I went back to the store hoping to exchange the other frozen fish I bought at the same time, but the store completely refused to help. They kept repeating that frozen meat must be returned within one day. I politely requested several times just to exchange the remaining frozen fish, but the lady at customer service was extremely rude and showed no interest in helping. This was a very disappointing and frustrating experience. Selling poor quality frozen food and then refusing to help customers is unacceptable. The customer service was terrible. This is one of the worst stores to buy frozen foods from. I should give 0 rating but 1 is the option that i can do here

This asian grocery store is located inside Bridlewood Mall. The main intersections are Warden Ave…read moreand Finch Ave E. If you are looking for groceries across the globe then this place will check most of your boxes. There's meat butcher station to select fresh meats by the pound. There's a fresh seafood stand to select live and fresh seafood. One thing I notice here is that the air ventilation here is good. You don't smell seafood all over the store. I really like the frozen food section as you can find many different seafood, dimsum, Filipino hot dogs and sausages, korean dumplings, and the list goes on. If you're not a chef you can definitely find some delicious ready to cook food here. Overall, this is a welcome addition to the mall if you are looking for reasonable prices and fresh seafood, meat and produce.

Last Wednesday, I headed to Harvey's to grab some dinner. I also needed to do some grocery…read moreshopping. I remembered Hong Tai Supermarket in the same plaza as Harvey's. Perfect! Groceries. Grub. Go! I had no problem finding a parking spot steps away from the grocery store's main entrance. I backed into a spot that faced Harvey's drive-thru entrance and walked in. There is a sign near the front door that says to not take photos. Oops! Well, I did and no one really cared. Many stores are gearing up for Lunar New Year. I was greeted by everything from candy to nuts. There were plenty of decorations for the occasion if you need some. It wasn't me crazy busy at around 6: 30 pm, but there was steady business. The aisles are nice and wide in the produce section, which I appreciated. Many folks with carts could park them off to the side and not stop the flow of shoppers walking around. I needed celery and avocados. I found them rather quickly. Celery was $5, which is clearly insane, but it is the new price norm. Each celery stalk (the whole bunch and not the rib, which is the singular piece) was packed in cellophane. You have the option of getting avocados in a bag or individually. I used to do the former, but could never consume my avocados as quickly as I would like. I do the latter these days and grabbed a couple, which works out better. The fruits and veggies looked fresh and healthy. I was happy. The bakery section is rather small. It's in a little corner close to the produce. I loved looking at the almond cookies and Swiss rolls. Yum! I browsed around, as I had got everything that I needed produce-wise. I wandered into the snack section and it took a while to leave. My favourite garlic chicharron was available, so I snagged a bag. I also got a bag of mushroom Frito Lay's chips. I love anything mushroom and the flavour was on point. If you dislike the texture of mushrooms, you can eliminate it by getting a bag. Of course, if you dislike anything mushroom, you may want to grab a different flavour. I became nostalgic looking at all the Vita varieties. I drank many Vita juice boxes as a kid. Guava, blackcurrant, and lemon were my favourites. I still love those flavours in practically everything that I consume these days. This place also has my favourite coated peanuts. It was tempting to get my go-to flavour, the coconut cream. The chicken and tom yum flavours caught my attention. I should try them next time I'm here. The tea section is excellent. I loved the varieties available. I could live in this section alone. I went to the cashout area to pay. There were many cashiers available. This store only accepts cash and debit cards only. You are out of luck using credit cards here. The woman who cashed me out was efficient and to the point. She asked if I needed a bag. I declined. I could carry them all to my car and save a plastic bag. I tapped with my debit card. Done! I thanked the woman and headed to my car. I had to walk by a man who was smoking between his car and mine. I quickly placed my groceries and me in my car, closed the door to escape dying from second-hand smoke, and hit Wendy's to get dinner. I loved shopping here. It was great changing up my grocery shopping and dinner scene. I'll be back. (14)

The entrance opens up into the produce section and transitions to the seafood department and then meat along the back wall. I was looking for plant-based meat products and didn't see them along the wall. There were a couple of staff working nearby and I asked if they had what I was looking for. Since they didn't work in that department they pointed me to the wall of refrigerated meat. Luckily, an employee working in the department was able to take me directly to the freezer that had what I was looking for. Some more meandering up and down aisles and I found most of what I was looking for. I did notice a man on his phone standing in front of the cake display. I'm not sure if he was looking to pick up a cake since he kept glancing over at a staff working nearby but she paid him no mind and continued what she was doing. I had a few coupons to use during this grocery run. The cashier had to call over a superior a couple of times to override something but she got it all sorted out.

