"Zion Market at the Northwood Town Center in Irvine features a decent selection of Korean food staples, perfect for the county’s booming Korean population." - Jenn Tanaka

For Korean and Asian groceries in Irvine, Zion is a less costly supermarket than H-Mart, Mitsuwa, and some 99 Ranch. Many, not all, items are cheaper if u know your prices and are able to discern. Overall, fruits and vegetables are fresh and cheaper but meat and others are comparable in prices. Interior is not as bright and renovated as H-Mart but not rundown. Shopping carts are in serious need of repair or replacement because many of them don't move well. They also sell ready-to-grill marinated meats, sushi, ready-to-eat Korean food and "banchans". I recommend here over H-Mart and 99 Ranch if u r buying a lot of groceries and want more value. For meats, I prefer American branded supermarkets or Costco/Sam's because they are fresher. For fish and pork, 99 Ranch seems fresher than Zion Irvine. Also, Zion Buena Park is cleaner, fresher, and cheaper than Zion Irvine. Which Asian supermarket is better for u will depend on distance, quantity, price, and variety of selections.

After getting a fresh haircut, I stopped by Zion Market right next door, and I was pleasantly surprised! The selection of meats, sashimi, and vegetables is super fresh, and the prices are even better than H Mart’s offerings — definitely more variety too! If you love stocking up on Korean side dishes, frozen foods, and instant noodles, this place has everything you need. Inside the supermarket, to the left, there’s a Paris Baguette bakery, a Korean restaurant, and Two Dak, a fried chicken restaurant where the prices are lower compared to Pelicana nearby. They even have their own dining and seating area. If you’re tired from grocery shopping, you can have a meal or just relax with a cup of coffee before heading home. I love Zion mart and I wish it had more locations in Orange County. 📍 **Zion Market (Northwood Town Center)** 4800 Irvine Blvd, Irvine, CA 92620

Never seen such a rude and impolite staff in Zion mart. She is unwilling to offer food for customer to try. She didn't want to pass the food to me, it's fine, I will leave. But she suddenly speaks Korean to me, I can't speak but I felt she was speaking something like foul language and finger point to me. This kind of staff brings bad reputation to Zion mart.

This is my favorite market in Irvine. I always go for the noodles and Korean sushi which totals would be like $12. That’s lunch right there! They also have a bakery inside with mochi donuts. They sell liquor and Korean alcohol. It’s a huge place. Go check it out. You won’t be disappointed! @ninjaxfang

Love this place, here I find all kinds of Korean food that I love, some things are a little expensive but other than that you find all kinds of great Asian food. In the dessert area I was amazed, and beautiful and delicious desserts, I had never had the opportunity to try the Korean cheesecake and I was delighted with its taste😋🤤.

I like to visit this lovely Korean grocery store in Irvine. They always carry many variety of fruits and vegetables. Since I’m Japanese, I always buy their thin cut beef of pork which most stores don’t carry in US. That’s very plus to me! I sometimes buy their Salmon for sashimi and make own sushi at home. They are not so expensive and tasty!

Shopping for my favorite soup, vegetables, fruits, and snacks and more. One snack could not find, then I asked cashier and shew new instantly, which isle, location it is in. Amazing! Thank you. Great experience.

Budget Korean market with lots of great deals, especially in the produce department. In addition to advertised deals, they often have managers specials for overstock items that need to go quickly. The quality is hit or miss so you have to decide based on how they look. Occasionally you will find deals like $1 strawberries, $2 organic 1lb prewashed salad, $1 for 2 lbs Persian cucumbers, and more. They also have a good variety of Korean (and other Asian) packaged foods like ramen, seaweed, snacks, drinks, frozen dumplings, fresh kimchi, and marinated meats. There are also some freshly cooked take out options and a fresh bakery inside.

I am surprised Zion has an average rating of 3 stars. I think this place is fantastic. They have a huge selection of vegetables and fruits that are fresh, lots of fresh meats to select from, and your typical selection of Korean processed foods. The one plus about this place is that it's much more reasonably priced than their H Mart competitors. Parking can get wild on the weekends so be prepared. The service workers are average. They aren't rude but they also don't go above and beyond which is something I wood expect from a grocery store. The store is also cleaned and stocked regularly. Their aisles are also spacious for the many people who come to shop. It's a must for me when I am craving Korean bbq to prepare at home.

