Omi Oriental Grocery
Are you intrigued by Asian cuisine but intimitadated by the vast array of ingredients or special techniques? Well, you've found the right place! Come by the store in Enfield, Connecticut and our knowledgeable, helpful staff will be ready to answer your questions. You can also browse some of our favorite recipes here.

We even offer a growing selection of cooking classes to help you develop your Asian food skills. This store is great! They are small, but considering their size, they have a great variety.

This store is great! They are small, but considering their size, they have a great variety. The owners were extremely kind & welcoming. I recently decided I would cook more Japanese dishes for the health benefits. I walked in with a LONG list & the owner was kind enough to walk me through the store & recommend brands.

Great market! Has a large variety of asian groceries. The guy behind the counter provided excellent service and when I was talking with him, he noticed that I accidentally grabbed the wrong variety of the product I was looking for...I would have bought the wrong item if weren't for him. I will definitely go back again.

Carries most of the necessities for Asian cuisine. They have a small selection of produce (including radish, scallions, cabbage), a decent selection of sauces and herbs/spices, frozen seafood, and other things like instant ramen and curry. The owners are also friendly and helpful.

Quaint little Asian food market with a variety of Korean goods. Not many options for fresh produce when I visited, and it's a bit small but the prices were very very reasonable. The shop owner was so kind and friendly. They organise their inventory well so it's very easy to find what you're looking for. They also have a jumbo size pack for gochujang!

I walked in out of the rain looking for a place I could purchase authentic kimchi and some other hard to find Asian ingredients for cooking at home. The owners of the quaint little store were extremely friendly and helpful. I found everything I needed, as well as some things I didn’t know I needed. I have been looking for a place where I could purchase authentic Asian ingredients for the meals I cook at home and my search is now over. I will be a regular customer from now on. Better yet, the owner let me know that she holds cooking classes to teach how to prepare authentic dishes, too. I am looking

Great store to find many Asian staples. Store owner is extremely friendly and helpful. She is always willing to give recommendations and cooking tips for whatever meal you are looking to prepare.
Cooking classes run on the weekend are absolutely fantastic! Wooden carvings are unique and fun additions.
Can’t wait to go back, this will definitely be my go-to place when I need produce, snacks, and quick meal items.

A smaller store but what they do have is great! A lot of things you wouldn't normally expect to see and the store is very inviting with authentic asian food and ingredients for a very good price.
They're also very friendly which is always a big plus!
Been there multiple times and never had bad experience!
