Seoul Supermarket

Best Asian market in Lexington! Carries a wide variety of different Asian flavors, fresh produce that is hard to find at larger markets, friendly staff, and well-organized and clean. Bonus: they play happy soothing jazz for a great shopping experience.

Very clean market. Small but has everything you need in there. They not just have Korean items they also have Filipino and Chinese items too. Kimbop and the filipino pastry was freshly made. Very tasty!!! The owner was very nice. Service was great!!

This market has some mushrooms that you can't find at a regular grocery store. I was stoked to be able to find king trumpet and Snow White/seafood mushrooms that I needed for a particular dish, The new owners were there to check us out; they were very friendly and answered any questions I had. I recommend this market for those unique mushrooms and unique selection of Asian goods.

This is a Korean market. It does have somewhat of a general Asian selection, but leans heavily towards Korean ingredients. If you like seaweed, mushrooms, and sesame oil, this is probably a good thing. I did, however, find a lot of things that could be vegetarian but aren't (like mushroom soup for example), and a lot of very high-salt, high-carb indulgences, which is also typical of Korean food. They do have some fresh vegetables and baked goods as well as a lot of frozen stuff and noodles. It was a cleaner, better shopping experience than some of the other Asian markets in town.

Been going here for years. It's a Korean grocery store with kimchi, prepared Korean side dishes, ramyeon (ramen), gochujang, and other Korean staples. They also have some produce usually Korean radish, napa cabbage, ginger. All for a good price. If you need other basic Asian grocery items you can check here as well. The owners are friendly. If you can't find something, just ask and they will help.

Clean and well organized collection of items. Great customer service. It would be nice if Pinoy home cooked meals would also be available.

Very clean and pleasant little market.Some fresh veg, frozen fish, a lot of convenience food.Did not see any fresh baked goods.The cucumber kimchi is addictive. Also got rice cakes and a fish cake (in a tube like salami, couldn't find the sheets).

Glad to finally find a traditional Asian market within an hour's drive of home that carries all the quality essential items I need to make my favorite Korean inspired recipes at home! The folks who run the place are extremely helpful as well and helped me find ingredients I needed when reading the labels that were not in English. The store is setup well too. Worth a wander through to pick up the tasty bits you can't find at Kroger's!

Missing home, now living in KY this market keeps me content. Very clean and well stocked with fresh vegetables, banchan, and specialty items that are difficult to find elsewhere. The owners are very kind and helpful and I enjoy talking with them, making the hour drive for me well worth the trip. Highly recommend shopping here.

I think this is one of the best markets in town and I would buy everything here if I wasn't vegan (I love me some vegan cheese XD). It is always clean, their produce is fresh, the selection is well thought out organized and reasonably priced, and the owners are kind helpful people. I have been to a lot of IFSs (not just in town) and the owners at Seoul have their ordering and rotating down to an art. I have never in my 10+ years shopping seen anything rotting or expired or off or have a sticky unknown substance on the packaging and I used to go basically weekly. Also other stores might be bigger or have more options but this is the only place with everything I need for my average Asian recipes. They are Korea oriented but honestly that's only if you buy like prepackaged foods and stuff. Like at the ingredient level there is a surprising amount of selection from a wide variety of food cultures for such a small space. You can tell they cater to people who cook as well as to people who just want to make some tteok-bokki as fast as possible. They even sometimes have some really special ingredients that other stores don't typically carry like green shiso leaves (they're SO hard to find!), umeboshi, natto, and a dope mushroom selection. And it's all so reasonably priced! Also the owners. They are so nice! I want to give them my money if that makes sense. Like they are so helpful if you have a recipe or store stock question. I always have a smile on my face leaving their shop. It makes me happy that there are still privately owned markets like this where when you come in after a long time they remember you and ask how you are:]
