A-1 Oriental Market is a well-regarded Asian market and cafe. Reviewers call it the best Asian market in the area and a gem. The business has a cafe in the back with food that is to go only, with no place to sit down. Orders are placed at the counter and are typically ready in about 10 to 20 minutes, so many call to place an order for pickup. The market has so many yummy things. Specific dishes praised include the best kimchi jiggae outside of Korea, bulgogi, japchae, spicy squid, and the seafood and scallion pancake. The cucumber kimchi is repeatedly called the best and noted for changing one reviewer's mind about kimchi. Dishes are described as amazing, very good, cooked fresh, and with large portions that could easily be shared. The spicy squid sauce is noted as not too spicy and just right, while the spicy noodles are recommended for those with a good spice tolerance. The staff and owner are consistently described as friendly, welcoming, and friendly. Customers often go for one thing and leave with many others, and the experience makes them want to return to try more dishes.
My favorite Korean store😁😁😁Many fish options and owners are very nice.

Incredible selection for such a small shop. Better than Ta Lin for Korean and Japanese products. Got some great fresh ramen noodles, gojuchar, bulgogi marinade, I will definitely be back. Can’t believe I never went before now
