I was shopping around for an authentic Japanese Donabe and went to Sanko since they specialize in…read moreJapanese imported items. In the end, I decided to buy elsewhere since the prices here are heavily marked up by 2 times or more compared to other stores. They sell Onigiri but it's overpriced and too much rice with very little filling. This store also doesn't accept cash if your purchase is less than 10 bucks. Location is closer to me but I'd rather go to other Asian stores selling way cheaper alternatives for Japanese good/pantry staples.

Sanko Trading located along Queen St. W. and Claremont St. is my go to Japanese grocery store…read moredowntown. I've been to this grocery store throughout the years purchasing Japanese products, usually ramen, snacks, pasta sauce, and freshly made onigiri. The store has plenty of Japanese sauces, teas, snacks, noodles, condiments, and a small section of frozen foods and produce. Half of the store also has Japanese porcelain - bowls, plates, cups, etc. The staff are always super friendly and if you want to use visa there is a $10 minimum spend (which is hard not to do). Sometimes in the summer Sanko also has a clearance sale where you can get discounted Japanese porcelain for cheap (sometimes the bowls and cups have some imperfections but they are not that noticeable). Overall, my fave Japanese grocery store in the Trinity Bellwoods are! A must visit if you want to find some Japanese groceries or porcelain.

My family and I had just eaten at the Pacific Mall, but man, wish we had saved ourselves for this spot. As far as an Asian grocery stores go, this is one of the cleaner, and better organized ones that I have been to, maybe ever. Not only are they clean, but they have a great variety of snacks and drinks, as well as your standard fare for everyday cooking. To me, the star of this place has to be their prepared foods area. Evidently after 8pm, they mark down lots of their prepared food items. From dim sum, to noodles, fried rice and other entrees, you can score plenty of items for $4-6 which were normally 2-3x that. I felt like a kid in a candy store and began snatching and hording all the things. I had to stop and remind myself we were on vacation, and would be living out of hotels for the next few days, so I limited myself to just a handful of items. We got some noodles, fried rice and dumplings, which we would end up eating for breakfast over the next few days. While nothing was mind blowing per se, the food was solid and certainly economical. If I lived in this area, I could see myself coming here on the regular just for the prepared foods. OVERALL - almost wish I hadn't come to this place, so I'd never knew what I was missing. Thank you Canada for showing me what's possible. CELEBRITY RATING - Simu Liu

The most special thing of it is that it has a kitchen that provides Taiwanese food. You can buy Taiwanese-style Bento (lunchbox). We ordered fried chicken and pork chop bentos this time. The fried food was very chripsy and flavourful. The rice was cooked very delicately, just like how Taiwanese chefs do. They were a bit pricy but it's invaluable to let people from Taiwan to feel the sense of reminiscence of hometown.

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!
