How could you be a fan of a supermarket? When your family eats as much rice as mine does, and you…read morecan by cheap rice in bulk (as well as supplies for Japanese food), then you would also be a fan. In comparison to other Korean supermarkets, this one is pretty huge. Generally, if they don't have it, you don't need it. Btw, if you sign up for a red card, you amass points which you can use for future discounts.

While sometimes I require help with the translations ( I understand 0% Chinese), I have not been steered wrong yet. Have always found this place to be good value.

Put the right Prices or have it in English not Chinese! I'm Chinese but can't read Chinese. Their customer service is appalling! I'd rather shop elsewhere. Learn to speak English if you work at a place not only Chinese people shop at!

I was only having a discussion with someone a week ago about Persian supermarkets. His argument was…read morethat the Persians make the best kebabs, to which I said, "well get thee to Joe's Pizza and Arax in Lindfield (review http://frid.co/nhjor1 )". To this he retorted that he would not be able to survive without regular visits to his local Persian supermarket... And so less than a week later I walk by a brand new addition to the Hornsby community. It was pretty small, and some of the items I think I might be able to get at other shops, but admittedly I am no expert on this type of food. That said, when I saw a bottle of sour cherry jam, I had to have it. I love a good sour cherry. Especially if it is in a German strudel... or ... as it would seem... on toast with a bit of peanut butter... :-) I know right... I am all class. :-) In any case, if this is something you are seeking out, and you are in the area, this is going to be one of your only options. They have only been open for 3 weeks so far, so are still filling out their stock base, but it is always great to be able to find different types of foods (at least I think so).

This is why you need a good greengrocers. And Freshco is very well stocked (including Sonoma bread!). It's by no means the cheapest - keep an eye on the specials out the front for a good deal - but the staff are lovely and it's the place you can confidently go for all your healthy produce. That's if Thomas Dux doesn't lure you upstairs.

I normally will check the prices before heading to Woolies or Coles. Makes for better peace of mind when shopping, as there is nothing worse than buying something and then finding it cheaper only minutes afterwards...

Only issue now is that DC Mart (review http://frid.co/pcC6Xt ) opened up with a larger range. If you want a more personalised service, check these guys out. They have served us well, and stock pretty much everything you could need. Btw, if you are looking for fresh veg or rice, it is right down the back.
