Anji Orient

A Chinese and Korean grocer on the corner where Baron Street meets Chapel Market.1

Why go

The buying is specific rather than catch-all: Chinese and Korean, in a shop small enough to walk round in a minute, at the Islington end of Chapel Market.1 That is the whole published record, and this entry does not extend it.

Good to know

  • Where: 19 Baron Street N1 9ET, a short walk from Angel.
  • Hours: none published in any source read this pass.
  • No website. The shop's own Facebook page is the only place it speaks for itself.

Verdict

listed — A Chinese and Korean corner grocer at the top of Chapel Market, which is a useful thing to know is there if you are shopping in Islington and want gochujang and doubanjiang in the same trip. Nothing published says more than that, and this entry does not pretend otherwise.

Order

  • Chinese and Korean dry goods, which is what the shop stocks rather than a general Asian mix
  • Whatever is fresh, since the shop sits on Chapel Market and buys accordingly

At a glance

  • Booking: walk-in
  • Timing: all day
  • Best for: solo
