I'm writing this review against my better judgment because honestly I don't want this spot to get any more crowded than it already is. HK is one of those places I keep close to the chest. If you know you know. But here I am giving it 5 stars because they deserve it and I'd feel wrong not showing love to a spot that's been so consistent for me. Everything here is solid but the real pro tip is the fruit. I'm talking big, fresh, beautiful fruit that puts every other grocery store and market to shame. The quality is unmatched. Every single time I go the fruit looks like it was hand picked that morning. No bruised up sad looking produce, no half rotten stuff hiding at the bottom of the pile. Just perfect fruit, every visit. I already regret posting this. Please don't come here. But if you do, grab the fruit and thank me later. read more

I really enjoy coming here, I think the prices are actually pretty great. The warm corn they sell is my absolute favorite. The employees have always been very nice as well.. I cook a lot of Asian food so its nice to go and be able to find pretty much everything I need.. read more

Lovely fresh fish. Very nice ready made food. Great quality fruit & vegetables. Convenient free parking.

HK Market is one of the best markets in the entire world. It's both incredibly well stocked and extremely affordable - for lovers of Korean snacks, meats, and dry goods the prices-to-quality cannot be beat. Check out their ramen selection, dried squid snacks, and pork belly for some of my absolute favorites. read more

Security here sucks. Our cars license plate got stolen at this parking lot and we asked the security guard and he said it's not his responsibility. What is the security responsible for? read more

HK Market - Stolen license plate - International Grocery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My favorite no-frills Korean grocery store with great prices and variety. With an outdoor parking lot. The storefront may look a little dated on the outside, but they have great products for great prices. Their banchans and packed dishes are always well seasoned and affordable. But the star of the show here is their taiyaki and fried chicken station in the back of the store. Freshly made by Korean aunties. It's cash only! And sometimes there's a wait, but it's so worth it. Only $2 for a fresh taiyaki! You can't get a better deal than this. read more

HK Market is what you would find in Korea. I'm sure in Korea they have access to what the U.S. has so they copy it over here. Not enough English on the packaging. They have little restaurants off to the side and a huge fish market, which brings me there. They have great produce I'll give them that. However, their prices are 10% higher than Von's or Ralph's in the same neighbor hood. I'll close with if you're Korean then It's probably a go to place because the Korean language is saved there. And if you are Korean who understands both English and Korean then you'll fit right in. read more

The Korean ribs that are $15 a pound was almost all fat and bones. Look at picture below. Also, their employees that collect shopping carts make racists remarks towards the Korean shoppers and harass them with the carts. read more

HK Market - Almost all fat and bones for $15 a pound. WHERE'S THE BEEF??? - International Grocery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Let me preface this 5-star review by saying that it's a little biased. We were zipping up Western Ave on the way home from having some Korean BBQ and randomly decided to stop at HK Market because the parking lot looked big and convenient. We were inspired by our lunch and wanted some kimchee and Korean pastries for later. Long story short, when we got home I realized I didn't have my wallet! I took a leap of faith and decided to call the market. They answered promptly and after just a couple minutes of getting on the same page, they confirmed my wallet had been found!!! I drove back and they were so nice when they returned it to me. But even before that ordeal, I have to say that my experience there was really good. They had everything I was looking for. Plus, the cashier was actually friendly and welcoming despite me not being Korean. This market is definitely very local and no-frills. This ain't no big, national H-Mart. Still, don't judge a book by its cover. If you've ever been to a 99 Ranch or Seafood City, you'll comfortably navigate this place. If you do, you'll find all the Korean delights you could ever dream of. read more

HK Market is the OG market in K-town. Before H-Mart, Zion, California, Galleria market were around this place was it! Apparently they haven't renovated since the 80s and it shows! My mom said she use to bring me here when I was little. I don't remember that, but I do remember HK ( Han Kook) market in the early 2000s use to be open till 3am or 4am, but that's no longer the case. Now the market closes at 10 pm sharp. I prefer HK Market in the area because parking is better then the other Korean markets around, prices are better, great produce section with overall large product availability. Not to mention that there is a fried chicken grandma vendor in the back that does chicken right! I love her!! If you don't mind an outdated store, this market is great! Just remember this isn't H-Mart (which I love) it's an old school market in k-town and am so happy it's still around! read more

Right now, I was in the store and witnessed a crime! The salesperson is opening old food containers and repackaging them into new containers, putting today's date on them. I was really shocked! I'm going to write a report. They do this when there are few customers in the store. This is terrible! They can poison people!!!! Shame on the store owner!!! read more

