They consistently take my full basket to ring in the goods without making me place them on the counter. I like the spaciousness of this location. Never a traffic jam. Finding a sale item here and there is fun. The only thing I find is that their fruit is not as fresh. I bought a box of sugar mandarins yesterday. All of our family felt it tastes old and not very sweet. This is not the first time with fruits. Veggies are better but a miss once in a while as well. Everything else is fine and the place is well organized. I find shopping here much more at ease compared to the Richmond store.

Onigiri dinner wasn't my plan but when I walked in here and saw that the Onigiri were on sale. 2…read morefor $3.98, it seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. That works out to $2 per onigiri and that's got to be the best deal in town for Onigiri, especially given the size of these ones. Got pretty much the same flavors as previously. Mostly Tuna and Salmon onigiris, some of them with mayo, some of them spicy. The one flavor I took this time that was a new one for us was Kimchi Onigiri. I had tried Kimchi Onigiri earlier this year from Market Ribbon and I absolutely loved it. This one from Kim's Mart wasn't bad but personally, I prefer the one from Market Ribbon. The flavor from that one tastes better somehow. The Onigiri here are better when purchased directly from the Zenya food stall in International Village, but for a quick, affordable and cold bite to eat on a hot summer's day, 2 for $3.98 is pretty hard to beat!

Really tight aisles where it seems to only fit 1.5 person at most (kept getting bumped into and…read moreapologizing for bumping into other people) and inaccurate pricing. Even if you mention it to the cashiers they don't care and won't honour the price that was shown to the public. And looking at other reviews on google, this doesn't seem to be the first time. Imagine the shock if I didn't check the price and got home to an unexpected price tag. Even though extremely confusing, neither of the price tags shown were accurate for the item. The cashier didn't even apologize for the inaccurate pricing, honour it, or seem to change the price tag. It might be still cheap, but I hate being lied to, so I didn't buy it. Not coming back again! I don't care if it's cheaper than H mart! This will be the very first and very last time I come here. If you do decide to come, remember to check your receipt.

Awesome dumpy Asian supermarket at Kingsway and Gilley. The dumpiness is the key to authenticity…read more Don't let the dirtiness scare you off. Parking is plentiful in the lot in the front (back?) of the building, as well as on the street. The building clearly used to be 3 different businesses, as the layout is really bizarre. There are 3 large "rooms", joined by a corridor. To be honest, this place is probably quite the fire hazard to newcomers. Thank goodness somebody had the sense to stick a large map on the wall. Some doorways between the sections would be nice. With that out of the way, there are 3 sections. Product, meat/aquarium (yes, aquarium), and dried goods. Pricing is in line with other places. The place is quite popular with locals, which tells you everything you need to know. As with other similar businesses, there is a hot food section as well. I picked up some takeout and it was mediocre. Does the job, but nothing special. I imagine this place serves the local market quite well. Wouldn't make a special trip out, but good to know the place exists.

To be honest some of the meats look a little sketchy. Some of the produce doesn't look the freshest either. But the prices are pretty good and that's a big thing these days. The service is ok and there is a decent size parking lot in the back. I believe there is street parking out front at certain times.......

It's nice that they have a T&T Supermarket close to the downtown area…read more My first experience to a T&T (always visiting from the Bay Area) was the Lansdowne Location in Richmond. It's huge, has a whole bakery, hot foods, cosmetic, and various other departments. Obviously to compare that location - set in the residential area, to this one - set in the city, would be unfair. T&T at this location does a good job at having enough of its well known items - fresh produce, meats, prepared foods, baked items, cosmetics, and beverages. All in all, it's a great location with its proximity to downtown Vancouver, Chinatown, the Stadium, and my favorite - Costco. Wishing it continued success.

We often walk out of here with several bags of vegetables for less than $60, which is unheard of at a larger grocery store. As well, they have an excellent selection of international items.
