I left well fed and the price was righteous!

Tasty food and fast service in morning so far happy every time I eat there.

Delicious food for a Bodega'ish store. Seating area and one person bathroom for paying customers.

Cashier tried to steal my change. Bad business practices, beware.

For the price, the Mongolian barbeque buffet is hard to beat.

It's fine, and super convenient, but nothing special.