I don't recommend for every-day grocery shopping. 1. More expensive than regular grocery stores, even for items that don't need to be imported. A jar of peanut butter or a loaf of bread will still run you like $6 each. 2. I would also stay away from any of the ice cream--they're usually old and freezer burned. I've even seen severely discolored pints, placed right next to ones that are the color they're supposed to be. I don't even know how that happens. 3. A lot of the canned goods are dusty and look like they're rarely changed out. It's great for speciality snacks and people who need specific items for their recipes. They have a great selection of ramen, fish, sauces and Korean ingredients. It's just not comparable to other grocery stores, if you're going for that purpose. read more

HK Market - The strange discolored ice creams at HK Market - International Grocery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We made a $23.00 dollar mistake today. Bought one small tub of fresh radish kimchi and one small tub of cabbage kimchi (on the recommendation of an acquaintance) - sadly the taste of HK's fresh kimchi is not good. We were so hoping for the taste we've grown accustomed to in Asia, but this kimchi was a big disappointment. Our search for a good store bought kimchi continues... Can't judge the overall market based on their kimchi taste and it's high kimchi prices. We'll give the place another try if we're in need of some specialized products. read more

Remember when we were kids growing up in LA together? HK Market was a BIG part of our childhood. Our friends taught us how to make homemade Korean food and sushi rolls so we could afford to eat the amazing meals that roll out of here daily. I have a picture somewhere of me as a teenager holding my first homemade platter of kimbap and California rolls while being hugged by my beloved foster sisters and neighbors originally from Japan and Korea. I want to thank the owners and staff members of HK market for being there for so many special occasions and homemade family meals over the years.:) After you enter the market, check out the flyers for Korean events and services adorning the bulletin board on your left. Korean small businesses and vendors, add your businesses and services on Yelp! Yelpers love to support the Asian community and small businesses! On your right, peruse the specialty vendors, hot and tasty treats, premier imported skin products and customer service. Continue to the eastern end of the market and grab a family-sized box of Korean pears, Hawaiian papaya, mangoes, persimmons, or whatever is on sale and in season. HK market has a huge fresh produce section with many hard-to-find items! Stock up on Thai chilies, Chinese celery, Japanese eggplant, Korean radishes, Vietnamese fresh herbs, fresh ube, Kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, taro root, mung bean sprouts, tumeric, shitaki mushrooms, shiso leaves, bitter melon, gai lan, and much more. This market has an excellent selection of meat, fish and poultry. You can buy an inexpensive whole fish, with more than a dozen varieties to choose from. Some favorites include silky chicken, softshell crabs, cuttlefish, paper thin cuts of beef, pork bellies, and whatever the friendly fish guys recommend to me. Thanks! High-end sushi-grade fish, roe, urchin, is available at the northwest corner of the market as well as small well-packaged ready-to-eat items. Some favorites include mung bean pancakes, pickled radish, seaweed salad, and cooked yam. Center aisles are loaded with non-perishable items. Instant, glass, rice, soba, buckwheat, and tapioca noodles. Jasmine, matcha, corn silk, barley, chrysanthemum and many other teas. Rice wine vinegar, rock sugar, banana sauce, wasabi, dried mushrooms, tapioca, potato and glutinous rice flour, nutritious breakfast porridges, sauces and condiments, you can find a nice variety of imported food from Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Korea, Japan, Indonesia, India, Taiwan, Guam, Singapore, China and beyond. When I was a kid, I absolutely loved sushi, but I couldn't afford to go to sushi restaurants. My neighbors and this market really helped me and my family during those tough times. We had some great meals together. During the pandemic, HK market delivered my favorite carts of food, including many sale items which I'll be forever grateful for. Recently, my HK market has been helping me make a special tribute to Monterey Park, 11 uniquely different varieties of Asian cuisines, made with love for our beloved Asian community. I posted some cool pictures of the food we made together from this market on Instagram. Many thanks to HK market for helping our families make great meals together. To the staff, the butchers, management, cashiers and fellow friendly family shoppers, I am one of your biggest fans.:) read more

This place is just amazing!!! I find all my Korean snacks. There's even a chicken wing spot in the back. Must go back!

