My new favorite place in Tempe. - service is stellar! The workers are so kind and welcoming ! I was looking for bathrooms and they immediately gave me access to theirs. - their kimpap was awesome! They seem to have a wonderful selection of my favorite korean products be it food or skin care - the ambiance was authentic and welcoming without being overwhelming read more

BUSAN MART!!!! For what you can get around Arizona, I think Busan Mart is great for the experience. First of all, this is a convenience store that somewhat simulates how some convenience stores are in Asia. You will get all your Asian goodies and snacks here, hang out with a friend or by yourself! You can grab instant ramen and cook it in the store, while grabbing some iced tea/juice and hot foods like spam musubi, cheese balls, taiyaki, kimbap, etc. Their hot foods seem to be super popular though because the 2x I've visited, they didn't have many options to choose from and thought having fried chicken would be a great addition, but it looks like they do offer it but have missed it every time. What I find particularly great about this place is the fact that you can actually dress up your instant ramen. In their refrigerated section, you can grab green onion, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese and a boiled egg! You can also grab bonchon in this store so if you're looking for bonchon to pair with your KBBQ at home, this place offers it! This place also offers coffee but haven't ordered it yet! I'm excited to swing by again to try! Love stopping by here whenever I'm in town and highly recommend a visit to this place solely for the experience. read more

The overall store is very nice and clean! Staff are super friendly and helpful! There is a wide selection of food and drinks available! I ordered the coconut matcha and I personally found this drink to be a bit on the sweeter side. The coconut taste is a bit strong. If I were to order this again, I would make adjustments to the amount of syrup/sweetener used. The drink is also a bit grainy for my tastes as the matcha was blended instead of traditionally whisked. read more

Busan Mart - Coconut Matcha - Convenience Stores Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Super cute k- pop mart nestled in the apartment complex neighborhood. Great selection of instant ramen , complete with quick cook induction machines. A variety of hot to hot food like goyoza , musabi, and eggrolls . As well as a small take out menu. Food was ok for something quick , the bagged drinks with ice were fun , the selection of chips were tasty. They also had the novelty peach and mango ice cream in a case by the door . Overall very kawaii- like environment , good selection , clean and worth stopping in if your in the shopping area , but I don't know that for the hassle of the traffic and parking I would go out of my way to shop there read more

I would describe Busan Mart as a convenience store with a coffee shop, with a happy vibe! Not only were there various eats and drinks to choose from, there was also opportunity to indulge in your purchases at the tables provided. With microwaves to warm up your food and available "gumball-like machines" to buy cool trinkets, it's a store worth returning to!

Small convenience store, lots of options and I really loved that they had a hot water station to eat noodles there. I was kind of expecting more items or more variety. Lots of different noodles and drinks to try. read more

Cute little place. Convenience store with a Korean flair. Lots of choices of ramen. I would have loved to investigate the frozen section more (I saw ice cream) but I wasn't going home right after so I couldn't. Big beverage selection as well. Service was good. H llo when I entered, and kind and knowledgeable when I was checking out. If you are close check it out! read more

This place is so cute, clean, and fun! It's not that big of a location, but they do have a lot of goodies. Huge cold drink section with every flavor under the sun of anything you could think of. Several aisles of ramen and other snack bags of chips, cookies, you name it. They even have bigger bottles of Korean/Japanese alcoholic drinks on the back wall. They don't just have food, but like actual convenience stores, they even sell travel-size products to quickly pick up. The prices aren't the best (what convenience stores are nowadays?) but they have a great selection and if you and your friends came here wanting to make and eat some ramen, this is definitely the place to do so. They also had pre-made kimbap for I think a reasonable price for how fresh it looks. Speaking of fresh, this store is so clean - very much appreciated that. I will definitely be back to try out their ramen making station; I shouldn't have come right after eating (dang!) read more

If you're in the mood to try something new or even get some Korean beauty this is the spot for you. Located right by the beautiful Culdesac Tempe Apartment complex its adorned by beautiful string lights around it and lots of other cute local shops The store is full of unique snacks, food and trinkets you would only find at an Asian grocery store My main reason for coming was the hyped up Buldak ramen that has gone viral everywhere. I was sooooo excited to give it a try when I saw it here!! They had literally every flavor you can think of The staff was sweet and polite. The store was clean and decorated adorably! I'll be back for more ramen As for a convenience store 10/10 on pricing as well! read more

