There are several other Asian markets in Western New York, some bigger some smaller. Kim’s is however the only Korean market in the area. It’s small but they have just about everything you need at very good prices. They have a small selection of fresh produce daily; lots of frozen & refrigerated goods; several isles of non-perishables as well as some uniquely Korean gifts and items for the home. It’s conveniently located near the thruway in a small plaza.
My cookbooks
Which to get? Both are best sellers and either one is a good choice if you want to learn Korean home cooking. Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking has all the recipes for all the essential Korean pastes and sauces, but my second book Maangchi's Big Book of Korean Cooking has more recipes, more photos, and more variety.

To make Korean grocery shopping easier for everyone, me and my readers have been making a list of local Korean grocery stores around the world.

The store is now called “Lucky Dragon”
Thank you for letting me know, I updated it here.
UPDATE- The store has new owners (a friendly young couple) and has had a makeover. They now have a greater selection of items and also have delicious home-made kimchi (different varieties) and banchan available daily.
That’s very awesome, LuccaQ! Thank you for updating this listing. I really appreciate it!
