Kim Brothers Oriental Market

"‼️ OLDEST KOREAN MARKET IN TAMPA BAY‼️ Kim Bros is the oldest existing specifically Korean market in Tampa Bay. I've been shopping here for over 20 years now. There are a few others markets in the area, but I visit here for quite a few reasons. While not the largest market, there are still many reasons to visit. What makes this market unique: 1️⃣ Prepared foods at the register, displayed on the counter. I specifically like any of their 떡 rice cakes, specifically 송편 rice cakes filled with sweet sesame. Their colorful rice cakes make great gifts. Also, they have some tasty 깐풍기 sauced fried chicken, and 잡채 noodles. 2️⃣ Hard-to-find ingredients for specific recipes. Looking for 들깨 for 들깨칼국수? Just ask and someone will help you find it. 3️⃣ Prices are lower than any other Korean market in Tampa (not lower than Brandon). 4️⃣ Largest selection in Tampa of specifically Korean ingredients. 5️⃣ Largest selection of fresh banchan in Tampa. Though not as large as they used to have, and not as much as Brandon. 6️⃣ Saturday mornings will have the largest selection of fresh foods. 7️⃣ Call ahead for catering items. If you call ahead, you can order prepared foods for catering. 8️⃣ Home goods, cookware, and food storage. 9️⃣ Some Korean beauty products at the register. 🔟 Baked goods from Atlanta Korean bakeries.
