K-Town Market (Kim's Asian Market) | Asian grocery store, Korean food NC

We really enjoyed coming to K-Town Market. Lots to look around and explore in the store. We did order food and it took a while about 30ish minutes because they were busy (1:00pm). The food was excellent and worth the wait!

K-Town Market is a wonderful family-owned business I’ve been supporting for years. The store is always clean, with a solid selection of Asian groceries, and the staff are kind and helpful. The bathrooms could use a little more regular attention, but they’re never too bad. I love that they even have a K-pop section upstairs — it’s a cute touch and fun to see. The restaurant side is great too, serving homey and delicious food. Overall, it’s a welcoming spot I’m grateful to have nearby.

Certainly! K-Town Market (Kim's Asian Market) is a classy and well-organized grocery shop that has quickly become one of my favorite spots in NC. The variety of Korean food and other Asian groceries they offer is impressive. Every time I visit, I discover something new and exciting. The rice cakes and pork with rice are standout dishes—absolutely delicious and flavorful. They are prepared with great care, and you can taste the authenticity in every bite. The miso soup is another highlight; it's perfectly balanced and comforting. One of my personal favorites is their kimchi, which is incredibly fresh and has the perfect amount of spice and tang. You can really tell that they use high-quality ingredients in all their products. The staff is friendly and always willing to help with recommendations or finding specific items. The store is clean, well-lit, and has a pleasant atmosphere that makes shopping here a delightful experience. If you're looking for authentic Korean food and a wide selection of Asian groceries, K-Town Market is the place to go. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates quality food and great service!

First time visitor- we ordered the fried dumplings, beef and rice, and the taiyaki and everything was absolutely delicious. It felt very authentic but approachable, and the quality was seen in everything from the food to decor to customer service. We'll be adding this into our regular rotations!

Food is great, grocery selection is good. At the moment, they are making serious upgrades to the place. Update: Food is still great but they prepare DoorDash before in-house so it can take a while to get food. Last time we were there (8/31), it took a solid to get my simple kimchi fried rice.

An unbelievable variety of products. I felt like being in Korea again. Hard to describe, you have to experience it to understand. You can buy ingredients to cook at home or get meals read right there. Authentic!

Was in Raleigh for a week for work and decided to try this place out. I had never had Korean BBQ before and was particularly interested in this place, and I was not disappointed. The place is "divided" into what seems to be four segments; the restaurant, the Korean "snack" section, the grocery store, and the K-pop store. Upon entering I was able to order my food fairly easy and quick, I got spicy short ribs, and while my food cooked I browsed around the shop. The food was exceptional and after eating I went back and purchased several snack items. If you're interested in trying Korean BBQ for the first time or just looking for a new experience, definitely check out this hidden gem!

Authentic Korean food and groceries are found in this store. There are also lots of Asian food available. The restaurant is so good. A friend of mine who is a cook has affirmed also that this restaurant has really good tasting food to eat. 5 star for me.

Delicious Korean eatery! The service is good, and the food seems authentic. I got the dolsot bibimbap. My boyfriend and his dad got bulgogi with rice and galbi. Very delish! The ambiance is okay. I wish they opened the window blinds to make the place seem nicer. I saw they have really good takeout business, though!

Bombastic . They even have a Korean corn dog food truck and a boba cafe. The taiyaki is absolutely intergalactic. 10/10

Great market. I always find everything I need there (and more). Well stocked and staffed. One of my favorite stores to go to!

Honestly, I had extremely low expectations for this restaurant located within the korean mart in Raleigh. Coming from an area near DC with PLENTY of Korean food and similar korean mart mini-restaurants, I expected it to be pretty mediocre. That being said, those expectations were blown away. Came here with a pretty large group (12+ people), and although space was a bit cramped, we were pretty well taken care of and food still came out at a good pace. I had the kalguksoo (19) and was very pleasantly surprised with the abundance of seafood in the dish. Others were also happy with how their food came out. Some people did have some small complaints about the jjajangmyeon (17) - From the small bite I had I think it's a bit sweeter than it's typically served. That being said, it wasn't *bad* and no one was left unhappy. Would stop by here again if I'm in the area and want some Korean.

