Sambok Korean Grocery Store in Strip District offers reasonable prices for a wide variety of items. They open early, too. Also, out front of the store you can purchase yummy prepared foods. My favorite is the Mung bean vegetable pancake for $3.00. Dont miss it. I had to take a bite before I took my pic. Sooo good.
Small (I prefer smaller) but great selection. I had some questions, she walked over and showed me somethings. Reasonable prices. My go-to for Korean groceries.
Me and my fiancé love Sambok! We come here almost every week for cabbage and cucumber kimchi, but they have so many other great things too. The chicken on a stick is amazing.
They had many Korean ingredients for so many foods that I have been trying to look for without any luck. Finally I came to this store and they had what I was looking for. I bought some of their chicken on a stick and it was wonderful! I also bought some kimchi that I have yet to try. But I have heard good things about it!Definitely will come again when Im needing more ingredients.
We just stopped in as we were doing a quick one day visit to Pittsburgh from Allentown. Just wanted to say that their Kimchi is sooooo good. We love Korean food and it’s hard to find good kimchi. So glad we got it and it’s sad that we live four hours away but if we’re ever back in Pittsburgh, we’ll definitely be stopping by again.
I just love this grocery store! They always have a nice selection of Korean products and fresh refrigerated goods! I bought their Maxim coffee sticks and I’m in love. Thank you for the kind service! ;)
The owners are so sweet. Every time me and my family go in they treat us like family also. I highly suggest you go visit if you enjoy Asian treats and snacks. ☺️
Chicken sticks, fried rice & bean cakes from grill out front always good.
So happy I came to this place. The selection is wonderful, the layout was easy to navigate, and the owner was absolutely delightful. My nephew and I stopped in for some of our favorite Korean staples and while shopping, the owner brought in a mung bean pancake from the stand outside for us to try. The prices are really quite reasonable as well. I wish we could have stayed longer, so I cant wait to make another visit in the near future!!!Had to stop outside to try the foods... Nephew loved the chicken on a stick, we also shared the veggie lo mein and another mung bean pancake.
I’ve never shopped inside since I have no idea how to make Korean cuisine nor could I read the labels if I wanted, but the food station outside this joint is awesome! Sambok griddle serves up all kinds of delicious dishes. They’re particularly known for their mung bean pancakes which have a custard-like texture to them. They’re very tasty! Love buying a quick bite from here when visiting the Strip.
Always fresh, consistent & authentic!excellent street food!in the store they have the best homemade Kim chi in town along with their bean sprout salad. if your cooking Korean this is a great place for authentic ingredients.always friendly and helpful!
I try to get down here every few weeks. Customer service is great, Ive never been ripped off. Mostly shop for snacks and often find a new treasure amongst the usual suspects. Cant miss the chicken on a stick or mung bean pancake for a real lunch before trying new sweets.
They make the best fresh mung bean pancakes out front. These are so good that 1 is not enough, always take a few home for later. The ladies out front are friendly and take care of you like family.
If your in to cooking Asian food this is the place to go. Im skeptical on the freezer food. It look freezer burnt, but over all I love it.
Great local Asian market!
Good selection of foods and spices at a reasonable price. Staff is always friendly whenever I shop there!
They have the best authentic Korean kimchi in Pittsburgh. Seoul Mart doesn’t even compare.
I love this store!. And the family that runs it
Only business in Pittsburgh that still requires a mask. Meh.
Small Korean grocery with all the essentials. Cook authentic food for take out at the storefront. good selection with comparable prices.
Yummy food, yummy snacks very kind people i absolutely will go again
I love Sambok market, friendly people, good selection. BEST mung bean pancakes and homemade kimchi I have ever had!

Fantastic Chicken on a stick😋🥰
Awesome lil spot in the strip great place to find asian market items including sauces, drinks, new ramen types and even japamese kitkats!!!
Large variety of items to choose from, with incredibly friendly staff.
This is a great store! For their size, they seem to have a huge variety of offerings. The owners and staff are super kind and helpful and their homemade kimchi is delicious! Their outside food stand is awesome and their chicken on a stick is the best! Their prices are reasonable too! It is one of our family’s favorite stops while in the Strip.
Authentic Korean food, staff are so nice
They have the best Kimchi ever I had from markets. What kind of Kimchi you choose, you will not fail.
Great selection. Super helpful and kind staff. I love shopping here.
My first time in this little shop and I fell in love. So much variety, good prices and the outside grill food is AMAZING! The ladies running the grocery and the grill stand were very friendly, absolutely adorable. Cant wait to try all the goodies we picked up and go back again for more chicken on a stick!
Man was helpful even if he didnt have what I needed
Kimchi to die for. Super friendly. Had all the ingredients I was looking for and more. Cant wait to go back!
Hands-down one of my favorite local shops in Pittsburgh. They have an amazing selection of Korean goods. There is also eating utensils and other accessories unique to Korea. If you want food to go, there is a small grill in front selling marinated chicken and other quick-bites. They make kimchi and sides on-site.
Chicken on a stick and Lo Mein are so good!
If you like kimchi, do yourself a favor and buy some of their homemade stuff. Absolutely phenomenal! 5 stars for this product alone!
