Greenland Market

Great place to shop!
It’s super clean! Great customer service!
A lot of condiments to buy!
Great deals and cheap prices for Korean condiments, chips, drinks, rice, veggies, fruits, etc!
Korean ice creams are delicious such as melon or red bean ice creams are delicious!
All their condiments section such as the fish, veggies, kimchi, Californian rolls, etc are very good! Decently priced!
There’s also a small Cute little stores to get makeup at! Korean makeup is my favorite so far!

We bought a bag of brown rice from here last night & when I went to open it I saw that there where tiny bugs inside the bag rating the rice and more kept coming up to the top of the brown rice from the bottom of the brown rice. A four pound bag of brown rice for $ 10 that has bugs crawling inside of it.

I have been shopping here for many years! I liked how they always have great sales on rice cakes, undon, snack and etc. The veg. are fresh and a lot of variety of Korean proudcts. Prices are cheaper than other supermarket nearby. Friendly cashier and staffs who handled my purchases very quickly. Also packed my items right away!

I came here in the morning to buy some groceries. The parking lot was small and luckily there was parking. The produce section was the first thing I saw when I walked in. I would say the prices were more or less the same as other grocery stores. There were food sample stations spread around the place which was nice. I don’t see those often at these Asian grocery stores but I could be late to the game since I don’t live in California anymore. There was a sushi and udon to-​go area, but I didn’t check that out. I thought this place was okay for groceries.

The cashiers are extremely rude. We spent over $ 30 (when you spend over $ 30, you get a free reusable bag), and the male cashier didn’t give one. My mother asked for one and then he just threw it at us. Very rude. Don’t come here-.-

OK. I like this market. Why? Because thid market is like the only market that opens late. I know Hannam and Super H Mart in Diamond Bar closes at 10 PM and Greenland opens for another hour which is always a plus for me.
Well, that’s the good part. But I kind of get annoyed when they are literally ‘open’ and everything I want to buy is covered with a clear plastic bag; veggies, fruits and the meat department. You can still choose to buy frozen meat from the fridge but I wanted to get the non-​frozen meat and they always clean the area around 10 PM or before so I cant never buy them.
So most of you are aware of, you have to have your own grocery bags. You either have to purchase it or walk out without it. But I noticed they put my stuff in that small eco bag sometimes. I dont know when they give that bag out because at times they didnt give me and sometimes they put my stuff in it when I never told them I wanted a bag.
I still like Super H Mart in Diamond Bar, but H Mart is kind of pricy. I cant deny that. Greenland usually has many sales on items that we regularly buy and is often cheaper to buy it here than H Mart.
Parking is never a problem here. I always find parking right in front of the entrance. I just wish they had the meat and veggies out until 11 PM.

At first I kinda liked this market but after tasting the dongchimi (radish water kimchi) & the regular stewed kimchi (the ones made by this market not the brand name ones)…OOOMMMGOSSSH…HORRIBLE!!! I’ve tasted alot of different kimchi in my lifetime but idk wth this was. The dongchimi was like salt water & I couldn’t even swallow it. The kimchi stewed one had an extremely strong clam or mussel smell it was soo weird! I have never had kimchi like this… geez. I felt like gagging. Not to be harsh but it was really bad & I just hope others don’t get the impression that good kimchi tastes like this. I live far away & when I came back to return it expressing my dissatisfaction, the assistant mgr lady didn’t really seem to care & just refunded only the price of the kimchi’s.

Pleasantly surprised by the «to go» section! The have a wider selection of KimBap than the other Korean markets. I’ve tried the Spam KimBap and kimchee KimBap… Tasty! The California rolls are good too and decently priced (a little too much cucumber for me though, I still prefer Awoolim California rolls w its huge avocado ratio). The bibimbap is a great value if you like a LOT of vegetables and the hot sauce is on the vinegary side. (There is no meat outside the egg). I am definitely going back to try all the other stuff on the table. Like the dukboki (spicy rice cakes) with KimBap. I guess they figured out that for single servings that people like variety… not just a whole plate of dukboki for lunch.

Just what I needed for a makeshift dinner/​snack/​grocery load-​up. Friendly and helpful staff. Good prices and selection. Good music. And the produce was good and fresh. I got red leaf lettuce and ate it on the spot. It was clean and fresh.
(I give all grocery stores a pass when it comes to fresh vs. limp broccoli because every place is hit and miss depending on the day of the week.)
They don’t give bags (I’m used to that) so the bagger helped me out by rearranging my produce bags and putting my snacks and garlic into a bag. Thanks! I’ll remember this place.

Went a week ago to buy vegetables for a recipe. Sadly, they were probably the worst quality vegetables I’ve ever purchased. Choosing a bundle of green onions that was not wilting was a challenge :/​I will go to my stand by for vegetables, Hong Kong supermarket down Colima.