I have passed by this Zion Market so many times in the last few years, today I finally made it inside to check it out. Its size is of a typical American supermarket, even slightly larger. There are a wide varieties of vegetables and they all look fresh. I didn't see a butcher counter but there are many pre-packaged meat for sale in the meat section. I did pass by several sampler stations but no one offered me any samples to try. I am very impressed by food selections in the deli section. There are pre-cut sushi rolls, sliced beef tendons, cooked whole ham hocks, among others. I was seriously tempted when I saw Cocohodo, Mochicat, and Paris Baguette in the back of the store. I was able to resist only because I just had lunch. Overall, I find Zion a clean, easy place to shop. Prices are on the high side. It is busy but not crowded. I am not sure why there are many trash cans in the produce section although I am sure Zion has a reason for that.

Love going here when we are in Irvine...they have everything Asian you could need. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc...their prices are a little bit higher...but you can't find most of their items anywhere else. Have always noticed the checkers are extremely rude. The rest of the store employees are helpful and seem to care...

- Price: Many many items were on sale! Fruits and vegetables were fresh with good value, got 24 bunches of green onion for $1.99! I made Kimchi with them :p What a steal! Much cheaper than Vegas supermarket!! Shopped about $350 which could have been $500-$600 in Vegas. - Ambience: Huge & bright place. It was pretty busy on the weekend. Everything is well organized. So many seafoods and processed foods imported from Korea or other Asian countries. There are frozen meals so all you do is heat-up! - Service: Cashier was friendly and quick. - Restroom: Usable. Not pleasantly maintained. - Location: It is conveniently located in the plaza restaurant area. Good to go before/after eating. - Parking: It is in the plaza so there is a plenty of parking. - ETC * French themed Paris Baguette is there * Food court & Fresh made Gimbop and banchans (side dishes) available [Will I be back?] Definitely! This is the best Korean grocery supermarket chain by far.

I was in the Irvine area and my family and I went here to shop on a Saturday morning in late June. This is one of the better Zion location I've been. It is clean in all the aisles. They had good prices on some of the vegetables. Lots of the workers was stocking on supplies on the shelves. Lots of items to look at and it was hard what to buy. My favorite sections was the ramen and snack aisles. It wasn't too busy so it was nice. They also sell takeout banchan items, gimbap, and Paris baquette inside which had lots of pastries displayed. I also got to use $2.00 off for my groceries.

Lots of fresh produce and korean products. Good sales plenty of selections and there's also a small foodcourt for food to go. There's also Paris Baguette inside so you can get some pastries, donuts, coffee and bread. The store inside needs a bit of remodeling especially the tiles but overall it's a good decent grocery. Plenty of parking.

Fresh produce, it is my favorite place to shop weekly. I would recommend to everyone.

I got some food from the deli the squid and it was so tough and tasteless I had to throw it away . I also bought kimchi which was okay . Going once I don't think I'll go back the cashier was kind of rude .

I like to come here and shop for Korean products. They have large selection of hot food items and my favorite is their bulgogi and fried fish. They have a large produce section but you have to really look at the items. Some are moldy or rotten. I recently bought a large box of Korean pears (total of 8 inside) and 2 were bad. I didn't open to check so next time for sure I will! They also have many varieties of rice to choose from and I was able to get the Jasmine rice and it was on sale! They also have marinated beef or chicken to go so you can cook from home. One down side is if you don't tell them how much you want they will fill a whole box for you and it can be quite costly and too much food to eat. So you have to be adamant on how much pounds or ounces of marinate meat you want to purchase. Large parking lot. Easy to fin. Located in Irvine Blvd!

Absolutely horrible customer service! And absolute horrible products too! So glad to see Hmart opened up in Northpark. My wife bought some curries that were too bland for me. I went and asked if I could exchange one SB curry from the bland to the spicy. The manager rudely said no, and then the 17 year old cashier tried to make it better by saying it's because of inventory. Ok first, I would think an even exchange of a packaged product that is nowhere near expiration shouldn't be that difficult. Second, thanks high school cashier, but I'm an accountant, and a company doesn't freak out at the end of the year because they have 251 hot flavor curries on hand versus 250 hot flavor curries ok? Every time I buy jeju clementines here, they get moldy within a day. And the scallions are mealy and limp.

