I just visited this place after finding it on Yelp because I was craving kimchi and needed to…read morerestock. Instead of going to my usual Korean market, I wanted to try something homemade and I'm so glad I did. All of their kimchi is made fresh just days prior, and they offer a great variety with different vegetables and sizes to choose from. It's a small market, but they also carry other Korean goodies, which is a nice bonus. The kimchi I got was really good! super fresh with a nice tangy flavor, well balanced seasoning, and a satisfying crunch. It wasn't very spicy, but still really flavorful and easy to enjoy. So happy to have found this place. I'll definitely be back!

There was a lot of hype about this kimchi spot so I decided to make the drive about 1 hour and 30…read moreminutes each way. Honestly it was totally worth it. After trying their kimchi, I don't think I can go back to store bought kimchi anymore. I was a little worried about the language barrier since I don't speak Korean, but luckily their son works there full time and helped explain the different kimchi and their fermentation process. He was very knowledgeable and patient. It was really nice supporting a family business, and you can tell there is a lot of care and tradition behind their kimchi. We picked up two jars. The red kimchi is $15 and tastes just like the kimchi you get at a good Korean BBQ restaurant. It is very flavorful and pairs perfectly with grilled meat. Add some KBBQ, a fried egg, and rice and you have a great meal. The white kimchi is $19 and is lighter and refreshing. I enjoy pairing it with pork belly wraps because it balances the richness of the meat really well. It almost feels like a palate cleanser between bites. Both were absolutely delicious. Once I finish these jars, I will definitely be making the drive back again.

Visited the Zion Market in Buena Park for the first time!…read more My first impression was that it's quite a bit bigger than the Irvine location. There was a much wider selection, and the sale prices were surprisingly good. The biggest surprise? Pineapples were only $1 each when we visited (7/3/2026)! If you enjoy browsing Korean grocery stores, this location is definitely worth checking out.

This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a grocery store…read more Before shopping, my family and I had lunch at the tonkatsu restaurant next door and bought some bread afterward. Inside the bread bag was a partially eaten container of seasoned seaweed that I had been eating. Before I even entered the market, the security guard at the entrance stopped me and, in a confrontational tone, asked, "What's this?" I showed him the container and explained that it was simply the seaweed I had been eating. I asked if there was a problem. He replied that the market sells the same product and that it could be misunderstood. I completely understand the need to prevent shoplifting, but instead of politely explaining the situation, he spoke to me in an accusatory manner from the very beginning and even criticized my tone of voice. I've shopped at many grocery stores, but I've never had a security guard confront me before I even entered the store. It completely ruined the shopping experience for my family. My children were surprised and upset by the security guard's rude behavior. They kept asking me what had happened and why he was talking to us that way, which made the whole experience even more disappointing. To avoid any further misunderstanding, I left the container of seaweed at the entrance before going into the store. This was an extremely unpleasant and disappointing experience.

Unfortunately It's out of the way for an Irvine resident, the bakery was the main reason for our…read morestop here, and it was worth it! while browsing around couple of things caught my attention for which I'll have to come back, a box of Hobby chocolate bringing back childhood memories, would be great if they sold individually. while browsing the produce section I noticed they had faggous! which I haven't seen in the US in the last 20 years. Mousi non alcoholic malt was available in both green apple or pomegranate flavors. Mostly products that we had in Jordan growing up and haven't seen or tasted in ages so another visit is a must. Service was great, cashiers were very friendly, Store clean and welcoming. I hope they keep it this way

