Ktown Market

This could possibly be the best korean food in the triangle, but granted I have not tried them all. I got the kimchi soondubu which was perfectly spiced to my tolerance level (if you love spicy, this might not be spicy enough), but it comes out piping hot. My partner got the chicken katsu and it was such a good deal. If you're used to Japanese katsu, this is a Korean spin on it and it's good in its own way! It was very crispy. I don't know what that orange sauce it comes with is, but it was incredibly light and refreshing and gingery, it was different. It also came with another thick, sweeter sauce which maybe for the salad? Not sure, but he and I liked the orange one better. It was a good deal for the portion they gave! The wait is very long, so be prepared for that. But I'd say for the mom and pop ambiance it has/home-style feels, and the value you get, it's worth the wait. I only wish there was more banchan because that's one of my favorite parts of Korean food but the kimchi they had was really good!The taeyaki was decent. It won't be like Korea's but it fulfilled the craving for me.

My favorite little neighborhood shop to stop by and grab pantry staples. They have a good selection for being a smaller shop. You can find every condiment, rice, noodle, and most Ramen that you would want. They have a small refrigerator and freezer section, but they carry a lot of options. You won't find a ton of meat here, but they do have some hot pot frozen meat items. Definitely check out their homemade kimchi in the back. It is excellent! The service is always nice and friendly and they have a small restaurant inside to grab a bite to eat. They also have Boba tea options, Korean, ice cream, and taiyaki (made to order!) yum!!!

Wide selection of groceries and fantastic bubble tea!! I've not eaten the food there yet but it always smells good

I've been here a few times and it's definitely a solid spot to visit if you want your fix of homey Korean food or if you're looking for Korean groceries! Plus they now have a little cafe as well as a K-pop store upstairs if you're interested.When you enter, the restaurant area is to your right and you can order at the front. It can take a while (~20 min last time I visited) for the food to be ready so I usually just browse the grocery store. I've tried several of the rice-based dishes here including the bibimbap, bulgogi dupbap (stir fried bulgogi beef with rice), and jaeyook dupbap (spicy stir fried pork with rice) -- portions are huge and everything has been quite good.

I love KTown Market. I've loved it since it was called Kims and it will always be Kims in my mind. I order from the restaurant somewhat regularly, it's easy to call and pickup or even have it delivered by doordash. They also have a really great grocery selection. I am able to find most things I need and even discovered some new favorite products here! They have also added a food truck outside that you order on a giant iPad type thing inside. I have not tried it yet, but I will!

Nice to have a Korean Grocery/Restaurant/ K-pop store in Raleigh! It's not as big as Hmart but definitely has some good staples Restaurant:Casual spot, prices are about $14 per entree. There was a good number of people in the small cafe during lunch time which is a good sign. The Korean Fried Chicken and Stew both seem popular here I got the tofu stew 4/5 - good but not memorable. Comes piping hot with Bonchon and rice Fried Dumplings 3/5 - I thought they would have more flavor but they were pretty bland unfortunately. Good crispy texture though Coffee Station: they have crispy waffles, snow desserts, and boba Grocery:Decent selection of snacks, staples, frozen goods and a small selection of fresh produce They had all the basics I was looking for and some fun snacks I wasn't expecting I didn't get a chance to check out the K pop store but it's a cool concept!

This is my favorite grocery and lunch spot. The food is always delicious and the staff is so friendly. The grocery has many great items that you can't find anywhere. The store and restaurant have a great atmosphere. They also now have a Korean corn dog truck!!! If you like or want to try Korean food and culture I highly recommend stopping

Absolutely delicious. From the minute we pulled up in the parking lot. It definitely did not seem like much. The food took about 5 to 10 minutes to get to the table but when it got there, it was definitely worth it. The restaurant is nestled in what looks to be a Korean convenience store that has all sorts of treats from Korea and Japan. If you're ever in the area highly worth the drive, definitely worth a visit.

Been a while since we were here but glad to report food is still great here, delicious Korean food at reasonable prices. This time we got the bibimbap, both the hot stone pot and the normal salad version. Both were appetizing and yummy, with fresh veggies and tasty beef. The last dish was a galbi short rib soup which was tasty and light, perfect for a cold day! We'll be back soon!!

Ktown Market is a hidden Raleigh gem. Not only do they sell a wide variety of Korean produce/snacks/drinks, but they also have an incredible kitchen serving up authentic Korean meals. Staff is always friendly, and the food is consistently delicious and comforting. My go-to is the Kimchi Jiggae (kimchi stew) and any of their dumplings - a perfect meal for cold days. They also always give little portions of banchan (various Korean side dishes) with your meals, even for takeout. Kimchi Jiggae portions are very large and can last me a couple of days for one order. Highly recommend if you're craving some authentic Korean food!
