Decided to visit Woori Mart out of curiosity. Can't resist going into organizational stores and by the view from the street I was hoping to come across a hidden gem. Not the case! Most of the containers styles you can find say at a Marukai or Don Quiote location at close to a fourth or half off the sticker price. If you are interested in overly expensive blankets or hipster grandmother aprons this may be your mecca. Any positive aspect about this retail location is overshadowed by the horror of their customer service. You would think I was an escaped convict still in prison wear. No sales associates asked if I needed assistance, gave any greeting and they basically stayed in any opposite section of the store at all times. Their facial expressions lingered around being nervous, uncomfortable and seemingly constipated. I don't think it's a far reach to guess that you'd probably have better customer service if you're over 40 or of the same ethnicity. read more

This store has quite a bit of items that you may not find elseware. Though some items can be a bit pricey, its fun to find things that you've been pondering about. I will definitely give this store 5 stars. Reason? The employees are honest and sincere. I was ready to purchase my basket of items. I whispered to the cashier to add what my friends are buying to my bill. Long story short, I paid and my friends and I went back to the car. Just a minute or so after, the cashier and her supervisor hollered to me asking me to come back in. They explained that there was a mistake and accidentally overcharged. I was refunded approximately $20. Wow. They apologized sincerely, and I truly thanked them for "coming after me". They felt to double check what was rung up and wanted to correct the error. I am so touched by their decency. To me, this also reflects so brightly on their company. Thank you Woori Mart! You hire great employees to represent your company. read more

Kinda pricey but some cool finds in here. I love the aprons so much to choose from and really cute. Bedding pillows also are fit for all sorts of comfort needs. Very nice service. read more

What a nifty little shop Woori Mart is: an importer of Korean household products to make your home a little more eye appealing. Ample parking with entrance just past Foodland Beretania. The goods are on the expensive side so I'm not sure if one is actually getting a bargain or not. I would really like to know what kind of prices one would pay if one were to buy these in Korea. But there are some neat little knick-knacks for every part of your home you can conceivably think of. Some of these would make great house warming gifts for sure...I know I wouldn't mind being on the receiving end. I SPIED: FOR THE BEDROOM: A whole wall of blankets and comforters. Very expensive. And very nice. If I could splurge here I would. Someday perhaps. Someday. Cute pillows for kids and adults. FOR THE LIVING ROOM/MAN CAVE/TV ROOM etc: Cushions galore. Looking for a nice cushion for your sofa? Got $50 to spare? I noticed they have things "on sale" so if you see something on sale, it would be a nice time to buy. I did get a nice seat cushion (kind of like a zabuton) that was 50% off for $15.00. They had a nice selection of colors to choose from so I was happy with my purchase. FOR THE BATHROOM/SHOWER: Soap trays, caddys & dispensers, containters/tubs in all shapes and sizes, herbal soaps, shower towels, gizmos to clean or organize your bathroom and all sorts of trinketry. FOR THE KITCHEN: Glass containers with lids in all shapes and sizes, bountiful lunch boxes, thermoses, serving trays, utensils of all sorts, cups, dishes, cooking pots and pans. Small little banchan dishes? It's here. They even stock those aluminum pots you see in K-Dramas where everyone cooks their ramyun in, ha ha. I was enticed by these cute handle bar covers for the refrigerator doors but do I really need spiffy-cute looking little covers for my fridge handle bars? Even on sale for $15 I was hedging but decided not to. I suppose it will keep the handle bars clean & my fridge looking accessorized but that's about it. So I decided to 'test out' my newly acquired seat cushion. To make it extra comfy I made a mistake of stacking it on an existing cushion. Yep, it was too comfy because I dozed off in front the tv & slipped off my chair. There was no traction on the new cushion since there's a poly blend lining inside the cushion that made it slippery. In the midst of trying to brace my fall, the brunt of my fall was absorbed by my nearly 20 year old mini table that was next to my chair. A corner portion of the table split & cracked and left me a nice sized strawberry on my arm. Time to buy a new mini table? Because I spied that at Woori Mart too. read more

This place SUCKS! I bought a very expensive comforter for $300 and the first time I washed it and followed the directions it came out nubby. Its 100 percent cotton so its not supposed to do that after you wash it. So it was defective and they wouldn't let me exchange it for something else. I even told them I'd be willing to purchase something else if they just let me return the blanket bc its defective but they didn't want my business. That's how you if a store sucks, if ALL SALES FINAL! read more

Zero stars!!...Let me tell you about this rip off store. I paid over $10 for hooks to hang my towel and broke off the first time I tried. I purchased socks never worn with their retail sticker on...tried to return with receipt 3 days later, they said no refund no store credit...All Sales Final!!...so if you happen to buy wrong size socks throw them away cuz you ain't getting nothing from them...this store is just a ripoff center. Never buy anything from there...I am Korean and I am all with supporting my fellow Koreans but everyone should avoid this place..There is a reason why they say..All Sales are Final!..because their product sucks!! read more

