Wooltari - Irvine

If you're looking for specialty Korean food items you've come to the right spot. Parking is a bit challenging at times but it's worth the wait. The store is pretty small but they have an extensive frozen food section. I was drawn to this place for the spicy frozen crab which was affordable, easy to put together and delicious. Service is interesting, they follow you around giving you a personal interactive experience about anything you might be looking for. All in all, worth checking out.

We are lucky to live in a state in the USA where we have Zion, H Mart, and now the most famous Wooltari Mall of LA, Torrance and now in Irvine! If you are not a KOREAN or a fan of the new wave of truly fantastic and authentic Korean cuisine, stop reading this review now!!!! Once you enter this hidden mall, you are entering a new fifth dimension of entirely new world made up of the utmost highest quality of goods only available in South Korea right this moment. You are transformed immediately into the Basement Shopping Center of KangNam Hyundai BackHwaJeom. (Probably the most famous department store In Seoul equivalent to Herod's of London or Southcoast Plaza or Niemann Marcus) Nowhere in the USA can you truly find some of these items all with the highest quality. Probably the best stuffs that I've ever seen anywhere. Actually you can't find them in Zion or H Market or anywhere else in that matter. Please, don't go if you are not experienced or interested in highest quality Korean Cuisine!

So glad they opened up the Irvine location. I used to go to La Habra/Buena Park location to get the goods and now, I don't have to drive so far.This location is very clean and well organized.All the items are displayed neatly so that you can easily see and pick out the items.This is a Korean specialty grocery shop. They provide higher premium quality (which means higher price) products from Korea.I picked up the bag of dried baby octopus, dried ecklonia cava sheet (sorta like the dried seaweed), & some traditional Korean snacks called Jeonbyong.Yes, you can go to a Korean market for similar stuff and pay less. But once you taste the difference in quality, you will be willing to spend a little more.***once you enter the entrance is inside the far right corner next to the animal hospital

Love love love. If you're looking for high end imported food from Korea, definitely swing by and check this place out. The ladies are super sweet and often provide discounts or a little extra somethin' if you buy a good amount. I also order my kimchi from here in 5/10 pound increments. You can order it bulk and split with family and friends. The kimchi is made in Korea and I think it tastes better than the ones they sell at the market. Enjoy!!

I love this place. This is our second time and they offer variety of food items that you can't find in Hmart or Zion market. Quality and taste is different.

A lot of good local items imported from Korea! I got myself the mugwort rice cake, so good.

Good selection of products from Korea. The 1 star is for the horrible service on Friday 5/21/2024. The lady that worked the closing shift that day clearly was very upset that I called the store close to 7 PM. I didn't want to hold them for long right before their closing, but the lady on the phone had an inappropriate tone of voice and gave no effort to answer my question. I'm planning to avoid days when she works there - Fridays. There are two ladies that rotate their shifts at the store and the other lady who does NOT work on Fridays is very pleasant and helpful. I find myself filling up the shopping cart when she's at the store.

Poor customer service. If you aren't aware of the sale, they'll charge regular price. I wouldn't recommend shopping here.

Terrible quality frozen food that is rotten and at ridiculously expensive price. I spent $250 worth of food based on their in-app review and found out how awful its quality is. I will never order from them again.
