Hangook Market - Tampa, Florida

Amy Plazas

This was my first time in an Asian market and I was so in awe that my fiancée wa a laughing at how happy I was.
I enjoyed my visit, they had PLENTY of stuff, you have many options for majority of products and the prices are decent for these sort of specialty foods.
Can’t recommend enough the kimchi. Ugh? it’s delicious, it’s fresh and it’s everything you need for to be happy.
We got the pleasure of getting a small ice cream after paying for our stuff and the lady at the cashing out was extremely polite and helpful.
Definitely coming back ❤️❤️❤️

It's easy to miss the turn off of Hillsborough.
Mostly Korean food items. Very clean and organized but I was looking for some Thai, Chinese, and Japanese goods that I couldn't find.

I visited this market today for the first time. It was well organized and had all the ingredients I was looking for. The gentleman that rang my purchase was so kind and gave my toddler a lollipop to keep him happy and busy. The side dishes taste amazing and I'll definitely come back here again!

I absolutely love my Korean lady. She is so sweet. She doesn’t say much but she always gives me food and treats me so well. Her homemade Korean food is the absolute best. If I ask for something she doesn’t have, she says come back and the next day, it’s there! I miss her so much! I was so honored when she invited me and my baby to her daughter’s wedding dinner. I remember when I cooked a brought her food she said “ You made this” and we were tight ever since. Sharing food is an expression of love between cultures. As soon I get home, I’m going to see my girl!!

Great little market and has an amazing restaurant!!! The kimchi and side dishes are delicious. The Bulgogi and soups are so good. My favorite is the fried chicken extra spicy. Yum!!! Staff and owners are so friendly!

I had eaten at One Family restaurant and decided to drop by this store since it was literally next door. This store is very interesting and odd at the same time. There were plenty of items that you were able to find at regular oriental markets but the selection was very limited here at this location.

The interesting things about this store was that they had tons of BBQ meat and veggies ready for you to purchased from the freezer so that was neat if you wanted a quick meal without having to purchase the items separately. They also had ramen packs that had no seasonings that were meant for hot pot or stew and I've never seen that before so I thought that was very cool and unique.

The odd things about this location was that on one side of the store, it was all groceries but then when you get to the other side of the store, it has very odd items such as shoes or things that you would normally find at a flea market and I've never seen that before at an oriental market. It isn't off putting but it was definitely different.

I wouldn't return unless I was in the area but even on my first trip, I didn't purchase anything so it's definitely a maybe.

If you want authentic Korean groceries or looking to upgrade your culinary skills, this is one of the best local mom & pop stores for Korean food. The selection of kimchi is excellent: tastes homemade, super fresh, and goes with everything. I love eating kimchi with plain steamed jasmine rice or you can chop up kimchi and make some fried rice. The banchan (Korean side dishes) are all delicious and will augment any entree and rice at home. But they are also so good by themselves. The owner makes the burdock root banchan and that is one of my favorite appetizers! It’s just the right sweetness, with umami from the soy sauce and sesame oil. It tastes so darn good with some plain steamed rice and short rib (kalbi!). They also have an extensive selection of marinated meats in traditional Korean sauces. Their meats include pork belly, beef, chicken, bulgogi... all so easy to purchase and cook or grill at home. There is also a variety of Korean dishes like noodles (japchae), steam rice rolls (dukbokki), egg omelet, jigae (stew), soondubu (tofu stew), stir fry vegetables (i love the spinach!) and a variety of homemade stews. The frozen collection is carefully curated and it’s great to make some mandu (dumplings) when you don’t feel like cooking a whole dinner after a long day of work. The snacks selection is so much fun and it’s hard not to pick up at least 3-4 types of chips! Honey butter chips always and also these crispy four-layered turtle chips. Please go and support your local and kind mom and pop Korean shop here and enjoy the experience and attentive service. ? Thanks!

Korean market that's a bit tucked away from the road. Delicious and spicy fish cake. If you're looking for a quick grab and go lunch this is the spot. Just walk in and there's some prepared items that you can buy quickly and go back to work. Definitely will be coming again!
