H Mart Woodside

I’m the regular customer for so long time but recently their country style kimchi has some unexpected nasty floppy meat part came out with it that makes my vegan wife so sad. I’m not going to trust anymore . The reason I chose Korean than the Chinese isn’t worth now on .☹️

Nice Korean grocery store! You can buy all kinds of Korean food there.

My favorite asian grocery store in NYC. Not overpriced, staff are kind and helpful. They also have ROASTED SWEET POTATOES 🫶🏼🫶🏼

I have been here a few times to buy matcha powder, and the the last matcha I got from the same brand, it made me nauseous, had diarrhea, and made me really sick. I called to see if it's possible to return. The lady on the phone asked if I had a receipt, and I said yes. I did the return the next day cos I was really sick to do it on the same day only to deny the return because it has been opened. I would've not tried to return it if it wasn't bad at all, but the Hispanic lady was very rude! Just kept saying, you opened it, you can't return it cos we can't resell it. You shouldn't be reselling it in the first place if it's really bad anyway cos that's a health risk! Did not even offer an exchange or anything. Terrible products, terrible customer service!

Had the chance to go to the re-opened HMart in Woodside! I'm glad I did! Good selection, fresh veggies, ready to eat food, a lot of food options and neat and well organized items.

Disrespectful and Body-Shaming Behavior My friend had kindly gone to purchase a meal for our group when she returned visibly upset and in tears. Upon asking her what happened, she informed us that while she was paying for the groceries, two of your staff members (cashiers) made inappropriate and body-shaming remarks about her in Spanish. They assumed she would not understand. They commented on the quantity of food she was ordering and stated that this is why she is “fat.” This behavior is not only deeply unprofessional, but also discriminatory, humiliating, and emotionally damaging. No customer should ever be subjected to such degrading treatment, especially not in a place where they expect respect and basic human decency.

H Mart's first store has reopened. It's a mini store, but there's really everything there is. It would be convenient for residents living nearby to buy fresh ingredients right away.

A lot smaller than the other H-Marts in NYC and the selection is a lot more sparse. If you go on the wrong day you may not find many items in stock. But still a wonderful addition to the area!

I've been meaning to check this out and finally got to since I was nearby. I noticed that on the entrance/ exit sliding door that it is opened 365 days from 9am- 9pm. Wowow!! I didn't get to go during their grand opening, but it's alright. It definitely changed for the better after the renovations from Hanareum. It did take a while for everything to be ready. I'm just glad that there's another Korean supermarket in the neighborhood. There's a lot of prepared foods and a section for ramen. I explored every nook and cranny of this spot and was impressed. There is a hmart loyalty card, so that's great because you can earn things with it. I'll be back when I'm around the area again.

Go for the discounts after 7:30. 50% off and I would say what a great deal it is. Store is a little bit small though but is worth it

Been coming here before the new renovation. Love love love the 50% off food after 6. I can always get all my Korean groceries here too. Everything is fresh and the store is clean. Only complaint is the korean lady that works there. She is so mean when asking her a question. Asked her about an item I was looking for and she snapped at me "NO!!!" even before looking at the picture of the item I was looking for.

I was so disappointed by this store. They showed that they had certain items on sale on their weekly flyer but when I went today, they were charging full price for all those things. The staff was also lame. If you need help, good luck! The employees will just stare at you and actively ignore you. I guess I'll try the one in Flushing and see if it's any better.

The renovation store is nice, bright and clean. The store is still the same original size. They have added more prepared heat and served meals. They have tuna/spicy tuna samgkak kimbap (triangle kimbap) and Bulgogi samgkak kimbap. I find prices are expensive for the price of a small snack. The store does have assortments of groceries and noodles. They have fresh meats and fresh seafood.

