On the western edge of the area known as Danforth Village is this fruits and vegetables grocer…read morenamed Danforth Village (west of Main St.) You won't be confused because it has "Quality Fruits & Vegetables" included in its green & white store sign. I used to come down to this area to support this small business and dropped in for fresh berries for a super price compared to Sobeys a few doors down. Did so again today. Store staff aren't particularly brimming with friendliness but that's okay as the mission is to get high quality food for what each of us deems reasonable. Cash is king! Surcharge added for non-cash transaction.

This is my local green grocer. My go to place for fresh veggies at a good price…read more Everything here is broken down from larger packages. It is sorted and cleaned. Service is always a big thing for me. The operators and staff here are part of the neighbourhood. They know their customers and it is always busy. I like the quality of the veggies here and the fact that they treat you just as good if you're spending $50 or just buying an apple to snack on. You won't be disappointed here!

A phone call was made earlier this week to this store based on the number that was posted on this…read morestore's website. A call was made for a meat product to know if it was sold in a case and if this store would deliver so we can buy from them. When the call was made a very mean grumpy miserable old man had answered the phone and in a very angry voice said "this is the meat department ! You should be calling the main store line !" I told him this was the main number on the website that given. If this is not the number can you transfer me? He said " NO !" With that the man hung up on me. How much does it take to press a button on a phone to transfer? Guess that is too much technology for that old guy to handle and way too rude ! Taking business elsewhere

I absolutely LOVE Fruit King. Here's why:…read more The produce is always fresh and somehow always seems to taste miles better than what I get at big chain grocery stores. Not to mention it's dirt cheap. I eat A LOT of fruits and veggies, which can get pretty pricey...thanks to Fruit King I can afford to feed myself :) And the good doesn't stop there. For such a tiny hole-in-the-wall market they still manage to have a great variety of produce. I should mention though that if you're looking for a fully stocked grocery you've come to the wrong place. However, they do carry things are difficult to find in regular groceries (for example, lemon grass...I can NEVER find lemon grass!). And you'll find other goodies besides fruits and veggies-- cheap spices, dry noodles, Asian cooking sauces, canned/jarred goods, dried fruit, etc. As far as service goes it's top-notch. The cashiers ring-in and bag your purchases at the speed of light. Fruit King is just plain delicious!

I typically don't shop for groceries in places other than the grocery store and very rarely,…read moreChinatown but I have been noticing the fresh fruits and vegetables that this place is displaying now that the weather has been improving. I just purchased 2 tubs of fresh organic strawberries for $3! Steal! That is way cheaper than St. Lawrence Market. I will keep my eye out for similar deals whenever I pass this place again. The inside of the store looks very similar to a Chinatown store setup, with a scale and 1 cashier at the front that quickly processes the transactions. It's true, there's no service provided here, and the area where they place the vegetable looks quite dingy but the freshness of their produce and price is what the 4 stars are for.

I am writing a review of this Fruit store as I have shopped there previously. I must say the staff…read moreare polite, professional, and, above courteous-One amongst the many positives I have besides the produce. I can only say that "Hey how are you?" is a great form of customer service from the workers who show that they take pride in their work. I have only positive comments to say and, this place gets my business-Hands down from now on. I bought some Nectarines and, a bag of Grapes-the best I have ever had from a nice lady employee and, thanks to her and, the staff!!. Have a Great Week!!.

The old market was very cramped and had poor lighting, and I was always reluctant to shop there. The new owners are much more friendly. The products are fresh and the selection is good. It's much better than shopping at Metro in terms of price and quality. My only complaint is that the shop is a little small and can get very crowded at peak hours. You can't really shop in one half of the shop because there is a line up of customers.

Ditto with the veggies. I like the Longo's brand of pasta (the beef tortellini and porchetta and mushroom ravioli are stand outs). While I haven't tried them, they do have the deli, butcher, and seafood counters. Theres also the hot and salad bars, which are popular around lunchtime. Staff are pleasant and helpful, as are checkout cashiers!

This looks like your typical small Chinese grocery store in Chinatown. It is packed with grocery…read moreproducts in every nook and cranny. Inside the lights are lower than in a big chain grocery store. They also sold potted plants and cut flowers. Prices are the same or slightly better than at a big chain grocery store. For example, I wanted to buy a bag of cherries. There were two prices, $2.99/lb and $4.99/lb. The difference was that the more expensive cherries were bigger in size. There were fruits displayed outside the store, like the cherries. When I was there, the cherries were in the shade. However, the temperature was 31C with humidex of 38C; are fruit affected by humidex? I suspect they are. But if the strong was shining o  it, I worry about the fruit getting over ripe. My cherries were OK for the $2.99/lb price I paid. At my first set of 25 cherries, one was rotten. The sweetness level varied from cherry to cherry. They sold all the typical fruit and vegetables, without having any Chinese vegetables or fruit. This is in Greektown, after all. It is best to use cash. There is a charge of $0.25 for debit, so that's acceptable. There is some minimum purchase for credit cards, but I don't remember the rules. There is no free WiFi. The store is not wheelchair accessible (aisles top narrow). There are no customer washrooms. There is paid and free neighbourhood street parking. Review 2023-217

Nawzar Halal Meat Market is a butcher shop specializing in all sorts of fresh halal meats,…read moregroceries and ready to eat foods. Their food is available for delivery on UberEats and DoorDash. My haul consisted of their Sultan with Green Rice, Koobideh kabobs, Joojeh kabobs, ample heaps of polow rice and delicious Ghormeh Sabzi - considered the national dish of Iran dating back 5000 years. It elicits debates among chefs as to which herbs (tareh, parsley, scallion, cilantro, shanbalileh, etc.) and beans to include or exclude. Debates aside, it sure was tasty! Couldn't find a menu in store, either the prices really fluctuate daily on dishes or they make up random pricing. The jury is out in that one! I did note what their offerings were without looking at a menu. Shish kabob charcoal. Halal fresh meats. Ready to eat hot food. Spaghetti with lamb. Beef with safran rice. Chicken leg with cranberry rice. Lamb shank with green rice. Sultan with green rice. Waziri with cranberry rice. Khorma zabzi. Lobya polo, rice with ground veal and green beans. Ghimeh stow. Polow (white rice). Gheimeh (Qeimeh mutton khoresh) stew. Ground veal stick. Chicken kebab. Ayran yogurt drink. Next time I'll order a delivery of their Tahdig, and will try an order of their lamb spaghetti.
