Horrible experience. Was told that my support dog was not welcome and that given that he is being carried in a satchel he offers no support. Provided them with my Dr letters from the Hamilton cancer Center and nobody could be bothered to even look. They continued their none sense and went out of their way to make me feel uncomfortable. The security guard stood behind the manager randomly adding irrelevant facts that clearly he knows nothing about. I have include a picture so you can see what a nuisance me and my dog are. I should have also mentioned that on my way out I was stop my 3 different cahiers who commented on how cute and well behaved he was. I bring him to my hospital visits and I have never had an issues. Thor is a good boy and stays calm for hours at a time. He's the perfect support dog and allows me a lot of freedoms because of his emotional support.

I really like Oceans as a grocery store and for its huge variety of Asian groceries The size, variety and prices are really good
The only problem here is that none of the employees working here speak in English except for the cashiers So if ur looking for something special
Just figure out by yourself
This is a typically Asian store with most of the Asian grocery specially the Chinese Malaysian Thai and Vietnamese ones
Fruits and veggies are very very fresh and reasonably priced with again a lot of variety
Fresh fish counter can be seen here too
Besides all of the above can find plenty of fresh fruit smoothies bubble teas and a big selection of cooked food like noodles, wonton soup and cooked meat section like sweet and sour pork general Taos chicken and chilli beef which is great too
Love their bakery selection excellent fresh and great taste
A must visit for some great Asian Indian Jamaican grocery u can find almost everything from most countries specially Asian hereHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ivania L.Mississauga, ON16Apr 10, 2022

Oceans Fresh Food Market has a convenient location right by Hwy 410. I don't have Oceans Fresh Food Market in my hood.. but definitely they reminds me of T&T or Foody Mart.
Mixture of different ethnic food plus Western and Canadian offerings. There is this Deli that sells cold cuts and cheese.. that that usual for a "Oriental" grocery store.
For the cooked food, there are a lot more Vietnamese varieties. Of course the standard Dim Sums, bubble teas, sweet and sour pork.. :P There is a little area where people can just dine in.
Oceans Fresh Food Market is trying to be a supermarket for all: Jamaican, Filipino, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Canadian... so it can really be your one stop grocery shopping experience!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Candice S.Brampton, ON176572Aug 28, 2017
Love coming to Oceans. Not only do I love dinning out but I love to cook. Oceans takes care of the majority of my grocery needs.
Jerk chicken and pork are on the menu. All fresh ingredients and making it from scratch.
This location is typically busy at given point during the day/evening. So pack your patience. The tellers can be a little more friendly, hence the 4.
But I'll keep returning.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rayissa P.Toronto, ON1238Oct 26, 2011
Was here for first time today. Read reviews and agree with some.
Produce: amazing variety that I haven't seen except at St. Lawrence Market downtown. Fruits and vegetables ontarians are used to plus those from many Asian countries and India. And unique varieties like large fire plums and Vidalia onions from Georgia. A million different greens. Fruits like dragon fruit, pomegranate, persimmon, cactus pear that were at reasonable prices.
Fish: had a fish market in a separate little enclave. Reminded me of fish mongers in new York I used to shop at.
Meats: great prices on all kinds of fresh meat, huge variety. Had whole duck for $13, a big bag if chicken bones for soup for $1, 8 skinless boneless chicken thighs for $5.50. Had beef shanks, 5 different kinds of liver, pork cut in 15 different ways. Beautiful!
Prepared foods: had a hot food counter with just prepared items like har kow (steamed shrimp dumpling), shumai (steamed pork dumpling), BBQ pork buns, turnip cakes, spare ribs. Lots of goodness there.
Sauces: of all nature and spice. So amazing I'm saving it for next time as too much to look at.
Having been used to markets like this in NY and CA, it's great to have one here. Inside store design kind of reminds me of Whole Foods.
Customer service: don't expect anything extraordinary in this category. Doesn't exist here. If you can get passed that, there's great products and great prices here!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Carol G.Guelph, ON105480Feb 23, 2016
I love buying my groceries here and some delicious eats at the hot plate bar/resto especially their dim sum and bubble tea!
Their dim sum is actually pretty good considering it's not in a more reputable "restaurant", particularly their siao mai and squid tentacles (my fave in this location!).
Since they were bought over from Loblaws, I've noticed that the prices have increased a little but still fairly priced grocery items compared to other grocers and staff have become a little more polite, especially the cashiers and hot plate servers. There is still a big language barrier with stocking staff and sometimes a little attitude so you're honestly better off finding something yourself. Also, the parking lot is truly a ZOO so be careful and practice courtesy (hopefully others will follow suit... *wishful thinking*).Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bilal S.Mississauga, ON27811835495Mar 14, 2014
Its great and huge Chinese store, which has it all! you pick anything and they have it and more. I was in their to get mu spring roll fix!
Their bakery section is not bad and the service there is good. I love their spring rolls, so I have used their food section as well and although always busy they do tend to keep people moving and provide warm food. This location had a bubble team and fresh juice section as well! The also have a seating area so you can eat at the location.
Over all the place is a bit dirty but hey its because of traffic in and out of the store and as they have many sections.
The counter service could be better but then again their are quite a few customer to be checked out and usually many till are always running.
Over all I quite enjoy shopping their for few stuff here and there as not all is cheap compared to other supermarkets.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - May 9, 2016
The rating is based on my order from the Hot Food counter but quickly, the produce and selection of grocery items seems to be pretty good, on par with other large Chinese Supermarkets (ie. T&T, Bestco, etc...). The hot food is another thing though. In short, it's "marginal". I had chicken fried rice, black pepper beef, fried chicken wings and hot and sour soup. The fried rice was poor, but what you'd expect of Manchu Wok quality. The black pepper beef was tasty but lacked authenticity, not enough black pepper and too sweet for my taste. The wings were ok, of the battered type, but were a little soggy. The hot and sour soup was also mediocre, tasted watered down. T&T is the benchmark for chinese supermarket hot foods and Oceans falls way short.
