A Mart (North) — Local services in Calgary

Staff are all so friendly and courteous. They all have pride in their work because this place is ultra clean. Last time I was there I even saw a worker lightly removing dust off lower surfaces, another one sweeping and cleaning.

The produce and meat have modest displays but everything they have is of very good quality. The meat they have is particularly exception in quality.

Produce prices are AWESOME. Mushroom selection is excellent. Green onions always abundant and on sale it seems.

I’m never buying a thick cut steak from a traditional grocery store again. The thin sliced, ultra marbled beef they stock is insanely delicious! Cooks in less than a minute too!

My wife loves the Korean beauty section. Cheap face masks, the lady working it is kind, gentle and helpful.

Great price on flats of eggs. Every day affordable.

The hot food section is awesome!!! Takoyaki, fried rice sticks are our two favourites.

House made kimchi is so delicious!

I could keep going on and on!

Went here for the first time last week. The crowd was ok on a Sunday at 12 noon. It got busier but was manageable after 1 pm. They have Korean items that are hard to find on other Asian stores. They have buckwheat and barley tea, yes! They also have the Yamamoto brands. The homemade kimchi is really nice, the taste is not overly acidic like other brands. The food to-go area has a good number of food choices. If I could comment on the layout, I would've liked a display of ALL available food items on the area where you actually order. We're not familiar w/ most of the soup items, so having to go back and forth to the 'order station' and the soup/kimbap station, then trying to remember all the food items I want to try, is a hassle when there's a lineup behind me. The bulgogi kimbap and assorted fish cake soup is delicious! The bubbles on my taro shake was nice and soft, you can tell the boba...

Horrible Service. I used to come here for the quality if the veggies but realized the poor, gruff service isn't worth it anymore. Let me take my dollars to another small business that appreciates customers instead. Typical arrogant Korean service similar to what you'd get in other large Koreatowns when there's enough critical mass....that gauche immigrant mentality where they feel the audacity to bring their piss poor, bad habits to new cities.

I really feel bad for local Canadians naive enough and don't understand how fundamentally horrible Koreans are and continuing to support businesses like this that only condone bad behaviour. I'm voting with my dollars and will take my...
