Place was clean, and all the produce was fresh (and cheap)! Staff were helpful, and they had lots of stuff that you cant find in the regular supermarkets.
This shop is small but has almost everything except meat, and it’s located in an extremely convenient spot, especially for new international students.
They offer a wide range of products, including vegetables, fruits, fresh goods, spices, nuts, rice, oil, and various food items from Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican cuisines. You can find essential seasonings like soy sauce, Kewpie mayonnaise, black vinegar, and different types of sauces (醬), as well as instant noodles. They also stock daily necessities such as garbage bags, dishwashing liquid, and sponges.
As you settle in and become more familiar with the area, you may start visiting other shops for higher quality or better deals on specific items. However, when you’re busy with assignments, you’ll likely find yourself repeatedly returning to this shop due to its convenience.
There are a few things to watch out for. You’ll notice a lot of fruits and vegetables displayed outside the shop at very competitive prices. In my experience, many of these items tend to be overripe, partly spoiled, or even moldy. It’s up to you to decide whether the bargain is worth it.
Another point to consider is the condition of their samosas. They sell these tasty snacks near the checkout counters, but the quality varies day to day. If you want the best samosas, it’s better to buy them when the shop is managed by an experienced older lady, who seems to ensure better quality control.

Great shop 👌 affordable good selection friendly staff.
This is my favorite Vege sore in Hamilton. It's a bit far from where I live but we'll worth the drive!
This shop is a gem! Their variety of top-notch, fresh produce is unmatched. The staff is helpful, and the store's vibrant atmosphere adds to the overall experience. Reasonable prices and convenient options like pre-packaged salads make it my go-to spot for quality ingredients. Highly recommend!
Way more than just cheap fruit and veg here, plenty of yummy things that are hard to find elsewhere too and the prices are great on the fresh produce. Hard to beat. Highly recommended
Always like shopping 🛒 here. Affordable prices for not only fresh fruit and vegetables, but also grocery items.
