Restaurant is not so clean, there is no one who is going to wipe down the table or floor. Everything is self service. Some food is alright but NEVER order seafood noodle. Check the picture below thats $11. They basically throw some frozen seafood from package, put some noodle and call that seafood noodle which took 30mins since she forgot to make one. What I am disappointed even more is the lady who was in charge of order. I complained with the quality of food and she says What do you want me to do? Isnt handful of seafood not enough for you?. Extremely not professional with customer nor noodle was good. DO NOT DELETE THE HONEST REVIEW.

Decent sized Korean grocery store. Many Asian foods, treats, prepackaged goodies, assorted frozen fish, frozen foods, etc.My wife buys prepacked Korean soups and other microwaveable food bowls. Convenient to take to work. Prices are pretty typical.Quick courteous checkouts. Friendly service. Definitely worth a visit if you are into Asian style cooking, or, if you simply wish to try something outside of the ordinary.Highly recommended

Bring a baby to travel it’s really hard to find a dinner that provides non-salty food. This dinner is amazing! They followed my requirement nicely and the food is non-salty at all!! I’m so surprised because a lot of dinners will say the condiments are all preset. I highly recommend the seafood pancake, it’s very authentic!

One of the best and affordable Korean food markets/restaurant in town. Whenever I miss mother (Korean) I go to Seoul Market, they make you feel right at home. This market has been a staple for San Antonio, especially during Covid-19 and the Ice Storm. For the comments below, If you dont like the self service, well you should probably try to become more culturally competent.

I loved the attached dishes however there is a Warning sticker on each item about cancer and lead in product.

One of the larger Korean market in San Antonio, where they carry most of the essential Korean spices and specialty food imported from Korea and locally made. I am actually glad that a Korean market of this size exists in San Antonio as the Korean population is not large from what I am told. This would be the best alternative to H Mart in Austin.

I generally do my Asian Food shopping here (and two other stores.) Their seaweed is often on sale. I saw many people buying them by the packs. I grabbed 5 myself today, and this isn’t the first time I’ve hit this sale. Today I tried out the corn dog stand (Gorae), and wasn’t too pleased. They lost my order, and they tried to blame me for it. They gave my order to another customer, then took it back from him and gave it too me. I said I didn’t care, but I actually was tired of waiting and I didn’t appreciate how she tried to but the blame back on me. The corn dogs were ok: The Crispy Ramen Hotdog & The Mozzarella Hotdog. The sugar gave them a nice funnel cake flavor, the ramen gave it a good crunch, and the mozzarella was straight cheese and stringy (I guess I was still expecting the actual hotdog inside.)

This place is great. My friend and I went to this market to get Korean snacks (which they have a lot of!) and we were welcomed by a very clean and orderly store with a quick check out line. When you order the food here, you have to pay for it in advance at the markets registers. We got our food, and it was so good. Honestly this is our new favorite Korean take out spot, I definitely recommend the Bulgolgi and Soft Tofu Soup. They provide side dishes and a ton of tofu. You definitely get your money’s worth.

How great is it to visit these type of markets because of the diverse amount of product and I just gotta say. If you dont care much for Asian product go for the bread. Indescribably delicious.

This stores Google map site said they had Korean Hot Dogs. Ive continuously have gone back weekly since May, specifically for this one item. Here we are in October and still nothing. I believe its been closed but they have not yet removed the stand where it once stood. And so, I really think Google should remove the suggestion for Korean Hot Dogs in the SA area.

Nice store to shop and I do come back when I can. They can work better on making sure items are priced properly. Main downfall is the Korean corndog stand. It has been closed for a while yet this site still shows open. When will it reopen? I will update rating once it reopens.

Review №21

I just moved to San Antonio and looked for a Korean grocer and came upon this one via a friend’s recommendation. The store is actually very nice and has a big collection of items and produce. BUT! Their price tags often do not match the item or is missing a price tag. Especially in the frozen/fridge section and the produce section. I’m not sure why this is but the item description/price is often incorrect and have to constantly ask the clerk for the price. This is EXTREMELY exhausting and annoying and it’s a shame because I really want to make this my go-to Korean store. Hopefully the owner sees this and makes some changes. I will update this review if I see improvement.

