Seoul Market

Good place to shop when you need to arrange dinner, korean style in a pinch.
Decent kitchen making various pickled, fried, and rolled goods of classic, korean lunch box variety. Also, good choice of dry beers, soju, snacks etc. Produce and meats are bit overpriced, but understandably.
Good little market, yummy kitchen outback. 4 stars

It’s definitely more expensive than a Koreatown market but they have the banchan sides that I’m always looking for. The meat is expensive here but there’s times that I’d rather come here since it’s closer than suffer through LA traffic. It’s smaller here but if feels like it’s family run so I can justify my expenditure.

I’ve been here many a times for Asian snacks, but today’s purchase was an exceptionally different one. I called ahead to ask if they had a wok and they kindly say, «Yes!»
With excitement I drove down with a mission. As I browsed the aisles, I knew some of my ingredients required ginger root and soy sauce. The ginger root was $ 2.99/pound. I don’t normally buy ginger root, but I thought it was a bit steep. Any who…
The condiment aisle was plentiful. I actually found myself purchasing a bottle of deep frying oil. Who knew deep frying oil existed?
In all fairness, I have to give credit to one of the lady customers who I asked to help translate some of the words on the bottles that were written in Korean. She actually pointed out the «deep frying oil.» Could it have been the wok in my hand that gave it away?
Staff are stiff, but humble. There’s 30min parking out front shared by other establishments.
It’s my local Korean go-​to market.

This is a decent-​sized Korean/​Asian Market (a larger mom and pop shop) with all the basic goods. We tried the Korean bbq without the bone (bool gogi), cooked it up at home and enjoyed it thoroughly! Because it’s a bit out of the way from Korea Town (K Town), the beef is a couple dollars more per pound, but sometimes it’s worth it to not have to drive further.

Seoul Market does the job when you’re living in La Crescenta and don’t wanna make the trek to Ktown.
Some stuff I get:
— Kimbap @ $ 5; sometimes it goes on sale for $ 3
— Korean beer (Cass, Hite, OB); 6 glass bottles for $ 4.99 when on sale yee
— Makgeolli @ $ 2.49 and up
— Banchan (side dishes) — these are just ok. Sometimes not so fresh.
— Asian chips
They have meat, fruits & veggies/​produce as well. Fruits tend to be overpriced.
The ahjummas are usually really friendly, even with their broken English.

It’s 3 years later and I still shop here at Seoul Market. They still have a nice variety of all the things I crave but am too stubborn to go to k town for. The only thing that I’ve come here looking for and they didn’t have is kimbap. But that’s a small price to pay since they have virtually everything else from fresh vegetables to marinated meats to your health and beauty needs. One thing I really love about Seoul market are the cute little ahjummas. One in particular (I should really learn her name) I especially love because she’s always so sweet to me and even speaks to me in Korean (very lightly of course).
All in all, as long as Seoul market is there and I’m in the area, I’ll be a loyal customer :)

I really like Nijiya and Marukai for my grocery shopping, but when I don’t feel like making the super long boring drive to LA, this place is pretty awesome for my needs. They are kind of small, but they still have a great selection of goodies to choose from. They have sauces, munchies, and lots of dried foods and seaweeds. They have a section of pre-​made Korean foods like Kimchi, and also a tiny corner of beauty products! Again, I wish they were a bit bigger but still, great little gem!

My go to Korean market when I can’t go shopping in LA. They pretty much have everything here and the meat here is amazing. I always buy my Korean bbq meat from here even though it is just a tad more expensive. They also have a good variety of side dishes and fresh veggies and fruits. Parking sucks sometimes but I some how always find a spot. The ladies are so kind here too.

Limited selection of Korean foods. Prices seem higher than a bigger korean market. Liked the selection of freshly prepared food but again prices are high.

Think of a 99 Ranch but Korean and ¼ of the size without a smelly Fish department in the back and there you have it folks. SEOUL MARKET.
FYI. Seoul is the Capital Of South Korea. The end.

