Kukje Super Market

Kukje Super Market is easily one of the best grocery stores in the area for fresh, high-quality items and unbeatable deals. Their weekly sales are fantastic, and you can always find some really great bargains inside, whether it's fresh produce, pantry staples, or their amazing prepared foods.Their prepared food section is a standout. The sushi is always fresh, and the hot foods are consistently delicious. My personal favorites are the pan-fried pollack fillets and beef kimbaps--they're simple, satisfying, and made with care. Whether you're looking for a quick meal or something to take home, their selection never disappoints.The employees here are incredibly efficient, and they really keep things moving. Even during busy times, I've never had to wait more than 1-2 minutes in line. The market itself is spacious, clean, and well-organized, which makes the shopping experience so much better. Unlike some other Asian markets (looking at you, 99 Ranch), Kukje is spotless, with no weird or unpleasant smells, which is a huge plus for me.They also have everything you could possibly need for Asian cooking, from fresh produce and proteins to specialty ingredients for Korean, Japanese, and Chinese dishes. It's a one-stop shop for any home cook.Parking can be a little tricky because the lot gets crowded and the spaces are pretty tight, but it's absolutely worth the effort. Kukje Super Market delivers on quality, variety, and convenience, and it's always a pleasure to shop here. Highly recommend this place--you'll definitely find me roaming the aisles or grabbing my favorite kimbaps at the counter!

This place has been around for a long time. So long that I was trying to think what was here before. I did some research online, and in 1992, it was Any Mountain Sports. Does anyone remember that? Well enough history, this has always been one of my go-to spots for snacks, grab and go food, and so much more. The supermarket offers fresh produce, face care products, and a bunch of cooking products such as pots, bowls, etc. Service is pretty fast here, and it's a simple and clean supermarket. No frills.

TIP: Their cooked food section (think bulgogi beef plates, gimbap, katsu plates, sashimi plates, etc) go on sale for half off at around 650pm if you you ever need a quick meal. They sell at quick, so get there a few minutes prior!I've been coming to Kukje since 2012 prior to their new renovation and the establishment of H mart just a few minutes away by car. I can tell you for a fact that there is definitely a need for both within the same 2 mile radius. Starting with the proteins: They've got a large selection of BOTH marinated and unmarinated meats. in addition, they've got sushi grade fish and an assortment of different types of seafood. I often get my KBBQ meats here if me and my friends want to do kBBQ at home. What's KBBQ without ban chan? They got an entire section of the store dedicated to ban chan alone, i'd recommend the radish cubes, cucumbers, ?korean acorn jelly, and more. Alcohol: They've got a wide variety of beers ranging from Japanese to Korean. If you're a soju lover, they've got plenty of different brands and flavors as well as a decent sake selection. Snacks: Personally not a huge snacker, but they've got 1 or 2 aisles for snacks alone. I really like the chocolate turtle shells, Those are a must try. Vegetables: No complaints. Produce appears fresh and not spoiled often see in the more larger commercial type competitors in the area.The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The grocery store always appear clean. I will say they do often get quite busy on the weekends, especially the few hrs before dinner time. But nonetheless, they've got a great selection and will definitely suit your Korean grocery needs.

When my husband and I are in the area, this is one of our go to grocery store. Lots variety and we like to grocery shop here.

This is a nice little neighborhood Korean market that is also conveniently near restaurants, fast food joints, and the movie theater. Although the parking lot may be small that it easily gets jam packed and the building may be smaller compared to H-Mart, it has a lot of other good qualities to it.It has a decent variety of Korean food and products ranging from fresh, packaged, frozen, ready made food, and food from their restaurant that is inside the market if you want something piping hot. The market also has some household and kitchen products to Korean make up and skincare. Although, I mostly stick to the food aisles. This place also constantly has sales for their food including their ready made food that they sell daily that they usually sell out of. There are a variety of cold and hot ready made food that are decent. It isn't the best Korean food that I had, but good enough for the price you pay, especially if you go there in time for 50% off deal at 7pm. However, I recommend that you get there before 7pm because most of the food like sushi or rice bowl lunches get loaded into carts and baskets around 6:30 by people eagerly awaiting the staff walking around with 50% off stickers at 7pm. You also just got to be ready for the bustle and hustle around this time inside and outside of the market since everyone is usually looking to get that deal for an easy dinner for that night or possibly a lunch for tomorrow.Overall, this is a great place to go to for decently cheap Korean food and products. Just be ready for it to be busy and crowded when it has the food deals.

This is my go-to for prepared sushi and other foods! I've been coming here for quite some time and always get sushi rolls when we want to have take out food but in. While here we also always get some bok choy and some other produce too. One time we were there there were small avocados that were priced as 5 for $1. You never know what deals you'll find here. Overall solid store and the prepared foods are my fave.

The Korean food here is amazing. Every dish has so much depth of flavor, and the portions are generous. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, making it a really enjoyable meal. I will definitely be back.

Quality/Quantity - Road trip back to Alameda, my wife craved Korean and realized that this place was half-off after 7pm. According to GPS, we would get there at exactly 7pm.Well, my wife went aggressive; see pictures. This is just for two people, just us... Guess I will have lunch tomorrow.They have weekly ads, see website. And other special sales, see website.Atmosphere - Good size supermarket. We especially liked the restaurant in it.The restaurant's name is Kukje Grill.Other departments are: Deli, grocery, meat, seafood, etc.Parking = Terrible!!! Narrow and almost everyone is a poor driver. So we decided to double park. Our truck was full anyways and I did not want another break-in.Open 7 days a week from 8am to 10pm.Service - Good.Price - 1/2 off, so great deal.Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for what seemed like forever. 20 years...?

I've gone here multiple times and prefer this over H Mart in SF since it's not as cramped and it offers a wider selection at lower prices. With the cold weather, it's the perfect place to buy meat, veggies, and mushrooms for hot pot.And since you should never go shopping if you're hungry, there's a restaurant inside the market serving delicious sizzling bibimbap and seafood pancake. A variety of cold and hot prepared foods are also located outside the restaurant. Paired with steamed rice, roasted seaweed, and ripe avocado, their grilled unagi makes for a perfect DIY dragon roll at home. Side notes:1.) Free parking lot*Verdict: Local Korean supermarket with a diverse selection of groceries and a no frills restaurant. I want to try more of their hot foods!

Boi....this place is really going down the tubes. Was in the area and decided To get pigs feet for my wife. From the outside looks good and when she opened it, she found all these little pieces at the bottom. She was pissed and upset! I usually get them from Hankook supermarket in Sunnyvale. Very disappointed. Even at the inside restaurant, very pricey and not appetizing. I'm never coming back here.
