  • Erin Mac

Horrible place, i wouldn't recommend anyone vist or shop there. My mother and myself were the only white Australians in there (which is not a bad thing) and as soon as we walked in everyone stared at us like we didnt belong and blatantly ignored us when we needed help or bumped into us and never said excuse me. I bought some snack items to try and the lady who served me was very rude and disrespectful. If you come to Australia to make this place your home, i honestly think you should go above and beyond to be respectful to anyone.

  • Michael Sard

Some staff in the store are lacking of good customer service, particularly the lady in the meat and fish cleaning section. She made us waited for her to finish the trays she was washing before she attended on us, and the tone and here gestures were way unfriendly and rude. I will not definitely come back to the shop again as there lots of other asian grocery shops to chose from along the Parafield area.

Opening hours: Mon-Sat 9am - 6.30pm Sun 9am - 5.30pm Well stocked Asian supermarket, large selection, large vege/butcher section. Always busy. Never heard bad word about it, only good words. Staff are friendly enough. They stock a lesser known product "Lover's Care Goats Milk Shower Wash" which is AWESOME as shampoo for itchy flaky dandruff scalp and skin care. Enjoy going there. Recommended.

  • anu rose wilson

I get all the Asian vegetables, fresh fish(especially snapper), and meat in a very reasonable price and quality... Also there are some useful Asian fruit and veg plants including guava, drumstick, Lychee, jasmine, curry leaves... And lot more... Love this place... It's a bit crowded most of the time, but I don't mind as I get everything I need from there..

  • Dipak

Very rude staff. wanted to talk to the manager/owner about the staff. They refused to give me the number of the owner or let me talk to the owner. Not going back there again. They also sell rotten vegetables. Friend of mine bought Banana flower for $20 and threw in the bin as inside was completely rotten. Overall price is higher than market price.

  • Fahad Rahman

Most of the time I have seen four people at the counter-this place gets that busy! Variety of foods, seasonal vegetables and fruits. We bought some really tasty mangoes that I could not find anywhere else. Some rare Asian products too. Good collection of fresh fishes-they clean and cut them for free. Car Park available at the front.

  • elise romeo

Extremely rude service. Have been here on a few occasions and they always serve people they know before you, despite there being a line. I was the only white Australian in the store and was blatantly stared at and made to feel uncomfortable. Ladies at the checkout and the lady at the deli is very rude in particular.

  • Jun Ma

I went there often. In general I am satisfied with the store until I just casually checked the price list and then found out I was charged more than the price on the tab. It takes a lot more time to fix. And it appears they do not feel sorry and shameful at the mistake. I would ask other customers to take care.

  • Mariana Feleppa

I love going to this place as it is very cosmopolitan all the food is so fresh they sell fresh fish meat a big variety of Asian food the shop is very clean and is always hustling and bustling with the chit chat of shoppers buying their weekly or daily produce go on check it out you will love it ciao matiana

  • Kastytis Grigonis

Excellent Asian Grocer serving the Hmong and Cambodian communities in particular. Great range of all Asian goods. 7 day butcher, fresh, frozen and pantry items as well as utensils and a whole lot more. Particularly worth a visit on the weekend when fresh sweet treats are available in abundance.

  • Vernon Tree

I have a Filipino partner, very fussy when it comes to meat. She says aussie meat has a smell, so gets all her meat here as it has no smell. They cater to a large community, so most everyday items are available. Great service, very pleasant and helpful. You will enjoy your shopping visit here.

  • Patrick Mann

Like being at my grandma's house, with most of the store staff speaking Khmer gossiping about who knows what. Have a very broad range and great meat selection. I'd consider this the top Asian grocery in Adelaide, except when you're stuck with a checkout lady who's on the phone.

  • Lee Gatty

Really well stocked shop, you can pretty much find any type of Asian food here, also probably the biggest of it's type in the Northern suburbs. Keep in mind that if you want ingredients for Indian food, then you may want to visit a dedicated Indian grocery store.

  • Kiki

Has literally everything. Seafood range is impressive and of course fresh veggies and spectacular herbs. Staff are generally pleasant enough, though a few tend to look at you as if you don't know what you're doing. My go to for everything Asian and delicious.

  • Mary Zheng

Can buy fresh vegetables and meat. Variety of frozen food as well. All the dried food sections are plenty to shop. Have a free parking spot as well. Just C0.05 for the bag or they will offer you to put in the carton box to bring which is good suggestion.

  • William Abel

We do not often get to this place as often as we want. They have everything here. All kinds of wierd vegetables, to dry goods, tapioca flour, fresh fish. Chips to soy snacks, bulk rice, kitchen tools. Very popular, we travel over 60 km and its worth it.

  • Connie Stamoulis

I bought fresh vegetables direct from growers. Fish, meat, oysters and some nibbles like asian made poprice. Got a free tamarind sour soup base., good for meat and seafood soup. Good day for shopping, not like weekend when the shop is full.

  • Ernest Hoskin

Years of shopping at this great Asian store has not disappointed me. Fresh meat, vegies , seafood, are top class , and very cheap as well. Best Asian store in the north. Give World Asian on Catalina Avenue a try, you won't regret it.

  • Shin Nguyen

The vegetables here is fresh most of the time. Quite a good place if you need to get vegetable for yourself. However, need to check carefully for the groceries and dried stuff as they do put expired products on the shelves.

  • Biplob Chakraborty

From outer look you can not determine about this shop. It's much bigger inside. variety of fresh vegetable, meat and fish available in a reasonable price. you won't be disappointed. we would love to go back again.

  • Mick Evans

When it comes to Asian cuisine this place has all the ingredients. Whether its live fish or exotic fruit n veg you'll find it here. The staff are friendly and prices are fair, try it out when next in the area.

  • Mike

Busy little Asian grocery joint. They stock a large range of products and the butcher is cheap compared to major supermarket chains. Has a street market feel so don't expect a very well presented supermarket.

  • Mrs. G

Pretty good shop and the staff is helpful.. I'll give 5 * if they Sell ginger bud flower :) . Lots of variety of Japanese, korean, Indonesians and malay grocery. They also have second shop at Parafield Plaza

  • Trang L

Unfriendly staffs, over charged and told off customer when they come back to double check on price. Lol I never experience anything like that before, feel like you have no rights after left their shop.

  • Mustafizur Rahman

You can get most veggies here and all sorts of noodles and Asian products. You can also get some exotic veggies which are rare elsewhere. It smells though, the whole shop, which is a let down!

  • Matthew Hobbs

Massive range of Asian food n drink and fresh local produce and seafood, all at good prices. Only down size is that due to the massive range and the small store most isles are very narrow.

  • Deep 6

Awesome Asian store, great variety but staff can be great if you're Aussie or frosty and useless almost rude, shame they would sell allot more if they spent the time to help customers

  • Anikke Bukowski

A fantastic range of products, including fresh veg and herbs, meat and seafood, as well as all the pantry staples. Best range for many kilometres around. My favourite Asian grocery.

  • Masanao Moriya

A good selection of fresh Asian veggies, meat & fish. They have recently increased the prices of instant noodles, which are no longer competitive in price with other supermarkets.

  • Hoa Ho

Some staff in the store are lacking of good customer service. Unfortunately, the staff at counter, they are unfriendly. I bought stuff and pay I’m not ask for free. Bad service.
