I discovered this place looking online for a place to find some unusual ingredients for some asian recipes I wanted to make.This place is great , it has fresh vegetables and fruits from around the world. You can get asian soft drinks , TONS of types of rice, lots of sauces and oils, fresh fish and meats. This is my favorite part is the fresh fish and meat. You can get razor clams for cheap! And they are fresh. The butcher there will get you any cut you want. ( I was making a pork tongue recipe and I was able to get them there fresh and cheaply) Theres even a little cafe type thing inside as well as an exceptional restaurant upstairs. This is a little know secret in Edinburgh and if you like to cook asian food then go here for your ingrediants.

So. Many. Dumplings…read more There are only two things that can stop me from squawking when i'm sick: ramen and dumplings. Don't ask me why, but this combo is my flu ridden happy place. Keep your chicken soup, I want shrimp wrapped in wonton. I actually found this place while I was looking for another little asian supermarket that Justin G introduced me to. It's also very good. I'll tell you exactly how good whenever I manage to find it again... But this place is a happy alternative in the meantime. It's fairly big and decently organized. They have three freezers full of dumplings as soon as you enter and they stock my favourite melt-your-face-off spicy ramen, so I was a fast fan. I grabbed three different types of dumplings to tide me over during sick-a-palooza. Judging by the fact that the Beijing wonton dumplings are already done... it's safe to assume these are damn tasty. I also grabbed some good miso, dumpling sauce and fancy soy sauce. Because nothing makes me feel like a true blue adult quite like low sodium, brand name soy sauce. It's the little things. It's a hop, skip and a jump away from Real Foods, so it's a good destination one-two punch for me. My only complaint is that it's a bit pricey, but they have a handy, dandy check in offer that took some of that sting off. I figure I have about 35 different dumplings left to try, so yes, i'll definitely be back.

I've only been here for a week and I'm already homesick for Asian food back home. Just on a…read morepersonal level, I was looking for common Vietnamese goods which blends with Chinese goods as well. I purchased a wide array of items. Chili, rice paper sheets, vermicelli, fish sauce, soy sauce, udon soup base, dumplings, potstickers. Also, some of the brands are the same as the ones I recognize back in the States. I wouldn't know much about price comparison amongst other asian grocers, but you'll definitely be saving a few pounds here than if you were to go to the small aisle at Tesco. Oh yeah, they accept cards if your purchase is over 5 pounds.

They even helped me when I was trying to learn and order in Mandarin! They are always well stocked and full of value and difficult to source products. The place is a bit cramped and seeing how popular they are they should move to a bigger location.. but that would mean loosing them from Leith Walk .. so no.

This was my first experience in a Chinese supermarket, and I was not disappointed. I'm surprised…read morethat people are saying it's little, because I thought it was actually quite large on the inside. Maybe it's been extended since the first review. Anyway, wondering round the aisles at this place was very much like a voyage of discovery. There were so many packets that had Chinese writing on, and so I was reduced to looking at the pictures to see what they were! One of the things I enjoyed the most was the aroma of this shop. Supermarkets rarely have an aroma, but this one smelt like a beautiful combination of different spices. The source of this was the sizeable spice range - I could have bought a massive bag of chilli, or many other spices. Apart from food, there was also a range of cooking equipment, with a good choice of different woks amongst many other things. I have to say, I didn't find that this place was overwhelmed with Amoy products - there was a good range of their sauces on show, but on the whole the shelf space this took up was not significant. I was impressed with what this supermarket had to offer. I do love a good Chinese meal, though I haven't had one in ages. Maybe this will give me the push I need to branch out.

Massive supermarket style shop compared to the other Asian food shops around Edinburgh. They have…read moreall sorts in here from well known product lines to really obscure items. If you want items in bulk then this is the place to come as they sell catering quanities for certain items. Gallon of tomatoe sauce for £2.00ish anyone? A more useful bulk buy would be the butchery section as they take orders for collection. If you were having a BBQ or similiar then this would be the place to come and get massive ammount of chicken or similair. Items of note: - Frozen rotis - giant bottles of soy sauce - Frozen edamame beans - bulk buy shin soup noodle deals - Biryani spice mix - All the cooking implements you would ever need for pennies - Frozen prawns - fresh vegetables from the usual pak choi through to galangal root

It's a little comical calling this place a supermarket; I'm not saying it's ridiculously small, on…read morethe contrary, but it's NOT a supermarket! I went in there looking for pure coconut oil (purely cosmetic reasons) and whilst they didn't have what I was looking for, the man who worked there was so friendly and even directed me to other shops I could find what I needed. To the contents of the store itself, this seems like a place for people who actually know what they're doing with the ingredients. So to all those curry paste, coconut milk, and ramen people like me, be warned! A lot of the food labels and prices are primarily in Chinese, and the English prices, which I had to squint to see sometimes seem a little bit like an after thought... as though "we ARE in the UK, I guess we should make it decipherable for the natives as well". I can only give this store full marks for at least the appearance of authenticity, as I'm far from an expert on Asian cuisine of any kind!

So many people I know have lived in this part of Newington for ages and still don't know that this…read moreplace exists. Which is, in my opinion, one of the best things about it. Usually when I go in I'm the only non-chinese person in there, which is always a reassuring nod towards the authenticity of the place. They quite literally stock everything from instant pot noodle-type things to raw ingredients like spices and flavourings, as well as all those ingredients that you can't find in British supermarkets, no matter how big. They sell things in bulk (check out the enormous sacks in the rice aisle) as well as in smaller day-to-day quantities for people who aren't cooking for 30+. Although the prices are higher than you might expect - I paid almost £3 for a pack of dry noodles that I could have bought for £1 for the same quantity in Tesco - the quality is so much better. Also, you'll suffer in here if you're claustrophobic, as everything is packed extremely high and the aisles are about 2 feet wide maximum. But these two disadvantages are the only disadvantages. If you're cooking a meal that requires even one chinese ingredient, you should look here for it first.
