Seoul Market — Local services in Murray

I love this market! I visited because of the positive reviews from other shoppers. First, it's tucked back on the east side of State Street and just north of 4500 South. You should plan your parking spot based on what time you need to be driving away, because it can be a little crowded with other vehicles and people putting items in their vehicles. It's hard to back up in the narrow space. So, you can reverse out of your spot, then go east through the parking lot driveway until you turn right onto the road. Anyway, it's hard to explain, but you just don't want to be in a hurry because you don't want your vehicle or others' to be scraped as you are turning or maneuvering through.

Then, you will see the pump bottle hand sanitizer on the right side of the double door entrance. Baskets and carts on the right. My favorite items will be described in this review:

On the right, first aisle: refrigerated beverages. My favorite drinks are the small peach carbonated sodas, the carbonated milk (Milki s), Chilsung cider (it tastes like Sprite), and flavored milk in cartons (strawberry, melon, banana). You can buy 6-packs that are not chilled, too. On the left side are the teas and rice. Continuing along, you will see vegetables. Cucumber, squash, spinach bunches, parilla leaves (for making Gimbap - or Korean sushi), mushrooms, and more. I'm trying to remember if there is fresh fish on ice.

Then you come to the frozen foods, where you see the rice cakes in varied shapes and sizes, broth, soups, dumplings, noodles, packed pickled radish + burdock root (for Gimbap), fish cakes, shrimp items. There are round fluffy cake-like moon breads with strawberry filling. The next aisle is sweet and salty snacks, dry rice, canned tuna, caned vegetables, etc. Next aisle is the dry seaweed (snack sized and large sheets to make Gimbap) and bags of mix, for pancakes and doughnuts. There are also many types of ramen in that aisle.

In the last aisle that parallels the other aisles, you will find varying cooking oils, bean paste, sauce for BBQ and other meats, and table top cookers (like a hot plate). I'm sure I must be missing other items, such as the gloves you use for grilling and the scissors for cutting meat. There is also a small freezer for lots of delicious beef in strips. I like to buy a package of beef to make Bulgogi. Along the aisle that includes the two registers, you will see large bags of rice and bulk pasta, fresh made kimchi (several flavors), ice cream sandwiches, mochi, gum, fresh cooked pancakes, bean paste balls (the sweet ones), and Gimbap.

There are beauty or skin care products and non food items behind the cashier counters. They have boxes of mandarins or tangerines in the front as well.

The staff are very friendly and kind. They are so helpful. If they don't have Gimbap on display for purchase, you can ask if they would be able to make some for you. You can also call ahead to request an order of Gimbap. They will answer the phone in Korean but then greet you in English. They play Korean music and have a few posters of K pop idols for sale (BTS). There are some small trinkets, like toys or keepsakes.

My favorite items:

Beverages (the fizzy ones) Parilla leaves Dumplinga Potstickers Honey crisp snacks Moon bread Sliced frozen beef Bulgogi sauce Korean pancake mix Dried seaweed sheets Sesame oil Lotte apple mint gum (xylitol) Mochi ice cream

I hope you'll practice saying hello and thank you in Korean, and then visit Seoul Market. It's my favorite smaller Korean store that has mostly Korean groceries on the shelves. There are a few Japanese candies and stuff like that, but the majority is...

This is a Korean Store where you will find anything and everything you need Korean. This is also the only store where I find items that I couldn't find in other Korean stores. They have good selections to choose from and I think of good if not better quality too. They have fresh fruits and vegetables, wide array of frozen fish, frozen noodles, dumplings and all those thinly slice of meats you need for korean grill or soups. They have canned goods, different types of dried noodles, spices, snacks, various brands of rice, teas, chocolates, home made side dishes, marinated meats, freshly cooked meals and desserts and these are so deliciously authentic. The grocery is not super big but it is very well organized that they were able to fit in all the goods for everyone to enjoy. The store is well maintained and very clean. They have parking spaces just right outside the store. The staff here are very couteous, friendly and very accomodating. A very nice...

My family and I love going to Asian markets so when we happened to find this place (we went next door to purchase Korean twist mochi donuts - yum!) we got excited (food gets us really excited lol). Soon as you enter, the owner (I could be wrong) and another friendly face welcomed us in. We purchased children's chopsticks - one for my 5 year old & another for my 2 year old gs, udon noodles, seasoned seaweed, picked radish, seasoned cuttlefish, maki sushi, and a few cup of noodles. I would have easily purchased much more if I had my wallet in me. Lol. What I love about this place - besides the friendly welcome & conversations, this is by far the least expensive Asian market we've found here in Utah. There's a huge variety of fresh &/ packaged noodles, a huge assortment of pickled veggies, meats, rice, etc., etc. Besides Trader Joe's, I think I've found my favorite...