Love this place
Small Korean grocer. If youre cooking Asian and struggling to find an ingredient I promise theyll have it! Just out side of the shop are the worlds best egg rolls! Dont skip em!
Great selection. Reasonably priced. Very friendly staff. Love this shop. I plan on going here every time I visit Pittsburgh.
Love my trips to Pittsburgh strip dristrict. Lots to do and the people here are amazing
Great Asian grocery. Friendly owners. Love this place.
Great variety of Korean groceries. Staff is very helpful.
Very expensive,two times price of other Asian groceries.
Terrible customer service. Never answer correctly about my questions. What’s the point of answering “If expensive, will you not gonna buy it?” for my phone call and asking about price. Really annoying place.
The man at the counter was very nice, and I was able to find some specific treats that I was trying to hunt down. Its a pretty small store but they manage to have a fairly large selection to choose from.
Great variety of Korean groceries, and delicious cheap food up front!
Best place to buy kimchi,they have a bunch of different kinds and offer vegan options. Also the only place I found my favorite kim
Tiny little store but has a lot to choose from. I love trying different foods, and there are a lot of good items here. Was just down this week and very nice and friendly service, we even got free kimchi pancakes, they were delicious. If had more time I would love to have tried something from their grill outside, it smelled so good. I try get down here as often as i can
While the Asian market down the street is bigger, this store almost always has Shin Black ramen. For that alone, I will make the extra stop. The woman running the store is very nice. I have a short term memory problem. The fact that she has made enough of an impression that its managed to make it to long term memory is amazing in a way most cant understand.
I need kimchi! Lol edited: spell check said kitchen 🤦🏽♀️
Very friendly and helpful staff. Very neat cultural store with lots of varieties
Great little store. Had 90% of what I was looking for relative to Korean groceries.
Nice place. Limited selection. Good kimchee
They sell kimchi and it is one of my favorites. They also have an outside grill with chicken on the stick and different delicious menus. They also stay open kind of late 6:30 or so.
I come here almost every day. Their dakkochi and bindaetteok are some of the best that Ive ever had. Great selection of Korean groceries at great prices. Friendly family owned business.
Very friendly. Gotta try their Mungbean cakes - theyre amazing.
The chicken on a stick is incredible, definitely a great stop for a quick lunch on the strip!
Tons of obscure Korean food ingredients and delicious fresh kimchi.
Loooooooooveeee this place. Is like being in South Korea for some reasons. Almost everything is found here!
Very friendly people. They even helped me figure out the best sauce to use for dukbokki. Their homemade kimchi is the best Ive had, and the food they make outside is the best! I highly recommend visiting here.
Cool stuff
Small Asian market. Decent selection.
Nice ladies. We were just tourists shopping friendly people.
Best kimchi in Pgh!!
The vegan kimchi is AMAZING, and I love to stop here to buy all of the varieties of delicious Samyang spicy ramen! Wonderful!
I love coming here. They even have homemade vegan kimchi!
Owned by a very nice Korean couple, the store is small, but has all the staples for Korean cooking. I get most of my produce elsewhere, but things like perilla leaves, Napa cabbage, and Daikon, etc., I get here. They also have my favorite snacks of my childhood, ramyun... Decent rice selection, banchan and kimchi made in house. They do make/sell vegan kimchi. There is a stand selling fresh food outside. Im not sure when they have it open, as I usually go in the evening right before they close.
Nicest people ever. Great homemade stuff there.
If you need oddball asian ingredients, this the place to come. You cant read half the labels, but it is fun to try new stuff (and the selection is fantastic).
Very friendly Korean family and great food on the sidewalk at lunchtime. They will gladly practice Korean with you.
Chicken on stick and a Mung bean pancake, AWESOME!
I am korean. This is a Korean market that has all the essential Korean stuff I need to live. I am happy.
Its small so it only has room for the basics! But its reasonably priced and had stuff thats hard to find.
Decent asian grocery. Not my favorite, but it would be worth checking out for specific items. Also they have a food stand in front of their store that serves good, standard asian food.
I bought the mung bean pancakes, very good, a bit too spicy, which I wasnt expecting. Very tasty and the price was right.
We love shopping here for kimchi, nori, noodles, and spices. They also run the little grill outside with egg rolls and other Korean specialties for a quick snack or lunch.
Great shop with the BEST chicken on a stick in town!
Very helpful in assisting me assemble ingredients for bibimbap.
I liked it wish had a little more time to look around.but the staff was nice and helpful..
I travel from Youngstown Ohio to visit this store. The owner is soo sweet and accommodating. I buy ingredients to make Kimchi and also buy ready made Kimchi. I love this place.
This is where I get my kimchi (Napa cabbage, sprouts, and cukes) in different sizes as well. Love the kimchi!
Nice variety of snacks and oils!
Great chicken on a stick
Great selection and a clean store
Grocers are always super friendly and helpful.
If its Korean, they have it...friendly and helpful
Fresh
Always have what I need
Chicken on a stick The Best in Pittsburgh
Favorite Korean grocery store in Pittsburgh

Best Chicken on a Stick ever!!
