Zion Market

My favorite supermarket in Ktown with fresh produce at great price! They always have promotion for fresh fruit. Even better, an additional 5% discount when shopping after 8pm and less crowded. Easy parking structure with 1st hour free.

Newly growing Korean supermarket located in the heart of Koreatown. Lots of your typical Korean specialty products along with the standard selection of supermarket products. There are also ready meals that just require reheating as well as fun snacks and desserts that may be a appealing. There are some shared retail spaces slowly developing alongside this market. There is a parking garage alongside this store but I’m unsure about the rates or discounts. It’s a mixed use building and the upper floors are housing units.

Wow I'm impressed this market is full of good things. This is the third time that I come and everything is fresh. Last time I got a box of strawberries for a$ buck. Today I went and surprise I bought a bag of Ceasar salad for a buck ,can't beat that price. I had bought this same salad at costco for more that $6.00. I bag of salad is good for 2 people.

I shop here almost every week for groceries, but I wanted to point out that the produce quality can be hit or miss. For example, we went in during the evening and purchased some peaches that were plastic-wrapped. After bringing them home and refrigerating them, I checked them the next morning and found that one of the peaches already had mold. This isn’t the first time this has happened. In my experience, some of the discounted produce here starts growing mold by the very next day. I’m sharing this because the mold issue doesn’t seem to be an isolated incident. To be fair, this may be why they offer nightly discounts on produce (though the discount is only a few cents per item), but I’ve heard this program will be discontinued after 1/31/26. On a brighter note, I suppose this means the produce is fresh and free of heavy preservatives—and I can probably still eat the peach that wasn't next to the moldy one. Still, that works out to about $2 for a single peach.

A phenomenal place! Too adorable and interesting range of selection. One might not be able to find everything that you can find at your average convenience grocery store, but definitely got its special products and goodies! This is more of Korean product oriented store. Epic bargain sales almost every other day! They even have cute, fresh cuthup fruit heart bowls now! 🍓🩵🥝🍉

They relocated to a new location and they have been soft opening since 08/22/2024 (you have to enter from the parking lot, I don't think you can enter from the street yet.) They said that the official opening will be in a month. Those people complained about spoiled food ... when you buy discounted or special sale price items you need to really pay attention to the quality of their freshness. Don't just grab it because it was a low price. The prices at Zion are lower compared to H Mart.

Horrible!! I don't want to give even one star. They sell rotten groceries. I bought peppers and peaches the other day, the pepper seeds were all black and peaches were rotten. I bought a pack of avocados for $3.99 yesterday, two of them were rotten, it was black color around the seed. I did't even cut the rest; I went to return it even though the distance is inconvenient. I had already discarded the receipt, but I still went back to the store. The middle-aged korean woman was extremely rude. Regardless the price or return, I felt offended. I'll never go back the store anymore.

I recently checked out Zion Market's new location since it moved from Western. It is just as big as the previous location, with great selections of all kinds of stuff one can look for in any Asian market. I must say that I felt like I was robbing the place when I saw the price of many fresh fruits and vegetables were $0.99 per pound or $0.99 per 3 pounds. We had a great time shopping and bought way more than what we thought we would. Go check it out.

Zion Market is such a delightful market. The staff are so kind and always willing to help. The price is always right. It is clean and accessible. My friend is in a wheelchair and he was able to get around with any issues. Zion Market food is super FRESH. i LOVED looking at the seafood. It was very fresh. They have samples to try for items that you may not even consider. Great market.

Loved my first experience here! It's very organized, clean, and lots is restocked during your visit. The fruits and produce sales are unlike any other grocery store. I got all of the tomatoes pictured below for just $8 and three bundles of green onions for $1. Crazy good deals here. The samples are also amazing. I got a decent sized sample of shin ramen, and it was incredible. I'm really excited to come back here.

i've only been to the zion market in irvine so i was delighted they opened one closer to me!! garage parking free for 1 hour which is enough time to get all my checklist items & not get distracted & linger for too long in the snack aisle! i enjoy how clean & well lit the market is. they have a decent variety of produce & korean products, & typically at a more affordable price than hmart. however i do think hmart takes the cake for more items & availability of products.

The Zion market is located on the ground level of the commercial and residential building. Parking is a bit confusing, and it's very easy to go to the resident parking entrance according to the map address. You need to drive up the steep hill and park on the second level, and then take the elevator down to the grocery store. Parking is free for the first hour, then $2 every 15 minutes. The grocery store is relatively small in the scale, although it carries most vegetables, fruits, meat, seafood, snacks, and deli etc. you'll expect from a Korean market, with affordable prices. My experience is overall positive at this grocery store, and I would recommend this location.

