Came here for the bubble tea and kimchi restock.
The items in this store are pricier than those you can purchase online but it's just 10 mins drive away from me so the extra charge to me is shipping and how long it takes. Sometimes they run out of items because it's a rather mid size? grocery store. They sell mostly snacks and ramen.
Service wise, all the employees are very polite and friendly. If you are looking for an item, they will help you locate it and check in their system if they have it. If you bumped into the owner, you can ask him to order certain items. I was looking for Taro milk but they didn't have that flavor but then next couple of months, I started seeing them.
In terms of kimchi I have tried their homemade kimchi but I still prefer the Bibigo brand one.
I like Bibigo more, followed by Assi and then their homemade one. But I think their homemade one is much healthier. If you want more saucy ones, it's either Bibigo or Assi. I prefer my kimchi with a crunch to it and like more preserved. Their homemade one aren't as preserved as bibigo or assi. Btw Assi tastes sweeter to me. Bibigo one, I gave some to my friends to try and they told me it's really good, better than other kimchi they tried. In comparison to those that you get as banchan in Korean restaurants, these kimchi are less spicy in my opinion. The Korean restaurant ones that I have been to in Miami/Broward were spicier.
Btw they don't have the Bibigo Kimchi on stock all the time. One time I went, they only had the Assi ones. And they don't have the Assi ones on stock all the time as well.
I think the homemade kimchi, the staff told me they're good for like 3 weeks or something? I don't really remember, it has been a while. But the Assi one and the Bibigo ones has longer expiration dates since they're factory made and not homemade. So purchase the homemade one based on like your servings or else there might be too much for you to try to finish.
