Shoppers can pick up grocery items and also tuck into freshly prepared street food meals
A new Asian supermarket has opened in Liverpool city centre, and it has a range of ‘street food’ kiosks as well as harder-to-find groceries. The eJoy Asian Foods site is located at Devon Street in Liverpool city centre and it first opened its doors last week.
The team behind the popular eJoy Asian Foods on Myrtle Street have opened their second dedicated outlet across the city centre. The new store will take elements from the original site, including its food kiosks and supermarket department, but with an added seated area to enjoy food on-site.
Positioned behind the busy London Road, eJoy offers ready-to-eat street food as well as ingredients for home cooks. Among the street food style vendors is Mala Town, a self-service noodle kiosk offering freshly cooked hot dishes.

There is also a WokToGo branch and Happy Lemon bubble tea, as well as eJoy Dim Sum which offers handmade Cantonese treats including fan favourites such as siu mai and roast duck.
Store owner of eJoy Asian Foods, Kent Gu, said: “We are so proud to have opened our second site in the great city of Liverpool. Not only have we created many new jobs in the process but also we are happy to bring our brand to an up and coming new residential part of the city centre. The feedback has been fantastic so far and long may this continue.
“eJoy Asian Foods wants to be a big long term part of the Fabric District and that is why we have set our price structure in line for students and NHS key workers in this area, with great extra discounts for these groups. All the team are looking forward to a busy festive period.”
Photos taken inside the store show counters with fresh food where customers can ‘pick and mix’ meats, fish and vegetables to be cooked up fresh on site. These can all be cooked in a hot pot soup dish, which can be eaten on-site in the dine-in area of the supermarket.
Elsewhere in the supermarket, well-stocked shelves offer alternative flavours for things like crisps and sweets, with treats that would be harder to track down in the bigger supermarket chains.