First hour parking is free. The place is spacious and clean. Plenty if vegetables and fruits. Price wise? Similar to other markets. It's my firat visit to Zion Market. For some reason, this market doesn't feels right yet. Not my 1st choice of market. But doesn't mean it's no good. Just bot familiar with the store. Will definitely come back and try it again. What I like is that the cash register aren't busy. No long lineup.

I love Zion Market and I'm so happy it relocated to this new location in the 'hood. It's so convenient and has become my favorite Korean supermarket! If you haven't been to Zion Market, now is a great time to try it because they are doing a LABUBU GIVEAWAY EVENT! haha They're so hot right now and giving 1 away a day with a special Zion Market shirt on~~ so kawaiiiiii^^~ Other than fun promos, this store always feel less busy than competing spots. Their parking garage is a bit easier to navigate than competitors, as well. Parking under 1 hour is FREE in the garage! But note, even 5 minutes over will cost you! It is minimal but I've been over 5 minutes a couple times and then you DO have to pay. It's just $2, but good to keep in mind. Sales switch on Thursdays and I like following their deals via their app which also serves as your store discount card. Zion always has everything I need - using the term loosely because I also buy more snacks than any human could possibly want here, I hardly 'need' them. haha :) Keep an eye on end caps for sales, as well! I got black tea hydrogel eye patches for $1.99 today for 20! Great deal and I use these daily. Things are usually well stocked but I have seen items on sale, sell out often. Everything is always clean, with staff always keeping the store organized and clean - definitely good attention to detail here. Great prices and health on the fruits & veggies, as well. Organized, good prices and good selection - just a higher quality Korean market. Zion Market has a few other businesses sharing space with them~ There is a Paris Baguette stocked full of fresh goods. A few tables if you want to sit at but their selection is always surprisingly fresh & vast. Concerto Bakery & Coffee is inside Zion - iykyk. An ahjeema clothing store, bless them. A little pharmacy. A small salon. All the usual suspects. Honestly, this is the best Korean market in Koreatown rn and I'm a big fan! I'll absolutely be back.

I don't know about you guys but I really like this place. Some stray perks: It's got validated parking in K-Town (so necessary) After 7 PM everything is 5% off The kalbi is not expensive and when you throw it on a grill you get some restaurant-grade stuff Watermelon is solid Lots of interesting desserts (to me, at least, as a regular of Ralphs and TJ's) Can get some other shopping done in the area Relaxed ambiance (and little traffic) after 8 as well My advice? Go on a Sunday or Monday night after traffic dies down around 8, get all the groceries you need (at 5% off) and think about how much of a genius you are at meal prep. Cashiers seem nice, idk what else you want me to say here Yelp haha. Will be back again and again!

4.5 stars This is my first time shopping at Zion Market and I'm pretty impressed with it. There were some really good deals on fresh produce, pantry essentials, and frozen food today. The aisles were nice and spacious and there's 1 hr free parking for the grocery store. Parking is located on the 2nd floor and the spaces are big. Overall, a very comfortable shopping experience. I ended up purchasing way more than I intended here! Will definitely come back.

We were walking around K-town and came here after we tried Out of Ordi which is just across the street. The market is new and located on the first floor of an apartment building and there was a Paris Baguette inside which was very clean. I wasn't going to get anything but once I saw the produce prices (so cheap), I got some veggies and fruits and got to sample some ramen noodle. Overall, place is very clean and there wasn't a long line and service was quick.

3525 W. 8th! When I moved to LA, this space was a different giant Korean supermarket (Assi Market). Then LA's wrecking ball took over. Now it's a brand new Zion Market with 400 Rise Korea luxury apartments on top. LA's Zion Market has also moved a lot. It started at City Center on 6th Street, then moved to its own building at 888 S. Vermont, then moved again to this, its current location. And it's awesome. Up the Zion ramp to tons of free parking. At the market level, a dozen shops are cheduled to open around the just-opened Paris Baguette (which followed Zion from the Vermont location). Hard to go wrong with a market that's new new new. Everything is so well-displayed in new cabinets and cases. Like most Korean markets, exceptionally low prices on fruits and vegetables. Pepero Day is coming soon, time to check out ZIon and see what's what.

