at the cash, no greetings, no hi whatsoever. it's like bunch of robots working there.i wanted to pay with visa gift card because i previously paid off with that card, cashier said no no no. i told her it will work , she rejected , then i said ok with visa, then i used the gift card and approved. when i told her i paid with visa gift card. she was so upset and called me "crazy" why i changed the card. I said it's paid in full and approved, what is your problem. they grabbed my card and checking it with receipt, and tried to keep us there waiting. that time i lost it and grabbed my card and receipt and left. bunch of stone headed robots with no knowledge and no regret.
Had the displeasure of shopping here. I walked in for ground provisions and salted cod, which Asian grocery stores stock in abundance.
Was stared at continuously like I was going to steal. Stopped outside the grocery store to show my receipt.
Basically they do not want people of colour shopping here. They think we are all thieves - and I have never stolen a thing my entire life. The way they have made me feel I don’t want others of colour to feel that way.
Horrible, racist grocery store! Poor management who follows you around the store. All I went for was casava, sweet potato, yam, and Saltfish. But had to stared at and followed around.

Ot ok price place but I find out that there meat do not look all that fresh also there producesseem also now all that fresh sometimes.. I guess that due to changes in the country it is hard to get fresh produces and meat...the liberal is killing our country and economy... soon I think our country ranking will be on par with all the third world countries.. how sad canada was one of the best country to live in but now it's the country to stay away from.... health care is really drop down to poor health programs and offers... no family doctor not a walk in family doctor practice...there seem to really lacking of it...
I went to buy minced meat because my family wants a good spaghetti sauce . We were all disappointed because the minced meat has a lot of minced bones as well. Disgusting
Foody is great and cleaning. I love its bakery, fruit, vegetable, cooked food. It packs meat in about 10-12$ value in a single pack so a bit inconvenient for single person (Nofrill normally packs smaller about 5$/pack), however you can ask employee here to weight specifically. Overall is good.
I have been to this store twice when metro was on strike and let me tell you, I was met with weirdness I would honestly chalk up to racism each time ( I am a white male) . My first visit I went to the hot table and was looking what to have. The couple ahead of me ordered the general Tao’s chicken and it looked really good, so I ordered it. The couple in front of me (Asian) received a heaping portion to where the lid could barely close. I watch as mine is fished into the container and I literally receive maybe half of that. I ask the person serving me is there a larger size like the couple got in front of me. They say no, but that they were regulars so they get more. I was completely dumbfounded and lost for words. The food was good but not as good as it looked. The second time I was in the store I went to play a proline ticket at the lottery terminal. After waiting a few minutes the girl working finally acknowledged my existence and before she even lets me scan my ticket she says cash only. I said no problem I have cash. She then asks to see the cash before she allows me to scan my ticket. It was a 5 dollar ticket! I kinda shrugged it off but after I got my ticket I hung around at the front of the store to see someone else get their tickets. Shockingly no nonsense like that when the Asian customer who got their tickets next went through her. This is all I have to say on this subject, but you really aren’t welcome if you’re a Caucasian .
Good One Stop Shopping for Asian groceries. However, prices could be a little bit lower. Hot food counter is MUCH better than T&T!! Service is not great (as expected). However, food quality and pricing of prepared, hot food is good. Meat counter could benefit from a ticket system, to help serve first person first and disallow for people to jump qeues. Bakery section could stand to benefit from expanding and offering more variety. No competition around. Practically guaranteed sales, as long as quality and pricing is proper. This location is a solid SECOND choice of weekly shopping.
Disappointed with the box of brown sugar boba ice cream bar. The bars melted before, so the bar slid off the stick and we got a mess instead. How do we know how long this box was out of the fridge before being placed in the fridge? Did you have a power outage and not check your products? How does Foody World ensure their frozen products are in good condition and does not sell items like this? I would never buy ice cream products from there again.
I have been shopping at Al Premium for years and it has always been my go-to grocery store. The selection of fresh produce is always top-notch and the quality of the meat and dairy products is unmatched. The store is always clean and well-organized, making it a pleasure to shop there.
However, I have noticed that the prices of food at Al Premium have been steadily increasing over the past few months. While I understand that prices of goods can fluctuate, the constant price hikes are starting to become a concern. Despite this, I will continue to shop at Al Premium because of the overall high quality of their products and excellent customer service. However, I do hope that they will consider keeping their prices more stable in the future.

