    This is the "madre" of all asian markets, formally a big box mervins, its an adventure in and of itself just wandering through here. There is a large korean restaurant in the center of the market, that was outstanding. They also have an amazing bakery, full of asian - french delights are quite delicious. If you get a chance while visiting daly city or Colma, i highly recommend you get yourself into this market, its awesome! Service was very good as well.

    Long overdue. Open spaced with an abundance of selections! Dangerously filled the cart without any reservations. "Assorted Sushi" was the one thing that left a lasting impression. Fairly priced. Perfect amount of rice with excellent texture and seasoning. Skipped the restaurants for the evening and had a feast right at home. Wasn't settling for less either. Don't feel like cooking and dining out sound unappealing? Jagalchi is the answer! With all the new Asian grocery stores popping all over the bay, it's up there on my list. If only we had more locations and that's no joke.

    ===TL;DR=== - Bulgogi kimbap ===TMI=== Price is fair for what it is but I didn't really like it. Overall the kimbap was very dry. Bulgogi was dry and it felt like some ground beef instead. I also had to pick out 2 debris and bit into something hard which was a horrible experience. Team Kukje for their kimbap instead! IYKYK. The store alone was alright. I think they're very spacious but they don't have products or price points that especially stood out. Not a fan of their layout either. Do like their frozen meat section especially for hotpot cuts, good price point for the quantity.

    Yum!

    So many take out options, all the sushi you typically eat serve fresh in take out boxes, all kinds of Korean and Japanese hot food ready to go at 25% of the price you would pay at a real Restaurant. My sushi was fresh and scrumptious. Too many options here! Lots of Asian grocery. I was only here for a snack but will definitely be back!

    Always have to do a stopover whenever I am in town--they seem to be the only store that carries Osulloc tea. They always seem to have what I am looking for--the store itself is clean and spacious, with ample room to wander around and browse. Love stocking up on snacks and drinks here before driving back to NV.

    Their restaurant and cafe was delightful and surprisingly good! Lunch special of galbi ribs and entree of eel. Bonchon was delicious and fresh! Eel was perfectly seasoned not too sweet. Fresh!

    Bibimbap

    This review is solely for the fresh deli food. I've had the kimbap here a couple times. While very reasonably priced $6-7, they seem to be just okay. The ones at Kukje Supermarket taste more flavorful. This one lacks the same sesame oil aroma on the seaweed that I expect from kimbap. It also seems like they don't roll their kimbap by hand here. The rice is also a bit bland. Next, I tried the beef bibimbap. This one comes with half a container of rice underneath. The amount of meat is very little in proportion to the rice. The best part of this dish was the variety of veggies especially the bracken. There is also a packet of sesame oil buried inside, so watch out for that. The biggest problem with this dish was the rice. I'm not sure if I picked the wrong batch, but the rice tasted like it was starting to spoil, like it's been sitting outside all day. It would've been easily overlooked if you mixed all the gochujang sauce together with it. Maybe, the bibimbap should be stored in the heated or refrigerated display case instead of out in the open. I circled back to the fresh kimbap section after my meal. I saw a rat scurry across the floor and go under the display case. Another customer and I exchanged looks of belief. Now I don't feel so good about my meal I just had.

    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.

    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.

    Finally got to come here and had a good experience. It was hard not to get a cart because I ended up with so any items. The place was big and clean. Many selections to choose from. I would say I like their sushi the best. But pricy but worth it. They have stalls for a lot of take out food. Some were good and some were okay. I would not get this banchan items like the fish cake . It was a little underwhelming.

    Stepping into JAGALCHI market is like embarking on a mini-vacation! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how incredibly clean and organized everything is. It's a feast for the senses--each corner reveals something new and exciting. The pricing is so affordable, especially for the high-quality items they offer. The bakery? Absolutely insane! Each pastry looks like it was crafted by a master. And don't even get me started on the seafood selection; it's out of this world. Whether you're looking for fresh catches or prepared meals, you're bound to find something that tickles your taste buds. Most of the employees were incredibly friendly and helpful. I give that a nine out of 10. I felt like I was on a whirlwind shopping excursion, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere and discovering treasures at every turn. I can't wait to get back home to Southern California with all my goodies! If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, JAGALCHI market is the place to be. You won't regret it!

