2) Alimentation Asiatique Thao

3) Uchitomi (Japanese store)

F 021 312 40 02
E lausanne@uchitomi.ch

Perhaps others have more to add to this list.

Isn't there already a thread with several listed in Lausanne?
Maybe this could get merged into that one?

I'm sorry, I'm new to this site but from my search through the threads and tags, I only came across the asian stores in Zurich. (http://www.englishforum.ch/tags/ethnic-food/) Nothing were listed for Lausanne. Please feel free to merge this if there was another thread. Or should this be merged into the Zurich asian stores thread too? I'm not sure...

I looked for the thread that MiniMia suggested, but couldn't find it. Anyway, I'd like to add one more to the list. I don't know the address but it is on Rue de la Borde, when coming up from Place de la Tunnel it is after about 100 metres, on the left-hand side. It should be easy to spot, there are Asian vegetables spilling onto the sidewalk the shop is so full of food.

I guess the older one should be merged into this one as Asian is more general than Indian:

Hi All,
Last Saturday I took the effort to check out all of the four Asian stores that were listed in this thread. Mind you that I am biased towards cooking Japanese!

1) Tan Tan: Rue du Simplon 47
Size-wise the largest store of the four, besides pottery mainly dry ingredients geared towards the Thai/Indian cuisine. some fresh vegetables.

2a) Alimentation Asiatique Thao: Ave des Jordils 4
2b) Asia Kim Dung: Rue Chaucrau 6
I group these two stores together; the smallest of the four, good fresh produce, small selection of ingredients.

3) Uchitomi: Ruelle Grand-Saint-Jean 5
I have to say i was quite impressed with this store. In Amsterdam I was spoilt by an abundance of great Japanese stores and this one is up there. Very large selection of ingredients, spices, sake, pottery, etc. The place to be if you like cooking Japanese!

Hi all!

Considering it's 2011, can anyone confirm that these grocery stores still exist? Their websites sure don't...

I am looking for a place to buy rice (I'm flexible... I usually eat chinese-style), oyster sauce, and perhaps seaweed for sushi or seasoned laver for snacking on.

Hi,
I'm not sure about the others but I know that Tan Tan is definitely still there.

Uchitomi still exists.

And there is also a chinese grocery store right outside Renens station. It's open until 8p.m. - even on sundays!

This one is definitely still there


I think this is the Fleurs d' Asie one right by the station at Renens.



These are the two stores I use the most!

The one at Jordils is still there, it's my fave.

Merci bien!

Thanks all! go.... RICE!