The options of different Korean cruises are astronomical since I was able to gather the ingredients I wanted to create a nice hot pot for my family and I. The ramen section was like a library with so many options to choose from. I decided to try Edo Min noodles for the first time and wasn't disappointed with the umami taste not to mention the very cheap cost of $3 for 5 packs. The only complaint I have is the narrow walkways that have me squeezing through everyone I pass and the prepared food section with the dull flavor of their Gimbap and Bulgogi beef triangles which would have tasted better in other Korean stores. Besides that the vibe felt as if you are casually strolling through a welcoming hut.

I like the food that i ordered, i did not wait long for it, the place was quite small and d ambiance is acceptable!!!

The OG HMart has officially reopened for business after two long years! Everyone loves a comeback story, and this one doesn't disappoint. The renovations that they made to this place definitely make it look and feel brighter and more spacious, especially in the back right area where the meat/seafood section has always been. It's still a small space overall and the aisles can be difficult to navigate when there are multiple people, but they've organized everything in a more streamlined manner, which helps a lot. The one sad aspect of the reopening is that the man making tofu in house is no longer there (I hope he is enjoying a happy and healthy retirement), but the entire front area has a lot more prepared foods than they had previously, which will likely make a lot of hungry commuters happy on their way home from work. I'm very happy that they've reopened. It feels like I've been reunited with a long lost friend!

H mart is a must go to for your Asian and Korean staples... Love that place. Each neighborhood should have one. And don't sleep on the larger venues in BK and Queens and Jersey .... Dreams!

New look. Looks nice. But it doesn't have a lot of the items i used to see and buy at the original HMart.

My H-Mart is the one in ktown, and although that one is a lot larger I love the Woodside location. Yes it's a lot smaller and has a lesser variety of items, but it's also cheaper. I can come get what I need for a few bucks left and they have all the staples. They even have a few things I don't see in the ktown location, which is a plus. The layout is quite narrow but they make a great use of the space. You can find a lot of your basic side dishes made in larger quantities for cheap, and their kimchi selection is solid. They also make premade food that changes weekly. I'm definitely going to make this spot my go to location on weeknights now.

If you're in urgent need of Korean goods then here is the place to go! I like to come here to shop when I'm either trying to make Korean recipes or want some awesome Snow Ice or banana milk. But I would stay clear of the soy milk though. Maybe it's because I'm used to the consistency and flavor of fresh Chinese soy milk, but the soy milk here was really thick. Almost like silken tofu but not quite that solid (and this was after being in the fridge for a day). But the soy milk (unfortunately) seems to only have a shelf/fridge life of under 2 days, which I learned the hard way. I had like 80% of the pint left and had to throw it all away because it had spoiled.

Due to the Coronavirus, their hours have changed from being open 24 hours to closing at 8pm. I went there around 7pm and they are following social distancing. They only let in a number of shoppers which is good since this is a pretty small store. Since I went at 7pm, there wasn't as much ready made food left but there was still some available. I haven't really notice a increase in prices. Please note that prices will be higher than at the chain Hmart. This is more like a neighborhood corner store so prices will be higher.

Always a good place to buy your favorite korean snacks or do some groceries. It's pretty small. They have korean side dishes and freshly made korean foods which i love.

The oyster and radish sangchae side dish. I bought the last night was spoiled and my husband who ate it vomited. I show it to the manager it, took it to the kichen, it was the spoiled said the cook and told me you do not buy side dish here anymore. It is ridiculous they don't even say they are sorry, they don't have a conscience to sell spoiled food in good condition.

Pretty typical h Mart but just very much smaller. They have the essential korean nessecities to make yourself a good bowl of noodle. Kimchi is here. I was walking by randomly to get some snack for friends party and this place has so much stuff. Snack for party, drinks and cooked meal. I don't know where to stop. The place is small. Much much smaller than other h Mart I been to. There is no upstairs or downstairs. If a worker is doing something, you would have to step back and let them pass. They have fresh veggie wrap in plastic. A big no no for me. Also some standard korean dishes.

