Looking for Asian supermarkets in Valencia? From Thai grocery stores to Japanese markets and South Asian spice shops, the city now has a growing number of places to buy authentic Asian ingredients.
Thank you to all the Pont de Valencia readers who shared their favorite spots. We’re building a directory of international food resources in Valencia, and this list is a great start.
In this guide, we’re focusing on Asian grocery stores and supermarkets. We’ll follow up soon with a separate post on Asian restaurants in Valencia.
If you discover a new shop, let us know, and we’ll add it to the list.
Hiper Asia (Bailén)
Address: C/ de Bailèn, 7
The largest Asian supermarket in Valencia and a great place to start. Several Pont de Valencia readers recommend it for the basics: giant sacks of jasmine and basmati rice, soy sauce, ponzu, sesame oil, tofu, and fresh produce like kai lan and lotus root.
You’ll also find rice cookers, cooking gadgets, and Asian homewares. Bonus: a small Latino section with Goya products and a fun selection of Asian snacks.
Yuen Tong (Bailén)
Address: C/ de Pelai, 30
Styled after Japan’s upscale convenience stores, this bright and well-organized shop also serves bubble tea and other treats. It focuses mostly on packaged foods, though there’s some produce.
It’s a good spot for Southeast Asian ingredients. I often stop here for Indonesian sambal, rujak sauce, and emping crackers made from melinjo seeds.
Bonasia (Bailén)
Address: Carrer del Matemàtic Marzal, 25
Not the easiest place to browse, but Ray swears by it for Asian condiments. This small shop is packed floor-to-ceiling with ingredients and offers an impressive variety in a tight space.
You’ll also find crossover staples used in African cooking, including yams and cassava.
Yu Asia Supermercado (Bailén)
Address: C/ de Bailèn, 38
One of the newer Asian supermarkets in Valencia. The store is clean, spacious, and easy to navigate.
I haven’t visited yet, but Pont de Valencia’s Danny Brody recommends the fresh produce and Korean frozen dumplings after chatting with the owners.
Dawfood (Plaza España)
Address: C/ de Sant Francesc de Borja, 14
Valencia’s Thai grocery store. Michelle and I both recommend it for Southeast Asian cooking essentials, including harder-to-find ingredients like dried shrimp for pad thai.
Michelle suggests calling ahead to check when fresh deliveries arrive—makrut lime leaves, galangal, and bird’s eye chillies go quickly. They also carry Southeast Asian homewares, including my favorite grass broom for sweeping up Valencian dust.
They also run the Thai restaurant Nam Prik, which we’ll cover in a future post.
Gastro Japon (Mercado de Ruzafa)
Address: Pl. del Baró de Cortés, 9
This small market stall punches above its weight with Japanese staples, plus a few sakes and shochus.
Pro tip from Michelle: pick up fresh ramen toppings on Fridays and Saturdays for an easy homemade ramen night.
Yuzuya (Ruzafa)
Address: C/ de la Reina Na Maria, 8
Another newer addition to Valencia. This tidy shop feels more like a curated Asian convenience store.
Ben recommends it for packaged foods and snacks. There’s no fresh produce, though—you’ll need to head to Bailén for that.
Taj Mahal (Ayora)
Address: C/ del Dr. Manuel Candela, 22
The grand-daddy of South Asian supermarkets in Valencia. This is Sangeeta’s place to stock up on spices, pani puri, okra, and more.
You’ll also find cross-over foods like plantains, yerba mate, and a few British staples. The shop includes a halal butcher and often sells fresh samosas.
Valencia Insider Tip
Short on time but forgot cilantro or coconut milk?
Try your neighborhood frutería, often run by South Asian families. Many keep coriander (and sometimes fresh chillies) in their coolers along with other Asian staples.
And if you’re craving a proper cup of builder’s tea, you’ll often find PG Tips on the shelf.
