Have been waiting for a good Asian grocery close to Downtown Fort Lauderdale for a long time and Kimchi Mart finally filled that vacuum. It's a really clean store and managed well. Everything is kept in neat order. Prices are pretty reasonable. And the fact that it also has some mini takeout/restaurants on site is a huge place. We could finish the shopping while waiting for the order to get ready. The place has a huge parking lot. The store is in progressive village. The traffic here is a lot lighter. They have a fish market where we can get fresh fish cleaned and cut in a way you like. The only minor complaint was that nobody was there to assist when I went. Maybe they were under staffed. This place is a must if you are Asian and need a big bag of rice. Count me as a regular customer here.

Lots of options they even have 3 takeout kiosk inside, produce, frozen and live seafood, baked goods, and much much more! Glad I finally had a chance to check them out. Will definitely be back.

Seriously one of the coolest markets I've been to in a while and can't wait to really go back to shop! I happened to be in the shopping plaza with my husband and we saw it so we decided to check it out. We have already gone grocery shopping for the week but will definitely be going back! They had three restaurants and a giant sushi selection with the sushi chefs preparing sushi in visual site. Most of the pricing was really good with the exception of a few items. I can't wait to go back and get some sushi other things. I did grab some sweet chili sauce and sauce for a good price $5 for both.

They just opened this latest location. I love making Korean dishes. This store has everything imaginable in the Asian culinary culture. They carry pre seasoned meats, unseasoned Asian style cuts and selections. I've never seen so many kimchi and side dishes prepared and ready to serve. Super clean and well organized. I ordered some boneless wings from the bbq chicken. They have several choices. I ordered the plain boneless chicken. Delicious!!! Light and real chicken pieces. The down side is they won't even give you a small taster of any of the different sauces. That was a turn off. Service was friendly and accurate. After this you'll never go back to chick filet. Overall, this market is 8 star, not just an a simple 5. Enjoy

Opened last week in the Shoppes On Arts Avenue with some parts still under construction although extremely busy. The fresh squid and the live lobster are definitely an attraction. Some of the traditional asain items are rarely found at Publix or Winn Dixie. The sake sets are beautifully designed and reasonably priced. The white onions at .99 cents each were massive, literally the size of my hand (see pic). The Kimbab Ramen eatery displayed fresh sushi priced between $7.99 - $10.99.

I'm of Asian descent. I often shop for my Asian seasonings and groceries at places out west, closer to my home (Enson or New York Market). But I do love this new store! It offers some of the same items but is heavily stocked with Korean-centered products. Mostly, I loved the eateries on site. There is a sushi place that is teaming with take-out containers. Also, a "bb.q Chicken" (Korean fried chicken) franchise is a part of the integrated food court. Already-cooked Korean items like corn dogs and bibimbap are available, as well as baked goods and lots of other alluring food. None of the other places where I shop offer such a variety of fast food. Of course, the store carries lots of fresh veggies, fish, and all sorts of frozen dumplings and desserts. You name it, and they probably have it. They even had a refrigerator of just roe. I have never seen that in any of the other stores. I love roe! Although the store seems stocked and is very clean, I encountered one major problem. You cannot get two shopping carts down an aisle side by side. The store needs either bigger aisles or smaller carts. Maneuvering can be difficult, especially with uncooperative shoppers who are not congenial. The frozen food section is tremendous with a myriad of offerings. I had to control myself and left with just a bag of frozen japchae dumplings. I would have bought much more, including some passion fruit bars that were calling my name, but I had another stop before heading home and everything would have melted. Next time. Since I pass the mart at least once every two weeks on the way to a volunteer job, I am sure I will be popping in often.