This is a tiny full service grocery store. They have your junk food as well as produce, meat and anything else you could need. The shelves are packed with all sorts of Korean grocery items I never knew existed. Neat!

A great little Korean market, I know most Koreans in the area go here to shop. The owners and workers are super friendly, and they have pretty impressive selection despite not being a huge supermarket. Last time I was here I got my favorite white peach calpico drink and some good ol’ unhealthy Korean cookie snacks. Legit place!

Simply put, dirty, dingy and unfriendly management and employees. Go to Lotte another Korean market further east on the same street, Foothill, instead.

While small, it’s got basically everything we need to stock up on Korean food… We don’t live too close by, but we swing by here every time we go to the in-​laws. Friendly cashiers that have already grown to recognize me even though we only go once every few weeks…
The favorite part of my wife and I? All the familiar ice creams and candies we grew up on… :)

I go here with mah moms quite frequently. They got everythang you need to make Korean food. The fruits and veggies are fresh and are considerably cheaper than Ralph’s fresh fare. The tong galbi (the meat you use to make galbi jjeem) is sooo good here. I always make my mom buy a gazillion pounds of it so she can make it at home. This place carries almost all standard Korean products and whatnot. It’s pretty small with only two checkout counters, but you can’t expect a Koreatown-​Galleria type of supermarket in La Crescenta. The only thing is this place is always fifty degrees below freezing so we try to buy our things as quickly as possible. Or at least warm up a bit in the chip aisle when it gets unbearably cold. Seriously it’s so cold. All the time.

Seoul Market is a Korean store that has every type of Korean product! They had sweets, Kimchi, meat, noodles, fruit, vegetables, frozen stuff, drinks, alcohol and Korean cosemetics. Don’t go in there looking for normal things like Pineapple juice and tortilla chips. One of my friends had the great idea to go to the Korean market for tortilla chips. We actually ended up going to Ralph’s down the street. Anyways, this store is well kept and well lit. The aisles are big enough for you to walk down and everything is tidy. There wasn’t anything out of place. With the large Korean population around there, this market is ideal for those looking for Korean food.
You can park in the shopping complex.

seoul market is a small korean grocery store that has a neighborhoody feel, but stocks almost every korean foodstuff you’d need, from dry goods and condiments, fresh veggies and fruit, marinated meat, frozen goodies, to refrigerated cases full of those wonderful things called korean (non-​alcoholic) beverages with the funny names: bon bon, sac sac, coco palm, yocool, 2%, etc.
my mom vouches for the tastiness of their banchan and kimbap (korean «sushi»). I’d have to agree, especially when compared to HK market in glendale. prices seem similar to the larger korean groceries in LA, but even if they’re a bit higher at seoul market, it’s worth it for the convenience of not having to drive into ktown. they also have a sizable meat counter in the back of the store and a small cosmetics area in the front. you can buy ramen and rice in bulk, just ask the cashier.
there’s a small parking lot shared by the other stores in the shopping center, and unmetered street parking as well.

Their shabu shabu beef is EXCELLENT!!! Yes, they’re a bit pricier than the more of the well known markets like HK market in glendale, but the quality beats any of those market. I’m all about quality, esp when it comes to food! Only been there 3 times so far since I moved to Pasadena but I will for sure frequent this market in the future…

This store is right down the street from me. It’s pretty small compared to HK Market in Glendale and others in Los Angeles, but it’s convenient and close. They have pretty good homemade ban-​chan (side dishes). Their korean sushi with ground beef is pretty good and decently priced. You have to get there before noon if want the ban-​chan to be fresh and if you want more of a selection to choose from. Don’t worry if you don’t speak Korean, I barely speak it and seem to get away without talking like a terrible 2^nd grader.

Not a big store, but pretty clean and well stocked. Not crowded and the staff are helpful and friendly (compared to some other Asian markets in La Canada).
The parking lot is small, so beware and prices are not marked on many of the items (I wonder why ?).
