Kim Brothers Oriental

Great home made items to pick up especially if you like Korean food. The kimchi rocks.
We also bought the the bi bim bop homemade side to put on top of our homemade Bulgogi. If you like Bulgogi they have the perfect beef for it in their freezer section. Paper thin sirloin Great quality especially when marinated overnight in one of the Bulgogi sauces I bought there.
Nice selection of other asain food items. Very clean and the customers and employees were super helpful. Two thumbs up!

As a korean person, I see this place as the best korean market in Tampa. I go here to buy side dish, rice, and all frozen goodies.

It was not an honest mistake! It was rather habitual decieving business.
Frozen dumpling was $ 8.99 but she charged $ 9.99, which has happened 2 out 2 of my visits.
I was charged $ 4.95 for one medium– sized radish. How can it be? The lady told me that it is $ 1.10 per pounds, which is hard to believe (usually $.50~$.70). I asked her“does that mean the raidsh weighs almost 5lbs?”.
She refused to show me how much the radish weighs when I asked her to show me. I came home weighed the radish at home, it was less than 3 lbs.
I was also charged $ 5.95 for 3 small sweet potato. I stopped arguing at the point.
I just don’t want other people to be taken advantage of.
Be careful when you buy items that don’t have price tags and please double check the prices. Make sure how many items you bought. Expiration dates for some items can be very close. Please watch that as well.
I am very disappointed when I see these type of businesses.

Pretty good store. I found banchan tems that i could not find at my go-​to store in Brandon. But it is pretty far from me, so when i’m in the neighborhood, I would need to seriously stock up.
Clean aisles, great variety of Korean food. Two thumbs up.

Great place to go to for Korean ingredients. Probably one of the few in the Tampa area. When you first enter the store, there is a small area to the left with an area stocked full of ready-​to-​go banchan. So if you are feeling too lazy to create your own, they have a good variety of choices right there. I haven’t tried any myself, so I can speak for the flavors, but it definitely looks tasty.
They sell a good amount of kimchi in different size jars. If you bring back the jar, they give you a small discount on your next purchase of kimchi!
Honestly, the selection is good but not great here. If I wanted a bigger variety, there is another Korean store I go to in Brandon. But this place definitely covers the basics. If you’re looking for a spot for some Korean or just general Asian ingredients, you can come here for that.

So far, this is the largest korean market I’ve been to in Tampa area. They do roll Kimbap (korean all cooked sushi rolls) every day BUT you need to get to the store early or they run out! Don’t freal out because you see the sushi roll on the counter. This type DOES NOT need to be refrigerated for a little while. Completely safe & I’ve never gotten sick. Sticking it in the fridge will ruin the rice anyway.
They have a decent selection of side dishes. I have only tried their small container of kimchi & for my personal taste, I thought it was too bland because I like mine very spicy. I do make my own though but I like when I can find a place in town that happens to make it to my taste.
I love getting the asian body scubber but they only have the same brand everyone else in town does that hurts my skin because its too darn rough. I’m looking for a soft one like I found in CA.
As for people complaining about expired things, I am always in the habit of checking every date even at Publix. So, it’s human error & can happen anywhere. Check every package!

I really enjoy shopping at this market. The majority of the groceries are Korean but they do have a variety of other Asian groceries as well. Generally on Thursdays they have fresh kimbap (or gimbap) is not considered fine or fancy fare in Korea, it’s actually picnic and snack food that you eat with your hands. Traditional fillings include seasoned vegetable, egg, meat and/​or imitation crab, but these days anything goes. It brings me back to when my mom used to make this for me & my siblings & now I make it for my kids or just go buy it! They have good kimchi but there were a couple times I purchased it & it was starting to ferment & although a lot of people love it this way, I don’t. I try to stick to just making it myself. The owners & staff are always polite & greet you with a smile! Prices are average but then again we’re in Tampa not a big city like L.A. where you can truly compare.

Mostly Korean items. The prices were a bit high. For a variety of Asian groceries I prefer Oceanic in downtown Tampa.

Stopped by to pick up a jar of kimchi and noticed on the payout counter a bag of rice ovalettes or dduk for soup so I bought one. The next day mold appeared telling me 2 things: 1) there are no instructions on the care of product and 2) it looks like they unfroze a batch of this and stuck it in individual bags for resale.
I went back the next day to show them and ask for an exchange or a refund. They all of a sudden pretended nothing happened and seemed they were offended by the thought that this could have happened. Well it did. Look at the picture, It even says it expires on Feb 20^th. we are 10 days out and it is already molding?!
Just be aware of the shelf life of the counter foods is all i am saying.

