Chinese/Lunar New Year red envelopes ( 紅包, hóngbāo)
Ruby A.

I was looking for some Chinese/Lunar New Year decorations for a virtual food collaboration group, and thought I could find them at Dollarama. The manager told me they didn't have any, and to check next door at Bestco. Yes, why didn't I think of that? They had a large selection right inside to the left as I entered. I even found a purple Year of the Ox lucky amulet. The bakery section had numerous New Year desserts, including Nian Gao (New Year Sweet Cakes). Overall, I find the supermarket has reasonable prices, is well stocked and organized. It used to be difficult to find parking, especially on weekends, but currently there are plenty available.

This is one of my go-to supermarkets since it's usually well stocked, has fresh produce and is clean. The prices are pretty typical and you can expect a good selection of fresh greens, meat and seafood. They also have a hot food section and a bbq section which was recently renovated and seems to have been sold to a new owner (the bbq staff have all changed) with new prices to reflect the change. I gave the barbecue a try. Cha siu is now quite bland but the roast pork is still pretty good.

This huge Asian supermarket is located just east of Brimley Rd in the Chartwell Shopping Centre. I would place this store in the same category of a new Oceans in Mississauga, C&C Supermarket in North York or Foody World in Scarborough. You'll find here all the departments expected to lure in Asian shoppers; a hot prepared takeout area, Roasted/BBQ/Brine/Soya meats, seafood, bakery with nice special occasion cakes, fruits & produce galore, sushi, a freshly prepared crepe counter, a large beauty products department, etc. My main purpose here was to look for one specific brand of instant noodles! Facebook users said it was in stock...but it was not the case today! Prices seem reasonable, competitive and the selection is good but keep an eye on expiry dates. Look for the specials! The store is clean, appealing and checkouts seem to move along quickly.

Beef siomai takeout
Vannesa A.

Today, I ordered take out siomai due to social distancing. (Covid-19 pandemic) When I entered the door, a security guard handed me face mask and instructed me use the hand sanitizer. All shoppers did the same. I felt safe and secure for my health. I thank the store management to step up safety measures to provide to their shoppers. As I looked around, I would say 95% are wearing mask. I spotted some shoppers not wearing. This store did not run out of supplies except tissue. The dinning corner was closed. Parking lot is empty.

Be careful when buying fish here. They sometimes hide the rotten art on the bottom side or try to hide the rotten side under plastic wrap.

This is one of my go-to supermarkets for Asian products and fresh produce. There is a Tim Horton's in the same area, so it's nice to grab a cup and then do my shopping here. 1. Location is convenient (Brimley/Huntingwood) 2. The store is clean and well stocked 3. The hours are excellent: 8 am - 11 pm 4. Parking: I try not to come on weekends since it's difficult to find parking. You can try to find a spot behind the building. 5. Prices are comparable to other supermarkets and sometimes even lower. Great place to buy a case of mangos when in season. 6. They have a hot table where you can purchase cooked food and dim sum to go. I haven't tried any of these items but they're very busy, and it's a good idea for those who don't want to cook. 7. They accept credit cards (no apple pay)

Grand Opening Day at Bestco Food Mart was a nightmare... At least one for me as the whole neighbourhood decided to all come out to shop on this day?! If you have been to other flagship Supermarket: T&T, Ocean or Al Premium, I would tell you just come back when the hype die down. It doesn't worth fighting for a parking space in a smallish lot and then lining up with the Seniors that decided to stock up on bags of rice at $9.88 each, or Vita 6 pack drinks for $1.88. For people in the area, this is the biggest Asian grocery stores aside from T&T and the prices here are definitely cheaper. The selections though is quite standard. Hot Table area is kind of disappointed with the usual BBQ, Sushi, Chinese stir fried and dim sum. T&T definitely is way ahead of the game. Maybe it is grand opening day, a lot of the pastry and baked goods lack signges. I just could not figure out what some of the cookies are... I would definitely be back to pick up some odds and ends. But won't make a special trip to shop here. They do accept Visa, MC and Debit. Opens Daily from 8 am - 11 pm

