Visited the Zion Market in Buena Park for the first time! My first impression was that it's quite a bit bigger than the Irvine location. There was a much wider selection, and the sale prices were surprisingly good. The biggest surprise? Pineapples were only $1 each when we visited (7/3/2026)! If you enjoy browsing Korean grocery stores, this location is definitely worth checking out. read more

This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a grocery store. Before shopping, my family and I had lunch at the tonkatsu restaurant next door and bought some bread afterward. Inside the bread bag was a partially eaten container of seasoned seaweed that I had been eating. Before I even entered the market, the security guard at the entrance stopped me and, in a confrontational tone, asked, "What's this?" I showed him the container and explained that it was simply the seaweed I had been eating. I asked if there was a problem. He replied that the market sells the same product and that it could be misunderstood. I completely understand the need to prevent shoplifting, but instead of politely explaining the situation, he spoke to me in an accusatory manner from the very beginning and even criticized my tone of voice. I've shopped at many grocery stores, but I've never had a security guard confront me before I even entered the store. It completely ruined the shopping experience for my family. My children were surprised and upset by the security guard's rude behavior. They kept asking me what had happened and why he was talking to us that way, which made the whole experience even more disappointing. To avoid any further misunderstanding, I left the container of seaweed at the entrance before going into the store. This was an extremely unpleasant and disappointing experience. read more

My wallet and I are both huge fans of this market. I come here almost every weekend because it's one of the few places where I can load up on fresh fruits and vegetables without questioning all of my life choices at checkout. The produce is always fresh, well-stocked, and covered with sale tags that make bargain hunters like me very happy. Most of my meal prep and weekend grocery shopping gets done in one trip, and I still end up spending way less than I would at places like Ralph's, Vons, even Trader Joe's. I can leave with bags full of leafy greens, fruits, and veggies, instead of leaving with one avocado and a sledgehammer to my bank account. The people here are just as great as the prices. I'm usually greeted with a friendly "good morning" or "good afternoon" while shopping, and the Korean aunties at the registers are always so kind and welcoming. They somehow make checking out feel less like an errand and more like visiting family- except this family sends you home with excellent, healthy produce. If you're looking for fresh groceries, great prices, and genuinely friendly service, Zion Market is your place to go. My refrigerator stays happy, and more importantly, so does my bank account. read more

I feel like Zion sells things cheaper than HMart and Hannam chain, which both are across the street if you're wanting to price match items. For BTS JIn army, they have the tuna there! :)))) Plenty of parking. Shares a lot with jack in the box and restaurants. read more

I'm surprised at how low this market is rated, I have been coming here for over 5 years and have never had a bad experience or encountered any rude behavior. This is the only market that carries a product that I love and have never found elsewhere, so I will always stock up when I'm out in the area for meetings. I am always shocked at the prices here, sometimes they are unbelievably low. There's three Korean markets across from each other and they are competitive, however I will never go to Hannam Market because it's awful. This store has a small bakery at the front and the store is well laid out and is always stocked. Ample parking in a spacious parking lot. read more

I always come here for their sundubu (soft tofu)! It's almost always on sale, along with a lot of the produce. They also have good sales on snacks and frozen items, but make sure to check the expiration dates. I've noticed it's usually cheaper than other markets like H Mart and Hannam. Parking is never difficult since there's plenty of space available. read more

I usually goto Hmart, but came here to grab some fish cakes. I was surprised at the many snack options! I will definitely be coming back for my Korean snacks since they seem to carry stuff Hmart does not. read more

One thing great about coming here are the great deals on fresh produce. Why go to a Costco when you can get large quantities for cheap. I love getting Korean Snacks. I always bring different types of snacks to the office and my kids and grandkids love the variety. When it comes to meat, it's like art. It's beautiful, fresh, clean, fat is trimmed neatly and it's packaged beautifully too. In comparison to some American grocery stores - thick pieces of fat, pools of blood, thrown together, holes in the saran wrap and sometimes the foam tray is busted. read more

Do not buy produce here. Zion Market hires the rudest produce workers out of any grocery store I have ever seen. Three of the Spanish produce workers rudely prevented my wife from picking vegetables. They even told each other to stop putting in new produce so stop her from picking vegetables. The reason is because my wife wanted to look through and pick the healthy vegetables but the workers prevented her from looking by forcing her to pick from the top only. Then when we confronted them about it the workers started YELLING at us in front of all the customers. We complained to the manager but I don't think they are going to do anything about it so we wanted people to know DON'T COME HERE. The produce workers are rude and yell at customers. They think the customers are not important. read more

