Great spot for snacks! They’ve got a wide variety of goodies, especially if you’re into Asian treats. Found some nostalgic Chinese snacks I haven’t had in ages and even picked up a few unique Japanese ones. The ice cream selection? Chef’s kiss! Perfect for a quick stop if you’re craving something fun and different.

What a great store for imported Asian snacks, drinks and cosmetics. Their items are mostly from Japan and Korea. They have Kiss Me Heroine Make mascara! My favourite mascara, and their prices are reasonable (around $20). So many cool chips and fun drinks. The store is clean and neatly organized. Staff are friendly.

Tons of Japanese and Korean snacks, frozen food, sweets, and other food items! I was on a break for first aid training across the street, and had an appointment right after. But definitely need to come back and try some of the frozen items. Some products I’d never seen before: frozen okonomoyaki, pre made yang-nyeom chicken sauce, Hokkaido cream waffles, etc. Super bright too. Large selection of Japanese kit-kats and Oreos.
