This is a great place to shop for the spices you need to cook any spice riddled ethnic dish. They…read morehave a great range of spices and their prices are quite cheap compared to other places. I have found that on some spices they are able to sell them 60% cheaper than you would find in a major supermarket. So, if you use spices in your dishes regularly it is worth buying and stocking the spices from here. The staff here are very helpful and really know their spices. They were even able to assist me with an Indian dish I was planning on cooking. It's a great place, with friendly staff and a wide selection of spices at competitive prices.

WELCOME Fresh Food Having been brought up on a Chinese diet,…read moremost forms of Asian cooking is second nature to me now. I can't count the number of times I've scoured Brisbane looking for a specific ingredient without which my authentic Thai or Malaysian or Chinese dish would fail. WELCOME Fresh Food is one of my regular suppliers for Asian groceries. For those who are use to shopping at Woolworths or Coles, there are two things you'll notice about Asian grocery stores in general. Firstly, the aisles are not very wide. It wouldn't be unusual for two women with normal sized child-bearing hips to get wedged in an aisle. WELCOME Fresh Food is no exception. There is nothing you can about this. I repeat, there is absolutely NOTHING you can do about this. The only way to deal with it is to learn how to sidle, slip and slide through temporary cracks in the crowd. If you do tend to get claustrophobic, fortunately there are quiet periods - go first thing in the morning or half an hour before shutting. Do not go around midday on a weekend! Secondly, you may notice that the level of cleanliness is not like Woollies or Coles. I'm not saying there are bugs crawling around but sometimes floors are streaked with mud or grocery juices. Things can get slippery so be careful! Also, unturned stock tends to sit on shelves gathering dust. Fortunately, WELCOME Fresh Food is one of the cleanest Asian grocery shops I've been to so hopefully you won't encounter any problems. Finally the range of products at WELCOME Fresh Food is excellent. It's difficult for a general Asian grocery shop to stock everything - that's why there are specialty Asian grocery shops which will focus on Korean or Indian. WELCOME Fresh Food does a decent range of most South East Asian cooking products. I'm singing their praise higher than usual because they helped me out the other week with a purchase of Kombu (seaweed) which I was unable to find at four other Asian grocery stores in Sunnybank. Trading Hours (Open 7 Days) Monday-Saturday 8.30am-7pm Sunday 9am-6pm Public holiday 9am-6pm Closed on Christmas Day & Boxing Day

This has to be the biggest, busiest Asian supermarket in Sunnybank. Given its size you would expect…read moreit to have the biggest range of produce and as far as I can see, it does. Along with all the usual longer life stuff there's a good sized fresh produce section with vegetables that actually look good, unlike some of the other places where the bok choy falls to one side in protest as soon as you pick it up. One thing I like about this place is that they have more than one check out - I've been in one too many Asian supermarket where I've had to wait for much longer than should be necessary just to buy one item, while I've been stuck behind people buying a week's worth of groceries because there's one measly cash register in the entire place.

I recently ordered food platters from the Deli for a birthday party and was pleasantly surprised…read moreand most impressed by what I received. The food platters were fresh and delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The service was excellent. I will certainly use your services again for future functions and recommend your services to all my family and friends. Thank you so much! Chantal Kirk, Parkinson

Are you are fruit and veg snob? By this, I mean... Do you find yourself only picking the pretty…read moreshaped fruits, in the pretty clean shop? You might want to spend some time on the ugly ducklings and the underdogs because you might surprise yourself- in a good way. Darra is known for its Asian grocery stores, authentic Viet/Chinese restaurants, but this fresh food market in Darra has got to be one of the best here. It may look a bit run down from the outset, but definitely not compromised in terms of stock. The fruit are all good quality but they are not the most good looking. Some are oddly shaped, mismatched and with slight grazes, but still very tasty. In fact, there was a fruit picker who once told me that, big super market chains prefer to pick really traditionally good looking fruit, but it may not necessarily product the best taste. Whereas, small grocers like this are happy to sell on the odd looking ones with good rich flavour at a fraction of the cost. I would urge you all to give these little guys a chance, it's worth it. K & K Fresh Food Market don't just sell fresh fruit and veg produce, they also have an extensive range of Asian canned and packet goods inside the store. You will find a massive range in noodles from thin rice noodles to thick egg noodles, a variety of rice and packeted frozen meats. There is plenty of Asian cooking oil, sauces, seasonings, spices and more to be found here at considerably low prices to that in Woolies or Coles. If you are planning on making an Asian dish, I would highly recommend going to this ethnic grocer, K & K's, as opposed to a bit chain supermarket, so you can get the most authentic flavours at a fraction of the cost. I would also like to add, that this place is quite busy on weekends particularly on a Sunday where there is often a rush of people after mass investing in their weekly household goods.

shopped 20th January 2025. As usual the bakery section was severely depleted, the deli consists of…read morenum reduced items due to poor stock management, the fresh meat deli once again had no chicken breast ( not everyone in Calamvale only eats chicken feet). the fruit and veg department was in its usual barely average condition (go to Pimpama store to see how it's done) and finally the freezer section was untidy and not well kept, (once again go to the Ormeau store to see how it should be kept) this store desperately is in need of an overhaul both in fit out in in their management team.

I shopped at Woolworths in Calamvale Central at 2:25 PM on the 2nd of August 2024. The staff…read moremember, Karen, spoke to me in a very rude tone and manner. She turned all four of my pizzas upside down after scanning, smashed my hard candy against the register, and then threw it into my trolley. Everyone has a bad day sometimes, but it's never an excuse to take out your anger on a customer. The store manager should review the CCTV footage(I provided the exact time of the issue above) and ensure Karen receives additional training. I deserve an apology and will continue sharing this terrible shopping experience on other social media platforms if Woolworths does not respond. Just found that Karen has earned several one stars from other customers at Google Review but nobody from Woolie followed up so far!

This big Asian grocery store stocks all the pantry staples plus a whole lot more. There is fresh…read moreproduce, which stocks hard to find vegetables like bitter melon, okra and long melon. There is also the Fish Shop (the trading hours for this are a little different to the main supermarket), frozen produce, sauces and pastes, crockery and cooking utensils, confectionery and more varieties of drinks than you can imagine. They conveniently split the isles into the different countries and styles of food too- Japanese, Korean, Philippines. However you will still get lost in this place and will spend all afternoon walking up and down the isles. Head up the back for a huge range of teas - both teabags and loose-leaf tea. You can find so many varieties of Chinese green teas and Oolong teas, plus more varieties of tea I don't even know, at half the price of fancy tea shops like Tea2 and The Tea Centre. I got a 227g tin of Oolong tea for $10, which is more than half the price of 250g of Oolong tea from Tea2.

So you already know that out of all the amazing Asian grocery stores in Sunnybank, this one is the…read morebest, but I feel compelled to tell you about the recent discoveries I made here. First, they have the cheapest green tea around, plus a lot of other herbal tea flavours you can't find anywhere else. This earns a big, fat stamp of approval from me. In my opinion the range of tea available in most supermarkets is incredibly boring and unadventurous, so I was very excited to come across their wall of tea at the back of the store. Second, a friend and I were wandering through the store, searching for something exciting for dinner when we saw dumplings (many, many, many types and flavours). There were many brands and numerous fridges full of them. We eventually decided to try some prawn ones, but we didn't expect too much since they came frozen in a packet. They were absolutely delicious, just as good as the ones I've had in restaurants, and they were amazingly cheap. A packet of twelve was something like four dollars. I plan to return once everything that's currently occupying the space in my freezer has been eaten, and buy a year's supply of these delicious dumplings, which will probably last me about a week.
