Korean Market &amp; BBQ

This seems like a nice Walmart and has a really nice parking lot. I'm a Target girl but there's no…read moreTarget in this town, nor anywhere near. This store is gonna be my go-to all-in-one place. We moved to Ridgecrest 5 days ago and have been to Walmart 3-4 times already because they have so many of the items we need for ourselves or our pets. Walmart's shelves are never as "zoned" as I'd like them to be but with how many items they sell, maybe that's asking for the impossible. Our favorite cashier is Candy (blue specs and lovely attitude). She has made us feel welcomed each time. I think this may be the nicest Walmart I have ever experienced.

This is a huge Walmart, but I was disappointed after I came out with my purchase. I was looking at…read morebread, but there wasn't any prices on them. They did have a sticker price on the shelf, but when I paid for it, it was at least a dollar or two more than what it said. Very deceitful.

Their Starbucks makes proper good drinks and the partners are always professional. The cashiers have always been cordial, too. The other day I absentmindedly left something of value behind at the self-checkout and didn't realize it until I was out of town. I called them and they were like, "Yeah, we have it." I was amazed because it was something that could have easily been stolen. I showed up later to pick it up and they were so nice. I have nothing but good things to say about this store.

That was an immediate red flag to me. When I asked how returns would be handled without a receipt, she said I could take a picture of the register screen. It seems unethical to operate like this. Can no one go get some paper? Seems very disorganized and unprofessional. Besides that, I usually enjoy shopping here. Just avoid the apples in bags-- they're always so banged up.

Their attitude was either comply or get out all these employees need to get retrained, and they will be reported to adult potential services for discrimination and abuse of power!

Seems like a nice, family-owned market carrying Asian comfort foods you can find at the Albertson's or Stater Brothers along China Lake.

For some reason, I don´t know why this amazing place is not popular. I have been eating to this place for several years now and I just decided to use yelp to review establishments about my experience with them and I am surprised why this place has few reviews. It is important to give credit when credit is due. Their barbecue is extremely delicious. The sauce is one but the meat is so tender and tasty! The shop is desirable but I am reviewing about their food. I will give 4/5 stars because their kim was not good as I had expected in my standards. Wishing they could improve it! read more

I order more than I can eat because I like checking things out. I really love how they deep fry things. The oil tastes fresh, and the batter is light the way I'd expect. The meat is very good quality (we had shrimp, chicken, and beef). No gristle. Things were well cut up. Well, not the shrimp. But I digress. And I did enjoy the sushi. It took a bit of back and forth to verify that the tuna was maguro and not toro. I also had unagi and a few others, but I can't remember now. I appreciate the portion size. It's large compared to what I get up here in Silicon Valley, and the prices are quite reasonable considering how fresh the ingredients are. I haven't checked out the bathroom yet but the rest of the restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. My only grumble is that the hot sake is not hot. It's slightly warmer than room temp. So that's not fun.

They also offer bars with a rasberry filling added to it which is very unique. Even their white chocolate Dubai bar has the rasberry filling. My wife loves their white chocolate Dubai bars. Now these bars are harder to bite into and overly crunchy, yet they are refrigerated bars. They won't melt in your hand the minute you walk out the store as they do with Delicious Obessions. Delicious Obsessions does not refrigerate their Dubai Chocolate bars, but their kenufa filling is smoother. So Mediterranean Flavors and Delicious Obsessions are in a neck to neck tie as they both have unique differences with their Dubai Chocolates. So personal preferences are up to you.
