The bulgogi and bi bbn bop was delicious. There was enough left for a second meal. Service was pick up at window but they were friendly and helpful. The small restaurant is in a Korean market with only 6 to 8 tables. But we always find a table. In the market they have good kimchi and tofu. read more

Omg this was my first time here and I loved it everything was soooo delicious I will def be coming back read more

Seoul Asian Market - International Grocery Near Me - Pharr, Texas

In the rear side of a giant plaza. The Seoul asian market was the only one I have found locally. It looks like a misc. Store selling everything. At least, I was able to get the stuffs I needed to make asian dishes. When there is no other choices, this will have to do. It gets a 3 out of 5. read more

Just got the classic boba tea.... Thought it would taste great...ice was already melted by the time I got it... took a sip ... all I tasted was flavored water!!!! I don't think they even added milk? Disappointed!! read more

I took my little family to check out this store after having a hectic day. We walked around the store innocently and grabbed a couple of snacks. On the way to check out, after they charged us our snacks, they threw in this back scrubber demanding that we pay for it because my 6 year old held it in her hands.. I said no, and they insisted the manager "saw" her grab it off the shelf. I agreed to pay due to the unnecessary embarrassment they were causing while the line was held up behind us. We did not see the manager as he or she was hiding away like a coward. Do not shop here. I would give 0 stars if I could. The experience was terrible. Side note: my children are very well behaved and never get into any trouble everywhere we go. They are very rude and MAKE u pay for extra items. Nowhere in the store does it say not to touch anything or you will have to pay. Terrible store. Terrible manager. read more

This is my go-to-go favorite place for all the kind of snacks they have there and different things you can find and buy. I just love the moment you walk inside, the service greets you with a welcoming "hello" and they're playing kpop. read more

We finally got to try their hot food and it was yummy! I had the bibimbop with beef and it was super delicious. I forced myself to save some for the next day and it was just as enjoyable then. E had the spicy pork bulgogi and it was really tasty too. It wasn't really spicy though, but still had a great flavor. He doesn't care for the sides, so I borrowed his sides for my meal. We also ordered the pot stickers. They were deep-fried as opposed to pan-fried, but I thought the flavor was fine. E doesn't like vegetables and thought they were "too vegetabley." With Covid the food was only available for take-out, but was carefully packaged and survived the 45-minute trip back home. We look forward to eating there again! read more

Can't speak for the market side as I stopped here for the cafe side. Glad to have found this place on Yelp to satisfy my craving for Korean food in the Valley. Menus are at the cashier - simply walk in and order/pay and have a seat. Loved the Korean music videos playing on the tv for entertainment. Once you pickup you food, return your tray and enjoy some time shopping for some Asian essentials if needed. Would definitely stop here again to try some of the other items on the menu. Clean and prompt service. read more

The food came out hot, delicious, and fast. The service was decent. The cashiers were helpful, and the ambiance was clean and casual. read more

Seoul Asian Market - two bowls of food and a can of soda - International Grocery Near Me - Pharr, Texas

Always slaps I can shop for my favorites groceries and also pick up some lunch ! There aren't many Asian markets in the valley but this has to be one of the best because it provides such a large variety of products! read more

They got some of the harder to find products that the two other Asian markets don't have like prepackaged minced garlic and ginger, but they rotate through a lot of different products. Sometimes, they'll have it, then the following week, its gone. It's a good way to get exposed to a variety of products though and they probably have the best Korean selection in the valley read more

I always go shopping for groceries here but this is the first time I order food from the restaurant. Ya'll this food is AMAZING. The Ttukbokki Spicy Rice cake is a MUST! You need to try this. It's so good. I got that and Bulgogi Fried Rice which ended up being perfect for two people. We shared both dishes. I got the Udon Noodle Soup to try it out and the flavors are so fresh, just be careful let it sit before eating because it is boiling hot! Lol. We also tried fried beef and pork dumplings. The sauce smelled so spicy but it wasn't spicy at all. I'll drive all the way to McAllen just to eat here read more

Some of the best Korean food you will eat in the valley and the portions are HUGEEEEE

Tried their spicy pork bulgogi and the ttukbokki. Both tasted very good. Their Ttukbokki isn't too spicy with a good flavor balancing sweet and spicy. The market is decently stocked so they do a good job of meeting your Asian groceries and Asian food craving needs. read more

Seoul Asian Market - Ttukbokki Spicy Rice cake - International Grocery Near Me - Pharr, Texas

This is one of my favorite lunch spots. The atmosphere is great. My favorite meal is the Bulgogi. The meat has so much flavor. Greatly seasoned, and safe for those who are not fond of spicy food. The noodles are very good too. I love spicy food, so I ask for extra spicy. The side dishes are all tasty. The building is divided into the eating area and the market so you can enjoy a snack after your meal. read more

Seoul Asian Market - Bulgogi - International Grocery Near Me - Pharr, Texas

I ordered tteokbokki today because I like theirs better than the other Korean restaurants in McAllen. It usually has decent amount of rice cake. Sadly, what I got today has mostly kimchi and very few peices of rice cake. For me, it is not worth the price. I wish they will put more rice cakes next time. But it was still yummy. read more

So glad that this decent Korean market is finally open! I like how this place is very neat and clean. They don't carry complete list of Korean grocery items, but you can find the basic ones. read more

I was trying to find Chipotle....and I came across this diamond! Grocery store has a restaurant in it that's closed on Tuesdays. Luckily I came on a Thursday. I had the bulgogi plate that comes with rice and sides. Recommend this place. You order at the cashiers. Menu is small but definitely coming back. read more

