Was in the area and saw this small Galleria, so we went to check selection. Husband really wanted something with caffeine but not coffee. We were able to find him a nice drink in the cold drink section and I found some cute Kuromi Cookie and Cream chocolates. Staff were super friendly and helped us immediately after the self checkout app crashed on us read more

They now have self-checkout stations. During pandemic times, masks must be worn in-store. The eating area has been closed off. They have a section where you can put your used shopping carts, presumably so they can clean them. ---------- The review below was written late 2018. In the evenings, they have discounted prepared food at 20% off. If the total is less than $4.00, the HST tax is only 5% instead of 13%. This is a mini version of the full size Galleria. They have all the departments of the big one including in-house food preparation, an area to eat, fresh groceries. They have the same Galleria points award system. This location, being downtown is a lot more convenient for me. read more

I LOVE Galleria Supermarket! When I was living in Toronto I went to the one at Yonge and Steeles all the time, and sometimes the one on York Mills at Don Mills. Now there's one in downtown Toronto! Yay! It's an Express though, so much smaller than the other ones. Nonetheless it has a lot of the same things, including packaged prepared foods (kimbap, dumplings, pancakes, etc.) and there's a tiny eating area where you can gobble down food from their tiny "food court" (Korean fried chicken, rice cakes, and even bingsoo (shaved ice) and other items). So now if you live downtown you don't have to trek out to the periphery for your Galleria Supermarket experience ;) read more

OK let me start simple: I don't have a car and l live midtown, and yet I come here weekly for grocery. That's right! This place is that good!!! They don't have a huge veggie/fruit section, but they are always fresh. If you come in summer, their spinach are so fresh and sweet that you cannot buy anywhere else in Toronto. Their mandarin and persimmon are great. In winter they have unshelled chestnut by machine. Their meat, are top quality. The best part, it is all well cut and prepared that you don't have to do extra work to trim the fat. Their price is slightly higher but totally worth it. I love tiger the frozen dumplings from them. They have two bakeries. One is the cake/bread. The other is the red bean fish waffles and nut candies. They also have a food court section. Their rice rolls there are superb! I will return, next week. read more

I've been wanting for this place to open for months! I'm glad it finally did as I was in the area and I saw a massive balloon man infront of it with a sign saying "NOW OPEN!" Since this is downtown, this grocery store is an express store as it was small but they did fit a lot! The sections were all divided in different section which includes prepared foods, fruits, meats, candies, etc. The aisles were narrow and I measure that each aisle was abit longer than an arm's length wide. They just opened and so they have a promotion going on with certain items for sale. I will definitely come here to try the prepared foods during my work break. Service here is good and fast, as expected! Outside, they had people spinning a wheel to win either a Korean snack, noodles or seaweed and it was free!!! read more

I'm Korean. I'm over 50. Living in Canada for over 50 years but mother cooked/prepared Korean food. WHY IS ALL THEIR PREPARED FOOD SWEET?!? Korean food is NOT sweet except for a few exceptions!! STOP making your food sweet. STOP ADDING SUGAR!! Galleria kimchee SUCKS!! Not enough salt and too much sugar!! AND it's all leftovers. The main parts of the Napa cabbage is not in the kimchee!!! It's a RIPOFF. I suspect that they sell the main parts to restaurants and leave the leftovers and garbage for the average consumer. Going to learn to make my own. There are lots of YouTube videos!! Smarten up Galleria. read more

This is a slightly better outpost of Galleria. Having been disappointed by the Bloor location I was looking forward to this spot. Hmmm It has its good part namely the grab and go food items as otherwise I found it to be really cramped to the extent one can can hardly walk around the aisles. I was looking for a specific item and couldn't find any help so had to go and check every aisle to locate the item. I think with their competition up nearby I will probably visit them instead. 2.5 stars. read more

What I got: Premade meals, hot pepper past, instant noodles, fish cake, snacks Pros: - when I finish working a late night shift in the ER and want to grab something for dinner that is not too expensive, they have these pre-made boxes for 20-50% off after 9pm. This is such a good deal for only $3. The selection is also better than anything offered at the hospital at this hour- sushi, soups, fried chicken cutlet, beef and assorted Korean appetizers - Best selection for Asian snacks, I don't buy chips from metro or sobey's because there are more varieties here. They even have some candies I saw in Japan that were reasonably priced here. - You can find all the ingredients you need to make Korean meals. I recently made teokbokki and found all the sauces, fish and rice cake here. Cons: - Given the limited space downtown, this is a smaller supermarket- more like a convenience store. I wouldn't usually buy produce or meat here when it's cheaper to do so at a larger store. - They do not take Amex, only Visa, Debit and cash read more

