Mandu (beef dumpling gyoza)
Judy N.

This grocery store is great! It's super small but extremely clean and organized. Their service is amazing, the gentlemen immediately greeted me and told me a little about what they sell. Then I saw the table full of fresh dduk, japchae, kimbop and mandu- Awesome!! They let me try to (beef) mandu, wow, it's delicious (& I've eaten many types). It was a little spicy but that is always good with me. They have two tables you can sit and eat at if you want. The regular kimbop (veggies with egg) is $4 and the bulgogi kimbop is $6. They also have tteokboki which I didn't try (but need to!). They have premade soups, kimchi (5000 year kimchi, mom's favorite kimchi) and some hard to find (jalapeño pickle) banchan also.

This is a small mom and pop Korean grocery store with a kitchen in the back serving up cheap, authentic, Korean food including kimbap, dumplings, jap chae, tteokbokki and more! They also had traditional Korean desserts including a variety of rice cakes that were premade. We were greeted by a very friendly, older Caucasian male who was at the front of the store running the register. He was very helpful in explaining the menu items available. There were several Korean Ajummas in the back kitchen making the food. We ordered the original kimbap ($4), bulgogi kimbap ($6), and half order of kimchi and japchae (I think) mandu ($10). We were also given a free sample of the jap chae and chicken. They also have a variety of kimchi and ban chan (side dishes) available in their refrigerator section that I will have to try next time. Everyone was so friendly. Will definitely be back!

Don't let this small little store scare you away, the food is incredible! Plus the staff is so helpful with everything we ordered! You can take out or eat in, lots of great options and the prices??? So affordable! Highly recommend checking out the fridges full of kimchi and other fun Korean dishes! We had the tteokbokki and kimbop, both were 10/10!

I'm so happy to have come to this store! Everything I have tried is so good! The Vienna sausage with peppers and onions was the biggest surprise for me. My mom used to make this and I never knew that other folks would make this. The kimchi also reminds me of my mom's homemade food. The owners greeted me at the door and helped make selections. The collection of banchan is amazing. I wish I had more room in my fridge! I could easily spend all my money there. I can't wait to go back and try their dumplings (which I was told they will cook for you in the store if you want to eat it right away). The inside was very clean and well lit.

Great made to order kimbap, very fresh. Nice owners. I hope to stop back for their kimchi and beef dumplings soon.

I found this market on Yelp and decided to give it a try on my way home today. Mrs. Park greeted me in English, she wasn't sure if I was Korean or not. We chatted for a while I shopped around and while I checked out. It's a small store in an older shopping center. Room for two aisles of Korean grocery items. Down the first aisle after walking into the afire was a red lined table with food items made today. There were other containers inside the 2 fridges nearby. The kimchi had been made the day before. I picked up some spicy parille leaves, kimchi, spicy cucumber pickled kimchi, spicy garlic stems, japchae, sweet chili wings, egg washed fried pollock, spicy bean sprouts, spicy fish cake, kimbap, black beans and a packet of seasoned seaweed. The japchae has small pieces of bulgogi in it, was good. The kimbap was as good as expected. I also enjoyed the pickled cucumber and spicy bean sprouts. The garlic stems were really good. The parille leaves are decent, but rather pungent. The kimchi is okay, still prefer it at Kagopa. The black beans and pollock were not my favorite. The kimchi needs to be cut down to bite size pieces, it's left in long pieces. My husband loved the taste of the sweet chili wings and said it would be out even better with more heat or spice to it, he said it was more sweet and wasn't spicy. He also devoured and enjoyed the kimbap and all of the banchans. I always prefer to shop at these small mom and pop shops.

First time customer. The staff and owner were very friendly, but professional and helpful at the…read moresame time. I have found my new butcher shop. I ordered a six pound beef tenderloin and it was prepped by Sylvia. Received cooking instructions and it was amazing: Tender and tasty! I, also, ordered my first Standing Rib Roast. Will cook it for New Years Eve. Friendly, helpful, professional staff/butchers, clean store, and very fair prices. Highly recommend.

