This shopping centre is a five-ten minute walk from Colindale station on the Northern line.
While many products are available for people who speak Japanese, there are plenty of cool things to buy for those that don't.
One of the most impressive places is the food court. In the very centre of London, this type of food is considered fashionable and served in expensive 'noodle bars.' Here, you can buy it for the price of a normal meal.
I also love the supermarket. You'll be glad to know that everything has a sticker on the back explaining what it is in English. You can even buy Pokemon sweets which come with a random Pokemon keyring, including Pokemon that haven't even been seen in the UK.
My favourite place is the bookshop. Here you can buy untranslated manga (Comic books) for next to nothing, considering how expensive the individual translations are. Also available are Japanese books and compact disks. These are much more expensive, though, as they are imports.
You will also find an arcade featuring one of the best games I have ever played -- Dance Dance Revolution. In this game, you must dance according to the moves shown on screen.
There are many other shops to visit and I highly recommend this shopping centre. The only problem are the prices, which is to be expected, considering that most products are imported.
Advantages: cheap, tasty, big dishes, wide variety of different styles of food Disadvantages: None
OrientalCity is based in Colindale North London next to the Asda on the A5.
It does not only do food but has shops and small cafes and a few restuarants inside too.
It is a big long complex based on two floors.
The buffet section is on the ground floor and has many different huts serving different types of Chinese food. I love Chinese and so does my partner, considering he is from a Chinese background it helps because he has an idea of what I will and will not like.
Since going out with him he has introduced me to many types of Chinese foods that I did not know existed.
Now back on to OrientalCity.
The buffet has many diiferent small huts ranging from Thai, Dim Sum, Vietemise, Malyasian and many more. Each serving their own dishes.
Now Dim Sum you may never of heard of because I didn't until he introduced me to ...
Advantages: Great selection of different oriental food mostly delicious, Reasonable prices, Rowdy Atmosphere Disadvantages: Not really a shopping centre, Rowdy Atmosphere
just there solely for people to go and try out different dishes from all sorts of oriental cuisine? That?s what OrientalCity is.
Opened in the early 90's OrientalCity based in Colindale, North London has been renowned for the shopping centre of oriental food. It started life as YaoHan named after the south-east Asia shopping/hotel consortium. YaoHan went bankrupt in the mid-90's and the Colindale location faced closure but a group of Japanese businessmen decided that it was too good to shut down, so they bought it and it continues to this day! I?m so happy it still exists as its one of my favourite eating places.
Walking into OrientalCity through its main doors, you are quickly overwhelmed by the huge food court in front of you. Hundred of tables and seats are laid out in the centre just like any other food court. The difference is ...
Advantages: Cheap and plenty Disadvantages: Far from city center
This is definitely the best buffet eat all you can Oriental restaurant outside the Londoncity. A tube to Colingdale, north of London and about 300 metres of walk down the road will bring you to a huge complex housing a restaurant and a lot of shops selling Oriental goods. The name of the place is OrientCity. Food is excellent. You have a selection of over 100 items...more than you can eat. You only need to pay around 10 pounds and you can combine your lunch and dinner together. It is worth the money your are paying.
In fact, it is much better than any of the Oriental eat all you can in Londoncity. That was so lousy and tasteless. ...