Galleria Supermarket - 50% off boxed meal - paid only $3 - International Grocery Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

It is absolutely outrageous, nowadays, that a market would wrap produce in so much plastic! I have never been to a non-asian market that had bananas, coconuts, pineapple, oranges, cucumbers and so many other things wrapped in plastic! They should be severely fined. If the idea is to keep their customers from touching and over-handling everything (oh, you know who you are!), well then, maybe some education is necessary. I know many people who feel the same way in this part of Chinatown (yes, Yonge & Wellesley is now part of Chinatown-look around), and a LOT of people feel the exact same way. STOP USING PLASTIC! Do it for your privileged kids and future generations. read more

Is this dumpling just a dumpling, or something more? Flavour-wise, the SingSing pork dumplings are fresh, still steaming in their package, but the taste falls flat. And yet, the wall graphics boldly announce that Galleria is "Leading globalization of Korean Food & Culture". Is this grocery chain part of a trojan horse strategy? As 7/11 retreats, I welcome the bold downtown expansions of Galleria and H-Mart. These mini-grocery stores think they have figured out the formula for modern convenience. The variety of foods is plentiful here, and the shopping experience is frictionless, but the level of quality still leaves something to be desired. For those who have experienced a 7/11 in its Japanese form, you know that the bar is set high. Part of the reasons why "conbinis" excel is because of their sheer volume of sales. With less time and space for cooking, urban workers increasingly find their meals - and can eat quite well - at convenience stores. Is this where we're heading? It certainly seems Galleria and H-Mart think so, given their recent expansionary efforts. read more

This place is a blessing. Grab a box of seasoned vegetables, a container of pre-steamed rice, and voila - you've just "cooked" your own bibimbap for $5. Their other ready to go foods include sushi, gimbap, banchan, bento boxes, dumplings/buns, sandwiches, fruit cups, and other packaged Korean dishes. They also have the normal convenience store stuff, snacks, and (very limited) produce. read more

I've always been a fan of Galleria, but this location is phenomenal! The staff here are really friendly, and not in the hitting on you type of way. They are generally cheerful and greet you when you walk in when it's not too busy. They are also always ready to help anyway they can. The store is always well organized and items are neatly shelved. Best of all, the line ups to cash out are extremely fast. I'm in and out like a fast food restaurant. I've become a regular so I know they recognize me. They have that "how did we do survey machine at the front of the store, and I've always hit the dark green happy face. In comparison to the H Marts in the area, Galleria has better prices and service so I'd come here over H Mart any day. If you need anything and are in the area I'd tell you to pay them a visit and see for yourself. Until next time, JimStar Out!! read more

Mom's Chicken Review! Pros: can order ahead, great flavor, nicely fried Cons: a little dry First of all, the online ordering is super convenient! I thought the system would be super tricky and you would have to pay first but it was surprisingly easy and you pay in store. They even send you a confirmation email. Now the chicken. Let's be real, it won't be comparable to chains like MyMy chicken in North York but the price is definitely cheaper. I ordered a 1/2 original chicken. They are having a 2 dollar off promotion (plus free can of coke) so it ended up to be around $11. What surprised me about this chicken is that it had a spicy kick. It was definitely seasoned well. The crunch factor is a good 9/10 and other than the fact that it was a little dry, mom's chicken is definitely worth the buy. (The aunties working there are also super nice so that's always a plus!) read more

A handy place for picking up Korean essentials in downtown. They've got hot dishes (a good fish waffle) as well as beverages, dry goods, and baked goods. read more

Galleria just opened a new store near Yonge/Wellesley. I went yesterday (the opening) and everyone was excited, including me. They have a great take out selection, including the lunch box specials. They have everything from bingsu (shaved ice) to tteokboggi (spicy rice cakes) for a good price. Their shop also includes snacks, produce, plus frozen and refrigerated items. Great addition to the area and I will get lots of lunches here! By the way, it's near the Wellesley subway station, so if you need a bite/meal on the go, this is the place! read more

