PAT Central

A great selection of products at this Korean supermarket by Christie Station. Fresh meat department, cold side dishes aisle, fresh produce, and organized aisles with price signs. Also, Kevin's Taiyaki is located near the entrance (cash only) if you want a quick snack to go! Otherwise, for quick bites, there's Onigiri, Sushi and Kimbap in the cold aisle of the store at the end.

They have the main entrance with a slightly less obvious exit door which most customers do not go through. The cashiers are very friendly and the staff are very helpful if you need recommendations or find specific items.

They have an assortment of Korean but also Japanese products as well. There are lots of side dishes, kimchi and ready-to-eat food to fill your cravings! A great option to stop by to grab some prepared marinated meat or frozen products. Also, they do have some kitchenware like stone bowls, utensils, and pots. Shelves are constantly well stocked up!

Variety of Korean grocery items and a live counter for bangepan. Ramen, korean sauces, veggies, utensils like pots and pans, grills, chopsticks, etc. Everything is available here. A small beauty product shop on 1st floor

The pickled ginger and Kimchi are fantastic, while the mushrooms sometimes don't look very good. It might just be due to shipment timing vs when we go, though. There's a decent selection of produce, but it's not extensive. The location is very convenient, and the small parking lot out back is very handy if you're planning on driving.

It's not the largest grocery store in the world by any means, but it's well organized and the selection is good. It's been a while since I've seen it in stock, but they sometimes have fresh tofu in styrofoam trays that is absolutely fantastic. The salt selection is also quite nice.

Wide array of Korean and other asian ingredients. There's is also a good selection of cooked meals and side dishes.

All asian items: rice noodle (phở/ bún khô), rice paper (vỏ nem), asian herbs like lemon grass, red chili, Thai basil, Indian spices etc. Very happy with my purchase here!

Overpriced korean/ non korean food.don’t buy your veggies and fruits here.they’re usually mouldy and over priced. Korean products are decent.

Awesome selection of Asian goods that are hard to find this close to downtown.

Also love the takoyakk (custard filled fish pastry) stand right in the store!

My only complaint is that it's not located in my neighborhood. Cashier lady was very pleasant to interact with

I bought some pork bone from this place couple weeks ago, under the perception that pork bone from Korean supermarkets (i.e. Galleria) should be better than those from Chinese counterparts. Oh how I was so wrong. When I parked at the back parking lot I noticed there was a meat delivery truck from a well-known Chinese meat distributor famous for their cheap pricing, not necessarily on quality of their products. That was a huge warning sign. And the pork bone I bought was just that, cheap in price and also on quality, on par with those from Chinese markets. I shall not be bothered with this place in future.

One of my go to Asian supermarket! This I believe is a Korean grocery store so they well mostly carry Korean food, snacks etc.

Nevertheless, I love it there!

Lots of various Asian products in a small space. Very fast cashiers.
Some free samples sometimes but I like their pastry they sell at the front that looks like a fish.

Here’s my take on this place. Of course this place lacks selection of groceries in general compared to Galleria or HMart located in Thornhill (uptown), but thats understandable considering the location. Overall, it does have most of the things people look for, but it’s slightly more costly than what Im looking for. Thus, when Im trying to buy lots of Korean food, I avoid this place but if you dont have a car, I believe this would be the best alternative to go to. The cashiers are generally friendly so thats a plus.

One of my favorite korean supermarkets - they are always well stocked, very convenient and have a free parking lot in the back for when you need to do a little shopping. They even have fresh foods they make and sell which taste great!

They follow covid protocols very closely and make sure there is only a specific amount of people inside + hand sanitizer at the entrance.

I frequent here quite often:)

Great service and selection. They are taking covid very seriously with the test and lines ups. The employees are very nice and helpful.