AVOID FOODS FROM FREEZER. I bought 2 ice cream boxes- bars & cones. Both boxes had completed melted out of shape and refrozen. Also they were close to expiration and not edible. Where is quality control? What about other freezer products such as seafood or poultry if their freezer isn't working this way? Perhaps HK Market is counting on customers buying and not bothering to come back to return. Shame on them. read more

HK Market: A Friendly Korean Supermarket in LA HK Market stands out among the many Korean supermarkets in LA for its friendly atmosphere. From the warm, welcoming greeting upon entry to the helpful cashiers and baggers, the staff provides a pleasant shopping experience. This market offers a vast selection of Korean groceries, including house-made banchan (side dishes) - some with MSG and some without. They also have a well-stocked refrigerated section and a hot food section with prepared dishes like purple rice, fish cakes, and potato salad. For a sit-down meal, HK Market has one restaurant and a takeaway restaurant in the back which is cash only. One of the restaurants is serving hot stone soup, kimbap, among other things, and the takeaway spot, specializes in red bean pancakes, roasted sweet potatoes, and Korean fried chicken wings. With ample parking available, HK Market is a convenient destination for both grocery shopping and enjoying a delicious Korean meal. read more

I've been going here for years and i always find great stuff. Fresh fruits and the best cuts of oxtail! Reasonable prices and plenty of parking read more

Love this market. Clean and organized, not too many people. Easy parking. The staff is always restocking produce. If you haven't tried their marinated short ribs it's the best in town. You must grill it yourself. A bit pricey but worth it in my opinion. It's between $30 and $45 for a box. I always eat it with roasted potatoes and bell peppers. read more

Always stop her to shop for Korean groceries or new yummy things. The vegetable/fruit section is great and they always have a great variety of items that are fresh. The staff is super helpful and always can find what you are looking for. The lines for check out move pretty quickly so no issues there. Always a great time and finding something new each trip read more

The selections are good and the staff is helpful. The prepared salads are great. There's always parking available.

They are names after my initials. . Well ok that's not the only reason for the review. You really have to see it to believe it.

Wide variety of food. Mostly Korean, but also Asian in general. I've gotten my shrimp and branzino from here.

Great Asian grocery store with a lot of fresh veggies, pretty good seafood section, and incredibly narrow isles. If I lived nearby this would definitely be a go-to for me. As it is, unsure if it's worth the trek. read more

Cool market with lotsa of Korean/Asian items!! Came here after a hair cut and needed some items like Japanese mayo and Korean sides. They had almost everything I needed with the exception of eel sauce and imitation crab - although they had it frozen with mussels and clams. Still, overall a great store. Got a bunch of Korean sides - cucumber, kim chee and other pickled delights. Will definitely come back if I'm in the neighborhood! read more

I really like this market, it's convenient and they have a lot freeze dried veggies. The thing that sucks is that they don't except EBT. But they do have a bakery, not the best but it's better Paris baguette. Plenty of parking and there's a security that oversees the front. read more

Fantastic grocery selection with tons of fresh produce, impressive variety, and the best prices around. It's always clean and well organized with tons of parking and a couple security guards. I got some Taiyaki from the bakery in the back and it was fresh, hot and delicious. I've never ordered from the restaurant or the bakery in front, but their selection of banchan is amazing. read more

Been coming to this spot for good parking and certain items, for the past 25 years. HK market has certain Korean snacks and beverage that other Korean markets do not. Do not purchase Beef and Pork here. Also always check the Expiration Date on everything. I'd say HK Market is about 15%-20% more expensive than the other cleaner, newer Korean market that's about 4 blocks south of this establishment. 3 stars for their Cashiers at HK! read more

I stopped in here basically just to explore to see what the market was all about and what items were of interest and just kinda see what was available to me from the Asian Food. As typical very challenging to get any help in an Asian market secondary to language barriers. I thought the fish section was amazing. Saw some really good things that I definitely know I would want to purchase and cook. . I thought the produce was OK. It wasn't as bountiful as one would imagine but it's not the biggest Asian market in Los Angeles area but it definitely has what you would need. . Overall, I thought it was pretty cool . I picked up a few items non-perishable because I wasn't going back to the house right away . But I could definitely see myself coming over and getting some fish for dinner . read more

A great medium size Korean supermarket with parking right in front and, NOT located in any shopping complex -- which makes it very easy to go in and out and finish what you need. Because it's not as well-known as some of the other markets, it's not as crowded. I recommend their produce department: GREAT selections and great prices as well, Also like their kimchi selections, many varieties and reasonable prices again. Was not super impressed by the meat department or the cooked food department. Thought prices were a bit high and selections were a few, but maybe that's because the production level is lower during the COVID-19 pandemic. Will definitely come back again. read more

