| - 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!