Beware the rice! We purchased a bag of rice and opened it the same only to find it was infested with bugs. The store wouldn't give us store credit or try to help unless we brought back the infested bag. If anyone is wondering the brand it was Sam Su Gab San. Sadly, I think we will find another Asian market to shop at.

H Mart is popular but the one in Woodside is this really the H mart that's in flushing? The Woodside H mart is pretty tidy, and not big as other places I have been to in flushing area. So of course there isn't much stuff as flushing H Mart has. They have a fish corner in the back but doesn't seem so fresh as other places so I skip on that. They have korean rice cake (), korean banchan, kimbap, and etc. Their vegetables are FRESH. Outside the store they freshly bake sweet potatoes and sell it. I wanted to get it but will definitely try next time for sure. Just an heads up if you ever guys buying snacks from there make sure to check the expiration date because I brought korean snacks there some tastes like it was hard, it been there for long time. I come by often but not coming for snacks anymore after first experience. Btw if you spend at least $50 grocery you get their card which you collect 10, 20, and etc you will get 1 box of ramen, rice, rice cooker and etc. Make sure you ask for it if you had spend $50.

If you ever grew up Korean/Chinese and reside in Bergen county, Northeastern Queens, or the gold coast of Northern Long island, you would've no-doubt heard of H-Mart. Perhaps you patronize it on a regular basis. It's a well run, well managed Korean supermarket chain that manage to do something local Chinese supermarkets fail miserably at doing, which is to not emit a rotting meat/seafood stench within (and no, this is not merely me hating on Chinese markets - I've been to Ranch 99 locations on the west coast, or T&T stores in Toronto. Both are missing that stench - it's piss-poor local practices combined with lax DOH enforcement that seem to make it a trait here). In fact, if you really think about it, it gives H-mart that premium asian market cache compared to the smelly marts found in immigrant heavy neighborhoods like, say, Elmhurst or Sunset park. If you have been to their locations in Ridgefield (near Route 4), Williston Park (Nassau) or Hicksville (near IKEA), they are bright, clean operations that serve as the local area supermarket but with something a little extra (like food courts, Paris baguette bakery locations and Korean houseware). You can say the same about their locations on Union/28th or Northern/158th, only they are smaller - I guess only the Goowha location on Prince street (downtown Flushing) and Northern/136th will reveal their more humble, less Americanized beginnings (still clean, but certainly more cluttered with some handwritten signs in Korean). Where did H-Mart originate from? Well, you are looking at it. This is the very first H-Mart. This humble little shop in Woodside is the origin of the entire chain. That and funding provided by overseas investors helped it grow into the nationalwide juggernaut of today. Of course, this does beg another question - why a Korean market here in Woodside? Isn't Sunnyside/Woodside Irish and Hispanic? There's a population of Koreans here since the 1970s, and telling by the stores on Queens Blvd (Natural Tofu, Sik-gaek, Doma and Woori bank), they are still being served by neighborhood businesses - it's an older Korean population from times past (and their kids are moving East to Bayside and the 'burbs). Based on the fact that this store "grew up" with that population, you see vestiges from the time when they were the only Korean market in Queens and must try to make and sell whatever they have on-hand. It's one of the few H-marts where there are no Korean ladies offering you demo samples of quick-frozen heat-n-eat products like at their larger suburban stores (even if they do, the tiny and cramped aisles will not allow that). Instead, they grind their own soybeans to make their own tofu/soymilk (which they do not do in other locations - HangYang mart tried that on their 152nd street store and that failed pretty miserably), they have a kitchen on-hand to do banchan (most of their other stores turn to their in-house Jinga brand to do that stuff centrally in an industrial kitchen), and their cash register/checkout process was never upgraded to the same standards as their "chain" stores. The place managed to retain its mom-n-pop store feel. If you look at the location listings on hmart.com, this Woodside location is curiously missing, and is in fact considered a separate entity (even though it's also managed out of their HQ not too far from Secaucus, NJ) So yeah, it's an okay place to pick up east asian flavoring and bulk ingredients in the area - the fish counter smells reasonably clean, the banchan is made on-site, and the pricing is not too far off from the H-mart supermarket locations (like Goowha on Prince street near the 7 train terminal in Flushing). Ever since Chonghap on 72nd and Roosevelt closed down competition for a more convenient Korean grocer disappeared. Of course, if you want a better deal, hit the Food Bazaar in Astoria (huge and features Korean products), or the Korean grocer on 47th in Sunnyside. There are also produce shop on Roosevelt and 62nd that can do better. You are really gunning for convenience here.

