The prices are always cheaper than other Asian supermarket. I have one across my street but I'd rather take the bus to this one to shop for food.
The quality of the products good too, I haven't had any problems so far with the vegetables, meat products, frozen products or a variety of snacks.
The interior isn't that attractive though...but overall, this place is cheap and have a good variety of different food products you can buy :D -

4 stars because
1. I live within walking distance
2. Prices just can't be beat
3. They offer a variety of produce/frozen foods/seafood etc.
4. Fairly big and located in a plaza that offers a few other things (McDonalds, Internet cafe, Rogers, Dollarama, Beer Store etc.)
BUT, just as any other asian supermarket, the cashiers are zombies. But hey, I would be too since it's always packed! -

If T&T is your worst nightmare, this T&T (Tone Tai) is your Inception-like "kick". As Ariel notes, prices on a wide variety of items are at rock bottom. Pretty much every cash is open and they have two people working each cash. One works cash and one bags. When was the last time you saw a dedicated bagger north of the Canadian/US border?
No shopping carts but everyone uses little plastic rolling baskets. When you're buying sacks of rice and cooking for a family of 12, they might be a little problematic, but if you're a single person, they work well.
Western staples like milk aren't over priced, either.
About the only down side is the parking is a nightmare but then any T&T has parking as bad. -

The selection at this supermarket is incredible. The chili sauce aisle is something to behold. Not only are there Chinese foods, but Vietnamese and Philipino as well. There is even have a great Latin American section. A bizarre addition are products from the UK that I havent seen anywhere else.
Tone Tai isnt as clean and neat as T&T or H-Mart, but makes up for it with cheap prices. There also are no food stands.
One sad note though. They sell seal oil pills. Made from harp seals! I don't know if this is a commonly sold item, but I don't approve. -

When this place opened about 1 1/2 ago it was mobbed. They have the greatest selection of produce at the absolute best prices I have been able to find. They have all the traditional fruits and vegetables, and a fantastic selection of Asian produce. It is always fresh and being trimmed on the premises.
In terms of packaged goods, you can find every Asian condiment your heart desires, with a particular emphasis on Chinese condiments, sauces, and cooking liquids.
They have a great fresh fish store and they always have live lobster at a reasonable price (usually under $8.00). We have bought it twice and it was delicious. In addition to a huge selection of fresh fish and shellfish they have a tremendous selection of frozen seafood of all kinds.
In the meat department the prices are unbelievable! Prime rib roasts (ends with tendon) for around $ 2.00. I have tried it as a traditional roast but it was a bit on the tough side. And you have to buy it by the piece. I think that cut up and marinated as Steaks it would be awesome on the BBQ.
The checkouts are brish and efficient. The store is bright and clean, and well laid out. But be careful it is a busy place. It is our 'go to' place for our regular fruit and produce shopping forays. Visit this market and you will save money.Listed in: Specialty Foods-Ethnic…
