I believe I was the first to rate Jagalchi after first opening. I was honest, it was a hot mess and stated that I was sure they'd undoubtedly rally after having some time to iron out the wrinkles. They're Korean after all and they don't like wrinkles. Well, they have and done so in spades. The store is spotless, organized fairly intuitive to shop and staffed by friendly and helpful folks. Product selection will not compete with H-Mart nor Kukje, but who cares when the quality (and price) are far superior. Yeah, the huge restaurant in the center is a bit odd considering it's expensive, and did I mention huge? The Bakery is fire. I heart Sulppang. Ladies that work there are very nice. If you gave up on Jagalchi initially, I encourage you to give it a go and experience it again for the first time. read more

I was super excited to check out jagalchi. There have been tons of info out on socials about their opening, and my expectations were pretty high. The shopping experience collectively is rather odd. The entire store is very dimly lit and it's a strange experience. At first, it feels like an upscale food court, filled with upscale large kiosk throughout the store. They have an amazing Sushi counter, and amazing meat counter. Almost anything you could possibly think of can be found, or freshly cut to order. Just as you're walking around, there's small areas where you might find fresh noodles, or some definite, unique food finds like fresh tteokbokki. Yes I needed to buy this! They have an entire beauty section that's filled with the variety of products, many of them overpriced, but also hard to find in the average marketplace. The fresh fruit area is small, but abundant. This is definitely worth a visit, if nothing more than the experience. You will find some amazing and unique items that are usually only found abroad. read more

Jagalchi has settled down since it's opening, so it was a pleasant visit. Upon first impression, there's a noticeably bigger selection of cooked items, ready-to-eat meals, bakery goods, and café-style drinks all in one place. What makes it especially convenient is how much it combines under one roof, which is a full grocery store, seafood and meat selection, prepared foods, bakery, and coffee/matcha counter. You can realistically do a full grocery run, grab a meal, and sit down for dessert or a drink without leaving the building. The fresh food section is probably the biggest draw. There's a strong mix of Korean staples alongside broader Asian options, and the seafood selection in particular feels closer to a market experience than a standard supermarket. Even if you're not shopping for ingredients, it's worth visiting just to explore the prepared foods. read more

I love visiting Jagalchi whenever I'm in the area because there's always something that fits whatever mood I'm in. If I'm craving sashimi or seafood, they've got me covered. If I want quality meat, their selection is fantastic, honestly better than any other Korean market nearby. Whether it's snacks or prepared foods, everything I've tried has been delicious. And the bakery alone is enough to make my mouth water every time I walk by. read more

Lots of variety for different tastes, the sashimi was quite fresh. Rice is a little bit hard however. The jeju matcha donut was good. The grilled mackerel was also very flavorful. That was probably my favorite item out of everything. read more

Fun upscale korean grocery store with a restaurant inside, bakery, skincare section, and hot food area. The selection of items is huge here and there's definitely something for everyone! I always find myself wishing I had more stomach space whenever I come here. The hot food is reasonably priced, though some items can be more pricey, but others are not bad (kimbap for only $6). The food is kept warm which is nice, compared to marketplaces where the food is kept refrigerated and you have to microwave it yourself. It's super fun walking through the grocery store as they have so many fun items you don't see normally. Produce selection is decent. Lots of imported fruits. My fave find has been the Knotted frozen donuts! The aisles are pretty big so even when it's busy it doesn't get too crowded. Have yet to try the restaurant inside (Pogu) but it looks very nice. Wish I lived closer to here so I could go more often! read more

I wasn't to impressed here. Most of the items seem average and looks like items that you can get at 85°bakery. It's located inside the Korean store so you can stop by after shopping. There's also tables for sitting down to enjoy the food if you like. I ordered their drink special since it was $3. I don't remember what it's called. I also ordered some buns and cookies, but wasn't too impressed by them. Costumer service sucks. The worker who made my drink let someone else take my drink. They ordered after me as well and when I let the other costumer know she had my drink, she did not care. The worker didn't even check their receipt to see if it was the correct drink and did not care to help. LUCKILY, we both got the same drink so I only had to wait a bit longer for "my" drink. Overall, underwhelming and extremely disappointed in the customer service. DO BETTER!!! read more

