Little Asiana

One of the only Asian grocery stores in the Cincinnati area. It primarily focuses on Korean foods and has authentic ingredients for just about everything you could need. It also has quite a good selection of soju to go with whatever dishes you plan on making. The store is very small, but it has quite a lot of variety. Prices are a little bit high here but I am happy to pay a little bit more if it is supporting a small business.

You have to be looking for it, but once you find this hidden gem, you'll be glad you did! It was President's Day, so I called and they were open. I arrived and it's a small storefront by square footage, but they make the absolute best of everything they have - I asked for a certain seasoning and the clerk took me to the section I needed. Of course, not everything is written in English, so she helped me translate a little bit too.I asked if there was a treat my grandson might enjoy, and she took me to the other side of the store and introduced me to the entire seaweed section. Amazing! I picked out a snack stack and made my way back to the house. Dinner was amazing, and I know it was because of the quality seasoning I was able to pick up.Fast, friendly service - row after row of Asian food products - clean, neat storefront.

Oh man - I made a 30 minute drive to come here. There are no Asian specialty markets east of Cincinnati and fortunately. I'm giving this place a four star because I do enjoy supporting the small mom and pop shop and this clearly is one of them. I am however disappointed on how tiny this store is lol. It's a lot of stuff in such a small space - but they do have a lot of Korean goods that I was looking for.

As a Korean-American from K-Town, coming to Little Asiana was a blessing to find in Ohio! I found all the Korean food I needed. There's a lot of frozen foods, dry goods, and, of course, kimchi. One exception is there is no cooked food or fresh meat available that a traditional market like H-Mart would have. But in Ohio, Little Asiana will do! I love supporting this mom and pop market every time I visit my family in Cincy.

Little Asiana is the cutest supermarket. It's reminiscent of the local Asian grocery stores in Flushing, NY. After a Google search, I stopped in by to buy kimchi. Note to those who love kimchi, please stop buying it from WF and TJ's and shop here instead. Not only do they have different varieties including vegan kimchi, they also have other Korean and Japanese specialties and cookware/utensils. I also picked up ramen, frozen kimchi dumplings, Korean pancakes and a few spices.The only thing missing is a prepared cold/hot food bar similar to what you'd find in an HMart. I'll be sure to continue patronizing and will spread the word!

Little Asiana is a well-stocked Asian grocery (full of Korean necessities). If I lived in Cincinnati, this would be my go-to since it's close to where my son lives. I was coming in from 71 N and had no trouble finding Little Asiana (without GPS), coming off Ronald Reagan Cross County Hwy.There's a great selection of fresh produce and various kinds of kimchi in the refrigerated section. I didn't need any of those items this trip, but I was impressed by the selection offered.The store isn't overwhelmingly large and chaotic, the man who I think is the owner was nice and welcoming. The one thing that I appreciated at Little Asiana was price stickers on the products and shelves! I've been to quite a few Asian markets where prices on products aren't always displayed. If you're expecting a large Asian grocery store with appliances, clothes, and skincare, this isn't it. For everyday essentials like bags of rice, various ramyeon, frozen foods, produce, condiments and snacks, this store is perfect.

Too bad they don't have my favorite Japanese baked castella cake and Kinoko-no-Yama chocolate cookies!Owner is very nice and friendly.lots of Korean snack and Icecream are available still!

Always has what I want! Super friendly staff and very good prices. Compared to other international markets their prices are the best!

This business is great. They stock very high quality ingredients. It's understandable that the average customer will say that the products are more expensive than jungle jims - that's because this is a specialized store and they stock the actual good stuff. I was so pleased to see dried sardines, tteboki ingredients, a whole section on gochujang, a good stock of kimchi, at least 5 varieties of roasted sesamie oil, etc. From what I can see, their three aisles of product selection is more than enough. They don't have a fresh meat selection, but they do have a small freezer with bulgolgi meat, and the thinly sliced porkbelly to make foods like Samgyeopsal - yum! I did my weekly shopping, and I'm so excited to start cooking!Made from ingredients from this wonderful store! Purple rice (very healthy, they serve this at Stone Bowl restaurant on Madison), bulgolgi with the bulgolgi marinating sauce, Korean style potato salad (fresh ingredients from Trader Joe's), spinach sautéed with toasted sesame oil with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and tteboki made with their frozen rice cake and fish cake with the gochujang (spicy pepper chili paste). Definitely a one-stop place to make any Korean food!

It took a while to find this store, hidden behind the United Dairy Farmers convenience store and filling station. The little strip mall seems to be in an unlikely area for a Korean grocery store. The prices seem to be influenced by the real estate but they're still reasonable.They had the soon dubu--the really, really extra soft tofu sold in tubes, along with the spice mix so that you can make your own jjigae--Korean stew.They also had the side dish containers of anchovies, often found in the ban chan at a Korean restaurant, or merely served at home on some daikon (white radish) but the price was about double what I expected, as the container was small.I found the UCC Milk Coffee that I like so well, even though it's a Japanese product.Apparently, the person at the register didn't know English, as "Hello" was all she said. I would have expected some Korean, but there wasn't any of that, either, even though she was having a conversation as I entered the store.Y&M has more of a variety of products, but if you need something specifically Korean (dried, refrigerated, or frozen), it's likely here, because it seemed as though any daily food items for a Korean family could be found.
