During the 2021 pandemic, I have stopped in for shopping. They still have sales, the veg is okay, the can and dried food is okay. But...the line ups and the covid precaution is just not good. The line ups are setup at the open freezer section so to get into the store you're crossing line ups. There is minimal e enforcement on social distancing. I might have to take a break shopping here until the pandemic passes. read more

Cashiers are rude and no customer service at all. One of them keeps throwing your purchase unrespectfully at the counter with a very bad temper. Please keep away for buying from this supermarket since their employees are not going to treat you as a customer ! read more

I come here from time to time as it's the closest Asian grocery store around. I wouldn't say it's better than B-trust or T&T, but it's still decent. In terms of a grocery store, it's got good stuff. At least when I'm looking for things it's because I want to make cà phê sa đá and I need to pick up condensed milk and coffee. Or I need a big pho bowl for my obsessive golden turtle takeout binge. It's got good stuff. The other reason I come is for the hot food. I honestly don't like the BBQ Pork from here, it's got a pork flavour to it. Which sounds odd, but pork can either taste like everywhere else or it can have this stronger flavour that I personally dislike. It's moist though, not dry at all. I don't like the sui mai that much either, but that's just me being picky again. The fried rice is also not up to my standards, but it's a good start if you don't want to fry rice yourself, could easily be made into something great. But I don't come for the pork, I'm a bigger fan of the ho fan. It's amazing. Just perfect here. Then the cheong fun, that's also great. Especially when you forget to eat throughout the day, it's cheap and tasty. Their Singapore style vermicelli isn't really my thing, but I'm really picky as that's my favourite noodle dish of all time. Lastly, the krupuk udang is amazing here. All oily and fresh out the fryer, it's good. So that's about it for me here. Oh and the lines move pretty quickly. read more

B-Trust owned, but in between Oceans and T&T. Setup reminded me of Oceans (more the Brampton location), but Terra is less ghetto as it's new. Reminded me of T&T in terms of being organised like a Western grocery store. Did not smell like fish water...yet. Customers were more reflective of this part of Mississauga, re: more White people. I felt that it was less hustle/bustle pushing than the other more established Chinese grocery stores, so that was nice. Busyness may depend on time of day. My visit was on a Saturday evening, during dinnertime. Only time will tell whether or not this particular store gets rundown. read more

Terra Foodmart - They had a bulk section. Store was neat and organised similar to Oceans (Mississauga). - Grocery Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

DON'T get their cooked food. It's terrible and never worth the prices. We got general Tao chicken and eggplant for dinner. The chicken was so sweet and tasted like rubber. I should have not gotten it the moment I saw it's super red colour. And the eggplant had some plastic flavour. I think the food had been sitting there the whole day but somehow tasted like leftover from last week!!! Are they not doing as well? The store seemed too quiet for a Sunday. read more

I am forced to add a revised rating for Terra as some recent visits have been surprising. With Chinese New Year, I decided it would be easiest to head to Terra as it is usually less busy than some of the other stores. While there, I picked up some of their hot food. It all looked fresh enough. However, one look into the kitchen area concerned me. Huge piles of junk and disorganized, with things everywhere. The standards seem to have gone downhill in a very drastic way. No longer are things displayed attractively, rather just boxes piled in haphazard ways. Terra started off in a very promising way. Now I'm not sure it will be around much longer. read more

Variety. That is the first word I thought of when writing a review of this pan-Asian (as well as many, many other world regions) market. Literally every region imaginable, as well as more standard western fare. Really awesome. OH! Also, it is much, MUCH more reasonably priced than I'd typically find in the U.S. I went for the first time today, and was pleasantly surprised. I'm visiting from the US (I didn't vote for the mass of orange diarrhea, so don't blame me when we all die in a nuclear holocaust), and one of my first priorities when visiting the Toronto area for the first time was checking out as many ethnic stores as I possibly could. So good. read more

Apparently this is a new branch of B-Trust and it appears to be aiming for the Oakville market since it is closer to Oakville than the Mississauga core. a) So far, it's clean. I said the same thing about Oceans once they first but as they got more customers, it got more worn down and less clean. b) They have reasonable prices (same as most Asian grocery stores). c) They have a hot food section with a decent assortment of dim sum and Chinese fast food. The one big downside I find about this place is that they don't seem to serve freshly baked (or at least in-house made) Chinese pastries. Verdict: Same as B-Trust, but just closer to Oakville. read more

Disgusting, they try to sell you old discolored fish. Will never go again. When it first opened it was clean and had alot of baked goods, now its all old prepacked and processed foods read more

