Older lady cashier in the middle lane will NEVER allow you to put your items inside your bag until she done with all of you items (because she thinks you will steal). Talk about a control freak. Also they allow their own staff to cut lines no matter how long the lines are, they just don’t care. “I’m staff, I work here, so I go first”. Lastly they charged me twice for the same item. CHECK YO RECEIPTS BRO!!!!
Best prices for produce in downtown Toronto. Been shopping here since I was a child. The shop front hasn't changed much. The prices haven't spiked compared to the bigger chains like Loblaws and whatnot. Their cashiers are super quick, but I recommend visiting here on weekdays if possible. On the weekend it's BUSY.
The other day we were able to spend under $25 for 3 bags of clementine, 1 lettuce, 2 stalks of carrot, 3 lemons, 4 potatoes, a bag of onions, 1 cucumber, 1 bag of Bok Choy/lettuce, box of cherry tomatoes. It's hard to beat that.

Decent selection and fair prices. The fish section could use some cleaning up though.
Some of the registers take Amex (but not all of them for some reason), identified by the signs that say "Visa/Debit Only" or "Any credit/debit).

ya'll tripping if you don't think kai wei isnt the best deal in town. this place is inflation proof
I was very disappointed tonight. I went there to purchase two bags of seaweed which in each bag has 10 seaweed packs. The prices definitely have gone up but not what I was upset about. They listed the prices on each bag as $4.99 and the signage on the wall also said $4.99. This kind of product they usually don’t tax on and if they did it wouldn’t be that much more.
I was happy with the price but once I reached the cashier they said no it’s not the correct price. The sales clerk put the wrong prices which wasn’t true. I came and purchased this product many times. They even corrected it on their system when I came the first time. The second time it was the same thing charging me more $6.77 but the cashier was the same person and she only charged me $5.
Today I was charged again for $6.77. It was one of the cashiers that was there the first time and she said it’s not the correct price that the salesclerk made a mistake it’s actually $6.77. I told her the signage and on the package says $4.99. She was so mean and decided to speak to my mom in English when we were speaking Chinese. She said “do you want to buy it or not”.
We decided to pass up on the product. It has been over a month that the product has been listed as $4.99. I bet if I go there again tomorrow the price sign will still be the same but they will charge depending on the person which isn’t fair and is unkind.
Please be careful on your purchases because the prices could be changed for no reason once you cash out.
**photos were taken the next day. Nov 30th and guess what it still says $4.99 and it has been restocked full and each individual package has the price of $4.99 as well.

I bought this lemon tea at this shop yesterday, it has a very awful plastic smell. I tried preparing a cup to drink and I wasn't surprised how it turned out. 🤮🤮🤮 It says it was made in Korea but I highly doubt it!
I've been drinking this kind of tea since I was in HK and I was so disappointed finding a bad one in this shop! This bottle is definitely going to the garbage!

Good selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, seafood & and meats. Limited to none non-Asian pantry items, such as soups, etc.
Great store. Good prices for fruit, vegetables, meat, and fish - they have a butcher and fish counter. Check out is pretty quick. Good selection of spices.
Great supermarket for fresh vegetable at good price. Always fresh especially green leafy veges.
TERRIBLE costumer service, cashier was great, but the seafood guy was aggressive with me and my friends mom. He refused to help us pick a crab and started yelling at us when we kindly asked to purchase two. Even the cashier agreed that he was aggressive. Boooooo.
Nice place to shop, fish,chicken,fruits & vegetables. Prices are affordable & competitive.

Highway 7, Markham, ON
Your delivery driver is wreckless, and impatient. One of the worst I've seen in years.
I watched him for blocks, weaving from lane to lane, tailgating and speeding, and honking at anyone he thought was in his way.

Good selection of fruits, vegetables, meats and spices, but is not always fresh nor does it taste good. Nice that they still don't charge for bags and open almost everyday, including holidays.
Fairly good supermarket but not well organized. Very confusing cashier lineups. Not enough cashiers to manage long lineups of customers on a weekend.
Has a great variety of reasonably priced plants and flowers.

They're all really friendly. For having a fish market inside it doesn't overtake the scent of the store. Wide variety of ramen and drinks. Produce is all fresh and is definitely reasonably priced.
Good but not the best. They have wide selection of fresh fruits, veggies, frozen and fresh meat and fish. Lots of East Asian spices and snacks. No healthy/gluten free/lactose free products. Also, the staff is not necessarily very helpful. Some of them seem a bit aloof. But this could be a reflection of their working conditions and how (not) well they are treated by the employer. Otherwise everything seems alright.
This local grocery store is popular in the neighborhood mainly for their South Asian and South East Asian grocery items. They carry fairly fresh ethnic fruits and vegetables. Their fish corner contains a lot of varieties and provides services for cut and clean. The meat corner is also fairly rich with fresh and frozen products. Overall price is competitive. Look for the expiry date before buying dairy products. Management needs to emphasize cleaning of the store and customer services. They also have fairly enough parking space
The venerable KAI WEI Supermarket on the South East side of Spadina and Dundas Streets, is a great vast emporium, showcasing outside its offerings of Western and Asian fruits and vegetables wrapping around to Grange Street, and its international supermarket wares, meats and live fish in its spacious interior, adding a Bitcoin machine for crypto-shoppers. The prices are inexpensive, the items fresh (can it be otherwise...) & the checkout super fast with a small army of razor sharp cashiers.
This supermarket has all the things you want if you're a non vegetarian. From fresh supplies to the frozen ones, you just name it. Good variety of fruits and vegetables are there as well. It is a big place and never too crowdy. It also has other grocery items like housewares and kitchenware. Chinese and Japanese cuisine items are also here. Prices are good as compared to other stores.
We like this small grocery store and everything is consistent with good quality and have confidence shop there.
Good.
One of the Chinese supermarkets in this area. Cheaper price than regular groceries store. I like it.
Diverse food, especially Asian vegetables, foods and spices. Apart from Chinese brands, I have found many Vietnamese and Korean foods here.
This is a Chinese supermarket so only about 50% of staff know English. But they're friendly.
A pity is the late opening hours (9:00 am) and early closing. Why not open an hour earlier (8:00 am) and close a little later? :)

Typical Chinese Supermarket but most of the Asian goods are available. Fresh vegetables and fruits are available economically. If you are looking for different types of Fish, this is the place to go. Downside is you won't be able to get any help since nobody speaks English, you are on your own.
Decent prices, horrible conditions inside. So many insects and bugs flying around. Some of their fresh produce is riddled with diseases and fungus, decaying away, not to mention the bugs.
Inside smells horrendous. The only reason I would go back is because of their prices. Otherwise I would never step foot back inside.
I would recommend Foody World at Kennedy Commons if you’re looking for better conditions and food in general.

It's close to home so I shop there regularly. Overall prices are ok and the store is clean. There is a variety of produce, fresh meat and sea food including live fish. I often buy a box of chicken legs with thigh attached(18kg or 40lbs). Price depends on chicken sales in that week and can range from $30.00- to regular price of $52.00.