They don't bag groceries for you even when you're buying the bags. They claim self service. Then where's the self checkout lane? There's literally three Korean markets on this intersection. The other places do bag them for you. Hannam chain has better produce and H mart has better selection and pricing. No reason to come here. read more

The best deals out of the 3 Korean markets in the area. Lines do get long, but goes pretty quickly. Variety of groceries. There's samples at random times. Esp on the weekend. read more

Lots of samples to try out, staff were friendly. We love getting the ready to eat foods here. Always fair price and tasty, plenty of parking. read more

RUDE Service! Don't even try their food samples or they will roll their eyes, and to kids! coz my daughter was the one that wanted the sample! Then I encountered another racist lady by the food samples.. I asked if we can try the sample she's cooking in her pot and I was asking about the product but she just kept giving it to her kind, kept ignoring me, she didn't even acknowledge me, shoo'd me away and then as I was walking away clearly she's talking about me behind my back to another customer! I called her out on her RUDE behavior! Also beware on trying their samples-- I saw she has a different bowl she's keeping by her side that looks much fresher and she's only giving it to customers who speaks her language! She even told that customer not to get the sample from the display and handed her a sample she's keeping by her side! That's soo wrong! Don't come here! I will be boycotting this place and will tell EVERYBODY about rude racist people that they let work here! read more

They have the best fish cake! Seriously! My wife and I enjoy going to this place even we don' t need anything!

Go here for cheap deals. When it comes to cashier service, expect nothing more than being treated like shit with the worst attitude and impatience. Typical Korean ajumma. Honestly, I can find cheaper deals at times at Hmart or Hannam Chain across the street with better quality/ freshness of produce. Adding to this is better customer service. read more

Im here almost every week, and have been for many years. What keeps me coming back is their super affordable fruit and produce prices! It is always such a steal. I also always stock up on their tofu tubes since it is just a dollar. read more

2.75 stars- This is a hit or miss market unfortunately. (+): -Ads have very tempting prices. -Big box store offers lots of variety so it could possibly be a one stop shop.... But ....(read below) (-) Despite the prices, the quality of produce is questionable. For example, while the ad advertises 99 cents for 3 lbs of green beans (a bit unheard of in 2025!), it was very subpar in quality that you would need to spend a bit of time picking out the specific green beans instead of grabbing by the handful at other stores. Unfortunately, this is true for other produce as well that appear to be reasonably priced. I have visited this store numerous times and sometimes leave without purchasing anything because of the quality so it becomes a waste of time. Recommendation- If you're in a pinch for time, and trying to buy produce, I would recommend visiting other competitors in the area because the quality would most likely be better despite needing to pay more. read more

INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED!!! I was grocery shopping in preparation for our New Year's Day family gathering dinner. I've often heard many people say that Zion Market has the lowest grocery prices, and many cases, I agree. This is the time of the year that I shop all 3 markets for all the things I need to feed 25 to 30 people. That day (December 31st), I first went to H mart across from Zion Market and purchased Korean spinach for $2.99 per pound. I thought this was still a good price compared to $3.99 per pound at Hannam Market. Later, when I saw the Korean spinach at Zion Market for only $0.99 per pound, I thought i could use more and purchased two additional bags totaling about 5-6 pounds. When I got home and started washing the spinach, I noticed the water turning green. I washed it multiple times, but the water remained green. Out of concern, I compared it to the spinach I had purchased from H Mart, and the water from that spinach was completely clear. That's when I became suspicious that food coloring or chemicals may have been added to make the vegetables look fresher. If you search online, you will find many reports about some farmers adding dyes or chemicals to vegetables to enhance their appearance. Due to my concerns, I threw away all the spinach purchased from Zion Market and called the store to inquire about their spinach vendor. I was told that the spinach was from a local grower, not from Korea or China. This raised more questions for me. Isn't "Korean spinach" supposed to come from Korea? Isn't that one of the reasons it is typically more expensive than spinach grown in the U.S.?? I regularly purchased organic spinach from American grocery markets and have never experienced this issue. I sincerely hope that Zion Market investigates this matter thoroughly and looks closely into all their fruits and vegetables growers or vendors to get the bottom of this issue. We do not live in a third-world country, and if anyone engaging in unethical or unsafe practices with our food, they should be held accountable. PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR CHEAP PRICES WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD SAFETY!!! North OC resident read more

