I would like to give ZERO star but that’s not an option. So here is one lucky star.I understand expired products and overpriced items. What I never can bear is when employee is rude.I waited to checkout line. He was chatting with other customer and that is fine. As I was waiting for few minutes, he pointed the scanning rail. I guess he wanted us to place items on the belt as he was still chatting. So we transferred items in the cart to the convey belt.He was yet still chatting.As he was ringing my items, he was still chatting. No hello or anything to us yet still chatting with previous customer who is still standing there.When he was done, I didn’t even get the total until I looked at the screen for total myself. Then he points credit card machine like, you know what to do.Swiped my card. I took the receipt myself. As I left the mart, he was still chatting with that customer about Covid situation in US and how serious it is.Never going back to that place.

What an amazing store of such goodies. The salesperson was so eager for us to try many different vinegars and even the jams. Very attentive and very insightful. I will order more from them the taste is out of this world. Flavor explosion!!

If youre looking for good quality Korean ingredients and friendly shop owners then youve come to the right place. The staff are very helpful and kind. The prices are reasonable and theres quite a bit of variety (sans fresh produce). I will definitely be returning in the near future! Highly recommended.Since COVID-19 hit Galleria Market been taking orders online and you can pick them up outside the store. The process wasnt difficult or time consuming. I am thankful for the staff taking such pre-cautions. Galleria Market is a credit to Ann Arbor and I wish more stores would follow in their footsteps.They are also selling Cambridge masks which are very effective with filtering pollution and viruses, so I highly recommend you look into these masks if youre looking for a nice mask that will last. Just ask the staff. 😁

I love going to the Galleria Market. I go here several times a month. Jason and his parents are wonderful. Jason is super helpful, he always helps me find something if I cant. If they dont have something I am looking for he helps me find something similar. They have a lot of wonderful food here and friendly service, its why I go back so much.

I love this store. It’s clean, organized & tidy. They do have some produce, would be nice if there were a bit more variety, but I’m sure that’s dependent on customer demand. I LOVE the young guy that usually rings up my purchases, he seems like a truly genuine, kind, and good soul. Always puts a smile on my face!

Excellent selection, very nice staff. The atmosphere is very inviting, lacking the commercialization of other similar markets. I dont speak any of the languages represented, which just leads to more experimentation in terms of the products Ive purchased there. Try their bibimbap.

I love coming to this store!! Decently marked prices for the vegetables and other products. But one of the main reasons why I love coming here are the 2 men that work here. Always so nice and friendly. Also really helpful when I have a question or need help finding an item.

The gentleman working was very helpful when it came to finding the exact ingredient I was looking for in the store, and the Thai red curry I made from the items I purchased was great. The frozen coconut milk is a very nice alternative to the canned version.

Great Korean grocery store.Decent veggies, but small collection. Many Japanese dishes too. Mochi, ice cream, and moon cakes like red bean cake and green tea cake.The home made kimchi is usually the best. No different here. Even bought a single egg cooker for breakfast sandwiches.Yum!

My family recently moved to Ann Arbor from Iowa and were happily surprised to find an Asian market so close to (our new) home. With a variety of stock we could find everything (if not almost everything) we wanted for meals.When Covid-19 hit the US Galleria Market took early precautions to protect themselves as well as their customers. With the aggressive progression of Covid-19, Galleria Market has continued to take safety measures to protect not only themselves but also thier customers. They have turned to an online order and, pick up by appointment model. This has been an attempt to keep the employees as well as the customers safe. I as a paying customer I appreciate the painstaking precautions that the store is taking.Instructions for shopping can be found on Facebook page along with tips on how to help expedite the process. As of the time of this review the owners have made it clear that they are not comfortable opening the store to shoppers until there are zero new cases for a minimum of two weeks. As this is a family own business I do not think its unreasonable. They need to keep themselves safe as they do not have the backing of a huge chain store.My family and I will gladly continue to place online orders and pick up by appointment to keep this wonderful store in our community.