I wish this grocery store was closer to me. The sushi/fish options were fresh and looked amazing! The store was layed out nicely separating the nori, fish cakes, drinks, ramen, etc. Feeling too lazy to cook? The food court has plenty to offer. Kalbi, gimbaps, bibimbaps, etc. You can find everything here from skin care, groceries, food containers, produce, cookware, baked goods, to wet wipes! Attached to Serramonte malll with multiple entrances and ample parking. I didn't take enough photos because I was too busy looking at all the variety of snacks, food, and drinks! read more

This was my second time visiting Jagalchi and I have to say that there was huge improvement between the visits, specifically on food quality. Last time I visited, the food did not taste very fresh, the sushi & the hot food. This time, the rice was not undercooked, the fish were firm and not water logged, and everything that was supposed to be served hot was! The staff was also very friendly & attentive. They were very proactive if they happened to hear you looking for something and would help to direct us. The aisles were wide so it allowed for a relaxed environment even though the store was extremely full and busy. Also, the prepared foods were a great value. Less than $8 for Kimbap is a steal in this economy! read more

It was a hot Friday, and I wasn't sure what to eat for dinner. I swung by while running errands to see what I could grab, and wow, check out the pictures! I picked up sashimi, sushi, and fresh veggies and fruits. Everything was so fresh, and I loved what I got. They've got an ever-growing variety to choose from, which makes it hard to decide sometimes (in the best way). Bonus: they were celebrating their one year anniversary, so there were promotions, free samples of food and snacks, and more. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you love fresh, high-quality options! :) read more

Someone described Jagalchi to me as the Erewhon of Korean grocery stores. It feels high-end, it's hip, and overall a pleasant place to get your shopping done for the week. This was my first visit and the parking area was nearly full when we arrived. Prepare to drive defensively. The store was quite busy but service was just as quick. When I ordered food from their dining area, there were boxed meals ready to go! I never had to wait more than five minutes for anything. Browsing through the aisles, I always had plenty of space. The aisles were wide. The sections are organized intuitively and the fresh food section was aesthetically pleasing ( don't really know if anyone will actually buy the fish head on display). Prices seemed to be on the higher end for fruits but they were nicely wrapped so there's that. There were a couple of pop-up stores for beauty, which added a nice touch to the overall vibes of the place. There are restaurants inside the grocery store, as well as a bakery and tables to sit and enjoy your food. Overall, I enjoy shopping here and I could easily spend way more time than I intended getting lost in this place. read more

Clean, with adequate supply of fresh and frozen seafood. Also, lots of soju choices. There is a cooked food section which include Korean bows, mandu, fish cakes and your typical bon chan. In the middle is a nice restaurant called POGU, which serves Korean food in an upscale environment. Then they have a sit down bar. Wait, don't forget the bakery as you leave. And it's like a Korean version of 'Whole Foods' to include pricing. Nice one-stop shop but be prepared to spend for the quality. read more

I am giving this place a 3.75. The market is clean, organize and there's a lot of cool food products, Korean soju, a restaurant in the center ( which I would love to try), a gluten free bakery, cosmetic area, pre-packaged food and to-go food area, oyster bar and a section where you can buy high end sushi, sashimi and uni. We went to the gluten free bakery Basquia. Ordered the Strawberry Latte, Strawberry Milktea, Iced Dolgona Coffee, and the trending Chewy Dubai Chocolate Cookie. I'd skip the Strawberry Latte and Strawberry Milktea, nothing special. Enjoyed the coffee and the Dubai Chocolate Chewy cookie. It's like a small truffle with coconut and pistachio cream. It's very rich. One piece is nice to share. There was other pastries, the line went fast. I'd go back for another cookie:) read more

