    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.

    A cute little grocery store where you can pick up premade Korean dishes! Perfect if you just need something for yourself or a small family.

    I remember my very first visit to Paradise Fruit Market & Bakery before moving to Michigan. I had…read morenever been to a Middle-Eastern grocery store before, but after checking out the local H-Mart, I decided to walk over on a whim and see what this place was all about. When I went through the front doors, I found a long line of people standing in a line. At the end of the line? A baker furiously inserting diamond shaped dough into an open oven, and removing the puffed up bread soon afterwards. When I saw the price, five for a dollar, I knew I needed to try some. And when I got to the front register, an additional surprise awaited me: fresh falafel, four for a dollar. Who can beat that pricing? Several years have passed by, and the store has gone through a renovation and bakery remodel, but I can still say that the food here still retains the same quality. The samoon is now three for a dollar and somehow, I have no idea how, the falafel are still four for a dollar. Samoon (Iraqi Bread) ($0.33) - These are some seriously delicious samoon, some of the best you can get in the area, straight from the oven. There are always a line of people waiting so they have a constant stream of fresh bread coming out. The exterior has some of that delicious fire-charred flavor and interior is fluffy and chewy with an almost mochi-like chew. There are some good samoon in Dearborn, and Dream Market down the street has some fantastic sesame seed and olive oil brushed samoon, but I think this my favorite rendition in Metro-Detroit. Falafel ($0.25) - Let me just reiterate - 25 cents a falafel. Where can you get that in this inflationary era? They're the normal, standard sized falafel but the quality is no slouch. The exterior is crisped up, with a delicate outer coating studded with sesame seeds. The interior is moist and fluffy with a well balanced flavor. There are herbs mixed in, but the flavor doesn't overpower the chickpeas and spices. It's Just a great falafel at a great price. The bakery in Paradise also inconsistently bakes khubz - they've only had it once or twice in my dozen visits or so. They also have kahi. It used to be a large round of phyllo dough, but it looks like recently they've changed it to be two smaller rectangles. I wish I lived closer to Paradise Market. As it stands, I can only venture up to Troy a couple of times year. Note: I can't really vouch for the quality of the produce or meats because I go here pretty much purely for the bread and falafel. Edit: I went back to get more Samoon two weeks later to compare against Dream Market. I have to say, Paradise has the superior bread by a hair. The samoon here is slightly larger and has quite a bit more of the fire charred flavor. Texture-wise, both are pretty much identical, and price-wise, Paradise is 33 cents a piece, whereas Dream Market is 25 cents a piece. We also got the Aroog this time (only $1 for 2). First time trying it and we found it to be very interesting. Almost South Asian in flavor, with a heavy dose of curry and other spices. Not sure it has any meat in it though, seems to be mainly vegetarian?

I got some sticky rice, a beef rice roll, fried sticks, and tofu skin rolls. From Tabe sushi we got a tempura chicken roll. From Yuan Yang, we got chicken skewers, a chicken sandwich, and two drinks, a mango pomelo sage and watermelon coconut water drink. It was all pretty good, some a bit more expensive than others, but we will definitely be back to try more. We cannot wait to try Mala Town and the yet to open Thai food stall. I was also happy to see the main store food court area is still available. We ordered a to-go plate for my other child. She wanted crawfish. It was such an amazing deal, we got 2.5 pounds of spicy crawfish for $20! You can see the photo below. It was so large, they put it in a metal tray and I needed a box to get it home. Although three of us were eating it, it was quite literally party sized. I love all of the updates they are doing here, including creating a new grab-and-go area where they were placing sushi from the food court, and their updated toy section in the front. It seems like they are making a lot of positive changes here. I do miss the old area near the bakery where you could get Halo Halo. Perhaps they will bring back that dish to the food court?

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.
