A nice little store with a good amount of korean products. However, everything was definitely very very expensive.i bought 3 bottles of flavored soju, korean cold noodles and bulgogi sauce. That was around $40. The soju were close to $9 a bottle i believe. What makes things even more frustrating was that the price was nowhere to be found on a lot of products, which meant that unless you're willing to shamelessly ask the owner for the price of every single thing and getting looks for it, you're going to walk out with a bill much higher than you expect.

The owners work hard nearly daily and are always so cheerful. I have asked them questions and they always stop to help me find the product or describe something to me. This is a great local business to support! Try the fermented spicy Korean side dishes (banchan) in stone pots at the front.

Kim's is the place I come to for Korean grocery items specifically. The other Asian grocery stores in Asiatown might have some of the things you're looking for if you need Korean grocery items but why waste time hopping from store to store when you know you'll find what you need if you just come straight here? I come here because it's Korean-focused, it's tiny, it's local and the older man and woman who I see at the counter are lovely (and presumably the owners) plus they're always down answer your questions. Also they have some prepared banchan including this amazing spicy squid that you can get (priced by weight). Oh and the kimchi, I come for the jars of kimchi.Located next door to Korea House with a parking lot - it's a great spot for all of your Korean needs.

For the longest time I've been wanted to come in here but never got the courage to until now. I know this is a small shop but they had everything I need for all my korean dishes and cravings! My best friend and I always had trouble finding soju so we would usually go to a korean restaurant to order some and drink there. Obviously this would get pricey depending on how many soju bottles we buy and how often we do this. This place had a great selection of different soju flavors! For sweet snacks they also have the honey butter almonds which are seriously the best thing since sliced bread! If you are looking for certain korean ingredients for a korean dish, you will definitely find it here. It is well organized in my opinion and the staff is very helpful!

I went there for the soju since they have a good variery and noticed that there was a good variety of other asian food products that I like and would like to try. Thanks for the soju! The plum flavor is my one of favorites so far. Drink it responsibly!
