I love this place. It's got a myriad of Asian food stuffs - most of which I don't have the…read morefoggiest of what they are. But if I learnt to cook well, went to a Chinese/Korean/Thai/Japanese cooking class I bet I'd find all the ingredients I need here. I walked down the stairs and felt like I was in a foreign land - blonde and blue eyes I stood out like a sore thumb. A bit of a stickler for looking at ingredients on packaging I need to befriend someone who reads Chinese/Japanese/Cantonese/Mandarine so that I know what I'm buying exactly. Perhaps I should start learning to cook first! They stock everything from fresh fruit and vegetables with a range of Chinese vegetables, noodles, sauces, condiments, frozen dim sum, snack foods, iced teas and drinks.

Okay, so, thing the first: CHEAP-ASS FRUIT & VEG. We're talking $1.99kg tomatoes, $2.50kg cucumbers, $1.20 bunches of coriander, $1.50 bundles of delicious garlic shoots that I've only just learned how to cook, and every kind of almost-costs-more-not-to-buy-them bok choys, choy sums, and about a billion other variant of the same. I buy all my fresh schtuff here now, way cheaper than Coles & Woolies and really good quality. Freezers, entire freezers, of dumplings! Welcome to the promised land, son. Pre-packed, wafer-thin beef and pork rolls to drop into your instant ramen noodles, millions of soy and oyster sauces, billions of chilli oils, gummis, Poki, bamboo shoots, it's happy hour at the freaking flavour factory and you've got the golden ticket. Of course, at least half of this place is things that I don't recognise and will probably never try (read: weird, so weird) but I try one new thing every time I come here. Doesn't always pay off, but 1 in 3 times it does. Like the chilli oil with cured pork chunks that's now my new favourite condiment, holler. Just don't buy the garlic that's imported from China - it's bleached, and the girl at Cornersmith Picklery told me it goes bright blue when pickled, naaaasty.

But hey, if you're ever scraping the bottom of your bank account and jonesing for your next payday, swing by on a Wednesday for $2 sandwiches and wraps.

There's not many of them really left now, and they wouldn't schlep down to the corner store in their thongs and footy shorts for discount Wednesday I don't think.

It's so good - completely obsessed with it and I bought another non-Japanese items, which was Bundaberg Lemonade.

My only problem with them is that they are no longer open on Saturdays and parking is at a premium. So I might try their on-line ordering sometime in the future. One of the best shops I have been too. All the best!

Rude, unprofessional and untrustworthy trader. The…read morefollowing is my awful experience with the trader: About 3 weeks ago, I visited the store and bought 2 bags. When I left the store, 1 bag was leaking. when I put it on the ground, it broke. I collected its contents in another bag and left. Subsequently I made 3 further visits and bought 3 other bags. 2 weeks ago, I emailed the trader seeking an order of 15 bags/ month. The trader agreed and emailed me the order will be ready in the first week of may and I need to pay for the first week at the store. In 1 May. I emailed the trader to enquire about my order. The trader refused to honour our agreemen. Today I emailed the trader that I'll never buy any product from their store again due to their dishonest conduct. Subsequently the trader made false statements in reply to my negative review of its store. My post is just a warning to potential shoppers that this trader is a rude and dishonest person.
