First Oriental Market — Local services in Orem

This is a five star place for many of us but I can understand why it might not be for others. I think in many cases it just depends on what you are looking for or expecting. This a Korean store...meaning, it is set up like a Korean store. I go here often, partly just to breath in the smells. I grew up in Seoul and there are many things here that can't be found in other Asian markets. Prices are good to decent. Service is perfect for a little Korean store but isn't quite the same as other more American stores as other reviewers have indicated. I still remember when Milkis came out in Korea. I was 13 and I have never been the same since. No one should have to live without Milkis...so I am grateful to finally have a place to buy it all the time along with everything else...

First Oriental Market is the Korean/Asian supermarket that is our family’s go-to for all of our Korean food recipes! I’m a Korean, and First Oriental Market has everything we really need! They recently re-organized their shop and even added a cute little ramen/라면 corner, which is something that’s been popular in shops in Korea. The family that owns the store is so kind, and while it’s great that the recent opening of Hmart encourages the expansion of various Asian cuisines and cultures, it’s really important to continue supporting local shops like this one (First Oriental Market in Orem, UT)....

This is a small Korean store, but they have quality items and service. They are under new ownership, so previous issues of spoiled food are non existent. The best part about this store is that they make, package, and sell their own kimchi and other side dishes. If you haven’t tasted fresh kimchi before, this is the place to go and try it. All of the factory kimchi’s sold at other locations are super fermented. Do yourself a favor and support the little market!

Also side note, people posting about pictures for the wrong store. It’s not the store who posts them, it’s...
