Huaaawaaaaaaaaaat?! Only TWO reviews in this listing? Impossible.
English name, Irving Seafood Market and as already stated, you won't find live or frozen fish here.
Chinese name: Hung Won Supermarket (again, nothing to do with Won Hung Low)
Let's face it, this grocery/supermarket/deli store doesn't seem all that interesting. A mish mash of various things you can find at most Chinese supermarkets, some steam table food and even really random small selection of maybe buns or dim sum.
So what's with the 4 star love?

Still getting a huh?
No no no, not the head. In Cantonese, this is called Siu Yok. aka roast pork with uber crispy delicious skin. Usually the prime cuts are by the belly for obvious reasons. This will be one of the most affordable and finest Roasties you will ever have.
I gotta be honest, the Cantonese BBQ deli section seems to have an ultra limited selection. Of all the times the past 8 years I've been by here, there is at most a slab of cha shiu (bbq pork), hardly a duck (rare), maybe a soy sauce chicken. So I wonder how much they sell. But what they always seem to have here, is a slab of the swinetastic crispy carcass. Not the whole hog sadly, (young baby roasted swine costs a pretty penny and usually reserved for $pecial occa$$ion$).
But whatever Siu Yuk ISM has, is of the utmost fantastic quality. Ask specifically for the cuts nearest the bone, like a pound's worth, have them chop it up. It will be very challenging to not munch on the bite sized roasties in the car before you take it home to pair it with perfectly steamed jasmine rice.
