Han Yang Market — Attraction in Austin

Yesterday, I decided to go check this market out. I was planning on my first attempt at one of my favorite things: pork bulgogi. Although I had most of the ingredients for the marinade, I wanted to make some soybean and chili paste as a condiment and did not have those things. First of all, the store is well-organized, well-stocked and the staff are very friendly. I do not speak or read Korean but the store shops very intuitively and I was able to find the things I needed quickly and easily. The absolute icing on the cake for me was that I found some pre-marinated pork bulgogi in the meat section and (after confirming with a store clerk that it was what I thought it was), I grabbed it. Whoa, baby, am I glad I did. I grilled it up that night and it was a huge hit with my family.

I will be back again and again. Funny, I only checked it out because I didn't want to drive all the way to M.T. Market up North (a favourite of mine) and I found many things here that were unavailable at the larger market, or...

I've been living in Austin since 2011. I probably started shopping at Han Yang in 2011/2012. The two cashiers/managers have been there this entire time and they're always polite and nice.

The store selection has slowly gotten better over the years. And with the opening of hmart in the last few years, they've done a good job of staying competitive, I think. This is a great neighborhood Korean market and if you're the kind of shopper who just wants to shop quickly, like get in and get out, this is the right place for you.

The neighborhood is fine. I saw a review saying this market isn't in the best part of town and idk what they mean by that lol I live down the street and it's...
