I would consider Mega Mart a smaller yet more affordable version of H-Mart. The produce section was well maintained, though the fruit selection felt somewhat limited. The vegetables looked fresh, vibrant, and were packaged neatly. However, I did notice there were fewer juice and smoothie options than expected. Similarly, the meat and seafood sections were on the smaller side. There were standard cuts of beef and pork alongside a few marinated options, though less commonly used cuts were noticeably absent. There were reasonably priced salmon and tuna blocks available, but the selection of other fish and crustaceans was limited. That said, the seafood on display looked fresh, fatty, and high quality. There was a wide assortment of Asian frozen products and prices were noticeably a few dollars cheaper compared to other grocery stores nearby. As a dumpling and dim sum lover, I found myself gravitating toward the frozen section for quite some time. While most brands leaned Korean, there were still a variety of different Asian cuisines represented. There was also a bakery built into the store and the cakes looked beautiful. Most whole cakes were priced around $40. Unfortunately, the fried pastries were unavailable during my visit so I was unable to try the croquettes. The packaged baked goods also were not fully stocked despite my morning visit, which was one area that could be improved. I did enjoy the roasted sweet potato station though, which gave this corner of the store a warm and inviting smell. The prepackaged meal section was easily the most impressive part of the store. Dumplings, noodle dishes, and rice bowls were mostly priced under $10 and were generously packed with proteins and toppings. The banchan selection leaned heavily vegetable based, though I would love to see more seasoned protein options in the future. There was also a fried chicken station where customers could order individual pieces. The kimchi dumplings were plump and generously filled. The japchae was simple but satisfying, though I would not have minded a heavier hand with the sesame oil. The sushi was neatly prepared and the quality honestly felt comparable to what I would expect at a restaurant. Overall, this is a great market although I would not consider it a true one stop shop. I would likely pair this visit with another grocery store for a wider fruit and protein selection. However, this will absolutely become one of my preferred stops whenever I want convenient and affordable ready made meals.
Still a great grocery store with great sale deals and love having their to go food selection available close by for my lazy days. BUT FCKS SAKE. Hi other grocers in the store. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE PREPARED FOOD CONTAINERS, OPEN THE CONTAINER TO EAT A FEW PIECES, AND PUT THE CONTAINER BACK. What the heck is wrong with you?! Grossssssss. I will not be taking a star down because this isnt the store's fault but they need to do something about this because I will not be buying the food here again for a while just because of what I saw today.
Been going here since they were K-Market and have been a rewards member since. After hitting my 1000 points redemption, I think it's about time for a review. Love the ample parking, prime location, and how spacious it is inside. The rewards system is essentially a 1% cash back at a 1000pt cliff -- meaning you get $10 after you spend $1000 but no redemptions before that. Being a member also doesn't get you any additional discounts vs non-members. But hey it's free so it doesn't hurt. I'll always support there being more Asian grocery stores in the West Side of the South Bay. H-Mart always had that spot for me, but now it's shared. Mega Mart's marketed as a more premium store, but it does its best when they're running sales. Price between the two are pretty neck and neck. You'll spend anywhere from $70-$200 per trip cuz the small things do add up. They used to have prepped food marked off anywhere from 30-70% off in the final and early hours of the day. Now, it's an inconsistent luck of the draw. However, I've never had an issue with food quality with anything I've purchased whether it be prepped food or raw ingredients. 4/5, solid store. Hope they continue to grow and thrive as a mainstay of the community.
Shame on me for not realizing this place existed. I love the variety of asian markets in the South Bay, my usual is mitsuwa but after seeing this on Yelp we decided to give it a visit. The pictures I've seen didn't do this place justice, it was way bigger then I expected, it reminds me of hmart but there was no crazy crowds as a hmart can have so we were able to leisurely shop without having to navigate oncoming cart traffic thought the aisles. We stocked up on various snacks and there was a huge amount of grab and go foods. We were heading for dinner after so I didn't get to try what I wanted but there is next time because the bossom looked delicious. We got a bunch of the Dubai cookie mochi things, an other baked goods, some chicken wings and japchae. The prices I feel are really good. I'm not sure if it'll replace my trips to mitsuwa entirely but I really can't wait for the next time we are in that area to visit again
not sure how I haven't heard of this market before. S tier for having hot deli food for lazy folks that still want great flavors. The selection is truly jaw dropping, from an assortment of kimchis to fried chicken katsu, hearty soups, it was well worth the 30 minute browse. also super clean and cashier managed to pack 10+ items into a paper bag, will be coming again.
I absolutely love this place! I usually come here to get food to go! They always have food that's cooked and fresh. They have authentic Korean food in addition to desserts. You really can spend a very long time in here deciding what you really want or just get everything. I have made multiple trips just to try different items. They always add new stuff too!!!
Sweet corn was really, REALLY bad. It almost tasted like i was biting into fake corn on the cobs. The salmon nigiri sushi is very yum, i usually ate this one without the provided soysauce because I'm gluten free and the fresh fish honestly doesnt need it. Tastes great with the wasabi
Pretty decent Korean market. This market is where I found the viral sweet potato bread. Not sure how long it's been in the freezer because there was some slight freezer burn when I opened the package. They also have a hot food section. In the evenings, some items will go at a discounted price. During my first time shopping here, I didn't know why everyone was just waiting around. Turns out, customers are waiting around for the prices to drop. And just like that, most of the top selections will be emptied out of the shelves fast.
Great supermarket for most Asian foods and snacks! They have the viral mango ice cream here along with grape flavor. Lots of deals here as well. Quick and easy place to grab some Korean dishes. Food in the deli section has been hit or miss for me. The kimbap so far has the best value and tastes the best. Huge portion and assembled well with bulgogi. The boneless crispy chicken has a good sauce to it and if you come when it comes out, it will still have a slight crisp to it. Hold wells for a bit but do get soggy. I'd avoid the nigiri and unagi here. The salmon didn't have much taste and is just texture. The unagi was very tough and chewy with some pieces having bones in them. The rice is a bit hard. Didn't expect much from grocery market sushi but still fell below my expectations. The Dubai chocolate sulpang was delicious. Creamy and love the crispy pieces on top. They have a drinks section as well that I'll try next time.
Sigh... and this is why I'm always hesitant to eat out. To be fair, the food selection looked fresh and yummy, and I was hungry, so I picked up the eel 'deopbap' from the ready-to-eat section. I've found all sorts of things in premade food over the years: hair, caterpillars, spiders, and today, I get to add a produce sticker to the list. Finding a sticker literally cooked onto the green pepper tells me everything I need to know: the vegetables weren't washed or even glanced at before being tossed in. I'd only recommend eating here if you don't mind a lack of basic food safety/cleanliness. It's clear the prep staff is just going through the motions. Otherwise, stick to buying the raw ingredients here and cook for your family at home where you know the food is actually being cleaned.
This spot is like Korean food take out heaven! We got the vegetarian Kimbap, gyoza, and radish with kimchi. It was a fulfilling meal. Their ready to eat food options are expansive and they keep refilling it too! The take out food was affordable. I want to try some of their pastries next.
This location honestly makes the Fremont store look so bad. This Mega Mart is actually of the right size, it's comparable to an H Mart. The aisles were neatly organized, clean, got sampling stations here and there (usually by the freezers). The prices aren't too crazy either, they have deals from time to time, just watch out for those yellow tags. MM is almost like my go to when it comes to green onions, tofu, noodles, and frozen kimbaps. Those of you who are only about the Trader Joe's frozen kimbap is sleeping on the selection here. Like the other MM location, they have a deli and bakery on the far end. Their deli selection has kimbap, japchae, variety of rice bowls, "fried" chicken (they're more on the soggy side), banchan galore, dumplings, bibimbap, and sushi. Unlike Japanese supermarkets, they just have all day 30% off or $10 flat on certain items. I've seen that deal on rice, noodles, and sushi, pretty good for a quick grab and go meal. Their bakery has prepackaged breads and cakes. They got those fancy fruit sandos, mochi breads, cream breads. They're okay, I feel like I've had better at standalone bakeries for sure, but some days you just can't say no to a cute little corn shaped mochi bun.
I love H-Mart. But I think I love this place even more! They just have so many things here, and I feel like I can explore for a while. There are so many things I want to try. I really love their ready meals at the deli. Their bulgogi is so good! They have so many different options to choose from, especially on weekends! They even have a sushi section, but I haven't tried their other meals yet. However, the hot meals are definitely a plus. Their bakery is pretty tasty as well. They even have those viral vegetable mochi, like the purple potato, corn, and chestnut, already made. I definitely bought some of those. Some of their baked goods are too cute. It definitely gets busy here on weekends, but it's not that bad. I will definitely keep coming back here.

