The only place to buy kimchi in Savannah. The owner is super nice, she makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable. It is a very small store but everything is available and organized. Unfortunately due to "commercial" stores, she can only order a small amount at a time. It is truly the only authentic Korean convenience in Savannah. read more

Asia Market (AM) is one of a handful of Asian grocery stores in Savannah and surrounding areas, but more specifically, only one of two stores that focuses on Korean specialty items. I learned this early on when we first moved to the area, because priorities, People! I need to know where I can get my Korean goods! - Parking - Center lot. Located in a strip mall, the parking is limited and a little tight in front of the store, but hey, I'm not complaining. It's free parking. - Vibe - It's a tiny store. I mean, like 2 aisles tiny. So, if you can't handle small spaces, be warned. However, the owner has made good use of every inch of real estate in there, but organized. Reminds me of the way small biz owners set up their small spaces in markets in Korea. No wasting any space here. Think of it as Aldi in terms of product selection as compared to a Kroger. Smaller, easier to navigate and I can get all my basics. - TLC - I always see the same Ajjumma (Ma'am in Korean). She is the owner, I'm sure. She's always really sweet, gives service with a smile and when my kids are with me, she always gives them a little complimentary Rice Cracker snack packet. They clearly love her, LOL! - Goods - The prices are lower at AM between the two Korean grocery stores, even though it's the smaller store. Those two aisles are stocked with the basics and I can get everything I need to cook my Korean meals, from Gochujang (Hot Red Pepper Paste) to Japchae noods (sweet potato starch noods). I find some of my childhood treats too like Choco-Pie, Go-So-Mi Crackers (a must try if you don't know what these are!) and Banana Oo-You (Milk) which are super expensive, but I think it's just the price of importing them. My husband wasn't really too happy that I bought 6 juice box sizes of Banana Milk for $9, but hey, $9 is worth it for the walk down memory lane for a few minutes! On the second aisle, the freezer and fridges line the wall and I buy mostly all of my frozen and refrigerated items there, things I can't get online, like dumplings, oval rice cakes, both things I needed to make Ddukmanduguk (Dumpling Rice Cake soup) that Korean typically eat on Lunar New Year, which was the reason for my recent visit. The kimchi they sell is from Atlanta and it's pretty decent. For one of those big plastic containers (like when you get Pho broth packed to go, maybe a pint size?), it's about $8? Not bad considering Kimchi is a PITA to make. The good news is, every time I buy one, it's in the beginning stages which is the stage I really don't like, but it's an indication that it was made and delivered to the store recently. I got the Green Plum juice on my recent visit and I thought it was pretty tasty! I got this as an exchange for the Jeju Clementine juice I originally purchased because it had just expired. - Heads Up - Pro tip - if you see Hangul (Korean alphabet) on the store sign, it's most likely Korean owned, which probably means it's a Korean specific grocery store. I know some people were not too happy about the store name, but hey, there is Kimchi sold at big chain grocery stores and I wouldn't call it Kimchi. Know what I mean? If I plan ahead, I usually place my non-perishable order online with a well known Korean grocery store in the North East, but this is the place I go for all my last minute needs and all the perishable stuff. It won't have everything in 10 different flavors, but it should get you the basics! Note to self for future: Try the Jeju Clementine Juice and the Fish Waffle Red Bean Ice Cream Sandwich! read more

See all

Sweet Korean grandmother is usually whipping up something in the back, and ready to check you out. I usually pick up the fresh kimchi and some of her prepared sides in the display case. This shop only has two-aisles and mainly Korean products. read more

As some of the other reviews mentioned, it's small. But, they have homemade kimchi, and it's AMAZING. The 5 stars is for that alone. They have a couple things I haven't found at the other Asian grocery stores in Savannah, like hot chili paste. Go for the kimchi. Seriously. read more

This place has the freshest kimchi in town! I absolutely love it! The lady who works there is super nice and you always get a treat when you checkout. read more

Great find in Savannah if you are preparing Asian dishes at home. I picked up some sushi supplies and Green Tea Ice Cream. Yummmmmy! read more

Asia Market - Storefront in Strip center. Looks small, but packed with staple grocery items. Tofu dirt cheap. - Grocery Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

A fellow yelper told me about this tiny little Korean-based store as I was looking for a few certain ingredients and I decided to go and try them out. After visiting a few other Asian grocery stores in the area, while there are some good ones, others are not so good so I was glad when I was recommended by a trustworthy source. This market is Korean-based and has, what seems like, almost all the essentials. I was delighted when I walked in at the organization and selection given such small store. The owner was very nice and answered any question I had as well as showed me some items I was searching for. Her kindness and willing to help definitely influenced me to want to come back and shop with her. I, as a westerner, definitely doesn't know everything there is to Asian cuisine and someone who is willing to help out and maybe let me know a top or trick means a lot to me. Excited to come back and try out some new items! read more

Asian market has all the ingredients for good traditional Korean food. They carry all the essentials to make genuine Korean meals. The prices are good considering they carry the better brand names and that there are no other good Korean markets in the area. Would highly recommend! Also, the ajuma that owns the store is super sweet, was hesitant on coming based on a previous review but after checking the place out, the lady was really kind and welcomed us like family! read more

This is not a Asian market at all, selection is so small, mostly Korean. Nothing here, move along, don't even waste your time. How can you call your store Asian Market if you are just marketing a small part of Asia. Oh how I wish seafood city builds a store in this area and blow all this so called Asian stores in this place. read more

Mostly Korean. Smaller than any Asian market I've been to and probably one of the smallest of the ones here in Savannah. There is one double shelf in the middle to split the store into two aisles. One the first one, the left hand side has some household goods, a small selection of cold beverages, and noodles. The opposite facing side carries snacks and cookies. The other aisle has condiments and sauces while facing a refrigerated/freezer section which stocks kimchee, fish cakes, dumplings, frozen seafood, etc... There is not a large selection, but you can get your basics here. The prices are a little bit cheaper than the other Korean market, and the store owner is very friendly. The store has regular customers, and the owner seems to know what they like b/c those items are the most frequently stocked and will sometimes be sold out. Otherwise, the shelves are a bit bare, except for the ramen section, which has an impressive amount of varieties for a store this size.This is the store I shop at the most. read more

Such an awesome find here in savannah. I could not find rice paper wraps anywhere until I came to this store. They have a huge selection of noodles too which I was very happy about. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Amazing prices and very friendly service! Only 1 star taken away for selection size, but for the size of store they do very well.

Great little grocery store! Everything to prepare amazing asian dishes at home. I had a question on how to cook a few things, and they were very knowledgable and picked out everything I needed to make a delicious meal. read more
