I passed by their cooked food. The staff just took some freshly made sushi, rolls, onigiris, and other cooked food to the fridge from the kitchen. I took different items (see my photos). All of them were delicious and the pricing was affordable. There is a parking lot right outside the supermarket. Staff is friendly all the time. I highly recommend here if you look for Japanese ingredients and cooked food.

However, there were still many options, at least 15+ aburi sushi and assorted sushi boxes, as well as 5 or so sashimi boxes. Prices for prepared foods are just a tiny bit above average, but the items we chose were fresh and very tasty, making them well worth the price. We picked up : * aburi salmon 6pc ($15) --- Solid for the price. A good, average aburi that's comparable to what you'd get at a restaurant. * hamachi sashimi 4pc med-fatty ($16) --- Comparable in both price and freshness to a sit-down spot. Great cuts. * warabi mochi ($6.50) --- not sure how they transport these or if they were ever frozen, but it honestly didn't matter. The texture was soft and chewy, nearly on par with the fresh warabi mochi I've had in Japan. If you're a warabi mochi fan, I'd definitely recommend picking one up. * hamachi collar $9.50 --- Pleasantly surprised to find such a decent meaty portion for under $10. The marbling looked incredible when we first saw it. Felt like a mythic find, although I'm not one who goes out of my way to find fish collars. We baked and broiled it for a delicious dinner :) For some quality fish in those boxes, I'd pay the slight premium for Aburi market's sushi/sashimi options over the average grocery store any day.

My visit here was so so. I just wanted to check this place out to do the Chinatown passport thing but the cashier at the till said I'd need to buy a bowl of noodles to participate but that day I was already quite full and didn't want to eat so much I'd feel sick plus I have so many food intolerance, they said they could make some dishes gluten free but I'm kind of intolerant to rice as well, but some days I'll cheat and eat rice if I really want so instead she said I could buy another 10 dollars worth of stuff instead. Anyways I found this place rather expensive. I bought one bag of chips and a canned drink and it already came up to over 10 dollars, I'm not sure why. Are they special chips and drinks? I guess the chips are organic but still. I guess I'll try them out to see how special they are. I just ended up buying another bag of chips and drinks to add up to about 20 bucks to participate lol. I don't know how their Ramen dishes are so I can't rate that but it's quite overpriced for groceries so if you want to burn a hole in your wallet this is the place to do it.

Solid spot for vegetarian and vegan modernized-Asian noodle soups…read more I did an order over the phone on a Friday late afternoon for their vegetarian ramen ($12.95 plus tax) and kale goma-ae ($5 plus tax). My order was ready 15 minutes later. Their vegetarian ramen by default comes with ramen noodles that contain egg, so to make it vegan, you can sub rice noodles or udon; I did the latter. The goma-ae was solid, though the kale was on the tough side. The hazelnut sesame sauce was really good though. I think they can do a better job with the consistency of the kale, but it's a relatively minor gripe. 3.5/5 The ramen broth was heavy, with a very squash-dominant character; very rich and overly salty, but quite satisfying. Other than noodles, you can a bit of greens (pea shoots?) and some radish. This could be toned down on the saltiness and have a more interesting array of toppings, but it was solid overall. 3.5/5 Overall, solid casual spot for non-traditional Asian noodle soups.

They have interesting drinks and I often find fresh foods for lower than I might find them in a big box chain stores. They sell Blackball dessert drinks here but they've gone up slightly in price from what they used to be, so I decided to just grab a bottled drink that was on sale. I picked up something called Coconut Shake. Also came home with a lemon for 79 cents. Places like Superstore may have larger selection but their prices can be ridiculously high. I like these smaller markets that carry fresh foods for signficantly less than big box retailers. Service was good too. I accidentally left my keychain (with keys attached) at the cashier register. I was so happy and relieved when the lady from the cash register ran out and told me that I'd left my keys. So glad that my keys were noticed very quickly and that the lady was able to catch me before I ended up straying too far.

The inside is definitely bare bones and on the smaller side. However, it was full of customers. They're doing something right. They have Korean snacks and produce. Special mention to their dedicated kimchi and ready to eat food section, which have items like tteokbokki (starch roles in sauce) and kimbap. Oh so tasty. Another thing worth mentioning - they have sashimi grade fish, and as of the time of writing, it is much cheaper than T&T. My only real complaint is that the checkout area is set up rather poorly. I just saw a pile of people by the counters and assumed I was in the lineup. Turns out the lineup actually goes down the aisle that is closest to the wall. Pro tip. This place is definitely on my radar now. Will be back more often to empty my wallet. Recommended.

The hygiene is probably somewhat questionable (based on previous reviews), but looked reasonably clean. I ordered some BBQ pork and roast BBQ. Decent quality, though the roast pork skin could be a bit thicker (I picked up my food near their closing time). Pricing was reasonable. Not a bad place to shop if one is in the area and wants some ethnic goodness.

As the…read moresister restaurant to Maenam, you can really taste that same attention to balance, depth, and quality in every dish. My partner and I are regulars here. Some of our go-to favourites: green curry, pad see ew, gai lan with pork belly, and the Thai fried rice with grilled pork. The flavours are super consistent every single visit, which honestly is half the battle with takeout spots. Their rotating specials are also worth watching for m, and are always fun when there's something new in the mix. (my pictures don't do justice) It's definitely a bit pricier than your average quick Thai spot... however, the ingredients taste fresh and the portions are satisfying. Love the little thoughtful touches too: self-serve water station, compostable containers and cutlery, and an easy casual setup that works perfectly for a Quay lunch or dinner. I'm giving it a 4-star because the place closes at 6pm Mon-Thu and at 7pm on all other days. I always feel like I need to rush or have early dinner if I wanted to grab food from here. All in all, this is a solid Thai food option in New West. Basically, if Thai street food and elevated comfort food had a waterfront glow-up, this would be it!
