A R Supermarket

This is one of my favorite Korean markets in SoCal. They always have such a wide selection of produce at affordable prices. The parking is usually always packed and it's good to go in the morning. Lately, there's been a shortage of carts so it's good to spot people who are returning those. I really like the selection of fruits and there's a great variety. The leafy greens are always so fresh and at great prices. I appreciate all the different premade foods and marinated meats.

Great Korean supermarket!Perfect for buying Korean ingredients that you can't find at other Asian supermarkets in the area. The meat section is perfect for buying your favorite cut and cooking Korean BBQ at home. They have great produce and fresh vegetables to choose from. Compared to American grocery stores, the prices here are a lot cheaper and they always seem to have new items in season. However, certain sections of the store are lacking and could use a better selection. There are also some items that we were looking for like boba pearls and they didn't seem to have them which was disappointing.The place overall is pretty small, but they have a lot of other small shops and a small food court inside as well. You can tell that it's an authentic Asian supermarket because it's not super clean. ^_^ It's located in a large plaza with other shops and a popular coffee shop so there are plenty of parking spots.Highly recommend!

This review is for my favorite marinated short-ribs #2 as shown in these pictures. They used to cost $9.99 and I thought it was expensive! But now it is $13.99! Yikes! I guess I have to marinate my own now. We used to have to get in line to get these meats! I did not see anybody when I was there. These short-ribs are well marinated and very tender. They are ready to grill and eat at home. I don't really purchase anything else here. Parking: it used to be a nightmare finding parkings. Suprisingly when I dropped by this past weekend, it was wide open! Maybe I got lucky. It is in a big shopping plaza so there should be plenty of parkings. People drive a bit wild here though.

My friend lives in Garden Grove and she told me that actually A.R. Supermarket is her favorite for getting Korean food and products. That's interesting because I was often shopping Korean food in H Mart nearby but never noticed this A.R. Supermarket so I went to check it out. It offers a wide variety of products at prices significantly lower than the H Mart's!!Vegetables, fruits, and mushrooms are very fresh, with organic brands too. There's also a wide selection of side dishes, meat, seafood, frozen food, sauces, snacks, instant noodles, shampoos and etc. Those items are often on sale. For example, Harim's frozen ginseng chicken soup was $7.7 (dated 5/2024) on sale while it was priced at $9.9 on Weee even after a discount.The store layout is okay, but the lighting isn't as bright as H Mart's, so it might seem not so modern, however, I don't mind as long as it provides good products with great price. There are a few shops aside in supermarket including shoes shop, Korean cosmetic chain store, women clothing stores and hair accessory shop. Overall, it's a great place to shop at one stop and I definitely recommend it.A.R.

Located in the Korea Plaza within Garden Grove, CA, A R Supermarket is a good place to pick up Korean groceries. It is in the heart of K-Town, and has large parking lots similar to other Western grocery stores. The prices seem better than the close-by H-Mart, with many items being on significant sale. In this way, it reminded me of the Galleria Northridge that I used to go to: not too crowded, significant sales, and needing to pay attention so you don't buy something that has either expired or is close to expiring. Another unusual thing is that there were ladies handing out free samples of food throughout the store.One of the things we bought there was marinated raw crab. They only had the spicy variety (Yangnyeom Gejang for $5.99 per pound), not the soy sauce variety (Ganjang Gejang) which I prefer. It was well prepared, with all the outer limbs and guts being removed. My daughter and I tried it when we got home, and it was very good....no roe, but the meat was very sweet, a great balance to the spiciness of the sauce. Just be aware how messy it is to eat.Besides the grocery store inside, there are a variety of shops and eateries inside the building as well. There is also a small food court with seating, where you can grab a Korean meal if so desired.A R Supermarket is located right next to the A R Galleria, indoor mall. The mall has very few occupants, being similar to other indoor malls in LA's K-town. None of these malls have really recovered from Covid, I think. The one good thing is that because this mall is empty, people can use these parking spots in front to shop at the supermarket...thus parking was easy and stress-free on our visit.

A R Supermarket is a Korean market located in the Korean District in Garden Grove. My husband and I stopped by this market last Tuesday since we were in the general area. This market did surprise me. I shop at H Mart regularly and found that this market sold the majority of same items and also at similar prices and some items cheaper than H Mart. The meat section had plenty of thinly sliced meat for your hot pot needs and Korean barbecue needs. There is also a small option of banchan that you can pick up, although I will say that H Mart does have more in terms of variety. This market also has a food court and restrooms by the produce section. There are also some small stores that sell clothing, beauty products, etc by the entrance of the store, towards the produce section. The food court also has a bakery. There are some tables and chairs in the food court. But again as mentioned, the restroom is by the produce section, which is on the opposite side of the food court. I don't live by this area but I would definitely come back here again if in the area and also would visit the food court again.

Love this Korean market. The produce is fresh and the staff are very nice and helpful. I recommend their Kim bap, it is fresh and very affordable.

I love this supermarket. The bbq meat is always fresh and delicious. The deals on produce is packed with deals. The store has a good variety of items. Dated but clean.

This place was recommended to me for shabu / Bo 7 bon style and the guests all raved about it. The dinner was pricey and I know inflation had a lot to do with it. Some of the meats had freezer burn so be careful. I spent over $250 in meats for this dinner bash so I had to make sure everything was on point. I suggest digging deeper into the cooler and inspecting the meats, especially if you're paying these higher prices. Parking lot is spacious but can get busy on weekends. I didn't think their produce was that fresh. I would recommend going a few streets west to Green Farm off Magnolia.

Love this korean market. The produce is always fresh. Prepared foods are delicious.
