    This is a large Chinese grocery store which just opened downtown Toronto on 2025-08-19. It is on the 2nd floor (there are escalators and elevators). There have everything expected in a Chinese grocery store plus some extremely high-end items, like produce flown directly from overseas countries and high-end Lububu. The store is bright, clean, well-organized, and well-stocked. We spent 75 mins looking around and spent $54. During the grand-opening period, when you spend $100, you get a $10 gift certificate. The meats and produce are extremely fresh. The prices are good. You can even finish Chinese bottled drinks and snacks for $1.59; we bought a few of those. Some of the labels are quite hilarious. They took a literal translation of Chinese to Engligh. One example is a jelly-like item, usually called agar in English, but the store labelled it as "lactic acid bacteria jelly", not exactly appealing! One thing I still don't understand is why with bottled items, Chinese grocery store tend to put the French-language label facing out. There is lively seafood, including live lobster which you can pick up yourself (via tongs if you wish); but they were not very lively. They sell Royce Chocolate bars, which is not easily found in Toronto. There are high-end Asian fruits (flown in) like a square (cube) watermelon ($388.88), small watermelon ($88.88), fresh lychee (500g for $23.99), premium lychee ($28.88), Japanese Sweet Tangerine ($45.99), Vietnamese Fresh Durian Meat ($18.88), Crown Melon (1 for $88.88), Yamanashi Golden Peach (box $158.88), Fuji Brilliance Red Grapes (box $88.88), and Japanese Sun Mango (1 for $58.88). There is ready-to-eat self-serve food at a reasonable price (price is based on weight). There are some seating areas on the ground floor. There is a bank of cashiers who are efficient. There are no self-serve checkout kiosks. After the cashiers, there is a small section selling beauty products. They also sell Lububu there. There are big versions for $650.00 each and a medium version for $280.00. The store is wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-180

    So ecstatic that Bestco opened in the heart of downtown Toronto! Prior to entering the store I was thinking it's mid size but was surprised that it was fairly large for a typical Asian supermarket. Since the store is still new, it's meticulously clean and the aisles were wide enough to accommodate two shopping carts side-by-side. The shelves were well stocked and beautifully organized. Prices were reasonable and at par with T&T but slightly higher than the Chinatown grocery stores but the produce and meat quality were far superior. They have a large selection of Asian produce, meat products, snacks and other foodstuff including the viral Asian fruit ice cream. There is a large shelf dedicated to ramen noodles, different types of Kitkat flavours and various ingredients needed to make hotpot meals. They have a limited selection of basic household goods, Korean skincare and Labubu products. And if you're not in the mood to cook, they offer Chinese hot food dishes ranging from dimsum, soup, fried rice and noodles. You can also buy Japanese sushi and onigiri. There is also bubble tea place by the entrance called Its Tea. Staff were nice and very helpful if you ask questions on where to find stuff. You bet this will be my go to grocery store from now on if I don't feel like going to Chinatown.

    Bestco Fresh Foods located near the intersection of Peter and Adelaide is a large Asian grocery store chain that now has a location downtown! I've been to their other location in Scarborough which has some pretty fresh veggies and produce. I was excited for the chain to finally expand downtown where T&T has some serious competition! I stopped by Bestco to browse and was impressed by the size and selection of products offered. The grocery store is located on the 2nd floor where they have escalators. It was super clean and felt so new! Along with your usual grocery items, they also have a hot food counter, sushi area, a bakery, as well as a small beauty section. The bakery section was where I was particularly interested in as they carry Iki Shokupan as well as Matcha Yuzu bakery items!! I also noticed a lot of items from other Toronto Asian small businesses which was nice to see. Overall, Bestco will definitely do well in the downtown area as there are no other Asian grocery stores around this area. They carry a lot of great items from other local businesses in Toronto. Definitely do stop by to browse or grocery shop if you live or are around the area!

    Very organized snack shop with a ton of variety! Everything…read moreis so aesthetically arranged and categorized. They had snacks which I had never seen before, not even in regular Asian grocers. Prices are reasonable

    (Shopped 09/13/2025 SA @ 12:00pm): This market was definitely on King St., but I didn't focus too…read moremuch on any fresh food offerings! It was the second to last day of the 50th Toronto International Film Festival when I finally poked into King Fresh Foodmarket for a look around and some potential snacks instead of an actual meal. I'd passed this place on several occasions while I either waited in line for a movie or rushed by to get to one. I was on the hunt for anything random and portable to snack on. Would I feel funky fresh and feast like a king after I shopped in this food market!? PURCHASE(S) Lay's Potato Chips Italian Red Meat Flavor 70g Bag ($2.99CAD): I think this was supposed to taste like meat sauce because that's what I got from it - not bad. Lay's Potato Chips Mexican Chicken Tomato Flavor 70g Bag ($2.99CAD): This simply tasted like tomato to me, and I couldn't think of a Mexican chicken tomato dish that this was to resemble. Lay's Potato Chips Spicy Crayfish Flavor 70g Bag ($2.99CAD): This reminded me of spicy shrimp chips, which I didn't mind. Muskoka Brewery Mad Tom IPA Beer 16floz Can ($4.49CAD): Dark amber color, citrusy hoppy aroma, low body, citrusy hoppy malty flavor, drying smooth finish, and citrusy hoppy aftertaste. The artwork caught my attention while I truly enjoyed this beer. Banana ($0.75CAD): I needed something healthy to eat to counteract all of the salty snacks. Reusable Bag ($0.49CAD): I needed a bag to carry my snacks, but I ended up losing it... SERVICE Aside from the lone male at the checkout counter, I didn't see anyone else, and he didn't really leave his station. No worries, I was simply casing the joint from aisle to aisle as I collected bags of chips, beer, and fruit. It was all easy-peasy - thank you! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I was constantly in the area all day throughout the Toronto International Film Festival, so I simply walked. Otherwise, there were spots along the many main and surrounding streets, some nearby structures, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A quasi convenience store and mini-mart (not enough elements to be considered a grocery), with an impressive selection of candies, refrigerated drinks, and snack foods, that filled the shelves aisle after aisle. Outside of the customary promotional shelftalkers and standees, the rest of the place was rather rudimentary and no-nonsense with a touch of an underground bunker feel (I believed it actually was in a basement). A minimal amount of natural lighting came in through the front doors and raised windows, while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while pop music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL King Fresh Foodmarket purely surprised me with what I found inside and eventually walked away with, so I would definitely check them out again. If you knew me, you knew I loved beer, salty snacks, and sweets, and if I saw anything within these types of food that was out of the ordinary or just odd, I had to try it! The prices seemed very comparable, they had a wondrous selection of items (although I didn't recall anything freshly-made), and the service was efficient and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $16.50CAD BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
