Spanning two units in the architecturally significant Corder and Sydenham Houses in Fawcett Street, Sunbucks is a big new addition to the city's retail scene.

It specialises in food and drink products to shop from countries including China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea, from mochi to kimchi, but it also has a sit-in section where customers can enjoy authentic bubble teas, milkshakes, fruit juices and ramyeon.

You can pick up ramyeon from the shelves and staff will add hot water for you, as is common in many convenience stores in the Far East.
