as an anchor tenant at yaohan centre, osaka supermarket really sets the tone for the whole space,…read moreand i love both it and t&t supermarket for how consistently good their selection is. they both have an incredible range that turns a regular grocery run into something closer to a treasure hunt. there's always something seasonal or interesting to find, like the limited ruby red kiwi that's unbelievably sweet and juicy, or mango portuguese tarts from the bakery that balance buttery pastry, custard, and fresh fruit in a way that feels like a small indulgence. the prepared foods and deli sections are a major highlight, with a wide variety of ready to eat meals, including whole fried chicken and other hot items that make it easy to grab something substantial on the go. the bakery sections are equally strong, with fresh daily items that are hard to walk past without stopping. both stores also have k-beauty sections, adding another layer beyond food, skincare and lifestyle products sitting alongside groceries in a way that makes the experience feel closer to a mixed asian market than a standard supermarket. the seafood counters are another standout, especially when live spot prawns are in season, adding that extra sense of freshness and movement to the shopping experience. on top of everything, both also have member rewards program, which just adds to that routine of coming back regularly, especially when there's always something new, seasonal, or unexpectedly good waiting to be discovered.

It was absolutely packed to the brim, but that was to be expected since it was the weekend. Everyone was generally very polite and considerate of everyone around though, which was nice and honestly not very common in American markets. I really appreciated their seafood display. They also had a great variety. Langostino was a really unique item to have at the fish counter! I was absolutely blown away by the pre-made food section. The presentation on their pre-made food made me feel like I was transported to a night market! There were almost too many things to look at.

They have a shelves full of snacks from the 7-11 in Japan. While there are some items you can find at the typical supermarkets here, there are plenty more which you don't see. It makes browsing interesting. There is a tiny section selling Japanese skincare products too. This is mainly a snacks place. You can get fruits imported from Japan but at a high price tag. There are caviar too. Bread is sold here on weekend or towards the end of the week. I think it is to cater to people living in Steveston. There are usually items on sale here, making it a good way to try Japanese food without breaking the bank.

I want to talk about my love for this place and what it has to offer... but first: This is the ONLY…read morestore in all of Western Canada to be registered to sell real, Kobe beef. It's only this store, and another one all the way in Markham, Ontario. If you are a true foodie looking for legitimate Wagyu from A3-A5 as well as true Kobe beef certified by Kobe-Niku: This is your ONLY choice. They have the papers and bronze statue to prove it. Any others claiming they sell Wagyu or even Kobe beef are either selling an American or Australian variety.. or they're lying just for marketing purposes. Darumaya is THE BEST shop for not only Wagyu beef, but I've had the fortune to stumble upon them selling Crown Melons every now and then whenever they're in season. If you want incredible Japanese products that you cannot normally find elsewhere; this is the place. Customer service is incredible, and friendly Had the pleasure of buying a few of their Wagyu steaks, and saying it's one of the best cuts of meat I've ever bought is an understatement. True and literal melt-in-your-mouth steak. Will return 1000%

This is a foodie's paradise, but the only reason for the 4 stars is price of sashimi and meats. But…read morein terms of snacks and drinks, the prices are very reasonable for the variety that comes in and can't find anywhere else in town. My favourites being Yuzu Meltykiss, sugared Yuzu peels and specialty Calbee. The Kitkat selection is small from my experience (1-3 varieties) and T&T still remains the leader for me in that category. You'd be wrong to think that nearby Izumiya is identical, as Darumaya sells things more suited to an individual instead of family sized. Products are also more unique and different, with the store's small footprint making it like a maze with lots to discover. It's a great place to go if you're looking for unique snacks to mail to friends elsewhere or to share locally. Chips go for around $2.99-$3.99 a bag though. I also appreciate the thoughtfulness of the small drinks fridge beside the checkout, paired with the non-refrigerated drinks on another shelf. My foodie friend and I remark at the price of the frozen, vacuum sealed wagyu and fresh sashimi every time we go. We're not chefs, but they are both out of our price range, most likely attributed to import charges for a small establishment. However, if you can afford quality, I'm sure it'll be there. The sashimi is very fresh and prepared in house though, but having lived here so long, there are other places to get quality sashimi for less.

For what it is, as the supermarket of Union Square, and now since the area around here has grown,…read moreit does it's job. It's got everything you really need to deem it a good supermarket, fresh produce, a butcher, fresh seafood, all your pantry items, and the occasional seasonal specials (ie. mooncakes, imported special fruit etc.) For the size of this one, it's actually quite nice to walk around in, not cramped to the illegal borderline fire-hazard isle widths, well lit, and everything is where it should be. I like this market more than your big box supermarket (here's looking at you T&T) as you still have choice and selection as to the other products a Chinese person would buy (ie. dried noodles, weird condiments, etc.) and usually when you come here it is not a battle to find parking... well unless you are fighting with the dinner crowd going to the restaurants nearby in this part of the plaza. If you are looking for some exotic produce, sometimes they get the Korean grapes, or direct from Japan mountain yam. They have your frozen hot pot meat selection, they have some pretty good fish options. It's an option I will occasionally go to when in Richmond, and worth checking out if you are in the area.

They charged us more for an item and we realized that just after we paid. So we told the cashier…read morethat the price was wrong. Her manager went to check the price for us. It turned out that they had the wrong price tag on the shelf. So the manager led us to another cashier lane to adjust the price. Instead of saying "Do you still want the item," she said, "You don't want the item?" It seemed like she did not want us to take the item so she could just process the refund for us without adjusting the price. We told her we did not want the item. However, she charged us one more time for the item instead of processing the refund. Also, she could not process the refund on the same card that we just used to make the purchase (she made us try a few times on the credit card machine). She wasted our time with her incompetence and her defunct credit card machine. So she gave us back the refund in cash. We waited for a long time for this transaction to complete due to their mistakes. They did not apologize for the wrong price tag on the shelf and for charging us more. There was no standard of service.