Took my son here because he enjoys trying Korean snacks and I also do them post that they had spam masubi, which is one of my favs. We went in on Labor Day shortly after they opened. The girl at the front greeted us and was nice. She chatted with me a bit. The store is big and very clean. We got a few different items. We were mostly intrigued by their drinks. We were also looking for the Korean version of some of the snacks like Kit Kats and stuff but they didn't have any. We'll definitely be stopping in again. read more

Cute convenience store with a variety of Asian snacks, drinks and food. Today I decided to try some of the hot food and kimbop. The spam masubi was okay. I'd pass on the cream filled fish shaped taiyaki; it was hard and chewy. I'd recommend the freshly made kind instead. The kimbop and the pot stickers were probably the best eats there. Service was good, the employees were friendly and welcoming. Plenty of parking. It wasn't too busy. read more

Great shopping experience! Shop is always clean and well organized. Would come again!

Ts was delectable, very nice ambience and the ramen they had was excellent. Nice selection, and the service was nice

Love that this convenience store opens til 11pm!! Everything I bought was fire considering it was all prepackaged goodies! Highly recommend getting the Oden and tuna mayo kimbap, squid salad, and spam musubi!!! Such a great, cute little store if u're wanting a quick variety of grab n go Asian fix!! All kimbap rolls are 50% off from 9pm til close, or until they're sold out daily!! read more

Great store if you're looking for Korean foods and plenty of Korean snacks. It's designed more as a convenience store to grab anything like ramen to drinks and the viral ice cups for your Korean drinks. Very cool place to satisfy your Korea cravings. read more

Out of all places, I definitely was not expecting to find a Korean convenience store in Arizona. This place is so cute and lives up to the kdramas. They have lots of ramen, snacks, drinks, hot food items, and kimbap. It was so fun to cook the ramen in the bowl on the self serve station. You know I had to get the best drink ever, banana milk! @cravingswithcat read more

I love the concept and a lot of the items they sell. I bought a mango drink along with some other snacks. The only thing I wish is that they had more products stocked on the shelfs. Overrall, I'd give this place a 8/10. read more

This is a in and out, small Korean grocery store. I went here after seeing online, that they were in this, old location of the 711 which closed, and I decided to grab a few items. The cashier was nice and the store is clean and convenient if you're looking for a snack. I ended up purchasing din din (aka dinner) in a bag. The meal kits are perfect if you're, not into turning on the oven and if you want something light to eat. They have the cute indoor slippers but some of yall will wear them outdoors... no judgement here There's plenty of parking and this is easy to locate. read more

Bulgogi bimbimbap is good! Would come again. Want to try ramen in store. Wish there was bigger selection of fresh ready food.

An underrated gem in Tempe. It's like a Japanese 7-11 but Korean and it's not 24 hours. If you like H-Mart you'll love this place. You can make any ramen here at the hot dispensers and they have toppings like cheese or green onion. So many niche drinks and snacks to choose from. Great alcohol selection. The cashiers are friendly too! read more

Food was awesome the Nutella fish is an absolute must try. They have a make your own ramen station which I loved they had a huge variety of options. It's a great mini date spot and the staff were so nice and considerate. It's a great place for younger people and lots of nick naks. read more

Convenience Store Fact: "The first convenience store began in 1927. The Southland Ice Company was a store in Dallas, Texas. When its owner realized that people often needed to buy staples, like eggs, milk, or bread, late at night when the grocery stores were already closed, he decided to sell these items at his store and stay open late. It was a massive success, considering it later became the first 7-Eleven, which now has thousands of convenience stores everywhere." ― finklinpharmacy.com/ Now Busan Mart is great! For a convenience store, it has everything you could possibly want. I enjoy being able to stop in for some kimbap to fuel up before running errands for the day. Wash it down with banana milk, or the superior coffee milk, and you'll be even happier. They also have some cool items at the counter like skincare. I totally got sucked into picking up some skincare products I never heard of just because it was sitting there. Are the prices higher? Sure --- you pay for convenience. Do they have a decent selection for a convenience store? Yes! Will you be able to find more selection with better prices at an actual grocery store? Duh. But this is a convenience store and not a grocery store so keep that in mind when you stop by Busan Mart. read more

What a neat convenience store. It was cool seeing this place getting renovated. Are you paying a higher price for items you can get at the grocery store? Of course. You pay for convenience. I don't mind dropping a few more nickles if I can grab a kimbap and coffee milk and be on my way. Get your ramyun, snacks, tubs of kimchi, et cetera. They have a small selection of everything you might need in your every day life. Stop by Busan mart. It's worth browsing read more

