Compared to chain grocery stores, this one is pretty cheap. There's additionally a discounted vegetables section in the corner with bags of veggies for $1. Granted it's most filled either stuff that are going bad but it's at a good price. There were many people here going through the discounted items to find good products. There are a lot of products and selection. It's a bit loud as it seems to be a popular spot, particularly in the discount section.

Assi Market has two locations. I usually go to the one in Burnaby. Since I am in the area, I…read moredecided to check out the Coquitlam location. This location is double the size of the Burnaby location. Prices are the same for most items. I like how this location has a bigger produce selection. They also have here the Bulgogi Onigiri which doesn't exist in the Burnaby location. I came here to buy few bags of rice crackers. Because of shop here quite often, I also signed up for their membership. Parking is available in the plaza.

Came here to try their kimbap and tteokbokgi…read more Kimbap - well priced at $5. Can't believe restaurants charge almost $8 for the original kimbap. Would like to see Assi market do tuna kimbap, my fav. Tteokbokgi - comes with 3 pieces of fish cake and has some kimchi in it. I like that they used the short and plump versions of tteok. I wish they added half a boiled egg at least. Taste was fantastic. Much better than restaurants.

I was trying to find some beef balls to show to my friend and I couldn't find them at this store. The isles are narrow. It is well stocked so that is a plus. The cashier area is chaotic.

We come here on a weekly basis. Would say it is a niche grocery store. Slotted somewhere between…read moreT&T Super chain Chinese Grocery and Kin's Market. The Good; For me it is convenient; distance wise. 10/10 Price; found most produce items very competitive priced; typically lower than others such as T&T, Save-on, even Superstore. 9/10 Meats ok competitive but lacking in offering. 7/10 Dry goods seem to target a very Asian/Hong Kong audience. It is either great or terrible. 7/10 The Bad; Have been frequenting this "Supermarket" for over 10 years now; I can see a change in quality and business strategy. Overall it is a store in transition. Great strides have been made and could be made. Would say the major flaw is that it has not transitioned to the 21st century in terms healthy alternatives such as organic or calories/nutrition oriented food products. 5/10 The Ugly; Probably one thing I gripe about most is the ambiance. Does not come across as super clean and healthy oriented place. Yes not a easy fix. But a vital fix. Ambiance 5/10 Overall score: Price 10/10 Convenience vary from person to person therefore omitted Produce 9/10 Meats 7/10 Dry goods 7/10 Healthy variety 5/10 Ambiance 5/10 43/60= 65% Overall this is a very budget sensitive "supermarket" -Hong Kongers oriented. You can find some great deals but do not expect any of the latest greatest in healthy offerings.

Especially like their Kimchi ( the one made locally and still fresh ) over the imported ones, can't beat the homemade flavour! Other items that I like to get from here are produce, they carry a large variety of Chilli Peppers and Korean vegetables that you will need for home cooked Korean meals. Parking is abundant and free, and if you have time, check out the Costco just across the street!

I really like this location.

When I getvthere she tried to charge me and I showed her my reciept so that it showed I paid but the funny thing is that when she grabbed my item from tje side there were other items there too that she probably charged and forgot to bag it for otjer customers.

They're in a small plaza that also houses a couple other food warehouse spots. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 1:30pm) and there were several customers inside. There were 6 types of beef jerky (apparently, there's usually more options). The one worker was friendly and explained each of his flavours. He let us try a few samples before using a machine to cut up the jerky into bite sized portions. If you don't visit Port Moody often, you can get AT's biltong at African Breese Specialty Foods (in Kitsilano). Biltong is different from the usual beef jerky; no added salt, low in fat and gluten free. - Hunters biltong beef ($10.00) - thinly sliced and fresh with a softer texture/bite. - Chili bites ($10.00) - if you like a kick, get these. The chili bites were bomb. Chewier but I could have ate the whole bag myself. Quality, fresh jerky! You'll be hooked once you've tried it. If only we made it to Port Moody more often...

Excellent biltong (dried meat), droeworse (dried sausage), chili bites (spicy dried meat pieces), and boerewors (delicious "farmer sausge").

Their hot food section is not so good. $16.99 for 3 items on rice/noodle. This is priced higher than richmond public market, 88 supermarket, and chong lee supermarket. The portions are smaller than all of them. The food however was hit or miss. They had a sample of the sweet and sour pork. It was very tough. The general tso chicken was also so dry and tough. The noodles are soggy. The mapo tofu was ok. The best was the spicy pork belly slices. Worst of all, there was a piece of plastic in the pork belly dish. That aside, I had the 25% coupon today so it came up to be $12.7, but I don't think it is worth $16.99.
