There is even a kitchen where you can get sushi by the box, ready to eat Chinese food by weight and so much more. Staff were friendly and informative and even though the place was packed, we managed to find a place to sit, close to the windows and away from the hustle and bustle of the store, to eat our sushi lunch.

We got some dim sum and honestly it was better than the dim sum restaurant that we were at in Seattle chinatown. Highlight of my visit was running into the service deli employee who speaks the same tai shan dialect as we do as most of the employees spoke mandarin. They carry snacks that we don't have at home. Their bakery section is insane. We bought the Mango Mocha cake and the Mango mochi puff, it was yummy. Overall, its much cleaner than the stores here and carry more selections than I have access at home.

Onigiri dinner wasn't my plan but when I walked in here and saw that the Onigiri were on sale. 2…read morefor $3.98, it seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. That works out to $2 per onigiri and that's got to be the best deal in town for Onigiri, especially given the size of these ones. Got pretty much the same flavors as previously. Mostly Tuna and Salmon onigiris, some of them with mayo, some of them spicy. The one flavor I took this time that was a new one for us was Kimchi Onigiri. I had tried Kimchi Onigiri earlier this year from Market Ribbon and I absolutely loved it. This one from Kim's Mart wasn't bad but personally, I prefer the one from Market Ribbon. The flavor from that one tastes better somehow. The Onigiri here are better when purchased directly from the Zenya food stall in International Village, but for a quick, affordable and cold bite to eat on a hot summer's day, 2 for $3.98 is pretty hard to beat!

Even if you mention it to the cashiers they don't care and won't honour the price that was shown to the public. And looking at other reviews on google, this doesn't seem to be the first time. Imagine the shock if I didn't check the price and got home to an unexpected price tag. Even though extremely confusing, neither of the price tags shown were accurate for the item. The cashier didn't even apologize for the inaccurate pricing, honour it, or seem to change the price tag. It might be still cheap, but I hate being lied to, so I didn't buy it. Not coming back again! I don't care if it's cheaper than H mart! This will be the very first and very last time I come here. If you do decide to come, remember to check your receipt.

They've got everything from live seafood and fresh produce to sauces, snacks, and noodles from all over Asia. Prices are pretty reasonable too -- definitely cheaper than T&T for most things. That said, the aisles can get pretty tight and crowded, especially on weekends, and the checkout lines move slow sometimes. But the variety makes up for it. Their hot food section and bakery always smell amazing -- I just wish they had a few more ready-to-eat options or maybe a small seating area. Overall, it's a solid local market if you're looking for authentic ingredients and don't mind a bit of chaos. Pro tip: go early in the morning or on weekdays to avoid the rush!

Not my…read morefirst time in this supermarket but I really enjoyed this visit a lot more than any of my previous visits. They have more selection here than I recall there being in the past. It's been a very long time since I last stepped foot in this place so maybe it's just my faulty memory, but it really did seem like they had expanded their offerings at this place. The fried foods were what really stood out for me. I don't recall this being here at all. It took a lot of restraint for me to not buy anything from here. Deep fried squid, deep fried vegetables, deep fried seaweed roll, tornado potato...etc. They all looked so tempting. I grabbed a couple boxes of Kimbap (One Burdock Kimbap and a Fried Gourd Kimbap) plus a Rice drink that was on sale for $1.99. They also had some Triangular Maki (Onigiri) for sale. No Vegetarian flavors. Tuna was the only flavor I could have eaten since I'm Pescatarian. I decided to stick with the Vegetarian Kimbaps though. Upon first glance, I thought the rice drink was made just from rice milk and that it would be dairy free. It was only when I got home that I read the ingredients label and realized that there was actually some milk in it. Not a problem for me, but for anyone who has lactose intolerance...be sure to check ingredient labels always. Anyways, this Rice drink was Sweet Potato flavored. Ever had a Sweet Potato flavored drink? I thought it sounded like a really interesting flavor, and of course...being on sale, that was extra incentive to try something new. I shared it with my daughter. I think she wasn't too impressed with it. Personally, I loved it. It really did taste like sweet potato. I found that quite impressive. This is a great place to stop for quick and tasty take out foods, and interesting drinks like the Sweet Potato Rice drink I tried. Their bakery section looked very tempting as well.

If H-Mart opens in the area too, then people do not have to go all the way to North Road for Korean sundries and food. The parking can be tight, especially those facing the store entrance. Street parking is also available. It closes at 10 pm, later than Club Ribbon, so it's great for those late night snack. The service is ok. A staff member mumbled twice to me in Korean. I didn't realized she was talking to me until I clued in that maybe she was. I said I don't speak Korean and she said no pictures. There was no signage stating no photography. Frankly in today's age, taking photos is akin to breathing. It's useful to send pictures to people, asking if they want the item or ask what that's used for. It's not only to post online. She was pretty rude about it too. The opening promotion has good discounts with some items at 50% off. Sign up for the membership and get extra 5000 points.

It was absolutely packed to the brim, but that was to be expected since it was the weekend. Everyone was generally very polite and considerate of everyone around though, which was nice and honestly not very common in American markets. I really appreciated their seafood display. They also had a great variety. Langostino was a really unique item to have at the fish counter! I was absolutely blown away by the pre-made food section. The presentation on their pre-made food made me feel like I was transported to a night market! There were almost too many things to look at.