I love this place!! The food was delicious!! Friendly staff and even better food. If you are looking for authentic Asian food, this is it. Highly recommend read more

Seoul Asian Market - International Grocery Near Me - Pharr, Texas

I really enjoyed Seoul Asian Market. There are a few Korean places in town, but somehow this place seems less intimidating to those who are new to Korean food. It is more like a grocery store cafe. In fact you order at the grocery register and then pick up your order at the window. Upon first entering you notice that there are actually Korean people eating there. Good sign. The menu is fairly limited featuring just a few staples. Sometime I want to try the ramen, which is only $5. I'm sure it is based from prepackaged, but honestly I've never had any ramen worth the $13 they like to charge at other places. For drinks you can buy any beverage in the grocery store, and while they don't offer desserts at the cafe, you can pick up some Asian cookies or sweets in the grocery. My wife and I really enjoyed the meal. It is a break from the same old same old valley restaurants. Go give it a try. Even if you have never had Korean food there is nothing here that will be too weird. And the staff is friendly to give suggestions. read more

Even though I don't live here, I'm so happy to find this place!!!! TT visiting from California, specifically San Gabriel valley. I'm so used to walking down the street from my house and getting asian food or snacks. Anyways.. The guy was so nice. I couldn't find the tteokbokki snack and asked.. he has it. Omg. So happy haha. The people working were very nice even though my mom and I were in their way lmao. Thank you for opening in McAllen!!! TT read more

I love this market and cafe & am super excited that this place is in Pharr! It is a definite gem & much appreciated to have something different in this area. This is definitely comfort food for Asians. Most of the patrons and diners were Asian so you know it's good! Of course there were some who weren't (such as my hubby) and enjoyed it equally as much which brought a smile to my face! The only downside for me was there isn't much seating and can get a bit cramped. We went after the lunch rush around 1:30 and all the tables were occupied so we paid for our meal at the register and since there were no open tables we decided to look around the market. However, there is no wait list for tables even if you get there before someone else. A couple came in after us and snagged a table before we could get to it so we had to wait longer for another table to leave and we felt kinda weird just standing there looking at all of them so we wouldn't miss our chance to sit again (hence 4 stars and not 5). The food takes a little bit of time but, it's worth it as it's made fresh to order (and since we didn't have a table right away I didn't mind). I don't think I would come on my lunch break though. You can see all the cooks bustling around getting it done & then serve you with huge friendly smiles. I recommend getting the dolsot bibimbop vs the regular one cause the hot stone bowl gives your rice a nice crispy texture (just make sure to stir often so it doesn't overcook it). All in all looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes as well as shopping! read more

Sooooo good! If this place wasn't so far from my home, I would come here almost every week! Really enjoy the spicy pork!!

Stopped by and was surprised to see how empty it was. Cashier didn't greet us, kinda just stared off into space. There wasn't a lot of people in but the time we're in today I guess that's a good thing. Options were few which was disappointing because it being more Korean, I would think they would have more beauty products and food options...especially snacks. The food looked ok but way too over priced. 5.99 for a small dish of japchae? Nah. Again, maybe it's our situation today but probably would come back in a better time frame. It is in a popular area so I would think it was pretty popular before all this mess happened. read more

The food was bomb. Compared to all of the other korean places in the valley, this one is the best bang for your buck. The service is great too and the food was great. I got the spicy bulgogi and it came with a lot if sides! I also like how its near the grocery, its very convenient and you honestly can't go wrong with it. 10/10 would recommend read more

Recommended by a co worked as me and my family just moved to the valley from Vegas , we had been missing the variety of food we had back home and this place hit the spot, generous servings, we even took home leftovers, so flavorful and such nice customer service. The market had a great variety of groceries and they were so friendly and helpful, i will be coming back read more

Great customer service and amazing food selection from the cafe. I enjoyed shopping while I waited for my food.

This store is a lifesaver! When I moved to mcallen from cali last year it was extremely difficult to adjust. Tokyo market did not have much of a variety so I was making trips to cali, and san antonio to buy groceries. Now that seoul market is here my life is complete! They have almost everything you need, and if you request a particular item, they actually get it for you! read more

I love this Korean market!!!!!! I absolutely loved the service. The staff was so friendly and helpful. It's a great place in the valley to go shopping for some authentic Asian food and products. read more

My daughter really loves this place! One time I took her the and she really wanted the soda drink with the marble!

The rice cakes are my favorite thing to get plus the prices are good and the store is very organized!! Love it

Super friendly staff ! Henry and his staff spent time explaining to me about this area and helped me get oriented to McAllen. This is a life saver for me coming from SF Bay Area. It's small and no items are on sale but it's got everything I need. Good variety of selections! Dear owners, Thank you for opening the store!!! read more

Where do I even start!? First of all, the market itself is great! While it is small, they have a variety of ramen and snacks. Their frozen section is filled with amazing Korean food and their spice and ingredients sections is filled as well. The cafe is great and I love the food. I cannot even begin to describe how much I love this store. The owner is such a sweetheart as well. Definitely recommend! read more

Finally found all my asian fixes so i don't have to rely on my family shipping stuff from hawaii and japan! Yipee!

Friendly staff! This is smaller than the store in San Antonio, but they get shipments on a weekly basis. They have all the basics and even a small fresh produce area. read more

I was disappointed in their junk food selection. My favorite candies and ice cream were nowhere to be found. But it's a small place and the sign at the front did read "grand opening," so I'm sure there's still room for improvement. Maybe I'll return in a few months. read more