I believe this is a BTrust owned grocery store. Unlike BTrust it has a combination of asian and non asian foods which I assume is to attract the demographic in the area. It took over a location that used to house a Sobeys. It's clean and open although not everything is set up yet it seems, at least not in the hot foods section. For some reason the hot foods section is this slow moving chaotic line up which is the same as BTrust. One item plus fried rice or noodles for $4.99 and two item combo is $5.99 with soup choice of hot and sour or egg drop. The roasted meat section is not open yet (will it be?!). Groceries are standard fare and what I expect from an asian supermarket combined with North American groceries. Fish, meat, bakery, and fruit and vegetable sections are all clean and a wide variety available. Cashiers are friendly and quick. Nice to finally have an Asian supermarket closer to Oakville. read more

I've been coming here to get groceries on my lunch hour at work on a few occasions. The setup is very similar to TnT but with cheaper prices. Their hot food selection is pretty good and they have a place for you to sit and eat if you like. They have pretty much everything you need from fresh produce to live seafood. read more

Closest Chinese groceries near my house; so I have ventured here quite a few times to pick up some ingredients to cook up some Vietnamese dishes. Since it just opened, it is very clean, and I feel like the meat and fruit/veggies selections is kept very fresh. As other reviewers mentioned, there is a different demographic at this grocery market. Therefore, I feel like cleanliness, and hygiene is more valued by the customers than at other Mississauga Chinese groceries. There is less pushing, littering, etc. Also, cashiers are usually younger students so they aren't as grouchy and rude as other places (I can name a few). Overall, I would definitely come here for my usual grocery shopping than venturing out further into Mississauga... read more

When Terra first opened up I was impressed with their selection and quality. But now, after being open for a couple of year this place is just terrible. Their prices have risen dramatically and the quality of their food has gone down hill. Not that they care. The fresh fish, which I used to purchase now looks like it's weeks old. The frozen smoked salmon, looks like it has been their since they first opened the store. I made the mistake today of going over to pick up some meat which I was told was good. The eye of prime rib. What a mistake. Tough, tough, tough. I've cooked for over 50 years and this was the worst meat I have ever come across. My suggestion...go to Nations instead, although I see signs that this place is also sliding. read more

Terrible customer service...everybody rude...poor quality..their hot food section is getting worse by the day...lots of expired foods..we only go.there to buy chicken and duck feet for thr dogs read more

Horrendous service. Came here with my grandparents, who are old and feeble. As we were paying, I ran to grab something and came back to see my elderly grandparents bagging the heavy grocery items by themselves. I looked around, and every other cashier was bagging their customers paid items neatly and promptly. Only this one cashier decided to let my grandparents bag their own things, because they didn't know any better. Came here a second time with my mom. This incident happened again. I look young, and was wrapped up in a scarf. Another cashier thought I didn't know better, and elbowed my things to the side lane while I was paying, threw bags at me, and hurried to bag the items of the customer behind me. Again, all the other cashiers were consistently bagging items. I begin to suspect this is an occurring theme for this store, to bully the weak. When I questioned her, she proceeded to hurl verbal insults at me. Her colleague came to intervene, but sent her away without further action after her discriminatory insults, which was very unprofessional. I mentioned that her actions were unprofessional, to which she answered, "yes, we are unprofessional." And refused to let me see a manager. In the end, I called the supermarket hotline, was then connected to a manager, who then confirmed, "all employees are obligated to bag items." read more

An extremely subpar grocery store. The hot food dish I bought tasted like it was beyond its expiry date. The aisles and produce were disheveled beyond what the one staff member organizing at the time could hope to fix. The lineup for the cashier stretched 12 customers long because only three cash registers were open - I waited what felt like an eternity to cash out my one item. Terra seems horribly managed from the bottom up. Its one saving grace is that the cashier at the cash register was extremely kind to me by correcting the price of my item, despite being overwhelmed with the sheer number of customers before me, and likely after me as well. read more

