The basement that keeps going

Kina Li is an independent supermarket on Ringvägen in SoFo, and what you notice first is how little the doorway tells you. Down the stairs, the aisles run further than the shopfront suggests, and the walk through them has the feel of a maze you are happy to get lost in.

The food side is broad. Sushi rice sits among the dry goods, and the grocery aisles carry a wide spread of East Asian snacks and pantry foods to take home.

Alongside the food, restaurant-sized wok equipment, bowls and utensils fill the shelves, and small trinkets and accessories are scattered through the aisles. Staff will help you hunt something down; ask at the counter if you cannot find it.

Prices are mixed. Small crafts run about 15 SEK each rather than by the pack, and two hair clips around 4 cm across come to 50 SEK, so small items add up quickly.

One thing to know before you go down: the stairs are steep and have no handrail, with a stroller ramp along one wall. If you are hauling a big shop back up, keep a hand free.

What to look for

Asian snacks and pantry foods

The grocery aisles carry a broad range of East Asian snacks and foods to take home, and it is the easiest part of the shop to fill a bag from.

Wok accessories and kitchenware

Restaurant-sized wok equipment, bowls and utensils sit alongside the food, so you can pick up a spatula and a packet of rice in the same trip.

Small accessories at the counter

Small items such as hair clips are sold individually rather than in packs, at prices that add up quickly.

Who is this for

This suits anyone building an East Asian pantry who wants sushi rice, snacks and dry goods in one basement run rather than across several shops. It also works for cooks after restaurant-sized wok equipment, bowls and utensils, which sit right beside the food aisles. And if you like browsing without a list, the maze of shelves and the trinkets scattered through them will keep you down there longer than you planned.

The verdict

The range is huge, but prices on small items are high, so it suits a browse-and-stock-up trip rather than a quick bargain run.
