I love Giang Tiger, I will always shop at our Canadian chain store. The quality is alright, but the prices have gone up and that is unfortunate. Their clearance prices are great though.
I knocked off one star because most of the clothes I've seen there this year were ugly.

Crummy selection but pretty ok prices. Sometimes amazing deals. They price match which can be pretty great. I like the super cheap t shirts
