This is one of the several supermarkets I've been going to quite regularly whenever I'm on a grocery run in Markham and Scarborough. Since Full Fresh, Winco, and T&T are nearby, I don't usually fulfill all of my grocery needs at any one of them even though FreshWay indeed, has a very wide selection of products.That said, here are my thoughts on this store:1) They are brightly lit, spacious, organized, clean, and have a modern touch to their store.2) Like many of the Chinese supermarkets these days, they have most to all of the ingredients you would need in your Chinese recipes and they also have Korean sauces and spices that can fulfill your needs for your Korean recipes (No need to go to Galleria unless you need something more than the most common sauces and spices such as Gochujang, Gochugaru, Doenjang, etc.).3) Their vegetables and fruits are usually quite fresh (with some exceptions/bad days as I have seen sprouting shallots there before). I am usually VERY VERY VERY meticulous (even this is an understatement of my "OCD" XD) when I prep and wash vegetables so the fact that their vegetables are usually fresh with minimal issues (e.g. small black or brown dots on stems or leaves, yellowing leaves, wilting leaves and stems, lesions, bugs, mud, etc.) makes my job a lot easier believe me lol! They also carry the Fuzhou bok choy (福州小白菜) (as some like to call it... some places call it something else lol) that not every Chinese supermarket carries (some of the others that do also carry them are Full Fresh, Sunfood, etc.). Other than this, they carry the typical ones that most of the other Chinese supermarkets also carry, such as Yu Choy, Gai Lan (Chinese broccoli), Shanghai bok choy, bok choy, bok choy sum, short and long napa, A choy, green leaf lettuce, watercress, Chinese cauliflower, celtuce, fuzzy melon, wintermelon, and the list goes on and on that it would not be feasible for me to list them all out lol.4) Other than the one time issue with the shallots, their aromatics (e.g. garlic, ginger, onions, green onions, galangal, etc.) are usually quite fresh. I would say that they as well as Walmart are my go to for garlic as they usually have fresher looking ones that are also sold at a cheaper price than some of the other supermarkets with worse looking garlic lol (I'm guessing it's partly due to a higher turnover?). I use a lot of garlic in my cooking so you can see why I usually have to make a stop at either Freshway or Walmart whenever I'm up in Markham lol. Even though they had that one bad batch of shallots that time, they carry the small shallots as well as the bigger ones even though many of the other supermarkets don't have such a selection. They also have a wide variety of herbs such as fresh pandan leaves, lemongrass, mint, Thai basil, thyme, oregano, etc. that are usually better quality and priced than some of the ones at Western supermarkets such as Metro, Loblaws, etc.5) They have a wide selection of meat and seafood. This includes a wide selection of whole chickens, a wide selection of frozen seafood such as turbot, black cod, grouper, mackerel, yellow croaker, etc., and a wide selection of beef as they are the only Chinese supermarket that carries Japanese and Australian Wagyu beef (at a very expensive price!). However, one of the problems is that they don't label which region the wagyu is from. I don't usually buy wagyu beef anyway so this doesn't really bother me but just giving a heads up to the people who do lol. Some of the other places (non Chinese supermarkets) that carry wagyu are J-Town and The Butcher Boutique.TL;DR - I recommend this supermarket as they carry most to all of the ingredients you would need in your Chinese recipes and even your Korean recipes. Their produce is usually fresher compared to some of the other places. If you are someone who also cares about the atmosphere of the places you shop at for groceries, rest assured that you will have a positive experience shopping here since they are brightly lit, spacious, organiz

They need to have some kind of reward program, because things are not cheap there.

Very good shopping experience. Very clean and tidy and pleasing to the eye. The location is also very convenient. Things are neatly arranged. The tallies are all young and handsome guys who work neatly and neatly. The portion size of taro is also very suitable, and you won’t feel like buying one is too much. The lettuce is cut cleanly from the front and back, making it look fresh and nice. The roots of the coriander are all cut cleanly and the price is moderate. The cashier is also very professional and young. The service is also very good, highly recommended. Lanlan's service is also very good, and they will answer all your questions in detail.

FreshWay Foodmart will be my go-to for groceries! Spacious, bright, and clean. Lots of fruits and produce, and Asian foods. I found all the southeast Asian food I needed. Came during a non-busy weeknight and had a very pleasant shopping experience. Best of all - they take amex!!!

Its just a few year old business, so the environment is still very tidy and clean, there is no unpleasant smell, aisles are wide enough, lighting is sufficient, more importantly I am happy to see the wide variety of products. Parking is horrible though, the lot is full and there are cars lining up to get in and out. I spend over 10 minutes to park my car at a far location, AND I need to carry everything I have bought from the supermarket to my car with my own hands.

Lack of brand varieties to have a choose, and relatively higher price than similar Chinese supermarkets

January 2024 update -- bring your own shopping bags.Reasonably clean and organized. Decent selection of veggies and seafood but meat section has a strange smells. Don't bother asking for help, many staff don't know where are the products, and some of the cashiers needs serious training in customer service.

+5 for taking Amex.-1 for not having their own dumplings or the Asian legend dumplings

This Chinese supermarket imports products from all over the world. They have a very wide selection of fruits and vegetables. They have all types of snacks and drinks and frozen products. Their products are all fresh and of good quality. It’s a popular Chinese supermarket and worth your visit. They also have other grocery items you may need like household items/appliances, cleaning products, cosmetics, accessories like nails and hair products. They have hats & slippers, a bread section, bakery (lots of yummy desserts) and a lot of other miscellaneous items.

Just stopped to buy some fruit. This is the first time we have been here. It is brightly lit, spacious and well stocked with lots of different fruit of good quality. The prices were reasonable. I will go again to shop again.