I think I wouldn't buy any hot food from them again. The fried rice looked amazing, but when I transferred it to a bowl, it's clearly too much oil. I have a whole tablespoon of this when I transferred it out to a bowl. Then when I finished, there's still more oil dripping. This is not good for your health, don't recommend this item. Store is clean, organized. Love the purple potato pastry. read more
Has everything I need and more! Came around 7pm and some of the pastries and hot foods were sold at 50% off! Bought some kimbab, these cute cream puff sandwiches (?), and the viral mochi bread! I wish I could've had all the pastries.... They were adorable and looked delicious. Definitely come here for any Korean ingredients you need, including pre-sliced and marinated Korean BBQ meat or shabu shabu meat read more
Can't believe I didn't know this store existed until now! Went here due to the hype over the corn mochi - they have a bakery inside the store that has two packs of mochi of different types. I went in the evening, and although the bakery counter was closed, the packs of mochi and other goodies were still out for sale. I got the pack with the corn mochi (the other mochi is potato). I thought the mochi would only look like the food that it's shaped as, but both had a pretty strong flavor of its respective food item. Corn lovers must try this mochi! I love potato, but the potato flavor in this mochi tasted almost too earthy, so I'd probably try a different flavor next time. This grocery store also has a deli where they discount their food 50% off ~7pm. Pretty good deal for some fried chicken, kimbap, sushi, etc. read more
My first visit to Mega Mart was not fulfilling, as most of the hot foods were already sold out. The second visit was a little bit better with more selection to choose from. Both of these visits were during the evenings. I decided to visit Mega Mart again, but in the AM, and aaaah I was in heaven~ so much fooddddd. I believe some food comes out at different times since I didn't see the bento box from my previous visit. Bookmarking this place for hot Korean food to go! read more
When it comes down to quality and price Mega Mart would be my first choice as the best Korean supermarket in the South Bay. They have a tremendous 30% savings on kimbaps, japchae, bibimbap, ttekobokki, kimchi pancake/rice and side dishes commonly known as banchan they even have food court far cheaper than dining out at a Korean restaurants. They have fresh produce, veggies and fruits as Bro and I would spend alot on food, beer and snacks best of all it wasn't even crowded on a Friday afternoon though it was still raining. There are so many Korean restaurants, cafes, bakery shop and business in an area known as Koreatown along El Camino that borders between Santa Clara and Sunnyvale. read more

