| - Like the other review says, this place is way out in the middle of nowhere, tucked in the back of an industrial park, and the entrance is the unmarked metal door next to the loading bays (there is a sign near the loading bays, though). Open the door and you're in a small warehouse which looks nothing like a retail operation, but rest assured they will sell direct to the public, even if the items aren't in their little aisle of unboxed goods (they'll simply open up a box and get stuff for you).
The prices are even cheaper than Chinatown supermarkets, though they carry lots of things that you simply can't get anywhere else (I came in search of Thai ice tea, which they had, along with many other things I haven't been able to find, like large containers of Massaman curry paste).
Pretty much all the products I saw were Thai, so it seemed a bit strange that the company is named after the capital of Laos, but it seems the owner was born in Laos and lived in Thailand before coming to Canada. The owner was quite helpful and friendly, and it's nice to have this resource available (though a shame these kinds of products aren't more accessible in Toronto).
