Seoul Mart — Local services in South Townsville

This is a great place to go for all of your Korean and Asian goods. The store owner is extremely friendly and if there is something you can't find, she is always willing to find out if she can get it in for you. I really hope that this store continues to exist for a very long time, as this is the only place in Townsville where I can get a lot of my items for cooking my Asian-themed dishes.

Over the years the store has doubled in size with expansions, and the prices are great with fresh veggies are normally priced cheaper than the store. There is a range of ingredients including packaged, fresh, and frozen. Be sure to follow the Facebook page for updates as well for when specials happen, and also when special orders or new products come in.

Highly recommend...

The owner of this shop is definitely as nice and helpful as the other reviews say. I wanted to make myeok Guk (probably spelt wrong) and he ran through all the soy sauces for soups, the process, recipes for other dishes and more! I felt much more confident in what I was doing! I hope they eventually jazz up the store outside a bit more as I did find it a bit hard to see from outside but inside it's Korean grocery galore. Such a cute little hidden gem with cultural goods and...
