Although the store only sells Asian food and products used in its preparation (imported from China, Korea, Japan, and other countries in Asia as India), there are some products that are made in Canada, and others are imported from the United States (e.g.: We found Yakult a lactic product from Korea which it is fabricated in the USA, or SOO a spicy beef which is manufactured in a Canadian federally inspected facility, both shows logos, names, and instructions in Korean and Chinese respectively as if they wanted to go unnoticed that they were not manufactured in Asia, and of course, they shows their translations in French and English according to government regulations.
