    Reviews With Photos - Seoul Supermarket

    Sook Y was rude and racist she was nice to everyone that resembled her appearance. Greeted them kindly and thanked them . Since I was the only Hispanic she said nothing when I said hi . I was there at 3:05 pm on a Sunday . Don't go if your any other race than Asian she'll give you the same treatment

    My tray of delicious bulgogi.
    Suzanne C.

    I was on the hunt for Bulgogi and not having a lot of success. I was almost ready to give up when I decided to call the Seoul Supermarket. I've driven by here many times without stopping. When I called they said they didn't have ready made bulgogi. I started the say thanks and hang up when the woman offered to make it for me. She asked for my number and said she'd call when it was ready. Within the hour I received her call. This was my first time here. It's a small but very tidy and well organized store. Most importantly there was a wonderful full tray of delicious bulgogi ready for me. At an extremely reasonable price. I WILL definitely return in the near future. And I am extremely appreciative of the kindness extended to me. Not many places go out of their way for customers nowadays.

    a variety of products on display

    Believe it or not, it's more organized and very clean! There are lots of choices for fresh veggies! The bakery area is new, seems like more items! The staff is very friendly and helpful!

    Small meat pieces the owner was trying to hide for order with a special instruction NO MEAT for vegetarian.

    Please do not order catering from this place due to the multiple food safety and lack of knowledge of employees. I ordered Sweet Potato Noodles for the company potluck without the meat for vegetarian staffs. I made sure three times prior to pick it up and my coworkers found small pieces of meat at the bottom of the tray. The owner admitted that she was in hurry so decided to take out meats with hands and never bother inform me about it. The way the owner and manager were responding to this incident was only caring about what the name of company is and how many people have eaten to be prepare any legal problem if someone get sick or worse things happens. Had to apologize to every single coworkers and to the company itself for meat in the food and owner clearly did not show care. She kept saying it was only few pieces and would not matter so much! Someone who do not have food safety basic knowledge should be prohibited handling food. I really pray nothing bad happen to who had eaten it today.

    Seoul Market - Korean and Asian grocery store
    DOROTHY M.

    Okay, this is a good grocery store in the North suburbs of Chicago. It is not as a big Korean Store like H-Mart or Jongboo Market that are located in Chicago, Niles or Glenview but it have the main items you will need to make Korean food! Or any Asian food for that matter. I like this place because it is family owned and the owner is so sweet! SO, BUY LOCAL! They make the best homemade Kimchi weekly and believe me, if you taste it, you will definitely drive there for it!!! wherever you are located in Chicago. The homemade kimchi is not BURN your mouth spiced BUT DELICIOUSLY SPICY. I just bought a medium Kimchi and I could wait to just eat it with regular rice or have it as a side dish. They also have the tofu and spicy soups and all the meats you will need to do your own Korean BBQ. They also have a good selection of Asian beers like Sapporo, Makgeolli, and sojus! That would be a great in home dinner with the family or just for a date! Go here if you are in Buffalo Grove and want to make great Korean food with great products and reasonable price. BUY LOCAL, especially homemade kimchi's!!! FRIED RICE KIMCHI, so delicious!!!!

    Magic Chicken wings!
    Kimberly P.

    Shhhhhh don't tell anybody........ It's FANTASTIC! Chicken wings are a delight get em before their gone, look for the square "hot" case near the pickled veg and salads. Order em by container with quick pickup $30 and $60 versions to start. I brought $30 order of wings for the teachers on conference day, now they all go to Seoul to get them too. I love to support local business! You should too nice ladies in front and back, hand rolls, soups, ma bo, and chap chae also available.

