Kimchi
Anthony S.

Southgate Mart is a small family owned grocery store specializing in Korean goods. The store is packed with unique snacks and foods that would be essential to any Korean meal. I visited the shop specifically for their kimchi as they have some of the best around. The kimchi is pickled just right and has a good spicy flavor. If you're in the area and looking for Asian groceries or good kimchi, make sure to check out Southgate Mart!

Came for the kimbob. Was not disappointed. Nice people at the registers. Store is kind of crammed and small but I like that. Fair selection of Asian snacks and produce

Marinated raw crab
Jaynne L.

Came here for lunch today to grab some banchan. The store is small and the aisles are narrow, but it has all sorts of Korean things from snacks, ramen, produce, Kimchi, and there's a banchan section with things from marinated raw oysters, raw crab, mustard greens, boy choy, dry squid, bean sprouts, and more! And the cashier was nice and quick. I'm definitely coming back!

It's a great Korean market that is convenient and will have most of the goods that you are looking for. My only complaints are that there are Very small aisles & Slightly higher pricing than other Asian markets. To more than make it up for it - hands down the best kimchi you'll get in the Eastside. The cucumber kimchi here is insanely addicting. It's fresh, crunchy, balanced with heat and salt and slight tanginess. Also, you can get a variety of other kimchi here that I haven't seen at other markets. My fave kimchis are the ong choy and mustard green kimchi. I crave this stuff. It's perfect as is and compliments any rice dish. And if you've had it a little too long, the absolute perfect addition to any ramen bowl. Additionally, the Kimbap here is so good and so affordable. Honestly, this is the only place I'll get my kimchi from now. And it's nice that I can pick up any pantry staples that I may need while here.

Nice Korean/Asian Grocery store. Surprisingly had lots of variety of dried noodles, and frozen foods. The proprietor was very nice and friendly too! Bought some mung bean noodles and fresh rice noodles. Also purchased bean sprouts. Nice selection of spices and herbs, fresh veggies

This little Korean market is great! It's located in Factoria, so off of I-90, which is convenient. It's nice to have an option for Korean groceries other than H-mart (though H-mart is awesome too). Compared to H-mart, it's a lot smaller (the store overall is small and the aisles are narrower), but's it's full of stuff and it's fun to look around. They carry all the major ingredients you would need to make Korean food, plus they also sell kimbap and they sell homemade kimchi in jars in the back section (where the produce are). The chonggak kimchi (young radish kimchi) is really good! The prices are a little higher than they would be at a chain Asian grocery store, but if you don't want to go out of the way or just need to pick up something really quick, this is a great choice and you can support a local mom n pop shop!

I had no idea Southgate Mart was here 'til I was trying to find a parking spot to go to another business nearby in this Factoria business strip. But I'm glad I did! Southgate Mart has a lot of Korean food items. Get here early for the already-made food! As mentioned, Southgate Mart is located in a strip mall in Factoria. The parking lot can get crowded, with neighboring businesses and such. But if you're looking to stock up on your Korean favorites, it's worth a visit and the parking struggles. I visited on a Saturday and the place was crowded with lots of people grocery shopping. Let's just say I was the only non-Korean person here! I love Korean ramen, so was happy to find a bunch of options here, including cheese and kimchi ramens! The space inside isn't large, but they seem to have a good selection of items, depending on what you're looking for. They even have a freezer section along the sides of the store. I'm glad I discovered Southgate Mart and will be back whenever I'm in Factoria and in need of my ramen.

Their Kimchee tastes great. I'm not sure if they make it with MSG or not, though.

Yay! We have a T&T in Lynnwood. We became a fan of T&T when we stayed in Vancouver. Our main…read moreattraction was the hot food buffet station since shopping here always meant, yummy food at the end. My 5 year old really enjoys many of their hot food staples. The T&T in Lynnwood doesn't disappoint at all. While it is smaller than the Factoria location, we do not personally have any complaints. The place is not always packed like the Factoria location and that is a a relief. We primarily use the food & bakery sections, live fish, and frozen food sections. One can say they are a bit pricier in comparison to places like Ranch Market who have similar options but we T&T is closer to us than Ranch Market and so we prefer to go here as it is more convenient. They are special items during Boat Festival every year and we absolutely love the bun station during this time. This is also a great place to experiment with a lot of not usually found Asian alcohol in main stream supermarkets unless you are specially going to a specialty shop.

Prices are much more expensive here than they are at Trader Joe's, Fred Meyer, or Safeway. They do…read morehave some more specialized options so they are a bit more in line with a speciality store or the prices of Whole Foods. I did get some uShu Mai, which I really enjoyed, but I could've gotten it cheaper at Trader Joe's. I also found the fresh fruits to be a lot more expensive. I used to go to quite a few Asian stores in the international District, and usually the fresh foods were all cheap cheaper than any typical grocery store, but it seems to be the opposite of of this store. They do have some cute shopping parts for the little ones that are small shopping carts at a very low level for children to push and say "shopper in training". Really love this. Lines are pretty long but the nice benefit is that the cashiers are all humans and that they are not using self checkout. They typically have 2 cashiers working during the daytime. Not sure if they have more during evening hours.

We tried out the banh mi offered weekends only at S Mart. These were full of fresh cilantro,…read morecucumbers and carrots, with a moderate amount of protein. Hubs had the pork which was flavored well, I had the tofu which could have used marinade. Luckily the pickled veggies and mayo added great flavor. Reasonably priced at $7.99, about right given the protein amount. You pay for the banh mi at the grocery checkout and then bring the receipt to the banh mi counter - which is just to the left inside S Marts South entrance. This is a small spot and they get busy, so perhaps check out the wait time and order before you shop. I waited 30 minutes mid day today. (S Mart has a great selection of both Asian and some non-asian foods) The staff were very nice and helpful and our order was spot on, even with our special requests of one non-toasted and without jalapenos. We'll definitely go again.

When I first went to S-Mart I wasn't sure how I felt about it. But the more I visit, the more I…read morethoroughly enjoy the store. The produce is always fresh and they often have great sales. The selection of the frozen goods is vast and filled with many options. You can frozen meat, seafood, a vast array of dumplings. Asian staples like fish tofu, meatballs, beans curd and so much more. The fresh meat offerings are limited but you will find basic needs. Pork belly, ground meat, seafood and chicken and a few beef options. The aisles with pantry staples is vast. All the options for everything you can need. The store is big and easy to navigate. And the staff is helpful when needed.