A neat concept! Reminds me of the Korean markets straight from a K-Drama. This market carries all types of products geared more towards the Korean demographic. It's hard to find certain items at your typical Asian grocery store. It's a great location for the part of town, not having to travel to the other side for Asian groceries. The food smelled great! I look forward to stopping in to try it in the near future. The parking lot is quite small and may be hard to get in and out during busy hours -- drive safely.

Cute small market with a restaurant inside. Great place to stop for Asian groceries when you're not in the mood to drive out to Cary. Staff is super nice and friendly, lots of selection despite being a smaller store. Got some food to-go and it was delicious! I also found the prices were great compared to other places in the area and online. Can't wait to stop by again!

I think this place is great for reliable "everyday" Korean food. If I lived nearby (I don't), I'd eat here regularly since all their food is solid. Some people have said their fried chicken is amazing to which I'd say: Don't get carried away. However, it is actually pretty good (as good as you're going to find in the Triangle area and maybe all of NC for sure). You'll have to drive to DC/Virginia or Atlanta to find better. The good: Solid standard Korean food at their restaurant with all the things you'd expect and none of the things you wouldn't. Except fish bread (if you don't know, I won't explain...just give it try), they actually do have that and it's decent depending on which person makes it (the owner or a random part-timer...it actually matters a lot. The market carries some stuff that even Hmart doesn't have but, as you might expect, things are a little bit more expensive (but hey, you are supporting a true small business so just suck it up man) The quality of food at the restaurant and the store itself exceeds most of the Korean stuff you'll find in NC. It's not fancy but you it hits the spot. The owner is very friendly and helpful The rest: The restaurant can get pretty busy so you might have to wait for your food The people cooking are not Korean (usually not a good thing) but in this case, they seem to have been trained properly (way better than Hmart) The market is a little pricier (on avg) than Hmart but not like "holy s..." more

The Spice seafood noodle soup is AMAZING!! It's spicier than I expected, but knew that the soup was going to be really flavorful. Kimchi pancakes are delicious, super fresh and nice thickness to them. Will be trying more of the menu!!

The noodle soup w seafood was excellent...creamy a lot of seafood and just the right amount of spices. The store has a wide variety of items and all vegetables and fruit were reasonable and fresh. Will definitely be coming back here to try some of the bakery items.

This place has delectable, fresh, authentic Korean food! Went with my Mom and Daughter for lunch, it was well worth the wait! The portions are family sized, making the price more than reasonable. The seafood rice was divine, beef bibimbap? Exquisite! Spooky chicken rice? Very spicy, as my daughter found out, haha! They have a wide variety of foods and spices that round out the whole experience. Would HIGHLY recommend a trip!

I don't know if they have completed a full name change - but this was Kim's Market near Duraleigh/Millbrook. After this preface, I do want to say that some prices have gone up - but their stock has also changed and this seems normal to me. Their staff is always friendly - this seems different for many from Kim's previously but from old ownership to now everyone had always been wonderful. Some even remember me between visits. They offer things that the old owners did not: slush cold teas, iced milk teas, Bungeo-ppang (or taiyaki) with various fillings, and bakery products from Tea Tree bakery. If they COULD have a more varied stock, I would welcome it. But they have an amazing stock for their size. I do wish I could get an eye on their second floor, which was clearly just an open stock room previously but I won't complain with things.

The restaurant inside the market have authentic Korean dishes. May not be the best, but the prices are very reasonable.

Love supporting small businesses. Their food is good but a little bit pricey for me.

Love this place. Food is awesome. Staff in the back cooking are nice! Highly recommend. Authentic

Loved this place when it was Kim's, love it just as much now that they've re-branded. The food at the restaurant has gotten even better. Can't recommend this place enough if you're craving some Korean food
