Me and my family have been going for years!! We absolutely love it. I went there today on my own and I brought lots of nice food that you can't get anywhere else! We ate in the cafe too and that is also delicious which lots of food, I have spent a fortune on food from the supermarket today because it's soo good!! I absolutely love it, we have never had a bad experience there all the time we have been customers!! We LOVE it and I loved it today. The drinks are good aswell! My sister says she loves the drinks the shop has and in the cafe!! As does myself.

My favourite Chinese supermarket in MK. Great range of stock at good prices. Very friendly staff. I love going here and stocking up on all my favourites, and trying new stuff too.

G. W.

This is a great Asian wholesalers. Been here a few times now. They are always friendly and have a great selection of products. They have a restaurant with hot food. I'm still to try this, it always smells great.

M. D.

Lovely place but a bit hidden away. The staff is super friendly. You have to wear mask and gloves when you come in. If you don't have any, they will sell you a mask and provide free gloves. From household products to canned food, fresh produce and frozen foods you can find anything in here.

B. A.

Fantastic selection of products, really lovely staff, always happy to help. There have been some renovations to restaurant and front of house recently. We recommend Mii & U and the shop to anyone who will listen!! 10/10

S. H.

Discovered this amazing Asian supermarket near A5 in MK and I am so impressed with the huge array of speciality food and choices. Prices can be a little steep but assume it must be import charges. If you love Asian produce you can't go far wrong and you can even sample products in their restaurant. Delicious and huge portions too. Very friendly and helpful staff. I am addicted to mochi so stocked up and also a few extras for my pal back home in Scotland who loves Korean cuisine. Win:win.

R. P.

Hidden gem, everything you need for oriental cooking. Come here regularly and everything is well laid out and staff very helpful. Yet to try the restaurant but heard brilliant things so will be back!

S.

I love this place, you can always find what you're looking for and when your done they have a cafe 🙂 The cafe has had a revamp and looks very nice, I didn't have time to stop off this time

M. M.

Good shop for specialist Asian ingredients. Restaurant attached is good too.

P. M.

A very good selection of Asian food and not too expensive

J. K.

Just the place we've been looking for to get our Hong Kong and Asian foods. Spent a lot but well stocked up now!

V. R.

Varied stock, but a bit on the small side, so didn't find everything I needed.

A. V.

I'm so glad I moved near this shop! I am definitely trying new recipes soon. They sell everything and the prices are decent! We went with the intention of spending £10 just to try something new and ended up spending £40 but could have done £100 without a doubt. Can't wait for the restaurant to open for table service too.

P.

One of a kind. Plenty of Asian products to choose from and the restaurant is very good as well.

D. M.

Huge array of Asian foods covering all cuisines, including fresh produce. Lots of kitchen equipment you just don't find in UK cookware shops. All at very reasonable prices. Well worth the detour.

H. m.

Great cafe and food always good! Highly recommend it!

J. M.

Love this shop but I like Chinese food... they have a restaurant in there now so can't wait to try it ....

A. E.

Shelves well stocked and with 2 checkouts open there were no queues. The range of Asian ingredients appears to have expanded since my previous visit. Always a pleasant experience.

A. M.

We went in for soju. The place looks great, there's a wide variety of stuff available there from a wide variety of cuisine. We saw lots of things that was otherwise very expensive in other places and popular high street shops. There was also a restaurant on site, which seemed very popular, and also smelled amazing! Would highly recommend.

N. G.

Can't beat it great Asian produce, both fresh and dry. Vegetables are great and has allowed me to experiment by cooking my own Asian food such as laksa and Thai curry. The restaurant is top class as well recommended to everyone

J. S.

Great Asian food wholesaler with all the staples. The only problem is that they do run out of staple products every now and then which forces me to drive to the other wholesaler in MK. The prices are fair and selection is huge. The attached restaurant is amazing.