The good: This Korean market was pristine! All of the shelves were neatly organized with all of the bottled and jars facing forward and pulled to the front. It was the most immaculate grocery store I've ever seen. The bathrooms were clean too. The meat and fish section didn't smell. The prepared foods and pickled vegetables were so nicely packaged with uniform appearances. They had a fill your own box with grains or rice section. The bad: The clothing store I saw selling aprons wasn't open when I came. The interesting: They have other shops by the front of the market that include a clothing shop and Paris Baguette.

It's been awhile since I been here to shop. On a Saturday 8am morning in April, we drove up to parking garage and see the ticket machine. The 1st free hour then every minute is $2. Today, the Zion had very good fruit and vegetable deals. It was too early for fried chicken. They had a bag of chicken skins and 10pieces of chicken wings. Next to it, they have lots of banchan items. The aisles are clean and wide. There was 2 cashiers so it was fast. More people came after we left before the hour.

i love zion market! it's so hard to find a grocery store with good prices and fresh produce where I live so I drive out to this market. Some helpful tips: there is a parking structure. the first hour is free and after that you pay. BUT Zion market validates so you can get a second hour for free. To validate, just bring your parking ticket to the cashier when you check out. this branch DOES take EBT which is so nice! The grocery store is clean and well-maintained with so much produce (SOOO much I absolutely love it since the sale items are all seasonal produce and high quality, make sure you know how to pick your produce so you can get the best quality ones, I usually meal prep my fruits and veggies for the week and these all hold up really well) Downloading the app! If you regularly shop here the points build up pretty fast, especially if you're buying your proteins here. The weekly sale refreshes every Thursday. The app also says you can get a 5% off discount after 8 pm! (this is also nice because traffic dies down by then) If you are a college student or a remote worker I suggest going to a cafe to work during the day and going grocery shopping at night! there's plenty of cafes in ktown with free parking!

Came here 9.16.24 It's soft opening but grand opening will be in late October it seems? The deli is not open yet, no seafood at all except for a few sashimi trays The parking has not signage where the elevators are and unclear where to exit. It's easily 1/2 or even worst 1/3 of the size of the previous Zion market in Ktown. The produce prices are still good but the cleaniness is still top notch and bright and airy feel. They didn't have any of those grab and go lunch trays either which is unfortunate. It still looks like they were installing shelves on the wall and getting items fully stock on certain aisles. However the limited inventory was still very well priced. I will come back once grand opening finally kicks in at late October 2024.

Newly growing Korean supermarket located in the heart of Koreatown. Lots of your typical Korean specialty products along with the standard selection of supermarket products. There are also ready meals that just require reheating as well as fun snacks and desserts that may be a appealing. There are some shared retail spaces slowly developing alongside this market. There is a parking garage alongside this store but I'm unsure about the rates or discounts. It's a mixed use building and the upper floors are housing units.

This new location is a smaller than the old spot but nonetheless still has amazing deals. I cannot help but go aisle by aisle to take in all the sales. Produce here is priced so unbelievably cheap and quality is so fresh and clean. Huge lemons, 5 for $0.99 - 3 bundles of spinach $0.99. Customer service here is great. Parking structure is brand new, spacious- endless spots. Signs say bring a cart with you but they have some at the entrance. One hour is free, if you go over it is $2 per 15 minutes.

Love this new location as much as the old one. Never lacking any fruits and vegetables I wanted. They're always fresh. And prices are fantastic. Good sales every week. I come here more often than the other Korean markets (H Mart, California, Galleria). Staffs are comprised mainly of senior Koreans who are very sweet and helpful.

Favorite Korean market bc the produce sections, especially the fruit section always seems to have the sweets fruit in season! The Korean fried chicken is good there too! We always grab two and air fry at home for like 6-10 min.! The worst part is the market is the entrance to the parking lot... the sign is small (I used to miss it consistently in the beginning... and the weird steep up, especially in rainy days makes drivers a little nervous