Yelp
Best and Worst asian market around! Come here for the cheap prices, the best ones in the area, as long as you don't mind the moldy fruits. Come here for the steals, if you don't mind the rotten veggies. Come here for the aisle items if your stomach can't handle the trashed produce. Come here if you have time to look through boxes and boxes of produce just to find that one fruit/veggie that isn't a complete p.o.s. Come here if you want to be ignored and given the stink eye by employees. Their food court isn't bad and the market's cooked food is decent when marked down.

Today 11/26/23 around 3pm my mom, my 3 year old baby and I were at Zion Market to buy some food, we saw some apple juice samples on the table so my mom and I tried it first, then when my mom was going to grab another one for my baby to try, a Korean lady employee came and stopped my mom, my mom was so nice to say anything back and walked away but I was standing a few steps away and saw everything. That wasn't right for her to do that to my mom and baby so I came back to the table and grab one, I told her it was for my baby she hasn't drank any, then the lady angrily hid the sample tray under the table!!! Seriously??? It was just apple juice in those tiny sample cups!!! There were 3 of us and we only took 1 per person! That was extremely ridiculous, cheap and rude. I had never encountered anything like this anywhere before. Be aware when you go to Zion and want to try their samples

Still 10 minutes before closing and the clerks inside refuse to let me in to pick up something quick. Person inside said, nah I'm ready to leave. Nah, never giving you any business. Bye.

I can't say enough good things about this place. Great prices, excellent food, kind of crazy, but overall my favorite Korean market. The ladies giving out samples where so nice and helpful. The environment is exactly what you expect from an ethnic market. For sure coming back to this place.

I was like a kid in a candy store here. I couldn't believe the selection in the produce section, the frozen food section and the seafood section. All of the products looked great. I will be going back again, though it is a bit of a drive from my home.

Yelp
Zion Market offers lower prices compared to H Mart, but their return/refund policy is notably strict. Be cautious, as their produce tends to be less fresh and has a shorter shelf life. I've faced difficulties with returns multiple times, and today marks the last straw for me. Despite a 2-5% higher cost, I prefer H Mart for the peace of mind with their easy return policy. Also their manager is hella rude. TL;DR: 1. Zion is cheaper but has challenging return policies. 2. Expect less fresh and quickly perishing perishable goods that are hard to make claims. 3. Consider paying a slight premium for H Mart's better return experience/fresher & lasting produce.

Lina M.

Yelp
Today is the last time I go to this store. I asked this employee (photo) for a sample and she flat out refused. I asked why, she iust said no. And continued to serve korean customers before and after me fish cake samples she was cooking. I was livid. The only response I want from management is for her to be fired, otherwise Zion Supermarket continues to support discrimination.

For the basic Korean market essentials I will consider stopping here. My friend preferred this market on a recent visit and I tried it out. Compared to HMart though, just a few minutes down the street, it's not my first choice for my Korean Market favorites (ie strawberry milk). At least when I was in, they didn't have any in stock. Also, it seems more disorganized and random in this marker so I had a harder time getting my bearings to find what I needed.

Glad they've closed. You can't read anything on the shelves. We need a market like Sprouts or Whole Foods. Wild love to have a Trader Joe's, but there a two in Irvine.

Please avoid at all cost. Like other reviewers has mention the EMPLOYEES ARE SOOOO RUDE! Particularly the older Asian cashiers are rude. I go here about 4x a week because I work inside the plaza and it's just convenient and 3 out of the 4 times it has been a negative experience where it honestly ruins my day. The cost of items is the same as h mart or other markets near by and you don't have to deal with rude employees The only good thing about this place is the NICE FRIENDLY people at the mochi cat inside the plaza and the people at the Taiaki fish place 5 out 5 for them

The worst Asian Market is dirty and smell bad... Services Cashier number 8 Sat Jun 24 at 8.00 pm was rude and unprofessional...LOCA is less what you deserve yelling to the poor packer just for a plastic bag... Secuity is a joke he feels like is a police officer and with one push is going to be to the other side of the Market... first and last

What the heck! I found a piece of big metal in my daughter's tteokpokki where my wife bought at Zion Market in Irvine. I got so upset due to that and went over there and complained, but they said, " I don't understand why it is in the food..sorry. just return it,refunded." Shame on you! No responsibility for their fault! Never come back!!!!

