Not everything has English labels so it's tougher to do exploratory shopping if you aren't familiar with the products. Store clerks were nice, but highly preferential towards the regulars who spoke Russian. Warning: carefully inspect packaging for Expiry/Packaged On dates. I found out that, after the fact, quite a bit of the stuff I bought wasn't very fresh. Threw away two out of four cheeses because they were pretty far gone. They were so bad that I did not feel it was worth holding onto it to bring back to the store for a refund, just wanted to be rid of it. I take responsibility that I should've checked better, but it's poor business practice for the store to be carrying inventory that isn't safe for patrons. Hope to see this improved on.

Thought this place was gonna be gone by now cuz I'd read awhile back that it was on the market, but…read moremore than 2 years later...it's still around. Hooray! Such a great place to shop for Japanese food and beverages. Lots of variety and such great deals too. I picked up a few packs of dried soba noodles, a couple boxes of Japanese curry to cook our dinner, and a couple bottles of latte to bring home and put in the fridge for the family. Everything I bought was on sale. This place is right next door to Kim's Mart and while one sells Korean foods, and the other sells Japanese, my understanding is that both places are owned by the same people. It does feel like there's a lot of overlap between the two places...like they sell a lot of the same stuff for the same prices. There's no fresh produce here at Sakuraya though. It's mostly non perishable stuff. Please keep this place around...forever! We love this place!

Nice place for some Japanese snacks and pantry goods. Depending on the items, can be quite cheap…read more Remember to check the expiry date though to see if you can consume the item before it expires though. Need to go up and down some stairs. Aisles are a bit narrow, but relatively well organized. Might be able to find some Japanese items you can't find in other stores. Friendly staff!

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.

It's very reasonably priced and has every type of food item you would find in a grocery store. The desserts are amazing and well priced. I love the mango cake and the whipped cream and fruit cakes. Their tarts are also very good. Today I went in to get some take out food. There is quite a food selection including soups and rice. And it was reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful. And the store was tidy but I did find it a bit tight in there compared to other T and Ts I've been to.

Though a tad on the pricey side, I indulged on one piece of Turkish Delight with pistachios on the outside and pomegranate and caramel inside. It was so tasty that I have no regrets when I enjoyed it with my latte nearby. I also bought the Lebanese coffee and it offered the same Mediterranean taste of coffee...and potency. I ended up adding a box of Turkish Delight candies and a fresh block of Bulgarian Feta cheese. Very cool store and I will return for other items.

Came through at the last minute!…read more I was heading to a dinner party and when I heard the food was Greek themed, I offered to bring dessert with every intention of bringing baklava. The restaurant I decided to pick it up from was sold out so I had to make a last minute pivot to Mediterranean Specialty Foods in the hopes that they still had some before they closed (I had 12 minutes till close!) Not only did they have enough for me to bring, but they had at least 6 types to choose from (which only made it harder given my time crunch) I only wish I took some photos if I had the time. I'll be back to try the others offerings and to peruse the shelves!

Produce at regular ( tier 2 is what I call it) prices that are a little more than superstore/no frills and below Whole foods. The store was very bright and empty looking. " Open concept" if you will. They have a good selection of international Asian good especially from Japan, they have hot pot meat. Randomly ,they have dishware or kitchen ware that happened to be on sale at a decent price. I got a few snacks to try and found the peanut filling for the Asian mochi balls. Also potato starch at a decent price. They also have a prepared food section with an assortment of sushi, hot food, and side dishes. Even a section of high end Japanese goodies that came in those gift box like packages. Got a good selection of items but this would be more of a place for access to Asian goods/snacks as a treat without having to travel than a regular grocery shopping store. There seems to be paid parking somewhere but there are areas with 2 hour limited parking on surround streets

We ordered the pistachio croissant ($7) and the prosciutto and brie baguette ($16). The croissant was good but the filling was so watery that it was oozing everywhere (maybe because it was too hot outside?) and the baguette was toasted with the proscuitto (which made it a bit of a soggy mess?). A little disappointed by the food tbh.
