Update on my previous bad review. This little market is a gem. The staff - especially at the counter are great. The store has amazing authentic East Asian food items: dumplings, and frozen deserts, fresh vegetables and fresh Korean dishes.

Ready made meals section, was lovely! Gimbap, japchae and other set meals were adorned! Their banchan selections and other cold dishes are amicable too. I went gaga over their variety and small bite sized items. Fresh produce and adequate Korean themed groceries are available here. If one is craving for some side items or Korean BBQ supplies, shop here! It'll fulfill the fix.

Woo Ri Market has the best kimchi you can get in San Francisco ... if not the whole Bay Area? ... if not in the entire US? Seriously I used to regularly go to Ktown when I lived in LA and even then I don't feel like the kimchi anywhere down there was as spicy, funky, fizzy, tangy as what you get at Woo Ri. I'm obsessed. I should have bought multiple jars. I will next time. Everything else there is totally fire. This place is your go-to for all things related to Korean food and then some. The soju selection is legit. And then of course there is the fermented crab. 100% get this. What I'm saying is that Woo Ri Market has dramatically improved my quality of life and it will do the same for you.

Very freshly stocked store for Korean goodies. I bought sweet potato noodles to make japchae and dried shrimp. They are both great.

Love this market! Probably the best korean mart in the city that sells everything Korean you need, and they're always playing korean OSTs, my favorite. The kimchi is great, and the prepared foods are fresh and delicious too. The meal kits are super convenient as well. The staff are really friendly!

Ordered from their catering service which was a lovely experience! I thought they were very efficient and the pickup was seamless The beef & veggie kimbap, japchae, chicken, bulgogi were all seasoned really well and tasted authentic. I did think the kimchi fried rice was just ok since it was missing the deeper flavors of Korean peppers, pepper paste, and more but still ok! Would definitely order again!!

Loved this place! There was such a large selection of Korean snacks and food (everything from fresh veggies, meats, snacks, drinks, etc.). The veggie gimpab was also delicious with plenty of filling relative to rice. The staff was also very friendly and very efficient with checkout! Highly recommend to check out this food market.

I have serious concerns about a seeming lack of food safety precautions, and I actually had a bad reaction when I went back to try it again (because of rave reviews). They keep the kimbap on a surface that's slightly warm, and you don't know how long it's been sitting at a temperature that the FDA calls a "danger zone". The veggie might be ok, but the beef and the fish kimbap can make you sick if it's sitting at that temperature for too long. Would be better if they at least placed stickers saying when they were made, or kept it refrigerated like packaged sushi at other markets. It was a mistake to go in the afternoon. That said, their kimbap tastes good.

One of the best places in San Francisco to stock up on pre-prepared food for the weekend. A staple in my diet. This Korean market has been around many years and has just gotten better and better. Also has a great drink and snack selection. And, the frozen meat freezer includes great thinly sliced beef and really, really good pork belly. It's only a block from Japantown, so conveniently located for a combination shopping trip. I highly recommend their popcorn chicken, Gimbap, Tteok-bokki, kimchi fried rice, their soups, and, well ... everything else they make. Delicious!

My favorite Asian store to visit while in SF. They have the best fried rice. They also sell other premade hot meals/bentos.

Quite a small place but it packs a punch. For someone who's starting out in Korean food to someone who eats it on the daily. They have frozen crab, sliver meat, multiple types of kimchi. They also have ready to eat meals. It's packed with food to the brim. There's always a long long line around 1 pm to close. Definitely one of the best Korean markets in the city. It's up there with hmart!

Great location for Korean / Asian groceries. Love getting my vegetables here as it’s worth it. The meat is a little pricy so I never got it, but other things are well priced

This tiny market is on Fillmore and Geary, really close to the Safeway around the corner, a couple stores from Subway. The store is conveniently walkable from my mom's, so I help her shop here, in particular during COVID times when having to take the car to shop and stand in lines weren't particularly appealing to me. We normally just bought a couple of items. It's good to come if you forget last minute ingredients also. I've purchased frozen dumplings, tofu, squash, and the ready to eat stuff that gets prepared from their kitchen across the street, gets replenished on their shelf ie sushi and rice and noodle bowls. They have side dishes that would be a good supplement to your meals, too. I found some of the stuff to be a little pricey, but prices have risen the past few years and rent is high, so it may be necessary. Lots of snacks, too. i love the shrimp chips.
