Concord Korean Market

Friendly and helpful in finding what I needed. Completely stocked with everything I was looking for vis a vis Korean cooking. My go-​to Korean market.

Surprisingly large selection for such a small place. You can also get and meat (not marinated) here that are better quality than at 99 ranch. The owner lady is also super friendly.

Thank god for this place! I call this my go to market when I am craving random Korean snacks or food!
This is small market, they carry just about everything in small quanities. They have beef to small Korean snacks, to freshly made food everyday! I usually go here to get my favorite Korean milk drinks, snacks, and a jar of kimchee!
The owner and her husband are super sweet, very funny, and welcoming. I spoke Korean to her (not really well) and she was super sweet and told me to come back. Um, yes I will! Not only that if you spend a certain amount you get small Korean snacks gifted to you!
This is my definite spot for Korean food!
Tasty Tip: Get the potato stick snacks that taste like bread. NOM

I love this market and all their fun seasonings, soups, and snacks. Came in today after Korean BBQ Plus! restaurant next door wouldn’t sell me just a serving of dried anchovies. The Korean Market to the rescue! They had exactly what I was looking for. Also picked up some kimchi flavored seaweed and some hot sauce.
Our favorite Japanese seasoning (togarashi) is sold here, as are several frozen items and a little bit of fresh produce. They have delicious green teas and wasabi peas! Plus, the woman who runs the store is one of the nicest and most helpful people I’ve ever met. She was working at the Taste of Monument food festival this afternoon when I was in the store, but the man working was also very helpful and assisted me in finding the hot sauce I’d just sampled outside.
Call ahead if youre looking for something specific and they’re happy to check to see if they carry it. They’ll even find it for you in the store when you show up. Very clean with great prices and awesome service.

Love this little market, it’s got me spoiled! Lots of delicious foods, shelved, refrigerated or frozen, as well as useful Korean kitchen items. We got our dolsots (stone bowls for bibimbap) here. Buy some kimchi, or buy the fixings yourself and go to it!

A one-​stop, true mom & pops shop for all your Korean grocery needs.
This place has been around for 25+ years and has always provided my family and me with quality products and wonderful service. They have the best freshly made kimbap and the best kimchi (next to my mom’s, of course)! It’s the only kimchi I’ll eat besides Mom’s.

Great little Korean market with everything you need for making a Korean meal at home. We needed tomagashi a Japanese spice, not Korean, and they did carry it in the store.
The store itself was clean, the staff was friendly, and the prices were very reasonable.

Small but decent place to pick up Korean food, ingredients and knock knacks. When I was younger I use to come here all the time and get candy and chips. Although their selection was small, it was sufficient.
They do sell korean vegetables, Korean pastries, candy, dry goods, ramen, fish and so forth. It’s like a huge Korean market compacted into a teeny tiny store. However they have been there for a long time and been a good staple in the concord, pleasant hill area. Kind of nice not having to drive to Oakland or San Jose to get Korean products.
Only reason they lose a star is because I have gotten spoiled baked goods there before. So always double check and LOOK closely at the bread and mochi they have out. Even the date says the next or following, it does not matter. My friend and I bought something, took it home and wondered why it had a greenish specks. GROSS. Also because they are a small Korean market, price is a tad higher then mainstream places in Oakland or San Jose.

Im happy I found this little korean market… so close from my place. Now I can buy the spicy squid & other stuffs here.

Warning! Do not buy the marinated meats at this store. This past Saturday, we bought 5 pounds of kalbi at $ 9.99/lb. About 2 lbs of the total weight was marinade. There were only 10 pieces of LA style kalbi (thin cut kalbi with the three little bones) in the whole bag. We were charged about $ 60 including tax for 10 pieces of kalbi and a bag of useless marinade.
Furthermore, the meat was marinated too long. When it’s marinated too long, it starts to taste salty and a bit sour. This is probably because it was sitting on the shelf too long.
Luckily, we didn’t buy any other marinated meats.
The other prepared foods are okay including the kimchi.

Aww theyre so nice here. Its just a nice little grimy Asian market. Bunch of random knick-​knacks, snacks, marinated meats, noodles, and Kimchi! The kimchi here is great and always tasting perfect.
3 stars for being everything expected plus another 1 star for good service. The kimchi is a must try.