been going to hankook market for decades for the selection and prices, but finding mega mart has it's own advantages...the pre-cooked hot and cold food items is massive...while a traditional korean market food court isn't available, the number of choices and variety is enormous...the prices are extremely reasonable...$5.99 dukbokee!...everything from blood sausages to bibimbap is available at very reasonable prices...sushi and rolls too...pig feet and pork belly wraps...pick your food items...take it to the regular cash register line to pay...take your food to the self-seating tables in the corner area...the only counter order they have is for coffee and drinks...can't pay for food items there...for the rest of the market, it has most of the prepackaged food items...the sale prices are really good and sometimes better than hankook... read more
Absolute gem! Clean, great service, community feel, and organized. We could find everything we needed and felt that the selections were fresh! The hot section of food had so much variety! We couldn't help but almost buy everything we saw. Grocery prices weren't bad, and it wasn't busy on a Friday night! I really enjoyed our experience here so if you're looking for a new shopping experience, definitely check out the spot for your groceries and stop by for a hot food selection on your way out. read more

Why hasn't anyone told me about the gluten free options here?? Specifically the desserts. The Basquia Bakery mostly uses gluten free flour (gf) or rice flour. They label it nicely too. Their cakes are amazing too. I actually was given a taste at a bday party and decided to deal with the stomach ache and eat the whole slice because it tasted great and was an amazing texture. Wasn't until after someone told me it was rice flour and gluten free, that my eyes widened. So here I am buying desserts to eat while the wife and I watch the season finale of The Great British Baking Show read more

