We've got to stop by KP each time after our Naturwood trip to get some great Korean and Japanese food and home supplies. They have the best Korean ramen selection (my lunch option during this Telework era), seasonings, and gloves (fat arms need jumbo kitchen gloves)! We also got the mochi, bread, gimbap, japchae, and various kimchi each trip. Love it there! If only they open one in Elk Grove! read more

Great selection of veg and fish. Abundant parking. I'd love to see some more organic vegetables. There is no place like this market. read more

This review is for their food court. KP Food court is known for their Korean food but my son gets his beef pho here! They use real beef bones to make their broth the best in town. They also add a generous amount of assorted cuts of beef. read more

We often come here since they have suck a large variety of produce and Asian food items. The prices are not bad. We love the different fruits and vegetables. They often have so many that they just throw them in the bins so a lot of the items get bruised and damage. I guess they have so much bulk and go through so much stuff they don't really care about getting the stuff bruised. As you can see in the photos there is a lot of different produce. Crazy amount and if you're looking for something Asian or unique I am sure they have it in stock. read more

Best place to go shopping for authentic Is Asian, Hispanic and East Asian foods. I love the wide variety of choices when shopping. There are many varieties of vegetables, Breads , meats and fresh seafood. In addition there is a huge food court with your choice of Japanese, Hispanic, Vietnamese, Chinese even Russian. If your shopping there and plan to shop often get a card to retain points so that you can use towards purchases later. You can get discounts at the food court towards purchases. In the food court there is a Boba place too! If you're in a hurry they have ready made food (sushi, sweet potato noodles with mushroom and veggies.) I try and get exotic fruit that is in season to try. A one stop shop for purchases that would cost a lot at Safeway or Raleys. read more

I visited Korean Plaza for the first time today, and while I was excited about the large selection and variety of products, my experience at checkout was extremely disappointing. The store itself is spacious and offers a great range of items, and I really appreciated the friendly staff member who was stocking fruits--he was very kind and helpful. However, my experience at the checkout ruined my visit. I waited in line as usual, but when it was my turn, the cashier gave me a rude look and just stared at me for about 30 seconds before angrily asking if I was blind and if I couldn't see that it was a "15 items or less" line. I was shocked by his attitude, especially because the sign was only visible at his register--not from where customers line up. I politely explained that it was my first time at the store and that I hadn't seen the sign, but instead of handling the situation professionally, he rudely decided to check out other customers before me. When he finally rang up my items, he refused to check out my sisters, who were with me and had been waiting in line as well. They were forced to go to another register and wait an additional 30 minutes to check out. To make things worse, when I got home, I found that the cashier had removed my meat from the bag, causing one of the packages to rip and leak all over my groceries. The same thing happened to my sister with the fish she purchased. This was a very disappointing experience. I was excited to shop here, but the rude treatment and lack of care for customers' groceries left a really bad impression. I hope the management addresses this issue because no one should be treated like this. read more

This is my go to grocery store with cheap produce and a ton of items I can't find at my local grocery store. I especially love the Japanese bakery and food court. read more

This is the place we normally go grocery shopping any time of the day and any day of the week. It has all the Asian groceries my family need, asides from the fresh produce and meats. It also has a fresh bake section, a liquor shop, jewelry, and beauty supplies. If the time inside the store has got your grumblies in the tummies, there's a food court serving international food with a lot of seating space, and a sit-in Korean barbecue. The plaza is now a far cry from the small grocery store it started out with... The grocery is very clean. The stocks are always replenished throughout the day. Or if there is an item you need that has gone out, you can always ask the staff who I have always found to be very helpful! There are a lot of items in store for different nationalities. You have to come here to experience what Koreana Plaza offers inside its walls! read more

Koreana Plaza - Almost empty because of Covid-19... - Grocery Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

