Our Guestbook
“ i've been a patron at the asian market since my childhood. i have many fond memories of coming here with my cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings, & parents for their legendary kimbap & kimchi. it's a timeless, affordable classic & i hope they stay in business forever! we ordered 30 kimbaps & they were ready within 20 minutes of us placing our order. i inhaled 2 right away & ate another on the drive home (we live 4+ hours away). i also appreciated the other asian goods for any asian cuisine needs! ”
“ I had come awhile back when they were filming "Unexpected Business" and while it looked a bit different then, I was able to come again to get the famous $2 kimbap. Though there were none in the bin up front, when I asked the cashier, he brought me freshly made kimbap from the back that were still warm! Very simple ingredients, but super tasty! Also for $2 it's a steal! Store was well stocked with items and freshly made banchans as well. ”
“ I work across the street and my boss finally convinced me to check this place out! Wide selection of authentic Asian snacks and foods, but the main reason I came was to try their kimbap my coworkers always rave about, and it did not disappoint! This place is my new go to for lunch. The owners are incredibly nice! Check it out if you're in the area. ”
“ One of the best Asian/Korean markets in the Monterey area. Although they aren't as big as an H-mart, they carry almost every Korean cuisine essentials. I also prefer the kimbap and japchae to other Korean grocers! So good! If you're in the area or thought about stopping by, I'd def recommend that you check them out. ”
“ Market is very small and doesn't have a lot but for the most part, you can find basic items here. If I am in a hurry, it works. The kimbap is good too but they run out fast so call early. The older gentleman in the front is super kind and amazing. Honestly, I would go just for him haha. If you're expecting H-Mart, you will be disappointed. This place is more of a mom&pop type of store. If you're expecting what you seen on the Korean show, you will be even more disappointed because it isn't like that at all (there is no side restaurant). BUT it's better than nothing. ”
“ My neighbor always cooks authentic Korean food and recommended this market to pick up ingredients for us to replicate the dishes she has made us in the past. This market is on the smaller side but had everything we needed to make the dish we had in mind. Service was friendly and helpful when asked questions. I was enticed by the fresh Kim-bap rolls at the front counter but resisted to save my appetite for dinner. I'll certainly be back when I'm in need of particular ingredients and next time I'll grab a Kim-bap. ”
“ Stopped by on a bike ride for a perfect mid ride pick-me-up that I can even eat while on the go! Seasoned well and flavorful rice/pickled vegetables. Definitely coming back if not just for the kimbaps. Casual and friendly service, answered my questions about if they stocked a certain type of hand cut noodle (which they do!). Note: they accept card and Apple Pay, but cash only if under $5.00 ”
“ I love coming here for my Asian treats! The service is always casual if you need help ask and they will help you. Sometimes I'll go in and let them know what I want to make and they help out more letting you know what to use and how to use it etc.... The ambiance is always great clean organized and easy to find stuff.. parking can be tricky but usually always find parking ”