I will not give this place business again.
I came here twice to buy ingredients for Korean tofu soup. Everything seemed more on the pricey side to me, but then again, I didn’t seek out any other Korean grocery store before, so I wouldn’t really be able to compare.
Everything was fine, until I found that the dried fish package that I had purchased about three weeks earlier, and opened about one week after purchasing it, was full of mold. It was not cheap and I had actually hesitated before spending so much money on dried anchovies at first. It dawned upon me that this may not have happened, had I put it in the refrigerator. While checking the package, I could not find anything that says «refrigerate after opening». The little sticker in the back that featured English translations did not say anything about that. Maybe you think «duh», but I don’t think so. I have purchased many dried foods before, and none of them has gone bad (and then this fast) before. Hence, I went back to the store.
When I told the store manager, she told me that I should have refrigerated the product. I told her that it did not say so on the package, and so, I didn’t know that. Showing her the package, she and the other associate explained that it did say so in Korean. I’m not Korean, and it is obvious. I then explained that this piece of information had been failed to get translated, resulting in the loss of the product. Upon asking for my receipt, I was told that there is nothing they could do, as not only had the product been opened, but also, it was past their few days of return deadline. Both said sorry, and that was it. The manager walked away then. Bad customer service.
This was a dried product. There is not need for me to think that it needs refrigeration after being opened. The fault is 1) on the side of the importer /​distributor who failed to fully translate crucial product information, and 2) on the side of the store that chooses to sell these products.
The manager did not only not care about my loss, she did also not care about preventing this from happening to other customers.
A good store would have passed the information on to the distributor, would have added this information to the products of this type that are currently being sold, and would have still tried to accommodate the customers by minimizing their loss. One block down, there is Stater Bros, who would do so in no time. So, I left, and stopped by the SF Supermarket, one block up, where I got the same item for cheaper.

Love that they have most of the Korean ingredients I’m looking for to buy to cook. When they have sales its pretty good deals to buy. There are average prices items or pricey if not on sales too. Watch out for price ring up for oranges… Cashier always over charge me for wrong oranges.

The fruits here are good. I just got dinner for my family here at the hot meal area, I got tteokbokki and kimbap with spam and hot dog. They were also selling miyeokguk (seaweed soup) and Bibimbap.
Though while I was shopping I kept hearing birds inside, turns out that a pair was living near the ceiling near the meat area. They were playing kpop loudly though.
They take card.

Stopped by this market this evening with my husband since we were next door at Gam Ja Gol for dinner. I have never been to a Greenland Market but have shopped at a few Korean markets. This market was just average to me. The market also looks as if it is either still undergoing some reconstruction or that they need to update their market because parts of their floors looks different and scruffy.
Anyways, we saw a box of young coconuts of 9 for $ 12.99 in the produce section. We noticed right away that the box seemed a bit damp and so we opened it up and there was some condensation on most of the individually wrapped coconuts. We opened another box and it had the same thing so we decided not to buy a box because that would cause the coconuts to go bad quickly.
We only purchased two items on this visit that I guess would be a fair price, but I bet they would be cheaper at other markets though (but convenience wise, just decided to buy these items). The cashier at the front spoke perfect English and was nice.
Overall, experience is just average, thus the 3 star rating. Don’t really see myself coming back here though.

This grocery store is expensive! A single serving watermelon, one mango, one avocado + one apple is $ 10! For an Asian grocery store that is exhorbant! Hmart is nicer, cleaner, cheaper and the stock boys don’t stand around checking people out.

Greenland Market is a Supermarket here in Rowland Heights, that is your old typical run down type of supermarket. The outside looks like it needs a makeover lol. It’s definitely not your modern grocery store, it’s your old town style grocery store.
The size of the supermarket is decent, big enough for your typical supermarket. Has all your typical ethnic foods for you to purchase. Take a browse around and you’ll probably find something you like and hey it might even be on sale for a bargain!
Overall, just your typical old grocery store, 3 stars.

Not as clean looking as the other Korean markets in the area, but this is the place to go for pre-​made Mool Naengmyun packets, which are those easy-​to-​make delicious packets with the broth, sauce, and noodles to create a delicious bowl of icy cold noodles.
Ignore the «No MSG» signs plastered on the front of the packets, and take a look at the ingredients. If the first few ingredients list high-​fructose corn syrup, it’s definitely time to search for a better option. Greenland Market is the only market I’ve seen with a Mool Naengmyun packets with no high-​fructose corn syrup and some real-​looking ingredients for the soup broth. And of course, it makes all the difference in flavor as well.

This grocery store has a lot of premade food. I really enjoyed the hwae dup bop (sashimi rice salad). It was fresh and crisp. It costs around $ 6. The only bad thing is that it’s mostly vegetables and only has a little bit of sashimi.
This store seems a little bit overpriced. I didn’t notice very much on sale during the week. Most Korean stores have sales on the weekend.
They have an assortment of fish, meat, vegetables, and Korean goods, like candy.

I came on Sample Day, so now I’m a huge fan!
I’m reading reviews on bad produce and all, but everything I saw seemed fresh. I like the variety offered and the availability of packaged Korean goods that make my mouth water. Quite the selection of Kimchi… We were excited to take a look at all that was offered, although we didn’t buy anything. We came in looking for white fish fillets for ceviche, but nothing here was to suit our needs. Instead, they had fresh squid steaks and large beautiful fish of various types, and when we’re ready to fire up the grill we’ll definitely come back. I checked out produce for future Chinese cooking, and there are definitely Chinese produce available.

Maybe their space is too huge, but the place feels so empty and it seems like they don’t have too many items outside the produce section. I will give it 3 stars because the bulgogi dolsot bibimbap at the eatery inside is pretty good; I think it’s their use of sesame leaf in it.
UPDATE: all the eateries are closed, out of business. =(
