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. read more

I was so happy that a decent sized Asian grocery finally found a home in Fort Lauderdale only minutes away from me. Now I don't have to traipse 30-40 minutes to Davie/Pembroke Pines/sunrise/Miramar just to get my Asian groceries. While this Asian supermarket is on the smallish side, it does pack a whole lot of goodies in. It caters more towards the Korean cuisine but they do have many Chinese & Southeast Asian products that I can pick up in a pinch. I will say their aisles are very narrow, only allowing for enough space for one way traffic flow. But their shelves are nearly organized compared to Mango Tree supermarket in Davie. Their produce section is small but they really pack a whole lot of unique produce that are hard to source elsewhere. For example they have Lion's mane mushrooms that I have not seen anywhere else. Their produce is fresh and reasonably priced. They have great meat section and all the kimchi and Korean banchan ingredients with some already prepped items available for purchase. The fresh fish section is very limited and nothing to write home about so will skip. But there are lots of frozen food items drinks, desserts, bags of rice and a few fast food restaurant stalls at the mouth of the entrance. Now when I'm cooking and find I need coconut milk or bean sprouts or crab sticks, I can run over to Kimchi mart in a pinch. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Kimchi Mart - Sign above entrance - Seafood Markets Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

This place is so clean and lovely to shop. I wasn't approached for help, but I also went on a Monday early in the morning when everyone was setting up for the day/week. The fresh meats and fish look very fresh and delicious. There are SO MANY ASIAN FOOD CHOICES!!! Plan to spend time reading packages and trying new things. Lots of prepared foods in the frozen section, also pre-marinaded meats. I felt like the prices were fair, you definitely pay more for the prepared or marinaded foods, but the raw food items looked a lot cheaper than Publix. They even had fun novelty Asian desserts that were trying tonight.Will try my dinner tonight that I selected and come again! read more

I'm pretty sure I went full-on feral in this store. They had SO MUCH that I wanted to buy, I think I spent a solid three hours going back and forth between aisles. Finally some variety!! The entire store was spotless, and extremely well-stocked. Staff were constantly on the floor keeping track of things. The produce and freezer sections were far larger than I anticipated, and super well-stocked. I feel like a lot of Asian markets that I've been to in South Florida are snack and sauce focused, but this one went so far beyond that. They're building up a little food court section too, which will make it even better. Prices were very fair for everything I purchased. Literally my only ask.... Stock Calbee Norishio chips and Garigari-kun and you will have a forever loyal customer! read more

Just checked out the newly opened Kimchi Mart, and I'm so glad we stopped by. This place is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood, especially if you enjoy cooking or hosting sushi nights at home. The fresh seafood section immediately caught my eye -- the selection was impressive, and the salmon roe was a standout. Everything looked incredibly fresh, well displayed, and very reasonably priced compared to other specialty markets. The food court is truly the highlight of the store. We picked up some freshly made sushi, and the quality honestly exceeded expectations. The fish tasted clean, fresh, and expertly prepared -- the kind of quality you'd happily pay much more for at a restaurant. It made for an easy, delicious meal without any prep at home. The store itself is clean, well organized, and easy to navigate, making the shopping experience enjoyable. Staff were friendly and efficient, and checkout was quick despite the store being busy. Overall, Kimchi Mart feels thoughtfully curated, with great products at fair prices. It's a perfect stop whether you're planning a special dinner or just grabbing something quick and tasty. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the seafood options and food court offerings. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

I usually go to the US1 location but I wanted to check this one out. It's HUGE! Such an amazing variety of products and they have food stalls! I was like a kid in a candy store! My cart was full to the brim by the time I left! $230 poorer but happier! read more

Such a big location! Came here to browse all the items and left with a loot of things to try! My daughter loves getting natto here and they had many options for her to choose from. Will definitely have to return for more spices and sauces to cook with; as well as the tasty looking desserts! read more

I heard the kimchi mart opened in Fort Lauderdale, stopped by to check. It was spacious, clean and not smelly like other Asian markets, varieties of Asian vegetables and sauces were displayed neatly, happy and convenient to have a store like this in my neighborhood. read more

The Kimbap and Bibibap were pretty good. Got everything we needed and cravings were satisfied. We were hoping to pick up lunch for our outings but it was not open till 10:30am. We couldn't wait so we got their food Onigiri instead, which was fine. read more

What's not to like? No driving out west to get good Asian groceries. Fresh sushi right as you enter, and it looks like there will be three eateries within the store. Grand Opening this weekend I read. Vegi section is great, with decent prices and variety. Great looking seafood. All sorts of rice, kimchee, snack items and more. Everything looks clean and sparkly all over the store. I can't think of anyplace like it in South Florida that's better stocked. Great find (thanks to an article in Miami New Times). https://www.miaminewtimes.com/food-drink/massive-asian-market-kimchi-mart-opens-in-fort-lauderdale-40496764/ read more