Reasonably priced Oriental grocery store in north Scarborough. Many items at regular prices are cheaper than other nearby grocers who have same items on sale.
Decent variety of produce, meat, seafood, pantry, bakery, prepared foods and household items.
Decor is a bit dated, but it's surprisingly clean for its age. The grocery store doesn't have any meat nor seafood smell.

Not a good experience. First of all, they put the wrong price on their items. You will be shocked at the cashier because the price is double from what is showing on the shelves. Second, they dont speak English, you have to repeat yourself over and over plus you won't know what they were talking about since they are talking in their own language while giving you a nasty stare. I will for sure not come back in this place and will not recommend it to my family and friends. If only there is an option to give them 0 star, i will do it in a heartbeat.
The meat slices are quite large, but we only need a small amount. Unfortunately, we couldn't find the same product in the pre-packaged fridge section. This led us to the deli section, where all the meat was pre-packaged in similar amounts. We weren't given the option to choose how many pounds of meat we wanted; instead, they asked us to pick from what was available and packed it in a plastic bag. This process wasn't very helpful for our needs.
I'm consistently impressed with their wide variety of products. The aisles are well-organized, making it easy to find what I need. The fresh produce section is always stocked with high-quality fruits and vegetables, and their meat and seafood selection is excellent as well.
This was the original location of a group of Chinese supermarkets that span the east GTA. Compared to its newer brethren, this location is rather cramped and untidy and always changing its layout, although the signage was recently updated. It,, fortunately has all the key offerings for supermarkets of its kind, though I feel it would benefit from a major refresh.
Huge variety of Chinese and Japanese products. Prices are good too and they open until 12 midnight.
Love shopping at this particular Asian grocery store because of it's cleanliness and variety of products available. Only downside to this place is the pre-made food at the counter which I found wasn't very good. Staff there is also not very friendly and seems to like shouting at customers rudely which I did not appreciate. Most of the cashiers do not interact with customers with the basic "hi" and "thank you" which I did not like. Wished they would up their customer service just a little bit so that I can give them 5 stars.
Was very surprised by the variety of fresh produce, meats, and cookies/sweets they have here. Also much cheaper than downtown Toronto for the exact same things. Recommend going here
Came here for the first time today, it was fantastic!
I find the Asian store near me does not have bananas, this place did. Store was super clean and, everything you need was there. I especially loved the food court area. It reminds me of the T&T that was once on Cherrys street, but better pricing and a nicer seating area.
There were only a couple of cashiers on duty, so check out took a bit of time and, if you want food court items you needed to use the main cash… the food was cold by the time I got to eat it. I’ll be back though!

Foody World is an Asian supermarket where you can find all sorts of neat stuff.
One of the first things you notice when you walk in is how big the place is. There are aisles and aisles of food from different parts of Asia. If you’re looking for something special or just want to try something new, you’re likely to find it here.
There’s a section with all kinds of snacks. Whether you’re into sweet or salty, you’ll find a wide variety of Asian snacks that can be a fun change from the usual chips and candy.
In conclusion, if you’re interested in Asian food or just like trying new things, you should definitely give it a visit. You might discover some new favorite foods.

Very big supermarket that has all the ingredients you need. I got their end of the day sushi tray for $16.99 from $19.99 and it was ok. Probably wouldn't get it again, but I'd be interested in trying their hot table foods.
Would recommend and come back for groceries.

Not so cheap as it used to be, but I can't really complain since most if not all groceries has gone up since we had the Pandemic in late 2019.
The fish section is not that great and the workers are not helpful. Other than that it is a typical Chinese grocery store.

service is terrible here. i am was trying to suggest something but they do not know what the word suggestion means. i know this is asian store but to be able to work in customer service they should know what the word suggestion means. they were pressuring me to pay they are quite rude customer service is brushing me off to go a cashier instead when a cashier is not the one to talk to customer service to help. i will not give them anymore business they service is bad it will take my busines elsewere i told them. other people are displeased with this store's service too.
Most patrons come here to purchase fruits. Not the highest quality fruits, but they have great variety. Our family is not fan of their meat, vegetables, hot food table, bakery, sushi department items as we feel the quality is not the best. This Asian supermarket does carry all the pantry items for your cooking/eating needs.
This grocery store carries Japanese Royce chocolates and Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory biscuits.
Be prepared for a lineup to cash out.