Today's goal was to dine at Pogu; a restaurant that both my wife and daughter frequent (without me...). See other Yelp review (5 stars experience). Quality/Quantity - Upscale Korean Supermarket. Basic Korean departments - Grocery, seafood, meat, deli, produce, rice bakery (independently owned), etc. Was disappointed with their wine, liqueur, and beer department. For an upscale supermarket, I expected a larger selection with more premium products. Ambiance - Not busy at all today. Neither the supermarket nor the restaurant. Beautiful huge new supermarket, you can tell it is very upscale as they spared no expense. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 10pm. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Self service, including a self service check out. Price - Expect prices to reflect quality. I was actually surprised that some of the prices seemed very reasonable. I look forward to trying all their different food courts, delis, and other restaurants, especially your oyster bar, etc. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since March of 2025. I have to admit, I am a fairly loyal customer to H Mart... read more

Cool Korean supermarket with lots of options including lots of kimchi, Korean packaged foods, drinks, ice cream, noodles, mandu, butcher counter, a hot food deli, a restaurant, POGU and a bakery, Basquia inside. There's also a section where you can get K-beauty. This may be only me. But my gripe is that while all these things are available, they are all separated. Meaning if I wanted to get something at Basquia, I can't be shopping groceries at the same time because it's fenced off and with different cashiers. Same with this specific beauty counter. Different cashiers and area. Hard to park my shopping cart and go into these different sections. Fun place to browse and buy otherwise. Wish it wasn't so inconvenient to navigate. Located inside the Serramonte Shopping Complex. read more

An ex once told me I was a streaky eater. I knew that and just the other day, I had Korean food, and a couple days later, here I am on Korean food cravings, so I ended up here, at Jagalchi, one of the largest Korean food emporiums in the Bay Area. It's my first time since it opened a little under a year ago in Daly City and my first impression is how huge it is, how nice it is, sort of like how Nordstrom meets Home Depot, except that it's all about food. It's an all-Asian extravaganza heavily tilted towards Korean, but it's also got a touch of Japanese, with Oriental products and wide selections in all kinds of diverse sections. I wonder why it took me all this time to explore this place considering I consider myself the Marco Polo of food indulgences. read more

Probably a good thing I live a 45 min drive from this else it would take all of my money. What can't you get here? - Packaged goods (neatly labeled in sections with "dumplings", "deserts", "soy sauce" for us monolingual shucks) - prepared hot food like kimbap, galbi beef (that my friend said was almost as good as Kunjip's) - fresh seafood and sushi - interior restaurant (need to come back) - interior cafe (with the viral Dubai mochi cookies and banana pudding that I like better than Magnolia's bc it's less sweet) Logistics: - everything indoor but there is some cafe seating if you want to eat your prepared or cafe food asap or need to do a little work - massive strip mall parking lot in front that was still full on a weekend, be prepared to drive defensively read more

This was my second visit in a couple of months. Although the store isn't very close to my place, it's easily accessible. The parking area was nearly full when I arrived, and there were numerous stop signs along the way. Upon arrival, the store was quite busy, but things moved swiftly at the meat section. Browsing through the aisles and sampling some free food was a pleasant experience. My initial plan was to buy frozen fish cakes, but I ended up with a shopping cart half full. I appreciate the organized layout of the sections. The fresh food section is particularly delightful, and the prices are reasonable. There are a couple of pop-up stores, which add a nice touch. The restaurant inside the grocery store also looks appealing. Thecfresh meat section and frozen food area were neat. One part may be nice to have is live seafood or may be more fish options. Overall, I enjoy shopping at this store compared to some other Korean grocery stores with narrow aisles. read more

