Found my Vietnamese favorite instant noodles here. This shop has good collection of Asian foods, spices, snacks,… and last but not least, a friendly meow 😍 This is a big shop and they have plenty of stocking, mindfully check the expired date of products before buying.

Tired Oriental Warehouse for the first time today. I'd seen reviews about expired food, but ignored them. Don't. We bought tofu and only discovered had been relabelled once we opened it and something wasn't right. It was so far beyond expired that it had to go straight into the garbage bin outside. It was rank. Do not shop here.

This place is wonderful, such a good range, you can spend hours going through everything. Found my favourite vegan drumsticks and vegetarian belecan which I use for homemade sambal. Staff were super helpful and had good suggestions when I approached them. I love the feel of the place, might not be to everyones taste but for me it's as it should be.

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) lol
The 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.
