Final Edit 2025 0204 171137 Shop at...

Occupying the side of a now-defunct mall, MEGA Mart is an Asian supermarket in the middle of nowhere. Though the location is off the beaten path, there's parking galore and space enough within that Mega Mart can respectably put its ring in the hat with other major Asian grocery stores like Assi Plaza and Hmart.

Inside, there's a lot to explore. Along with the standard produce, meat/fish, and shelf-stable aisles, there are two tiny food courts, each with a few tables. The one we chose had only two things on their menu - bibimguksu (cold, spicy mixed noodles with cucumber and an egg) and janchi guksu (noodles and julienned vegetables in a warm broth). We chose the cold noodles with low expectations, but I was surprised at how tasty the sauce was. The other mini food court offers a slightly larger menu of Chinese-Korean cuisine, such as jjampong, or black bean noodles.

Those aren't the only ready-to-eat options here. A long table in the middle of the market offers all kinds of rice cakes, kimbap (Korean rice rolls), and even some traditional blood sausages. Around the corner, there's another dumpling stall that offered a variety of steamed buns (veggie, meat, spicy). We partook, of course, and found them to be delicious snacks as we wandered further through the aisles. It should be noted that all of these eating options are sub-contracted proprietors, so they'll each have their own checkout area apart from the main market.

The largest ready-to-eat section is Basquia Bakery, who is a new tenant of the corner space. It takes up a sizable corner of the market and there's an admirable bevy of cakes, pastries, and breads. I chatted with someone who worked there (possibly an owner or manager) and when I made mention of the tantalizing options, he seemed apologetic. "We're still moving things over from our last location, so we're actually only offering a fraction of what we'd like to get in here," he said, gesturing at the (few!) bare shelves. There are a good number of tables and chairs here, as well as a small caffeinated beverage menu.

Finally on weekends, there are lots of ladies offering hot samples, so if you visit then, that becomes yet another option for...

Do not buy the buns if you've enjoyed them in the past!! They have changed the recipe. It is flavorless, a different recipe, smaller, less filling, and more expensive.

Whenever we needed to go to the Korean market, Hmart was on the way and prices were very comparable to Megamart but we went the further distance just because they had the most delicious, fresh buns which we've been buying for three years.

Bought 2 non spicy and 6 spicy today since my family enjoys them so much. To our disappointment they taste nothing like the ones in the past. Feels like I wasted $24.00 expecting them to be like the ones in the past.

Non spicy tasted like absolutely nothing. It lacked the flavor or seasonings.

Spicy used to be generously filled with a spicy meat, veggie mixture that had the perfect heat with a savory flavor. These new ones, supposedly kimchi and meat, tasted like bland kimchi, pureed tofu, and no meat.

Food costs go up, I understand the increases in prices but why change the recipe, skimp on the filling and size too?

Sorry Mega Mart, it's now not worth the drive to shop there. I will be sticking to Hmart.

Btw, those looking for kimchi. Hmart's house kimchi brand "Harvest Kimchi" tastes far better than Megamart's brand. Megamart's is spicier with no flavor. I've thrown out a whole container because it was just...