Honestly, how can you give this place anything less than 5 stars? It’s a goddamn FULLY STOCKED Korean market right in the middle of, what us Walnut Creekers know as, «that shitty street with a bowling alley and a GODDAMN FULLY STOCKED KOREAN MARKET!»
Want to make some kimbab? Yea, they got that wierd ass fake ham in a can. What to make some ddokgalbi? Yep, get your glutinous rice sticks here as well.
You can buy homemade kimchi, teeny little shrimps, kaetnip and all of the odd roots, tubers, vegatation and proteins for your essential hangook eumshik.
And, if you get hungry while you are shopping, there is a little restaurant featuring all of the tasty delights aforementioned. right next door!
The lady working the counter is super nice (not a real strong command of English, so you better know what you are doing) and the stuff is all reasonably priced.

My go to spot to get all my favorite snacks and ingredients when i wanna make my different types of kimchi or the hubby’s favorite snack dukbokki, the ladies here are always pleasant and sweet and helpful when you are looking for something. Love the yogurt drinks you get with your purchase (:

Hankook is the name on this korean market. everything a korean supermarket would carry Hankook has. only difference is Hankook doesn’t have prices on almost all items.
for convenience, it’s 4 stars
for me, not knowing the cost is at most 3 stars.
buys: «champong noodle soup» @1.99 got 2/​$ 3.
–for future eating…
notes:
–parking terrible here. tight spaces.

I love this market. everytime i go, the lady makes me feel like im walking into her home and offers amazing homemade food. Not only do the have homemade kimchee and other side dishes for sale, but they also carry homemade sushi now. plus it helps that her kimchee tastes like the way my grandmother used to make it. I love getting my Korean fix from this place. :)

This store was renamed as Hankook Supermarket.

This place is awesome! I’ve been craving for kimbab and kimchee for the long time so I stopped by got some. The ajumma here was super helpful and super nice. I will definitely be back!

Closest Korean market to home… we came here to get sam gyup sal (korean bacon) because we were going to have korean bbq night at the house. They have a little freezer section for meat but they had what we wanted. We were also able to get a lot of banchan, some kim bap, and other things and have a whole meal! Things are a little pricey but where else are you going to find most of these things around this area? The lady working here is also very friendly.

I’m originally from Texas, where the grocery stores (H-​mart, Komart) are spacious and Texas-​sized and you can get lost in the chopstick aisle for hours.
So when I walked into this store, I was surprised to see how tiny the «aisles» were (i wouldn’t even call them aisles). But diminutive in size it may be, everything you’ll ever need (and then some) in a Korean grocery store was there. No matter how far away my mom is (Asia), walking in the store made me feel at home. They had small packages of pre-​made pajeon and kimbab on the counter, a little section of only-​Korean-​stores-​would-​have-​this kitchen knick knacks, and you could see the little Korean lady bustling about cleaning something or cackling with another customer.
I got my kimchi (which I ate last night… YUMMY), my ramen and my jjajang paste. Later I’ll come back and get my noodles :)
Minus one star for having really expensive banchan. Or maybe it’s a Californian thing… but $ 8 for a small package of dorajee? COME ON!
The lady at the counter was nice. When I spoke my very broken Korean, she didn’t give me the glare of shame, but she accommodated me with broken English. She suggested I go down the plaza to their (?) Korean restaurant, Korean BBQ Plus!, which I think is connected. It seemed to have lots of great reviews, so I think I’ll take my roommate one day and have some good ol’ soondubu and kalbi!!!

Also know as «Hankook Market,» this small-​ish Korean market is packed to the gills. Everything you’d possibly need to cook a Korean feast at home, you can find here — kim chee, jap jae (both prepared and the dried noodles), marinated meat (bulgogi and kalbi — YUM!), seaweed, refrigerated noodles. You’ll also find some strange and odd items — instant rice porridge, for example? How odd and, um, unnecessary (but maybe that’s just me)! We’ve hosted BBQs with meat and all the fixings from this market, so it’s a convenient one stop shop –despite its small location.
At any rate, it was thanks to the storekeeper here that we discovered the Korean BBQ Plus! next door. Both places were great finds, and I’m glad to have them in Coco County.
