Chinese Grocery Store

Are you looking for a place where to buy Chinese/Japanese foodstuff in Bucharest and have so far only found dried layers of seaweed (nori), Japanese horseradish (wasabi) and soy sauce in the shelves of the big supermarket chains? If the answer is yes, I have good news for you (if the answer is no, please have a look at the last sentence of this post!):

I discovered a decent little Chinese grocery store (no Japanese products though) in Colentina. If you head north-east from Obor on Şoseaua Colentina, it’s after Strada Sportului on the right side, directly on Şoseaua Colentina. If you take tramway nr. 21, get off at “Sportului”. The shop is right in front of the tramway station, you can’t miss it! It’s open from 8:30 to 12:00 and 13:00 to 18:00 from Mondays to Fridays, on Saturdays they close already at 15:00.

I know, it’s quite a ride out there, but maybe you want to combine it with a visit to the famous Chinese market “Dragonul Roşu” (I will write more about it in one of my next posts).

By the way, if you know any shops selling Japanese products or Tofu in Bucharest, I would be grateful for a comment!