I come from L.A., where there are a lot of Asian markets and general ethnic groceries available, so I was cautiously optimistic that this one would be good. In my opinion, it's quite good and has all the things that you would expect from an Asian market: cheap prices, body parts of animals that you never thought people ate, weird odors, and all the ingredients to remake what you had the night before at a Chinese restaurant. Selection: Their summer time selection is very good, and it really stands out when it comes to veggies. You can find all kinds of greens, root veggies, mushrooms, legumes, and other stuff that isn't often used in other cuisines. The produce looks very fresh, not too many with blemishes or bruises. The meat section is pretty standard; you're also see fun things like pig feet that you wouldn't at an average market. The seafood section is interesting; there's a lot of stuff, but I would still probably say to buy at your own risk; you never know how long something's been sitting out there on ice, which is obviously less controlled than a fridge. The live stuff looks okay though. Yeah it smells weird at times, that's what happens when half the ocean is in a room temperature building. I would note the one area where they're a bit deficient is the dairy section; dairy isn't hugely used in east Asian cuisine. Prices: The pricing is very good compared to the other two markets I went to in the area (Starskys, Longo's). Obviously if you want to put together like a cracker / grapes / Italian cold cuts platter, go to one of those places. But if you're just shopping for everyday stuff, like raw meats or fresh produce, the prices are way cheaper here and the quality seems to be just as good. Absolutely if you are looking for some kind of sauce, a particular noodle, or fresh dim sum, this is the place to go. It's really in a pretty good location (I bike there from my place). I would note that it's good to know what you're looking for. Not everything is in English, and sometimes the signs are just the Chinese characters written out with English letters, not actually translated into English. It's pretty clean for an Asian market in my experience, and there are definitely people who are fluent in English if you need help. And be forewarned that if you go on the weekend, you'll probably be waiting for 15 minutes in the checkout line. Edit (Aug '17): something I have noticed over the last year that I've lived here is that items that are not Asian-specific (e.g., peanut butter, pasta sauce, canned fruit) are not necessarily any cheaper than some place like Wal-Mart (and even Longo's), and in some instances are more expensive. Not by a significant margin granted, but something to consider if you are a big penny-pincher. I started buying most of the non-Asian things elsewhere since I happen to pass by on my various bus routes. I have also been experimenting more with the discount section (back left corner). The seafood is usually discounted because it's just recently died (the shellfish) or has been sitting around for a bit (the fish). So far eaten a crab, a lobster, a salmon head, and tilapia and had no issues. Would cook it basically as soon as you get home though, especially the shellfish. Produce is hit or miss; a lot of it is discounted just because it's got some blemishes (like bruises), but sometimes it's just way too ripe and probably only viable for a jam or something. read more

Worst customer service. Very rude cashier. She was speaking to fellow associate in Chinese and all of a sudden grabbed one tofu from him and abandoned us (her register) without saying anything. 6 people were waiting after me. We were wondering where'd she go?!!! After I asked one of cashier call someone because waiting almost 10 min is absolutely ridiculous. After she came without saying anything not even sorry I was so upset. I told here do you know you only have three lanes are open? She mumbled sorry. And she continuing throwing my stuff and mumbling. I was shocked! Never seen a person who was so unprofessional and giving attitude towards their customers. I know it is a Chinese supermarket and you don't expect any " better service" . However I will demand a bit decency from all human being! read more

Don't trust the way how to kill fresh fish. We paid for a live fish but the man just dropped the fish on the floor to kill the fish behind the counter. Really? They picked up a fish and looks dead already but we cannot recognize the fish. So, we'll not buy fresh fish from them anymore. read more

My rating is benchmarked vs T&T and B-Trust: - price great & free bags & credit/debit accepted - selection pretty good for most Asian specialty products eg. Frozen prepared items, fresh produce, sauces - prepared hot food not available @9am On weekend yet - fresh produce pretty good for essentials - natural superfood organic type stuff minimal eg no almond milk etc - checkout slow 20min but it was 930am on weekend - parking plenty & free - convenient for neighbourhood & locals - service average - ambience & decor - who cares about food smell I'm in a grocery store for food - better than the Sobeys that closed down at that same location read more

I stopped in today as Terra is now my local grocery after a recent move. The layout is similar to T&T. I couldn't find egg chow mein noodles and there wasn't any staff around to ask. Also the cashier was chatting away with a coworker while we in the checkout line stood and waited. Not an auspicious beginning, to be sure. read more

Great customer service sometimes could use better attitude but I understand it's a very long day working at supermarkets and we just can't expect everyone to always be in a great mood. Very large variety in fresh produce sections and it is very busy for a reason read more

I came here on a Friday evening for a couple of items on their flyer, one of which was lobsters which was advertised for $8.88/lb. As per previous experience with the Chinese, it was definitely a bait and switch experience. I requested a large sized lobster which was approximately between 3-5 lbs and I was told that the one on sale was the smaller ones which was 1-1.5 lbs even though the advertising didn't indicate any conditions. It was not a good way to conduct business. I also grabbed a bag of milk but returned it when I realized that the best before date was February 4th. My visit was the 9th of February so it was really disconcerting. Also, I tried their prepared food and it was either too salty, bland or too starchy. I ordered some shaomai and steamed bun and instead of getting a proper amount of meat in them it tasted as if it was mostly dough and not enough meat. It was definitely not worth what you pay for. It was not busy when I came in, in fact there was about 4 cashiers open but it took longer than usual to cash out as the cashier that I had was busy talking than actually working to cash me out. All in all not a very positive experience. read more
