A Norrmalm shop for the missing ingredient
Pocky Asian Market Ab sits on Olofsgatan in Norrmalm, and the first thing you notice inside is how far the shelves run past what a Swedish supermarket stocks. If a recipe calls for something your usual shop does not carry, this is where you go looking for it.
The dry goods are the reason to come. Rice noodles from Thailand and Vietnam fill a stretch of shelving in several varieties, and the specialist items are here too: tempeh, century egg, and Japanese wasabi and curry powder in recognizable brands. Joss sticks are on the shelves as well, which is not something you count on finding in central Stockholm.
Snacks and drinks are the easy purchase. Pocky sticks sit alongside other Japanese snacks, and Singha carbonated water is on the shelf; roasted coconut water turns up too. The frozen department is worth a pass on the way out, with enough choice to build an Asian meal at home from what is in the cabinets.
The prices run lower than at other Asian markets in Stockholm, and the staff are Thai and helpful when you are hunting for a particular brand. Nothing here is laid out for browsing so much as for finding: know roughly what you want and ask.
Come for the noodles and the frozen section if you cook, or for the Pocky and coconut water if you are putting together a picnic or a hotel-room snack bag. It is a working shop rather than a destination in itself, and that is what makes it useful.
What to look for
Pocky sticks
Boxes of the chocolate-coated biscuit sticks sit with the other Japanese snacks, an easy thing to grab on the way through.
Rice noodles from Thailand and Vietnam
A broad spread of varieties across the dry goods aisles, the thing to stock up on if you cook Asian food at home.
Tempeh and century egg
Specialist items that are hard to find elsewhere in the city, on the shelves here.

Who is this for
This shop suits anyone cooking Asian food in a Stockholm kitchen who has hit the limit of what a regular supermarket carries, especially for rice noodles and frozen goods. It also works for a traveler putting together snacks for a train or a hotel room, with Pocky, Singha carbonated water and roasted coconut water all on the shelves.
The verdict
It is a plain working supermarket rather than a browsing destination, but for the specific ingredients a normal Stockholm shop does not stock, and at prices below other Asian markets in the city, it earns the stop.
