Kim's Mart

This place is amazing !! Great service, pricing and selection. When ever in the area I make sure to stop in wide selection of various cuts of meat, good grocery and produce section with lots of variety. Always busy when I have been there but check out is fast and friendly. Look forward to my next trip :)

Rotten Food.
I have purchased their 'packaged pork hock' (found near their ready to eat area near the front) many times probably once every few weeks.

The last 2 times the jalapenos were rotten, and the spoiling was also taken on by the meat as well. I have serious concerns about their food handling and quality of ingredients they use in their ready to eat products.

I will no longer be buying any ready to eat foods from here.

4.5/5 is my rating for Kim's Mart!

Cute little Korean market for those who live in Vancouver. They have a lot of items at really good prices! My mom gets a lot of her groceries here and I have a Korean friend whose family also comes here to get stuff. Last time I got pork belly here for a really good price and it was high quality too. :) The only downside is when they get busy their checkout line backs up all the way to the back of the store! Since their store is small the people lining up might block the side aisle by the fridge/freezers.

At my most recent visit I saw that they have opened another location near one of the Skytrain stations in Burnaby. I have yet to visit that one though.

Wow, excellent service and selection of Korean + asian foods. There is a great variety of korean side dishes, noodles + rice cakes, sauces of all kinds for korean food, spices, and all the essentials for a korean kitchen. You can get fresh produce, as well as meat and fish. Also by the front of the store is fresh roasted yam and corn which is absolutely delicious. On this particular trip the service was excellent. I bought rice cakes and the cashier noticed that they were on the harder side and took me over the cakes to exchange it for a softer, fresher, container. I left happy and will most likely come back again.

Kim's Mart has the best produce in the whole neighbourhood. It is also the lowest priced produce as well as being the best.I highly recommend this shop to anyone who likes fresh fruit and vegetables.

I am impressed with the butcher too- I often get chicken,pork and beef there. They have lower prices than Buy Low's meat counter.

I also like the fact that they carry so much ready made food and fresh specialty products. I am pretty white bread in my knowledge of Korean foods but everything I have tried has been really good.

It is crowded in the store but that has to do with so many customers and so many products....neither are a bad thing.

Good store for picking some Korean snacks and bbq meat. The only problem is that it is quite crowded during rush hour so you will not be able to push a shopping cart through the item. Nevertheless produce is always fresh and staff are helpful to an extend.

This little Korean market has the lowest prices for produce in the area and it is one of the few places in Vancouver where you can find octopus. If you're a pescetarian and you live in Mount Pleasant, this is a required pit stop in your grocery shopping travels.

Duuuuuuude this place is the best! It really works for me because I have a lot of bulk/frozen stuff at home, and I bake so I got my snacks/carbs covered, so what I'm saying is, I just get produce and eggs and tofu, sometimes chicken, and I'm SET! And sometimes I try something that I can't quite identify, with mixed results. Thumbs up.

Narrowest aisles in Vancouver! I recommend NOT coming in at peak times.

I dunno, this place works for me. It's significantly cheaper than Buy-Low, without all the gratuitous junk food temptations (familiar junk food is a lot more tempting).

They don't have raincoast crisps and goat cheese, but for basics this is the neighbourhood spot.

I love this Korean Market. They have a terrific in-store made selection including: kimbap (veggie sushi roll), myulchibokkeum (stir fried anchovy), Yachaejeon (veggie pancake), and Dukbokgi (spicy rice cake). Dinner is served!

I do not have an indoor grill, so I tried placing the marinated short beef ribs in the oven and it was still VERY flavourful. Buy their kimchi in tubs to keep as a staple, it will make a quick meal with a bowl of rice and kim nori (roasted seaweed) which sells conveniently in bulk packages. Their frozen mackerel is pretty fresh as well. And no visit is complete if I do not pick up at least one spicy instant noodle package....

Not getting enough MSG in your diet? No problem. You can find it here, at this well-appointed little Asian supermarket, in a variety of flavoured crispy snacks: jerkey jerkey, banana, octopus. I didn't see any namtog - maybe they were sold out this time.

Naturally, you can stock up on your choco-pies or kewpie mayo. There's a good selection of wasabi peas; some vegies I'd never heard of; and, of course, heaps of sauces to choose from.
