About
Kim's Asian Foods in Frankton is one of Queenstown's go-to stops for Asian groceries, pantry staples, and specialty ingredients that the major supermarkets simply don't stock. Sitting inside the Central Shopping Centre on Grant Road, it draws a steady crowd of locals, international workers, and visitors who know exactly what they're looking for — whether that's a specific brand of miso paste, fresh tofu, rice noodles by the bulk bag, or sauces from across East and Southeast Asia. The range spans Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, and broader Asian food cultures, making it genuinely useful for home cooks who want to get things right.
For anyone living in the Frankton area or passing through on the way in from the airport, it's a practical and well-regarded stop that saves a trip into central Queenstown. The 4.5-star rating across 150 reviews reflects consistent satisfaction from a community that relies on it regularly. Queenstown's population is diverse and internationally minded, and Kim's fills a real gap in the local grocery landscape. Whether you're stocking a holiday apartment, restocking after a week on the Remarkables ski fields, or just hunting down an ingredient for a specific recipe, this is the place in Queenstown that actually has what you need.
