Since coming to Auckland I was so happy to find a grocery store that stocks all my favorite and necessary Asian ingredients and fresh veggies at great prices.
There are a plethora of food items to choose from but the veggies are what I come here for. The meat department looks a bit questionable so I stay away from it. Service is not always the best at the cash registers but they are doing their job amongst the long lines, so just be patient.
The place isn’t the cleanest place but I assure you the veggies are fine. Make sure to bag everything so it won’t touch your basket.
My pro-tip: I stick to the veggies, dry food items, and chili sauces (they have a bunch so take your time to find your ideal one!).
Stop by the food court on the way out for a cheap and fast lunch.

A really convenient Asian supermarket in the heart of K rd. It’s pretty massive and needless to say, stocks tons of products. You’re pretty much guaranteed to find most of your Asian cooking needs at this place (I wouldn’t trust the vegetables so much, but condiments, sauces, dried things etc… you’ll find it here). They’ve got woks and over cooking utensils available too. I use to come to this place during high school lunch breaks and after school with my friends to buy up all the lolly’s in cool packaging, just a bit of fun but could be a small novelty for the kids if you’re stuck for things to do! To get to the supermarket you need to walk through the food court (which apparently has some good cheap eats inside).

In my opinion, this is the best Asian Supermarket in the city. Hidden away at the back of an Asian food court on the Queen Street end of K’ Road, it’s absolutely massive and stocks a huge rang of all kinds of Asian foods.
The prices are really good as well, staples like oyster and sweet chilli sauces are much cheaper than you’d find in the likes of Countdown and the range of tinned produce they have is amazing. I didn’t realise just how many types of sauce there is!
Every time I’ve been in, the fruit and veg selection has been great, most of it looks really appealing and they have things like lemongrass, which I’ve found quite hard to come by in other places. My partner loves it because they sell fresh water spinach to make Morning Glory with. Winner.

An odd smell wafts through the entrance to Lim Chhour. Hopefully, it comes from the multitude of restaurants dotted around the doorway. Unfortunately, it could also come from the multitude of people sleeping, also dotted around the doorway. Once you are in Lim Chhour, it’s a whole new world — of weird foods, normal (cheap) foods and unfriendly staff. Yes, if you like going to the supermarket and chatting to the check out girl, Lim Chhour is probably not your kind of place. I did once get a smile — well, I thought I did, it turned out they were smiling at some friend standing behind me who they chatted to the entire time I was getting served. But you don’t go to Lim Chhour for the service — you go for the cheap and plentiful produce and fake meat products.

Take the overpass from the cheapest carpark in Auckland City and you’ll end up in Lim Chhour supermarket. It’s a maze of food from all over Asia — interesting, varied and always cheap.
Lim Chhour’s range of vegetarian protein/fake meat took me by surprise — I never knew you could get vegetarian versions of EVERYTHING. More often than not, everything tastes a little bit sweet for my liking, but the range should have something for every vego. I’m also a fan of the super cheap tofu products in the fridge and the masses of chocolate and sweets. I can’t say the same for the vegetables, which always look a little worse for wear.
