King's Market — Attraction in Burnaby

Been here twice only. The store is separated into 3 sections.

Produce Meat and frozen/hot pot items Misc foods (a tofu dessert stand here) and the Cashier(s)

Its only OK to me because the tiles on the floor are really slippery. My husband's really flexible but he slipped into a watermelon box (those big ones) and hit his groin... 🤦🏻‍♀️🥺. So please be super careful when /if you're here.

The 2 or 3 cash registers are at the 3rd section of the store. But for such a large store, they don't open all cash registers. When we were there, 2 cashiers were opened. We waited in line to pay for like... 15-20 min? Thats a long time... imagine waiting 15 min in line at superstore... there would be an uproar for sure!

And worst of all, we felt quite unsafe during our line up. It was very cramped, and people lining up felt the need to line up very close for some reason. We ended up trailing our grocery basket behind us so the person behind can...

My 2nd review ever! King's Market has become my favourite local supermarket. The have a broad selection of Asian grocery items, produce, and fresh and frozen meats and fish. And their prices are good.

They came on the scene a few years ago and because they are within walking distance, I find myself now frequently going over to pickup ingredients on a moment's notice simply because an Internet recipe intrigued me. Previously, I might have had to drive or bike to a huge super "store" at the mall.

I won't deduct a star for this, but sometimes, due to language issues it is a little difficult to get a question answered. If English is your only language be prepared to be patient. They have staff that speak great English too so it's not a big deal. Perhaps find a nearby Chinese customer and ask them to translate!

It's a nice place to shop and locally owned...

Great selection of veggies and other Chinese veggies and foods that this whiteboy from Van knows nothing about! First there was no signs saying where the entrance is and I walked around the building only to have to walk back as there is a fence in the alley(it was snowing and no entrance in the front and sidewalk was not shoveled) I went in just to get ginger some broccoli and went to pay with debit and was told 5$ minimum which I have no problem with...if there was a sign saying this! Which there was not! So I explained it was my first time and next time I will follow this rule but the lady just stared and said "5$ dollar minimum " And because the line was quite long I just left with nothing! Why...
