I wish more people knew about this little gem ! The food was out standing, really felt like it was made with love and made me feel warm and happy inside to eat, which in my opinion is a whole different tier of food . Like it’s beyond tasty, you can tell the people here really care about serving up good food . Also the nicest people work here . The food feels really authentic and genuine, and the women who served us who so warm and welcoming . It definitely added to the whole experience but rest assure the food does speak for itself . 5 stars !!!!

I truly enjoy coming to this market, because the owner and her staff are very welcoming, and they have wonderful food options. Also, the owner recently opened a Korean restaurant on one side of the market, and her food is delicious. The restaurant section is open from Tuesday through Saturday in the evening from 5:00 PM until closing. It is a special experience to come here, because the food and people are exceptional. I highly recommend checking the Woori Mart out!

Wonderful shop! I went there a bit confused because it was my first time buying certain items required for a few dishes I want to make for my friends. They must have saw how confused I was after and I had walked around for awhile and they immediately helped me find everything I needed. They were very kind and although I had a bunch of things I needed help finding, the gentleman assured me that it was okay and that he wanted to help me find the proper ingredients I needed for each meal. There was also a woman there who was so kind to my 7 month old daughter and kept her and my boyfriend companyw I shopped.

I’ve always been interested in Asian culture and been trying to find a place here in buffalo to get food and treats. THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO TO! I was surprised with amount of Asian goodies (specifically Korean for me) they have. It’s so clean and nicely put together. Also the owner I believe was also so nice and friendly and also spoke to me about Korea when I mentioned I would love to go there. Honestly if I can I will come here everyday! Please visit and support this shop!!!

For an Asian market, this place is probably the cleanest! do all of my Korean grocery shopping here. Prices are decent and the food selection is awesome. The vegetables are fresh and meat selection in the deli is good too. There is no better Korean place in this area.

After frequenting the Woori Mart a few times, and speaking with friendly owner 이양 아줌마 about her expansion into a restaurant, I was super excited! She is super friendly and we always have nice conversation upon shopping in her store.After eating her home cooked Korean meals in her newly opened restaurant (connected to the market) I have decided this is the best place in Buffalo to eat Korean food! Not only is her cooking delicious, she puts effort into the presentation and tries out rotating side dishes (반찬) like acorn jelly, tofu or sesame oiled black beans. Then, her portion size is generous! The first time I enjoyed her 비빔밥 (a rice dish with veggies, egg and beef) and this time I tried a spicy cod soup (대구 매운탕). Served with rice and a side of kimchi, all of the flavors meshed harmoniously! A nice cup of red bean ice cream and a hot cup of rice tea to end the meal wrapped up a very pleasant experience.Great service, calm atmosphere with korean illustrations and 한복 lining the walls add to the overall ambience of the small korean restaurant. Then, after we were done, conveniently the grocery items are right next to the restaurant so we could pick up some food items we needed before heading home! I wish the best success to 이향 아줌마 and her Korean restaurant venture. Definitely my favorite overall Korean dining experience I have had in Buffalo! I will definitely be coming back and encourage others to give her restaurant a try if you are looking for a great home cooked meal! There is something on the menu for everyone, even those unsure about Korean food surely can find something to suit their tastebuds.I am so excited to finally have a restaurant to eat at that feels like you are having a nice meal cooked by a good friend. All the food is filled with 이향 아줌마s passion and love for her culture and customers! 행운을 빌어요! 수고했어요 이향 아줌마! (੭•̀ᴗ•̀)੭

This is the best of best Asian grocery store in Buffalo NY. Store have lots of choice in reasonable price. I wasnt so happy when I shop other Asian grocery store because of price is too high and lack of options to choose. So I use to go American grocery store before Woorimart opens and now I go there 2-3times week for Korean grocery.

Cleanest Asian market in Buffalo. Very knowledgeable staff. I wrote this on the old Sungs Oriental after they changed ownership. WooriMart is the correct place for this review.The pictures I posted of this place are also WooriMart, not Sungs.

I shopped at this store a few days ago, and I had the worst experience ever in the 10 years since I have lived in the USA. I went shopping at Woori Mart and came back satisfied. They had the food I was looking for, and was very organized. My family was pretty happy, but when we got home, we noticed that many of the products we got were nearing their expiration date. Anyways, we got rice cakes there and had some for snacks. Afterwards, I felt sick, so I checked the expiration date. It turns out that the frozen rice cakes were over two months past their expiration date. I called the store to get an explanation, and once the owner (I think) listened to me, he didnt give much of an explanation and hung up on me. He did that at least seven times. He also said that I wasnt able to return some of the product under the laws of the USA and angrily told me to never come to his store again. I would never shop in this store ever again. The owner of this store was very rude and not honest with the customers. It was the worst store and one of the worst experiences of my life. Also, this store shouldnt sell the Korean rice wine, Makgeolli for $6. Its too expensive. I advise that if you go shopping in this store, make sure that you can return the product and look at the expiration date before you put it in your cart.

Review №35

Minutes after I posted review the owner of the store called me and left a thretening message in my voice mail that he will pick up lawsuits because I spread a fake rumor. I therefore should explain what happened last year. I bought a bag of rice in Woori Mart in order to cook for my church members two hours before Friday worship meeting because the pantry was locked then. I asked to the store staff whether I could return it later if there were someone unlocked the pantry to take out rice as usual. I explained him as follows:on that day the person in charge of the pantry was not there and we could not find the key. I have to pick up rice to cook for people in time but I have to return it if I dont use it because I cant take it home as I dont eat sweet rice.He said okay. When I came back to the church kichen the pantry was open so that I could cook with rice in the pantry and the bag of rice I bought was useless. Next day I stopped by the store to exchange it with something else. The staff could not keep the promise because the owner was angry calling name to me, and to be worse he picked up the rice bag and threw it outside of the store onto the ground next to my car. He yelled at me to take it back. It was humiliating and hurting me terribly.I found out another review today about a similar experience posted by Um. It reminded me such a nasty experience last year that motivated me to post my review. I even tried to exchange instead of refund for a courtesy but thats what happened to me last year. And now he threatens me because he never saw me in his store. People, what can I say?After my second post the owner of Woori Mart posted such a nasty reply in which he called me a thief? I like to make clear that this man lies publically and accuse me falsely. Does he know the laws really? Does he know what result he will get after a false accuse? In his message in my voice mail he mentioned about his lawyer and criminal law in US, and insisted that he will call Police to arrest me... I am going to see what happens to him then. I recorded his message and copied his reply for the legal records. They will be evidence of threatening and insulting one with a false accuse. I wish him to go consult with his lawyer to learn what he will get after those actions. A false accuse and threatening are the serious action in this country...he should learn.