Great Korean mart with many hot food options. We got a variety of items including California sushi rolls, Korean egg, scallion and fish pancake, japche noodles with Korean style sushi and in-house baked cupcakes. We were also able to get in-house made KimChee. My favorites were the pancakes, noodles and Kim chee. We also stocked up on my oyster and fish sauces plus tons of instant ramen to choose from! Lots of frozen items to choose from as well. Oh and if you're looking for some overpriced BTS coffee, they have it here! read more

I came in Saturday afternoon and was so glad to find a fairly empty but so well stocked store! I could have honestly spent hours here! I'm very excited to try to the different marinated meats and Kim chi. they had a good variety of other groceries but I really focused on proteins and veggies! Pricing seemed competitive and I'd happily go back read more

i came here after seeing the hype about the corn and sweet potato mochi bread, and i was not disappointed! basquia bakery is located inside mega mart, and they have the prettiest breads and pastries i've seen! i got the red bean mochi and pumpkin and corn mochi bread, and they were both perfectly sweet and chewy! the market itself has so many great deals compared to other markets in the bay, and they even have more of a selection on some items!! for example, they have like 5 choices of corn tea, and over 8 flavors of konjac jelly!! super clean and big market, definitely recommend! read more

This review is only for the Basquia Bakery! I came to grab some of the viral rice cake bread & was so happy to see that they had a variety pack so I could try them all! There were also bags of just a variety of two flavors as well if you don't want to try them all. Just grab from the table in front of the bakery & pay at the registers. Since they weren't freshly made, I went home & popped them in the air fryer to get it crisp & warm again. Turned out perfect!! Sweet Potato - Probably my favorite. Super delicious filling that's perfect with the rice cake outer shell. Corn - Second favorite. Yummy sweet corn on the inside! Chestnut - I've never had a flavor profile like this before. Mildly nutty, not really sweet, but I enjoyed it. Pumpkin - I'm not too big a fan of pumpkin flavored things, but this was pretty good. Very earthy & not that sweet either. Carrot?? - My least favorite. The flavor is very light & I think it's carrot, but I'm actually not too sure. It was my least favorite. Not bad, meh. read more
Finally got the chance to check out this market and was pleasantly surprised by all large variety of groceries and prepared foods. There was a ton of fresh produce and plenty of sales throughout so lots of options if we were to come here for our weekly grocery run. We were tempted by the adorable cream puffs in the bakery section but ended up getting the sweet potato bread which was amazing! Soft milk bread with a ton of sweet potato pieces throughout the bread! I can't recommend it enough, the sweet potato adds a great amount of natural flavor and I could eat this every week. We also got the eel and tonkatsu bowls to go along with salmon and yellowtail sashimi and everything was awesome. The bowls had a good amount of protein and exceeded our expectations for grocery takeout. The sashimi was also yummy and fresh. Will definitely be back! read more
Great Korean supermarket. FRESH produce, meat, seafood, banchan and a large selection of frozen foods and snacks. Very clean and pleasant environment. Friendly and attentive service. Also, a hot food deli serving Korean cheese dogs and other delicious items. read more
I love how this market is always very clean and organized. The staff is always friendly and helpful when you have questions or need help. They have a HUGE selection of kim chi. My daughter loves coming here for the hot deli foods (sushi, buns, japchae, rice bowls, chicken wings, etc). There's usually something marked 30% off in the deli, which is always a pleasant surprise when it's something you were planning to get. They have a good selection of shabu shabu meats. And of course there are the usual items like fruits & vegetables, meat & seafood, instant noodles, sauces, soups, bakery items, snacks, ice cream, etc. They have a clean bathroom with a diaper changing station. And I appreciate the "foot pull" on the door, so you can exit the restroom without touching a door handle. There is ample parking in the parking lot. And I like how they have small and large shopping carts. read more
I was genuinely fascinated by how clean this supermarket was, and the variety of items they offered especially at the hot foods / bakery section!! To my surprise they had Korean raw marinated crab here - it's been on my bucket list for a while so I was pretty excited to give it a try. It seems like a newer supermarket - they have a HUGE produce section are limited in some items like ramen noodles. Everything here I found pretty affordable, a tad bit cheaper than H-Mart. The Korean raw marinated crab (soy) - although the crab itself tasted pretty fresh, the marinade had a huge jalapeno in it that overwhelmed the entire thing. I wish I got the spicy one instead! Their salmon sashimi was pretty fresh however, ranging about $10-12. There's plenty of parking here and overall it's pretty quiet too! read more
Hands down one of the best supermarket I've been. The store is huge, aisles are wide, products are well organized and the place is clean. Lots of fruits and veggies. They have an incredible variety of mushrooms - from the earthy, woodsy shiitake to the dense, firm king oyster mushrooms. Kimchi! Lots of them too and they also carry vegan variety as an added bonus. I think my favorite part is that you can pick up snacks, lunch or dinner here. Ready made but freshly prepared food are waiting for you. I picked up japchae and it was still warm. It was soooo tasty! Staff is friendly and helpful. Lots of parking. I highly recommend this market. read more
Extra bonus points because The K Market is the only place I've been able to get my hands on when it comes to the raw soy marinated crabs!! Thank you to my little sister for going out of her way to ensure we had a smorgasbord of foods for an impromptu Korean themed lunch. There was soooo much tasted and so much more that still needs to be explored when it comes to The K Market's prepackaged food offerings. The dishes were prepared fresh and we were even luckily enough to grab the dishes while they were still hot to the touch!! Quality ingredients are used and that only solidifies great tasting meals that you are about to indulge in. Pricing can be a little pricy on certain items but believe me, it is well worth it. Portions are plentiful and can easily be shared. 5/5. This market is spacious, clean, & provides patrons with plenty of parking!! Highly highly recommended but you don't have to take my word for it... there obviously isn't any shortage of raving reviews!! read more