Kimchi Mart is a welcome addition to Fort Lauderdale, especially East of 95 which has a dearth of Asian grocery stores. Kimchi Mart is all new, with clean aisles, fridges and freezers. Goods include neatly packed produce, fish and meats. It's not a supermarket destination the size of Enson or Mango Tree. With the name Kimchi, the focus seems to be on Korean groceries, frozen seafood and dry goods. I'd guess 75%, with the rest a mixture of Asian items. I hope in the future the stock is more balanced or else I still have to trek to Lauderhill, Davie, Plantation and points west. Produce, fish and meat prices are reasonable, and most are definitely cheaper than Publix (ie., ginger root $1.29/lb vs $5.00/lb !?). The store was not busy on a weekday afternoon, but it was still a bit hard to maneuver the aisles. Narrower shopping carts would have been easier to get past other carts and the stacks of boxes on the floor. The floor staff seemed nice and responsive to questions. I can tell they are still learning their jobs. The cashier was quick and on point.

Wish I could call this a hidden gem but it already seems to be a hotspot for some fresh and yummy casual Korean food and supermarket! The produce prices are very good. Fresh fish and every kind of ramen or Asian noodle one could want. Bags of all kinds of rice at great prices. The food stalls are open from 10:30-8 and serve up sushi, freshly fried Korean chicken wings, bibimbaps/noodles/soups, and more. The wings take about 20-25 min to make but are worth it. They are HUGE and 8 is more than plenty for a meal. My husband and I split 8 soy garlic and 8 spicy fried wings. I would compare the taste of the spicy fried to a Popeyes style spicy fried chicken (but much better quality.) The soy garlic was very good, similar to BONCHON for those that have tried that chain. This one was a bit more breaded which I liked. I liked having a side of rice too, and the pickled radish (you can opt in or out of this with your wings, it's a nice refreshing bite.) We are looking forward to returning and trying other flavors! There is a row of 10 or so tables which were all full. You can bring your own water or drink OR grab one from the grocery fridge (but the payment is separate for all grocery.) They also have prepared foods (kimchi of all kinds, japchae, etc.) but you have to be quick or they sell out. They are being made fresh onsite. So excited to have this in town! Plenty of parking.

Well maintained and freshly made. They also sell box lunches at the stand outside so if you're in a rush, you can grab and go. There are a few tables shared in front but they can get busy.

OMG...so many brands of Asian lychee and found the one I needed so bought two jars for $3.99. They have four cute restaurants inside - bbq chicken, sushi king, K-Roll Yumsem, and K-Sides. Everything looks so fresh and some odd too lol. Check out was easy.

Nina U.

Loved the shop-and-eat vibe at Kimchi Mart! It's a tidy, organized market with fresh produce, reasonably priced meats, and helpful staff. We grabbed sushi (tasty, comparable to Phat Boy Sushi) and galbi Korean fried chicken (flavorful, great with the included radish). A pro tip: order the chicken first, then shop. We did, though we missed a text alert when it was ready--a minor hiccup with their system. The small seating area makes for a unique, cute lunch date. Left happy with our meal and a bag full of kimchi, marinades, and ginger for home. Definitely a winner!

This soup from the BIBIB restaurant inside was so good! And the ladies attending it were very nice :)

Michael C.

Lots of variety here. All the staff were super nice. And the whole place was very neat and clean. Lots of free parking. Highly recommend, will be back!:)

Reviews are largely positive. Shoppers praise the wide variety of Asian groceries, clean and organized store, and the in-house food court. Staff are generally friendly and helpful.

Rolling up, it seems this is a market that caters more to commercial clientele, but they are open to the public too, which means you get access to all the goods. Walking in I noticed live seafood tanks that looked specific to fish, but couldn't see anything in them. I'm assuming you just had to ask. In the first case I saw nice looking shrimp and shellfish, and around the corner there were whole fish, including many of my favorites I don't often see for sale. Mutton snapper and hogfish, both around $8/Lb, lion fish at $5, and some lesser known species of grouper and smaller delicate fish as well. This selection is what makes me give them a higher rating. We were there late in the day, and the cases were mostly empty. I assume earlier in the day there's more! It's worth noting the whole fish still had guts in tact, so if you want to buy one you might ask them to clean it for you. We were on the hunt for stone crabs, and when we called they said they had them, but when we got there they were all in the freezer. Freezing shellfish definitely changes them, and not for the better. I can't imagine eating frozen stone crabs. In fact I've never heard of buying stone crabs frozen at all. So we didn't. I'd definitely go back for fish!

