Oriental Food Mart

The place is my favorite because of the nice graffiti they got on their wall. Always puts you in a good mood. I've tried some of the ramen options here like the instant packets. They're better than the ones at the regular store for sure. The cashier is nice peeps too. Definitlet recommend this place.

There's a neon sign in the window -- "한국마켓" -- that makes it clear this is the place for Korean food. There are other Asian groceries in the area, but they don't specialize in Korean 식품 the way this place does. 뻥튀기, 추장, 고등어, 등 등 등 -- if that's what you're looking for, start here.

I stock up o all my Korean ingredients and essentials from here.The store owner is always there when I go; a hardworking man who is always cutting and packaging fish, stocking, or cleaning the store, i addition to offering advice and assistance with anything you need.Be sure to check out the bakery case, in the floor sliding fridge to the right of the cash register for some delicious goodies!

This is the best grocery store to get all my essential Korean ingredients and even fun Korean foods. It is so hard to find Korean pears and Asian sweet potatoes and I feel so lucky that they have it here. I like their various selection of Kimchi and tofu.They have most of the meats needed for any Korean recipe along with many seafood options. They try to keep up with the 'trending' chips and instant Ramen from Asia, so its been enjoyable trying them out. They also have a large selection of nori, seaweed, hot pepper flakes and paste, soybean paste, noodles, sauces, and seasonings. Love the owners and well. Very sweet!

For New Years Eve 2017, we wanted to make some homemade kimbap (Korean-style sushi-type rolls) and decided to come to Oriental Food Mart to grab most of the ingredients. The only downside was that carrots are sold in packs as opposed to individually, so we ended up for more carrots than we need. Otherwise, it's a small compacted store but it has most of the main ingredients and lots of fun finds throughout the store. I stocked up on some delicious Korean-style Cheetos snack which is my absolute favorite, try it if you haven't already! (A little pricey at $1.99 per bag but still worth it!)If you come in through the store, the refrigerated section is to the right side of the store, along the walls. Then there's some snacks and dry food in the middle, with sauces and tools near the back of the store. The cashier counter is to the left when you enter. There's some parking along the street, we usually just parallel park right outside the store.

I finally found a Korean mart in Madison! I'm so happy!! I was looking for an asian grocery store for several days here and started to doubt that there would be a store carrying the Korean foods, drinks and snacks that would make my sister feel a little less homesick being so far away from NC but then I found this place! Yay! Don't let the front of the store scare you away, I realize it makes it seem as though it'll be dirty and cave-like, but it is anything but! The store is actually pretty clean and well organized with a large variety of Korean foods (packaged, frozen, and a small selection of fresh foods!) as well as household items. That being said, if you are looking for other asian products, you may not find it here; but if you are solely looking for Korean products, this is the place! Firstly, it's the first place I've seen a variety of ramen, korean buckwheat noodles (Naengmyeon), black bean noodles (jajangmyeon), rice cake and ddukbokkie, kimchi (other asian grocery stores in the area only carry one brand that doesn't look too great...) AND much more like bulgogi, korean ice cream, porridge and yogurt! In terms of Korean products in the area, this place is a goldmine. Granted, I only checked out Asian Midway, Yue-Wah and Hmoob but their selection was seriously disappointing. Sure, this food mart is not the best korean store I've been to, but it provides the locals with the Korean products I couldn't find anywhere else.I also wanted to note that the owners here are very friendly! Once I walked in they immediately greeted me and wanted to help me as best they could. This type of service was such a breath of fresh air compared to the service I had at the other asian grocery stores where I was completely ignored nor greeted or acknowledged in any way. I'm honestly just glad to have found a mart that carries familiar foods my sister can enjoy. Thank goodness they have their neon "Korean Market" sign, or else I'd still be searching!Just a note that they do accept credit cards (Visa/MC, not AmEx) but with a $10 minimum.

This is a tiny little family owned and operated Korean market. They have all the Korean goods you need, kimchi, rice cakes, fish balls, gochujang, marinates, teas, Korean gummy candies, a variety of rice, instant soups and congee, fish sauce, goguchan and much more. Try something new and enjoy.

I went with one of my friends a couple of months ago and they had so much stuff! I found everything I wanted and more! The baked goods were remarkable, the selections of frozen food was incredible and the owner is such a nice guy! I bought about $80 worth and he helped me carry it to the car. I highly recommend going here for any of your food needs, and I'm absolutely going to come back!

It's a super cute korean grocery store. It has a variety of authentic food items that you can't find any where else in Madison! It has a variety of items for a great price, their meat selection looks super fresh as well.

3.5 stars. Nice little mom and pop place next to the hot pot place that my SO and I go to. It's squished into a little store with everything you might need, but I find the prices of packaged foods (like ramen and frozen dumplings) to be a little too high sometimes. I probably wouldn't go completely out of my way to stop by, but it's very convenient if you're around the area.