I dont buy much grocery but I come to this stores café to eat once a week or so. Their pork bone soup is an item could be sold out if you go there late. The meat is very tender and fall of the bone, side dishes are always fresh and surprise you, and the broth is full of flavors!

Review №33

I rate this place highly because of the Korean Cafe. I lived in Korea for 7 years in the food at Seoul Asian Markets cafe is quite authentic. For those in the know it resembles a really good gimbop place in Korea, but they also serve a KamJa Tang that is really excellent so to call them a Gimbop place may be a little insulting.They just recently raised their prices due to covid so I havent eaten there since then. But they used to be also the most reasonably priced for what you got. Its also a good Korean grocery with most of the things that you could want. The only criticism I would have is the lack of a dedicated side dish deli. That would make this place the only destination for Korean shopping. They do have side dish selections they are just not as varied as my family would like. If you want more varied side dishes and fresh kimchi made on site every week there is another market that does that

This place is so cute! And it’s open, not sure why Google lists it as temporarily closed. It has a great variety of Korean and Japanese products. They take your temperature as you enter and require face masks and the employees are all lovely! Haven’t tried the cafe yet, but it smelled HEAVENLY as I walked in; will definitely be going back!

Always come here to stock up on all the essential from snacks to a home cook Korean meal. They also have a Korean restaurant attach to the market. There is a menu near checkout and you order and pay there. Take your ticket to the food counter once you are done paying to pick up your meal.

I use to live in Asia back during the Vietnam conflict years. I use to live in Los Angeles after I came back....just giving a reference on my eating a LOT of different Asian foods....,I need to say this is an unassuming restaurant that’s attached to a Korean Market and ..... it’s the best Korean meal I’ve had in 20+ years! The best Asian meal I’ve had in 20+ years. If there was a way to give it 10Stars....I would!

I had heard some good things about this place but I had a horrible experience. We were followed around the entire time we shopped and they tried to accuse my daughter of stealing. After they demanded to search us (and they did), they soon realized that WE DID NOT STEAL. I have never been more humiliated and insulted in my life! I will not be giving this place my business and I’ll be sure to spread the word to my friends & family about this

A lot of Korean products I havent seen before. The Korean Corndog vendor was temporarily closed, which was my main reason for checking it out, so that was a bummer. Prices are a little higher than Im used to, but I also left with a decent haul of snacks and didnt feel like it broke the bank. Going back for sure.

My niece and I went in looking for a type of pastry and upon checking out the cashier said she was told to check her bag that is literally the size of a mans hand. Its a cross body.Really sad that my first experience here was my niece being accused of putting something in her bag. What she did put in her bag was her phone, but the man that was following failed to see that. At checkout we showed the bag and politely declined to complete our purchase. We are taking our business elsewhere.

The market always has everything I need to cook Korean food and the attached restaurant has authentic tasting Korean food. They have 3 different types of MASAGO in various sizes! Which is very hard to find. I come here when I need a fix and no one has ever been rude to me. Do not mistake cultural differences and a language barrier as being rude.

Review №94

This was my first time going to the cafe. You have to order your food at the market first, then take your ticket to the cafe to get your food. I was pretty excited to try it out, I love Asian food. I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi and was a little disappointed. The pork had no flavor at all and it wasn’t even spicy. The Kimchi was great! Actually everything else was great. I give it a three stars because I want to try it again, maybe it was an off day for the cooks. Oh it was during lunch so it was very busy too.The market was great! There were a lot of Asian snacks and soups! I can definitely see myself coming back to get some.

Review №98

Customer service is not one of their strong suits, which I can overlook. The store itself is a decent size with a good variety of items and brands. Their prices are a little high, but compared to other shops it is the most reasonable. The vegetable section was a bit vacant but I did see a gentleman starting to restock as I was heading out. Sadly, the cafe was not open so will need to come back again to see how it is. The cleanliness of the store was decent. Definitely a good place to check out and possibly shop for your dinning needs.