I love that more and more large Asian markets are opening in the Bay Area. Jalgachi surprisingly has great deals on meat. I picked up Wagyu and also grabbed marinated short ribs on sale. They usually have good prices on unagi as well. (see pictures for price) I didn't really interact with the staff, so I can't comment much on service, but the cashier was efficient and quick. The store itself is big, clean, and has multiple entrances, including one connected to the mall. They also have a ready-made food area where you can get steamed buns, rice cakes, kimbap, and more. On top of that, there's a Korean restaurant right in the center of the supermarket. Overall, I love it jalgachi is now one of my go-to stops when shopping for Asian food, especially Korean groceries. read more

Love everything about this market! I ended up needing to waste a few hours around Serramonte & decided to get a bite to eat at Jagalchi... best decision I made that day. The market is very clean, very organized, staff is very nice. & they're ready to eat meals are top notch! The have a bakery & a restaurant that both looked super delicious. We didn't get to go this day... but should be back in the area within a week & am making this a priority stop to try more goodies! read more

Jagalchi - Kimchi fried rice, Galbi-jjim & beef Japchae - Seafood Markets Near Me - Daly City, California

Despite a constant pummeling of YouTube videos from young trend-centric vloggers, It's taken me a while to get here because I'm not a fan of shopping mall crowds. I came the afternoon before New Year's Eve, and to my utter surprise, it was not quite as densely populated as the videos led me to believe. The first thing I noticed was how spacious it was. Formerly a JC Penney, there was no indication of its discount retail legacy. Rather this glossy store evokes Whole Foods and higher-end markets of that ilk. Everything was overwhelmingly organized and didactically presented that it was hard not to spend time just browsing. There were walls of shelves devoted to fish sauces, chips, and ramyun. The variety was mind-boggling. The seafood and meat selections were thorough, and the sushi collection was exhaustive enough to make Don Quijote look paltry by comparison. No surprise the prepared foods were in need of replenishment. People were waiting for the next bibimbop bowl with heightened anticipation. I probably should've paid more attention to the beauty product section because I always need help. A huge Korean restaurant named POGU sits in the middle, and I did have lunch here (review: https://yelp.to/-GPk61ucy5). I think the prices overall were what at least I expected. No bargains but this doesn't pretend to be a discount supermarket either. Parking wasn't so bad, though I hate the labyrinth patterns of the roads here. I'll definitely be back with Jamie W and immerse ourselves in all things Korean. RELATED - Exploring the peninsula south of SF?

Prices are reasonable and everything's clean. I enjoy their sushi/nigiri selection. You do get what you pay for (it's still grocery store sushi) but I would say their portions are better than competitors. I always enjoy their salmon and seared salmon nigiris! They also do samples for plenty of items around the store. I'll have to try their bakery next time as well. read more

Jagalchi - Sushi selection - Seafood Markets Near Me - Daly City, California

Now that the frenzy had died down, we finally came to find out what all the buzz is about. It is the Disneyland of supermarkets - clean, neat, organized, and friendly. LOCATION: They are located at Serramonte center. We came on a Saturday a few minutes before opening, and there's plenty of parking. PRODUCE: I've never seen such a neat and organized produce section. Most of the fruits and vegetables are wrapped and packaged. Very convenient, but I'm the type that likes to select each green bean individually (yep, I'm that annoying person at the grocery store :). They have a large variety of Asian and American produce. I picked out a few Asian fruits and veggies to try out. They were very fresh. GROCERIES: They have a huge selection of noodles, teas, snacks, spices, etc. There is also a "From Korea" section, which had very similar products, so I'm a little confused about that. PACKAGED MEALS: I really enjoyed walking by their deli section and watching the ladies hand wrap the mandus, and the cook make kimchi fried rice. The meals are then packed and put out on warming shelves. You can purchase items for home or eat them at a small dining area in their bakery. We got pork dupbap, meat mandu, and kimchi fried rice. I recommend all of these - they were so good I wish I bought more to bring home. STREET FOOD: There's a street food area where you can get freshly made snacks to go. Most of the items looked fried. SEAFOOD & OYSTER BAR: They have sushi grade seafood here and do they look fresh. There's also freshly made sushi packages to go. The Oyster Bar looked inviting, but not my thing. MEATS: Lots of fresh meats and shabu-shabu meats. BAKERY: There's a bakery inside the market place. You get a tray and select items from their counters. There's lots of sulpang (steamed cupcakes), breads, cakes, and drinks. There's a dining area with seats and sofas. It's a really nice area that's bright and relaxing. POGU: There's a fancy restaurant inside the market place, but we didn't try it. I'm a little curious about it, but the reviews (I trust my Yelpers) didn't persuade me enough. This is truly an experience. I can't wait to visit again. read more

