The market had a huge selection of merchandise from Japanese snacks and beverages to grocery items, housewares, beauty products as well as some special and unique items. We were able to spend a fair bit of time walking the aisles looking over items we don't usually get a chance to see too often in Las Vegas. I really enjoyed how many options there were and the overall feel of the store. Visiting the store was a great way to end our time in Little Tokyo and we actually picked up a couple of items to bring along on our travels! Marukai Market is definitely worth stopping by while visiting the neighborhood! There are so many different Japanese snack foods. If you need to do some grocery shopping as well in the area for your hotel stay or are looking for something new to check out, this is a great place to stop by!

You have the option to get a tea set with Korean snacks or have a more traditional cafe experience. I was probably the first to come in so I was personally served by the store owner. After serving the almond croissant and berry matcha I ordered, he came by the table to have me sample his bread. Thoughtful service just makes me melt! The almond croissant was larger than a typical cafe pastry. And though the drink was on the smaller side, the cream and berry mixture make up for it. The quality of the matcha isn't too bad either. A lovely spot to get some work done or just have a relaxing tea with family or friends. I'd definitely go back!

They are now on 8th and Serrano, a block away from Zion Market. They have a lot of free parking in their garage. This store is huge like a warehouse with a ton of home goods, specifically geared to Korean cooking. I specifically was looking for Makgeolli supplies to hold a tasting when my friends come into town next month. I was happy they had supplies like the cups & pots for less money than they are sold on Amazon. I was happy they had different sizes and styles at various price points. I was able to find exactly what I needed and it was a very successful trip! If you have questions, it is much better to speak Korean although not necessary. Staff is very friendly and willing to help! My friend and I were also warmly greeted when we entered. Aside from cooking and kitchen items, Home Shopping World actually does have a very large selection of food items, plus skin care & cosmetics! I'll definitely be back for more shopping in the future.

She especially loves it because they carry so many useful household items and Korean food products. We bought several things that day, and the staff there were especially kind and helpful, which made the experience even better. I bought a pair of indoor slippers to wear at home, and they were very considerate and let me try them on before buying them. I really appreciate their kindness.

We went at night on a weekday and it was relatively empty and surprisingly some parking. Could be a nice spot to study. Would come back to try their other sweet treats. The atmosphere is pretty cute as well!

Ambiance is calm and peaceful and cute decor fills the place, starting with three big ole bear dolls sitting on a swing on the front window display. Would come back just to try more flavors! We got oreo, biscoff, hershey's chocolate, and blueberry cookies. They are just the right sweet, not too sweet and still flavorful. It's what makes the cookie eatable in bulk I say! Also got the Americano, it's very light which I love. The straw is a pink heart shape, so soo cute.

Watching the rolled…read moreice cream being made right in front of us was such a fun experience, and the presentation was just as good as the taste. The ice cream was incredibly creamy, fresh, and not overly sweet, which made every bite enjoyable. There were plenty of toppings and flavors to choose from, so it was easy to customize exactly what we wanted. The place was cute and cozy. I got the strawberry rolled rice cream and it was pretty good. It was cute and was kind of pricey. But definitely worth it. The staff was friendly, patient, and made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a unique dessert that's as fun to watch as it is to eat, I highly recommend checking out Holy Roly!

However when I stopped by recently I was informed by the staff that it would take almost half an hour because they only had one functional machine. 30 minutes for ice cream!!

The staff also seemed to be in a constant rush and looked very overwhelmed, I almost felt bad for ordering..

Order from a menu of reimagined classics and Asian-leaning premium coffee beverages; while waiting, browse the bodega-inspired collection of wines and upscale pantry staples. Nowadays, Open Market is hailed as one of the premier sandwich purveyors in the city (including a limited-edition special each Friday), and each ambitious offering is named for one of LA's most iconic streets. Open Market is tucked away in the ground floor of a brutalist Koreatown skyscraper. The colorful storefront is pressed back past the mostly shaded courtyard. Inside, the whitewashed walls are complimented by lightwood accents. A mismatched lineup of framed, offbeat artwork runs the length of the wall of the right. To the left, the carefully curated shelves feel like half exhibit, half for-sale. Countless hand-drawn sandwich specials, each doodled onto a brown paper bag, loop around the space. Order from the semi-open kitchen in the far back. Dim accent light and soft lo-fi music lend the space a moody vibe. A friend and I visited Open Market for weekday lunch, and tables were evenly split between coffee-fueled MacBook-wielders and ravenous sandwich eaters. We faced a moderate queue -- our food took about 30 minutes to be prepared. Between our two sandwiches, the consensus favorite was the Normandie (Open Market's ambitious mashup of Yoshinoya and Philipe's French dip). The decadent melty provolone, thinly sliced brisket, and sharp mustard mayo each offered familiar a familiar embrace, while the addition of pickled radish and semi-sweet au jus created an eyebrow-raising dynamic. But the top-seller Thai- and Vietnamese-inspired Olympic sandwich was no slouch, either. The mint-forward flavor and crispy textures far surpassed my expectations of what a grilled chicken sandwich could achieve. Some of the other options are less exciting. The Beverly features a juicy chicken thigh with crispy breading, but ultimately was just an elevated fried chicken sando. Meanwhile, the Kenmore is highlighted by crisp pickled radish and burdock rather than the subdued tuna salad. The sandwiches run ~$20 each (after tax/tip), and service is mostly transactional. Despite the wait, Open Market at its best ranks among the most ambitious and delicious sandwiches that I have enjoyed in recent memory. I'll be back specifically to get the crave-worthy Normandie again.
