    Mooncake mould (white spring contraption) from Ming Wo to stamp beautiful mooncakes on your dough.

    What a beautiful store. I was looking for a very specific item, called a Mooncake Mould to make Chinese mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I could not find the mooncake mould in over 8 stores in Richmond and the surrounding Lower Mainland. My friends told me to buy online, but I needed the item during the festival time to make my strawberry mochi snowskin mooncakes. Ming Wo on Granville Street has them for $6 - $7 each, for 50g - 63g sizes. You can see them in the photos I have posted with this review. If you read the previous reviews about this store, you can see people complaining about the customer service. I have to admit that that when we walked into the store, there was a lady working her books at the counter. So I waited for her to finish her work on her scheduling/accounting book first, because I did not want to bother her... but it felt awkward for a little bit to stand there and feel like I was a bother. But I still give Ming Wo 4 stars, because she placed the remaining last mooncake mould for me when I asked her about it on the phone a few hours earlier, because I was coming from an event out in Tsawwassen. The second staff member who rung in our mooncake mould was very friendly and chatty.

    Ming Wo offers, what I've found, to be the best-priced stainless steel water bottles in Vancouver. They also offer a whole range of picture-perfect cookware that (warning issued) will prompt uncontrollable urges to spend money. The store has a fantastic range of french presses (versus most stores which only have two or three models) and the cooking utensils are great gifts for any difficult-to-shop-for people in your life. On my last visit, I also discovered the little backroom of picture frames, soaps, and lamps for the first time. A nice little bonus and just another reason to spend time in this great cookware store.

    Ming Wo is a cookware and home accessories store located on South Granville Street. Be warned: if you're a bit of a chef this place is dangerous and you may leave financially lighter than when you came in. From bamboo cheese platters, to dishwashing liquid, to pots, pans, mugs, cups and every utensil under the sun, Ming Wo has you covered. And if you meander toward the back of the shop and head down the stairs you'll find lamps, towels, frames, and bathroom accessories. This is a great place to come for gifts or if you're setting up house and needs the mandatory "bits and pieces".

    Always great to go to Ming Wo if you're a cook. I miss the Chinatown store so much; that was a…read moreregular haunt of mine whenever I needed something. Great selection, great prices, friendly staff. A wonderful place, and a Vancouver tradition.

    This is precisely the kind of store that I really should avoid…read more It is dangerous. It is intoxicating. If you are into kitchenware, cooking and baking, entertaining, or serviceware, or if you are in need of a hostess or housewarming gift, be forewarned. You will find what you need (or want) here, and you will probably pay top dollar for it. And you will do so gladly. They have mainstream kitchen gadgets along with very precise and specific baking and cooking tools, along with fabulous Asian ceramic bowls and dishes and chopsticks and more. Ramekins in every color? Check. Contemporary placemats? Check. Pots and cutlery and kitchen scales and kitchen gadgets that I don't even know what they do but they look cool so I feel is definitely should get them? Check, check and CHECK! They carry a lot of OXO merchandise (I always liked the ergonomic nature of this brand's products, and they last a long time), and yes, some of these items are available at HomeSense at half the price. But they also have here obscure kitchen tools you can't find elsewhere. If you are seriously into cooking or baking, I'm sure you'd find what you need here. Some items are overpriced. I purchased two Swedish dishcloths here for $5.95 each. (They come in a ton of patterns and colors here, which is fun!). But I know these are inexpensive, and on my last trip to Bellingham, I got a set of three of them for $8. So they are quite pricey at this store. And I've seen some of their more common items for sale elsewhere at half the price they were selling for here. However, there were quite a few deals to be found at this store, too. They have lots of high quality tapered candles in different colors, only 99 cents each here. And they've lots of white ceramic dishware and serving pieces at extremely reasonable prices. If you search this store, you will find bargains. I have to add that the young ladies who work here are all super friendly and helpful, too.

    Purchased Baccarat champagne flutes (2 boxes of 6 each) from Atkinson's. Did so as it was…read moremarginally less expensive than Bloomingdale's. Big mistake. Received boxes only to find that some of the glasses were (not subtly) broken - see pic. This happens - see prior review 1/15/25. Communicated by email to return items and was provided a return label. I will admit that we reported the broken glass after the 48hr period (although within 7 days), but that was only because we were out of town and did not open the boxes for some days after they arrived (accepted by doorperson in building in NYC). Because we technically did report after 48hrs, I agreed to pay the shipping fees (approx $100). They signed for and confirmed receipt of the boxes. This was in mid May 2025. We heard nothing from them and did not get a CC refund. We reached out eventually again end of June 2025. It took several phone calls to ultimately reach the person making the decisions. At this point that person refused to provide a full refund even though they were in possession of the entire order. He accused me of using the glasses (and breaking one apparently) even though there was no evidence to support this. To be clear, we purchased $3000 worth of glasses. I am a cardiologist and my wife is an attorney. We were being accused of behavior that we would NEVER engage in, as it is unethical and couldn't possibly be worth it to us. It was insulting and was added to the injury of not being refunded (despite accepting the fully returned merchandise). I am obviously involving my CC company to be refunded at this point. To be clear, I am not writing this review to strengthen a case for a refund (I feel more than comfortable that I will be made whole by the CC company, as they accepted the entire return and have provided no refund ($3000)). Rather I wanted to communicate to any potential future customer of Atkinson's to BEWARE. Their inventory is nice and the prices competitive, but if there are any issues, you will be at risk. For the level of product, it just doesn't make sense not to purchase elsewhere.

    Excellent selection on a wide variety of quality items, and excellent service. We rely on delivery…read moreto receive our purchases, and the one time there was a problem (an item was broken in transit), Atkinson's stepped in and replaced the item rather than requiring me to deal with the delivery company. I certainly will be dealing with Atkinson's again, and look forward to visiting the store the next time I am in Vancouver
