Casa China

Stopped in here to get some coconut milk. I was aggressively approached by what I guess was security and I was told that I couldn’t have my Fanny pack with me that carried my passport, diabetes medication, glucometer, bank cards, efectivo, and emergency contact info in case I have a seizure. I was to leave it at the door. I tried to explain to them that I needed it, and I was told that they didn’t care and that I had to leave it or leave. Needless to say, I left. They could use some training on how to deal with people. It’s also very over priced and there’s many places I can get coconut milk and carry my belongings with me while I purchase it.

Interesting super market with many items. We got cheap tofu and chia seeds here.

Good choice of products however some items are overpriced while others have normal prices

It's like a maze inside but filled with exotic, for the local taste at the most, products. Credit cards accepted

Great store with lots of foreign goods, Asian, Mexican and others. Several of the pictures in the reviews show a fresh fish section but that is a different store. One of the reasons I like Casa China is that it doesn't smell like fish!

Lots of stuff but shockingly expensive. Being from the US, how do people afford these prices. We came here because of a travel article who made such a big deal about Casa China. I guess it's a big deal. Bigly expensive.

For a half Japanese who grew in San Pablo and lived in New York, two cities that have a more developed Japanese gastronomical circuit and taste, I really miss asian ingredients to cook at home. This place has enough fresh fish options, including more exquisite food (to not say weird). :P

Excellent place, now expanded with bazaar. You can get almost everything, imported and of excellent quality, the best prices, cover and good service. Go with patience is always full. Recommended 100%

What else can I say? It's the best smelling supermarket in Chinatown. It has most stuff, except the raw foods.

As Lillian C. very eloquently put it, "Casa China is a vegan oasis in the land of meat." As a vegetarian drowning in a meat culture, this is so very true. If you're American, you'll appreciate this place. They have *gasp* pretzels, and OMG salsa. How salsa (the kind that goes with tortilla chips) is not a thing in Argentina, I'll never understand. Little comforts of home. They have plenty of sushi rolls to go, lots of different sauces (Tabasco is like $12) and some fresh-baked cookies that you can buy singularly. I wouldn't call it Whole Foods (Tina & Co around the corner takes the vegan cake for that) but Casa China is definitely a great place to check out no matter who you are or what you're looking for.

Wonderful place with such a nice crowd!! It's the equivalent of a Whole Foods or fresh market!! Perfect experience. I loved it :)

So this is where Buenos Aires's equivalent of a Whole Foods shopper goes for their health food needs. This grocer caters to a more affluent, non-asian crowd. Your asian shoppers are at Asia Orient and the other nearby smelly fishy grocers and here you have porteños grabbing vegan cruelty-free alfajores and bulk dried garbanzos here. They have a bulk section with chia seeds, flax seeds, lentils, and the whole shebang. It's no Whole Foods (no vegan raw, live pizza bites and kale chips unfortunately) but Casa China is a health food, vegan oasis in the land of meat. They have a whole aisle dedicated to herbal teas and a relatively sizeable vegan food selection. So if you so happen to drag a poor vegan to Argentina, they too can try empanadas and milanese thanks to Casa China.
