T&T Supermarket

Best takeout. Cheap ready made meals. Check the flyer for great deals.
T and t is my go to place for a quick no hassles cheap meal. Its served cafeteria style in easy packed to go and eat at home. Sometimes if i dont want the mess ill eat inside in the seating area.
My favourites are the dim sum trays and the barbacue section. They often hold specials like buy 2 get one free. So ask the staff or tead the signs above. I personally like all the deep fried stuff like shrimp, spring rolls, green onion cakes. But the steamed dumplings, chicken feet and sticky rice are all really great. Its like going for dim sum without the wait or frills of tipping. Its budget friendly too. A good meal for 2 is never more than $ 20.
They also have great fresh barbacue. Duck sausage or pork. Theres always something available and its an easy way to supplement a meal. Cant cook and settling for instant noodles. Just add some barbacue duck and you got yourself s gourmet meal. Simple and fast. I always have barbacue available in my fridge.
They also have great chinese takeout dishes. My favourites being the lamb stew or curried squid. But theres combinations for everyone there.
another fast food that they have ready made is their assortment of sashimi and sushi. Great quality fresh and ready to eat. The only downside is that they use a low quality prepackaged wasabi here. But i have found some of their rolls are better or comparable than most sushi joints in edmonton!
Grocery wise. Theres alot of asian goods available here which u cant get anywhere rlse in edmonton. Japanese, korean, malaysian, filipino and vietnanese. Most of the items are stuff you would find in an grocery store in asia. They also have a wide assortment of baked specialty goods like goldilocks goods which are only flown to edmonton since the only bakeries are in vancouver or las vegas.
The best deals are in the butcher shop. They have all sorts of meats or seafood available. Just ask. Bc if u cant find it. Ita there somewhere! Prices are always cheaper than typical grocery stores. Watch out for their weekly specials that can save you alot!
I frequent t and t alot. And even if i go in for a quick meal. I always end up with a bag full of groceries as well.

I work down the street, and I used to come here all the time for the food they cook. Nope, not anymore. I don’t buy anything here unless it is packaged or shipped in. It seems like they are really lacking in terms of sanitary and safe food practices. Yeah the food is freaking delicious, but I don’t trust it anymore.
I’ve seen the cooks cough into their bare (and also gloved) hands and continue on to touch food without washing them. They also smoke out back wearing the clothing that they cook in, which is super unpleasant and off putting. I find a lot of the servers/​cooks are also generally very unpleasant towards me when I go in there. The food is yum, but I really would rather not get sick eating it. Yikes.

In a hurry and came up to a lady worker just walking around for help. Needed to find some hair gel, asked where it would be so that I would save time
I swear, every T&T worker’s go-​to line goes like this.
«Sorry, I don’t speak English»
get outta here.
If it wasn’t for the delicious food, i would’ve given this place a 1 star, & if possible, absolutely nothing.

This place is decent for fruits, veggies, some grains, and international snacks. The food court is also alright but it really depends on the time of day. Every time I go here I always see and smell rotten meat (beef, pork and fish), so i would never trust the meat from this place. The aisles are small, and if its busy people tend to be pushy and inconsiderate. If you know when the down times are, then try to plan your visit around then. Its bad enough that the parking lot for this shopping centre is always chaotic, so there is a good chance you won’t get a break from that once you get inside.

I decided to try the BBQ pork since it’s convenient compared to driving to china town.
I immediately regret the decision when I opened the box. There was no sauce and the slices were thick which brought out the dryness of the bbq pork.
The pastries and other selection is great but definitely not the bbq meat.

Good take out selection. Parking is bad as expected. Staff are friendly

The food here is amazing! The first day we arrived in Canada we bought 5 BBQ Pork buns. It reminds me of a Manapua but wayyyy better! The second day we went back to T&T and bought 35 BBQ buns, because they are really that good! Third day here and we went to T&T again. We got the best Orange chicken I’ve ever had, Soup, and an good Eggplant dish as a buy 1 get 1 free deal. So cheap and so good. I know we will be back a few more times before we leave here. I’m also planning to take home a bunch of the BBQ Pork Buns.
Some of the staff here are not that friendly or helpful. My brother in law kept asking for duck and pork but kept getting ignored. He was finally able to get help from a lady who had to ask the same man for the meat. The man then provided my brother in law with the meat and a grouchy face.
My husband ordered some noodles and the lady who was helping him wasn’t able to concentrate on giving him the noodles. While trying to pack the noodles she would stop so she could talk and laugh with her coworker. I was waiting for him near the checkout and then found out later the reason why it was taking so long to just get noodles.
Remember to bring your shopping bag because they charge .4 cents per. The cashier will ask you if you want a bag and won’t tell you that they are charging you for it.
The 4 stars are strictly based on the delicious food here. The service so far has been 1 star.