An OG H Mart location so preserved in history, the original name hasn't been updated on the store's awning. The shop is very small and sadly, does not sell as broad of an array of products as suburban H Marts or even some locations in Manhattan (for example, the sea food selection is very limited; the store does not carry fresh sashimi). This spot is good for locals who need Asian groceries, but it's not worth traveling more than 30 minutes for.

Going to this particular H-Mart is a nostalgia trip for me. It reminds me of all of those mom-and-pop stores that Korea used to have until corporations drove them out of business (I'm looking at you, e-mart). I make my rounds in the early mornings before work, and try to get in and get out as quickly as I can since the space inside is super tight. As someone who cooks pretty often, I come here for the basics, like soy sauce, gochujang, etc., when I don't want to wait the long lines at Food Bazaar. The cashiers have been super kind so far, and I haven't encountered the touchy man-cashier people mention below, so we'll see . .

Came here often if we need Korean or Asian grocery. It's great to have H mart in Queens where we don't need a car go get to. Take 7 to Woodside. Super close to subway. The store has ready to eat hot food, fresh homemade tofu, appetizers and Korean sweets. The service is great as well :)

While it's not as large or robust as the Northern Blvd locations, Han Ah Reum in Woodside gets the job done when it comes to Korean groceries. I find myself here whenever I'm looking for things most of the Latin markets / bodegas won't have and the same goes for most of the nearby Asian grocers. Those things will include everything from Asian soy drinks to kimchi to a decent variety of pre-made tofu. Most of the cooked foods are worth a shot for anyone who is too lazy to order Korean in the hood. I've had their dokbokki (spicy rice cake), boiled mandoo (boiled dumpling), and the occasional pajun (pancake) here. I love how they have a tofu machine as well, typically used to separate blocks and strain the water. Talk about fresh! A lot of their imported goods are stuff that you'll find only in Korean and H-Mart like stores. There should be enough stuff here, ingredient wise, for folks who want to try their hand at executing some Korean cuisine.The aisles are too tight for carts, but it's going to be handbasket city as a word of caution to the claustrophobic. Their inventory of crock pots / rice cookers / kitchenware is probably not the best place for that. Pricing worry warts will notice the higher than average price tag, but it comes with the territory of most things Korean and all things Han Ar Reum. Service is friendly, cordial, and very efficient. There is a lot to love here, so long live Han Ah Reum.

I walked by last week and they are busy setting the place up with shelving. I asked a workman what is going to be in the space and he said the same store as before.... so maybe the small H Mart will return very soon.

I LOVE how they make fresh tofu everyday! Whenever I enter the place, it's always filled with the aroma of fresh tofu since they make it right by the door. You can purchase a pack or two along with their sauce made to marinate the tofu, throw them in the fridge and eat 2 days later, yummm! Great local hmart if you need quick Korean grocery pickups! The place is tiny compared to other hmart but it provides. Although their selections on meat and veggie are not the biggest but you'll live!

Dup of https://www.yelp.com/biz/han-ah-reum-woodside?uid=8RcEwGrFIgkt9WQ35E6SnQ&utm_source=ashare&utm_medium=share_inline_section&ref=yelp-android The exterior was ominously covered up but it was open, and this location is on the small side for the chain, with food prep in the corners, narrow aisles, and a nice selection. Come for tofu, kimchi, pickles, seaweed, and Korean condiments like gochujang.

