The Mandarin is a new little neighborhood shop that was opened last week by the popular Japanese restaurant EDO. It’s a small store which carries a variety of EDO food items including sushi rolls, salads and their popular ice creams, but they also carry items EDO use in the kitchen as well as a large assortment of different teas and tea accessories.
Currently they’re still in a soft launch phase and so are open from 1PM to 9PM. They’re located right next to the OVO restaurant in Bneid Al-Gar. Here is the location on [Google Maps] and you could also get a bit more info from the EDO instagram account @edo_restaurant

Kuwait needs a pan Asian store bad, like the ones they got in the States.

I’ve been to Singarea (thanks to your recommendation) but Shuwaikh is so far away…..
Why do they keep opening up good stuff there?
And why are they all next to each other in one area? Wouldn’t it make more sense to open up one that is closer to most people? Nothing exciting ever opens up in Salmiya (except Vigonovo 😉 )
I know you won’t be able to answer all these questions – or maybe you could, I don’t know – I’m just venting here.
You’re usually always venting Bolly Over Holly. Just saying 🙂
Aren’t we all?..
I really shouldn’t though, I’ll try to remedy that.
Thanks, Sh!
Yeah we all do actually. Sigh.
The rent is cheaper there
Probably.
def not cheaper
Really?
I honestly don’t know anything about Shuwaikh property.
Salmiya will be next new frontier for gentrification/hipsterization… just give it time
not gonna happen until they replace whoever is in charge with me 🙂
I get what you’re saying but what’s happening now in Souq Mubarakiya, Shuwaikh and Kuwait City might look like gentrification but it’s not really gentrification.
It did not drive away past business owners.
Gentrification is when people of a higher socio economic status start buying property in a struggling neighborhood in droves and as a result hiking up real estate prices and driving away the struggling people who live there.
I used to live on Alberta Street, the most hipster street in the most hipster city in the world (Portland) and its sad because I discovered while I was living there that it used to be a historically black neighborhood.
All the black people moved out and all the privileged, white hipsters came in and dominated the area.
i I like Salmiya .. if you all guys remember how Salmiya in the 90’s .. nowadays i go for a walk across Marina Mall the people and weather are so nice.
If you want to look at a changed neighbourhood, just look closely at Bneid al Gar. It was so run down that the co-op even closed. It used to be mainly old houses and labour dormitory accommodation till someone figured it was close to the city and the sea. Over the last 3 years there has been so much construction, and all of it is really ugly. Loads of apartments to rent at stupid prices.
