Wow, these guys have really stepped up their game since closing down their location on Selkirk and…read moremoving to this location on McArthur! This location is bigger, brighter and cleaner! It's where the old McArthur Lanes Bowling Alley used to be. Green Fresh Supermarket is an Asian supermarket. It has lots of fresh produce, frozen items, refrigerated items, and shelf stable items. I was impressed with the amount of bubble tea ingredients they had. They had not just tapioca and jelly but also popping boba, and agar pearls. I have not seen the latter 2 at any supermarket before. They also have the lowest prices in the city that I've seen for Kracie DIY candy kits imported from Japan ($4.99). Their prices are a bit cheaper than other Asian supermarkets in general. They have a weekly flyer with even more discounts posted on their website. There is a bubble tea shop inside the supermarket called World Tea House and also a kiosk that sells bubble waffles called Nana Egg Bubbles. They don't have any other prepared foods though (like no BBQ station) and no Bakery. If you're looking for Asian items, you'll likely find it here. Free parking in their private parking lot.

I like the new Green Fresh. It's better than the old location. It's cleaner and more selection. But…read morethe shelves are sometimes empty when I go. Prices are mostly cheap, but some items are expensive. They have a bubble waffle store and a bubble tea store inside.

I was first introduced to Adonis when I was living in Toronto, so was happy to see they came to…read moreOttawa. Adonis sells mostly Middle Eastern food products. I love their baked goods, especially their meat pies and desserts. They have a lot of different types of baklava. I like their prepared foods too. They have lots of cooked meats with rice. The place is big. It's a fun place to shop. Service is friendly, but my son gave me a gift card and it was a big hassle to use it. They have to call the manager to process the gift card. The manager needs to use a special machine and apparently their Wi-Fi is spotty so the machine wasn't working properly and it took so long to finish the transaction. At least they apologized, but I've told my son not to buy me gift cards at Adonis again.

Huge supermarket with lots of African foods. I was hoping to get some prepared foods, but when I…read morewent on a Wednesday afternoon, their prepared foods counter was empty. Nonetheless, I was impressed by their selection of African ingredients. They have produce, refrigerated foods, frozen items, and a butcher at the back. They sell beauty products like hair care and skin care as well. And purses and other accessories. Prices were ok. Some items like TinNel's beef patties were $14.99 for a box of 10 while they are only $10.99 at big box supermarkets. However, they had Tastees Patties, which are harder to find here in Ottawa. They do have many products that are not available at big box grocery stores. Staff were pleasant. There's free parking in the parking lot in front of the store.

They have a little bit of everything. Lots of noodles, sauces, canned goods, etc. They also have some fresh fruits and frozen items. I loved their selection of imported drinks! This grocery store is where the Trudel Home Hardware used to be and I love how the back wall had tools and other items that the hardware store used to sell. The store is spacious, bright, clean and well organized. I grabbed a Strawberry Fanta and it was only $1.50. The man at the cash register was friendly. He told me they've been open for about 6 months now. Funny story, as I was uploading the pictures I took onto Yelp, I realized I snapped an accidental shot while approaching the cash register. In the photo was the ceiling with the flags of the countries around the world hanging from it. I didn't even notice this while I was in the store, but it's so cool. Sometimes things that were unintentional, end up being the coolest of all ;) Downtown Ottawa definitely needs a store like this. Happy that they opened up. May they live long and prosper ;)

A landmark was lost in Ottawa when the little Home Hardware in the Byward Market closed up shop…read more It's been replaced by this little grocery shop. Cool little shop to grab some basics in the area. It's like a Byward Market grocery store with more pantry items and a bit less groceries. A lot of staples you'd find at the ethnic isle at some of the major grocery stores here. Nice little addition to the area.

I had no idea this place had fried chicken until a friend told me! We called ahead to order the…read moresweet and spicy whole chicken. It was $32 + tax. It was a tiny bit soggy by the time we drove home but still really good. I like the sauce a lot, and the portion is great for the price. It comes with a small side of pickled daikon, but it wasn't that pickled - could be better but a minor detail overall. The lady at the cashier was also super nice. The assortment of groceries looked really good too. They carry a lot of Korean food that I'm not sure where else you would find in Ottawa, and a few Japanese items as well.

You can order ahead or pick from the prepared food on the right of the cashier. I only wish the sweet and spicy sauce was spicier (it was very very mild to us) but they recently added a new soy & chili flavour that can scale up on the spice. It wasn't greasy and probably one of the better places for KFC by Ottawa standards. TIP: if you're getting take out and worried about the sauce making the chicken soft while you drive home, you can ask for the sauce on the side! They have plenty of Korean ingredients, snacks, noodles and a killer homemade kimchi that I believe is freshest on Fridays. There isn't much fresh produce but they do have lots of meats. Prices are a bit higher here but they're well stocked. The location is very clean and the staff are friendly. There's only street parking in front of the store but you can park in the lot across the street where the LCBO is.

TLDR: Imported Asian snacks, drinks, makeup and skincare. Fair prices. Friendly service…read more Anyone who even knows me a little bit knows that I love imported snacks and drinks. So I knew that I would love Mergi Shop. It's been open for a while, but I only recently made my way down there. It's in a rougher part of town, hence the bars on the windows. Public drug use, vandalism and acts of violence are common in this area, especially in the last few years. The store inside is brightly lit, clean and well-organized. Staff are friendly, greeting you as you enter, but leave you to browse on your own. If you need assistance though, they will help. I came to buy a specific Japanese mascara base (the Japanese make the best mascaras, IMO). Unfortunately, they didn't have it, but they had other items, including regular mascara of the same brand (Kiss Me Heroine Make). I got a mascara ($18.79) and decided to try their liquid eyeliner ($16.49) too, since the store was having a 10% off sale and I wanted to make my trip down there worthwhile, lol. They had lots of chips and other snacks from Asia and also imported drinks. They had mostly items from Japan and Korea that are harder to find. Not stuff from China that you can easily get at Kowloon Supermarket, Green Fresh or T&T. Their prices are very fair considering they are imported goods and rarer to find in Ottawa. I really enjoyed poking around looking at stuff in this store. Street parking only. (88)
