This location is an interesting mixed branding of keeping the Osaka store name, while branded with…read moreT&T logo, T&T staff and fully stocked on T&T products. Ambiance is bright and spacious but its service is mediocre. So my favorite T&T locations have super dedicated managers and very helpful staff that are willing to go the extra mile even when busy. This spot is not my least favorite location and there are some helpful senior staff but they also have some staff here that would actually answer your questions with "I don't know" or "dunno, hmm, can you ask the other staff..." as if that's an acceptable service expectation at T&T...Tina would not be pleased. Food-wise, their sushi section is usually well stocked and their uni sashimi is quite fresh when they do carry uni. Though i should note that their uni sashimi are priced higher than Sungiven. The dessert and pastries section here are decent where you can find a whole cake for special occasions and pretty looking desserts and their hot foods section could consider adding more variety to its menu. Regardless of its store name, it is a solid supermarket, well stocked with Asian products including quality T&T branded snacks, korean beauty brands plus fresh fruits and plenty of food varieties.

i often drop by osaka when i'm at park royal and, honestly, i can't tell the difference between…read moreosaka and t&t. perhaps t&t leans more chinese while osaka has a slightly more japanese focus, but in terms of setup, product selection, and even the loyalty program, they're identical. like t&t, osaka is an excellent asian grocery store. while this location isn't the biggest, it still offers an impressive selection of fresh produce, seafood, meats, baked goods, sauces, and specialty items. whether you're looking for everyday groceries or hard-to-find asian ingredients, it's a reliable place to shop. on this visit, i was picking up a few ingredients for a potluck dinner, but i always find myself browsing the aisles longer than expected. stepping into osaka, it's easy to feel transported straight to asia. there's a faint smell of durian wafting through the produce section, a familiar scent for those who love the fruit and an instant giveaway that they carry fresh durian. during chinese new year, the store is especially festive, adorned with red and gold decorations, special holiday snacks, and a variety of red envelopes to choose from. it's one of my favourite times to visit, as the energy in the store feels extra vibrant. beyond groceries, osaka has a lot to explore. their live seafood tanks are always fun to check out, offering fresh selections you don't always find in other grocery stores. the snack aisle is a must-stop, filled with imported treats from japan, korea, and china. they also have a bakery section with fresh breads and pastries, a deli for quick and ready-to-eat meals, including the viral papa chicken and a range of household essentials. in addition to food, they even carry k-beauty products, making it a convenient one stop shop for more than just groceries.

Waaah I loved this place! Vancouver, how lucky you are to have Konbiniya!…read more Walking into this place felt a little bit like being transported into Japan. I'm from the Bay Area and we have our fair share of Japanese grocery stores (shout out to Niiya in Japantown in San Francisco) but I was very excited to see the selection here. Definitely came across items I've never seen before like a Takoyaki flavored Ramune. It was extremely discounted just fyi probably for good reason. They even had Japanese canned drinks stored hot like in Japan! The take away Japanese desserts also looked good. This place is right on Robson street so a great place to grab a snack, drink, pick me up while shopping. Prices seemed reasonable. One caveat is that it can get busy in here and the aisles are small so it felt a little crowded but that's sort of like Japan as well lol so not a big deal for me. Added to the ambience. Checkout was quick and easy!

Wonderful little slice of Japan tucked into Robson Street. Extensive selection of all manner of…read morecandies, onigiri (rice and seasonings wrapped in crisp seaweed), matcha-flavoured snacks, soy sauces, numerous styles of miso paste...you get the idea. It sounds crowded - and it is - but once you push your way to the back of the store, you'll find a tiny Japan tour travel agency and a shelf of clearance items at rock-bottom prices. Service is cheerful, personable and brisk. The store also houses a takeaway crepe and ice cream shop - the crepes are actually better than the ones I've had in Tokyo.

The prices are a little up there but understandable given they might've needed to have the food shipped at a slightly higher distances. The few employees I've met seem to be pretty friendly. The only thing I recommend that you have to watch out for is that some of the foods and drinks had passed their expiry dates. Like some of their soda had really passed it by as much as 1 month or even 2~3 months..... yikes. But it's just the drinks I've noticed. Wouldn't be surprised if their snacks passed it too (kind of to be expected since I rarely seen anyone else in this location, sadly).
