    I once bought the Nissin curry cup noodles in rice curry flavour on ebay for $32 shipped 6pack but can't find even such a remotely decent deal anymore and these are big and tasty, so I thought maybe someone knows where to get them in Toronto? seems no seller on amazon ships to Canada for some reason?
    thanks in advance!
    I have less than 5 posts so I can't post a picture or link.

    Have you visited the Sanko store on Queen Street West to see what it stocks? Short of going to J-Town on Steeles or maybe even a T&T store (Cherry St.), Sanko might be your best option.

    I know Loblaws stores might carry some Nissin cup products but don't know this curry version personally. Now I want one too!

    great idea, haven't been to Sanko this year! and I have to revisit T&T on Cherry st, was there a few months ago but didn't see it then, I was in a rush because they were closing soon so I might have overlooked it - other options are a bit more complicated as we don't drive!
    thank you so much for great tips! my highest recommendation for this product, I love to eat it with a sunny side up egg and it's just awesome!

    Pacific Mall has just about everything Asian you could imagine. I used to live close by and used to love going there.

    thank you - we don't drive so, so far since I have been in Canada (4yrs) I have been there only once but I could go again and at least buy a few of them if I find them

    I hope you find them there. If not, maybe you will find something else you like? Have fun !

    For T&T Superstore: Trying to recall the TTC route-72-Pape bus? The one that goes to Greektown/Danforth also loops through Cherry St after leaving the Esplanade downtown. You'd have to check the TTC site for routing/times. Grocery store is at 222 Cherry St-it looks to be a little south of where the TTC routing is aka you'll have to walk there from the bus stop.
    http://www.tnt-supermarket.com/en/store_locator.php

    TTC says the downtown part of route is now 172 and it goes to Cherry St. Route overlaps with 72-Pape. http://ttc.ca/Service_Advisories/Rou...2_Pape_J14.jsp
    @Toronto gal-I found online that the side of Sanko's store got a pop culture mural. Saw the project video online somewhere during the summer. Very cool art!

    @greeny I have not tried to take transit to Pacific Mall (went by car with friends a few years ago) from downtown Toronto but so want to see other places along Steeles Ave. E. before PM (isn't there a newish mall opposite Pacific Mall, on south side of Steeles?). I remember there's a small mall next door (east of PM) that had a large grocery store with so many food products. Was just stunned at the varieties of food items for sale. And my friend got me attached to the want-want type of rice crackers that are sweet&salty. Now I get them at Nations Foods in Hamilton when I am there.

    It's been a few years since I've been to PM. I'm not sure about anything new being built but there are a lot of Asian markets along Steeles traveling all the way down into Markham.

    Whoa! I've never tried the Mama Pad Thai noodles (will try and find it next time I am shopping). I am addicted to Mama Tom Yum noodles...they are so bad for my health but taste so good.

    @ OP: Amazon is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy overpriced.

    I check over there a few times a year, the selection varies. never saw this rice but sometimes, last time, like a year and a half ago? they had nissin curry ramen which is excellent.