Need to give neutral as i didn't shop there. Went in, excited that there was an Asian grocery. But it v was mixed. Seems too be a catch all for Filipinol, Chinese, Korean, Jpnse, Thai etc, plus a European side for groceries. On the Asian side, groceries seen to be mainstream items ( i was hoping to get some junk food but the korean and Jpnse were light). My expectations are too high from SF Bay Area, but i can see myself appreciaring this as a local resident....another meh moment was the ambience:Dark and industrial. A positove is the bakery (Filipino?) and food court. read more

A lot of products to choose from all in one place. My go to place to buy things that I can not find in my smaller city. read more

If you need an ingredient for just about any international cuisine, chances are it will be here. This place is EXTENSIVE! I imagine they must have just about anything you could possibly need. The challenge is becoming acclimated enough to be able to find it! I've recently begun a lot of Korean cooking and this has been the go to place not only for ingredients that I can't find at my local grocery store, but also serving ware, dishes, and cutlery. Be prepared to spend hours in this place. It is huge like a Costco and time will easily escape you once you enter. There is a food court attached that has Chinese, Mexican, Japanese and Korean fare. Haven't tried any yet, but I often see a lot of customers happily noshing. Some reviews have complained about prices not being particularly cheap, or food being close to spoiling.... but I would argue that I don't come to this grocery store for a deal but rather to find less mainstream items that I need. Also, be a diligent customer and read expiration dates and inspect your produce well before you buy. In a place this huge, you do have to be more conscious of the lack of roll over on perishable goods (I have this same challenge with Costco). read more

Love this place, great piece of Korea in Sac! Great prices and selection. I go often for Korean bbq to cook at home!

My go to for my Asian groceries. Bak Choy, chow fun, Malay Briyani mix, papaya, otogi instant curry powder, Chinese fried rice seasoning, shrimps (on sale 71 pieces for 4.99) and... It's cheaper to go here to get some taste of Hawaii. Guava shortbread for 3.99. I say if you want inexpensive vegetables, meat and your country fix, go here. Their cafeteria is awesome for ready made food. read more

Really neat international store suggested by a friend! Produce is awesome cheap, and I think we'll be coming back. The London broil and chicken thighs come at great prices too! Had great meals with those cuts! read more

Best place to pick up refrigerated (not dry) Ramen noodles with soup base to make at home. All you need is to get fresh sliced BBQ pork & a little fresh veges. You'll be surprised how good it can be...can be expensive too.... read more

I have been going to Koreana since it opened in Rancho Cordova. Over the years my husband and I have learned to expect the occasional over ripe vegetable or fruit and sometimes meat that has gone bad. But two days ago we hit the wall of unexceptable rottenness. We had moldy butter, a sealed bag of rotten plums, and two hard but gray avocados. We are done. Never going back. read more

WARNING: DO NOT SHOP HERE. Bought a couple drinks to drink inside the food court here. Then me and my wife took our drinks back into the grocery to drink while shopping and as we where paying for our groceries the Mexican lady at checkout criticized/ accused us of not paying for the drinks because I told them I didn't need a receipt earlier for 2 dollars worth of drinks. She accused us multiple times of stealing the drinks as we were buying groceries. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I NEVER NEVER will be back. read more

One of my fav giant Asian markets around! Bad thing for me is they are in Rancho Cordova and a 25 mile hike each way for me. They have all the Asian goods you want, Russian and Indian/Middle Eastern too. UNREAL. This place has it all. I have compared and they have some of the best veggie prices in Sac. area. However, it is so crowded it is hard to shop the veg. area due to the small size of it. I usually leave my cart and walk to each veggie and then return to my cart. Less intelligent creatures just push their carts and play bumper cars with them. To each there own. Teehee! Anyways, great seafood area. They will fry it for you while you wait. They have samples to try like Costco/Sam's. Like Udon or potstickers...yum! I have not purchased Russian or Indian goods other than basmati rice since when you go there after Asian goods, if you peruse all the Russian/Indian goods you will be there ALL DAY. Seriously, this place is massive. I have to plan a time to check out the Russian stuff. They have a Russian meat counter also. Super cool. Ok this place has a food court (very high priced), Korean BBQ rest., Karaoke and nightclub spot, boba drinks and a Korean skincare store. Amazing destination spot. They want to make it a one stop with so many stores you can shop there. My wife and daughter like the Skincare shop. I love the udon, dry noodles, ramen, meat, seafood, veggies, kimchee in a big jar and Asian goodies in the grocery. They ran an article in the Sac Bee when this opened like 5+ years ago and he wanted to cater to not just Asian but Russian too as Rancho C. has a lot of melting pot of these cultures in the same area. I think he is killing it. This massive place is busy all the time. I'd rather come in the evening. Weekends are crazy! read more

