We're not usually into this type of food, but we do like Dubai chocolate so we thought it would be…read morecheaper to make some ourselves rather than pay $20 for a bar at Nom Nom Stop. Came in and yes, they have Kataifi and tahini paste, but they did not have the pistachio butter. We grabbed what we could as we admired all the lavosh bread near the cashier. On our way out the door, we saw they had labne. Sis grabbed some and the shop owner saw her delight and recommended another brand which she was happy to also purchase. It's a small ethnic store, not a gigantic T&T or anything, but I love stores like this because they have enough of what they need for the clientele they serve. We will definitely return for more of that labne.

I came here to grab something quick to eat as I had to fast for an appointment nearby. They had a…read moreclearance section right in front and I grabbed a few cup ramens cause I would have those for my lunches at work. The store is kinda organized but also not as much as H-mart. I was short on time so I was trying to find everything I needed and I learned that they have prepared foods in the top left corner of the store. They had japchae, gimbap, fish patties, and much more. I grabbed some frozen seafood soup and a drink. The store is brightly lit and clean for the most part. The service here is friendly and polite. It was cool that they had a drawstring bag as their bag. Although if you have weird shaped products then it isn't the most comfortable if you have to walk around with it. But a fantastic store with any needs for Korean or other Asian goodies at a good price!

They have lots of Asian food options, housewares and there is a separate ready made banchan/dishes that you pay separately I did not try. There's an attached bakery and the baked goods looked delicious. My daughter got all her essential Korean ingredients and the prices were good. It's clean, not too tight in the aisles and so much variety! Check it out

The front bakery is always my kiddos favorite since they were in Korea. If you happen to go to the middle of the super market and see the booth selling taitaki (fish shape of snacks), please do stop by. His taiyaki is the best so far I have in Washington state. It seems pricy, but size-wise, it is worthy to get because of the quality. Over all, if we miss Korean food, this is the place we always stop by to satisfy our tummies.

East Asia Market on South 38th Street in Tacoma has plenty of parking, but the outside and entrance…read moredon't look very welcoming. Some items are left on the floor, so the layout feels a little cluttered at first. But once you get to the meat section, I usually see fresh cuts, including oxtail and some items that are hard to find elsewhere. The vegetables are generally fresh too, and they carry a decent selection of fresh seafood. Service has been friendly when I've asked for help. It's not a perfect store, but for finding specific ingredients, I'll keep coming back.

Really good selection especially in the seafood department. They had a pound of live clams for only…read more$4.00. Produce was a great price too, cucumbers 3 for a dollar and lemons 25 cents. Plus staff were very friendly. The negatives were two-fold first the whole store had a distinct old seafood smell, which makes sense because the entire meat department was just fish of all variety on ice. How ever the smell made me question if we would get sick, so despite the incredible prices I passed on the clams. The other negative was that things seemed like they had no time or reason to where they were placed. Like they had the clams in the seafood department, but then also had them in the frozen department. There was an isle that had a variety of cooking oils, next to spaghetti noodles, next to cookies. I don't mind that, but I'd do see how others who have left reviews could be confused.

The shelves are not full by far, the products are not a huge variety, and the products are not all high-end quality. They have a seafood deli (Kim Chee bar) and this is probably their most impressive section of their store. Everyone here is very nice, but again, new small store. I think with enough support, this place could be great. Provide input to the management for suggestions of products they should consider carrying. If you cannot find anything you want here, H-Mart and Paldo World in only five minutes up the street. Give these guys a shot and support our local community!

A first timer to this Korean Supermarket!! Found it online, on TikTok, of all places. Saw the…read moreadvertisement and reviews, so wanted to check it out. The store and parking lot are small. But inviting. Their specialties are the Korean Banchan (Sidedishes). All Homemade, with a variety of choices. Got there around 11:00 AM on Saturday, 5/03/25. There was nobody inside the store, so maneuvering the cart around the aisles was easy as well as browsing around. Definitely bought some Korean Kimbap, Sidedishes and Spicy Jerky. Prices were a bit on the higher side than other Asian grocery stores, though. The elderly couple who runs the store were very amicable and polite. We received excellent customer service. Talked to him a little bit in Korean as well.

As a Filipino who has family that makes restaurant quality food, he is picky with his food but he said the flavors here are pretty close to how his family cooks it. I am always on the hunt for good kare kare and I saw they serve it so I was already super excited to go. We arrived around 1ish pm and we were able to find parking and enter inside where we saw three tables occupied with happy customers enjoying their meals. They have small tables and large tables, but definitely plan ahead as most of these tables seat 2-4 people. They have a section at the left end of the order area where you drop off dirty dishes in bins as well as a condiments section. They were playing some American pop songs that were remixed but it fit the vibe of the place. Additionally, they do have a grocery side which I definitely want to check out next time I'm there. We were greeted warmly by the owner who was cheerful and patient with us. My boyfriend got their longganisa and lumpia and he was asked if he wanted adobo sauce on his rice which I thought was neat! Now, here is where my complaints from as I was not offered the same treatment on my rice, told that they aren't serving kare kare, they don't have labels for the food at front, and some of the food was cold. I got the pork sinigang and dinakdakan which was pretty good and flavorful. They do have pastries, desserts and other offerings as well. It seemed like there are many regulars who come often as the owner would recognize and have friendly conversations with them. He also bid us farewell when we left while he was taking a quick lunch break, and I thought that was really sweet.

Wait time was about 10-15 min. It was another busy Sunday morning. For 3 orders of breakfast it came up to about $78!! A pricey breakfast!!! Should've gone to Denny's....but we were craving rice and real food. Family friendly. Ample seating as long as people are courteous to leave as soon as they are done eating. This time it was quite smoky in there.

And they had exactly what I needed for my recipe, a lot come in a pack so I ended up with a lot of left overs which worked out for my family.