Good store with a nice variety of items. We actually was driving through and at a place around the corner. Decided to walk into the Zion Market to check it out and walk a bit from dinner. We were amazed on the selection of korean items. We picked up a couple snack items to take with us for Knotts Berry Farm as that is the main reason for being in the area. Definitely would come through again if looking for items to try. read more

very bad customer service. Cashiers are rude and make you really hurry up and pay while you have to put your groceries into your bags on your own. They are saving money by not hiring anyone to put or pack groceries into bags and make customers do instead. usually chashiers are vey impatient and make you rush and pay even though you are not done with packing. read more

Excellent price. Have not been there in a few years and ended up buying $400 worth of groceries plus ordering 50 pounds of.Kalbi meat. Will go back next month for more. read more

Nice no frills Korean supermarket. They have a lot of selection especially in their freezer section, cooked foods section, and snacks. There are quite a few items you can only find at Zion (and not the other Korean supermarkets) so it's nice to swing by once in a while. I came after work on a Tuesday hoping to pick up some of the fresh cream buns that I had been seeing on Instagram, but they were all sold out. They did have a lot of cool snacks and other freezer items that I picked up instead. The cooked foods section had a pretty nice array of banchans, kimbaps, and more. No restrooms. Lots of free parking in the parking lot. read more

I believe this is one of the fav Korean supermarket to shop for Sales. Love to frequent here for the Great Deals. Along w loving the YeWooL Bakery located inside Zion Market. Highly recommended especially the Mammoth Sweet Bread. It's filled w red bean, a cream & some green tea They do tend to close early. Went there on a Sunday 08.07.22 around 6 p.m. after dinner and the Bakery was close. Was a bit bummed since I wanted to grab the Mammoth bread. It was sold out the past Wednesday i came. Those are usually available in the morning. By 1 pm they are sold out already! Can get pretty busy on weekends. Lines for cashiers also, might have a bit of a wait. Lots of parking available Shopping day 08.07.22 read more

My wife, kids and Iove Korean barbecue. However, my 3 year old, who just turned 4, is a terror at restaurants. Maybe because he was a Covid baby or maybe he just likes to eat at home, but whatever the case, our evenings out at local KBBQ restaurants are more stressful than enjoyable. I work with many Korean nurses and professionals. Their go-to for reasonably priced fresh produce, meats and Korean specialty food is Zion. We love bulgogi (marinated, thinly sliced round meat), and kalbi (marinated short ribs). The butcher counter has both, marinated and fresh and ready to go for home cooking. We bought a portable butane stove and round grill pan just for bbqing at home just like at the restaurants. My kids love having KBBQ at home and they eat much better, too. We also got the marinated and sliced radish, rice paper, red chili sauce, romaine lettuce with seasoned dressing, and kimchee to round it all out. My wife loves buying fruit here as it's fresh and sweet and, for the most part, reasonably priced. The only downside is that most of the staff don't speak English and we have a hard time communicating with them when we're looking for a specific item. I even enter English words in Google translate and then display it on my phone in Korean when I'm really stuck. Parking can get really crowded, especially in the late afternoon and early evening. Like most stores, some items run out and the substitutions can be pricey. However, they have the occasional sale, which is nice, so I guess it all evens out in the end. It's a pretty authentic experience and I bring my kids so they can experience a different culture and also learn how to communicate with someone who doesn't speak English. This way, when we travel overseas, they won't be overwhelmed with how to communicate. Regardless of language, the raw food and produce here is delicious and fresh. And that doesn't need any translation. read more

This will always be my second choice in Korean supermarkets. I have not yet gone to a location that is nice and clean with good vibes. Especially when there is a pretty H mart across the street. I stopped to get some barley tea after stopping by cafe Mak next door. 15mins wait in line for one tea box. I will happily go back to H mart for my Korean grocery needs. read more

Very spacious. Lots of parking spaces. Nice and clean market, prices are reasonable. Vegetables, fruits, are fresh.

