Not everything has English labels so it's tougher to do exploratory shopping if you aren't familiar with the products. Store clerks were nice, but highly preferential towards the regulars who spoke Russian. Warning: carefully inspect packaging for Expiry/Packaged On dates. I found out that, after the fact, quite a bit of the stuff I bought wasn't very fresh. Threw away two out of four cheeses because they were pretty far gone. They were so bad that I did not feel it was worth holding onto it to bring back to the store for a refund, just wanted to be rid of it. I take responsibility that I should've checked better, but it's poor business practice for the store to be carrying inventory that isn't safe for patrons. Hope to see this improved on.

If you love all snack Japanese, this is the place to check out. It's located at the corner facing…read morethe pier, nearer to the public washroom area by the cannery museum. 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.

My husband and I stopped by this location last night, around 8:30 pm. We were able to get some parking on the street (free 1 hour parking) and went inside. This location is pretty small. But we ended up purchasing raw galbi beef ribs (not marinaded), novelty candy and cut sushi rolls. We were lucky to see that selected items are discounted by 20% after 8 pm (the sushi rolls were part of that discount, in addition to a few sashimi salads, rice bowls and some nigiri). It was pretty quiet when we were shopping, as there were only a handful of customers in the store. Paying at the register was quick and easy. Being that this location is closer to our vacation rental (than the one in downtown on Robson Street, but that location seems to be bigger), we will most likely come back again to stock up on some staples.

One of the rudest service ever!!! The stall was not crowded,…read moreno one in the stall at all. We decided to take a look at the products they offer. When you walked into the store, there's not even an acknowledgment of you coming in, not even a greeting if any sort. So we were looking around... then a man come out ( might be the owner?). He was extremely rude!!! Asked us rudely "What do you want?" I was quite taken aback at the tone of his voice & the rudeness that came with the question. I told him that we were looking around... then he said "Don't touch anything" Seriously??? We weren't even touching anything, just looking around. The dried prunes are seriously over priced! Not to mention the atmosphere was not cordial or conducive for buying anything. We walked out of that place. Go to Crystal Mall market & get your dried fruits & prunes, service is friendly.

They now had signs on the wall stating that they would help customers to get the snacks in the box and no touching because the snack boxes were made with glass. If they help customers, they might give customers a little more or less than the amount that the customer request because it was difficult to notice until they weight it. Also, the snacks boxes of the other snacks store like this were made of clear plastic because it is more economical and it is easier to handle for both employees and customers. It is better for them to pack the snacks into individual bags with price tags and put them on the shelf so customers can just get them and pay instead of having an employee to get the snacks from the box and another employee as a cashier and weigh the snacks. It is more efficient for both sides and save both of our time.

I don't want to claim racism but it was very hard not to feel this way when actively ignored while trying to receive help whilst every other person who came to the store was nicely greeted and asked if they needed anything. I eventually found what I wanted to buy but decided I didn't want to spend my money in the store. and went to another nearby where the employees were helpful.

We were told he/she was not in on today, so we asked them to phone he/she or give us a contact number. They refused both requests... Some of you may wonder why I am making such a big deal out of so little money.. but the fact is we were scammed and money isnt the issue here.
