They are generally more expensive than other Korean markets, e.g. Koreana Plaza in Oakland. I don’t know why they charge higher on each and every item. I frequently dropped by this place to buy basic Korean stuff, but after having an unpleasant experience regarding their own Kimchi, I decided not to go there again. The owner sold their Kimchi at the same price as other factory made big-bottled Kimchi arguing that they are the same size. I couldn’t compare the sizes because there were no other Kimchi brands. I bought it believing what she said was true, but after I got home, I found that their Kimchi container is less than 2⁄3 of the regular big Kimchi container. I couldn’t believe that she cheated me on such a little thing as this. I don’t believe I will go there again.

Somehow they have the best beef and pork(Korean style cut) all the time. Small and very friendly service.

This market is small but I’m glad it’s in the area. They have frozen meats, kimchee, Korean instant noodles, Korean snacks, ice cream bars sold by the piece, and many other things. I just bought and tried their kimchee today. It’s pretty good but be careful when opening the jar … the kimchee juice explodes out like crazy. I like this Korean market but I just wish they had some pre-made items.

This is my go-to store for certain key items: paper thin ribeye and pork loin, onions($.49/lb), tofu, ramen, and hi-chew! The owners are very cheery and sweet.

Not bad considering… Its small but carries a lot of items. Lots of dry packaged goods. A few veggies but not much in terms of fresh. I rate it 5 stars because its convenient and has what I look for. They also have a large assortment of Korean Videos. Good Management and very friendly attitudes.

Very tiny Korean market. They don’t have any vegetables, banchan, rice cakes, or any prepared food for that matter. They have the items to fulfill your basic Korean needs: 1) kimchi 2) rice 3) shrimp chips 4) ramyun 5) mandoo. and that is about it. I came here b/c I was going through«kimchi withdrawal» and had to get my fix. This was the closest Korean store in proximity to another store that I had to stop by. I could have stop by 99 Ranch but they don’t have the brand that I like best. The lady who works here is very friendly but I seriously wished they carried more items.