Great Korean grocery store with plenty hot food options! The store is very spacious and clean with lots of authentic Korean hot foods you can pick up and try. They also have Korean skincare and makeup which is a plus. The sushi assortments are very high quality and definitely worth the money. Love that they have a little bakery cafe where you can also sit down and eat the foods you bought in store. Of all the grab and go food we got, the only think I wouldn't get again is the beef kimbap, it was a little dry in my opinion. read more

Jagalchi - Seafood Markets Near Me - Daly City, California

Between how exciting it is, in general, to have a brand new Korean market open up, how they were set to takeover such a large space at Serramonte, and all of the things that they were set to offer, it wasn't at all surprising to see such long lines for Jagalchi's much anticipated grand opening. However, to still see lines just to get in over the weeks that followed? Kind of crazy - both in good ways and bad. Now that the lines are finally gone and I've managed to make my way here a few times, though, I have to say - I get it! Considering how they took over the anchor/department store space that JCPenny used to occupy, it was a given that this place was going to be big, but I certainly didn't expect it to be MASSIVE. As you wander around the store, you'll find plenty of the usual staples at a Korean market - fresh fruits and produce, a seafood section, a meat counter chock full of a variety of cuts, pre-marinated and frozen meats, tons of pantry staples like sauces, instant noodles, snacks, and canned goods, freezers stocked with dumplings and desserts, a sushi section, fridges full of kimchi and banchan, and an array of prepared foods, like bento boxes, kimbap, broiled fish, kimbap, japchae, soups, and even galbijjim! While I can't say how everything compares to the likes of Kukje, H-Mart, and the other nearby Asian markets, what I can say is that, based on the ones I've looked at, Jagalchi's prices are surprisingly competitive (I thought they'd be pricier). For example, even though their selection of instant noodles may not be as extensive, a couple of my go-to varieties are about $2-$3 less per family pack here. At the same time, for other items, they actually have a deeper selection, like their sushi offerings (they have toro nigiri!) and hot foods (did I mention they have galbijjim?), though the quality isn't always better (the cuts of hamachi didn't look the greatest, but at least they tasted okay). Although Jagalchi already has more than enough to offer as a grocery store, they have even more beyond that. Inside, you'll find a full on bakery, a makeup and beauty counter, a mini-seafood bar, and a wine bar. And, of course, that's without even mentioning PoGu, a Korean restaurant that literally sits in the middle of the store and is led by a Michelin-starred chef and highlighted by their Hansang Charim. If anything, based on all of the buzz and praise their food has been garnering, you might as well check out Jagalchi when you head to PoGu to grab a bite! Despite how Kukje and H-Mart have long held a special place in my heart (as does just about any and every other Korean market out there), there's no question that Jagalchi has managed to carve out a nice little spot for themselves. At the very least, they've now become my default market whenever I need to restock my pantry with more instant noodles, but that list could grow even more as I get more and more familiar with this place! read more