V. M.

Very well stocked with lots of essentials for for almost all Asian cooking but particularly east Asian. Fresh groceries included, frozen meat and fish also available. The restaurant attached is wonderful too!

K. A.

Very good selection, found what I wanted and left with some gifts too!

M. T.

Amazin choice of food and utensils but over the top prices

J. C.

Fantastic store, but main reason for me to visit is restaurant and take away. Restaurant has had refurb and its looking much more better then it used to. Staff always helpful and friendly, and the most important part is that food is always good and tasty. To me it's a best oriental food in Milton Keynes,

B. H.

Good choice of food cooked while you wait or do takeaway parking can be difficult if busy

J. G.

Great place for Chinese cooking ingredients. Lots of other Chinese earthenware, decorations, moon cakes when in season. Cakes from Chinatown. Korean and Japanese food. Love the cafe. Very helpful staff, recommend

V. H.

Always loved this place and the new refurb has definitely improved the look of this place. Food always nice but I do feel the spice level has been toned down since before I last went before the pandemic. Still satisfied and will be returning.

C. R.

Out of the 3 central Orientals this is the better one. Has a wider range of good quality food and normally a casual eat in facility. The restaurant at the moment is undergoing refurbishment. I really appreciate the rule for all customers having to wear face masks and gloves. Makes me feel safe when shopper. Thanks.

S. B.

Love this supermarket as it has everything you could want plus they have had a massive restocking of the store after a period when they could not get supplied. Best thing about this supermarket is that it's next door to mii and u restaurant which is the number one in MK. Its in a different league

J. S.

Great place to buy things you won't usually find at the big supermarkets, such as kimchi or various different noodles. Also they have their restaurant which is amazing, especially love their chicken Laksa - so filling and yummy. Definitely recommended.

C. W.

Unbelievably good food and at such good prices. Every meal delicious. Staff always friendly. Been done up since our last visit.

V. S.

Great food! And the shop has everything you need!

S. 7.

Always a great range of Asian food and friendly staff. Mainly Thai, Japanese and Chinese food and drink for sale. Keep an eye on the sell-buy dates though. ;)

P. 1.

This was my first time eating here, it was very clean, staff are friendly, Service was great food was fantastic and great value, younger a good sized portions. Will be coming back again.

T. K.

The best place to buy oriental ingredients. Highly recommend their pancake rolls, prawns, samosas & crab claws, just the same as the restaurants use. Great place to buy sauces at a fraction of the cost at supermarkets

M. M.

Nice shop, pretty much had everything you could need to make a wide selection of meals. And a restaurant on site. Not disabled friendly shop though aisles too narrow

J. D.

My favorite shop in MK. Great products and friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended.

C. G.

I love this place. The shop is so full of variety, there is so many Asian products and so many different brands. Also, it is so easy to find gluten-free, wheat-free, lactose-free products and the prices are really good. And of course, you can go to the restaurant!! A sure stop in Milton Keynes!!

J. P.

Very good place for all your bit to cook Japanese and Chinese food

S.

Updating review after being a pretty regular customer for 3 years. Just wanted to say that we went there today for the first time since lockdown, and it’s the safest we have felt in any shop/public space in months. No exaggeration, we went with our own masks and gloves but loved that there was a sign asking people to put masks and gloves on, with some available at the entrance. Staff were incredibly cautious, all of them were wearing masks and keeping their distance despite the narrow aisles, and as always were incredibly welcome and kind. We tend to buy a lot of staples predominantly for Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean cuisines, and 9/10 we manage to get what we’re looking for every time... as well as a bunch of other things we didn’t have on our list. Every time we go in there something new catches our eye. Worth noting right now (July 2020) they are doing some refurb on the cafe, looks like they’re still cooking but there weren’t any bakery items on sale at this time either. If the staff/owners read this- thanks so much for making your customers feel safe and thanks too for stocking the best frozen chicken karaage!

S. S.

Diverse range of authentic oriental products at competitive prices. Also the restaurante Mii&U is an absolute bargain and is much more high end than takeaways, but pretty much the same price.

