Arirang is one of the best places in El Paso for authentic Korean and Japanese groceries and…read moreprepared foods. Having just returned from Japan, walking through the store brought back a lot of great memories. It has that familiar atmosphere, with a wonderful selection of imported products that can be difficult to find elsewhere in the area. The store carries an impressive variety of Korean and Japanese ingredients, snacks, frozen foods, beverages, and fresh produce. Their prepared food section is also worth a visit. The Korean dumplings are outstanding, especially the glass noodle dumplings, which are among my favorites. They also offer delicious japchae, kimchi jjigae, and many other ready-to-enjoy Korean specialties. The store recently came under new management, so unfortunately the 10% military discount is no longer available. Some imported items are definitely on the expensive side, but that is to be expected with specialty products shipped from overseas. Overall, I still find the pricing to be fair, particularly considering the quality, authenticity, and selection. What truly keeps me coming back is the customer service. Marianna and Beth are always welcoming, friendly, and incredibly helpful. They take the time to answer questions, recommend products, and make every visit enjoyable. So, If you're looking for authentic Korean or Japanese ingredients, prepared meals, or simply want to experience a taste of East Asia, Arirang is absolutely worth a visit!!!

This is my favorite ethnic market in El Paso. It's our mini HMart. I am pretty sure it is Korean…read moreowned, but it does also stock a good selection of other assorted Asian ingredients, too. A very good selection for the size of the store. They have limited produce and side dishes, but they are excellent quality. The refrigerated cases and the two large frozen sections are excellent. They also sell a good variety of base ingredients, oils, vinegars, soy sauces, jangs, spices, seasoning mixes and condiments. And a whole aisle of instant ramen and other instant noodles! Heavy on Korean options, but they also have some Japanese, Indonesian and other offerings. There are tea and snack sections too. And a good rice selection - multiple varieties of Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai and more. Service is always quick and efficient. The store is very clean and I feel confident and safe buying my food there.

When I walked in I was greeted by a lady named Tracy whom I assume must be the owner, but let me tell you she was superrrrr sweet and friendly. They had just recently opened so she was in process of labeling the shelves with prices. I'm so HAPPY this place is close to home and they have so many items that are extremely hard to get. This little market is very organized and super clean. They carry all sorts of Asian items to include a variety of seafood items you would NEVER be able to find anywhere. Oh and they also have a variety of produce for any Asian cuisine you would never be able to find in El Paso but ONLY here. I'm 1000% coming back!! Enjoy my pics :)

I am review from the perspective of a person who live where there is a bunch of Asian grocery…read morestores. I am passing through and when I went in the store almost all the products sold were definitely overpriced. Almost an 80% mark up on a bunch of the items. Some of them are reasonable but others are out of this world. I suspect it's because it's the only Asian store for miles. If you're looking for Asian items I'd recommend checking Walmart or Lowe's first before coming here since you might be able to find it for a significantly lower price. For instance, the buldak ramen is sold at Aikos for 13 dollars but Walmart sells them for 7. Aikos definitely has more variety tho! The owner is nice!

I was super excited to hear about a Chinese market here in El Paso. Coming from Brooklyn to Dallas…read moreand now El Paso I've been missing the ease of just grabbing dumplings or any sauces I need. I was pleasantly surprised with the selection available. Sadly the pricing reflects the fact that you're in El Paso. Nearly double what you'd pay at a Chinese market. So that stinks. It beggars can't be choosers. Some of the items didn't look too fresh and it was a little dusty in some spots. So not a lot of rotation of products. But overall was happy to grab some dumplings and egg rolls!

The crayfish were in little net bags, I did see movement so I grabbed 4bags. 3.3lbs of those were dead. The cashier failed to give us our clams, I called them when we got home she apologized for "forgetting to give us our bag". We live far west and in traffic the drive is over 30mins. The Manager eventually joined the call and told me I had to pick up my clams that day (we wouldn't even have made it in time as they were about to close) or I would lose my money because that was our responsibility. I asked if he could just give me a credit for the dead seafood and the clams they kept. I took a video of the dead crayfish and weighed them in a scale. He absolutely refused and became hostile on the phone. I told him I would call my bank, and take to social media so consumers would know who they are dealing with. They kept taunting me and deleting my comments. He posted a sign about bags and posted that on TikTok, then also posted something stating "if you don't know how to handle live seafood, don't buy it". I have lived on the coast for a large part of my life and I'm very familiar with handling seafood. This is incredibly childish and unprofessional. The amount for these items totaled approximately $40-50, I spent almost $200. I honestly didn't see a big deal. I told them I would never return, their response was "THANK GOD!".

Despite its modest size, it offers an impressive selection of Asian condiments, sauces, spices, noodles, fresh vegetables, and many of the specialty ingredients needed to prepare a traditional bowl of pho from scratch. One of the store's greatest strengths is its friendly, personal service. An extends a warm welcome and is always happy to help customers find the right ingredients. If you're unsure what you need for a pho recipe or another Asian dish, don't hesitate to ask--her knowledge and willingness to assist make shopping here a pleasure. The ambiance is simple and functional rather than fancy, but that's part of its local and neighborhood charm. While some items are priced a bit higher than at Arirang, which generally offers better overall value, it's important to remember that operating costs on El Paso's west side are higher. Supporting independent, locally owned specialty markets like this one helps preserve the diversity and convenience they bring to the community. Let's go El Paso let's support Saigon Market!
