Wing Yip

North Londoners can stock up on their Oriental provisions here. Buy in bulk and it works out cheaper. It must be good stuff, as the restaurants stock up from here too! VAT is charged separately, and added at check out so business buyers can claim their VAT back. There is also car parking, necessary, if you are bulk buying or just stocking up.
It is a really welcoming supermarket, and in the same complex is the Wing Tai Restaurant and the Reindeer Café, a «Cha Chaan Teng», low-​cost cafeteria-​stye «tea restaurant» that are very popular in Hong Kong. Go to the restaurant for a pitstop dim sum lunch or meal, or go to the café for the best crispy roast duck and rice meal. Very much better than Chinatown in the West End and very generous portions. And finish off with a lovely tart, gâteau or bun from the bakery within the café.
A good idea to eat before you shop, as there is so much to tantalise you in the supermarket, and you end up buying far too much when you are hungry!

Since the Japanese oriental centre closed in Colindale this place has become one of the best places to buy asian food and delicacies from across East Asia. The only downside id the parking area is not big enough to contain the crowds.

Without a doubt the best Asian supermarket in London. You can find nearly everything here, from 20 kilo bags of rice (which we tend to purchase 2 or 3 at a time), to pallets of special corned beef, cooking implements, and my favorite isle, CANDY! Make sure your car is empty when you arrive, as it will be full when you leave.

Everyone with asian blood in them should regard Wing Yip as London’s food mecca. I know for sure my Mama snorts with disgust at the piddly bags of rice at Tescos and holds out for bulk buying sacks of rice heavier than me at Wing Yip.
Initially this warehouse space was aimed for wholesale so you can easily get mammoth supplies of rice, noodles and soya sauce. But Wing Yip also has every aspect of asian cooking on lock-​down including Korean, Thai and Filipino (YES!) as well as some of the more exotic fruit, veg and random ingredients that can be so tricky to find.
After its recent overhaul it’s certainly a lot less intimidating and perfectly fills the hole that the now sadly deceased Oriental City left and the pricey Chinatown just doesn’t cater to.

Comprehensively stocked Chinese/​Oriental (Thai, Japanese, Korean etc) supermarket with wholesale section — handy if you need to bulk buy disposable food containers, cleaning products, paper carrier bags etc.
I even found gypsum power (for food use and for making tofu) there today!!!
If you are looking for large bags of bicarbonate of soda, they do them at around £2.40 for 2 kilos I think. Look in the dried goods section for various flavouring powders and spices e.g. curry power, ground cumin.
Comprehensive stocks of frozen dim sum, shellfish and hard to find veg like sliced lotus root.

Wing Yip is a fantastic store in a warehouse. It sells all the Chinese groceries you can think of, from dumplings to soya sauce. It also sells Japanese and Thai ingredients and products too! They sell fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, fish and snacks. Everything oriental you need is under one roof! They even sell Chinese bowls, cutlery and cooking utensils! The shop is also open to wholesale so many restaurants buy their stock from here. The Cricklewood branch has undergone a major face lift and is looking fantastic with a new pagoda style building outside. This makes it really stand out. There is also a Chinese restaurant there if you get hungry whilst shopping, and further plans for a bank and a bakery to open up soon.

This is my favourite Chinese Supermarket in west London, and just near Ikea just in case you fancy combining the two. Have a wonder down the aisles and buy something a bit different. There are plenty of authentic ready made sources to choose from, and all the Chinese, Thai, and Japanese ingredients that you need to be able to cook your favourite Asian dishes from scratch (inc alcohol). There is a meat counter, and also fridges for fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits.
