Nice is wonderful for a lot of things. Finding kaffir lime leaves, gochujang, or pre-cut sushi shrimp is not traditionally one of them. Asiana Supermarch\u00e9 on Boulevard Risso exists to fix that, and it does so more thoroughly than anywhere else on the French Riviera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is Nice’s most complete Asian supermarket, stocking ingredients from Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, and India under one roof, at prices that are competitive, in a shop that’s genuinely easy to navigate. For expats, it’s a lifeline. For home cooks who want to make something authentic, it’s the only place worth going. And for curious visitors who want to see what proper Asian grocery shopping looks like in the south of France, it’s a genuinely enjoyable hour or two of exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nShopping at Asiana Supermarch\u00e9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The shop sits on Boulevard Risso in Nice’s urban east side, a short tram ride from the city centre, and walking through the door feels like a straightforward shift in geography. The aisles are bright, colourful, and tightly stocked. Packages in Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Hindi, and Thai line the shelves in every direction, and the fresh produce section near the entrance gives off that particular mix of herbs and tropical fruit that immediately signals you’re in the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The atmosphere is busy without being overwhelming. A diverse crowd of locals moves through the aisles with varying degrees of purpose, some clearly regulars with a specific list, others doing what most of us do on a first visit, which is picking things up, turning them over, and trying to figure out what exactly they are and what they’d taste like. The staff are helpful and used to questions, which makes a real difference in a shop this well-stocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the food, there’s a section of tableware and kitchen equipment: sticky rice baskets, proper Japanese bowls, the kind of specialised tools that make certain dishes work the way they’re supposed to. It’s one of those details that separates a genuinely complete Asian supermarket from one that just stocks noodles and soy sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Not to Miss<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAsian Products at Asiana Supermarch\u00e9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The fresh produce section<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is where Asiana earns its reputation as the most complete Asian supermarket in Nice. Thai kaffir lime leaves, Chinese chives, tropical fruits including durian, and a rotating selection of fresh exotics that are simply unavailable elsewhere in the city. If a recipe calls for something specific and you’ve been assuming you’ll have to substitute, check here first, there’s a good chance they have it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frozen dim sum and spring rolls<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The frozen section is excellent value and one of the most practical sections in the store. Nems, baozi, and various dim sum options come in generous packs at prices that are hard to argue with. Keep a few in the freezer at home and you have a very easy solution to the question of what to eat when you don’t feel like cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sauce and spice aisle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Japanese miso, Korean gochujang, Indian chutneys, Thai curry pastes, and a wide selection of condiments and seasonings that turn a home-cooked Asian dish from approximate to authentic. If you’re working through a new cuisine and need guidance on what to use, the staff are a genuinely useful resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arrive on a weekday morning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The shop opens at 9:30 AM Tuesday to Friday, with a midday break from 1:00 to 2:00 PM before reopening until 7:00 PM. Saturday runs straight through. Coming at opening on a weekday gives you the freshest stock, the fullest shelves, and the quietest aisles. Particularly useful if you’re shopping for fresh produce or looking for specific items that sell out quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Locals and Visitors are Saying<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Asiana is THE Asian supermarket in Nice. It’s large and well-stocked, offering a wide variety of Japanese, Chinese, and Indian products. This time, I came to stock up on Japanese ingredients for making sushi. I found sushi rice, rice vinegar, ginger, wasabi, and even sesame seeds, both seasoned and unseasoned. I also found pre-cut shrimp for sushi there, meaning they’re sliced and packaged flat so they can be easily arranged on the roll, and the same goes for cuttlefish. In short, I’m a big fan of this store because I find everything I need for my Asian recipes, and it also gives me lots of ideas. Next time, it’ll be India on the menu.<\/em><\/p>\nMyriam R. from Nice, writing on Yelp<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Looking for lemongrass sausages and Chinese buns during my vacation, I spontaneously headed to this Asian supermarket. I was surprised by the wide selection of tableware, food, and drinks. So not only did I find what I was looking for, but I also managed to pick up some extras like aloe vera juice and ha kao.<\/em><\/p>\nJulien B. from Lille, writing on Yelp<\/strong><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I came in for a few specific items and ended up finding everything on my list plus some great new discoveries. The quality is excellent, and it’s a great place to stock up if you enjoy cooking home-style Asian dishes. I’ll definitely be back!<\/em><\/p>\nChona Hodges, a Local Guide on Google<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As an Asian living in Europe, in a city where it’s hard to find the Asian things I need, this shop has been a lifesaver! I found so many Asian products here, both food and non-food items, fresh and frozen, seasonings, drinks, sauces, seafood, and even rare fruits, all fresh. The prices are also good, and I’ll definitely come back when I visit Nice again soon!<\/em><\/p>\nStevia Caroline, a Local Guide on Google<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
