I was shocked,

Update, this happened on Friday, August 30th, 2024 between 7-7:30pm.
when I went into the restroom to pee, someone was in the stall and it was really loud.
The sound of pulling out the toilet paper was loud, and even if it came out, He left the rest room without washing his hands.

The person in was an employee of the store, and even brought a black apron into the private room.
Surprisingly, the Spanish-speaking employee worked in the meat department.
The employee took a poop, left the room without washing his hands, and even brought his apron into the room.

I was traumatized. I couldn't buy any meat that day.

I will never forget the face of that Spanish speaking employee, I am still in shock.

Store managers and owners, please retrain your employees to wash their hands after pooping.

When the cashiers were all crowded, there was one place where no one was lining up, so I went there and understood why there were no people lining up.
The elderly Korean female cashier was completely silent.That may be normal in her home country, but this is America, so surely it's okay to at least say thank you?
I don't ask for excessive service, but when I buy something, it's normal to say thank you.

It's a Korean 🇰🇷 market, but they also sell Asian food, Japanese, Chinese, and of course American food.There are ingredients I've never seen before, so it's really fun. There is a wide variety of rice available, and I always have trouble deciding which one to buy.There is a wide variety of vegetables, meat, and fish. There is also a wide variety of frozen foods.Every time I go, I have a hard time deciding what to choose.Also, there is a wide variety of tableware, and there are things I've never seen before, which makes it fun.Prices seem to be set reasonably low, and seasonal items are especially good value for money.

Clean! Selections! Location Hankook Supermarket is, without a doubt, the best Asian grocery store in the South Bay.

See how many different types you can find on pretty much every Asian culture staple - RICE! You get different types white or brown, less than $9.99 for a 15-lb bag, this is cheaper than what Costco can offer on a per pound basis.

Other Asian staples such as tofus are $1.29 (versus $1.69 elsewhere), one of my favorites is fish cakes that I add often to instant ramen are $6.99 (regularly $9.99) for a 2-lb bag, there are always several specials to be had. You can't find better prices on toasted sesame oils which are frequently displayed at the front of the store right in front of the cash registers.

Hankook Supermarket is a fantastic spot for anyone looking for a wide selection of Asian groceries, especially if you enjoy Korean cuisine. The produce here is consistently fresh and of high quality, making it a go-to for my weekly shopping. They have a great variety of items, including fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, and meats. The self-serve bar filled with marinated side dishes (banchan) is a highlight, perfect for anyone looking to grab quick and delicious accompaniments for their meals.

A couple things to note is check-out can be long at high times and while Hankook has an impressive selection, it doesn’t always carry some of the Chinese-specific items I occasionally look for, like tofu ring rolls. Still, I appreciate the quality of their fresh noodles—I've never had issues like I have at other markets. Plus, the layout is spacious and easy to navigate, making shopping here a pleasant experience.

If you're nearby and looking for quality Asian groceries, Hankook Supermarket is definitely worth a visit!

Superbly setup, massive Korean supermarket.

Has just about everything you’d need for a Korean family. Or not.

Parking is a big challenge.

Outside of that, it’s all pluses. Plenty of wild fish. More kimchi than you can point a stick at.

Well stocked meat section perfect for cuts for Korean barbecue. Highly recommended by my Korean friends.

Extremely good customer service. Great prices. Even a mini Korean bakery inside. Hundreds of bottles teas.

Grocery price is the cheapest I have seen among other Asian grocery stores in town however, I recommend to buy pantry items only.

I got a few typical leafy greens there because they look so fresh, however the tastes were off. They are either unusually bitter or tasteless compared with the same veggie I got elsewhere.

Large selection of groceries and hot Korean food to go! I prefer this place over H Mart. Hankook sells Korean food and groceries unlike H Mart that wants be more of an Asian store instead of a Korean store.

Huge market with Korean specialties. Have different smaller stores inside for clothing , bakery etc. Very well maintained. Bakery is pricey.

Bought some beef and from the top it looked like a mix of lean meat and fat. The piece underneath that was hidden from view was basically all fat.
