Big Ray is the only Asian grocery on this side of the bridge, and it does not disappoint. From Soba Noodles to Argentinian corned beef, this is a fun spot for foodies alike. With 5 separate fridges holding fresh and frozen treasures from Kim-chi to Eels, a nicely organized space which is locally owned. Looking at it quickly you may think its a convenience store, but is a hidden gem for Dartmouth..

Since I didn't have any cash on me, I was ready to just put my things back and head home. But the owner insisted that I simply bring in cash the next day.

I've lived in Joe's neighbourhood for about 6 months now and I really don't know what I'd do…read morewithout him. I live closer to Pat's Grocery but the fact that they don't accept debit and are only open until 5 makes me take a few extra strides to Joe's Kwik-Way. Completely family owned, you'll find a member of Joe's family happy to serve you. Joe himself is quite a character, a strong silent type, but quirks like a funny grandpa. Sometimes he'll suggest to me new products he got in that I should try, and not in a "I'm sitting on 3 crates of this stuff and it's gotta go" kind of way. Granted, the store isn't too quick to refresh it's shelves, and stuff pretty much stays there until it's bought, but nothing that's totally out of control. While your in Joe's, more then likely when a customer comes in through the door, you'll hear them say "Hey Joe" (They're not quoting Hendrix) Joe is the most popular guy in my neighbourhood and he runs a good store too.

I often pick a odd thing of meat up here (and it is usually pretty darn swell) Check it out, and if you are in need of a haircut or coffee they are also just around the corner and very, very close. Great spot. I will be a returning customer for sure. Thanks for making the shopping experience more fun.

Shopped at Kingswood this morning. Staff are nice but deals are not great. I don't believe there…read moreis much in there that is less than the grocery store. The peppers were much more expensive, as well as the tomatoes and whole chickens. The peppers were shriveled up and soft. Bananas are 1.49/lb which is ridiculous. And they are not even organic. I would never go out of my way to shop here like I would Gateway. The only thing I saw cheaper was re-frozen sandwich meats that looked like crap and bags of chips. VERY disappointing to say the least.

This convenience store has been around for years, but recently renovated and re-opened under new…read moremanagement. What a change! The old place was overpriced, dank, cramped, and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in decades. The lady that ran it was crabby and not particularly nice to kids, which, when you are located immediately across from a school is not exactly a sound marketing strategy. Although they promised the best milkshake in the city, I was always a little afraid to order one. The new place is bright, clean and friendly. It has a reasonably good selection and the prices are quite reasonable. They have expanded their selection of ice cream offerings, and at a dollar for a one scoop ice cream cone, it is very kid-friendly. They have also added coffee, and although I have not tried it myself, I have noticed alot more people stopping in for their morning cup of joe on my way to work. They have held little get-togethers during community events like the fireworks, and with sitting areas inside and out, it has become a bit of a gathering spot for people in the neighbourhood. My only complaint is their selection of whole wheat baked items is virtually non-existent and they occasionally run out of the very item I am looking for: such are the limitations of this size of operation. All in all, the new owners have done a great job, and I really hope the neighbourhood supports them and they make a go of it.

It's a small family run-business and everyone who works there seems invested in making sure you have a good experience and get what you need. While the layout can be a bit odd at times (and it shifts constantly), there's a good selection of snacks and drinks.

Why spend an arm and a leg on overpriced candy when this place has it all! (Minus the Popcorn) Candy, chips, pop and juices are well stocked and ready to go. I'm fairly certain this spot knows its target audience and brings in goodies to accommodate ultimate snackage. 2. They serve sushi. I haven't tried it... but it looks good. Not sure where its prepped... and there isn't much to this spot in terms of space. But its stocked in its own fridge and looks fresh. Let me know how it goes! 3. Friendly service. I've gone here many 'a time before catching a flick, and the folks are always incredibly sweet. I've had great customer service here. Its location, well stocked supply, and friendly service give this spot an advantage. Putting a little punch in convenience, Medley is a sprinkling that hit s the spot.
