This morning, I went to the market early and was looking for a specific cut of meat. I noticed a…read moreshort, older Korean man with gray hair standing by the meat section, so I asked him about the pork cut I wanted. I felt a wave of fear as if he might hit me. He told me they don't sell that cut here and suggested another one instead. I was considering buying the cut he mentioned, so I asked if the two cuts tasted very different. Then he trembled his lips and angrily said, "I told you, we don't have that here! Don't talk about things we don't sell!" His eyes were filled with anger. I can't tell if he has anger management issues or feels inadequate, but if he's going to treat customers like that, he should just stay inside and cut meat! His glaring eyes completely ruined my morning.I really hope they provide better training for their staff. Just because he's older, does he think he can treat customers poorly? Is this the only Korean Market in LA?

Used to frequently buy while living in LA but lately come by only have business and errands. Times hqve changed and the owner went greedy. For few months have observed the weekly specials on Korean site and visited the market. Found the items on sale, mostly children's cookies and snacks, refrigerated items like Korean sausages made from pork, bean pastes, etc are either expired or near expiration. From kimchi to side dishes, they are gross. Used to have Korean middle aged women doing the food prep and cooking but now it is all non-Koreans doing the "Three Stooges" act behind the counter. No help, no assistance, useless. Making a disgrace to Korean food. Not that the place looks any cleaner. No wonder the business is better at California Market even though typically it is a buck or two more. Meat, seafood, produce, and prepared food are better quality, the items are better displayed and looks cleaner.

The people there seem to enjoy their job and it shows. They get to you fast and your seafood is packed great. We also have eaten there and had the best ceviche and some salmon. It was perfect. We usually just buy there and they have an great selection and sometimes they have things that they don't normally have, so go there often. We took home a pound of chopped King Crab, and I think this time we bought lobster cakes. I am not sure, we have had them, but we have also had crab cakes there. They have drinks and a few nice tables for eating. It is just a fantastic place and you will love it.

Great spot if you love cooking seafood at home.

Long Time Customer Experience I've been coming here for…read moreyears. This is the spot my family has always trusted for fresh chicken. When I was younger, you could actually see the chickens in the back (everything was blocked from view, but you'd hear the machines). Now everything is closed off, but the chicken still tastes fresh and the quality seems the same. My mom swears it's the best chicken you can get. Product Quality & Variety I mostly buy the chicken, but they sell other meats and products too. I've seen duck eggs, regular eggs, and different cuts of meat. Even though I haven't tried their beef, everything looks fresh. Prices can be a little on the higher side, but the quality makes up for it. Food Service Service is always quick and straightforward. You tell them what you want, they get it fast, and you're out. There's usually only one or two people ahead of me, and only during holidays does it really get packed. They accept Apple Pay, cash, and EBT, which is super convenient. Hours & Convenience The only downside is the early closing hours usually around 5 p.m., and Sundays/Mondays even earlier at 1:30 p.m. Also, parking is rough. It's hard to find a spot, so we usually go in pairs: one person gets down, the other loops around the block. Ambiance It's a small, traditional Hispanic-style meat and poultry market. Everyone there speaks both English and Spanish, and it has that classic, butcher shop feel. It's clean, simple, and focused on the meat...nothing fancy, but familiar and efficient. Overall Fresh chicken, fast service, friendly staff, and long time trust from my family. Parking and early closing hours are the only real issues. But for quality, this is still our go-to spot.

As we are looking around I see that one of the workers (an older lady) was following us. I would assume she was going to ask us if we needed anything but she didn't. She just looked at what we were grabbing and assuming we were going to steal? The whole interaction was uncomfortable especially my mom being there.

Buying abalone at H Mart is so convenient because they offer a cleaning and cutting service. When My Mom bought it back in February, they did a great job cleaning it and even included the innards--and of course, they mentioned the service was free. However, when we went back this past Saturday, April 4th, and asked for the same service, the staff initially told me there would be an extra charge. When I mentioned that I hadn't been charged last time, they checked with a colleague and confirmed that the cleaning & cutting service is indeed free. Unfortunately, the person who handled it this time threw away all the innards. My mom was quite disappointed because she says the innards are essential for the best flavor. Despite that, I still appreciate how clean and well-prepared the abalone is there. All of the fishes, too. Also, the roasted sweet potatoes they sell are so tasty.

We hosted a friend's birthday at our place, and she wanted Korean BBQ. To make our lives easier, we…read moredecided to order delivery and heard about Seoul Good KBBQ (fka Choice Meat Market). For the price and quality, we were very happy with how everything tasted. A good general rule is to order a lb per person (we had 6 people and got 8 lbs which ended up being more than enough). We had their brisket, kkotsal (flower short rib) which had amazing marbling, thin and thick cut pork belly. They also had some extras that saved us a grocery run like rice paper, radish wrap, brisket sauce, garlic/jalapeños with ssamjang, and green onion salad. They deliver on Tuesdays/Thursdays in OC so keep that in mind (and deliver to other parts too, just check their website). You can get free delivery if you spend $200 or more. The birthday girl was happy, and we know Seoul Good KBBQ definitely helped with that!
