This is the only place I've found in Zürich to buy frozen dumplings with meat in them. Not cheap…read moreat CHF 14 for 600 grams (30 pieces), and they're chicken with veggies instead of the regular pork ones, but hey--beggars can't be choosers.

Very basic little Asian grocery store under the Hauptbahnhof. Their varieties isn't great compared…read moreto what I'm used to but they seem to have the basics down pat. I've gotten stables such as Japanese udon and soba noodles, Chinese vermicelli bean noodles, Thai coconut milk, frozen bags of edamame, and various Asian sauces. They also carry essential snacks such as wasabi peas, rice crackers wrapped in seaweed (norimaki), Pocky (chocolate coated biscuit sticks) that no self-respecting Asian grocery store wouldn't stock onto their shelves. Their prices are fairly reasonable for Zurich standards. Whenever I feel a little home sick (NYC), I'd stop in here for a few comforting reminders.

Ein netter Laden, aber wir wurden schon zum vierten oder fünften Mal übervorteilt. Wir haben mit…read morevielen Leuten aus der Gegend gesprochen, und alle behaupten, noch nie in einem Laden im ganzen Land ein so umständliches und undurchsichtiges Preissystem erlebt zu haben. Nur wenige Artikel sind auf dem Kassenbon mit dem tatsächlichen Preis gekennzeichnet, der Rest ist einfach nur rätselhaft als "Lebensmittel" bezeichnet. Die Preise hängen nur an den Regalen (und das auch erst seit Kurzem) und davon ab, was die Besitzer in das Gerät eingeben. Wir haben von mehreren Fällen gehört, in denen auf der Rechnung noch Artikel von vorherigen Kunden aufgeführt waren. Überprüfen Sie Ihre Rechnung daher immer sorgfältig!

Very nice owners and they sell a wide variety of products! The shop is small but clean and tidy,…read moreplus very reasonably priced. I like the joint a lot. If you want to try yourself on Indian Cuisine definitely go there and get some spices/ Ingredients. They also sell booze, crisps if you forgot to prepare for a party and simple things like soap, Adliswil trashbags or milk (super convenient if everything is closed already and the nearest shop that's open until 10 pm is at the main station in Zurich). Opening hours are pretty convenient for folks who work late.

I love this store!…read more Ever since I've been to Malasia I have been looking for a store that sells Pandan leaves, red bean paste and other goodies from SE Asia. This is it! Here you'll find pretty much everything you need to help you wallow in your holiday memories - sticky rice, Durian, strangely labelled packets - you name it, it's probably there. But that's not even the reason I like this store so much. I usually just pop in to see what fresh Thai desserts they have in the fridge right next to the entrance. It's become a sort of sport of mine to go in and just pick whatever looks tastiest. Sometimes it's really good, sometimes not so much :)

Wandering around the heart of Old Town Zurich and stumbled upon a Japanese grocer…read more I walked in to casually browse the store to see what they have to offer in comparison to the international grocers in the States! The store is pretty small, it has your typical kitchen goods (cutlery, plates/bowls, etc.), sauces, snacks, souvenirs, dry goods, refrigerated section, small freezer section (dumplings etc.), and sweets. They do not have produce though! I think it has most of the essentials! The interior is clean, and the store is well organized. Some of the items were pretty expensive in comparison to what I am used to in the States, but everything in Zurich is more expensive!

I like YumiHana and for one specific reason: they have natto! I like to eat Natto for breakfast now…read moreand then but when I moved to Switzerland I sorta already accepted that I would no longer to be able to eat natto. So I was super happy to see that they stock not only one but three sorts of natto. Also, the price was quite reasonable (for Switzerland), I did notice that there were some other things like Kimchi were on the expensive side compared to other ethnic stores. Another plus is that YumiHana is clean and well organized- unlike some other Asian stores in Zurich. The store is quite small but well stocked: they have a wide range of Japanese and Korean cooking essentials which are often difficult to find in Europe. I found many of my faves: matcha KitKat, a small tub of gochujang (suited for the small fridges here), barley tea, good quality noodles, umeboshi, mirin etc. All the products were of good quality when I later cooked with then and ate them so I will be back for my natto fix!