This store is really gross. ive seen the ppl at the meat couturier spiting on the floor where they stand. They have smokes right out side the entrance while spitting on the floors again. They are nothing but prevrets they always have something to say in a different language when a women comes around. I asked another woman who understood them but she wouldnt tell my wife what they said. The prices are way to high as well
Update - I changed to 1 star. We bought an ice cream box today. We came back home and I was about to place it in my refrigerator, but I felt it’s kinda empty when I grab the upper part of the box… then it’s really already half gone when I opened. I don’t know if someone ate or melted and spilled at the store… but we were very shocked. Since I bought an expired product there before, I have considered that the store does not keep products in safe and fresh. Very waste of money….I will never come back again.
Veggies, fruits and meats look fresh especially we love their meats! I bought a snack package and found out it’s expired one, also another package doesn’t show the expire date…very suspicious. I recommend that you MUST check expiration before you purchase but, over all, we still like this super market.

Our New Favourite Chinese Supermarket In Toronto
I am a resident in Ottawa and whenever my wife and I come to visit our daughter (and other relatives) in Toronto we ALWAYS stop by this place. It have been a few years now but haven't reviewed the place. Excellent bargains, excellent variety of Asian goods, and prices for the fresh vegetables & meats are descent at best. The only little complaint I have is the cleanliness which could be improved. We'll always come here whenever we visit Toronto.

Asian supermarket store. Bring your bag they started charging 0.05 cents. A lot of discount after 6:00pm. Free parking available.
It’s clean and spacious with multiple items sale here. Well, i dropped by earlier today and bought this rice noodle with beef. I was speechless that around 1/3 of dish is onion, chopped into big pieces. Maybe it was not the lunch time yet, chef just randomly cooked this dish, and wanted to get rid of leftover onion first, besides some noodles just stuck together:(((
Anyway, bad experience for this noodle, not well cooked with heart.

Entering this grocery store is a bit like traveling to Asia. So different from other grocery stores with special products. Good prices. I loved it.
One of the biggest Asian grocery stores that I have been to in Toronto. One could find most of the Indian and other continental vegetables and fruits in this place and all the groceries necessary for everyday cooking. I loved how fresh the veggies and fruits were. I loved specifically the baby spinach freshness, packaging and the taste❤️ Must visit place. Keep up the great customer experience!
Very nice grocery store. I think its a best in Toronto. There is a lot of asian stuff available. The best sushi its here, prices are also good! Highly recommended! I will come back 5*
A very clean and high-end asian supermarket. Always has fresh vegetables and fruit. I love the cakes too
Foody Mart, Bamburgh Circle, Scarborough, ON
First time to this supermarket, I was very impressed. This is located at the Bamburgh circle plaza (south of Steeles Ave on Warden). The market is big and bright. It has produce department, cooked food area, seafood counter, raw meat section, Bakery, dairy products. dry food, canned food…etc. The prices are good there. It has a big dept selling beauty items. I really enjoy shopping there.

Great place to shop for fresh fruits and vegetables. Clean and quick service. The store is well stocked and priced fairly. Seasonal tropical fruits like guava, papaya, rambutan are available too. Although this is a store aimed to cater to Chinese ethnicity, it is stocked with Indian spices, lentils, ghee, oils. The store is impeccably clean and the staff are helpful. Fresh fish and seafood is available too. The staff at the counter need to be a little more professional and slower.
Super good store! Has lots of products of different types of backgrounds. You can find lots of great foods. They sell European snacks that are not quite found everywhere!! Sales associate could be more nicer and responsible for assisting consumers other than that the store itself its pretty good. They even got a small food court that has different types of goodies!
I used to come here all the time when we lived in the area. Everything is more or less the same as before. I just don't remember it being so big. The perishables are fairly priced. When on sale, hard to beat. There always seems to be a line for the ready to eat foods. The lines for checkout are usually long. This place doesn't accept American Express.
A relatively smaller Chinese grocery store compared to the big names (Loblaws, Metro, etc.) but the size of the store is pretty big. There are many overseas products available here as well. The prices are pretty decent for some things but expensive for others. Lots of fresh seafood available here as well. Overall, a good place to pick up some things.
I had the worst experience today. I bought packaged chicken, which i get every week, and ask the employee at the meat counter to cut, but he was rude and declined my request. I asked the customer service also they didn't help either. I always cut my chicken with the employee wearing glass who is decent and helpful.
Great Asian supermarket with good fruits and Chinesevegetables selection. Lot Of delicious discounted price for food lovers.
Place is very clean 👌