This review is for the restaurant that sits inside and the grocery story itself. Food itself was great with plenty of options. Ready made meals are displayed great and it was easy to get around. The people behind the food making areas are friendly and welcoming. It was easy to get an explanation for certain dishes along with recommendations based on our preferences. We were so happy with the putter sections that we wanted to try the restaurant on the inside. That's where it started to go downhill. We got the Christmas special that came with a bottle of sparkling wine. The table display is beautiful. The general set up of tables and chairs is very nice for pictures. The water was nice. The buckwheat noodles were our favorite. The veggies are incredibly fresh. -1 star, the servers are multitasking so much that it takes away from the ambiance. We came on a normal weekday, not even a weekend and the servers were running. Our server couldn't open our wine and casually mentioned she was doing this all day which explains how red and raw her fingers were. We felt uncomfortable by how uncomfortable she was. She asked for help from another server and they denied her. She had to ask 2 other servers until one that was cleaning a table helped her. Our wine was no longer chilled and lukewarm while we witnessed our server panic with barely anyone to help her while smiled anxiously -1 star for how out of place the food was served. Our plates were slammed onto the table each time. Steak was served with NO knives until we asked and then got butter knives instead. -1 star for untimed food served, mainly talking about the sides. We didn't know it came with the little sides until we were nearly done with our meal. Grocery store 5 stars. Inner restaurant 3 stars. read more

Love this place!! It's a walking distance away from where I live so I go there frequently. Fresh vegetables at very competitive prices, super fresh sushi grade fish & most everything you would find in an Asian market. The items are arranged beautifully making things easy to find. They have a sit down restaurant in the middle of the market that I have yet to patronize. Great bakery also included in the store. Last but not least they have ready prepared goods packaged for a quick meal in case you don't feel like cooking or dining out. I'd recommend checking out this place. read more

I grew up eating my mom's Korean food and she is a FANTASTIC cook. 19/20 times, Korean restaurants just feel like, "I could have eaten better at home and for free." Good food at POGU! Best mackerel I've tasted so far. Better than moms. Worth returning. read more

Love this store. It's clean, it's huge, and I love the different variety of things to eat. I love the tepanyaki type rare meat selection to take home and their endless sushi/sashimi selection is the bomb. They look fresh and reasonably priced. Their cooked korean bowls dishes are delicious. We ended up buying a couple of them. Its convenient when you're on the go. In the middle of this huge store, they offer area to sit and dine and an area where they have korean skin care products for purchase. If you're into keeping your skin healthy and looking young, This is a good place to check out. Since we live about 45 minutes away, we made sure our trip was worth the drive. Of course we ended up buying more than what we were expecting, but i truly believed that our trip here was fun, engaging, and unique experience. We would love to visit Jagalchi in the near future again. read more

I'm glad I waited for the hype to go down. I went on a Saturday around 2pm and I was surprised it wasn't crowded at all. There's 2 entrances with cash registers at both ends, including a couple of self check out registers. The store has every section a standard grocery store has. It was clean and organized and very well laid out. The space is huge but easy to navigate. I thought the prices were fair too. I was expecting them to be higher. They also had some items on sale. I love that they carry some of my favorite Korean teas and skin care products too. read more

I was very skeptical about the hype and was still skeptical until I got home and actually ate the food. Now I am sold that this is one of the best/ high-end Korean market in the Bay. I loved that most of the products are from Korea, hence, the higher price tag on things. Orange juice from Jeju, yes please! Some of the hot deli items looks kind of mid but I was really happy with the sashimi/sushi section. I picked up some otoro nigiri (only $15 for 5 pieces), a tray of uni ($25), hamchi + unagi nigiri, California rolls, salmon and octopus. Everything was super fresh and quality was 9.5/10 for me! I also bought some wagyu, bulgogi, and pork jowl, everything was tender and tasty.   I keep hearing people complain that the prices are high here but I have you been to HMART lately? Prices are high there too much Jagalchi meat and food quality is better IMO. If I am ever in the area again, I will stop by for some groceries and a snack! read more

