September 2021. Continue to be a 5★ place. You honestly wouldn't expect a butcher shop of this calibre in a small plaza like this. But honestly, it's so convenient being just along Kennedy road.
Meats continue to be fresh. Cut and prepared to your liking. Great selection.

2019. 5★ Amazing service. Awesome meats. Lots of selection of wagu, Kobe and short ribs amongst other choices. They'll cut to your choice, marinade, freeze, vacuum pack. Large selection. Racks and all. Staff friendly and helpful. Worth the extra time and money.
Omg. The chicken breast fillets were amazing. Seasoned very well. The quality and taste reflects the prices. Breasts were surprisingly tender.

Good selection however the quality is not there, at least for everyday beef like USDA. Will not go back. They trimmed the steak after weight and told me red meat is garbage and brown beef is the flavor lol. Why did you need to trim the brown part away then? Oh btw the brown steak taste faul in the end

Siblings go here all the time. I never get it so first time getting it couple months ago. Nervous cause its a lot of money by the end of it. Got an older gentleman to help me out. Thanked him and left. My family showed me the steak he gave me one of them had an obvious grey spot on one side of the steak. We cooked it and had the “old” taste. Had to watch what was given ever since. I no longer their precuts and only get the rack ones.

Don’t get me wrong their meat quality I find is exquisite and marbling is always there. Just be wary and always watch what they give for precuts because he did swap a fresh precut to the old one. I didnt see the old spot till my family pointed out. I now just walk back out if I see him there and go another time or day.

Excellent butcher shop owned by a very friendly family. They have an unbelievable variety of high quality meats from around the world. We stopped buying steaks anywhere else since we discovered this place.

Dropped by last weekend for our Father's Day BBQ fixins. We arrived minutes before they opened at 9. The moment Mike, the owner, saw us sitting in our car he came sprinting towards the door to let us in. We stepped inside and immediately notice that it was very clean and tidy. There was definitely no smell of raw meat that you expect to find at a butcher shop. There were so many varieties of very high quality imported meats (I mainly focused on the beef) that can be pretty hard to find out there. He had everything from Canadian AAA Angus to Wagyu and Kobe Beef.

We mainly wanted to grab some tomahawk steaks, which I belive is what they are know for. Mike quickly brought out a few for us to pick from. He then directed us to an open view cutting board behind the counter and proceeded to cut and trim our steaks right there in front of us. I was very pleased with that since most butcher shops would normally take the meat to the back to cut it.

He asked us what else we were looking for and we had mentioned burgers and sausages. Mike then pointed out to us his freezer full of homemade burger patties and Italian style sausages. We grabbed a few packs of the homemade beef burgers. We were so surprised to find Wagyu burgers and could not pass on that. These burgers turned out so nicely. They were so juicy and the flavour and texture were so different from the regular homemade beef burgers. Hard to describe you just have to give them a try. We also grabbed some liver sausages which were so flavourful and buttery. Alex also mentioned that he was known for his femur bones, the ones you roast for bone marrow, we couldn't help but say yes.

Right before leaving Alex gave us a final tour and explained to us all the exotic meats that he carries. You can tell that he was very passionate and knowledgeable about his craft. He spoke to us about every aspect of the products we picked out and even gave us tips about how to prepare the meats for the best experience. All of his meats are of very high quality. All of the imported meats are sealed and stamped in the original packaging to guarantee authenticity. I highly recommend anyone to visit Alex's Meat Market.
