Seoul Mart

This shop is very neat and tidy. It’s a little bit expensive. I was surprised from some of the prices. I was looking for a Korean BBQ plate, but gave it a miss. They wanted $ 38 so I went to a Northbrigde Korean shop and got the exact same one for $ 29. I’m not paying a Mercedes price for a Hyundai

Some Asian grocery stores are an absolute mess but Seoul Mart is so pristine and cleanly laid out, you’ll shop here just because of the lovely aesthetic factor. Even the sacks of rice are perfectly stacked out front of the shop.
The products are quirkily packaged, most of them imported from Korea but some, like specific sauces and spices from China, Thailand, Japan and Indonesia too. My favourite section is the dim sum display: readymade and frozen so as to take home for your own yum cha indulgence, and so, so cheap!
And I can never pass up sipping from one of those beautifully decorated soda cans that come from Korea: and there are countless varieties to choose from here which kind of makes Coke redundant.
