Supermarket Asian grocery store

👍 Little shop selling asian food. Not many choices regarding snacks or asian condiments though... You can find seafood and meat there, plus a tiny bakery in the back. On the plus side you can actually buy your lunch/dinner : - roast duck or roast pork (12€ with veggies and rice) - a bento box for 8€ =... People often mention pork, shop, roast, veggies, Asian,

    Great shop. Lots of different options and a wide variety of foods. Fresh vegetables including lots of different types of mushrooms and greens, frozen meats and dumplings, a butcher counter, varieties of sauces from all across Asia, dried spices, sweets and a huge variety of instant noodles! They have recently had some renovations and have a BBQ area which I got an amazing lunch from and a bakery at the back which I haven't tried yet. I enjoy coming here and picking new ingredients to try and the variety really helps to develop some fantastic dishes!

    Little shop selling asian food. Not many choices regarding snacks or asian condiments though... You can find seafood and meat there, plus a tiny bakery in the back. On the plus side you can actually buy your lunch/dinner : - roast duck or roast pork (12€ with veggies and rice) - a bento box for 8€ = rice with a combination of 3 sides (chicken, beef or pork sautee with veggies, or fried. Tofu, veggies sautee among other things). The lady gives you a nice portion, I'd personally say it is a 1 bento box for 2 ppl (or 1 if you have a big appetite). - fried buns, either beef or pork filling = 5€ each. You pay directly at the counter, either cash or card. Now for the taste. I would say it is good... but because it is oily you are easily full. I tried the veggies sautee with seafood (ok), the tofu (ok), the pork with veggies (too oily) and the roast duck (ok). As I said, they give you nice portion, so the 2 bentos I ordered would easily feed 3 ppl.

    Had a more "local" goods from Oriental Asia so that was great. 2 best thing about the place is that they offer student discount so it was affordable and the food was amazing! I definitely like it that the selections was really local rather than catered what the outside world considered "popular Asian food". it was very authentic! Also the portion was massive. Got the rice char siu which a very generous hipping of meat and veggies and rice for 10 euros. Remember to bring cash!

    The staff at the fish station is just so rude. He carried a box and hit half of my back from behind and walked pass by without saying anything. If I’m in your way you can let me know. My eyes are not on my back. They just couldn’t careless even I’m a customer who’s pregnant. Disgraceful! 👎👎👎

    Every time I go here with my wife we're followed around the shop by a staff member. But when I go on my own I'm left alone. Google won't let me say why, but suffice it to say my wife looks different to me. Just avoid this place.

    This place has a variety of Asian kitchen essentials with reasonable price. Everything I bought from this store was cheaper than other places in Dublin. Asian-pear is the one I like most from this place. 😊 Staffs are super friendly and helpful.

    My favourite place in Dublin city centre to buy Asian food and supplies. A wide range of products to choose from As well as ready-to-eat food.

    A great little spot for hot food that not many people know about. Prices are very good for what you get. Best times to go for the hot food is after 12pm when they have all of the menu available. Also for food shopping, there's a nice selection of all different types of Asian food. If there was somewhere to sit inside for when you get your hot food, I would give it 5 stars.

    Had everything that I needed! At least 4 options for fresh noodles, any and all sauces, aromatics, etc. They had a small stock of fresh vegetables, which made me happy because there's definitely not going to be lots of waste. A nice small butcher at the back of the shop also! And the workers behind the counter were very friendly and helpful. I'd come back again!

    To me, the real attraction of this show is the roast pork belly. 17 Euro for a box, roughly around 500gms. The roast pork belly has the right amount of meat to fat ratio, the skin crispy. Meat is marinated right and still juicy after we brought it home. Comes with the dipping sauce. You'll see the roast pork belly hanging on the left once you enter the shop, behind the fish counter.

    This is a huge place in the heart of Dublin great for groceries and meat

    Excellent selection and breadth of choices. Had a huge instant noodle aisle I will likely spend a lot of time and money trying...

    This Asian store is ultra convenient. Right in front of the West bound Red Line on Jervis Luas Stop. Good selections, ok prices. Inside there's also a small restaurant.

  • 5/5 Richie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good shop, they have some less easy to find items such as fermented shrimp paste (as opposed to the more common sautéed shrimp paste). The new BBQ section looks really good and the renovations have definitely improved the shop. Would defo recommended.

    Decent selection of Asian groceries although limited compared to other places that are not far off. The restaurant/take-away within is really good. Some fantastic Chinese dishes.
