Review from Simon K.
12/1/2011 3 Check-ins Here
To call this market little is only seeing it from the outside. I always thought it was small, maybe because of the hoards of people This store fools you from the front, and I didn't realize for the longest time that they have another entrance on the other side. The produce is fresh here, the prices are cheap, and it really does feel like a market atmosphere as the people go at it for their groceries, and line up, sometimes a mass line up to pay the bill.
It does help their business, knowing that they are the only ones here now selling produce, with the Safeway gone (Bestbuy now), there is no other selection, but they are fair, and the prices and crowds and quality show.Listed in: My Grocery Shopping Lists.

Cheap prices with good produce, but this place failed my MysteryShop in EVERY department. On my report, which I am hired and paid to do, I could not check off ANY of the requirments of the shop. there were about 100 items and they failed each one.
I wasn't greeted or acknowledged in any way throughout in the entire 10 minutes of my shop. The floors were littered with debris and even entire fruits and vegetables were rolling around in places. I slipped on a crushed piece of rotten spinach on the floor. None of the employees wore uniforms/aprons/nametags/store tags to distinguish them from the customers. I wandered around looking obviously in need of help and even the workers working within a couple of feet didn't offer any. The cashier started scanning my items right away without looking at or speaking to me except to tell me the price. When she mumbled it and I asked "I'm sorry...? I didnt quite hear you" she glared at me and yelled TEN NINETY SEVEN!!" in a great huff.
For a little more money, I'll shop at Kins where the workers are neat and wear uniforms and nametags, jazz music plays, and everything is pretty and tidy, the floors are spotless, and you're so inspired to make fresh meals that you buy too much ...but then they help you to your car and thank you for coming.
Langley Farm doesn't deserve a cent of my hard earned money. Filthy store and unpleasant employees - no thanks.
And don't tell me it's coz they're Asian immigrants. I'm an Asian immigrant.
If the people working at McDonalds' can handle a 20-person lineup of tired, rushed, hungry, irritable people, - and do it all with good grace and a smile... don't tell me it's not possible. -

I like that this little market is right inside Lansdowne Mall where you can go shopping and then go to the grocery at the end. I come here for the fruits and veggy because they are super fresh and super cheap and lots of variety. The only down side is that because it's such as great market, there are long line ups.

If you're looking for produce in central Richmond your options are pretty much Superstore, Save-On, Kins, chinese supermarkets and Langley Farm Market. Conveniently located in Lansdowne Mall, I come here frequently to get fresh produce which I find to be some of the cheapest and freshest around.
They also have an in-house bakery (breads/desserts), a meat section, frozen seafood, basic dry goods (sauces etc), dairy, and a deli with decent prices for deli meat.
I love the idea of local produce stores in malls...its the true all in one experience! -

Very good prices for your everyday greens (and apples and lychees and cherries..) Don't expect to find anything organic, but a portion is locally grown and their quality is often better than your regular big chain grocery stores. Just be warned that the pig heads on the freezer section can unsettling.

One of the cleanest Chinese supermarkets I've seen in Richmond BC. It reminded me of whole foods store. I love how they converted their baskets with a pulley. It's a brilliant idea, wish they would do that in the states. The quality of the food we bought looked and tasted really fresh. I would definitely come back.