Though Lucky Supermarket is closer to me and I do like going there, I find that their bakery does not compare to T&T’s, who have much more Chinese bakery goods.
If I don’t feel like making the trek down to China Town, then will hit up T&T for some baked goods, my fave being the egg tarts. But you will find many other things like BBQ pork buns, cream or sweet paste filled buns etc.
Like Lucky, they too have hot food (including dim sum) for take out here. I’ve never tried any, so can’t say how it is.
If you want to avoid the crowds, then I would recommend going very early in the day, or avoid going on the weekends, especially Sunday (for some reason us Asians seem to love grocery shopping on that day ha).

T & T remains my family’s go to all purpose market for Asian goodness! From hot BBQ pork to warm baked egg tarts, they’ve got it all. If you’ve never tried a warm egg tart, get in your car and go NOW!
My kids love driving the little hand carts around and picking out a treat (usually one of the Pocky varieties).
I love the variety of miso pastes, curries, and tofus. Also, this is one of the best place to come for large packages of herbs like basil! You’ll pay ¼ of the price of a Sobeys or Safeway.
You can snag some great deals here but you can also pay way too much so you need to know your comparable price points. The worst thing about this market is the ridiculous parking lot. Be wary and watch out for crazy drivers and parking spots tighter than your pants after Xmas dinner!
See you soon, T & T!

Close to our work area and combination lunch are cheap, $ 7.49 two items and 8.49 three items including rice and free soup.

Prices are usually cheaper than competing grocery stores. Produce is always fresh, meat and seafood department have a great selection but be warned, it is not for the faint of heart. Here you will regularly find items that may not be common to most people such as turtle, and bat to name a few. The West End location has a medicinal herb selection that can also get very stinky, that the Northside location does not.
I cannot stress enough the huge selection of Asian products at TNT, I’m Asian and have no idea what half the items are in the store! There are two whole aisles dedicated just to sauce. You will never find so many variations of soya, miso and fish sauce, than you will at a TNT Supermarket. There is even a whole aisle dedicated to ramen!
TNT has all kinds of Asian products unlike other stores which are usually specific to a certain ethnicity. At TNT products range from Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Pilipino, etc.
TNT Supermarket also has a bakery which has many delicious pastries and sweets. The cocktail wiener and coconut bun are my favorites because the bread is sweet! Also they have an awesome assortment of cute and creative cakes, that are also super YUMMY! Light, fluffy filled with fruit and custard! These cakes are available in the shapes of panda bears or cartoon characters and are great for kids!
Also there are many pre-​packaged items such as noodle bowls, sushi, dimsum –to go items and rice bowls, etc if you need to run in and grab something for lunch, at pretty reasonable prices.
Another alternative is the fresh daily made dim sum they offer, that is hot and ready to go. There is a seating area to eat your food if you want to eat it right away instead of taking it to go!
Agreed with other Unilocalers: PARKING SUCKS! This place can get super busy and chaotic.

My go-​to for any asian-​related grocery items. I try and make it here at least once/​month to stock up on essentials at home. I find their prices slightly higher than shopping in Chinatown for similar items, but then again the store is clean, usually well stocked and if I have to pay a little more for that luxury then so be it! Their baked goods selection is pretty large and you can always find something to suit anyone’s taste. The parking situation in Northtown can be precarious at times, especially during the weekend, so try to avoid it during those days or just park far out and walk, less your car be dinged by other shoppers.