I have always wanted to check this store out since I've seen it always passing by on Beretania. So randomly my mom and I decided to come here today, from first walking in i was so overwhelmed and that's in a good way! I love colorful stores with little knick knacks and this one is like that. Everything is from Korea, I guess you could say, woorimart is like a Korean walmart lol! Things are a bit pricey but then again where else can you find things from Korea? I must say, the blankets are Beautiful! Very expensive for some small throws! It's probably worth it though, the material is different, kinda like a japanese summer blanket material if your familiar with that. Some are quilted looking. I mean there are all kinds. I also thought that the yarn they had was cool, my mom and I crochet and seeing that we were like whoaaaaaa that's out of this world! We could crochet little cute things like sponge cleaners for sinks lol (I think that's what it was for). They have some furniture, shelves, small desks for children, chairs, things like that. Also floor mattresses which looked hella comfortable I'd probably sleep on one lol. They have pillows which are also pricey, I pulled a small one out and the price was $60! I didn't leave the store empty handed though. I saw some cute wall paper for the kitchen and bathroom that I picked up, to my surprise it was only $3.99 for one and the designs were cute! The lady ringing us up was very very friendly! Engaged conversation with us and made us feel welcomed to the store. On the other hand the man there was super UN friendly my mom smiled at him and he snobbed her. Great tip- parking stalls are huge and really convenient, the bathroom is clean as well, I might be back later to get more wallpaper! read more

Love the location, love the variety of products.. But. I bought a little pillow there several years ago, was about $20.00... Came back to get more hoping would be similar priced.. But ended paying $40.00... After searching internet, same pillow sells for $25. 00....prices are too high.. Please consider sales orders getting more competitive with real prices. But I do love the items in the this store. read more

I really love shopping here. So many great things- I especially love the kitchenware. I was very disappointed to find out that starting this month (December), all sales are final. I was planning on purchasing quilts for a few special Christmas gifts, but was told they won't be able to exchange them if they don't like them. Guess I have to shop only for myself. read more

The lady at the register was not helpful. She made it seem like I was bothering her when I asked where something was because I wanted to be in/out. She said next time come when you have the time to browse the store and find what I need. I give two because maybe she was not feeling well. mom said she looked like she had a stiff neck. My mom is too nice. lol read more

Love shopping here for kitchen items. Exactly what you find in Korea at your fingertips.

Omg everything in this store is too cute! Or maybe because it's just a Korean thing LOL but I only go here for a specific thing and I'm not saying it it's a secret haha. I love this place and the staffs are so friendly & I really love how they always let me come in get whatever I need 5 minutes before they close! I usually call in to let them know that I'm on my way before they close and they really waited for me, how freaking AWSOME is that?! The staffs are just a PLUS! Check this place out you'll find some great things in here read more

Korean make the best blanket, this place have everything you need for the house. Check them out.

Woori Mart is an overpriced store. There are a few items that meet budget friendly consumers. I've been to this store more than 10 times and like some of their variety. I was, however, recently appalled because there was an item priced for $1.95 and when I went to the cashier to pay for the item, I inquired if they had more in stock so that I could purchase a bunch of this. The store owner quickly took the item from me and stated that it was incorrectly priced and that if I wanted it, I would need to pay the price of $9.95. Not good business sense! I haven't been back since because of what they did to me. I may go back, it depends on my need for financial punishment. read more

We've been on a Korean kick ever since we came back from vacay in Seoul. One essential kitchen item we wanted to purchase was those hot stone pots to make bi bim bop in. Luckily Woori Mart has that and more! Tons of containers, dishes, silverware (love those Korean spoons), household items, furniture, and those fluffy blankets. A fun place to shop at for Korean items! read more

Far exceeds prices in Korea but then again you don't pay for handling and shipping. Every container and/or kitchen utensil, toiletries and bedroom item you need. The blankets are BEAUTIFUL! Some are garish and loud but you can find pristine, tasteful, elegant blankets if you have the time and wallet for it. On a budget? Start with stainless steel chopsticks which keep icy cold noodles, cold while you slurp! It's a start and if people tell you they're hard to use, get a grip! (Literally.). They take one meal to adjust your chopstick handling. Oh yes,, I forgot, the blankets? Many of them are in 100% cool, comfy cotton. Go. Anyong haseyo. read more

A great shop for hard to find household items! I was in search of a tiny garbage pail for my kitchen counter. When my item isn't at bed bath beyond, then Woori mart is one of the shops that might carry those hard to find items. I also found a small hanging rack for undergarments and stockings. I'm so glad that we have choices like Woori mart in Honolulu. read more

This is your one-stop shop for all of your Korean/Asian household needs! I recommend coming here if you need plastic Tupperware for your pantry. The quality is much better than what you would find at Walmart, Kmart, or longs drugs and there is a ton of variety such as shape, color, sizes, etc.. Give yourself enough time to shop here because there are so many random and interesting finds! read more