I want to give this place five stars, but there have been some inconsistency in their produce section that I can't overlook. Unless you're telling me I've got this uncanny skill of picking bad apples every time, someone else should pick my fruits. From apples to mangoes and sometimes pears, I've accepted this unfortunate secret power of mine, but luckily, there are other items that bring me joy when I come here. I shop here probably 1-2x a month to fill up on grocery, snacks and their prepared foods. Some of my most interesting finds appear when I spend a bit more time in the aisles like Milk Tea Choco Pie, Corn Ice Cream, frozen marinated crab, soup packets and a wide variety of kombu (or dried seaweed). I love trying new things, so if it sparks a bit of curiosity, I am down to give it a try. It's also a one-stop shop for an easy and quick lunch when the cravings hit for gimbap, tteokbokki, soondae and soups. The deli area has a pretty solid selection of side dishes and hot food items! I pick up the usual - seaweed salad, bean sprouts, spinach, kimchi, pickled radishes and pancake. And the seafood and meat variety is really great too. I bought their salmon sashimi here recently to make poke at home and it was delicious. The sliced frozen beef and pork are also things I typically keep on hand for stir fry dishes or shabu at home. The best is when their marinated short ribs are on sale for $8.99 lbs. (give me 4lbs)! Whatever you come here for, there's always something to bring home. Zion has great prices for produce and I often find myself shopping more than I anticipated.

I update this Korean Market located on Irvine blvd. My last review was more on their custom service. But this time is only for the products they carry in store. Several times I accidentally bought the Korean ramens from this Zion Market. More than 3 times I had purchased the ramens that has less than 2 months left. Usually the ramens are expired last for 1 year. Which means they got their ramens has expiration less than 6 months from Korea or the distributors. That is very profitable business purchasing, but not so great for their customers. Today purchased 4 fresh onions. Once I cut them into half, I realized that these onions were frozen before they were displayed. How they doing business makes me really sick. Because I had a fresh products business for over 10 years. We never had those kind of frozen vegetables and fruits for fresh products. Just sicken me today.

This place is disgusting to shop. Everything is unorganized and prices don't match. It's filthy and dirty including bathrooms. I found the manager to be very rude and verbally aggressive. I don't recommend coming to this store until management fix their issues. Shop at H-Mart for your alternative Korean produce. It's cleaner and more organized. Even when emailing the company, the person responding/replying is rude and disrespectful.

Bring Zion back to Hawaiian Gardens! Our local Zion closed down during the pandemic. It wasn't as big as the one in Irvine. I love the fresh produce and fruit. I like that this place has little vendors. Super good bites.

Produce section. Oman. Cheap but it's all nearly rotten!!! A man asked the man for fresh yam bc it's NOT FRESH and the worker goes I KNOW! so they all know it not fresh. Picked up onions and it's rotten to the core. Wasted money.

Courteous service. Clean and tidy store. Fresh Asian products. Give them a try! PRO TIP: Remember to download their Presto rewards app so you can get some money back!

I stop here every time I'm in Irvine while visiting my son. This store has a great selection. If you're looking for that certain Asian item, Zion Market is certain to carry it in their store. I'm sad my son just graduated from UCI, now I won't be visiting Zion Market as often. Go check them out!

First time shopping at this location and probably the last. Produce section was not good with rotten fruit and insects. Lots of flying bugs. Ultimately I Judge a grocery store by its produce section and how well it's kept. They also have too many items in the aisles blocking the shelving or freezer case. I like the food vendors inside the store and would go back to buy from them again.

Creative M.

Yelp
Don't expect they have customer service here, staff is rude especially in the zipbap to go food area. They prepackaged the lunch box type of food and we bought a few of those but it was not good. For groceries, meat is ridiculously expensive, sometimes you can find good deal on the vegetables and fruits. One time I accidentally bought their rice for over $30 forgot to check the price. Sometimes there's no price tag so don't know exactly how much is it. But overall not attractive enough for me to come all the way from Tustin even just 15 minutes drive.

Sommer C. S.

Yelp
I love Zion market! I do 90% of my shopping here. They have the best selection of dried seaweed out of all of the Asian markets in Irvine. They run great sales, then it's really stock up time, lol. The cashiers are always so sweet. You'll also find inexpensive fresh sushi & anything & everything you could possibly need. I don't understand why they have the low ratings here, it's absolutely not valid. I actually go to all 3 locations because of the selection, value & convenience. There's one on Jeffrey & the 405 and one in Buena Park on Beach Blvd. So happy I found Zion a few years ago. I look forward to shopping when I'm going to Zion Markets and I feel we are very lucky to have them here in Irvine.

