I found many items in the produce/fruits/vegetables department slightly higher than other stores I frequent. There is an ok selection to choose from. Do pay attention to expiry dates on products like instant noodles. I was drawn to a red/white sale sign of $0.10 for a package? What? Ten cents! Yes, but the inventory was close or past the stamped best before date. The meat department is at the rear of the store where staff will prepare/package/weigh your selection. There are some huge frozen fish stocked in the freezers! Salted fish is also on display. I loved the cold beverages choices, many that I've never heard of but the flavours sounded fascinating. Would probably come back here from time to time but I must try the Maggi 2-Minute instant noodles first...

My family and I had just eaten at the Pacific Mall, but man, wish we had saved ourselves for this spot. As far as an Asian grocery stores go, this is one of the cleaner, and better organized ones that I have been to, maybe ever. Not only are they clean, but they have a great variety of snacks and drinks, as well as your standard fare for everyday cooking. To me, the star of this place has to be their prepared foods area. Evidently after 8pm, they mark down lots of their prepared food items. From dim sum, to noodles, fried rice and other entrees, you can score plenty of items for $4-6 which were normally 2-3x that. I felt like a kid in a candy store and began snatching and hording all the things. I had to stop and remind myself we were on vacation, and would be living out of hotels for the next few days, so I limited myself to just a handful of items. We got some noodles, fried rice and dumplings, which we would end up eating for breakfast over the next few days. While nothing was mind blowing per se, the food was solid and certainly economical. If I lived in this area, I could see myself coming here on the regular just for the prepared foods. OVERALL - almost wish I hadn't come to this place, so I'd never knew what I was missing. Thank you Canada for showing me what's possible. CELEBRITY RATING - Simu Liu

Please see my previous review for more detail. My daughter…read moreand I returned to Asia Food Mart for a culinary excursion of the Food Mart variety. This place is huge, and sells all kinds of things. Parking is a bit hectic, even at 1:45 on a Thursday afternoon. The parking spots right in front of the Food Mart are very small, and scary for a big SUV like mine. But there is very frequent turnover, and if you just drive around the lot for 30 seconds, someone will be pulling out. The parking spaces in front of the stores facing the Food Mart are larger and a bit easier to navigate. This mall is great fun to go to. They have all manner of foods (fresh noodles! Great fruits! Asian stuffed toys and cosmetics! Fresh meat and seafood! The list goes on and on ...) and an excellent prepared food counter, and a Chatime outlet. We bought some mochi, some enormous strawberries, and a variety of dim sums from the food counter. Our selections included fried dough sticks (they actually reheat well in the air-fryer), fried squid, scallion pancakes, seafood and pork dumplings, some delicious pork and shrimp mini-pancakes. The squid was the way my daughter likes it (chewy), and I enjoyed some as well. Everything else was great, although the dumplings were a bit past their peak, and should have been switched out for new ones. We also enjoyed some delicious bubble tea from Chatime, which always has new, seasonal selections to tempt you. Basically, a trip to the Asia Food Mart is really fun, as they have such a diversity of products. Next time, I'm coming here to shop "for real" (meaning actual groceries, as opposed to lunch or snacks). The butchery and fish counters serve really fresh food at a good price, and there are some great deals on produce. You can't get around the fact that this is a snack haven. You should check it out now!!! It's open 24/7.

The clientele here are through and through Latin American, they don't speak a word of English :) Loads of stuff you won't find in your grocery store like: hot empanadas, Cafe Bustelo coffee, Jaritos, Inca Kola, cactus, pozole, hominy, plantains, yucca (not that expired crap they serve in Freshco/No Frills), and Mexican hot chocolate. My only minuses for Los Amigos are: to go tamales need to be heated; no cooked arepas; and no alfajores.

Not all clientele that shop here do not speak a word of English as shockingly mentioned in the previous post (as you can miraculously see I do not only speak, read and write in English but seven other languages as well). :D There are other latin shops in St Catharines too but this one is the best and it has the most variety of products. And all the people who work here are super friendly and helpful too. They always say "hola" and welcome us as soon as we walk in. Esta tienda es buenísima! Mi marido y yo siempre vamos de compras aquí. Tienen todo lo que necesitamos para cocinar como chorizo Mexicana hasta mate de Argentina. Y aparte la gente que trabajan aquí, son muy amable y siempre nos saludan cuando entramos. Hay otras tiendas latinas en este ciudad, pero prefiero irme de compras aquí y no manejar por todos lados, porque tienen una grande variedad de productos y siempre encuentro lo que necesito. Lo mejor!!!

Store is tiny and it's a tight squeeze with customers coming and going. I know this is not the owner's fault but some of his customers are seriously high-maintenance who take up lots of time when checking out. I went in for roti, rusks and mogo (cassava) today and stood in line for 20 mins. while two aunties debated whether they needed this or that and how much was this and that. The owner is very polite and patiently listened ... while everyone in line was doing a slow burn. This place specializes in spices, a range of snacks and has everything you need for Indian or Pakistani cooking. His prices are quite reasonable. Almost everything in his shop is imported from South Asia. I saw some fresh paan leaves which had just come in off the plane, from India.

Not all branches do food - for example the Mississauga branch doesn't. Got a sugar cane for only $3. It came with options to add lime and/or ginger, which I declined. It seemed to have a bit of a sour edge, so it probably had lemon added. It was good, though it wasn't cold. On the flip side, that meant it wasn't cut with ice either. It was a bit small, though it was described on the receipt as "12 oz. Now bigger qty" so I guess it used to be even smaller. The paan (stuffed betel nut leaf) was actually pretty good - moist & a good mix of flavours, with a maraschino cherry pinned onto its outside with a toothpick. Masala butter pav was pretty good though the bun was soft & not crispy. Small samosa (for which they undercharged me - 20 cents though the menu said it was 25 cents to get you to buy 5 for $1) was actually pretty big. It was ok; though pre-made it still had some crispness. Batataka vada was large but plain & neither crispy nor warm so it wasn't good. The "jumbo" vada pav came in a burger bun. The patty was not crispy because it was pre-made & cold but it still tasted OK. The chutneys were nice. The patty used potato that was a bit coarse but still tasted ok; compressed into the bun the chunkiness of the potato was not so noticeable. The spiciness of the dish hit in the aftertaste especially hard. Some items are only available in "summer", but there's summer and there's summer; when I went sugar cane juice was available but not the ice golla.

They have excellent samosas and kachori. I recommend to go there for these tasty and convenient…read moresnacks!