With the first…read morebite, I could tell this was really fresh fish, not something that had been sitting in a display case for a few days. The portion was great for 9$. I actually split the hot lunch special with a family member-you know, trying to reduce portions. The steamed veggies were waterlogged, but at least they were a healthier side option to counterbalance the other side of white rice. Didn't take long for the friendly fishmonger to grill up my selection, he was even considerate enough to ask how well done did I prefer the salmon be cooked. The mild flavor of the flaky salmon definitely peaks my interest to return and sample more of the lunch specials. The cashier is all business, no smile. I don't understand why a person raises his or her voice, if you don't understand his/her accent. Just a cultural thing, I guess. I'll plan my next visit better, so that I can also buy some fresh uncooked seafood.

Stopped by on Father's Day Sunday looking for Grouper. I not only got the freshest looking grouper…read moreI've ever had but also an education as to why the owner Emanuel prefers the red grouper over all the others. This man knows his fish and I get the feeling he would be horrified if he ever sold something he wouldn't love himself! Emanuel was happy to cut a 2 pound fillet off a much larger fish and took great pains to remove every pin bone. It was literally a perfect piece of fish from a great little shop where everyone I saw was happy and smiling. Made me want to visit Haiti. I think that is where the owner and his friendly coworker Debbie are from. The store has some other items to round out a meal so it might be a one stop shop for dinner. We, of course, forgot a couple things so we stopped at The Fresh Market on our way home. Just to see the difference I checked out the fish counter. The store might look real snazzy but the fish didn't look nearly as good and was several dollars a pound more expensive. I also doubt the people serving it up have half the passion for their products. Emanuel told us he can get any type of fish we want to order overnight and even gave me his card with his cell phone number. We are new to the area but have already found the perfect fishmonger. Keep it up Emanuel. We will see you soon!

The location is absolutely beautiful, with stunning marina views where you can watch yachts, boats, and water taxis glide by. The restaurant had a lively, energetic atmosphere, and judging by the wait, it's clearly a favorite among locals and visitors alike. We started with the Shrimp Escovitch, and it was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. My daughter isn't usually a shrimp fan, but even she loved it. The only thing I would change is the accompaniment. Fresh, homemade fried plantains would have elevated the dish and complemented the escovitch much better than the packaged-style plantain chips, which took away from an otherwise excellent appetizer. For my entrée, I ordered the blackened snapper with fries and added a side salad. Unfortunately, this dish was a letdown. Snapper is one of my favorite fish, so I was expecting bold seasoning and a memorable flavor. Instead, it was surprisingly bland, and I was also disappointed to receive a small fillet rather than a more substantial cut. At $36, I expected much better quality and value. To make matters worse, my entrée took over 30 minutes to arrive after ordering. While I understand the restaurant was busy, the long wait combined with an underwhelming meal made it difficult to justify the price. Overall, 15th Street Fisheries shines when it comes to its waterfront views and vibrant atmosphere. I can certainly see why it's a popular destination, but based on my experience, the food didn't quite live up to the setting. I would return for the scenery and perhaps drinks and appetizers, but I'd likely skip the blackened snapper next time.

I brought the package in immediately after being delivered and opened it to see what was in it. As soon as I opened the Styrofoam cooler the fish comes packed in, I was met with a strong fish odor.

I hoped it was just maybe some fish juices or something on the outside of the vacuum packed bags, ice packs or something inside the box and not the actual fish. Unfortunately, this was not the case. It was the fish that had the fishy odor. I cooked one 1 pound pack and froze the other. It still had a strong fish smell after being cooked and on the plate. This was disappointing because the fish itself tasted great but the smell brought a dish that should have been a 10 down to a 7. This may have been ok if it was salmon, but for sea bass that I'm sure was very expensive, this should not be the case. I don't know what happened but I'm not as excited to eat the frozen 1 pound pack I have left.
