The older staff and managers seem to be helpful if you can find one, but there is a consistent irritating issue with --in my experience -- many of the younger employees. The store is quite large, probably one of the largest supermarkets in the City. This means it is sometimes difficult to find where items are, especially if it is something other than the basics. Almost without fail, when you ask a question about where something is located, you will get a precise answer. Trouble is that it is almost always wrong. (One Saturday, I had to ask a clerk three times and after three trips still couldn't find my item. Finally I just said "Do you know that (the item) is in that aisle or are you just guessing?" Answer: "Well, I thought it might be." This was the fourth visit in a row with a similar scenario where I was sent running around because someone guessed, or made something up, or answered with a location even though, as it turned out, they didn't even know what the item was I asked for was! (Anchovies, if you're wondering.) How hard is it to call someone else if you don't know an answer? Management--Train your staff members to either answer questions correctly or find someone else who can. If they don't know an answer, admit it. It makes a customer feel devalued to get sent on a wild goose chase -- or two or three -- because it is easier to guess or make something up rather than admit you don't know and find the proper person to deal with it. *Sigh* I really wouldn't take time to write this for a single incident, but it happens all the time at this store and it is so easily preventable with a few minutes training. I like the President's Choice products though, so an extra star for them--if I can find them.

The food offerings here consist of the basic Chinese dishes & items featuring Cantonese and Szechuan dishes and a few Vietnamese dishes too. They also offer Canadian dishes such as chicken nuggets, fish & chips, scallops, clams, poutines, fries, and onion rings. The prices here are moderate, most dishes $8.95-$19.95. 16 Chinese Combination Dinners served with chicken fried rice & egg roll ($9.95-$13.95) and 3 Vietnamese Combinations ($15.95-$17.95) are offered.

Items on the buffet may include wonton soup, egg rolls, chicken balls, chicken wings, fried wontons, chicken fried rice, chicken chow mein, beef with broccoli, spare ribs, moo goo gai pan, beef with green beans, and Chinese macaroni. I stopped in here recently for Sunday lunch. The supper buffet was minimally stocked at the noon opening time, not all items posted were on the buffet yet. Since I was on a schedule, I decided on takeout and ordered Combination 2 - Egg Roll, Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Balls, and Chicken Chow Mein ($9.95 plus HST). The food was ready to go in under 10 minutes. The good portion of food was pretty good and tasted fresh. The chicken chow mein had mix of shredded cabbage, onion, carrot, strips of tender white meat chicken & crunchy noodles in a light sauce. The fried rice was freshly made with a soft texture and had very small pieces of chicken in the mix. The 5 deep fried battered chicken balls had tender pieces of white meat chicken inside and firm outside.The Canadian style egg roll was filled with a soft dense ground meat mix. Sweet & sour dipping sauce was provided. (3.6/5.0)

To describe Bulk Barn, it's like "Honest Weight" (a store in Albany NY) on steroids! This store is…read moredefinitely a baker's paradise! Bulk Barn carries thousands of bulk items (almost everything I can think of and more) including spices, grains, flour, oats, confections, candies, chocolates, nuts, dried fruits, popping corn, seeds, snacks, nut butters, sugars, sweeteners, coffee, drink mixes, cake mixes, dried beans, rice, pasta, cereals, soup stocks, pet foods, and much more, all self serve bagged & tagged (write down item number) and weighed by the pound or 100 grams. Ingredients for the products are clearly displayed next to the price(s). They also carry vitamins & herbal supplements, as well as plenty of baking supplies and Wilton cake decorating supplies. I was very impressed by the massive selection of bulk foods that Bulk Barn carries in their store. What is great about this concept is that you can buy what you need and don't have to buy entire packages of specific ingredients for a recipe. If you need only 1/2 lb of flour, you can buy 1/2 lb of flour and not have to purchase a whole 5 lb bag of flour. The prices here are decent for Canadian standards, but seemed high for an American. Just to note, I've seen much lower prices for many of the same bulk goods sold in the USA, most of which are prepackaged. For example, pine nuts were around $30/lb at Bulk Barn and I can get pine nuts in the USA for about $24 for 1 lb - eight 2 oz packages at $2.99 each. Sam's Club in Bangor ME had pine nuts for $9.93 for 15 oz (in Sept 2012). Pasta (wheat) was over $3/lb at Bulk Barn and pasta is usually around $0.99/lb on sale in the USA. The prices for peanuts and bagged snacks at Bulk Barn seemed pretty reasonable. Also, look out for Bulk Barn sales flyers in the newspapers which have coupons attached (ie. $3 off $10 purchase before taxes).
