Sorry for off-topic, and I know it was years ago.....but we used to go down to London every weekend to Oriental City. Fabulous buffet lunch, loads of Asian grocery stores and a big Japanese supermarket....

We had some great times there.......anyone else remember Oriental City??

It was on the Edgware Road in Colindale.

Remember it well, think it's been knocked down and redeveloped now, but have a vague memory of part the the deal being that the shops and restaurants were being relocated else where

There's a massive WinYip chinese superstore on Staples corner, (right at the bottom of the M1) with a restaurant attached. Judging by the amount of orientals eating in there I suspect it to be good

Yep, knocked down years ago. None of the outlets relocated anywhere.
My wife's hairdresser was at Oriental City.

We used to shop regularly at Wing Yip.....it's a nice place, especially since the huge make-over some years ago. Very easy trip for us from M1 J15

That restaurant is just brilliant....a real Dim Sum gem of a place....that's why it's always jam-packed. Reasonable prices too.

Sadly not in Derby

I think Oriental City / Yaohan is still standing (shut down obviously)
