Oriental Express york

It looks small, but it is quite packed with all range of Asian food, ingredient and even some appliances such as rice cooker. Chinese food and ingredients are obviously the most diverse, followed by Japanese and Korean, and finally some Indian and Vietnamese ingredients. If you want to stock up on instant noodles, this place is probably one of the cheapest. Frozen food also have excellent range, and some that you can't get from the supermarket. Very close to University of York (therefore the bus there is free).

if youre SEA's citizen, you know you'll love the store

Love this place. Not big but got what we want. The owners are very nice. Good to have an Asian shop we like.

Lovely owner and awesome to have a local place to get hold of ethnic far East food (growing up you only found these kinds of places in the larger cities like Leeds/Manchester).

I sometimes drop by Oriental Express when I am in need of Chinese food supplies and to stock up on my Japanese Ramen and they always deliver. Food prices are reasonable and the owner is a quiet but helpful fellow. I've dealt with lots of store owners that talk too much when I'm doing grocery shopping so this is a nice change.

Go here for spices, noodles, soy sauces etc. There are things you can buy in bulk here that are either unavailable or shamefully overpriced in tiny glass bottles in supermarkets. Not as convinced about the quality or freshness of perishables though.

Enormous collection, owner and wife are hard working people, please try and enjoy oriental products

Lovely shop with a great range of Chinese and oriental groceries . Helpful staff, willing to advise.

I walked in when just opening in a haze of buying tofu. The lady helped me find items and made recommendations for alternatives when i told her what i was making. She even told me how to make dumplings. I would definitely recommend. Super friendly and great selection!

Nice owners. Good supermarket for Chinese food
