This is probably my favorite asian market around. They have so much good stuff. The kimchi is fresh and delicious, the service is always nice. The onigiri has never failed me and they have korean corn dogs and tteokbokki and a whole ramen bar. It's well organized and it's just fun and nice to shop in. The radish kimchi is my favorite. Also dont pass up the salmon onigiri. That salmon is soooo flavorful! It's also not bad pricewise. I will be coming back!

The Korean hot dogs I got the original mozzarella and the hot Cheetos one with mozzarella and they were both absolutely delicious and the place was very clean and where you would get the hot dogs was very pretty and a whole vibe, and the people were very nice and friendly. I will be going back and it was amazing. I found out about Korean hot dogs when I was in Louisville but I don't live around there so this is the next best thing!!!!

Tried the Korean Fried Chicken. Super flavorful and juicy. Only three complaints: Hate the radish on top, it's very salty (so it'll be hard if you don't have a drink), and the seasoning, while well seasoned, it's coated on the outside and not within the breading, so sometimes if you hit an overly seasoned patch, it's either overwhelming or gritty. Still love it here!

My go-to Asian market in town. They specialize in Korean ingredients but also have tons of Japanese ingredients and few other things. I mostly go for their banchan, which they have a large selection of. I also go for the mushrooms, specifically maitake (hen of the woods). They always have pre-prepared meals and onigiri too. I go literally every week for the essentials.

This is a good Asian market. It has a variety of products but leans more Korean. You will find a good selection of produce and a excellent selection of kimchi with a lot of different varieties here; quite a few prepared Korean side dishes; an array of snack foods; and plenty of your staples (noodles, soy sauces, dried beans/mushrooms, rice, flours); etc. They also have a few beauty products and a selection of housewares. If you are looking for a good Asian market, make sure to check them out.
