Centre Point

KOREAN TRADITIONS Today, 17th April 2021, post lockdown, I ventured to Central London for the purpose of picking up a couple of seaweed bags! Frustratingly, many shops do not take cash and I don't get paid until the end of the month... Fortunately, I discovered Centre Point Food Store! Yay 😃! It's a wonderful Korean and Japanese food store with some amazing foods! Sadly, I can't eat much of it as I'm Wholefood Plant-Based. Anyway, I picked up a couple of medium sized bags of seaweed. I've been wanting to make a salad based on seaweed for nearly a week, and my local supermarkets have stopped stocking dried seaweed. THE OWNERS The Owners were very welcoming and friendly. I mainly spoke with a mature male, who had done army duty in South Korea. We struck up a conversation and he showed Me to bow correctly! Great! I thanked Him in Korean, which He and His female assistant appreciated very much. It was a wonderful exchange! IN-STORE The store is a little on the small side, which gives it a warm feeling in terms of a friendly atmosphere. I can't say I felt cramped... It was easy to find what I was looking for! LOCATION Centre Point Food Store is in a good location, which makes it so easy to find. It's also quite easy to get to from most parts of London. I've come from a relatively far North London location and it was certainly worth the travel. It's always good to stretch the legs! VERDICT I'll be certainly making repeated visits! I might even learn more Korean and traditions! Oh! I was given some very good advice too! I'll be sure to take heed! SCORE 10 / 10

Wonderful Korean supermarket!!😍😍Went here to get ingredients to make ram-don. I really love the variety of the food here:) The Korean gentleman was super nice to us! He loves happy-ending movies and has a very bright character. He made my day very happy. Highly recommended!

I bought three Korean cup noodles and noticed the seasoning sachets were damp. After checking, it was expired. When we asked for four pairs of chopsticks because we had four people, the male staff member was rude and said, “No, you only bought three.” He even dropped the chopsticks on the floor and threw them in the bin instead of giving them to us. Very disappointing and rude. Would not recommend. There is another Korean store nearby which is cheaper and has more options.

Amazing little shop right in the heart of Tottenham Court Road! Sonni, the lady who ran the store, was amazing and was super friendly 😊 a great little gem and highly recommend. There's also a secret restaurant in the back of which serves amazing Korean food. Thank you!

Wanted the dumplings but couldn't risk them so scored these instead. Great value and range of mainly Korean snacks & foods. Lovely friendly service!
