Honestly, best convenience store owners on the planet - they’re so nice. And the lady that sells the hot food there- it’s soooo incredibly good. It tastes home made, is so reasonably priced and is some of the best seasoned and cooked takeout in CabbagetownPosted on R H JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great little market.