Karaoke rooms are great! Pool, darts and great bartenders. Food is ok, bar food nothing super special.

Love this market. Everything you need and didn't know you wanted to try is here. It's like take a trip around the world. Food is 10/10 service 10/10 and the store is huge and full of surprises. Ambiance 8/10 read more

Moving from Bay Area to Sacramento, not many Korean stores to compare but KP carries all the essentials you'll need and more since the store has a great international variety, So you get more out of your one trip to the grocery store, one thing I Wish is that they had more fresh Hot pot ingredients (like Hmart chain). I usually do not buy Vegetables from Asian stores as they can be a hit or miss but each time here we have found that they are clean and mostly fresh and cheaper than other places. Have to make sure you walk down all the Isles because they Usually have great Deals . Nori is always cheaper here than at Costco . The food court is great, fair prices, fast and DELICIOUS. I usually am very disappointed by most restaurants Kimchi Jigae but this food court one is AMAZING, very flavorful and bold and full depth of ingredients just how Mom would make it. Also Vending machine Bottled water only 50 cents ! Store offers cleaning wipes/ hand hygiene products at entry and in food court. Cleanliness is key, thanks KP read more

I found this market since I moved to the Sacramento area. It has the best Asian food selection in the area. I do miss the hot food selection from Bay Area from the local H Mart. I wish KP will have more selection other than their kimbap and jeons. The staff are very helpful when you ask for their help. They have best beef selections outside of Costco. read more

Oh my god. If you can forgive the occasionally rude security guard upfront, this is the mecca of asian and european foods, and the absolute holy grail of food source for beef meat and produce. NOWHERE ELSE in Sacramento can you find such good quality, INEXPENSIVE A.F. prices on beef meat. This is also THE place to find your chinese eggplant, peeled garlic cloves, THAI BASIL (yaaaas girl, make that Thai Eggplant Basil Stir-Fry, your own!) , Avocados that are often on some amazing sales, really good store-made kim chi, inexpensive marinades of Bulgogi... and that is not even counting the food court (which boasts THE BEST deal on Bimibap. If you love Bimibap, you MUST try the Bimibap from the food court). This place has a HUGE confectionary area. Imported candies from Russia, Ukraine, Lebanon (a few, not a ton but a few) , even Turkey. This place has everything you could ever want, out of ONE shopping trip. If you love to cook lots of beef, you MUST come here. read more

Great place to get produce, great international market.

Believe me I love to support local businesses but it's so hard when their prices are so high. I take advantage of this store whenever I am in town. I can buy anything from Persian spices to my Filipino spices. They carry Korean, Japanese, Russian, Indian, Mexican, South American and American (im sure im missing some) food items. Their veggies, fruit and herbs are always fresh! You can't beat their prices either on their produce. I'm pretty boring when I buy...Japanese eggplant, Thai basil, bok choy, onions, and curry leaves. Today I picked up Hawaiian yams and Japanese potatoes? Never seen them before so I thought I would try them out. I fellow shopper explain to me on how to pick them out. Thanks gurl! Everyone who works in this store are always helpful and friendly. A lot of their items are in a different language. read more