Hi, today February 8, 2020 10.20pm - 10.42pm I was shopping at Han Ah Reum Supermarket ( H Mart ) 5918 Woodside Ave. NY 11373 and I got very bad experience. This is going to be my first COMPLAINT in my life because of one employee of this place. This employee is so rude and disrespectful. I don't know why he did this to me. (He's an old Korean guy with the Korean accent, he has grey hair and wears glasses, I think he's 40-60 years old). I spent time there around 20-30 minutes to shop and when I was going to pay, the cashier and I started conversation. Me: Hi! it's my first time here. cashier: Oh, where do you live? Me: I live around Grand Avenue. cashier: Yeah, what city? Me: It's in Queens cashier: What is your address? Me: XXXX XX street, Elmhurst, NY 11373 cashier: Yeah, when people ask you what city should answer Elmhurst, that is the city. ( he was talking rudely already at this time) At this time my friend came over because he thought it was strange that I had to answer my full house address to the cashier. -- I let another customer who was behind me pay first because he thought I was not ready ----- but if he didn't keep asking the location where I live, I would have finished paying bill already. Continue the conversation cashier: So I can say I live in Queens, I live in Grand Avenue and the Grand avenue is fucking long. I can say I live on Earth, right? (He still keeps picking up the fight) Me: So where do you live? cashier: I live in Maspeth Me: Oh, Is that next to Grand avenue station? cashier: No, If you don't know why are you pretending like you know it? ( By this time I was so angry ) At this point, my friend who was watching the conversation spoke up. My friend: I think it's okay to say that he lives in Grand avenue because there's a train station named grand avenue. I don't have an accent because I grew up here. I think it's okay to say he lives in grand avenue cashier: I know, but grand avenue is big you know Me: It's okay, this is going to be my first time and last time here My friend: It's okay, I've never seen you got upset with any cashiers before, you're just try to be polite. The questions are: 1. Did I do something wrong with this guy? English is not my first language, why he had to be so rude and aggressive to me? Because after my friend came and talk to him, he became more polite. (My friend he is American) 2. Did he have the right to ask my private address? 3. Did he have the right do be rude to customer like this? He was the one who picked the fight and continue to pick a fight several times. 4. Why he wanted to know where I live that much? 5. Why he wanted to pick a fight? Or he tried to racist me because of my accent or something? My friend who is American, he looks Korean, but I do not. (I am 100 percent sure he said this word I dare the company to look at the camera to see and listen every words he said and every actions he did to me, it was not polite at all)

LOVE this H Mart. It's a store that has everything I need and the best part is, the staff are always so friendly and helpful. John was so helpful and help me find the things I need. Love the homemade food too! Thank you so much.

You can't really find much Asian snacks here in Woodside. There's only 2 places for that - New Long Cheng (which I would not buy there since most of their snacks are 'mysterious') and then there's Han Ah Reum. Han Ah Reum has been around for a really long time now and as far as I'm concerned, it is still one of the cleanest stores that sells groceries in Woodside. Since New Long Cheng doesn't really sell snacks that are imported straight from Korea or Japan anymore, I depend on Han Ah Reum, even though it is a little more pricey, but worth every penny. I usually get some of my groceries here rather than supermarkets because it's much cheaper and the ingredients are more fresh!

I've been to the H Mart in Ktown in Manhattan many times, but this was the first time in this location. I actually prefer this to the Manhattan location. While it is smaller and has less selection, it has all of the necessities. If you are looking for Korean groceries, this is the place. Although there are less fruits and vegetables than the Manhattan location, the ones that they do have are fresh and they have more of a selection than I had expected. The main thing that sets this place apart from the Manhattan location in the banchan. While the banchan in the Manhattan location is mediocre at best and disappointing at worst, they actually have some great ones here. I especially enjoyed the kimchi with pork! While the grocery store is largely the same, whereas I'd advice to skip the banchan at the Ktown location, it's definitely worth buying some dishes here.

