Great selections! The grocery store has fun finds. Staff is friendly ! The korean corn dogs are amazing! I haven't tried the other food but definitely would

09.Spicy Short Rib Soup
Hannah B.

This was my first time at Ktown Market, it exceeded my expectations! So delicious. I've had many versions of Spicy Short Rib Stew and this was one that had the most meat I've ever seen. There were 4 whole ribs placed in my soup. It was well worth the cost of the meal. The trade off was less vegetables inside the soup. My family equally enjoyed the kimchi stew and spicy pork dishes. The dumplings were quite good as well. I liked the mix inside.

Good. Ordered the 20 piece wings today with our go-to soy garlic sauce. The best. We got the sauce on the side. It's $2 if you want additional sauce on top of what it comes with. Tried the steamed dumplings and I thought they were pretty decent but oversteamed/slightly soggy. I liked the sauce it comes with but it's definitely different than your standard soy sauce. It tastes a bit tangy and sweet like it's vinegar based. A different woman was there when I picked up my order but she somehow knew/must have seen me when I ordered earlier which was nice. Service is pretty friendly. And as always, the corn dogs are amazing. I didn't order them this visit but felt it was worth mentioning. We went around 12:40pm and it wasn't too busy but got busier around 1/1:30. It can get very busy so plan accordingly if you're in a hurry. We've never dined in but the food has always been tasty for us. There's parking in front and on both sides of the shop which is convenient.

Spicy beef soup, fried chicken wings and Kalbi ribs. All done perfectly. Home cooking Korean style!!

I was thrilled to find home cooking Korean style selections. Went for the spicy beef soup. Large portion and so delicious. Kids raved over the fried chicken wings and King Dong sugary fried cheese on a stick. We bought over $50 of Asian groceries just to try and was happy with most of our picks. The KPop store had fun goodies for the kids. Gotta try this neighborhood gem!

Nah 29. Noodles in Black Bean Sauce

Ktown Market has very authentic Korean food and the vibes to match it. The food comes out steaming hot and taste amazing while also being great value for the amount of food you get. The food is relatively spicy, but they have cold water nearby handy. Stepping in you'll feel like you're in Asia getting a meal. Overall great spot, highly recommend.

This is the "sides" that come with my wife's meal which was noodles.

I ordered spicy fried chicken. There is no waitress or seated service. You order in the store. I was taken aback when I she said my chicken was $28.00. My wife's food came out in about 20 minutes, My chicken came out 15 minutes after that. So...the chicken was ok for Korean spicy chicken. But $28.00 is outrageous. And there was NOTHING else with the chicken. No slaw....fries or anything. You have to get your own plates and plastic eatware. No Korean cooks. So it's a very expensive chicken lunch with nothing but chicken. They also asked if we wanted to tip. For what?? You get nothing associated with a restaurant. Self serve and self clear your own table. Very disappointing.

Bibimbap

I've been here a few times and it's definitely a solid spot to visit if you want your fix of homey Korean food or if you're looking for Korean groceries! Plus they now have a little cafe as well as a K-pop store upstairs if you're interested. When you enter, the restaurant area is to your right and you can order at the front. It can take a while (~20 min last time I visited) for the food to be ready so I usually just browse the grocery store. I've tried several of the rice-based dishes here including the bibimbap, bulgogi dupbap (stir fried bulgogi beef with rice), and jaeyook dupbap (spicy stir fried pork with rice) -- portions are huge and everything has been quite good.

cafe menu

Support local businesses. Family owned. Lots of fun snacks and a yummy cafe. They also have a boba/coffee bar.

Hazelnut coffee and the ice ball! You don't need anything along with the hazelnut coffee. It's lightly sweetened and well flavored.

This has been a go to for me and my daughter for years. They've expanded their menu and products... They even have a kpop store on the 2nd floor!! The customer service is always super pleasant and the staff are always ready to share parts of their culture with you, which I humbly appreciate. The store is clean and quaint. I love it here and you will too!