I saw an ad with amazing meat prices, so decided to check this place out. The shop is very small,…read morebasically just the meat counter with a few racks of spices. They didn't have the $7.99/lb NY strip that I was coming for but convinced me to buy marinated NY strips by telling me that they are usually more expensive but they would honor the $7.99 price. I was suspicious because I don't normally buy marinated meat (if the meat is good quality, why would you want anything on it other than salt and pepper). After reading other reviews, I think I was duped with the bait and switch. Hopefully the meat isn't spoiled. I haven't tried it yet but I'm suspicious. If it seems fishy, it probably is. I'll update this review after I try it, but overall a pretty average experience at this meat market. Update: I grilled up the steaks. The marinade was ok, but I wouldn't buy it again. They were sold as "USDA Prime" NY Strip steaks. Based on the marbling of the fat and toughness, I would say it was a choice cut at best.

Newly designed 168 Asian Mart:…read more One of my favorite things to do is take people on what I jokingly call international food tourism around Metro Detroit. Not because I'm trying to convert anyone into a foodie. I simply enjoy watching people discover how much of the world exists beyond the handful of grocery aisles they've known their entire lives. For many Americans, walking into an authentic international market can be surprisingly intimidating. We become accustomed to recognizing brands, labels, and packaging. Remove that familiarity and suddenly a routine grocery trip becomes an exercise in navigation. My route usually starts in Clawson at Noble Fish. Anyone who only knows Noble Fish today would have a difficult time understanding what it used to be. The original operation was tiny. You walked into a modest Japanese grocery store and somehow found one of the best sushi counters in Michigan tucked away inside. The closest comparison I can make is the scene from *Wayne's World* when Wayne opens a random door and discovers a room full of highly trained ninjas. You weren't expecting it, which somehow made it even better. Over the years demand did what demand does. The restaurant grew. The market grew. White Wolf arrived. Additional space was absorbed. What was once a small hidden destination has evolved into something much larger while still maintaining the character that made people seek it out in the first place. From there I usually take people to the plaza where ZZang's BBQ is located. I call it the toy store. The plaza contains restaurant supply stores, bakeries, specialty grocers, and enough cookware to make most home cooks reconsider their life choices. There are roasted meats hanging in windows, commercial equipment sitting on shelves, and ingredients most people have never seen before. For newcomers, it is often the first moment they realize these foods were never designed for tourists. They were built for communities. The next stop is H Mart. By this point people have usually relaxed. The initial hesitation disappears and curiosity takes over. Instead of asking what something is, they begin asking how it's used, how it's prepared, and what they should try first. Then we arrive at 168 Asian Mart. Located in Madison Heights on John R Road, 168 has become one of the largest Asian grocery destinations in Michigan. Recent expansion and renovation have transformed the store into something far beyond the market many people remember from years ago. The footprint has grown dramatically, the selection has expanded, and the new food hall has turned the location into a destination rather than simply a place to shop. What I appreciate most about 168 is that it serves as a culmination of everything people experienced throughout the day. The market itself represents dozens of cultures and cuisines under one roof. The food hall allows visitors to sample dishes from across Asia without committing to a full restaurant experience. Just outside, the neighboring plaza connects visitors to an authentic Lebanese marketplace and restaurant, creating an experience that extends well beyond a single grocery store. What starts as a shopping trip often becomes something else entirely. People arrive worried about buying the wrong thing, unable to read half the packaging, and unsure where to begin. A few hours later they're filling baskets with ingredients they had never heard of before and discussing what they plan to cook when they get home. That transformation is probably why I keep bringing people here. Not because the markets are exotic or that the foods are unusual. Because every trip reminds people that entire communities, traditions, and cuisines have existed around them all along. They simply hadn't taken the time to walk through the front door. I love being a personal Food Tour Guide

The 168 restaurant offers a large selection of prepared Chinese dishes sold by the pound - meats, vegetables, noodle dishes, including fresh warm soy milk. You can also place an order for items pictured on the wall by number. We placed an order for the duck soup $10.99 - duck was good but soup broth wasn't flavorful and noodles weren't fresh and were overcooked. It came in a carry out bowl, comparable to an XL size instant ramen bowl. Service in this area was ok, the cashier taking the order was impatient because we could not understand what she was saying and thus took longer to place the order. BBQ - we ordered the roast duck rice meal which came with a lot of rice, chopped duck pieces, steamed green veg and a small container of sauce. Duck meat was very tasty but very cold, and deceivingly a small amount of meat in the meal because it was full of bones. Regardless it was still a decent value for $8.98. Service was quick, but a bit unfriendly as well. I would come back to buy the roasted meats but would buy whole or large cuts (I.e. whole duck, whole chicken), cut it up myself to minimize bones in each bite and warm it up at home.
