J & J Market was a very handy discovery during our Vancouver vacation. If, like us, you like to…read morekeep your vacation expenses under control by not having every meal out, markets like J&J can be very handy. Here we got milk, cereal and we were set for breakfast. With bread, peanut butter and jelly we were able to have some lunches on the go. They even had gelato ice cream! Located very close to several hotels, J&Js is a good resource for essential supplies on the road.

The second brother or owner of the store lies to the customers and tells them "no credit card" and…read moreto use your bank cards. This is a scam because they have to pay 40 cents per credit card transaction and people's credit card transactions cost them 0 cents. If they make you use your bank card, you're paying $1.50 extra right away as a surcharge from the service and another $1.50 at the end of the month from your bank, for using the bank card service. So you pay $3.00 more PLUS the costs of your goods, and they make 40 cents on you behind the scenes. If they have 100 transactions a day, that's $40.00 a day and $1200.00 a month they make illegally while YOU PAY 100 TIMES MORE FROM YOUR POCKET! And the worst thing is the wife of the owner smiles to your face and says WE NO CHEAT while they cheat you. Thanks Trudeau for bringing this garbage here to Canada!

After lunch nearby we stumbled upon La Win supermarket and I have to say, it's quite a gem!…read more It's an asian supermarket with lots of standard asian offerings but also some less common items as well. For me, having just returned from a trip to Japan I was super excited to see some Japanese offerings that had become quite familiar to me on my trip. "Craft Boss" Matcha Latte and "Kirin" Salty Lychee Drink were highlights for me as I'd seen those drinks and brands in many a Japanese convenience store and vending machine. Definitely come check this place out. It's an absolute gem!

Was in the area and noticed this fancy looking Asian market. Has Sungiven vibes so I thought I…read morewould just check it out. Produce at regular ( tier 2 is what I call it) prices that are a little more than superstore/no frills and below Whole foods. The store was very bright and empty looking. " Open concept" if you will. They have a good selection of international Asian good especially from Japan, they have hot pot meat. Randomly ,they have dishware or kitchen ware that happened to be on sale at a decent price. I got a few snacks to try and found the peanut filling for the Asian mochi balls. Also potato starch at a decent price. They also have a prepared food section with an assortment of sushi, hot food, and side dishes. Even a section of high end Japanese goodies that came in those gift box like packages. Got a good selection of items but this would be more of a place for access to Asian goods/snacks as a treat without having to travel than a regular grocery shopping store. There seems to be paid parking somewhere but there are areas with 2 hour limited parking on surround streets

I came here on a whim as I was on my way to the bus stop. It was raining and I had been wanting to…read moreclear my mind of a few things. So i just decided to go for it, putting my umbrella down and stepping inside. I love that it feels warm and welcoming as you step inside, the smells of various foods filling your nostrils. The aisles are easy to navigate though they are kind of narrow opposed to other grocery stores. There's an amazing amount of hot soups available as well as salad bar, hot bar. I was very surprised by all the food available, especially in the grab n go coolers. I will most definitely be stopping in again.

Oh...you want your hair washed prior to a cut....just hop on into our bathroom and go nuts in the sink. What was I gonna do with an uncut-dry bagel which I wanted to enjoy at their so-called coffee area. I'm sure you have a cutting station somewhere back there with little cute squares of Philadelphia you can appreciate your customer with, no? ok.... The result. They lost business on their bagels. Their muffins and coffee were ok.

Timothy, I believe his name was also very good . Super friendly and Canadian. lol Overall, this market has a good vibes and has a good selections which is why it's called choices . It's nowhere near as big as Whole Foods, but I believe choices which is Canada's answer to Whole Foods does a good job at providing access to a decent variety of natural and artisanal foods and beverages. They even have Wi-Fi and a little aquarium . Very cute . I would shop here all the time if I were a local !

Back in the 80s, my mum would take a bus to Chinatown to pick up a bbq duck for my birthday dinners. In adulthood, as more places opened up around the city - I had my fair share of comparing. I'm in my mid fifties now and really think this bbq duck is one of the best in terms of good flavour.

I no longer shop in any store associated with Jim pattison for two reasons:…read more 1. Rebecca at sapperton save on foods. #916 2. Blackbird security. The only way I will ever return is if they fire black bird security completely and fire Rebecca from save on foods. Also the guard at your store followed me to the bathroom? Why? What could I have possibly stolen when he is trailing behind me, never mind the fact I don't steal. So no thanks that goes for nesters, urban fare, save on, buy low, and meinhardt's because it all feeds back into pattison food group and i will not deal with a company that supports discriminatory behavior, that harasses people based on ethnicity, race, or disability! You write a policy but it's not worth the paper it's written on because you don't enforce it. And that's not just Nestor's that goes for all of your stores, nationally. You've already lost cooper foods, one urban fare shut down, and one save on foods in saanich, and more are coming.

I have been coming here for years. In the beginning, the prices are very much higher than the usual…read moregrocery stores. Then the prices dropped and the difference was not extreme. Sometimes it can be slightly cheaper when on sale. I like the variety and quality of food here. It looks fresher. I like the selection of cheese and the ready to eat food. You can pick and choose from the display case by letting the staff know what you want. Or you can also get your own selection from the warmers. It goes by weight. There are also individual or family meals which are now standardized pricing. $15 for individual and $45 for family. 1 entree and 2 sides. The soup selection is pretty good too. Same for the pizza. I've not tried the sushi or sandwiches here. Then there is the bakery and dessert section. The tiramisu is amazing! Chocolate eruption if you love chocolate. I like the pies and the Bundt cakes too. There is also an Amazon locker here to pick up your parcel. It's near the dining area which is quite big compared to other grocery stores with space for eating your food. Cutlery and napkins are available. You can also redeem your parking here. 1 hour with min $20 purchase. Used to be with $10 purchase when the parking was $1/hour, now it's $2/hour. And I think you still get $0.10 back if you bring your own bag.

Generally good experience, however it was disappointing tonight for my nephews birthday to receive a fruit tart with the *most* sour fruit (which the kids didn't mind tbh, but the adults avoided). The "happy birthday" which is usually piped onto a piece of chocolate was piped simply on to a piece of acetate. This wound up smudging as it was still wet and touched the top of the box, and it was really disappointing for the kiddos as they generally fight over the chocolate (and is used a bit to get them to sit still lol). We wished they had piped onto the original chocolate placard, or even a cookie, so that the frosting would solidify.
