Oriental Warehouse

Rude owners, most items expired beyond years. Avoid!

Andrew & his wife have been running a very good warehouse for many years. We get many of out specialist supplies for the restaurant from here. Best wishes Nik & Marcus

Great find, had a good range of food and other things. Was pleased to see sauces from Thailand which meant they were gluten free by ingredient. I definitely will be back.

One of the most complete Asian store in Christchurch. Easy to park nearby. They have Vietnam coffee and also some asian cooking equipment.

I only go here for the essentials. Tofu always is within 2 days of expiring. The lady at checkout is always on the phone and doesn’t even hang up when scanning your items, nor does she say hello or goodbye. Plain rude.Poor service, poor quality produce and maybe a few nice products, hence 2 stars.

The place my daughters go to pat the cat while I'm buying a daikon or shopping for ingredients. Love the owners and family

Interesting little store with a huge range of Asian goods. Almost a one stop shop. Value for money varies greatly across their range.

Please be aware of their expired food !!! Some are like 4-5 years old .They have fresh stocks inside their stores but still sells the expired stuff on the actual shelves. When I asked them why they do this ? The owner said, he’ll sell what ever he wants and gave a big attitude!Really shocking to see this happening in NZ !!

Okay hear me out.. This shop isn't for everyone. The shop cat, the items that are a few years past the best before date. It isn't great. However, this is the most well stocked Asian shop I have seen in my 12 years in NZ. Yes you can smell the shop before you enter, yes the pricing is complicated with hand written signs, yes you have to check the best before for everythinng, yes the owner is sitting on her phone ignoring you. BUT, this is how you know the shop is authentic. (I'm Malaysian so I'm almost ashamed to admit it feels like the shops back home) lolThe range of noodles, sauces, stocks, coffees, cutleries is enough to make you stand there for an hour googling what it is. It is a place to be adventurous and to try new things. It's authentic but not for everyone. As for the items that's past its best before, it's a simple case of checking and re-checking in my opinion.