I was so excited when I found out Bestco was opening in downtown! They have a really great…read moreselection from Asian snacks, ice cream, and standard groceries to seasonal items like mooncakes. Prices are comparable (if not cheaper) than the supermarkets in Chinatown, which is a huge plus. They also have a hot bar where you can grab food by the pound. Most of the options are deep fried, so not the healthiest, but it hits the spot if you need something quick, definitely gives Panda Express vibes. On top of that, there's a small skincare section with decent prices and even some Jellycats tucked in (so cute!). Downstairs, there's a little boba shop. I tried their cheese grape drink, which was not too sweet and came with fun jelly toppings. Overall, I'm really happy to have Bestco nearby and will definitely be doing most of my grocery shopping here.

Rows upon rows of beverages, snacks, instant noodles, etc. You'll find a variety of mostly East Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese) and other multicultural foods. Who needs a $388 cuboid watermelon? Staff are eager to assist the best they can. The current grand opening promo is spend $100 and get a $10 voucher. If you were one of the first 100 people in the store today, you received a $20 voucher. Welcome to the neighbourhood! I've been telling everyone I know!

At Tone Tai Supermarket in Peanut Plaza, you can expect a solid lineup of produce and a tempting…read morearray of snacks, all reasonably priced. You'll find the selection broad enough to keep your pantry happy. However, venture towards the meats and seafood, and there's a distinct aroma that wafts from these sections, and let's just say it's more deterrent than inviting. It's the kind of smell that makes you reconsider buying. So, while the supermarket scores points for snacks and veggies, it might not be your go-to for "fresh" fish or steak. Also, pretty impossible to track down someone working, so hold your questions.

Gleaming beautiful FRESH fish and no "fishy" smell. Chinese New Year and Têt decorations abounded including festive, happy music. Tons of sweets from Vietnam (exactly the same as I saw when I visited Vietnam), cookies, savoury snacks - DROOL. This store has items from Japan, Korea, PRC, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia. The produce counter is impressive.

I needed to pick up a few grocery items, so dropping by Food World Supermarket afterwards was perfect. This building used to Rose Garden Banquet and Convention. I'm guessing that due to the pandemic, this business suffered and shut down. There is plenty of parking in front and around this supermarket. I backed into a spot and walked in. The doors automatically open, which is wonderful. This supermarket is located across from Burger King. I often frequent it when I crave a flame-broiled burger. Both are in the same plaza as Wok of Asia. It's clean and cheerful when you first walk in. You see cases of pop and sparking water. The produce section then greets you. I needed avocados and celery. Prices are either comparable to what you see at grocery stores like No Frills, but the quality is better. Both produce items that I grabbed were fresh and in great condition. This grocery store carries halal items. It features a lot of South Asian products, such as Parle-G and paratha. You also see ramen and Ribena, both of which made me love shopping at this store even more. I saw everything from custard to paneer. It does sell corned beef in cans and rose water in glass bottles. Cool! The meat section is impressive. It's huge with every cut of meat that you can possibly think of. You can get food to go. There's a stall within the supermarket where you can get pizza, shawarma, and more. I paid for my produce. The woman at the checkout was extremely pleasant and nice. I paid with my debit card. This store gives you a plastic bag. I thanked her and headed to the exit. Just before you exit, there's a stall that sells desserts, ice cream, drinks, and more. I asked the woman behind the counter whether their drinks have added sugar. They don't. The store goes with the natural sweetness of their fruit or veggies. I wanted to get the sugar cane and coconut hydrating beverage. She had run out of coconut, so I got a large sugar cane drink. As she made my drink, I looked at the desserts display. There were individual portions of chocolate mousse cake and sponge cakes. You can also get milkshakes, ice cream, and more. She asked whether I wanted ice in my sugar cane drink. I said as much as the cup could fit the ice. It was perfect on a hot day. I asked the nice woman how long this supermarket has been open for. It opened on May 18th. I paid with my debit card. Done! I thanked the woman and left with my groceries and drink. The sugarcane was indeed the real deal. It was naturally sweet and yummy. I was happy with my drink. It was nice consuming it as I drove home. Whenever I was in the area to grab some dinner, there was never a supermarket close by to get a few grocery items. It's definitely more convenient now thanks to this Food World. (174)

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!
