Morning To Midnight

Cute little asian grocery store with your essential asian groceries and a small selection of ready foods (that go on sale everyday at 6pm for good prices). The produce is usually pricey but the rest of it is decent

M2M is good for Asian food specialities focusing on Korean items. But its food service upstairs is the reason I come to this shop. The grocery section has food items that are rarely found anywhere else except in Korean shops. Such as Honey Butter Chips (interesting though relatively pricey). There are other food items like ready to cook Korean dishes and ready to eat prepared food, for example gimbap, which most non-Koreans would call a sushi roll. There is a selection of more day to day veggies and fruits but it costs more than at No Frills. But if you are there around lunch time then walk up the stairs beside the cashiers to the food service counter (M2M Deli, K2GO) and say hello to the friendly ladies. The available items are on posters and TV screens. The prices (most around $8) are reasonable for the portion sizes and the dishes make for satisfying meals. I tend to order Pork Donkatsu, which with the crispy pork and tangy sauce is not too far off from way more expensive sit down places. I get a tiny bit of kimchee, some salad, glass noodles and soup with it. My second choice is Beef Bulgogi. There is very limited seating up there (maybe 4 seats along the counter and sometimes 2 at a little table) so take out is probably a good idea (although they do have a water cooler). And sitting outside enjoying your meal on a nice summer day is better than inside at McD's. Update February 2019: There are updated screens showing the current selection of dishes and some new ones have been added. You can still get a reasonably sized and tasty meal for $8 which is amongst the lowest price you can find find for a lunch beyond pizza slices and sandwiches (unless you have a McD coupon). There's only seating along the counter now, so let's say hello if we end up seated next to each other. ☺

Great store, that has a surprisingly wide variety of products for such a small space. They also sell prepared food for the go, including some pastries and sandwiches from neighboring bakeries and restaurants. Which I thought is a really cool idea. I do think the prices are a bit higher than if you go to a less "fashionable" Asian grocery store off the main street, but this place is definitely convenient and has a nice atmosphere. The cashiers I've met were all very friendly and kind.

Why are korean supermarkets so awesome???? This one is a little smaller but they still have a variety of things to buy. Upstairs they have the famous bbq chicken and other korean street food. A little hidden gem here.

Great place for a quick shop for Asian/Korean items, also has a hot food service upstairs. I give them 7.5/10!