Great place for shopping for ethnic groceries! Big selection from Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, to Hispanic, and Russian foods. Decent size produce section..... Aisles are clean and good spacing.... They have another section of fresh meats and seafoods.... Some stuff you will only see at places like this.... Stuff I will NEVER try!!! Stay tuned for my photos.... If you want the real authentic meats to cook this is the place.... From pork bellies to pork blood, to black goat, to live frogs... They have it here. Come check this supermarket out because you will see things you never would think you can cook with. Also, They just opened an international food court which I am curious about. They have a wide variety of Korean foods to Japanese. Lastly, Place is cleaner than 99 ranch and SF market, employees seem nicer and speak more English.... read more

The most diverse asian shopping market I've ever been too. I'm not talking about how they have Russian, Indian, Filipino, Vietnamese, and other asian products but I'm talking about their employees! Diversity at its finest and I love it ! They cater to everyone and anyone . There's even a tortilla station where you can get freshly made tortillas from this machine. Their food court is super international too, hence the name ;) read more

I really like this store, but recently I have had negative experiences with them. Usually the produce is wonderful, however, recently I purchased some napa cabbage to make kimchi and discovered live worms inside. This made me suspect of other produce. Now I check everything more carefully. I finally decided to buy whole fish and have their fishmonger prepare it for me. I bought two Branzinos and asked for them to remove the guts, head and tail, then fillet the fish. When I brought my fish home and unpackaged my fish I found the worst job filleting possible. It honestly looked like he simply chopped the fish up. The full spine and all the bones were still in the meat. My fish was no good the cook as fillets, so I just made fish stock from it. I will never trust their fishmongers again. read more

This place is huge with aisles and aisles of products. Found a section with products from Hawaii and also found some Korean clay pots and ceramic bowls. I asked one of their workers about an item and lady had no idea on the product and just walked away ..hey now. Where is the Natto??? hmmm another person looked at me and said what is that? ummm okay. You can find veggies here , baked goods, freshly made tortillas and a bento take out. walked down the Ramen aisle and sauces so much choices. It's great to browse and buy a lunch cause they do have a seating area with umbrellas hmmm it's indoors lol read more

I like the idea of this place because it has all the Asian groceries I need and also has Nature Republic and restaurants. However, everytime I come here, every employee in the grocery section has been INCREDIBLY rude. So I only come here if I'm in the area and it's convenient. One specific incident, my three year old was looking into the water fountain. He reached out to try to touch the water and I told him no. As he was pulling his hand back, the security guard roughly grabbed his arm and shook him. I reiterate, my son did NOT touch the water and was already pulling his hand away and then got SHAKEN by the security guard. We complained with the manager who reviewed the security cameras for us for proof. They were great and apologized, but still, my son left with a bruise around his bicep from the guard. Not only that, but pretty much all employees here are rude with the exception of maybe one behind the bakery counter. But that's rare as every other employee behind that counter is also abrupt or discourteous. My advice is that if you must come here, come prepared to get exactly what you need to get in and out as quickly as possible. Also, as other reviewers have stated, don't visit the boba tea/ice cream shop as the quality is disappointing with your drink either wrong, forgotten, or not mixed. read more

Have to give this place kudos. They are extremely strict with Covid rules. Not allowed in without a mask (strictly enforced). They provide gloves and hand sanitizer. Plus lot of cheap vegetables and fruits. Ordinary and exotic. Plus a great place to get Korean, Asian, other international foods. Prices are so cheap as well. Great beer selection too. We always make the drive from sac to rancho cordova to shop at Koreana. read more

The newly remodeled supermarket is awesome! It's huge and has a wide selection of ethnic foods available. It is definitely cleaner than those asian supermarkets on Stockton Blvd. These are the top reasons why I like them so much: 1. Russian bakery - great prices and delicious snacks. The pastries are flaky and perfect. I've had the spinach&cheese, feta cheese, beef, and hot dog&cheese. All delicious! The cake slices are new to me. Different only because I've never really had Russian cakes before, but good so far. (see pics) 2. Korean deli 3. Fresh-made tortillas with clear windows where you can watch them make it 4. Mexican ice cream freezer by the cashier 5. Variety (Asian, Mex, Russian, American all in one place) read more