My favorite little neighborhood shop to stop by and grab pantry staples. They have a good selection for being a smaller shop. You can find every condiment, rice, noodle, and most Ramen that you would want. They have a small refrigerator and freezer section, but they carry a lot of options. You won't find a ton of meat here, but they do have some hot pot frozen meat items. Definitely check out their homemade kimchi in the back. It is excellent! The service is always nice and friendly and they have a small restaurant inside to grab a bite to eat. They also have Boba tea options, Korean, ice cream, and taiyaki (made to order!) yum!!!

Does the market sell Soju?

Do they have Korean cream cheese garlic bread?

Not that I'm aware of

Are there vegetarian options?

They have a Hearty Veggie Bowl next to section 138. This consists of mixed veggies sauteed (mushroom, carrot, onion, etc) in some unknown sauce laid over top of brown rice. Its $13 and mostly all rice. Not very appetizing but its food. You can also…

Walking in the restaurant feels modern, upscale, sleek, intimate, and trendy. Since we arrived for lunch during the week they were running a few lunch specials. I ordered the sushi combo (6 pieces of nigiri and a Sushi Mon hand roll) with a miso soup. The miso soup was a pleasant surprise and was delicious quite filling as it contained cabbage, salmon, and mushrooms. The 6 pieces Nigiri was also well balanced and had a good selection of sushi (amberjack, salmon belly, cooked shrimp, etc.). The Sushi Mon hand roll was good but had a bit of heat to it. Overall, visiting Sushi Mon for lunch was a good experience and I'd likely return if I'm in the area

I'm not really into sushi, so I mostly stuck with the kitchen food. I basically ordered one of each thing and we all shared everything at the table. My favorites were the shumai (fried shrimp dumplings), chicken teriyaki on a stick, sweet potato tempura, ginger salad, and crab and cheese wontons. I even decided to be adventurous and tried two nigiris, and man, they were so buttery and not fishy at all! I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed them. I also tried another sushi item from my sister-in-law's plate, but I didn't really like the seaweed in it. My husband ate all the nigiri he wanted, and we all went home happy and full! Great service, great food, and I would definitely go back again.

The sashimi and seafood were especially delicious--some of the freshest we've had. The staff provided excellent, friendly service and made us feel very welcome throughout the meal. The restaurant is also much larger inside than it appears from the outside, with plenty of space to host private parties or events for around 50-100 guests. The location is convenient, with ample parking right next to Harris Teeter, making it an easy spot for family dinners or group gatherings. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for fresh, authentic Japanese cuisine!

I have told so many people about my love for AJumma so now it's time for me to make it Yelp…read moreofficial. Ajumma is a newer addition to the Korean food scene in the Triangle but it has quickly become one of my favorites and most frequented plaes. While their menu (and space) is not the biggest, they have a good variety and their banchans (side dishes) are top notch! They change up their banchans frequently and you'll probably encounter some new-to-you banchans here. A couple of items I like to recommend to anyone are Sagol Mandukuk 사골 만두국 (beef broth dumpling soup--get it with rice) and Dak Gaejang Kalkuksu 닭개장 칼국수 (spicy chicken soup with noodles). I've quite literally ordered one of the two every time I've gone to Ajumma (and bring the leftover broth home) because they're just that good.

This little Korean restaurant is situated with a bunch of other places like Ruth's Chris and…read moreBonefish Grill. There's a waitlist computer check in on the right when you first come in making it easy to get in line. Not too bad with the turn around time. This is a casual Korean restaurant has a lot of the menu! Every dish you order comes with some complementary side dishes that pairs with your food. You can eat as an appetizer but it's mostly for a pairing with your dish. You get kimchi, fish cakes, and a pickled pepper?, and corn cheese. The corn cheese is something that a lot of Korean bbq places have now a days and a pleasant surprise for a general Korean restaurant! Out of everything we had I'd suggest the top dishes Soon tofu soup with beef 3.8/5 This is had great flavor and had a good spice level to it! The only reason i knocked it down a little cause the meat, while mostly good, had some grizzly parts and a little tough. But I still enjoyed it! Seolleongtang 4/5! The broth is clean and milky with rich beef flavors, solid broth!! The noodles and meat were great! The meat was very tender and soft! The only downside is it's traditionally suppose to come with a side of rock sea salt to self season, but only came with table salt, nbd, but would've been nice. Overall this was really good, I've had a lot and this is definitely top 3 Great service and attentiveness and great home style Korean comfort foods