D. D.

The food is really delicious but go with an open mind as dishes aren't quite as westernised as your average ' Chinese ' takeaway.

S. R.

Convenient for Milton Keynes as there is not an oriental supermarket nearby. Prices are a bit high compared to other supermarkets. Restaurant was recently renovated and looks clean, and their food is ok.

J. E.

Great stuff to enhance your oriental cooking

C. R.

Has had a refurb and there is now a lot more room at the tables. Food is still good value and tasty. Only let down by the serving staff that constantly change and are poorly trained in customer service.

E. W.

Patient, helpful staff, good hygiene provisions (masks and gloves supplied for a small charge) and a huge range of ingredients from all over Asia. Particularly like the fresh and frozen section. Also a good range of crockery, cooking utensils and kitchen supplies.

K. B.

Amazing store with everything you could want from a supermarket like this! The prices are probably a tad more than some of the others but the benefit here is that you can get everything in one place. They even had the jackfruit I needed so I came straight here! Situated in an industrial park area, I wasn't sure how easily I'd find it, but simply drive to the end of the road and you can't miss it :)!

G. C.

Just love this supermarket, have used it for years. It may be small but it is mighty. The selection of oriental ingredients is brilliant and good value.

P. N.

Tasty Asian cuisine from variety of countries. Highly recommended. My personal favourite Laksa😍

L. S.

Always call in when I am passing to top up my Chinese ingredients, took my son for his first visit and hge also loved it. Haven't yet tried the cafe/restaurant but definatley will dodost some stage.

R. F.

Used to be good, but prices are getting quite high and service consistently poor in the shop. Restaurant food is good, but low rent environment. White garden plastic tables and chairs all around.

K. K.

Now I love this place for the price and nice food. 100% my go to place for a quick bite at Mi & U. The supermarket has a few things I stock up with monthly so I always grab a cheap lunch before spending on some essentials and nostalgic treats. Everyone I've taken there could not believe the nice portions. For 1st timers get the katsu curry to start then go for a Vietnamese Pho, Korean Bibimbap or a Green Thai Curry. The tempura is nice share meal and why not have an Asian beer to compliment the meal. Great owners and family.Keep up the good work x

C. P.

Absolutely love this place. Really good selection of Chinese food & ingredients. They have recently started stocking some Indian produce too. There is also a takeaway with a few sit in tables next door.

L. K.

This place is amazing! I am an experienced shopper when it comes to this kind of food and I have to say that the variety here is the absolute best I have come across in the Milton Keynes area. This place rocks my world and I love taking a trip down there to get my Oriental food fix. My cupboard is rammed full with noodles from the last time I went there. Everything is very affordable so you will leave with a lot of noodles for your money. They also do a massive range of meats, sweets, soups and sauces too. Fantastic place with friendly and helpful service :) They also have a canteen on site but I have yet to try this.

H. F.

Best Asian store in the area. Been going here for everything I need for over 10 years. Would recommend to anyone needing Asian ingredients.

D. P.

Fabulous freshly cooked food, really lovely friendly staff, a great experience that I would highly recommend.

M. M. U.

Always a brilliant place to find oriental foods and drinks.. we love it.

C. R.

Amazing selection of all things you need to prepare authentic Oriental cuisine. And Mii and U has amazing food that's really affordable (£50 for 5 including fresh juices).

R. H.

Meets most of your oriental dining needs. It was hard finding the place. The sign outside is a little faded and not very clear.

H. G.

Great place to shop and eat lovely as usual staff great

T.

Really great food but most of all, excellent service. Be sure to check opening times.

M. F.

A hidden Gem! Came here with my wife and two daughters on Chinese New year for some food supplies and decorations. Found everything we wanted. Staff are friendly and helpful very kind to my two daughters. We loved shopping here reminded me of shopping in HK minus my Octopus Card. We live in Aylesbury and travel here (Ps open a shop in Aylesbury ;-) ) Look forward to our next visit (Update since our first visit I popped back in for a 2kg bag of prawn crackers ;-p

T. L.

Food is brilliant. Service a bit slow at the moment,.due to covid and staff self isolating; so please allow for that.

