Hi
I shop here http://www.orientalfoodshop.com/ but in their actual shop as they're 1/4 mile down the road from me. As I've never used their online service, I can't advise on what their service is like but the shop has a very wide range of products from a variety of oriental cuisines and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
HTH

http://www.wingyipstore.co.uk/ I havn't used their online shop though as it's near enough for me to go.
Chinese, Thai, Japanese and South East Asian.

I know many Japanese people use this one, but it does not seem to provide English ...

If you copy and paste the link into google, it gives you the option of 'translate'. It then puts it into english, well, sort of. The translation borders on fairly bad to downright hilarious, for example, the L185 Suck As* !! :eek:

But it's better than nothing I suppose! HTH.

I have bought from here before, and can't fault them: http://shop.waiyeehong.com/


I have also heard good things about: http://www.japancentre.com/
though I haven't used them myself.

The japan centre's bento stuff looks cute!

I've not used their online shop before though as they have a store in Glasgow.

ditto on http://www.waiyeehong.com/
It all depends on what you want. This one is good for variety - shipping is not too bad either.

or http://www.wingyip.com/
which doesn't have as much stuff and is a bit hard to use, but is dirt-cheap on products - all the catering size stuff etc.

I think there is also one called japanese kitchen. http://www.japanesekitchen.co.uk/ who are online only - never tried them myself, but have heard good things from a friend.

p.s. just be aware that shipping costs on japancentre don't include VAT. Still not bad, but just something to bear in mind.