I stopped here for the first time last week to check them out. For years i have driven past here and wanted to stop inside to take a look at. They have some decent produce here, except some of their meats look and smell past their due dates.. I apprciate their fresh breads and all, but they need to keep track out on when selling the meats. Service was good, but quality of produce and food need some work. read more

Why does this not have good reviews?? My go to spot for all my Korean needs... Or mostly all of them. I feel this place has more options for when you go grocery shopping and it's cheaper than H-Mart! They even have Korean ladies giving food instant noodles samples which is cool. Good meat selection too when you want to save money and do kbbq at home. A good amount of check out lanes open with good service. I'll be back! read more

Great place to shop. So many options. Good competition to bigger chain store. Typical check out cashier service. Nothing more nothing less. The store interior is not nice and shiny. That's why you can get a little cheaper prices. read more

Zion Market - 2 in 1 Chips. - Grocery Near Me - Buena Park, California

Decent market. This used to be the closest Korean market to me growing up in San Diego but since I now live closer to Hmart, I don't frequent Zions anymore. A family friend got me thinking I should re-visit. Busy and bustling. I feel like Zion needs a bit of a face lift. Good selection of Korean goods but could just use some updates. I think I will still do most of my shopping at Hmart but Zion will definitely be a back up plan. read more

The cashier wasn't trained well so she didn't notice I didn't buy that heavy package....Korean drinks for elderly people even the customer behind me showed up 2-3 minutes later than me. She already added to my transaction and my credit card was charged so I helped them to save time to bringing it home. I brought it back cuz I couldn't drink it next day. Cashier chief front end gave me a bad attitude and impatiently handled my credit back by giving me a slip. She was so rude that she tore my original receipt in front of me. I was stunned by my experience there I thought they're better than other two competitors across beach Blvd but sadly I'm taking my precious time telling you that my limited visits to that store didn't impress me which was recommended by facebooks friend. Not because my standards were higher because I trained cashiers before, I also deal with all levels of governments in food industry for 15 years from 1988-2023, not because I possess a MBA degree. I observed as a 68 years old woman, with enough shopping in my life. read more

Grocery shopping has never been this easy and convenient! Zion market offers wide selection of Korean products, basic necessities, fresh produce, fruits, meat and poultry. I really appreciate how the cashiers are genuinely friendly and nice. I cannot imagine after all those long hours, meeting many customers, some unkind people, yet they can still be kind. read more

not sure why this place doesn't have good ratings... i know the location of this market has high competition as there are 2 other markets across from zion, but my family and i personally love zion market out of all 3. the prices are very affordable here and have a wide selection of everything you can think of. they also have a lot of sales all throughout the year, which is nice. they do have a rewards program, so make sure to download that if you're a regular here. if you get enough points, you can get $5 off reward (or something like that). the workers are very nice here, never had a bad experience here. this place is always clean when i come, which is a plus and they do have a bathroom available for its customers. you just need to ask them where it is, cause it's behind some doors you would think customers are not allowed to pass. read more

The parking lot usually gets filled up fast, so there's no perfect time to really go here, but when you do, you have to drown out the noise from the guy who's trying to get everyone to repent their sins and acknowledge the end of days. The shopping carts are cognisant of the drake meme where one wheel is always messed up, so it'll always be a bumpy trip through the store. Upon entry, theres a touchless thermometer that scans your forehead and sanitizer you can use. The store is pretty clean, there's no stench anywhere in the store like at most asian markets. The vegetables and fruits are usually priced very cheap, but you have to make sure you check for mold and spoiled fruitsband vegetables. Around the fruits, the aisles are pretty narrow, so you can count on getting bumped or having to move carts out of the way. They have frequent deals and sales, so make sure you check their weekly ad on their website, and download their app for rewards and savings. Theres usually a lady in front who directs you to the next available line, and if it gets really busy, the line will wrap around the store, but there are social distancing markers to space you out. If a product is selling by the box or case, they won't let you switch out any of the fruits with another box, you have to take it as is. Also, if you spend a certain amount, they have a weekly item at the register you can buy or are given for cheap, so definitely check that sales ad. The meat is priced pretty good compared to some other Korean markets too. If you bring your own bags, they have you bag the groceries yourself due to COVID. read more

This is by far the biggest Zion market I've been to. Lots of selection. I guess they have too much room in the frozen area though because a lot of the aisles are just repeats of the same foods. Most of the produce are fresh and with the weekly sales they have, it makes everything an even better deal. read more

I went to market in this Monday between 5pm and 6 pm. This one of items i purchased at the market. I had it as light breakfast this morning. But i found out the date is expired!
