Prime Meat Market

Oops...organic...not generic :) on my review. Definitely will be back. With the concerns today with packaged meats..this is my solution

Hubby & I are KBBQ lovers ! We love it & sometimes we mix it up & cook at home - thinking we are saving money when in reality it costs about the same or if not more, since my husband eats a lot. H Mart was completely cleaned out of beef brisket for NYE. What to do ?? That's right, I remembered Prime Meat Market, a hole in the wall meat shop specializing in Korean meats! If you know, you know! Lucky me, they were open when I arrived. I was hoping to pick up fresh, not frozen meat. I wanted to get a variety, tongue, belly & brisket. I get in & asked the lady but she told me there was only frozen brisket available. Priced at $60, it was plenty of meat for 2 of us. I was a bit disappointed though - for that type of money I would expect better marbling in the meat. I bought the pack anyway & complimentary, you get stinky radish + your choice of white or green onion + sauce. Great !The meat was alright - definitely not as tasty as the meat I get at H Mart. I would love to try this place again, but hopefully when I go there will be more options available & not just frozen brisket :(.

Great Korean meat market behind Mitsuwa. I've been meaning to stop by and glad that I did. The shop was clean, well organized, cozy. They have both marinated & unmarinated meat. The quality is high, way way higher than H Mart or Zion. Prices are high but you know inflation. I rather pay more for better quality. I tried the spicy marinated pork, some side dishes, picked up some kimchi too. Pork was so delicious, whole family loved it. Free romaine lettuce, shredded green onion & samjang was nice. Friendly service by father & son team. Can't wait to go back to try their bulgogi & galbi. Convenient Irvine location.

This small mom and pop meat market is awesome. If you want the freshest highest quality kbbq meat to grill at home this is your place! It's pricey but you get what you pay for. They also give you sauces and lettuce along with thinly sliced onion with marinade. Don't forget to grab some thinly sliced pickled radish or some rice paper to eat along with your freshly grilled meat.

Excellent quality and very friendly service! The "samjang" side dipping sauce that came with meat was delicious!

My family enjoys getting meat from here for our Korean BBQ when we celebrate special occasions. I believe if you purchase over a certain dollar amount, they give you leaf greens, salad w/ dressing, chili paste, and sambal (I think that's what it's called). I typically order pork belly, short rib, pork shabu, and beef shabu. If you enjoy Korean BBQ and grilling your own meats, I recommend buying them from here if you're in the area!

The meat taste is 4+ stars, but the price is not. It is WAY overpriced. How can they charge $80 bucks for one package of galbi (the quantity of which is the equivalent of a $30 pack at the Korean markets?? The quality is good, but almost triple good???Stop being so expensive and we will return.

My go-to meat market for quality Korean BBQ. A friend suggested the place a few months ago and we tried the marinated LA galbee and it was amazing. The quality of the meat was top notch. You can tell by looking at it and of course tasting it too. The marinade was spot on. They also sealed it in a nice, sturdy plastic packaging. I've been ordering ~10 lbs of marinated LA Galbee and they pack it in 2 sealed packages. We love it and have gone back several times. Try it. The quality is undeniable and the value is there.

Do they sell Aged Meat? Looking for a meat market near or around the City of Riverside that sells AGED meat.

By far the best butcher shop I've ever been to, especially if you're making any kind of Korean dish. Went there earlier yesterday to get a full pork belly.The man that helped me was so nice, the service was amazing! It's a bit pricey, but the meat quality is absolutely worth it.I used to get pork belly from Costco. But those stink up the whole kitchen when you open them. The one I got from Prime Meats had no smell at all!Seriously, some of the best pork belly I've ever cooked, definitely check it out!