On Dec 9, 2021, purchased $180 worth of groceries, which is around my average spend there. At the end, when the lady ask for payment i payed with my CC. Afterwards she was still bagging my groceries with me and I asked if I could have a bag (to separate out things I bought for my parents). She wanted $0.05, and I told her didn't have change. She refused and wanted me to pay the nickel and claimed it was POLICY. (Really, a nickel?). Fed up, I told her this was poor customer service, yet she didn't care. Won't go the Galleria again. read more

Maybe I've just been spoiled with the uptown Galleria's or maybe I'm just a grump but this little Galleria is a far cry from the standard Galleria's in North York. We came here a few times for a "budget lunch" and they were truly "budget lunches" with super small portions. We ended up buying multiple items there because the portions were quite small. Some of the dishes we had had undercooked rice as well. They do have a good variety of snacks but again, the uptown Galleria provides way more variety. Since I am spoiled and live uptown...I will be going to those ones only. read more

Yessssss. Oh wait. Yasssssss. Better. Super nice staff. I got a free mug! Onigiri is WAY better here than at H Mart. Nice layout of store. Solid options. Prices fair. Welcome to the neighbourhood! read more

This place is clean and always have fresh food. Open very late. They have all the snacks and everything. Great for when you have the munchies read more

Pretty good spot! For some reason the Korean/Asian Presence is really taking over downtown. It's probably the instant noodles and tasty food options. I grew up on this stuff. Love it. Having it next door and affordable, even better. It closes late and has great staff. It's always clean and polite as well. It's a little smaller than most markets, but that's to be expected in downtown Toronto. The selection is unfortunately, respectively smaller as well. Basically, not much selection but has all the important stuff. Welcome to downtown. I hope you're here for a long long time. read more

Soooo EXCITED for this new Korean grocery store by my place! They generally have great prices, unique offerings that can't be found at many other grocery store chains and just happen to be on my way home from work! If you are in the area, why not give it a shot? I know I will! read more

This is a super cute and friendly supermarket in the heart of downtown Toronto. I came across it when I was walking south towards another restaurant. On the way, the supermarket caught my attention so I decided to check it out. The products are very unique, although rather pricey. But given the location, it does make sense why the price would be higher. They have the "supermarket items", but also a section with microwaveable foods and fresh hot food, which you can purchase and eat at their mini food court! There is free WiFi too so you can enjoy your meal without being awkward with no WiFi. Their kimbap caught my attention, as I really like kimbap, and I also thought it was a pretty good deal. So I ended up eating kimbap there instead of at the restaurant that I was planning to go to. The staff at Galleria are incredibly friendly. Even though I do not speak Korean, the staff are very kind and patiently explained items that I was not familiar with. (This was so unlike Sichuan Garden that I reviewed in which the staff treated me in a derogatory manner for not being able to speak Mandarin). I was very happy with my first impression of Galleria, and have actually gone back several times! read more

Love this place for its location and convenience. The ready made food is a hit or miss though. Tried the rice onigiri here and the rice was hard af. I had to throw it away. The chicken teriyaki was sitting out for too long that it tasted dry. The grocery section was pretty decent tho. I love that they have asian veggies and desserts. read more

Amazing place with everything you might want. Craving dukbokki or Korean friend chicken? They have it to go! The pieces are cheaper than H mart up the street and the layout is more favourable. Will go here from now on for my Asian treats! Btw the Galleria brand kimchi is very delicious and fresh with no MSG. So happy that it is now in downtown Toronto. About time! read more

The service is excellent here. Very impressed anything that you are looking for just ask they are more than happy to help you. Language may be a barrier so go to cash and ask. I love how they have hot fresh food readily available. They have a small seating area and charging outlets all over so you can charge phones/laptop/tablets while mingling. They have a very wide assortments of cup ramens and readily available hot water thermos and microwaves where you can eat it right there on the spot. I've been here countless times and very impressed. Yes its a small store but they have a lot of stuff packed inside and oh right they close at midnight! read more

Just recently open and already good selection of products, the employees are polite and the store is well organize and clean.

cashiers are friendly, and they have plenty of things, wide selections of food. Its a simple trip there.

went here in the morning to get breakfast, was told they didn't have any cash and could only do card transactions as they didn't have any cash on hand. perhaps next time figure that out before opening hours. wasted time. read more
