Amazing prices for authentic oriental goods, they had a good selection of meats, spices, noodles, fish, they had it all even cookware and house tools from Korean,Japanese, Chinese etc. These pictures are the goods I bought(from my house), not instore pictures.

Small, but with a excellent selection of various types of Asian ingredients, as well as prepared foods. Staff is friendly, and helpful. Wasn't able to find white miso, but it's very likely that I overlooked it, as I was in a hurry.

I love this store! While much smaller than Mr. Chen’s Oriental Supermarket across the street, I find that the selection here is better curated and of better quality. We buy noodles, produce, spices, sauces and soups form here. The customer service is friendly and helpful too.

There are a lot of items here at great prices; However, you can't buy anything without cash! I was really surprised by this but maybe that's how prices are so low. I had to put back my purchases though as I do not ever have or use cash. Because the space is so limited, the products here are good quality. There's no room for the slow sellers, bad products, things people do not enjoy. The place is simply too small to stop the "maybes." I will go back with cash in hand as soon as I can. I found many unique and fresh herbs, an incredible selection of teas, many delicious sauces, and hoards of sushi making products. The isles were narrow and shelves stocked full but people were polite and friendly as I passed them down the isles. It seemed clean, organized, but packed full! It's worth a visit!

I have been coming to this location since I was a child and I am in my 40s now. There is always a huge selection Oriental and Middle Eastern food. They even have fresh crab and fresh seafood. My only complaint would be that some items do not have prices on it. But, I can Overlook that easily. I understand the area is not the safest but I have never had one single issue in my entire life. I recommend doing here during daylight hours especially on the weekends. It is the year 2022 and the prices keep going up.. so, you still have items not marked and the prices are getting high.

This store is near the Arkansas University. There is a row of laundry shops. Many goods are displayed in the store. Many of the products are Korean food. Then there was Chinese food and Japanese food. Japanese food had miso and seasonings. There were many frozen foods in the store, and there were many unusual ones such as Korean-made frozen foods. There are also Korean and Japanese cup noodles, sweets, tableware and Korean rice. There are also kimchi and kimpa zawaan, as well as kimchi ingredients. Please note that this store does not accept credit or debit cards! ! It was written next to the cash register that only cash or a check could be used.

This is the second time I've been here. I came here after becoming a pandemic. It was open at the same time as usual, the number of products was not small, and I was relieved that they were lined up on the shelves. There were fresh vegetables and tofu. The shop here is rich in Korean food, and I felt that Korean seasonings, noodles, and frozen foods were cheaper than other products. There are over 50 types of instant noodles. Both the bag noodles and the cup noodles are very fulfilling. As always, only cash only is accepted, so be careful when visiting the store.

このお店はtheアーカンソーユニバーシティの近くにあります。ランドリー店の並びにあります。店内にはたくさんの商品が陳列されています。商品の多くは韓国の食べ物です。その次に中国の食べ物、日本の食べ物もありました。日本食はお味噌や調味料がありました。店内にはいくつもの冷凍食品があり、韓国製の冷凍食品など珍しいものも沢山ありました。韓国製、日本製のカップ麺、お菓子、食器、韓国製のお米類もたくさんあります。キムチの素はもちろんのこと、キムチやキムパ用の沢庵もあります。こちらのお店はクレジットカードやデビットカードが使えないので注意してください！！キャッシュかチェックしか使えないと、レジの横に書いてありました。

私はここに来たのは2回目。パンデミックになってから来てみた。いつもと同じ時間帯にオープンしており、商品の品数も決して少なくなく、棚にぎっしりと並べられていて安心した。新鮮な野菜も豆腐もあった。ここのお店は韓国系の食材が豊富で、韓国製の調味料や麺類、冷凍食品が他の物に比べると安いと感じた。インスタントラーメンの種類は50種類以上ある。袋麺やカップ麺両方とても充実した品揃えである。相変わらずキャッシュオンリーしか受け付けていないので、来店時は注意が必要である。

This is my favorite Asian grocery in Little Rock. Their focus is on Korea but they do carry a little from every country in the region. They have a small section of African ingredients like red palm oil, etc.

They are definitely lacking some regional Chinese ingredients, particularly Sichuan, so head to Mr. Chen's for those.

They have a very small fresh veggie section during the week but that expands to the entire front of the store on Saturday mornings - feels like a farmer's market on Saturdays! This is the only place in Little Rock I've found that carries galangal for Thai cooking.

They recently did a reset of most of the store aisles and the place looks and feels much better - got rid of a lot of clutter.

Their kimchi is made in Dallas and is outstanding.

In summary - I cannot recommend this store highly enough for those who enjoy eating and cooking all the amazing cuisines of Asia.
