I was so excited when I found out Bestco was opening in downtown! They have a really great…read moreselection from Asian snacks, ice cream, and standard groceries to seasonal items like mooncakes. Prices are comparable (if not cheaper) than the supermarkets in Chinatown, which is a huge plus. They also have a hot bar where you can grab food by the pound. Most of the options are deep fried, so not the healthiest, but it hits the spot if you need something quick, definitely gives Panda Express vibes. On top of that, there's a small skincare section with decent prices and even some Jellycats tucked in (so cute!). Downstairs, there's a little boba shop. I tried their cheese grape drink, which was not too sweet and came with fun jelly toppings. Overall, I'm really happy to have Bestco nearby and will definitely be doing most of my grocery shopping here.

Finally! I've been eagerly awaiting the opening of this incredible grocery store and today was the…read moreday! Fresh produce, meats, and seafood. Dried goods, frozen foods, kitchenware. Health/beauty products and toys?! The second floor footprint is huge! They have organized the space and truly maximized all the square footage. The shelves are all fully stocked with products that have been meticulously placed. Rows upon rows of beverages, snacks, instant noodles, etc. You'll find a variety of mostly East Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese) and other multicultural foods. Who needs a $388 cuboid watermelon? Staff are eager to assist the best they can. The current grand opening promo is spend $100 and get a $10 voucher. If you were one of the first 100 people in the store today, you received a $20 voucher. Welcome to the neighbourhood! I've been telling everyone I know!

For me yellow is good green is bad. At this place the bananas are green! Having said that; over all this store is not bad. The prices are decent and grocery is well stocked, and they have most of the brands I care about. I feel that all grocery stores are the same. But I guess the same could be said about any business. The staff is not very helpful but then again what do they know!

What a fabulous find in the middle of downtown!…read more Fantastic selection of various Asian fresh, frozen and pantry staples - imported & local. It's mostly focused on Chinese ingredients, but they have enough items for Korean and Japanese that you can get by with in a pinch. They also seem to have separate mini boutiques for assorted tchotchkes and beauty products which I didn't investigate. The store looked pretty new and very clean. They also had an impressive array of hot and cold foods to-go that looked quite good, although I didn't try any. If I have any complaint, it is the fact that most of the vegetables are prepackaged in miles of plastic wrap and styrofoam... it is shocking to see. But aside from that, I'd have to say this beats the T&T by a good margin, and I am a T&T devotee from when they opened their first store in Burnaby in the early 90's!

Outside of your everyday Asian products, they had a lot of prepared food - sushi, side dishes, including kimchi, etc, dim sum, fried foods, hot buffet with all your popular Chinese foods. I went back few days later to grab some food for dinner. I got some items from the buffet, dim sum, order of fried shrimp tempura and kimchi. Skip the kimchi, the dim sum was decent and the food from the buffet was worth it. Check out moves quickly, the staff behind the buffet were very helpful. Make sure to bring your own bag.

Checkout was quick even though I didn't get a thank you (for shopping here). Then again, somehow I didn't expect one!

Bestco Food Mart is a large Asian supermarket located in Chartwell Plaza in Scarborough. Within the…read moreaisles there's a plethora of goods from Japan, Korea, Vietnam, The Philippines, china and more. We found that the ratio of products from Asian countries other than china is significantly higher than we've seen in other Asian/Chinese grocery stores. The produce is on the right when entering the store and meat department at the back. I was on the lookout for ube but hadn't seen it at other stores. There's frozen ube in this supermarket along with lumpia and turon. The breads section is quite large and next to that is the hot foods section with bbq meats as well. There was a section near the hot foods that used be filled with books and cds but now is Petit-Chef Tang selling Chinese crepes. When comparing prices to similar stores Bestco is fairly competitive. There are plenty of cheaper items but some are more expensive. They offer curb side pickup for groceries. By the cashiers there's many baskets filled with groceries and ready for customers to take them home. The Bruno compact hot plate seems to be all the rage these days and Best Food Mart was not to be left out of selling these. They were on sale for $119 and the various plates were available as well - takoyaki plate, cupcake plate, ceramic-coated pot and ceramic-coated pot with a divider.
