We only shopped upstairs but they had a good supply of fruit, crackers and veggies. I would have liked to buy some prepared fresh veg, carrot and celery sticks, etc. But they didn't have anything like that. There salad bar was mostly prepared salad and didn't look appetizing. But we bought grapes and blueberries in packages and they were good.

This Asianmarkt is my first asianmarkt when i first moved to Germany and live in Hansaring. The…read moreshop is quite small and offers limited varieties of asian products. They have basically everything, but in limited option. In means that, they have oyster sauce, but only from one producer, etc. Although it is small, they have the Indomie and sambal ABC that every Indonesian like me so desired. And that should be enough as starter. Moving on, After moving to places and being absent from this area, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit this store again, since I was going home through Dom hbf, and i though "Why not buy some asian stuffs to cook?" - we are having thai abend at my place. So i come by and decided to buy several sauce and seasoning for our cookings later that night. To my surprise, it was really really full. Later on, i realized that this store is specialized in mostly one type of customer: Chinese customers! As asian, you can tell from which asian countries some people are, it is in your blood. Just like Europeans can tell which country other Europeans come from; it comes naturally like that amazing instinct when you saw someone attractive in your crowd! Thus, almost everyone was speaking Chinese, i can tell some are even regulars in this store. That is nice, because it means they have customer's loyalty. The owner of the shop is very friendly, they are also attentive. Although some does not really speak german perfectly, it was already a good thing that they try to communicate as best as they can. You can find basic products here, although you dont really have the choice to choose between several producers. What i love, is that they have really much asian fresh vegetables! They have this chopstick looking vegetable, that i guarantee i can not even find sometimes in Indonesia. I am also pretty sure they have more chinese products thats why a lot of their customer's are chinese. Who else is eating this chopstick looking vegetable aside from us asians, right?? I bet most westerners do not even know they exist until we force them to eat it. The only major set down, is the space. Since they have small store and quite big product variations, it makes it hard to walk every mini aisle. Harder when you have a shopping crate. You basically have to push and shove and pray you dont accidentally drop and break the jar of something while shopping. PS: Try the fresh home-made Bak Chang which cost 1,50EUR. It is delicious!

Definitely one of the better supermarkets in Cologne. They have a pretty large selection, and also…read moremuch more room to move around than in the smaller Rewe City locations. One problem seems to be that when they don't have something on stock, it seems as if it takes ages for them to replace the items. They do offer a fairly impressive wine selection from all over the world. Definitely one of the perks. The staff is okay, not the friendliest in the world but also not the worst. For a German supermarket, it's pretty good.
