Our family has been going here since 1985 and we love it.Hyundai has so many awesome products including home made Korean food items.It is located close to Fort Jackson so all you soldiers who served in Korea can easily head over and get your Korean food fix. There is even a Korean restaurant right next door that serves authentic Korean dishes.

This store is awesome! Very well stocked with everything you need from instant noodles to sauces, starches, seafood and more. They make their kimchi in house and it is amazing and delicious. This is the best Asian grocery store in the Columbia area, probably in the whole state.

I can find what I need and more here. I like the variety of things you can get here. Though I usually get food staples for certain recipes from here, they have fresh foods and frozen options too. If you need containers or utensils, they have that also. This has been my favorite Asian grocery store for over a decade.

Good little oriental food store. Its located on the corner of a strip mall near the restaurant, Kimchi, you could miss it. It smelled delicious inside. Very good selection of korean chili powder, as well as napa cabbage and daikon for your DIY kimchi ingredients. They also have in house made goods and lunch specials, I bought the kimchi pancakes and cucumber kimchi. They have a good variety of sweets, candies, gummies, Pocky and rice crackers. The gentleman behind the corner was nice and gave us this little Korean drink, it was delightful.

Ive been a customer of this place since 2004. I agree that this grocery store is the best in South Carolina in terms of service, quality and taste. Youre correct and Kimchi is the best and genuine. Its even better than Atlanta and as good as LA or South Korea.

This is a hidden gem. Small but has a great variety of things you wont find anywhere else. Staff if friendly even though English isnt their first language they are helpful. I always enjoy my visits here. If you havent been you should try them out and make sure to pick up some of their made by hand value added items right near the register.

I came here to get some of the sweet bread for Dia De los Muerto. The bread was made fresh that morning and it was Goooooooooooooooooooood. It also was a big hit for my Job event which was to celebrate Day of the Dead with my group known as Diversity and Inclusion. Im glad the product was available at so little time I had. I will definitely be back later this year

I went there for the first time and was incredibly surprised by their variety. There was a good selection of quick to make noodles and ingredients to make good authentic Korean dishes. There were bamboo steamers and rice cookers. They make lunch boxes and have ice cream mochi and a large selection of cool snacks like yogurt and ice cream. They have fish including squid. And even sell rolls of kimbop for cheap

Review №54

Its a great spot for what it is: a no-frills, local Korean grocery store. I love the house made kimchi; while I cannot attest to its authenticity the owner tells me he ships orders across the country to people who also believe it is very good. They have a very wide variety of ramen as well.

This is the best Korean grocery store in SC for sure. They have whatever you might need in terms of packaged goods, but the best part is all of the wonderful food they make in the store. Many types of kimchi, including cabbage and cucumber. Japchae, various rice cakes, fresh duk, spicy squid kimchi, bean sprouts, gimbap, and sweet baked goods. I LOVE this store.
