289 Asian Supermarket — Local services in Melbourne

I believe the name of this entity is "289 Asian Supermarket" rather than Asian Supermarket. I went into the shop after noticing it on the highway and it looks like that they are about to start trading but not officially opened.

It appears that they have a number of items that from many different Asian Nations, Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, South East Asian etc.

The first thing I look for is value for money and it appears that they are slightly above the others especially when you compare to their larger competitor that starts with "K".

Despite my lower score as that I found the items higher, I may return as they have an item that I am unable to find in other Asian Grocery stores especially my first Asian Grocery store I entered back in 1995, and I am happy with that.

Although I am giving this a 3 star, it is really a 2¼ to 2½ however the store was clean despite it has not opened and I will earnestly wish them well in the future as I will come back to...

It is eye opening going through isles with so many brands of Asian snacks, rackers, chips, and desserts. Near the checkout is a chest freezer stocking some interesting icecream.

Many staff speak Mandarin only, and it can be a bit of problem if non-Manarin speaking customer cannot find certain product and...

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience at this market. The advertising and marketing tactics used by the business are highly deceptive, leading customers to believe in false promises and benefits. I visited the store enticed by the advertised promotions, only to find out that there was no clear information regarding the specific items included in the offer. To make matters worse, when I attempted to redeem the supposed discount, I was informed that my purchase did not meet the required conditions for eligibility. This lack of transparency is unacceptable and leaves customers feeling cheated and misled. It is crucial for businesses to be honest and upfront about their promotions, ensuring customers have accurate information before...