They agreed good at monitoring their numbers into their store, and having sanitized baskets. Lots of great stuff too

Decent selection of Korean foods sprinkled with some Japanese and misc other Asian foods and products. Didn’t have cash to try the fresh taiyaki (which may or may not have made this 5*:)

Excellent selection of vinegars, dressings, and sauces (far isle), plus loads of kimchi and Korean snacks. Usually many rare veggies you can't find at Loblaws, so it's great for getting the right ingredient. Do your dumplings require garlic scapes? Don't settle for chives. Do you need Napa cabbage? Don't settle for the hard green stuff. Friendly, with fast turnaround.

Great Korean grocery in the downtown area. Affordable. Relatively large. Large stock of fresh meat, produce, dried and frozen goods. Large selection of ready to go (prepared) Korean food at good prices. Free parking behind the store. Air mail service to Korea - cheaper and faster than any competitor I’ve seen.

Such a fun experience! So many fun and unique items, and they sell these fish-shaped waffles that are worth the trip alone!

They have everything I want from an aisan grocery store. Many things I think they won't have and I find it they do. It takes a bit to look through everything as sometimes the English is small, but it's worth it too find all the treasures.

Bring cash and get one of the custard or red bean waffles (shaped like fish) in the corner by the entrance. Sooooo yummy. Also one of the only places I've found where you can buy inari pouches (fried bean curd) and bulk Nori for non-artisinal prices in the city.

This place is it great Korean grocery store and the only one located in the downtown core. I like going here because they have many snacks that aren't offered in our traditional grocery stores and I find them to be reasonably priced.the staff are eager to help you answer any questions you may have and are super proud of their Korean background and love anyone who is willing to try food from their country.

You can make your Korean meals from start to.finish using all the ingredients in the store alone. No need to look elsewhere.

A funky Korean grocery downtown - not always cheap - but useful. Also it gets an extra star for the sweet waffles filled with custard or bean paste made to order at the front.

Great prices for Korean and Japanese imports. The people working are friendly. Great location as well. A block away from the subway.

I found this place sells some snacks and instant ramens cheaper than other Korean grocery stores like Galleria and Hmart, but some of their super cheap items are closer to its expiration date so check the date before you buy. Their store-made Kimch taste really good, and Fish shape Cake (BungEoPang) which is baked at the in-store bakery is so yum! I personally like custard fish cake among red bean and other fillings.

I usually come here for the freshly made crispy fish-shaped pancakes with red bean or custard filling. Always delicious! Once, I got the ice cream filled version from the freezer section. Better deal, but texture of dough can't compete.

First of all I got to say this is a great place to buy Korean food, it can be quite crowded at times but to me I would rather see it busy then empty. There is a lot of different things from fruits, fish, snacks, rice, meats and beauty products. I got a couple face masks and some hand cream and it was better than any biotherm product I ever used.

The kimchi here is always A+ and spiced right, not to powerful but not overly acidic as well. Will definitely be shopping here more and more from now on

Everytime I visit christie I stop by to get some korean groceries. Pretty good deals are available anytime I visit by.

Has many Asian food that I can't find in the regular grocery stores. Some store staff are not very friendly or helpful but it's the only store around.

A wide selection of produce as well as Korean and Japanese (some Chinese) groceries. The help I received while shopping here was absolutely above and beyond. The gentleman I dealt with took me around the store to help find the things I needed. I could not have asked for a better shopping experience.

PAT has an amazing selection korean food! Always have better price than Galleria or HMart so I always go here!

You can find almost Korean food there. Clean shopping vibe and nice staff. Purchased the whole week snacks and food.

They have everything! Amazing seafood, pickled and fermented stuff, noodles, frozen soups, kitchenware. This is heaven.

Not the best shopping experience, but product pricing and staff are good. Parking can be slightly difficult.

Always a pleasure to shop here. Friendly staff. Clean and well-organized aisles. Good quality food. The doorway bungeo pang is a delicious treat!

They sell Kevin's taiyaki with rare custard flavor! Produce is also super fresh and you can also buy many Asian items you can't find in regular supermarkets.
