Before T&T rolled around, I hated going to Chinese grocery stores. They generally don't look the most inviting and compared to western grocers, looked filthier.
Although T&T charges a bit of a premium compared to discount Chinese grocers, I enjoy my shopping experience much more. For nagging husbands and disinterested kids, they can take a stroll over to the prepared foods section and keep busy munching while you shop - there's something here for everyone.
From the bakery, to the sushi section, to the prepared foods section - its even a great place to grab lunch on the cheap.
I like the tidiness and the way aisles are clearly labeled and marked. And for those of you with traditional mother-in-laws who think that a woman ought to know how to cook (and in the Chinese culture, make a good soup), you can fool her with the prepared soup kits that include all the ingredients needed to win your gold stars.
Although I think that this location is weirdly placed (how many Asians live in the Distillery/beaches?) it is a very welcome addition and parking is plentiful and free.
