| - Don't expect the same thing as the Yonge/Steeles (or other location) as Oakville is much smaller AND only open 'til midnight. That's still pretty impressive for a part of the city which is basically dead past 8pm!
No: in-house bakery, soft serve machine, café, surrounding restaurants, or extra frills.
This particular location reminds me of a newer yet squishier version of PAT, west on Dundas in Mississauga. What I did not like about this location, and it's evident when you walk in, is that they put their excess produce/merchandise alongside where the items are displayed. So there'll be boxes of green bananas right in the middle of the aisle. Why? White grocery stores don't do this, UNLESS they're actually restocking their shelves, and once they're done replenishing, they remove the boxes off the sales floor.
To me, this seems like they have no standard to maintain specific aisle width. It's difficult to navigate around an area with a buggy, if it's crowded, and it can be a potential fire hazard.
The cash registers are also very close to the entrance/exit area, so the front of the shopping area, near produce/cash/dine in spots are VERY COLD when there's a steady flow of shoppers.
Highlights? You can buy pre-packaged bachans for 4/$10, pork bone soup in a plastic container for $7, and other pre-made foods. It's also not very busy, so great place if you don't like crowds!
Prices can be higher than other Asian grocery stores, especially when there's a specific sale, so shop around! It is new and clean though.
