Asian supermarket in Tel Aviv

I did a search on Google and there seems to be a Chinese grocery, but the address listed does not show up on Google maps.
Thanks!

    There is an Asian supermarket in the middle of the Carmel market (shuk) called East-West.
    They have soy sauce and other Asian sauces as well as galangal, ginger and fresh tumeric (last time I was there it was out of stock so best to call first) http://www.eastwest-food.co.il/ntext....

      I don't know if this question is still relevant, but the best place for Chinese grocers is on or around Newe Sha'anan St. near the central bus station. The biggest one is a place called Dragon on Rosh Pina St. just off Newe Sha'anan. This is the only place in Tel Aviv where I was able to find peanut oil.

      There are also two good Indian grocers on Levinski St. at or next to the central bus station.

        I recently got lost around Newe Sha'anan and ended up having the greatest Asian grocery store experience. If only a fraction of that could make it's way to Jerusalem.

      There are 2 Asians store in the shuk (one in the centre, behind the stalls and one at the far end across from the park). There are also some Philipino stores in the New Central Bus station and an Asian spice store in the Levinsky Street Market. What are you looking for?

        Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean by shuk?
        Nothing in particular, thought I'd go to the store and figure it out on the spot. Whichever one has the best assortment of food products.

          The Carmel Market (Shuk HaKarmel). You must visit it if you are in TA! It's the best and least expensive place to buy fruits, vegetables, eggs, cheeses, meats, fish, lots of tourist junk, and prepared foods.http://www.telavivguide.net/Attractio...

            Gotcha. Yeah I have visited the market, though in my previous visit I didn't keep an eye out for Asian food items. I'll check it out this upcoming weekend. Thanks!