I have to admit I love food stores, but this is so much more. Since I am still pretty new to this, I don’t know if the prices are good or bad. I do know roaming around this cluttered store is an eventful experience. So many things to see, check ingredients & try to figure out what somethings are. The furniture, floor pillows… are magnificent and I want some!
I had read about the snacks, so I paid some special attention to them. Wow, what a bounty of unique goodness, I had to get a few to try.
The pans are really cool and they make you feel like you want to make a specialty meal. My problem is I am still learning, but every time I come here I get more adventurous with my cooking.
Stop by and check it out. So many items to tempt any foodie.
What’s a girl to do? Keep scouring aisles, LOL, you truly never know what you may find.

Great Korean market! Such a wide array of unique and fairly priced teas, spices, cooking utensils. The store is clean and organized.

This is one the friendliest multicultural markets I’ve been to yet. I love Korean food and they had a wide variety… I will be returning on a regular …:)

Best oriental market. They have lots of fresh and fantastic inventories. Kindness all around the market.
Please stop by if u want to try marvelous korean, japanese and more asian stuffs. ~,~

Solid place to pick up some Kimchee or some bulgogi marinade. I happened to see this from across the street. I miss the asian market that used to be on south dale and this will serve nicely. small selection of meat and produce as well. its worth a look

The friendly girl working the register helped me go around the store and get the ingredients I needed for my recipe. Very nice and friendly. Look forward to shopping there again.

Great choice for Korean and Japenese food /​items. Staff is very friendly. Prices are VERY reasonable. Great selection of different rice, including bulk sizes. Like Oceanic Market, they are starting to carry more and more organic foods.
They also have some take away, mostly side dishes such as ika sansai (squid salad) and seaweed salad. And of course, kim chi.
Another plus — their selection of sakis and plum wines at great prices!

We love Kim Brothers Market and go here practically once a week! The people are very friendly, and don’t be intimidated to go in because they speak English and are happy to help you find whatever you need.
It’s our favorite place for snacks, but I also love their selection of fresh produce. The Korean pears are amazingly delicious!

I love this place and I’ve recently become a regular for hard to find oriental items. Their selection of noddles. spices, dumplings and even cookware is immense. Their staff is very friendly and happy to help you find anything, and make recommendations. The layout can be a little clustered and confusing, but that also leads you to wandering around and finding really neat things. If you’re passing by Hillsborough and Dale Mabry, swing by and take a look around.

It’s alway hard to get here but always worth the trip when I do because I stock up. Way up.
They have everything you may need from sauces to noodles to rice. Many many Prepackaged variety of noodles which is great for time constraints! Items for the kitchen. Candies. Drinks. Soju. LOTS of Kim chi in different sizes containers.
They mainly have Korean items and sometimes some Japanese items. They have some banchan but the serving is huge for one person unless you’re chipping away at it for a few days!

It is very difficult to find good Asian markets in the Tampa Bay Area, but this is a great place to get Asian ingredients you will have trouble finding in other places.
I come here about once every couple of weeks even though I live in Clearwater. The reason, the bi bim bop package. You can get all the ingredients, other than the rice, in a neat, fresh package that they make. This package lasts me about a week and even includes the spicy bi bim bop sauce. I also get fresh seaweed salad and pickled radishes. They have a great selection of dried seasoned seaweed as well. It is absolutely delicious.
The people who work here are very friendly. They always welcome me when I walk in the door and they are very nice when I check out.
I highly recommend this place for people looking for fresh ingredients for Asian food dishes.

I love this place! It’s nothing like H mart or any of those huge Korean stores but this is all we got in the Tampa area. They have a pretty large area and I prefer this Korean store over the others in the Tampa Bay area.
They have a set area for banchans which I love because who doesn’t love a wide variety of banchans! Fridges and fridges of frozen goodies. Lots of kimchi in jars which I buy every month for the family and myself. They have snacks and all sorts of Korean ramyun. It’s a great place to visit if you want to make Korean/​Asian food because they will probably have the ingredient you’re looking for. Oh, and also Korean and Japanese alcohol can be found here.
I wish we had a large Korean or Japanese department store like H mart but sadly I don’t think that will happen any time soon. If you’re not willing to drive to Orlando than this is the place to go to for Korean goodies!