Wow, what a gem! Imagine a small neighborhood Korean Grocery store that imports specialty ban-chan…read morefrom different regions in Korea. But they also have a kitchen and do catering, and make their own Kimchi and Ban Chan as well, FRESH DAILY. Man oh man, their KIMCHI is pure perfection! It is what TOSoonEE (Seoul Kimchi in Garden Grove) used to taste like. $20 but oh so worth it!!! - Fresh ingredients - High quality chili peppers - Not fishy at all - Very well balanced - And nicely fermented so you can start eating as soon as you get home - Today they had the POGI kimchi (which is the full length cabbage heads, that you slice into bite sized chunks), it was so freakin good! They also had picked roots/leaves, etc. - I picked up a few to try that were on sale for $4.99 They had a frozen red bean mochi for $6.99. - It was wrapped in a fragrant leaf - So the mochi takes on the leaf's flavor - Super simple but tastee They also had a mini-dried-shrimp stir fry banchan. - perfectly done Man, they have so much other stuff, grains, teas, dried items, etc. gotta go taste the whole store. They said for catering, you can just call in advance, with a min order of $30. So reasonable. They are open Mon - Sat. until 7pm. Closed on Sundays. They are in the same retail center as Thai Lady. Parking can be tight, cos there is also a martial arts place, parents/parking, etc.

**MAJOR HEALTH HAZARD**…read more I usually dont even post reviews, but this I had to. I purchased a fresh concha from the bakery here yesterday. I took a large bite and swallowed it, only to look down and find that the entire interior is completely infested and riddled with dead insects baked directly into the dough. I am experiencing severe nausea from ingesting this contaminated product. When I called corporate customer service to report this severe quality control failure, the representative completely stonewalled me and REFUSED to open an official risk management report. I have safely preserved the physical evidence and have filed a formal complaint with the Orange County Health Care Agency (Environmental Health Division) to investigate this facility's flour supply. AVOID GOING HERE AT ALL COSTS!!

Ahhhhh love this cute little store!!!…read more It's not very big. However, they have lots of fun grocery items from Europe. Everything is imported from England/ London and the price does reflect that. Still, no biggie for me. I'm fine with paying the higher price since they imported it for me lol I enjoyed going on vacation to different parts of England. It's always hard when you travel to another county and want to bring back a bunch of souvenirs for friends and family, but you don't have the space in your suitcase. Bummer lol Not to worry, you can find gift items here! They sell chocolates and candies from England. That's fun! They have bags, cooking mitts, and pot holders that are cute. Cards and magnets, along with fun items you can find from England. I could buy up all the things in this store! It's so cool! I grabbed a rum butter and Guinness infused chocolates. Yum!! Service was good. This mini mart with things from England is great!

A stationery lover's wonderland- and a dangerous place for anyone who lacks self-control around…read morecute things. The store definitely gives Daiso and Miniso energy, with shelves packed full of Disney and Sanrio inspired goodies. Some items are priced a bit higher, but honestly, Daiso lost a lot of its magic for me after bumping its base price to $2.25. What used to feel like a budget friendly treasure hunt now occasionally feels like a comedy sketch where I'm staring at a tiny plastic trinket asking myself "this cost how much?" Ebisu does have plenty of stuffed animals and the anime plushies with astronomical price tags, though. I had excitedly picked up a medium sized Stitch plushie, only to flip it over and discover it was well over $50. My heart nearly stopped. Thankfully, there are still plenty of affordable gems hidden throughout the store. My personal happy place was the stationery aisle- specifically, the glorious wall of pens. No, these aren't premium Japanese brands like Sarasa or Pilot. They're made in China pens, but they're outrageously adorable. At just $1-$3 each, they practically hopped into my basket on their own. I spent an embarrassingly long time admiring colors, clicking pens, and convincing myself I absolutely needed the extra whimsy. My inner pre-teen was beyond giddy. I'm pretty sure I reach peaked serotonin in that aisle. As an unexpected bonus, I also found corn sticks in the snack aisle- a snack I pretty much inhale. Between the stationery treasure trove, nostalgic snacks, and surprisingly solid skincare section (Dr. Jart masks for just $10!), this store managed to hit every one of my weak spots. The cashier was also super sweet! I can absolutely see myself wandering back in the near future- probably for sunscreen, skincare, and definitely not for more pens. That's what I'll keep telling myself, anyway.
