Saet Byul Asian Market — Local services in Riverside

I stopped by Saet Byul Asian Market for the first time and found all the condiments and items I needed to create a Korean dish at home.

The owner was friendly and helpful. She had just brought out some freshly made Bibimbap. I purchased a set to bring back and loved the simplicity of it. The fresh and crunchy veggies inside were a delight.

Saet Byul Asian Market is located behind Joe’s Sushi on Van Buren and Magnolia, near Sonic.

They have a variety of ready-made banchan dishes and even sliced meats. They also have a variety of seaweed and ramen noodles.

Overall, I found what I needed - plus a few more items. I know I’ll be back again. I’m happy that my coworker told me about this place and that I won’t have to drive all the way to Irvine’s H Mart for...

Love coming here for some essentials. The have everything you need to make Tteok-bokki (Spicy Rice Cakes) , the kimchi is also homemade I believe and its so good a staple in my fridge. They also sell thin sliced meat which is delicious to have with the thin sliced radish paper they have or the pickled radish, cucumber, or cabbage. They also will sometimes serve homemade kimbap and its SO good. Yum. Hm other things you can find here: mochi, ramen, seaweed, sushi rice, fish cake, daikon radish, konjac noodle, bao, dumplings..etc. Great store. Support local the owners seem very nice and I hope this place sticks around. I only wish it was closer to where I lived by the plaza, I bet it would get a ton...

The prices are excellent, basically no different from the giant H-Marts in Orange County. The selection is well thought out. They know what all the best stuff is. I ask them for Korean food prep advice, and it works.

This is a lovely store run by a family who wants to bring accessible Korean groceries to the IE, a place they love and call home. They are living a good life and running an old-school family business. I like this place.

EDIT: This is the only meat I want to eat. Super clean and high quality cuts. Way cheaper than going to KBBQ. And you can drink at home, safe from the police.

EDIT: They make and sell their own kimchi recipe, and it's the best kimchi I have...