I come here at all hours in the day, sometimes even after work around 1am and the staff are always so nice. They always greet you when you walk in and serve you with a smile.

Staff not nice to non Koreans who are not white. Every meat and seafood pre-prepared dish I've bought from here has had very little actual meat or seafood but lots of sauce, vegetables, and gristle. Two especially memorable times were: Today when I bought sweet sour pork thats pre-prepared. Little to no meat in the entire package, but you can chew on orange fried flour. A few months ago I bought marinated crabs. Little crab meat but lots of red pepper paste (gojuchang sauce) and green onions/veggies in general.

This market was way overpriced for the food. I was intrigued, however, by the variety of Asian brands that they carried here. I got to buy this fish bread dessert ice cream that was so good! I also bought some instant tonkatsu ramen. The great thing about this market is that they give free samples at about every aisle, which was great! It really made me appreciate the other brands of asian food. This place can get pretty crowded, and the aisles are small. Parking was okay though. Also, I heard that their food court was good here! It was looking really crowded, and I really wanted to try it. I'll have to try it next time though.

Best selection of fresh veggies & clean beautifully displayed foods..they sell everything!!!

This H mart has all the things i want even though this store is so small. It even have snacks and drinks that other bigger locations dont have.

I've been here a couple of times during the 15+ years that I've lived in Woodside and I continue to experience bad customer service and straight up rudeness from the old man who's at the front. I've noticed when waiting on line, that he'll be nice to Korean customers whilst acting snark and sarcastic with non-Korean customers and I find this borderline offensive. My mother and I went here recently and I understand that given the certain circumstances, everyone is on edge. But my mom asked one question about where she could find something and the man decided to act smart and make sarcastic jokes. I don't appreciate that being that English is my second language. You're better off with going to the Hmart on Northern Blvd or Ktown...more space and efficient customer service

BEWARE of the sly overcharging of items. Make sure to cross-reference your items with their marked price. Twice I've had to go back and get a refund for things I was overcharged. Shit, everything is already overpriced as it is... Out of convenience I would only go here for Korean/Asian specific items and go to Champion supermarket for everything else.

While definitely not supermarket sized, it's the first asian grocery you'll hit via public transit in Queens if you're coming from Manhattan, so keep that in mind. Prices are a bit on the high side, but quality is really nice and consistent. They also have an excellent prepared food section and offer sushi-grade salmon + fish counter in the back. They've also stocked everything I've ever wanted from an asian grocery, so they have all their bases covered as far as I'm concerned. And plus one star for FRESH TOFU! Omg. I come by 2x a week just to get a block of their fresh tofu. It's made daily on premises and still warm from the press. They only make 2 kinds - firm and crumbled. It is wonderful and makes me feel happy inside :) Yay for H-Mart!

Hi, I just converted my best friend who isn't Asian into an H-Mart fan. Hailing from LA, I'm a great frequenter of Korean and Asian markets in general, so when I saw that my friend had an H-Mart in proximity, I had to get my fix of yogurt drink and ramen. Definitely give H-Mart a try because: SELECTION: Although very cramped, this store offers a HUGE selection. You can find typical groceries like vegetables and meat, but also hard to find specialty items like sweet mochi cakes, fresh kimchi, asian vegetables, marinated Korean shortribs. I also found some tasty Korean snacks here that I haven't been able to find in LA lately. QUALITY: Great quality and fresh produce is always current. When I popped into the store for a second time this week, I saw that they offer almost expiring products (has 2-3 days left) for a cheaper price so they don't have to throw it away (I like this system, promotes non-waste!) SERVICE: Quick and prompt, the employees are mostly Korean with okay English. They're friendly and helpful! And to those skeptics, this store seems like the real deal--they are a branch of H-Mart!