Doesn't the name Zion just sound fun & intriguing? Maybe I'm just strange because I love the letter Z & when I see the word Zion in front of market, I have to stop in! However I didn't realize it was a Korean market... but hey those are right up my alley! You see I love trying foreign cleaning products. Don't get me wrong I love ramen & kbbq but when I go into these special niche stores I always always check out the non food aisle - you truly never know what you may find! My first trip in here, I found exactly what I needed & was looking for...for weeks! Yup...TOILET PAPER! A LOT OF IT! & it wasn't the annoying 1 ply that costs $5 a roll either! Instead I found very cute cherry blossom purple printed toilet paper! A huge pack for about $25. Woohoo!! There was no shortage of it either, there was plenty to go around as I first saw it in the store still wrapped in shrink wrapped sitting on a palette. I also found other products that I haven't seen in any other special niche market. I was able to get my hands on shea butter saffron fabric softener, Korean febreeze, hand soap, body wash & shampoo. & the best find?? Toothpaste that has a pump! (see photo) There was a great variety!! ALSO... found the korean wet wipes I have been looking for forever here!! I love this lil market, has more than H Mart. I'll for sure be back when I want to stock up on foreign cleaning products/non food items!

This place is a scam!!!!!!!! They try to rob you on price. I try to get something for $9.99 and they rang me up for $19.99 and the store manger said they must have messed up in the back or something. And still try's to sell it to me for $19.99. Even when the price tag matches the description on the packaging. Shame on them. Hope they close down and bring something else back.

I grab the couple bag of wasabi peas but there was a rat poop on the package. The market is extremely dirty, I am not surprised.

There are dozens of reviews mentioning how the staff treat customers poorly, so my review should come as no surprise. I think it's actually pretty funny how petty they can be. I picked up a handheld shopping basket near the entrance, but didn't notice a second basket stuck to mine. A few minutes later the second basket fell to the ground. I pushed it out of the way of customers, but I didn't put it back with the stack. I thought there was a "Clean Baskets Only" sign near the stack, so I figured the associates disinfect them before putting them back, so I didn't want to put a used one there. The sign could've been left over from the start of the pandemic, though. Seconds later an associate speaks to me, but due to a language barrier, I couldn't understand, so I left the basket where I originally tucked it. I figured a worker would know better where to put it than a customer. Yes, it does create a bit more unnecessary work for them, but sometimes associates prefer to put things back themselves since customers aren't always helpful when they're trying to help. About five minutes later I'm in one of the aisles, and that same associate is carrying my second basket and is trying to communicate with me once again, but even though I tried, I really couldn't understand what she was saying. All I could make out was her saying the basket she was holding was stuck to mine, and the word "outside" while pointing toward the doors. I was a bit confused at first since the baskets aren't kept outside, but I kept shopping. Then it dawned on me - She was trying to kick me out and was pointing for me to go "outside." Who kicks a paying customer out of a store for leaving a basket where it doesn't belong? I get that it's frustrating when customers create extra work for associates, but I thought this was an overreaction. Also, the walk to the basket stack was shorter than her walk to try to find me down one of the aisles, so she could've easily put it back herself (after disinfecting it if that was store policy). Also, I have to mention the shoplifter "Wall of Shame" they have on display at the entrance. They print out fliers including a frame of the culprit from their CCTV footage in order to shame them. Yeah, shoplifters suck and are clearly in the wrong, but it's pretty amusing.

I really love shopping here for my fresh veggies and great sushi market inside note the sushi mark down is everyday around 4 pm includes sashimi all rolls great fresh and available all day. The produce section is superior to any regular grocery store pricing is better than other store I have been it is consistent which is why I continually shop here. Korean based bakery kimchi etc is easy to find and everyone is exceptionally nice. I always feel welcome and drive a distance to come ... it is worth it!

Covid-19 kbbq meat run. I usually visit h mart for this but figured I try this place out for kbbq brisket. First impression, the store did not have any wipes or sanitation for carts which h mart does. The store is quite old even though it's in a nice plaza in Irvine. The appearance of the overall store was just not comparable to my normal h mart locations. The store seemed a bit more messy. The veggies weren't nicely packaged and the quality of fruits and veggies just didn't seem that great. I did however like the choice in lamb shabu meat and Wagyu shabu meat options. H mart does not have the frozen thinly sliced lamb or wagyu. The brisket I bought was very beefy and didn't cook like my normal brisket. The wagyu was amazing and the prices are reasonable. In conclusion, if I need lamb or wagyu shabu, I will make a run here. However, if I want regular beef brisket. Fruits and veggies, I will still go to H mart. Much better shopping experience and ambience.

