Hats off to Kim's Market! This small market keeps the Davis community stocked with Asian foods and drinks you won't find at Safeway. When I'm in town, this is my go-to for kimbap, ramen, soju and of course Pepero.
You'll probably find the sajangnim (boss), Mrs. Kim, manning the cash register and pointing you in the right direction to whatever you need. She's awesome.
It's amazing how much a small Mom and Pop market can pack onto its shelves. You have got to check out Kim's in downtown Davis!Helpful 18Thanks 5Love this 13Oh no 0 - 2573194Nov 13, 2023
I love Kim's Mart! It's my go-to stop for Asian groceries, snacks, etc. in Davis. This sweet little shop has withstood COVID and a break-in earlier this year! The prices have gone up through the years, but that's understandable considering it's pretty much the only small-business Asian grocery store in town + because of inflation.
Pretty much all of my needs can be met here, and I enjoy their rotating supply of certain goods like gejang! I made ganjang gejang with them and it was super delicious, no stomach aches to be had. Their produce is fresh, and I'm a huge fan of their $2.99 bag of peeled garlic cloves! Makes cooking super easy. They're also the only place in town that always has specific Asian veggies and ingredients, like kaffir lime leaf, lemongrass, thai chilis, perilla leaves, etc. If you're ever looking for something Asian, stop by Kim's Mart for sure!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - Jan 1, 2024
If kimchi is your thing, this is your place. Their house made kimchi and radish kimchi are some of the best. They come in pints to gallon jugs. There are also many varieties of banchan next to the grab and go trays of kimbap and japchae great for quick meals. The mix of merchandise has expanded gradually over the year especially in Chinese cooking sauces and condiments. The fresh produce section is still limited however. I like having a convenient place in town to pick up that one ingredient or something very similar to save me a drive to Sacramento.

One of my go to groceries in Davis! Kim's mart always comes through with the goodies such as the seasoned radish and kimbap. They also accept EBT which is a huge plus for college students. Although it may be on the pricier side, it makes me feel better knowing that I am supporting a local business :)

Wonderful store with fair prices and a large selection of Asian lunch, grocery, and snack items. Grab some banchan (the garlic shoots are my favorite) and fried rice for a nice lil' lunch on the go.

Love this little market. Its expensive but worth it since it's one of few markets in between Davis and Woodland that has Asian specialties. It's quite tight in the store but you can navigate to specific sections with ease.

Do not waste your time or money here. The woman at the counter (presumably the owner, based on other reviews) is unnecessarily mean and rude. She grabbed my card out of hand and slammed it on the card reader. While waiting for my transaction to process she yelled at me even though I had tried to be as polite as possible! Never coming back here!

i freaking love this place. this is going to be my all time favorite Asian grocery store, I am coming here every time I need something. Crazy how I've been here for a year and have not found this place till today. The lady who was in charge was so nice and the place is small but very cozy for you to grab your essentials as an asian lol. They have so much ingredients to make many asian cultural recipes and I encourage you to give this place a chance when you are near the area!

Kim's has been a staple in Davis for many years. They offer essential products you simply can't get at a normal store.
Unfortunately, they have raised their prices. A lot. There is simply no point in shopping here anymore.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