HK Market - Great selections of different types of kimchi. - International Grocery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Medium size market with alot of FREE parking. Cheapest to-go sashimi cuts $14-$17 (usually $24+ at California Market plaza). Cheaper fresh produce. There is an area in back selling ready to eat baked yams $5+ for small tray, red bean pancakes shaped as a fish $1.25+, chicken wings $6-$17. They have deals and specials here. Takes credit card. Most Korean markets are pretty difficult or crazy packed. This probably is the semi easiest one to park, get stuff and leave with a car. read more

This is my go to place for fresh vegetables. The quality and price are second only to the farmers market. If you have been getting mushrooms anywhere else, please stop! This is also where I get sushi grade fish and roe for crazy good prices. There's a huge selection of pantry ingredients that of course, lean Korean. Inlove the ramen selection and there are many gems in the frozen food section. read more

What a cute market! They have everything you need when it comes to Asian cuisine, from kimchi to fresh fish, to cheap and fresh produce...they have everything you need! The grocery store is well organized and easy to find what you need. The employees are also very helpful if you have a question. While the produce is cheap, some of the specialty items can get a little pricy. I would love to do my everyday grocery shopping here, but items like orange juice can easily be marked up to $6-7, so I still find myself making a run to Aldi or Walmart for those basic items. There is plenty of free parking which is a life saver! The parking lot and store is never packed too. Sometimes it's steady, but it's relatively quiet and a calm environment which is a blessing when you are grocery shopping and if you want to take your time exploring all of these amazing foods. There is fresh hot food you can buy to eat right away, but I have not tried it yet, but it is available! I would definitely recommend this place. It is lovely! read more

What can I say that others haven't said. So many goodies. It's my Korean grocery store spot. The prices are right and food is tight! I needed ingredients to make kimchi fried rice and HK Market came through. Best of all they accept Apple Pay, which is a lifesaver because I wasn't carrying cash and my credit card's chip is busted as fuck so I needed an alternative to pay. For anyone who's curious, my kimchi fried rice turned out to be the Bombay dot com, thanks to HK of course. read more

We just ate nearby and needed to go grocery shopping so we decided to stop by here. H K Market is very clean with a variety of Korean products for a good price. They're more affordable than HMart when comparing the same products available at both stores. H K Market also has mini storefronts where they sell food or beauty products. There are plenty of parking spaces outside as well. read more

My review is for the hk chicken stand in the back of this market. First of all this market and stand in the back has been around FOREVER. I've been coming here ever since I was a child with my mom and I'm so happy it's still around now. The stand in the back is primarily for korean fried chicken, plain with sweet/spicy sauce given on the side. It's soo good!! Probably one of the OG and best chicken spots. They do not offer marinated korean chicken but the sauce is on the side and just as good. The ladies behind the counter are so sweet and they always give plenty of pickled radish with the chicken (it's a MUST with korean fried chicken!!) I'd also recommend their boong uh bbang- which is a cooked pastry? In the shape of a fish, with red bean inside. They make all this on the spot and it's definitely a childhood favorite. 5/5 go try their chicken and red bean pastry!! * cash only. read more

For some reason this market doesn't receive the same hype as other Korean grocery stores, which is an advantage during COVID as one can shop there at prime time on a Saturday morning and not be grinding elbows with a dozen Ummas all at once. As well, the entrance is to the open-air, spacious parking lot (hi ventilation!). The produce section has a nicely curated selection of mushrooms at economical prices (which is why I come here) and the usual range of Asian produce. I also browse for pre-packaged Korean brand frozen dumplings which are BOMB! A good market to invest in quality soy sauce and sesame oil. Also, a wide selection of prepared seasoning sauces and spice vats (gojujang!), dried seaweed, and noodle types are available. The best aisle is the far one, with fresh fish, and store-prepared ban chan, pickles, and side dishes. I bought their store-brand kimchi, spiced squid and peanuts, pickled serrano (on a richter spice scale of 10, it's 11), and seaweed. I followed an Umma's lead and picked up their reasonably priced prepared Kim Bap. The lunch I had with my fixings put a smile on my face! This market is my go-to for all Korean groceries! read more

Solid place definitely worth checking out. Always good vibes plus the workers and even customers are helpful with product you might not be knowledgeable on which is a bless. I'd say 10/10 market read more

It's a good-sized Korean market with a pretty good restaurant inside. I was able to find everything to make Kimchi and the staples of Korean cooking. The pricing on things like green onions is incredible compared to Ralph's. I wasn't treated poorly by the staff if I need help translating. Also, a pretty good-sized park lot in front. read more