Decent sized grocery store. I went for their food. 2 items with rice or noodles was $8.99. Portion size was good but the food was awful. Firstly the noodles were super salty and was not mixed properly. The chicken was somehow bitter and tasted bad. There was 3/4 pieces of beef and mostly onions. It tasted super salty and filled with soy sauce. Did not enjoy the meal at all. Very disappointed with the food quality. They just accept debit and cash.
Massive east Asian grocery complex. Anything you can imagine is here with a multitude of variety, from fresh meat, seafood and vegetables to rice and noodles, cooking sauces, coffee/tea to candy. This grocer may have the largest selection of hot and packaged ready to eat food so you are covered for the day. Bubble tea and competitive priced sushi available. Public bathrooms near takeout section.
Very well organized stock. The shelves are well stocked and the store is clean and tidy. They carry a wide range of groceries covering the east and the west. The have a large variety of fruits and vegetables which are fresh and of good quality. The display of the produce is so appealing. They also carry many household items such as pots and pans and cutlery and crockery. The associate at the checkout was so warm and helpful. I wish we had one such store in Oshawa.
This is one of the best supermarket that is clean and well-maintained and organized too. Things are available at affordable prices. Covid 19 protocol are being followed. Also, at some counters Credit cards are not allowed. Thank you:)
This Chinese grocery is not the biggest one in the surrounding, but they offer a very wide selection of goods with extremely good, low price. Very convenient location for the Chinese and Asian community. Overall space is clean and tidy, only seafood department is a bit fishy and smelly.
This specious, clean, well stuffed ethnic grocery store is a jewel in Scarborough. They have a vast selection of grocery items for local as well as a variety of ethnic communities. Their fresh vegetables and fruits section, fish section, meat section, bakery, and dairy section are all well stuffed and have lots of varieties to choose from. They have hot food counter and catering services. Price is reasonable. A must go for people who look for varieties of grocery products from all over the world.
Very nice for variety and vegetables. A bit on higher side when compared to the likes of No frills and Walmart. But specific Chinese and othrmer stuff is available. U can easily grocery shop. Also range of dishes and utensils available ia awesome.
i could almost get everything i want here. fruit, vegetable meat milk eggs....the market is very clean and organized. just parking sometimes it is a bit crowded prices are good too. i recommend this convenience market. The prices are good here.
Excellent services and fresh fruits and vegetables / groceries. Always in stocks all products. Good customer services. Parking is available easily always around. Products are reasonable priced.
Did some quick shopping in February 2019 and found that they have renovated since I have last been here. It seems brighter and cleaner overall, with improved signage and more room in the aisles than I remember. Very competitive prices and speedy cashiers too. The two lanes that access the parking lot are tight so there tend to be slowdowns when driving through them. But give it a chance if value is your priority.
Lately, FoodyMart isn't the same as it was before, the food court is made to take out, it's different (like the quality, n the price is more expensive), also they didn't give out the shopping bags (u need to bring our own or buy it like Food Basics, etc.) That I might understand, some people milking it (take extra than they shouldn't), but at least they should have gotten something to wrap the bottle with stuff like Besco. Besco used the stuff that wrapped fruit, they saved them to wrap everything that is glass (bottles). At least, they organize the store, n look clean.
Chinese style grocery. Lots of Asian and Caribbean produce and goods.
They are very crowded and busy. Large mix of patrons but majority are Asian descent. Staff communication is difficult as most don't speak English.
There is a food counter with selected items combined into meals for purchase.
Produce is usually fresh.
The seafood section is quite varied, lobster, shrimp, shellfish & a wide range of fresh and ocean fish.
However, the fish stink from the back of the store hits the shopper as they walk into the store.. needs separator like other branches.