I was shocked to see that Zion had three stars. Their produce is fresh and comparable to other surrounding Asian markets. I prefer going here than Hmart because this store is bigger and has more selection. PARKING: This place is busy so the parking lot can get hectic. However, it shouldn't be too difficult to find parking. INSIDE: The interior is a bit outdated, but they've done a sufficient job making it a clean environment. There also is a number of cool food establishments inside the market (Furai Chicken, Mochinut, Paris Baguette etc.). Their small prepared foods section is always a joy to walk around as well. I like their kimchi dumplings! THE WAIT: There was a line to get in, but it moved relatively quickly (about 5-10 mins). The security guard checked our temperature before letting us in. PRODUCE: Some produce deals might be a little more expensive than places in Rowland Heights but given that it's Irvine, it's understandable. When it's the right time of the year, their fuji apples are amazingly crisp and sweet! OTHER GOODS: This place is packed with Korean and other Asian snacks and goods. I'm impressed by their inventory and I always seem to find a new snack to try. MAIN TAKEAWAY: Give this place a chance! Their weekly specials are nice, and their prepared foods are tasty as well.

Worst service here. I have been a loyal customer devoted to going to Zion over Hmart for over 15 years. Today that's all about to change. Zion finally brought back their samples, so I asked the lady who was handling the station for a dumpling sample. She gave me a funny look and said that I was her first customer. After she handed me the sample, I immediately said thank you. She gave me a dirty look and said "only thank you?" It was in such a nasty tone too. I was a little shook and confused bc I was unsure of what she actually wanted me to say to her. As I was walking away, she asked if I was Chinese in a rude way. I told her I wasn't Chinese. A little confused what she was trying to get at. Was it bc I didn't pick up a bag of dumplings from her? The dumpling were mediocre so why would I purchase it? The samples are there for customers to purchase if they desire to and not for customers to be ridiculed for if they chose otherwise. After I paid for my groceries, I waited for the manager to approach me at customer service so I could explain the rude encounter with her worker. It took a while for the manager to realize that I was waiting for customer service and even the lady who had checked me out had to get her attention a few times. Was it bc I looked Chinese? Once she came to me, I explained the situation, and even the manager didn't seem that apologetic. She told me she was going to talk to that lady and that she was sorry that this happened to me, but she kind of just brushed me off and made me feel as if she wasn't going to retrain her workers. Hmart has my heart forever now

if you want to shop for anything asian, this Zion market has everything. from fresh veggies to frozen meats for shabu shabu or hotpot and they have the ramen i like and condiments. I just wish they have seating area to enjoy Paris Baguette baked goods and Fried wings i like from there. But what i really like about this place is the open layout that Hmart doesn't have. And it's not crowded unlike HMart. Lots of parking too.

The employees are rude and just plain horrible. There is no sugarcoating it. They are even rude to children. No need for me to go back. I can no longer subscribe to being price gouged then getting slapped across the face on the way out. I would rather drive to another city to shop than return to Zion Market, Irvine Blvd. You can "bet your bottom dollar" Zion Market will loose many customers to the newly opened H Mart. Sayonara rude people.

We do not buy much from Zion Market but we do find some staples there at a good price. Their produce, while cheaper than other stores, is often of lower quality, and must be consumed within the first couple of days. Zion Market also has a shopping rewards app. You get $2 back after spending $200 with them. You can get a discount on some items at checkout when using their app.

Great little supermarket hidden in the plaza. The produce is cheap and fresh and is definitely my favorite place to get produce versus the other supermarkets in the area. Love all the Korean snacks, too. Can get busy during weekends and after work, but that's to be expected. Note that the hours posted on Yelp do not reflect the current hours so make sure to check the signs posted on the door for accurate hours. When I tried to go at 8am last week, the store didn't actually open until 8:30.

Mostly I don't go to Zion due to quality issue and bad customer service but last night I need cucumber in last minute so I bought in Zion. But it's all trash. It has hole and dried inside. I don't really understand how they sell this products to customers.( it's not my first time) "Sale" means bargain not throwing trash to customer. Sucks!!!!!