Zion used to have amazing banchan when the Hwang family matriarch was alive. I'm biased because I grew up in San Diego, and even worked at Zion Market for a year when they moved from the small market on Convoy to a larger location on Mercury Street. I would eat the food regularly as an employee, and I continued to shop there for years afterward. The expectation for the amazing food lowered after she passed away. I moved to LA and when the Zion Market opened up in City Center on 6th, many things were no longer the same, but I could still expect a high amount of quality. Then the move to Vermont Avenue. It was still Zion at heart, but the banchan began to lose its luster and it was a lot more generic. Regardless, it still tasted great. I've been to this new Zion location a few times, and I've watched as the food from Chef Kang in the refrigerated case seems to just sit on the shelves. Now I know why: The food is rather lackluster. The flavors are misbalanced, and rather bland. I have tried several of the banchan and I've walked away disappointed each time. The containers are difficult to open because they're made of disposable plastic that is heat sealed. While very cute and reminiscent of Korea, the overall look is not great, and the presentation of the packaging is rather haphazard and inconsistent. Nothing looks impressive, and the flavors match the packaging. Everything is somewhat underseasoned and some things are even gummy. In particular, the burdock root, the lotus root, the perilla leaf kimchi, and the marinated eggs were disappointing. If you're an elder person who needs a low salt diet and you don't care much for flavor, I suppose the side dishes here are passable. If you have a discerning palate, look elsewhere. There's a reason the food isn't moving. It doesn't look like this Zion location is going to have enough business to sustain itself either. It's truly the end of an era where H Mart has taken over and places like this can't compete. My heart is breaking because I have such an emotional attachment to Zion Market.

This place is amazing! I had no idea it was there after over a year living down the street. But they have an amazing selection of meats, veggies, and snacks. The prices are super reasonable and they also do samples! If you're looking for the viral peach ice cream they always have it in stock! The staff are super nice and they have free parking!

Zion Market finally opened up their new Ktown location right beneath Rise Apartment. It is smaller than the previous location in Vermont but it still has an airy and spacious vibe. They are still at their soft opening stage so they don't have much at their hot food, seafood, and banchan section but their produce and meat sections are pretty fresh with a wide range of selections. They sell Chef Kang's food such as galbi jjim, soups, etc. which was a surprise and I had to try it out. I bought a galbi jjim which was only $16 for a generous portion and it even tasted pretty good. Oh and there is a Paris Baguette located inside if you're a PB or pastry fan in general. The workers from cashiers, tasting corners to securities were all very friendly and welcoming. They have very spacious parking but the only thing I didn't like was the elevator. It closes so fast and when you press the button to let it stay open it just closes on you. There is only one elevator working right now which can be a bit annoying. Other than that everything else was to my liking so I will be back when they are fully stocked with more products and precooked items.

Was bummed when the other zion market closed because it was closer, but I'm glad I found this new one. They have a lot of stuff but it feels smaller some how. Love that they had korean fried chicken but bummed that they didn't have bowls like the other one. 30min parking validation if you spend min $20 which is easy if you buy some rib eye meat.

It's clean, organized, and has good quality produce. A nice selection of meats and fish. The staff is friendly and helpful. I've added Zion to my supermarket rotation!

I personally prefer their previous location off Vermont, but Zion Market never disappoints. There is always a sale (whether with produce, meats, snacks, or frozen foods), and it's nicely maintained. This particular location is located in the same building as an apartment complex, and for some reason, it feels a tad smaller than other Zion Markets I've been to. The parking lot is a little compact to navigate, so be careful when driving because Ktown drivers are something else. I was able to find two elevators to the ground level market itself, but one of them was out of order while the only working one was really slow. I do enjoy their app where you can scan your receipts and save points for rewards.

Nice new market but in an inconvenient location and horrible customer service. They don't honor their advertised pricing and their corporate response was lackluster in response to an inquiry. Although I love their OC locations, cannot recommend their location on 8th Street in Ktown.

Zion Market is finally back in LA, after so so many months of closing from a different LA location. The new Zion is pretty much the same as the old Zion: awesome. Great quality products for great prices! This place makes me happy whenever I go past the register after paying. Sometimes it's unbelievable. Such low prices without sacrificing quality. In fact, quality is better!

Great prices, full soju flavors, seafood, delicious ramen, latin produces, beer, wine, fruits

I brought rice cake on 11/17 and open on 11/24, rice cakes had moles and manger didn't even said sorry

Soon to open at Oxford and 8th St. Had Great prices at previous locations . Should be opening Soon.

It was my first time here. The parking machine didn't work and I didn't get a ticket. I thought that was normal. After shopping, I was leaving the parking lot and the door wouldn't open so I asked for help and they told me to press the lost ticket button. When I did that, they asked me to pay 20 dollars. I paid it and they said there was no way to get a refund. I really don't want to come here again.

Wow! I am LOVING this market. It has everything this Korean American can ask for in terms of specialty items and your everyday fare. and it's a stone's throw away from my apartment building. Ralph's? and unfriendly/incompetent service/dirty aisles? buh-bye!

Great selection of Korean food and snacks as well as veggies and exotic fruits. Really affordable as well compared to Ralph's or Kmart