Mega Mart, located in Sunnyvale, CA, is a nice, organized, and clean Korean market, but their in-house foods lack the Korean unami and quality that most people are craving. Pros 4/5-5/5 Nice, clean store, well organized, with a lot of inventory. The price is very competitive, and they have weekly sales. There are lots of hard-to-find varieties of products compared to other competitions around. In-house-made foods, bakeries, and other specialties are convenient for people who are lazy to cook. Awesome selections of different beverages to stock up on. Good produce and fruit selections. Cons 2/5-3/5 In-house foods lack true Korean unami and quality. Their bulgogi fried rice and Korean wings have a horrible taste and quality. In-house sushi was MEH at best. For spending $40.00 on their in-house-made foods, I'd rather go to an AYCE KBBQ place or somewhere else. I had some bad interactions with some cashiers; they're not too attentive or sometimes not too friendly either. When you first walk into Mega Mart, you will be mesmerized by how clean and well organized the store is. As you walk towards their in-house-made food, you want to buy everything because it looks so good, but later you find out that their food is lacking in many ways. Even though their in-house food was lacking, they really had some good selections, and the price was competitive. Thank you Mega Mart for keeping a clean and well organized supermarkets with good weekly deals. read more

What is K-Mart Happy Hour?
At 7PM a certain selection at their hot deli is half off, but I guess it goes fast. I've never been but read the reviews. They load up in their cart and wait for an employee to come with 50% off stickers
Do they have a food court where they make food to order? Thank!
No they do not. They do have a small stand in the building that serves snacks and drinks but it's outside of mega mart. Area 51 has food and drink places but again outside of the mega mart building.
Do they sell fresh oysters in the shell?
Honestly I haven’t seen fresh raw oysters. Most meats are pre-packaged with no visible butcher working in a back area. Most seafoods are pre-packaged frozen or refrigerated, but haven’t seen raw oysters.…
Do they sell fresh shishito peppers?
Hi Do they sell sweet potato cake in the in house bakery? I’ve seen lots of celebration or decorated cakes in the glass cooler, but can’t remember if they offer decorated Sweet Potato cake.
Does the deli sell hot food everyday, including Sundays? Was thinking of grabbing some chicken wings and japchae for dinner when I'm in the area.
Yes, they have hot food available everyday (that I've seen).
Where can I view the weekly ad?
At the store. Please ask for one. Thank you for reaching out.Kay
Do they accept discover?
Yes we do accept Discovery and all the Credit Card. Thank you so much for reaching out. Kay
Does their meatballs for hotpot have stuffing inside?
Do they sell Hotteok in the bakery/food court area? I never tried and want to try this street food.
I have only been there three times and haven't seen it sold there.
Can we order online for delivery of k groceries to my home? Website has not been update in years :(…
Not that I know of.