Busan Mart - Kimbap and Spam musubi. - Convenience Stores Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I love Busan Mart because I got to experience making ramen in a market as well as getting the pouch drinks I'd only seen online. There is so much to choose from within store and deli. read more

This place had so much potential!! I think it's cool they want to recreate the vibe of convenience stores in Korea. It could be bustling with adults after work or children after school, chilling and eating ramen on their counter but obviously the vibe and culture is different here. Asia is filled with stores like this on every corner but the difference is most ppl take public transportation or walk...they're also known to be super affordable. Here, people can easily drive somewhere more affordable. With that said, of course a place like this would cost more, plus there's inflation. So if you rather go to H Mart then go! This is place is here for those who might be conveniently in the area and might want some snacks without caring too much about price. I tried their kimbap and the spam, egg, and cheese hits the spot! Yummy and unhealthy haha. Also tried their oden kimbap and really wish it had more fishcake, it was mostly veggies. Hope they have more items for their grand opening. read more

fyi their soft opening hours are till 8pm. It's nice to see all these businesses open in the East Valley especially a Korean convenience store. I won't state the obvious here but expect to pay the "convenience store premium". Currently they have a nice variety of alcohol, ramyun, and snacks. I'm excited to see what other items they will carry besides snacks in the future. I expect this place to be a go-to stop for banchan and lunch boxes for quick eats. The owner is kind and I look forward to seeing their fully stocked inventory soon. read more

Cool Korean market in Tempe. They have some korean products that we don't really get to find from near by big Korean markets. They have a food court looking space, and apparently it looks like you can buy food and eat it there. This place is pretty new, so I see some empty shelves. I'm excited to see how this place gets filled with cool K-products! read more

I love the Gyoza here, it is delicious. Just similar to other Sushi and Japanese food I have eaten before. First time here at the little Gem, and I was impressed with the food. They had a good selection of other foods, but I didn't find them interesting in taste as I did Nice staff, cool place. I was a happy camper. read more

Get all your K-convenience store foods and needs here at Busan Mart! If you're looking for a quick meal or need some Korean sourced snacks or drinks this is your place. They also have non food items that you'd also find at a convenience store, such as cutlery, chopsticks and cleaning supplies. I came here mainly because of the hot foods and kimbap area, although their selection of banchan does look quite good if I need to stock up on a few varieties. They have several types of kimbap ranging in price from $5.50-10+ and are made fresh. The kimbap is available until 9 PM. The hot foods consist of items such as musubi, gyoza, steamed white rice and sesame balls. The musubi and kimbap have been decent and the price is very reasonable. Pricing on other goods is hit or miss. With some of the products for sale the price is insanely high ($26+ for a medium sized canister of instant Folger's Choice) while the Asian branded items are about on par with other Asian grocery stores. Service has been fast and friendly. Go here to fill up on quick kimbap, musubi or banchan and leave satisfied! read more

A little pricey, but what do you expect from a Korean convenience store in the middle of AZ? I'm sure it costs a pretty penny to bring some of this product in. The staff wasn't super attentive, but what made up for that was the nice seating area where you could enjoy your instant meals in store. The food was good! They offer instant meals and some Kimbap near the register. I will definitely be trying that next time around. Worth checking out! read more

I wish I hadn't bought the Kimpap Sushi Rolls. They're disgusting. The Tuna Roll was made with canned chunk tuna that smelled fishy and tasted like cat food. The Crabby Roll was a mouthful of slimy Kewpie mayonnaise. Cute store and I might come back, but would never order their food again. read more

Great options if you're looking for Korean instant ramen and some frozen treats. I've been to all three in Phoenix and while this one wasn't my favorite for available options, it had the same basic instant noodle/ramen finds and ready made or to go options as the others. read more

Love how convenient it is, there's a microwave, a water boiler, seating area, lots of ramen. No bathroom tho

Busan Mart is probably very convenient for college kids in the area. They have lot of instant food; some prepared food like kimbap, eggrolls, and some Korean side dishes. Prices are higher than you'd find in regular Korean grocery store. It's quick in and out if you don't want to browse through or fight the crowds at big stores like Hmart or Asiana. We found a new to us item there, black soybean natto. It's not as good as the original but still decent. Always fun to try new things. Enjoy! read more
