Checked it out yesterday. It's closer to Warden than Birchmount next to where previously Rona had been.
Didn't have a lot of time to browse but noticed a few things while picking up what I needed. Al comes across as big, with a great selection, reasonable prices and even some good deals. I was really impressed by the steam table variety and am curious about the quality of the take-home food and hope it's not like the salty/starchy/fatty stuff they try to pass off at other grocery stores.
I have serious doubts about the service, which is per the standard Asian grocer where if you want help, you're on your own. This is still where T&T is unmatched. The cashout was cash only.
Overall it was a good experience since generally I find asian markets chaotic and frenzied... Because of the time of day I was there it wasn't crowded so it was kind of laid back not unlike T&T.