2.5/5 If Foody Mart wasn't a thing, this parking lot just might have won the award for the most dysfunctional parking job ever. Entering the parking lot was already a challenge. I decided to enter via Huntingwood instead of Brimley, looking at the huge lineup...except when I went to the parking lot area none of the parking guards allowed me to proceed for at least 10 minutes...like really? There were at least 5 times where there was a respectable gap between cars, and the parking guard stood in front of me, not letting me go. The parking lot itself was a challenge, but having experienced Foody's parking lot this one isn't even half as bad. I managed to find a space in about 90 seconds. This supermarket has a shortage of shopping carts. I went through every single shopping cart area, including the inside, and there were absolutely zero shopping carts. I did manage to find the small rolling carts inside after one person abandoned theirs. Food selection is standard for a Chinese supermarket, better than Foody (with better produce quality as well), and about the same level as T&T, with overall lower prices. The Pacific Gold Rice for $9.88 were sold out by noon today, even though it was a limit of 1 per family (though I saw a group of people taking 2 of them while lining up at the cashier). Hot food/sushi area was disappointing, ended up not buying anything. Lines were ridiculously long. I thought Foody was bad, but I had a 40 minute lineup at around 12:30pm, even with all 14 counters open. The English translations were horrible in the store. At the food court section there's a sign that says "Please Kindly To Wait Here" staring right in front of you. I saw a lot of Caucasians just staring at that sign laughing. I know it's a minor issue, but you'd think in an area where it's mixed Asian and Caucasians they would hire better translators. I would probably not come back unless there is a major discount in products I normally buy.

3 color bread, will try it next time!

I like this supermarket, it's neat and clean (just way out of my way to come here) I decided to come here one day because people were telling me the food court food was really good and they don't really cook dinner anymore. Before I began grocery shopping, I tried the food. food court chinese food - it was great price and the food tasted really good. sushi - it's not great, just a bit better than the ones from T&T Vietnamese dessert - I think they should just skip it, it was nasty. groceries - they have a lot of selection, the prices are fair, I'm not sure how to tell if they are fresh, I just buy it if I needed it. I heard some horror stories about parking here, I came on a weekday night and parking was easy and plenty of space.

Some of the takeout food from the kitchen (beef, porkchop, fish fillet with tofu and shiitake with choysum)

King Fresh Foodmarket

4.5(2 reviews)
19.1 km•Entertainment District, Downtown Core, Waterfront Communities-The Island

(Shopped 09/13/2025 SA @ 12:00pm): This market was definitely on King St., but I didn't focus too…read moremuch on any fresh food offerings! It was the second to last day of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival when I finally poked into King Fresh Foodmarket for a look around and some potential snacks instead of an actual meal. I'd passed this place on several occasions while I either waited in line for a movie or rushed by to get to one. I was on the hunt for anything random and portable to snack on. Would I feel funky fresh and feast like a king after I shopped in this food market!? PURCHASE(S) Lay's Potato Chips Italian Red Meat Flavor 70g Bag ($2.99CAD): I think this was supposed to taste like meat sauce because that's what I got from it - not bad. Lay's Potato Chips Mexican Chicken Tomato Flavor 70g Bag ($2.99CAD): This simply tasted like tomato to me, and I couldn't think of a Mexican chicken tomato dish that this was to resemble. Lay's Potato Chips Spicy Crayfish Flavor 70g Bag ($2.99CAD): This reminded me of spicy shrimp chips, which I didn't mind. Muskoka Brewery Mad Tom IPA Beer 16floz Can ($4.49CAD): Dark amber color, citrusy hoppy aroma, low body, citrusy hoppy malty flavor, drying smooth finish, and citrusy hoppy aftertaste. The artwork caught my attention while I truly enjoyed this beer. Banana ($0.75CAD): I needed something healthy to eat to counteract all of the salty snacks. Reusable Bag ($0.49CAD): I needed a bag to carry my snacks, but I ended up losing it... SERVICE Aside from the lone male at the checkout counter, I didn't see anyone else, and he didn't really leave his station. No worries, I was simply casing the joint from aisle to aisle as I collected bags of chips, beer, and fruit. It was all easy-peasy - thank you! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I was constantly in the area all day throughout the Toronto International Film Festival, so I simply walked. Otherwise, there were spots along the many main and surrounding streets, some nearby structures, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A quasi convenience store and mini-mart (not enough elements to be considered a grocery), with an impressive selection of candies, refrigerated drinks, and snack foods, that filled the shelves aisle after aisle. Outside of the customary promotional shelftalkers and standees, the rest of the place was rather rudimentary and no-nonsense with a touch of an underground bunker feel (I believed it actually was in a basement). A minimal amount of natural lighting came in through the front doors and raised windows, while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while pop music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL King Fresh Foodmarket purely surprised me with what I found inside and eventually walked away with, so I would definitely check them out again. If you knew me, you knew I loved beer, salty snacks, and sweets, and if I saw anything within these types of food that was out of the ordinary or just odd, I had to try it! The prices seemed very comparable, they had a wondrous selection of items (although I didn't recall anything freshly-made), and the service was efficient and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $16.50CAD BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Very organized snack shop with a ton of variety! Everything…read moreis so aesthetically arranged and categorized. They had snacks which I had never seen before, not even in regular Asian grocers. Prices are reasonable
