About us
Introduction
Bringing East Asia Closer to Your Home Since 2007
Founded in 2007, East Asia Mart is a family-owned grocery and fast food business based in Finland, dedicated to introducing the rich culinary traditions and cultural flavors of East Asia to European households. With deep roots in both the local Finnish community and Asian heritage, we offer a curated selection of high-quality products from Japan, Korea, China, Thailand, the Philippines, and beyond.
Over the years, we’ve grown from a neighborhood grocery store into a multi-channel business that includes:
- East Asia Mart Grocery Store: A trusted source for authentic pantry staples, snacks, fresh produce, frozen foods, and beverages.
- QuickBite: Our in-store food corner serving popular Asian meals including onigiri, gyudon, noodle bowls, and more.
- Online Shopping & Delivery: With local delivery through Wolt and Foodora, and expanding EU-wide sales via our webshop east-asia-mart.eu, we make East Asian groceries accessible anywhere, anytime.
Our Mission
At East Asia Mart, our mission is to be more than just a store—we aim to be a cultural bridge. We believe food is one of the most powerful ways to connect people and traditions. Whether you're a homesick expat, a culinary adventurer, or simply craving a bowl of ramen or a bubble tea, we’re here to serve you with authenticity and warmth.
What Sets Us Apart
- Authenticity & Quality: We carefully select our products and suppliers to ensure the highest quality and compliance with EU standards.
- Cultural Expertise: With deep ties to the East Asian community, we offer not just products—but guidance, recipes, and stories that enrich your experience.
- Innovation & Accessibility: From our POS-integrated webshops and Plytix-managed product data to upcoming initiatives in gluten-free and health-conscious Asian food, we’re always evolving to meet modern needs.

Looking Ahead
As we embrace a new chapter, our focus is on sustainability, well-being, and community engagement. We’re developing partnerships with culinary creators, expanding gluten-free offerings, and preparing for international growth—all while staying true to our family-run values.
