Don 88 Asian Grocery

I'm giving 5 stars for the sole reason that this place has given me a great story. While spending a few weeks in the area a friend and I decided to go into this store the other day out of curiosity, as had been walking past this place every day but never went inside. Upon entering the one employee working that day was sitting on the floor facing a shelf with a saxophone in his lap. The first thing he said was "Why am I sitting on the floor? It's such a nice day outside!" I immediately sensed that my former manager would have highly disproved of his customer service approach. While browsing through the aisles of canned coconut milk and noodles he kept repeating to himself "3 more weeks! 3 more weeks!" When we made it back to the front area of the store he was now standing up with the saxophone and said "3 more weeks until Canada 150! I'm gonna play this thing!" while holding up his saxophone. At this point we had seen enough and didn't want to spend any more time with this guy, so we politely exited the store and as we did this he commented "you didn't buy anything?" Unfortunately he did not play a single note on his sax but I will be thinking of him on Canada Day.

Don 88 is the best Asian grocery in Halifax. Not only that but for students on campus looking for some good food, just ask for dumplings or noodles and they will make it fresh on the spot. Don't sleep on this place dal peeps

Very rude to their customers. Food is always expired and the store is filthy with mice. The guy at the store likes to play his saxophone a lot but maybe he should consider actually running the business properly instead.
