Korean Market

My wife and I have been coming here for three or four years. And we absolutely love this place. It has a great candy selection,fresh produce and all kinds of things kitchen wise that were made in Korea. Also recently just opened up their diner that is inside the building. I have not tried it yet but I can't wait.

Korean Market is located on Fairdale off Rittman Road and near Fort Sam Houston. Historically, the Korean community in San Antonio grew when South Korean women married military personnel from Fort Sam Houston and came to America to begin families. I spent about a month in South Korea a long time ago and began to respect and enjoy spicy and sweet flavors of Korean food. The purpose of my visit to Korean Market today was to buy jar of young cabbage and radish Kimchi for a good friend. (Kimchi originally was made with cabbage and spices put in clay jars and buried in the ground for a long time, before refrigeration was possible.) Kimchi can be made with many vegetables, not just cabbage. The quart sized jar at Korean Market is their smallest, but it is a dollar less than a much smaller jar in San Antonio's well-known supermarket. This Kimchi is made for Koean Market and contains no MSG. Korean Market carries close to 50 Kimchi products; I even noticed Ramin Noodles packages with Kimchi!

Amazing little gem! They have so many great items. Finally found the ramen out local grocer stopped carrying! Not only do they have a wide selection of food items there was tons of kitchen and home items. We picked up a little bit of everything. Will definitely be coming back again! Highly recommend!
