First Korean Market reviews
15Always got K-grocery and food here. The products are fresh and they always have variety of products on their shelves.
I love this little Korean market! They have pretty much all you need for everyday Korean cooking, plus AMAZING homemade banchan, gimbap, and soups. Prices are reasonable too.
Very reasonable prices and cozy interior. Easy to find everything you need. The prepared food is what my friends and I came here for. Pretty convenient! They have a great variety of banchan (side dishes) and kimbap! I recommend the beef kimbap.
0.7 lbs of kimbap (2 rolls) for $7.99 is not bad. The mackeral is also fried well and delicious. The kimari was decent. Since it was sitting out, it wasn't very crunchy. My only complaint is that there's no utensils for the prepared food! We went to eat our food at a park nearby and ended up having to use our hands for everything.
It's a clean and organized place. Owners are always there. They make fresh foods to go.like Kimbap.etc. And they have fresh side dishes in refrigerators. And it's next to Jack in the Box. It's a small place but has most Korean ingredients. Not friendly at all but helpful. Limited parking. No music. It's generally a good place with decent prices. Very small. Very clean. The ready made food is a nice thing. It's well made and delicious.few choices and kept on counter near register. Grab and pay.not kept warm. Fresh daily.
Great selection of korean groceries. I was in the mood of cooking korean gukbab. Got every ingredients from here.
Items have been downsized by half since the pandemic so I had to go to another Korean market to get what I needed.
Good selection of Korean/Asian grocery items, side dishes, daily prepared, packaged food items to take out for quick meal like gimbap (Korean sushi), noodles, dumplings, etc. Street parking is often available. Accepts credit cards.
I miss the old friendly owners who used to know their customers and treat all their customers with respect - not just the Asian customers.
I was buying some sushi with my kids and the old lady was trying to rush me out rudely. I am literally trying to give your business money and this is how you treat me and my family? It’s really like the stereotypical movie “hurry up and buy” SO RUDE!
For that reason - you get a bad review from me!
The sweet older couple who used to own this place sold it a few years ago. They knew how to treat their customers and their prices were so much more reasonable.
The quality of service is really poor and we treat our customers with indifference.they are not friendly.
Great place to shop they have everything you need for a good home cooked korean meal but they need to control how many people is in the store at a time.one person working the register n the line was backed up to the meat area if the store.
This market has everything you need for a Korean culinary masterpiece, snacks that remind you of childhood and pre-made yumminess.
I've been purchasing at this store frequently since 2013, and I must say, it's one of the best places in the city. The staffs are friendly and their prices are extremely reasonable; most products are at least a dollar cheaper than Woori, Nijia, or Kukje Market (and trust me, I've been to all). Absolutely no idea why some reviews say they're overpriced. Even during the pandemic, I saw that they have barely raised any prices, which makes me love this store even more. People are not crammed inside, and there is no line to get in. Plus, they have BOBA ICE CREAM!:)
Like most Asian grocery, you get better service if the owners recognize you.
They don't recognize me, but the shop has all the ingredients a Korean could need.
It’s such a great concept to sell banchan by the pound! Great for meal prep, which I did.
I came after work so they ran out of their pre-packaged meals (gimbap, chicken) so go early if you want to catch that.
