They had the best music playing! Google says "Feel Good" by fromis_9 and "Dream Girls" by I.O.I. Gonna throw a dance party when we get home!

Being one of the very few Korean grocery stores in the east bay, it's well worth the trip. With a security guarded parking lot, and a home/kitchen store right Nextdoor, they have everything you'd need; plus even when busy, lines never get too bad. I specifically come here for any kitchen supplies, the prepared Banchan and other dishes, along with what I call "Korean Spam" I had discovered a few years back. This stuff is TOP TIER for processed luncheon meat, you have to try it. It's healthier, more flavorful, and gets crispier than spam without drying out!

I got rib eye steaks kgs . There were two in each pk and around $6.50-$8.00 , chicken thighs with 8 huge prices cleaned and freak Frozen for under $4.00;a pkg and they have braded popcorn shrimp for under $5.00! They have deals like this Everyday

Box of yellow mangos I bought not even a week ago in this condition. And these cheap employees wouldn't give me a refund or exchange either I bet. Cause I tried with another fruit and they claimed I hate half of it when that was not even the case with this fruit . I hope if someone from the store reads this I get my refund. Never ever buying their fruits again.

I shop here maybe once a month to pick up ready-made bits and Asian/Filipino ingredients, especially produce. Selection is decent for Filipino cuisine. Clean and with friendly staff. It's my local Asian grocery store!The parking lot is a bonus. Although the lot can get a little crazy, there's usually a nice security guard or two who help to move it along.

This is my local go-to Korean grocery store. We don't have any H-Marts around this part of the East Bay but this market has been a staple for years and years. Pricier than a Chinatown grocery store, but excellent selection, the market itself is very clean and organized. Huge plus that it has its own parking lot (even though it's small). The security guard in the parking lot is also nice for peace of mind.

OK, so for the East Bay Area there are few choices for a Korean/Asian market and some older people feel like they need to be afraid to drive into Oakland. But they would be missing out on a GREAT ASIAN MARKET.Not only is there Korean food items for purchase but lots of other ethnicities will be happy to find stuff they crave, and people who like Asian snacks will be happy.Some things seem a dollar or two pricier than in Los Angeles, but this market has lots of deals that can work for you.Frozen meats and fish and fresh, plenty of vegetables and wow tons of mushrooms! If you have an elderly Asian parent who can't drive far, treat them to a visit here.It has its own parking lot and nice security people, the staff is friendly and will answer questions. I'm pretty sure if you speak English, Korean or Spanish you won't have any problems finding anything.The store is super clean and everything is laid out neatly and they seem to take great pains to make sure all the produce looks orderly and perfect.

The perfect Korean grocery store!! Always weekly deals on interested new products to try, and I've found some yummy favorite snacks from it (like the sweet Korean pancake mixes and pho packs) I've been coming here for years, and their selection of Asian and western groceries is always plentiful with reasonable prices. The staff is also always diligent and helpful I also recommend their beauty and houseware annex -- really good home essentials. Very comforting place to be (:

Love coming here to get Korean groceries and fresh fish. I also pick up my usual box of Jin's ramen. The seasoned pork, chicken, and beef make an easy stir fry Sunday night dinner with white steamed rice and veggies. The separate warehouse for cosmetics and household goods is also where I picked up my moisture sleeping pack.

This place does not take mobile payments. Has a good selection of Asian food.

Gotta love KP!! Been shopping for more than 12 years! You can tell by all the photos I posted on Yelp over the years! Best Korean market in the East bay! Follow me on IG: Ssindyeats for tons of BayArea eats, travel and even cooking Korean food!

Great selection and prices. Fresh fish smelled fresh. Only place I could buy fresh Spanish Mackeral without special ordering and paying a lot more. Customer service excellent too. They took back the big jar of kimchee that was dry and tasteless without any question. Plus gave me some tips on making my own kimchee.