    I want to give a shout out to Andrea and Chris (I wish I had last names!)…read more You know what it's like when life gets so stressful that you are struggling to find a reason to make it through the day, and then you discover a sweet treat in the international candy aisle of your local Tony's that is like nothing else you've ever eaten, and it becomes your nightly reward for making it through another day? No? Just me? Well, then humor me. I found that treat (and I'm not identifying it because I don't want my store to run out!!) and I stopped in my Tony's Monday morning to get my week's worth, and despite the fact that I hadn't seen the supply dwindle at all in the months I've been eating these treats (so I just assumed I was the only one who bought them,) AND they had literally boxes full of product every time I came to Tony's, my heart SUNK when I saw the empty shelf. Sometimes when life rains, it pours, and life has been pouring on me, and seeing that one of the few things I had to look forward to was gone, broke the camel's back. I headed toward customer service, and saw a woman standing in front of customer service (she may have been supervising the self checkout) and I approached her on the verge of tears and explained that they were out of the only thing that brought me joy, and she said "well then, we will find it." That was Angela. Thank you, Angela!!! Truly, an angel! I was expecting judgment, not kindness. I was hoping they had just moved the candy to a different display or something but Angela looked into it and they were completely out (and when I'd been in less than a week earlier, there was still a LOT of product that was about a year away from expiration, so I guess I'm NOT the only one who finds this item irresistible!) So Angela recruited a very kind gentleman named Chris who got my information, placed an order with the vendor, and barely 24 hours later I got a text from Chris that the product was at the store waiting for me. My experience with "customer service" on a whole lately has been that no one seems to care anymore. Or that people do the absolute minimum that they can get away with. I cannot remember the last time I had a company truly care if I was happy with my shopping experience. Angela could have just told me to "go look for the product at other Tony's stores" or online ... but instead she made sure the item would be available at my preferred store. Chris could have just told me "they'll be in some time next week, come in and look" .... but instead, he texted me to let me know when they arrived, and because I couldn't make it into the store that day, he made sure to set side the quantity I need. Again, these are all such small things in the grand scheme of life, but Joy and kindness are so important and so hard to come by these days. Because of the kindness of Andrea and Chris, I'm able to find little bits of joy at the end of the day, as I work my way through this difficult chapter in my life.

They were able to create them. I would never usually ask for special treatment or a short order, and when I did, they delivered. I cannot thank them enough for easing the burden on such a hard weekend. I have shopped there since the Prospect Heights store opened. I love the selection, the workers, and the deals. A good store run by good people.

The store shares an enormous parking lot with other businesses. I will definitely spend more time in the store on my next visit to see what else I can find.

    Wow. I found myself…read morein Arlington Heights, and my buddy suggested this place due to an upcoming trip to Japan in 2027. It's a Japanese market that features an amazing food court (and this is where I spent all my time.) I don't recall the name of the stall I purchased from. But I can tell you it was quick, not expensive and very filling. I had a bowl with beef and noodles; for dessert I hit the matcha dessert stall for some matcha and vanilla ice cream. The whole place meal me feel like I was dining outside the state of Illinois. The service from everyone in the market was very friendly and they even had a sake/soju tasting by the front door (and the vendors allowed you try was much as you wanted.) I highly recommend this spot

    If you love Japanese culture, food, and want to visit a neat place and kind of feel like you are…read morevisiting Japan, you need to visit Mitsuwa! Not only is there a food court of different Japanese restaurants to try, there is also a grocery store, bakery, bookstore, and stores that sell ice cream, traditional desserts, as well as crepes and boba tea! My family and I visit here often every year and we like to try the different foods and desserts and then check out the bookstore and grocery store afterwards. My favorite foods so far have been the beef udon soup with a soft boiled egg, shrimp and vegetable tempura, miso soup, and Japanese curry with rice, beef, and vegetables (carrots and potatoes). My son always gets the chicken and beef on a stick and my daughter usually gets a garlic pork dish with white rice but I forget what this dish is called. My husband also enjoys the beef udon soup like I do. I swear that whenever my food is finished, I am legit sad! The crepes are good, there is a variety of boba teas to try, and the ice creams are delicious! Lychee has been my favorite so far but I have yet to try the matcha, red bean, among others! You can get a small sample of different ice cream flavors too, which is nice! I sampled the red bean flavor so that will be my go-to next time! At the grocery store, I love buying Happy Turn snacks which are like a sweet and salty crunchy cracker (maybe it is made of rice?) that are individually wrapped and mochi from the fridge area. Finally, I usually like to buy mochi from the store right next to the bookstore. The mochi from this location is the best! I usually buy multiple flavors to take home and eat at a later time! You must try these! My kids love checking out the bookstore and they usually pick something out for me to buy for them - whether it is a book, keychain, etc. There are magazines, anime figurines, soft plushy toys, pens, and stationary, etc. It is interesting to browse through the things they have there! You cannot bring food or drinks inside but they do have a shelf at the entrance where you can place your drink there if you like. The first time visiting here, the majority of the customers were Asians and as the years have passed, there is now more of an influx of non-Asians who simply love the food and appreciate the culture, which I think is neat! The first time I visited here was with my college roommate who was from Japan and she recommended this place back in 2009 perhaps? I have been visiting ever since with my family. We travel more than an hour from Wisconsin to come here but it is 100% worth the drive! Also, the cashiers and workers there are quick, efficient, and friendly. I have even been able to practice a few of the Japanese phrases I have learned with a couple of the cashiers too (I asked if they spoke Japanese first)! Overall, Mitsuwa is my happy place! Great food, interesting finds, different culture, and everyone there looks excited to be there. This is as close to visiting Japan as I can get until I keep learning more Japanese and save up enough money to go visit Japan someday! This is my dream! In the meantime, we will keep visiting Mitsuwa!
