Kim's Mart

It is your standard Asian market where the aisles are tiny, the shelves are stuffed with products, some produce don't have the English translation, and you can't figure what the price is for the item because there is just sooo much going on

The prices are definitely cheaper than H-mart. The kimbap is something you need to get! Also if one of the flavours are empty you can ask their employees and they will get you more. They also have their own kimchi which is delish as well!

I would totally recommend you check the supermarket out and support local!

Always fun to shop here. They have things many other places don't. Their meat especially is great quality. The prices are normally higher and we only buy sale items.

They have cheap kimbaps which are now slightly smaller than they were 2 years ago.

Wife and I are a fan. I think we might have found an HMart replacement. Prices are comparable or even cheaper. More selection for certain items. Did I just say that? Kimbap are affordable and yums. Definitely worth while going in. The aisle are tight and small but lots of stuff. They also have an aisle of Filipino snacks and goodies.

Small, Korean grocery store located in the same building as a Japanese convenience store. Good selection of (mostly) Korean snacks.

-1 because it's small, a little dingy, and sometimes the produce isn't the best.

Overall a decent neighborhood spot for Asian groceries.

Great place for Korean foods, also various seaweeds, also fresh vegetables at prices much lower than nearby supermarkets.

Same great rating for Kim's Mart. This is the place that we seem to have to make that monthly trip for certain items either because they're priced better than the rest or ya just gotta go there. I really like the familiarity of the place, it's narrow aisles and the sound and sensation all make for the perfect experience of a traditional Asian market for me. Like I was transported to Korea for my grocery shopping. Parking has never been an issue when I went . But you know what? What....
So the ultimate reason for traveling all the way into this area to shop, is for the rice. Yes I said it, the rice.

I liked that they have smaller portioned veggies . I love their Kimchi and their side dishes. They used to have slabs of frozen pre shredded immigration crab which I really loved but now I can only find a thawed out at other Asian stores . This place is a bit cramped but korean grocery lists will be checked off here.

This Korean supermarket is quite convenient for the local people to do grocery shopping. Pricing is reasonable.

There is street parking and a few parking stalls at the back of the supermarket.

The supermarket is not big, so all the aisles and shelves are quite tight in general. Whenever you walk, you would have to wait and let other people walk (for being polite).

They sell different types of veggies, fruits, meat, fish, seafood, soy products, dried food and etc. They even sell some cooked food like marinated Korean veggies, sushi and etc.

I would highly recommend for doing grocery shopping here if you live in the neighbourhood. Fresh food at a cheaper or reasonable price!

If you live in the area (Fraser/Main and Broadway), you're lucky to have this in your hood. For us it's a destination shopping experience (ie. we usually have to "plan" the trip).

What's good here? The meat. Whether you're going to do bulgogi, hotpot, BBQ on the barbie, or just pan fry a few things, the selection here is excellent. The only main thing missing for me is sliced lamb meat which another Korean meat shop on Kingsway offers.

I love the bacon on my barbie by cutting them in half size, sprinkle with tiny bit of salt, and just brown both sides. Try not to overcook them as that will harden the meat.

The rib eye sliced beef is perfect for bulgogi. You'll have youtube the recipe for marinating, or you can try the Korean route, which is no marinating at all, and just dip in a simple sauce with soy and sesame afterwards.

In a hurry? They also sell marinated pork/beef. Just throw on the pan at home and in minutes, you have a dish that's as good as the restaurant's.

We buy the occasional vegetables, but tend to stay away from the fruits as we have had a few negative experiences with them. So just note that some items may be cheap, but they're cheap for a reason. Buyers beware.

We also like their selection of grains. You can buy quinoa here for a reasonable price.

And yes, keep an eye open for sale on Shin ramen. Simply the best.

Came here for two things only: $2.59 bag of yams and a big bag of brown rice. They have the best deal around for rice; I think it might even be better than Rice World (yes it's actually a thing). I got a 15lb bag of rice for $11.99 and the regular price was $24.99. Score!

I love this store. They rearranged the freezer area which was really appreciated because there's usually more congestion in their previous arrangement of things.

Not the best price on everything but great deals on a lot of stuff.
