Reviews of Wah Lee Co Ltd
K.
This is a living history of Chinese grocery stores. I went there ages ago. Now they have all sorts of other stuff rather than just Chinese food or utensils. They are now stockist for some local artisan products. I like to browse their random stuff - there will always be a wonderful surprise. I found a few artefacts from my childhood memories. One of the shop staff is a European gentleman who is very kind.
A.
One of commercial Auckland's hidden gems, this retailer has been part of the city for generations. Any Far- Eastern products you need, they probably have them. To get a taste, check their cool website. Definitely worth a visit!
F.
This store is an experience in itself. It smells lovely from the bulk spices. Lanterns hang from the ceiling and every shelf is stocked and brimming with useful things and curiosities. Much more instore than online. This is a true emporium. If you're looking for things from Asia, you'll probably find them here.

We used to buy Chinese Thundercrackers from Wah Lee's in the 1960s. Fabulous selection particularly for 8 and 9 year old boy's. My photo has me on the far left and my Brother Gary on the far right . This was taken in 1969 by the NZ Herald and published.
C.
Definitely a gem shop that everyone should visit. Full of southeast Asia culture ingredients and products.

One of the most cherished, and oldest, Chinese emporiums in Auckland. Major merchants for many decades.
The Wah Lee family are a leading merchant family in this city and renowned for their dedicated commitment to customers. This is a must visit place.
Old style with a unique Chinese Auckland character. Wah Lee has to be experienced. This is a truly wonderful place that I've been visiting for 50 years. The best rice paper blinds and lampshades in the country. This is the place to go for bulk rice and grains.
If you've never been here; please go and spend an hour there. You'll be a convert to this revered family's commitment to Auckland. You will be welcomed by the Wah Lee family and friends. Totally wonderful!
P.
They have always had everything your heart could desire plus extras... council needs to give them more parking spots
D.
This place has been here forever . Proprietor was so nice and I remember him from 30 years ago . Great to see some places are still here . Went for fireworks great place
E.
I'm not exactly sure how they did it? But I live on the opposite side of Auckland to where the Wah Lee store is located and it only took them a few hours to deliver my items... They definitely deserve a 5 star review and I WILL be shopping online with them again!!! Also I'm very happy with my purchase, the rice paper is top quality.
H.
Great little shop of surprisingly amazing and unique things.. also selling fireworks for guy fawks day..
J.
The owners are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Called beforehand and was reassured that they had everything I needed to purchase a new carbon steel wok and tools to prepare and season it correctly. A big variety of other Chinese kitchen goods and Asian pantry staples as well.
Parking can be a bit tricky, but there is some down a side alleyway, I missed the entrance and on Hobson St, you can't turn back easily so make sure you keep an eye out!
R.
I will be coming back here regularly. Barry the owner is absolutely AMAZING!
S.
Wonderful and neat shop. Lovely customer service. Unique items!
B.
A shop that has everything that you need. you come looking for one thing and end up finding a whole lot of other things. They have food, spices, tea pots, teas and more. Definitely a place to try if you are looking for something.
J.
They have got the most random things you would not expect. Really friendly owners as well!
L.
As a new immigrant to New Zealand, the moment I walked into this shop, it gave me a different feeling, it was a feeling that brings me back to the old days when Asian shops, food, and culture just arrived in New Zealand. A kind of Nostalgia. Any other Asian Shop/supermarkets never pass this to me.
D.
Old-fashioned Asian grocery with almost everything you can imagine. Most of all, Asian seeds!
R.
Barry and I became friends recently, when I stumbled across his store online! The gentleman is an absolutely joy to communicate with, and with me being a customer in the US, he was more the accommodating in making sure my order arrived fast and in great condition. I certainly appreciate and admire such a person of honor and top-notch character, and I look forward to supporting this legendary landmark in the future! Cheers!
A.
Amazing little store for predominantly Asian home ware. Great staff who are are friendly, patient and informative. Revising my review to 5 stars.
C.
Great place to buy Latin or South American Products like the Harina PAN flour, Masalista (Mexican Flour), Palmitos( Heart of Palm), Panelas (unrefined whole cane sugar), Malta Polar, Guarana Antártica and many more.
A.
Quick send off one order was placed.. Great quality. Have yet to use the big bubbles but when I do will give final rating. Thank you so much for excellent service.
A.
This is a great shop, full to bursting with interesting Chinese crockery ,lanterns , kites , fans ...there's too much to mention and it's definitely worth a trip to to discover what you never knew you needed ...
王.
Lots of good Chinese things here. Very friendly staff members.
M.
A fantastic selection of fireworks in the lead up to Guy Fawkes as well as an eclectic collection of Chinese products, including the famous selection of silk fabric. All in all well worth the effort of finding a nearby parking space and spending some quality browsing time
J.
Stuff of all sorts stacked everywhere. Fun looking around. Staff mediocre. 4/9 Whipping staff is possibly too severe, but they need to smile at customers. Even if they're busy stacking stuff, or talking to others.
S.
mazing eclectic place crammed with a large variety of Asian products. At Guy Fawkes time also crammed with a fantastic selection of fireworks.
K.
