This market is located in J-Town, a small Japanese shopping centre with a few restaurants and a bakery so a nice place to shop then lunch or dinner. This is one our family favourite shopping centre and we have been coming for years!

What a fabulous find in the middle of downtown!…read more Fantastic selection of various Asian fresh, frozen and pantry staples - imported & local. It's mostly focused on Chinese ingredients, but they have enough items for Korean and Japanese that you can get by with in a pinch. They also seem to have separate mini boutiques for assorted tchotchkes and beauty products which I didn't investigate. The store looked pretty new and very clean. They also had an impressive array of hot and cold foods to-go that looked quite good, although I didn't try any. If I have any complaint, it is the fact that most of the vegetables are prepackaged in miles of plastic wrap and styrofoam... it is shocking to see. But aside from that, I'd have to say this beats the T&T by a good margin, and I am a T&T devotee from when they opened their first store in Burnaby in the early 90's!

Outside of your everyday Asian products, they had a lot of prepared food - sushi, side dishes, including kimchi, etc, dim sum, fried foods, hot buffet with all your popular Chinese foods. I went back few days later to grab some food for dinner. I got some items from the buffet, dim sum, order of fried shrimp tempura and kimchi. Skip the kimchi, the dim sum was decent and the food from the buffet was worth it. Check out moves quickly, the staff behind the buffet were very helpful. Make sure to bring your own bag.

In the end, I decided to buy elsewhere since the prices here are heavily marked up by 2 times or more compared to other stores. They sell Onigiri but it's overpriced and too much rice with very little filling. This store also doesn't accept cash if your purchase is less than 10 bucks. Location is closer to me but I'd rather go to other Asian stores selling way cheaper alternatives for Japanese good/pantry staples.

Sanko Trading located along Queen St. W. and Claremont St. is my go to Japanese grocery store…read moredowntown. I've been to this grocery store throughout the years purchasing Japanese products, usually ramen, snacks, pasta sauce, and freshly made onigiri. The store has plenty of Japanese sauces, teas, snacks, noodles, condiments, and a small section of frozen foods and produce. Half of the store also has Japanese porcelain - bowls, plates, cups, etc. The staff are always super friendly and if you want to use visa there is a $10 minimum spend (which is hard not to do). Sometimes in the summer Sanko also has a clearance sale where you can get discounted Japanese porcelain for cheap (sometimes the bowls and cups have some imperfections but they are not that noticeable). Overall, my fave Japanese grocery store in the Trinity Bellwoods are! A must visit if you want to find some Japanese groceries or porcelain.

Looking to get your Korean grocery goods?…read more H-Mart is a spot we visit occasionally to stock up on Korean noodles, taiyaki, frozen snacks, fried chicken and other hot food from time-to-time. There's quite a vast selection from produce, meats & seafood to Asian drinks and hot food. Unfortunately everything is still relatively overpriced compared to other Asian groceries judging by the prices of their seafood market, hot food stand, specialty beer and even the taiyaki now. One positive is the number of sample stations now in-store. There's also a handful of food court options from BB.Q Chicken to Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu. We weren't impressed though by the cleanliness of the food court. If you're planning to have a meal, just be prepared to take a while to find parking in the busy plaza parking lot. Skip it or hit it? We will usually skip it until the next Korean food craving hits in 1-2 years unless it's something we can't get it elsewhere!

Within the…read moreaisles there's a plethora of goods from Japan, Korea, Vietnam, The Philippines, china and more. We found that the ratio of products from Asian countries other than china is significantly higher than we've seen in other Asian/Chinese grocery stores. The produce is on the right when entering the store and meat department at the back. I was on the lookout for ube but hadn't seen it at other stores. There's frozen ube in this supermarket along with lumpia and turon. The breads section is quite large and next to that is the hot foods section with bbq meats as well. There was a section near the hot foods that used be filled with books and cds but now is Petit-Chef Tang selling Chinese crepes. When comparing prices to similar stores Bestco is fairly competitive. There are plenty of cheaper items but some are more expensive. They offer curb side pickup for groceries. By the cashiers there's many baskets filled with groceries and ready for customers to take them home. The Bruno compact hot plate seems to be all the rage these days and Best Food Mart was not to be left out of selling these. They were on sale for $119 and the various plates were available as well - takoyaki plate, cupcake plate, ceramic-coated pot and ceramic-coated pot with a divider.
