Asian Night Market, Superfresh, Opens in Toronto

Showcasing Asian-owned and led businesses in the former Annex Food Hall, Asian night market Superfresh is now open at 384 Bloor Street in Toronto!

The 4,000 sq. ft market is comprised of seven vendors and offers not only food and beverages which celebrate Asian culture but also a bodega with indoor and outdoor seating, live entertainment, and planned secret events – a location reminiscent of the busy, exciting night markets of Asia.

“We are excited to bring this concept to life and add to the cultural fabric of the Asian community
in Toronto,” says co-owner, Trevor Lui. “Our intention is to support and uplift the many talented
Asian creatives in the city and provide a hub to showcase their work.”