I felt genuinely ripped off when I stepped foot in this small Korean grocery store, which I was expecting to be a branch of the glorified H-Marts. To my disappointment, this location was: Cramped. An unusual permeating odor throughout (was not kimchi.. i love kimchi...) Had a minimum purchase for credit card (isn't this illegal now...???) Kimchi was packaged in white plastic bags- no expiration date, no nothing. And seemed to carry expired products (gochujang- i.e. korean red pepper paste). Be aware that this location is NOT indicated in the Hmart.com store locator function. Very suspect if this is a legitimate Hmart or one faking it and benefiting with false advertisement. The grocery bags don't have the usual Hmart logo. What the flip???? NOW the woodside hmart is on the website...... So confused...... Big sigh!

Random delicious Southeast Asian products. I was able to buy sesame seeds and some kimbab. I recommend coming here if you want a quick meal or a delicious Korean meal. They have tons of noodles like ramen, soba, and large quantities of cooking materials (oils, condiments, ingredients). I see soy sauce, flour, pickled veggies, etc. There is a huge assortment of snacks, cookies, and candies. The prices are a bit steep, but nothing unexpected since there is not another store nearby with fresh prepared Korean meals. I would come back.

I decided to check this H Mart out as it was 24 hours late on a Friday night. I was actually surprised that there was an H Mart in this neighborhood but good stuff. I was dissappointed as soon as I got there. Parking was easy mostly because of the late hour I was there. This H Mart is very small. The aisles you really small and their selection is no where near the other H Marts. I was in and out of there in 10 minutes. The guy behind the cash register was really nice and friendly. I would come back here in a jam or if I was in the area but I would prefer the H Mart off of 156th St and Northern.

This place would be great if it wasn't for the fact they keep fish in cups on the counter for sale. They look half dead and that has to be qualified as some kind of torture. I avoid the place.

i lov this place, i go there once a week My primary reasons for shopping at asian marts other than the ethnic ingredients are the quality of their fruits and produce. lot of Korean products , i always buy the rice cake is so good. At this place price is reasonable but more importantly I've always found that they carry the freshest goods.

I've lived in Woodside all my life, and this is the "H-Mart" I've been going to during all those years. Its appearance hasn't changed ONE BIT in all that time, but it has everything I'd want in a local korean supermarket: choco pies, roasted seaweed, mochi and green tea ice cream, melon bars, you name it and this place will have it despite its modest size. I can't imagine where else I would have gotten such staples w/o this store so I have a huge fondness for it. Once you enter you can sometimes see them making fresh tofu to your left, and there's a seafood counter all the way in the back of the rather cramped store (to the point that new customers might be shocked once they find it). You'll also be surprised at how many non-koreans also shop here. Coming here is more of a treat than a necessity for me. Whenever I go running, I try and end my run at this store so I can treat myself to a korean snack to further motivate myself. What I tend to buy most here: korean noodles (including ramen + bibimyun) and the bung-uh-bbang ice cream (half vanilla, half red bean). Every week they have different popular products on sale like the roasted seaweed and choco pies. I was pleasantly surprised during my last visit to see that they also sold some korean brand beauty products behind the front counter like face masks and lotions. So before I order them online and have them shipped overseas I think I'll check if they're sold here first :D This place will most likely outlive me heehee!

Probably the closest place to get some Korean stuff around here since the huge supermarket on Roosevelt closed some years back. When I'm in the need for gimbap, I usually head here if I am feeling lazy to run out to flushing. This place has all your basic Korean food needs and more. Glad I found it. Get there early because most of the good stuff is gone by noon time.

What i dont like about this place is that the old man in there always checks on you when your buying stuffs. He basically follows you around. Thats very annoying. Just use a surveillance camera instead.

This isn't a Korean supermarket you would drive out of the way for but if you're in the area and you need some Korean food this would suffice. They have your staples and what they're really good for is their prepared foods including kimbap rolls, Korean pancakes, japchae, dduk bokki and things like that. It's a tiny crowded store but they got what you need.

amazing and always open for a late nite kimchi fix