Bad customer service!!! Purchased 2 containers with their suggestions. Found out that size was too big and asked if I could change to smaller size. Their answer was no exchange at all !!! read more

Usually I get my blankets directly from Korea but this store has a great for blankets and old grandma style ground sleeping cotton mats you can fold. I like this over futon because the design are beautiful,the fabric is soft, and it doesn't rip apart easily like the futon. I also like woori mart because they have cute pillows and soft floor cushion mats for my son to play on. read more

Was looking for cheap gift bag fillers for the class for Christmas or birthday- like cute notebook, pencils, pens, ruler, pencil pouch. This is NOT the store to go to for dollar stuff, I thought it was a dollar store since its windows were stacked with a rainbow color plastics, this used to be the old Acura car dealer near the Beretania Foodland. There is not a dollar worth of stationary or any cheap stuff for kids, more like expensive plastic containers, gadgets, heavy comforters for the kids and adults. Too bad, with the Marukai store closing in Windward Mall, unsure where I can find goody bag filler for kids, Price Busters is the same old stuff and Party City is no different... I walked out disappointed. Don Quixote also don't have their cute dollar stuff either. read more

Went looking for a specific item. Greeted pleasantly at door and helped to find my item. Great service and thoroughly easy after a few difficult searches at other nearby stores. read more

Although this place is far from my usual areas, this place is really interesting. They have so much stuff that you'd need to allow yourself ample time to see all the different kinds of stuff. They are a Korean household store carrying goods for kitchen, bath, bedroom, and all-around the house and some car accessories, too. read more

Love this place for hard-to-find stainless steel salad bowls, Korean rice washing bowls and other items I grew up with but can't find anywhere else. They have an awesome variety of Korean BBQ portable tabletop stoves & grills too for DIY samgyeopsal at home! read more

Love their blankets and rugs. You might think pricey but the quality is there and the workmanship beautiful. You'll find lots of cute things. Some things a little expensive but its imported from Korea. read more

I LOVE this place! Where else can you get a rice scoop that you can actually give as a gift? (My girlfriend LOVED it!) I didn't think that the prices were out of line. I could have browsed for hours as there is just that much inventory. But alas, hubby and kids were waiting and this store didn't thrill them so much. I can't wait to get back to Oahu so that I browse this place alone! read more

The blankets are so great! They're quilted but super light and comfortable and most are 100% cotton and washable. They also have a ton of Korean kitchen stuff, including aluminum and dolsut pots, dish drainers (2 tiers - great for small spaces), and a large assortment of food storage containers. They have a sale once a year on the blankets and it's going on right now. read more

Amazingly un-American. Just stopped in to buy some holiday gifts. Their December policy is that there is unequivocally no returns-no exchanges. They stated that it had something to do with their suppliers or manufacturers. BS!!. Do not even contemplate checking them out if you are local and are looking for gifts. On top of that, they are relatively expensive. read more

This place is not fun for guys? Surely you jest...and don't call me surely. This place has all kinds of stuff! Ever get those glass containers that takes a lumberjack to open? Ever get those plastic containers to use for lunchboxes? Woori Mart has easy open containers or the lumberjack kine too, and more! Prices may be steep, but here you find everything in one place! Talk about one-stop-shopping! I don't know about you, but most guys like to go to just ONE place to go get stuffs...Bruddah, dats me! Who like go all over the creation, bucking traffic just to buy one thing here, one thing there, then go clear over the Pali, for just one more thing? Just let me make one thing clear, this is NOT a man's shopping store, unless you one bachelor. If you are,den dis place is da bomb! Steeply priced stuff are probably made in Korea. Ugh, Made in Korea? The Hyundai and Kia cars are Made in Korea, and they are pretty darn good, aren't they? Everywhere you go, compartmentalization is the buzzword. For you compartmentalization freaks, Woori Mart is the place for you! I just bought a new Elantra and needed storage containers for my cavernous trunk. Guess what? Found them at Woori Mart! No'mo stuff flying around all over the trunk, messing up my golf clubs. Take a chance and swing by. You may be pleasantly surprised. I gave only 4-stars because they didn't have food. read more

Discrimination! Life in South Korea was extremely difficult for mixed-race individuals, I look more white and Koreans have always made a point I am an outcast. If I was to speak the Korean language I would of got a red carpet treatment, but they already judged me as white and didn't even careless to make me feel welcome in their store. Very disapointed with their customer service where I was in the store looking at things that reminded me of my mother's land, every one else who look pure korean was greeted, reminded me how it was growing up in Korea, now here in the USA! My friend who is pure white wanted to purchase many products as I wanted to as well, but I left and discouraged my friend to do so, she never saw me so sad, I don't ever want to feel this past-pain, hurtful memories, ever again! I love my mother, and taught english in korean colleges, if I shared I know I wouldve got the Korean high class society treatment, tired of it, I am a customer, stayed muted and observed only to have me shiver with PTSD, I am 50 yrs old, stunts my heart, it's still exist! read more