If you’re looking for an Asian food and can’t find it elsewhere in Edmonton, then T&T is your best bet. They import food from all over Asia, not just China, so it’s fairly easy to find Korean, Filipino, Japanese and Chinese goodies here. Admittedly, they don’t have the selection you might find in a Carrefour in China or an Odoya in Japan, but it is fairly extensive.
Want a quick, cheap and huge lunch? For $ 8.49 you can get a three item combo meal from their deli, which has steamed rice and three choices from their extensive hot buffet (20+ dishes). For another buck, you can substitute fried rice or chow mein noodles. They also offer take out sushi at a decent price and have a very good bakery that does amazing cakes (Hello Kitty anyone?), excellent breads (coconut bread here is a breakfast all by itself) and makes a variety of delicious buns (BBQ pork, curry beef, etc) and snacks.
Their produce section is also extensive and offers a variety of fruit not commonly found in other Edmonton supermarkets and the meat and seafood selections are pretty good too, although a touch expensive.
The only catch I’ve found with T&T is their sale prices — if you see something at an amazing price, it almost certainly has a best-​before date very soon (often tomorrow or the day after that!), so the old phrase buyer beware rings true. They are also often skittish about returns, so if you do buy something, make sure it’s exactly what you want.

Large store layout, with many products out on the shelf which is always good to see that the shelving space is being occupied and not sitting empty as some stores. A vast variety of Asian food, limited English on some packaging; so that could lead to a communication barrier. Always crowded in this market which makes it tricky to maneuver. Overall, great market especially if you are in the mood for something new and exotic for dinner.

Although I live by the T&T on the west end, I actually prefer going to the north end location for one reason: the service in the bakery.
I found the service for this location the better of the two when ordering a birthday cake for the reason that they spoke english and were friendly. They offered suggestions and was very pleasant.
Unsure of a cake flavor? I would highly recommend the fresh mango cake. Unlike the west end store, the north end doesn’t make you pay for the cake up front.
Besides the bakery, T&T has a great variety of imported foods that you can’t find in most super markets. Feel like eating Japanese chips? They’ve got those (I suggest corn flavor). Asian style ice-​cream? Got that too (Red bean is great). My favorite aisle is the drink aisle. The selection of juice boxes and especially the bottled teas will make you always want to keep coming back to try new things.
As a bonus, if you come around dinner time, you’re able to purchase some of the dishes that were produced in house in the morning at a discounted rate. They have cold dishes like sushi and maki rolls and some hot dishes that just need to be nuked like rice and bbq meat.
It’s definitely not the same like walking through a Watson’s in Hong Kong but it’s great to see store shelves filled with colorful bags of random flavored chips!

I love the diversity of products here. If you are looking for ingredients for almost any Chinese dish, they will have it. Avoid Saturdays, it is packed.

I really, really like T & T supermarket and have been a fan since living in Vancouver many years ago. However, this and the WEM location have recently let us down for both the quality and the size of the meals in their hot food selection area. So much so that I also wrote the company before posting this. I have yet to receive a reply.
The groceries are still great with lots of selection but we’ll be eating lunch before we go now.

An oasis to those away from the motherland, seller of delicious chinese-​style bbq pork, and creater of cartoon character cakes that border on creepy looking. T&T, or whatever else it will be called, will likely be a staple of my household for the rest of my life. For any Chinese special event (New Years, Mid-​Autumn Festival, etc.) you’ll find your food needs here.
BBQ pork, delicious buns, frozen spring rolls, frozen dumplings, you name it they got it. They also have quite the selection of Japanese okashi (snacks), rice, green tea and other goodies. Can’t really comment on the selection of other Asian foods, but for Chinese and Japanese it has a healthy selection.
This particular one I find is less busy than the West Edmonton Mall one, though not as big. Still I can find almost anything I need here. Parking can sometimes be a bit of an issue as the lot isn’t that big, so keep in mind you might have to walk a little bit.

Great asian food market with almost everything I loved to eat and drink while in Japan. Still missing a few of the good bottled teas but huge selection none the less.
Their bubble tea is also very delicious (I got avocado bubble tea) and makes for a good treat while shopping.
While I was there they surprised me by having tasting booths set up at multiple spots (I haven’t seen that at a grocery store in a really long time.)

I’ve only been to this location a handful of times, but it was a good experience every time.
I came by today where I ate sushi for lunch and picked up some tea that was on sale. They even had a TV in the food court where they were showing a live fight on WWE. I thought that was cool.
Another thing I immediately noticed is that they brought in bigger shopping carts. These new carts handled much better than the old ones.
However, they need to do a better job with their cleaning because there were flies buzzing around the food court.
