And is it cheap! You'll find lots of interesting foodstuffs for around half the price you'll find them at the nearest high street grocery store. Deepak is also a spice haven: their spice section extends along two lengthy aisles. They're also really good for cheap fresh fruit and vegetables, though if there is one thing they fall a little short on it's their selection of fresh meat. Deepak is a must do if you're looking to fill your cupboards with food!

Wildly surprised…read morebut pleasantly relieved - I mean, where else can I buy good quality udon, kim chee, noodle mixes, frozen dumplings, super thin sliced beef/pork for hotpot and fresh shiitake for a good price? I know Japan Centre has similar quality but the price point is not always right. Chinatown is good for some things (fresh veggies, fresh rice noodle rolls, ramen, etc.) but it's hard to beat the selection at H-Mart. There is good lighting and sufficient aisle space so carts going in opposite directions don't have to awkwardly back out of the aisle so the opposing cart can go first (kind of like the naughty London roads!) - in most grocery stores in Chinatown, you are elbow to elbow with someone else trying to get a damn jar of Hoisin sauce in your overflowing basket. Customer service is lacking, especially when something is out of stock and no one in the store seems to know what is going on or when they will get more. Aside from the cashiers, most people working the floor do not speak English very well. The employees are mainly Korean and Chinese. However, most items are translated to English on labels and signage. I will continue to shop here for quality groceries and I hope they open more locations so that it is easily assessable to more people in London.

Handily, it's also open later (until 10pm on weekdays) than most other supermarkets in the vicinity. I like the WellBeing section with interesting products and some decently priced lines. The deli counter has a comprehensive range, with some occasional quirky offerings and tastings. I recently made an intriguing new taste discovery here: Ilchester's Cheddar & Fruitcake combination - unusual and delicious! There's a pharmacy at the back of the store that also has a fair selection of alternative remedies. In contrast, close to the front of the store is a hot counter with cooked chicken, ribs, Chinese and Indian dishes. When I've had cause to ask questions at this store I've experienced both ends of the spectrum: fantastically helpful smiling staff and, on several occasions, downright aggression (even in response to a very normal bog-standard enquiry).

I rate their Extra Special wine selection which cleverly allows you to to buy a mini bottle so you can try before you opt for the full-price, full-size number. The wholefood section also has good things and has improved greatly, recently. Staff here are very helpful and polite for instance, when I've requested an item that's missing from the shelves, even coming to track me down to inform me if they've been able to find it, while I'm continuing to shop.

Decent range and the prices are always good also fresh items can be reduced significantly when the sell by date is close so always worth a check for these. Staff always seem happy and willing to help you out of your confusion. Recently slightly remodelled. It's easy to fill up your trolley here with lots of things you never knew you wanted before entering the store. Plenty of parking outside and a nearby Boots for items Asda has not stocked. A Wickes opposite if you are into DIY.

Overall, I believe that they've delivered on that promise. This Wimbledon store is a good size but can't compete on floorspace with the giant Sainsburys Savacentre or the Tesco Extra store nearby. However, it's a good size for a town centre supermarket. They have a nice selection of food counters where you can buy and eat at the tables provided. Alternatively you can take home a ready made meal such as fresh pizza to be cooked at home. I like their fish counter very much and I tend to find more interesting fish and seafood here than at their competitors. I've bought fresh oysters, octopus and sushi grade fish here. They will scale and prepare any of the fresh fish for you. Similarly the butchers seem to know what they're talking about. The rest of the store is quite generic. One trick I feel they're missing is a loyalty scheme like Tesco's Clubcard

It hasn't changed much in the years that it's been part of the local shopping scene although the cafe has gone to make way for a plant department. There always seem to be queues at the checkouts although the store is generally well-staffed. This may be testament to its good value. I believe that it now stays open until 11pm on weekdays and, further to Yee Gan's review, there is a loyalty/price comparison card available.

On the shopping front, I try to buy a range of items but each time I go there the item is either not carried at all (but it is by their much smaller Camden store), or is out of stock. On the eating front, I've never been a great fan of Whole Foods' congealed hot section, which is as bad here as it is the world over. However, the cooked to order section here needs improving. I had the beef nachos here the other day and the beef had little flavour and the nachos themselves had a strong flavour of lemon washing up liquid. But the roast is good. Just a little improvement could make this place much better.

I managed to buy a nice chickpea salad but forgot to enquire as to the name of the band playing in the background. I was thinking maybe for my grandmother or maybe if I was having a very bad day...

The prices you pay reflect the quality of the products and produce you're buying but it is great and I love it. The staff are friendly and helpful and it's definitely better than heading to your local Tescos.

Perhaps surprisingly there aren't many other supermarkets, in close proximity, that provide such extended trading hours so I've occasionally found myself here, late in the evening, when I need a few items. The entrance is not the most alluring, or welcoming, as the main access route is via the large, covered car park. As you approach the store entrance there are a couple of handy cash point machines and a satellite McDonald's (not open 24 hours). Before arriving at the food and drink aisles, you'll discover a decent sized George section with a fair choice for men, women and children - although not all the lines are stocked here. If you're 'tempted' into trying-on any items, be aware that the fitting rooms close at around 10pm. Whenever I've visited late in the evening, it's a little like an obstacle course as it coincides with shelf-stocking time and that appears to take precedence over customer service. Few tills are staffed at these times, so both factors are worth bearing in mind - if you're not in a patient or tolerant mood! That said, there's plenty of choice in most areas and there are sometimes some surprisingly appealing or useful bargains in the homeware section.
