We stopped in and we were surprised to see the large selection of imported food selections . They even had fresh veggie section as well as a deli section with meats, cheese and even dried fish. There is a large freezer section in the back that had frozen cakes, desserts, etc! Some of the produce is fresher and cheaper than superstore or Safeway! We enjoyed shopping here and definitely will come again when in the area!

Today I visited for the first time since Covid and although they don't have the Buffett, which was convenient and quick, it was still exceptional.

What we have got is a sugary substance with remote flavour of buckwheat. Likely a blend of some cheap honey with some buckwheat honey added. Called the store, the manager said it is not her problem, and suggested to call the manufacturer. She was rude. Never again will we walk into this store. There are better alternatives in YYC to shop for authentic east European foods. Avoid.

So, I have high expectations when trying this style of cuisine. And yet, Kalinka won me over. The perogies were really delicious. I'm guessing that fresh (not delivered far across the city) they would be even MOAR amazing. I look forward to sampling them on site. The sausage had an unexpected kick and was full of yum. The prepared salads are flavoursome. I really enjoyed the sautéed vegetables and the leftovers tasted great in a soup I made the next day. I prefer pork cabbage rolls but these vegetarian ones were excellent with a nice spice to them. The accompanying tomato sauce to spread over them was very tasty.

Great food. All meals are delicious. Would recommend perogies, cabbage rolls, deruny.read more

Upon asking politely to receive service ( was ignored for minutes by 4 workers, not one made an eye contact with me) I was scolded so badly my knees were shaking.

I guess they're mostly 'fakirs', hyuk! I am not Polish so I cannot spell or pronounce things, but I think the owner/maker is called Miertek. Anyway you slice it, this is the guy to come to if you want locally produce cured/smoked meats and sausages. His fatty hungarian is the winter bomb, and the roasted bacon (that's right, ROASTED BACON) is a gift from the gods of meat preparation. I suggest that you peruse and randomly choose what looks appealing your first time. There is sooo much, you WILL be back. This guy is the sausage man for Calgary. Regarding his cuts of meat, I have only done his pork tenderloin -- it was exactly what I wanted. They also offer lots of other Polish things. Their fresh sauerkraut and pickles are better than almost anywhere else (Jan's gives him a run though), his smoked mackerel is as good as Jan's, and his scratch perogie selection is a cut above -- avoid the sauerkraut ones, they don't freeze as well as the others (sauerkraut perogies are best fresh). Lots of canned goods, spices, sweets, preserves et cetera. Just remember -- this is THE sausage guy. Closed Mondays, go to Bon-Ton then. Only then. Or wait for Miertek to open tuesday...

We were delighted when we found out about A-mart since it was closer to where we live. It's cleaner…read moreand more organized than E-Mart and Arirang, but the prices on most of their items are way higher than their 2 competitors. They have a good selection of veggies that you normally use for korean dishes and their pre-made side dish corner is great as well. I have tried their Kimchi and raw squid with spicy sauce, and they were good. They also have some snacks, frozen goods, and candies that both E-Mart and Arirang do not carry, which is nice. The service is okay, most of the employees stocking the shelves don't ask if you need anything, even when you seem like you're lost or looking for something you couldn't find. Their cashiers are pretty quick even though I have only seen one till open, mind you, it's never busy when we visit. There has only been 5-7 people at most whenever we came for groceries. Overall, A-mart is a good korean grocery store closer to people living in the SE, but just keep an eye on the prices and wait for sales for your favorite items.

I LOVE that the product labels have clear English translations and prices. Never will I ever again buy gochujang thinking I picked up a mild spicy level, but in actuality it's lap-dance-on-your-tongue. The Korean staples are all there: kimchi, hot pepper pastes and flakes, soybean pastes, soy sauces, oodles of noodle etc. There's also standard Asian produce along with Korean must-haves such as peeled garlic cloves, Perilla leaves, and chili peppers. Marinated meats are also available to bbq at home. Be sure to pick up some freshly, homemade side dishes such as seasoned baby crab and kimbap. The aisles are stocked with enough Korean snacks, and dried goods to satisfy your taste buds during a zombie apocalypse. Also super handy to have during the apocalypse are 16 litre kimchi Tupperwares big enough for a lifetime supply of kimchi (for a non-Korean), or one week's supply for Koreans. If you're environmentally friendly, A-Mart also supplies earthen kimchi pots in their humble kitchenware corner. Don't be afraid to walk on the Korean side at A-Mart. Hearing Gangnam Style as you wander the store will make you feel right at home. They get brownie points for ALMOST getting me to dance...almost. :)

(I happen to making nuts and bolts that require bugles) Since the American company that make Bugles stopped making them in Canada it's nearly impossible to find. Until today! I was in the import store stocking up on Christmas treats I happen to see Bugles made by Lays!! Very expensive for a little bad, but I don't care I need them for my Nuts & Bolts!! I bought two bags.

While their to-go hot food section doesn't have very many vegetarian options, what they do have is delicious. Everytime I ate there I would get the cabbage/mushroom perogies with a side order of seasoned potatoes. Yum! These are by far my favourite perogies. There were weeks I would eat them everyday and still not get sick of them. They also sell them frozen for you to take home and cook for yourself. Be warned: the potatoes sell out quickly after lunch so make sure you get there early if you want some. The market itself is a lot of fun to browse. They have all kinds of specialty candies, chocolates, and sodas from Eastern Europe as well as more practical goods like canned foods and toiletries. The only drawback is that they don't take credit cards so make sure you have cash or debit on you before you go. Cracovia is a hidden gem. Definitely make an effort to stop by and support this local family-business.
