🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 One of the most cherished, and oldest, Chinese emporiums in Auckland. Major merchants for many decades. The Wah Lee family are a leading merchant family in this city and renowned for their dedicated commitment to customers. This is a must visit place. Old style with a unique Chinese Auckland character. Wah Lee has to be experienced. This is a truly wonderful place that I've been visiting for 50 years. The best rice paper blinds and lampshades in the country. This is the place to go for bulk rice and grains. If you've never been here; please go and spend an hour there. You'll be a convert to this revered family's commitment to Auckland. You will be welcomed by the Wah Lee family and friends. Totally wonderful!

This is a living history of Chinese grocery stores. I went there ages ago. Now they have all sorts of other stuff rather than just Chinese food or utensils. They are now stockist for some local artisan products. I like to browse their random stuff - there will always be a wonderful surprise. I found a few artefacts from my childhood memories. One of the shop staff is a European gentleman who is very kind.

The staff at Wah Lees have always been incredibly nice to deal with, very happy with my Lucky Cat that was purchased late last year and delivered all of the good vibes. Great selection of food and products too. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales

I was looking for chili threads to garnish noodle dishes and candlenuts for curry paste. The lady was kind enough to divide a large pack of the threads in half for me. Large variety of Asian serving and cooking ware. They also carry Yerba mate and Latin specialties! Well worth a visit just to take a peek at all the interesting items.

Love my wok spatula. This store has been around for many decades and is an Auckland icon, the staff are lovely and so much to see here. Highly recommended

A great eclectic store that also is an icon. Sell plenty of unique and unusual items. Staff members are friendly, accommodating, patient and very helpful. They went above and beyond to help you. Car parking can be challenging. I believe that this is the only shop featured in the Auckland Memorial Museum exhibition.

Order was processed quickly and shipped promptly. everything was super well packaged and arrived to us safe and sound. Very happy with Wah Lee service to online customers.

Yerba Mate. There's a big sign in the window and a good selection on the shelves. Chinese New Year (Dragon) on 10 Feb 2024. Start here first for something unique.

Anything great Chinese ornament.. or gift..You will find here. Good prices. Sufficient parking outside..Great service 🙄

Easy to order online from the South Island, really quick delivery, goods exactly as described, thank you so much for making CNY 2024 accessible in the cultural void of my tiny town! 🙏

After decades of driving past we finally got to go inside! We were looking for a giant fan (for one of our science shows) and it was so beneficial to see the items in person rather than 'guessing' online. To top off the whole magical experience they even gifted us a calendar!

Thanks for the calander sir .I've been this country over 20years and that's the first time ever got this detailed traditional calender .very thoughtful and interesting design ^_^

Order a wok brush. Seller very helpful when i asked best way to maintain it. Gave tracking and it came like the next day. Highly recommended

Definitely a gem shop that everyone should visit. Full of southeast Asia culture ingredients and products.

Kia Ora Dwayne! Figured it's been at least 25 years since I browsed (& YES there's a customer carpark!;)) & RUE the lost time... Certainly going to .ake up for it - esp since myTaiPings gone!...

Probably one of the oldest surviving businesses in Auckland, used to go here 40+ years ago. Must go more often

I ordered a beautiful wallet online a couple of days ago and prepared myself to head into town to pick it up. Then yesterday, a lovely woman hand delivered it to our house. Thank you Wah Lee for going the extra distance literally and bringing your lovely wares to us directly!

Great customer service experience. And I'm glad to see they stock the kiwi brand knives, super good value.

Always a pleasure to look around this iconic store of Auckland city ⛩️

Amazing! It's like a Chinese emporium of all kinds of stuff. From crockery to woks, kitchen gadgets, ornaments and even seeds. I need to go back to see the rest, that I missed.
