For those that are from the States, T&T Supermarkets are basically Canada's version of a 99 Ranch,…read morea known parent organization as well. It is deemed as "Asian" supermarket and does seem to carry a diverse selection but I'd say it is primarily Chinese especially due to the presence of Chinese fast food, roast duck, and pig in the food court area. Said food court area came in clutch for an easy, affordable dinner (pricing determined by weight) after landing at nearby Calgary International Airport. In addition to the usual produce, Asian snacks, seafood and meat sections, they uniquely have a whole aisle dedicated to Asian beauty products which I regarded with high interest. Some of the grab and go items -- namely the baos -- were a little expensive, but overall pricing was so-so. Parking lot was huge making for an easy-going shopping experience.

A truly gem for me as a person who often cooks Indonesian foods mostly from scratch. and this store has fulfill my needs so far. The only minus is the location isn't in Edmonton. I have never found lemon basil at Asian grocers in Edmonton unless you go to farmers markets or nurseries and buy the plants. Hong Kong Market had them last summer which made me happy. I just wished this store is in Edmonton.

From their extensive Chinese herbs section to their authentic Chinese BBQ department - anything Asian you desire can be found here. The staff were helpful and friendly. A stockman directed me to some mango gummy candies my lady adores. He was great - the fact that the candy was 2 years beyond expiration - not so much. That being said, this supermarket seemingly had everything one would need to prepare authentic far-Eastern cuisine at home. I preferred this market to TnT - I found it more comfortable to shop it, and way less crowded. The only caveat I would add to that is make sure to check the expiration dates on what you're buying!

I cook Japanese and Korean food so need a lot of items that you can't get at a Canadian grocery store. This store has good sales on items I sometimes need. If not here I will find more compatible prices at T&T or A-Mart. I like this store because there is a lot of choices and variety all the way from noodle to prepared for immediate cooking meat products to fresh vegetables. Sauces and condiments are one of their strong points. Store is clean and easy to navigate. Check outs are usually pretty quick. Doesn't take long to spend a few bucks here but it's all worth it.

It's cleaner…read moreand more organized than E-Mart and Arirang, but the prices on most of their items are way higher than their 2 competitors. They have a good selection of veggies that you normally use for korean dishes and their pre-made side dish corner is great as well. I have tried their Kimchi and raw squid with spicy sauce, and they were good. They also have some snacks, frozen goods, and candies that both E-Mart and Arirang do not carry, which is nice. The service is okay, most of the employees stocking the shelves don't ask if you need anything, even when you seem like you're lost or looking for something you couldn't find. Their cashiers are pretty quick even though I have only seen one till open, mind you, it's never busy when we visit. There has only been 5-7 people at most whenever we came for groceries. Overall, A-mart is a good korean grocery store closer to people living in the SE, but just keep an eye on the prices and wait for sales for your favorite items.

A+ for A-Mart. This small sister store to Arirang on 10th avenue is clean, bright and deceivingly…read morepacked with Korean, Japanese and Asian delicacies. I LOVE that the product labels have clear English translations and prices. Never will I ever again buy gochujang thinking I picked up a mild spicy level, but in actuality it's lap-dance-on-your-tongue. The Korean staples are all there: kimchi, hot pepper pastes and flakes, soybean pastes, soy sauces, oodles of noodle etc. There's also standard Asian produce along with Korean must-haves such as peeled garlic cloves, Perilla leaves, and chili peppers. Marinated meats are also available to bbq at home. Be sure to pick up some freshly, homemade side dishes such as seasoned baby crab and kimbap. The aisles are stocked with enough Korean snacks, and dried goods to satisfy your taste buds during a zombie apocalypse. Also super handy to have during the apocalypse are 16 litre kimchi Tupperwares big enough for a lifetime supply of kimchi (for a non-Korean), or one week's supply for Koreans. If you're environmentally friendly, A-Mart also supplies earthen kimchi pots in their humble kitchenware corner. Don't be afraid to walk on the Korean side at A-Mart. Hearing Gangnam Style as you wander the store will make you feel right at home. They get brownie points for ALMOST getting me to dance...almost. :)

I believe after T&T opened, it diverted a lot of businesses away. Some of their prices were not bad. I found it interesting how they can have joss paper sold in front of the dead animals/ meat section. They have King's Seafood inside Lambda. They also have Maxim Bakery in here as well. Technically, this could be a one stop grocery store. But again T&T is also a one stop grocery store too. It does look like a typical Chinese/Asian grocery store. Yes Lambda has been around for a long time. They do close quite early at 7pm. Back in 2017, my issues was that I couldn't make it there at 7pm. Parking is limited here.

First, don't even think about parking in the lot unless you hate your car. Its all SUVs jammed into 'smart-car-sized parking spots... Pay a buck and park on the street. What you save inside will easily pay for it. Prices are way better here, selection is good for fish, meat, produce and all the sauces, spices and condiments you'll find at the big guys. We paid half what we normally pay at T&T for thin sliced pork and lamb today, and found all the fresh veg we needed too. Nice little bakery too. And there were no screaming kids, or people smashing into your ankles with shopping carts. The only thing missing is the hot food counter. I don't need that every time... I think I was addicted to T&T because of having Forbidden City in the same building, but I can easily substitute it with Sun's BBQ (yum, next door) from time to time...
