3 reviews for Choe's Oriental Food Market
You can actually get hot foods here cooked to order, but unless you are Korean you probably wouldn't know that.
P.S. They do take credit cards, that's all I use.
I agree with Amy. This is a small grocer with primarily Korean items. There is rice, noodles, boxed sweets, frozen & refrigerated items. There are also things like Rice cookers, videos, calendars, etc. They have kimchee, and a variety of other refrigerated items, such as bulgoki (4.49 per lb.), anchovies w/ sesame seeds, squid with sesame, and spicy zucchini, etc. They do catering and can make many different items also, but didn't provide a list or costs. Dana G informed me that you can in fact get some hot items here (it'll be worth a trip back!) Prices are higher than your typical "OMG that's expensive" asian store. As far as I know this is the only actual Korean Market in HBG. Closed sunday & monday & accept cash, debit and credit cards.
This is your typical, slightly disorganized Asian market. It isn't very big, but there's a little of everything. There are about three aisles, they have a few refrigerated sections as well as frozen. You can get instant noodles, canned items, things in jars, things in bags, etc. My kids love the little cold cans of peach "juice". There's a lot of stuff - some of it looks a little dusty. A large amount of it isn't marked with price tags and some containers don't have any English.
Here's the reason for going to this place - KIMCHI! They have great pickled/fermented items. They have several versions. I crave their kimchi. You can pick up everything from LARGE jars to small things that are about a pint. I also like to peruse the offerings in the small "take out" type containers in the little self-serve fridge near the checkout counter.
