It is probably best that there are not too many in this city "YET", as I find it a pleasure to not just walk, but to shop in Whole Foods. Something as simple, yet pleasant as grocery shopping always happens in this chain, from here, to the ones I've…More »

Another small business located in the First Avenue Marketplace. I think it is family run, but I must say for quality and price, you really can't beat this place.

They are a little store in the corner of the plaza that sells frozen hand made dumplings.…More »

I used to work in this area and would walk around to try to burn some time on my lunch breaks here. I have not been back in a year, and walking in again was kind of a treat to be in a very nice Korean market. Do not think of this as a T & T…More »

If your preparing hot pot at home, or at someone's home, this is probably one of the places, if you live in the area, to come and visit, as they have most of your meat needs dealt with. For vegatables, you got to go somewhere else.

Located upstairs in…More »

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…More »

I live around this area, and this is probably one of my favorite places to go and buy groceries. Back in the day this location used to be a Safeway, and then T & T came to my neighborhood, and everytime I go in there, I can somehow figure out what to…More »

  12/8/2011

As in my other reviews of the Superstore chain of stores, I am usually not a fan, due to the 'zoo' like nature of the outfit. From the messy parking lot, to the unorderly ordeal of going into the store, but this one is different. More organized,…More »

I just wanted to pick up one item and go through the self checkout line! And somehow the other line-ups with 'humans' working were going much quicker. I know many other places (ie. Safeway) have this thing, maybe not to perfection, but way better…More »

You don't get many options of organic food products in Richmond, in terms of spices, and cooking ingredients, so where do you go, here of course. I was sent out on a mission from my partner to get some chili powder, cayenne pepper powder, and I…More »

One of those little Chinese supermarkets that has been around, and survived the ever so 'swarmed' Richmond epicentre by the big bad T&T/Osaka entrance of dominance. This little place in the corner of Continental Square has some good produce here. As…More »

A Chinese supermarket in Park Royal, who would have thunk it? Then when I saw the advertisement at the T&T location near my hood (1st and Renfrew) I was like, ok, that would be a cool idea, where they going to put this? Well it is on the South side…More »