Review №30

During a time of covid, with such a rudimentary inventory posting attempt, I find the public shaming of people who dont completely understand the proper way to order really shameful.Cast an eye towards the ridiculousness of your inventory system before you cast stones at people who are trying to support your business during difficult times.Done shopping here.Also, in reference to the owners comment on this review, definitely shows immaturity and lack of respect.

The guy who I talked to was very helpful. If youre in the Ann Arbor area and are attempting to make your own sushi, this is a great market to shop at. They have everything you need from the chopsticks and plates to sushi grade tuna and short grain rice.

This market is predominantly Japanese and Korean food. Lots of selection and proprietors are wonderful people. Fresh produce section is almost non-existant; however not much margin on fresh, so I get it. Lots of fresh produce markets around to check out.

This is a really fun Korean-focused Asian grocery store. They have a pretty good selection of things, from snacks to ingredients, and even a decent selection of kitchen wares. When we bought our rice cooker there, the sales person helped a lot, and was very knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

My favorite Korean market.

Great store. Cleaner and more organized than many Asian markets Ive been to around AA and East Lansing. Obviously highly skewed towards Korean options but they cover all of the basic needs.

Review №38

This is hands down the best Asian market Ive ever been to. I like that its family owned and run. The son who works there is a true foodie who knows everything about the products they sell and goes out of his way to answer questions and share his knowledge. He spent about 15 minutes educating me on the nuances of rice after the store was supposed to be closed. Obviously a true professional who loves what he does. Hard to find that level of service nowadays. Everything in the store is also fresh, high quality and reasonably priced. I always stop in when I have the chance.

Feb 2018 -- One of the largest Korean grocery markets in the area. Good selection of produce and foods. Parking is a little tight during rush hours and sometimes the checkout is understaffed but the owners are very helpful and friendly.

Review №55

The nicest people. Today one of the workers gave me a really truthful answer about the kokuho rose rice I wanted to buy, saying that Costco carried it but they didn’t. So I bought a different brand there partly because there are too many Costco like stores and not enough where you can buy a veggie bi bim nap kit, fifty kinds of rice, legit kim chee, and see other asians in Ann Arbor. When I went to check out he silently handed me a gift of disposable gloves, just the kind you would use for chopping jalapeños. I have contact lenses and would really use these! And btw Nishiki is better than kokuho. This is the kind of thing that can only happen in a family business so please support this one.

Review №56

This is the cleanest, brightest and most organized Asian market I have ever come across. The prices always seemed reasonable to me and nearly every package had a English label (or sticker telling me what the product was). I never bought much of their produce beyond the occasional bunch of green onions but the produce always looked nice. One of my favorite items there was the store-made kimchi! I would buy the big container and eat on it for a fortnight or so. All in all, this is such a quality establishment I would sometimes call it the Whole Foods of Asian markets!

This place is dangerous if you are short on time, and I mean that in the best possible way. If, like me, you find yourself wandering in if not out of curiosity then because it is the most likely place to get great ingredients and spices that you could not find in your local supermarket and for pretty dang good prices then be prepared to walk wide-eyed through every isle(sometimes twice) in your attempt to figure out what all they carry and how you could possibly use it to cook with. Galleria is great! I usually go in looking for something small, specific, like dashi, and walk out with mochi, kimchi, red bean pastries, and about five different kinds of soy sauce. Very cool place, and really nice cashiers.

A well established Korean supermarket, with a nice, large, clean, well kept space with lots of variety. Including alcohol, so they sell imported beer, soju, sake, liquor/liqueurs. Fresh produce. The man who is always there, who I presume is the owner, is so so friendly and nice.

Review №71

Way overpriced. I usually buy frozen squid (calamari) in the bags of 2. In other Asian stores, the price is 4.50$ a bag. Here it was 9.95$ for the same bag. So basically twice of what i usually pay. I have seen couple products with bad expiration dates. Not much fresh produce.BUT Store was clean and staff were nice.

I was initially surprised at how small this store is, however after driving out to a couple mega Korean stores and not finding what I needed there I have to say that this little store is simply amazing. The employees/owners have been very nice. The older gentleman gave me some Soju cups after asking me if I had any. I said no and he says you need cups if youre going to be drinking Soju, here! I drive out every other week from Redford even though I have other options a bit closer.
