    Cucumber kimchi
    Debra W.

    It's a great Korean market that is convenient and will have most of the goods that you are looking for. My only complaints are that there are Very small aisles & Slightly higher pricing than other Asian markets. To more than make it up for it - hands down the best kimchi you'll get in the Eastside. The cucumber kimchi here is insanely addicting. It's fresh, crunchy, balanced with heat and salt and slight tanginess. Also, you can get a variety of other kimchi here that I haven't seen at other markets. My fave kimchis are the ong choy and mustard green kimchi. I crave this stuff. It's perfect as is and compliments any rice dish. And if you've had it a little too long, the absolute perfect addition to any ramen bowl. Additionally, the Kimbap here is so good and so affordable. Honestly, this is the only place I'll get my kimchi from now. And it's nice that I can pick up any pantry staples that I may need while here.

    Southgate Mart is a small family owned grocery store specializing in Korean goods. The store is packed with unique snacks and foods that would be essential to any Korean meal. I visited the shop specifically for their kimchi as they have some of the best around. The kimchi is pickled just right and has a good spicy flavor. If you're in the area and looking for Asian groceries or good kimchi, make sure to check out Southgate Mart!

    Came for the kimbob. Was not disappointed. Nice people at the registers. Store is kind of crammed and small but I like that. Fair selection of Asian snacks and produce

    Nice Korean/Asian Grocery store. Surprisingly had lots of variety of dried noodles, and frozen foods. The proprietor was very nice and friendly too! Bought some mung bean noodles and fresh rice noodles. Also purchased bean sprouts. Nice selection of spices and herbs, fresh veggies

    Came here for lunch today to grab some banchan. The store is small and the aisles are narrow, but it has all sorts of Korean things from snacks, ramen, produce, Kimchi, and there's a banchan section with things from marinated raw oysters, raw crab, mustard greens, boy choy, dry squid, bean sprouts, and more! And the cashier was nice and quick. I'm definitely coming back!

    This little Korean market is great! It's located in Factoria, so off of I-90, which is convenient. It's nice to have an option for Korean groceries other than H-mart (though H-mart is awesome too). Compared to H-mart, it's a lot smaller (the store overall is small and the aisles are narrower), but's it's full of stuff and it's fun to look around. They carry all the major ingredients you would need to make Korean food, plus they also sell kimbap and they sell homemade kimchi in jars in the back section (where the produce are). The chonggak kimchi (young radish kimchi) is really good! The prices are a little higher than they would be at a chain Asian grocery store, but if you don't want to go out of the way or just need to pick up something really quick, this is a great choice and you can support a local mom n pop shop!

    Their Kimchee tastes great. I'm not sure if they make it with MSG or not, though.

This place can also get very crowded and parking is somewhat of a nightmare. It was tough checking the whole place out because it was already crowded by the time we got there. I just remember being overwhelmed with how much they offer - fresh food at the cafeteria/bakeries, pastries, snacks, sake/wine section, etc. Although I was surprised that some of the Filipino condiments were not being sold here. Maybe I gotta take my time when I visit next time. There's still so much to see and try.

Once we entered, the market is huge and busy. Most of people were in the hot food area. We bought garlic roasted chicken bolo on croissants. The roast duck didn't look good at all at the bbq area. They had ready meals to go which looked okay, The bakery had nice displayed of desserts and buns. We didn't have time to look at the whole market. We tried the chicken and it didn't taste good due to lake of flavor. Also, the ready to go dim sum were small in size and kinda pricey. Throughout the market is very clean. Lots of registers were opened. Lots of good deals on snacks near the registers were cheap. I can't wait for market to open in Irvine and chino hills

    Yay! We have a T&T in Lynnwood. We became a fan of T&T when we stayed in Vancouver. Our main…read moreattraction was the hot food buffet station since shopping here always meant, yummy food at the end. My 5 year old really enjoys many of their hot food staples. The T&T in Lynnwood doesn't disappoint at all. While it is smaller than the Factoria location, we do not personally have any complaints. The place is not always packed like the Factoria location and that is a a relief. We primarily use the food & bakery sections, live fish, and frozen food sections. One can say they are a bit pricier in comparison to places like Ranch Market who have similar options but we T&T is closer to us than Ranch Market and so we prefer to go here as it is more convenient. They are special items during Boat Festival every year and we absolutely love the bun station during this time. This is also a great place to experiment with a lot of not usually found Asian alcohol in main stream supermarkets unless you are specially going to a specialty shop.

After a few bites of food, I tossed the rest because it was so unpleasant. Orange chicken, sweet and sour pork, ribs, what could go wrong? I don't know how it goes wrong, but the food is always gristly, dry and bland. The prices do not match the flavour. Prices are high, flavour is low. In addition, I have never had a staff person say hello or thank you, rarely even an acknowledgement that I am there. During my last visit I asked a gentleman if he knew if they had a particular item and he said "what we have in the store". Oh ok, thanks.

Sure it's…read morenot as shiny & fancy as T&T but they also don't jack up their prices and have uncomfortably crowded stores like T&T. Am I salty about getting ripped off for turtle chips at T&T? Possibly. I get all my pantry staples and Asian snacks here. The frozen foods are always good too. Not always the best selection on fresh produce or meats but I mostly get those at Trader Joe's anyways. S-Mart has the best prices on all my kids' favorite snacks and now they make fresh banh mi's, so it's the only grocery store my kids actually willingly go to. The employees are always helpful and friendly, especially to my little ones. Yes it can smell funky in there and isn't as well lit but as long as they continue to stock all my pantry and snack needs at the best prices around, I'll continue coming back!

Hubs had the pork which was flavored well, I had the tofu which could have used marinade. Luckily the pickled veggies and mayo added great flavor. Reasonably priced at $7.99, about right given the protein amount. You pay for the banh mi at the grocery checkout and then bring the receipt to the banh mi counter - which is just to the left inside S Marts South entrance. This is a small spot and they get busy, so perhaps check out the wait time and order before you shop. I waited 30 minutes mid day today. (S Mart has a great selection of both Asian and some non-asian foods) The staff were very nice and helpful and our order was spot on, even with our special requests of one non-toasted and without jalapenos. We'll definitely go again.

That said, after today's visit, I stand corrected. The exterior is run down and the lighting inside is depressing, but the place is clean, the staff is nice and the pricing is competitive. If this place had a robust meat selection, I think they could give Uwajimaya a run. I didn't find everything I was looking for, but the dry spices and vegetables were exactly what I was after. I didn't see cabbage or celery, but the selection was still more diverse than any other store I've visited. My singular knock was the two guys stocking the store. Both were kind and polite, but they also had radios blasting music. I'm sensitive to sound, so it made it hard for me to focus and I'm sure a couple items I was after I missed, because I couldn't stay in the area where they were stocking merch. Bulk spices tend to last, so it may be a minute before I find my way back here. That said, this will be my go to spice store.

Worth checking out, especially if you are in need of some lesser known or harder to find ethnic items for cooking. Gigantic selection of South Asian staples, in particular. The size of the selection is honestly astounding. Also some very original, for this area, items such as Afghani bread. Very cool. On the con side, it's a bit ramshackle and untidy or run down in appearance. Very popular, tho.