Jagalchi is a Korean Market in Daly City with it's own restaurant inside. My son loves to dine here and raves about their matcha butter. I stopped in last week to check out the store and buy him some. It's very clean and organized with lots of food options. It's also attached to other shops so I was able to grab a sweater from the "mall" area after leaving. Although I did not dine in the restaurant myself, you can see it as you walk through the store and it looks lovely. I don't think you would even notice you are in the middle of a market when you are dining by the way they have constructed it to be such an oasis. They also have an oyster bar and a bar where you can grab a drink too. I bought some of their sulpang for myself as well including variations like dubai chocolate ad red velvet. The texture is different from what I am used as rice flour creates a more dense dough. I also tried the matcha butter for myself and my son has fantastic taste because it was absolutely delicious. I could eat anything with that matcha butter on it. I grabbed teas for everyone including dalgona spanner, matcha dream and strawberry oolong milk tea. They were all tasty but they left the teabag in my oolong which I didn't like and made it taste bitter. I was able to find some great snacks and they have a lovely variety of fresh foods as well. If you haven't been here, it is definitely worth checking out. If I lived closer I am sure we would come here regularly and in case I didn't mention it, their matcha butter is to die for! read more

A new Korean addition to Serramonte. Boyfriend and I came out to check it out and I'm gonna be blunt...it's kind of crowded and overpriced. I'm used to cheap Asian groceries (including Korean grocery stores), and I don't know if it's because of all the K-Pop and K-drama hype train that Westerners are jumping on, but everything was pretty overpriced. At least my boyfriend and I enjoyed walked around, and we did get lunch here. I tried the bread bowls to see how a Korean twist with the rose tteokbokki on the bread bowl would taste. It was okay. We had difficulty finding a seat since it was so crowded. At least parking was easy to find. read more

Went here for the first time to see what the hype is all about. It"s a nice Korean supermarket. It has a lot of selections and pre-made food. I got a few of the sushi boxes, one being the tuna and eel. You get what you paid for. As you can see in the photo, they"re using questionable tuna. I have never had or known tuna to leave a red color residue, unless it has some kind of food coloring to make another kind of fish look like tuna. And the eel was rubbery, i think I'll skip their cheaper pre-made sushi. They had oxtail for sale, so I got some. I think the person helping me scammed me out of one piece of oxtail. I picked out six pieces and when I got home I noticed there were only five. All I can say is make sure you watch them pack it (they take it to a back table away from the counter) so they don't weigh the actual amount, make a tag for that amount and then take out one piece and then wrap it. I went to another section that, from the sign, looks like it had made-to-order LA galbi bento. That was not the case. They only had pre-made ones. I wanted one with white rice not the purple one. The person before me was able to get one that was on the rack, but it seemed that was the "last" one and they weren't going to have any ready for a while, and she insisted that I get the one with the purple rice. No thanks. Overall, it's an okay place with some questionable food quality. I would only go on a weekday since on the weekend it's a madhouse with really bad drivers and poor infrastructure. read more

Wow! This place has everything. Groceries, produce, cooked ready to eat food, unique beers, bakery, beauty, and so much more. I could stay in here for a couple hours. I came back twice during my weekend visit in the area. Love this place & wish I could try or sample more of the ready to eat items as I wanted to buy so much more but wasn't sure which was the best. Loved their sushi. I bought the sampler with the sea urchin, ikura, black tobiko. The rice was a bit hard but it was good. I'm not sure it was worth $25 for 5 pieces (1 unagi, 2 ikuras, 1 black tobiko but glad I tried it. Also loved the strawberry matcha drink & mango sliced cake from the bakery. It was so good I wanted to buy an entire mango cake. read more

This is a Korean store that specializes in all things Korean. There's a lot of area to peruse and you will actually be spending a bit of time looking at all the items available for sale. The items vary from cosmetics, fresh produce, meat, grocery items...and they even have a restaurant and a bakery. You can spend hours looking around. The store is expansive, but nicely decorated at places and is easy on the eyes. And as an added bonus, there are a lot of stores next door that you can also go to. My wife bought cosmetics from here and it did cost her a pretty penny... The staff were very helpful for questions you might have with the items in the store. It's nice to have knowledgeable people around...and so very friendly too! read more
