Well, this is a cute little Mediterranean grocery store where you can buy unusual food and…read moreingredients. It's located in a strip mall, and isn't all that big, but it serves its purpose all the same. They sell a bunch of different stuff like canned goods, fresh vegetables, and even hookah pipes and coals. This surprised me when I went in. And, man, do they have some good prices in there! I mean, I bought a giant bag of carrots for only $1.50, something that would cost at least $3 in a regular supermarket. They were also selling bags of ginger for only $0.99. I don't use ginger that much, but at that price I couldn't refuse. Now I need to make some for dinner consisting of carrots and ginger! I might just go out of my way to stop by here. A regular grocery store would sell the same stuff as this place, but for much more money. I guess you pay for the convenience of having large chains nearby.

It's a total fluke that I stumbled upon this place, but I am super glad that I did…read more This store carries a wide variety of Mediterranean groceries and when I went, it wasn't busy at all! The prices are AMAZING and their selection is impressive. They've got everything from baklava to Jordan almonds, fresh produce to halwa. It's conveniently located in a strip mall that's got a ginormous Shopper's Drug Mart, and yes, a Tim Horton's as well. Do some shoppin', have some java and get all the ingredients you need for that fab Mediterranean dinner, all in one stop. What could be better?

It is the biggest of the Korean grocery stores in Calgary and carries the essentials and more. They have a large freezer, produce and meat section. There's also sashimi dishes in the back corner of the store near the produce. Any Calgarian should fit right in because Koreans love beef just as much as we do! They have a great beef selection for Korean BBQ as well as pork. If you're sick of paying premium prices at T&T for thinly sliced hot pot meats, E-Mart offers them for practically half the price. The cafe section serves authentic fresh to order goodies like kimbap (Korean sushi), fried chicken wings, rice cakes and instant ramen. I was still full from lunch, so I made a mental note to return another time for some fresh and cheap Korean munchies. I spent a good half hour exploring this store and I was able to get some good deals. Unfortunately E-Mart isn't the best one stop shop for a deal on everything, so I had to stop by Arirang on 10th Ave for cheaper gochugaru. Calgary SW is becoming a great part of the city to get your Korean on. You should totally stop by E-Mart for some culture shocks, sashimi and more - it's truly an Asian haven within the otherwise boring confines of Cow Town.

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.

Lambda is located very close to downtown. Their produce and meat are a hit and miss. Their shelves…read moreare not fully stocked at times. Some of their produce were not very fresh when I came. 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...

They have some good looking produce, some of which is very cheap, some of which is overpriced, so take care if you're watching your budget. They have a large variety of frozen goods and seafood given the size of the store. If you're and instant noodle fanatic, look no further! So many flavours and brands, though mostly Korean. Also have some ready made food. The only reason I give them one less star is because some items are not consistently stocked and expensive pricing on some of the items. Friendly staff too! Check it out if youre interested in cooking Japanese or Korean cuisine.

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.
