T & T Supermarket

Busy and popular Asian supermarket on Calgary Trail. Has a good selection of Asian products especially ingredients and stuff for Chinese cooking. For a supermarket they have a pretty good selection of Chinese bakery items, cooked foods, barbecue meats and sushi. During peak hours, the parking lot will be a mess and the store very crowded, not for the faint of heart. Best times for general shopping are before 11:30am and after 6pm. However, if you’re after the best selection of bakery and prepared food you’ll just have to fight the afternoon crowds. An hour or so before closing they discount any remaining packages of sushi.

First time at the Southside location after frequenting the West End one, and it was impressive. A fantastic specialty store for all things Asian—from noodles and sauces to meats and fresh produce. They also offer a great selection of hot and cold ready-to-eat items, which is perfect for a quick bite. The only caveat is there’s no dine-in area, so we ate in the car—but honestly, that was fine. The store is big, bright, clean, and well-organized, you can even order online and pickup. Great experience overall.

Really good place, you can buy there anything you can imagine, from meat and baked goods to exotic fruits and beauty products . Huge range of choice. The only thing I can mention is quantity of people in there, a lot of crowds so sometimes it’s quite hard to walk in there.

Staff are rude, nobody can communicate in English, pallets are always everywhere getting in the way, and it’s always dirty here. They treat you like you’re about to steal at the makeup section, but can’t be bothered to clean it up a bit. Makeup everywhere, boxes strewn all over, and with places like Kiokii& which is tidy and beautiful why bother going here?nnBut today was the last straw. I had a really uncomfortable experience at this store. I picked up an empty shopping cart that was left unattended near the washroom -no one was around, and it looked abandoned. After using it for about 10 minutes, a man came up to me and said it was his. I immediately apologized and gave it back, no problem.nnBut then a worker came over and started questioning me in broken English about the cart.Then another employee came over and they started talking to each other in Chinese right in front of me, which made the whole situation feel even more alienating and uncomfortable.nnI tried to be polite and clear, but I left the store without buying anything, feeling awkward and embarrassed. All over a cart I took by accident and returned right away. For the amount of money I spend here every month this was very poor handling of a minor situation and I won’t be back.

This is a review of the hot + sour soup from the deli.nThis soup used to be offered with shrimp in it. It's not anymore and I miss that. But going forward, I have still gotten the soup because it's the hot + sour that I like and honestly, I haven't had it with shrimp in it anywhere before - it was a pleasant surprise. Putting that aside, a while ago when I tried it, it tasted like tomato sauce, not soup. But, in all fairness, I had to try it again... and this time it was more like a salt lick than a soup. There isn't any consistency anymore. Do I try it a third time? I think not. Darn.