W. W.

Great place for oriental ingredients

S. A. M.

Quite a variety of Chinese groceries and food. Variety of Chinese and Asian groceries available to buy. They also have perishable and nonperishable items.

C. H.

Hog heaven! This supermarket has all the goodies you need for proper oriental cooking. An endless range of things I haven't seen since I worked in Hong Kong a few years back. Apart from Chinese, there's Japanese, Korean and all sorts. Sauces, dried noodles, frozen stuff, sweeties, all sorts. Definitely worth a visit. They also seek woks, cool china dish stuff and some vicious looking knives. Also it includes its own restaurant which despite being ugly, does fantastic food

p. s.

Great food as usual but staff a little slow My food arrived five minutes before my daughters

P. A.

Really nice shop, well kept inside and easy to navigate with an amazing array of items. Maybe a little expensive but as far as a one stop shop goes, brilliant.

k. a.

When for a meal at mii &u great food great service

T. I.

Lots of choice from oriental food and groceries could fulfil your dining wishes. You can also enjoy a meal in A small oriental kitchen by its side, food is beyond standard.

S. H.

Good food,l

M. C.

Asian supermarket wide variety of products, decent value, also has a cafe/restaurant which I've eaten very tasty and extremely good value food at many times. I look forward to the restaurant reopening after refurb

h. e.

Best selection of authentic asian produce, chef onsite even seasoned my wok. Recommended fully

M. M.

Excellent well stocked wholesaler, love expanding my horizons with some of their amazing ingredients not found anywhere else.

L. S.

Good place to go to top up on the sauces and spices. They do all sorts including cooking equipment, pots and pans, steamers etc. Tje ree is an onsite restauran/cafe not visited yet but looks good.

B.

Great place for all things Eastern. Good selection of food, spices, sweets, kitchenware. Really nice staff too.

H. R.

Very friendly helpful staff. Fab selection of all ranges of products. Would have loved to have spent more there. But hurried out by father. Well worth the 1 and a half hour drive.

E. S.

Store is so tidy and clean and so eye please to walk-in.. staff are so lovely as my boat today I had to lovely ladies help and suggested amazing stuff.. highly recommend to everyone xxx

S.

It was very busy and service was slow, the drinks took ages to come out. The food was good, it could have been a bit warmer though, but I'm guessing it sat around waiting for someone to bring it out

F. C.

It's great you can get dim sum and the shop has a huge range of Asian foods. They sell beer from the local micro brewery as well.

L. F.

Great place. A massive selection of ingredients, snacks and frozen food

E. M.

M. T.

Can get everything you need to make your own Chinese takeaway and then go into the restaurant and enjoy a nice hot, freshly cooked lunch.

F. B.

I go there for the "me n U" cafe. If you are into chinese, vietnamese, korean, Malaysian foods, this is the place for you..! You can also buy the raw ingredients after you've eaten.... Very busy place...but grest food stuffs.. Enjoy.!...France

k.

Very cool shop, have a lot of selection and cheapish prices. My favourite shop in mk

A. F.

Very friendly staff, very different from the other Chinese supermarket I went on the same day, I found everything I needed, at reasonable prices. I’ll definitely be back soon.

A. B.

Handy for the more traditional chinese goods not readily available in standard UK supermarkets, however, prices have risen sharply over the last few years and many products are available at same price or even cheaper in UK supermarkets.

J. W.

Loads of ingredients in stock very nice shop and take away restaurant looked very nice, we will be back.

D. H.

Authentic delicious food, helpful and friendly staff, highly recommended

M. F.

J. T.

The amazing range of food in the supermarket is matched only by the uncomplicated and wildly tasty food in the canteen. Miss it and miss out.