    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!

    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.

I ordered the longanisa with egg and rice breakfast. I really enjoyed eating the longanisa. It was sweet and the sauce dripped on the rice to give it a sweet flavor. The egg was soft and cooked well. It was a great way to start my day and left satisfied.

    This place is consistently a low quality experience as a shopper and a diner. Just some of the…read morethings consistently low that happen here and is what shoppers and diners should expect: 1.) Hot food line service is S-L-O-W. Typically the servers are what look to be seniors in their 60's and older. They don't move quickly and sometimes have a hard time hearing. That wouldn't be so bad were it not for their policy of keeping only TWO SERVERS on at a time with a cashier. The line to order is typically long and this store does nothing to relieve the long wait times. Sometimes, one will stand there for 15 to 20 minutes before they get their meal. Decision making is tough because there are so many discount deals and plans that take place that you don't know exactly what you're getting and for how much. At one point, I ordered a plate lunch that was supposed to discount at 2pm. When that time came, the cashier couldn't apply the discount because the machine or the app the applied the discount wasn't working. We all waited for 15 minutes until the system cleared. A few just bailed after 5 minutes and left their food orders where they were standing in line 2.) The store mislabels items with the WRONG PRICE quite often. Today, I ran into one pricing issue when they tried to charge me double what the price on the sign on the shelf. The cashiers insisted they were correct but when I showed them the self and they saw for themselves what happened, they refused to honor the sale price. I got the runaround to talking to a manger -- it seems they didn't have one or didn't cop to being one and I was ignored. This crap has happened to me before and where I get to the cashier and pricing is wrong. I usually just tell them to take it off if I didn't want to pay the price and do without it. Today, I had enough and wanted to see if anyone would help me but none did and these people are way out of line. 3.) There is a subtle hint of racism in the store where nearly ALL of the employees are Filipino. I think the bigotry is worse with Filipinos who are considered American by the staff. I've seen it happen where Filipinos will talk among each other about customers who are not truly Pinoy in their eyes. It's petty and trifling but is perhaps one reason the Filipino community doesn't embrace this chain as much as say, 99 Ranch or other Asian markets where this isn't an undercurrent. 4.) The mall on Westborough Blvd in South San Francisco has primarily Filipino business that are owned or aligned with the group that owns Seafood City. The mall stores are ChowKing, Jollibee, Red Ribbon with the large Seafood City store and dining area as the anchor store. There is also an O'Reilly auto shop there. On some days, the store is crowded and lines are long because staffing is short. This is the way it is all the time. 5.) Valerio bakery is V E R Y E X P E N S I V E. For example, a bag of baked rolls (12) is about $9 now. A container of 4 steamed buns (pork or chicken) is $12!! The stuff out on the floor in bags seems like it gets left out for days and most people will order the stuff fresh out of the kitchen anyway and pay the same wacked out prices. To be fair, groceries in America in 2026 is the highest I've ever seen with no chance for slowing down. Ethnic stores typically sell the same stuff in American chain stores at a cheaper price because of their clientele and zero marketing. But, I guess Seafood City thinks they are now a major chain and can charge the same prices, that, frankly gouge customers. I don't think I'll be going back to this particular spot or perhaps bail out on the chain altogether. It's disappointing to see this. They could be so much better, but this form of exploitative, insulting grocery store is getting old.

The Meat of this location: Parking is very bountiful, but comes with a price of Cracked pavement and potholes which assures that you will not be speeding in the parking lot no time soon. Inside of store: This hasn't changed much since it was a Bells Market, the painted walls and the interior lighting are still a dull and lackluster.
