    Is it small and crowded? Can it be hard to find parking? Yes and yes. But while it's not always super easy to shop here, I find that the prepared items are hard to beat. The kimbap is $4.99 and has a dozen pieces! Lunch, done for under $5! The spicy pork lunchbox (pork, rice & fish cake) is so huge that I split this into 2-3 meals and it's only 13.99. What a deal! So delicious and fresh, too. I also love getting the marinated bulgolgi steak to cook at home and serve over rice. Again, easy prepped foods make the sometimes frenzied shopping experience & the trip over here worth it!

    Small, busy market. I love the lunch counter in the back because if I go there hungry, well you know what happens. They have a steamed bun booth in the front if you only want a little snack. It's not as fancy as the big chain, but they have everything. My favorite is the little deli container of bibimpap garnishes. Just right for 1-2 people. 다 너무 맛있어요.!!!

    Been going here for a million years. I think it was Chicago Food Company way back. Anyhow, just a great place to shop. By far the best raw shrimp you can buy, shrimp that actually tastes like shrimp. And at 5.99 a lb! Also great for rare fresh herbs. Kaffir Leaves and Thai Basil. Also, Thai Red Chilis. Soft Shell Crabs a great buy too.

    I've been coming to this grocery store and snack corner for over 7 years and it's an institution for a reason! There are many locations and each are all excellent. This location still gives that mom and pop feel. The snack corner meals are a great deal with a good portion size - coming with rice and side dishes. The bulgogi, spicy squid, and seafood soondubu are my favorites. They always have specials going on, so be on the lookout for them!
