Boo Han Market

I came here to grab something quick to eat as I had to fast for an appointment nearby. They had a clearance section right in front and I grabbed a few cup ramens cause I would have those for my lunches at work. The store is kinda organized but also not as much as H-mart. I was short on time so I was trying to find everything I needed and I learned that they have prepared foods in the top left corner of the store. They had japchae, gimbap, fish patties, and much more. I grabbed some frozen seafood soup and a drink. The store is brightly lit and clean for the most part. The service here is friendly and polite. It was cool that they had a drawstring bag as their bag. Although if you have weird shaped products then it isn't the most comfortable if you have to walk around with it. But a fantastic store with any needs for Korean or other Asian goodies at a good price!

I’ve been coming here for over 20 years. This was the first Asian market I remember going to, even before Paldo. While it’s a smaller store, it more than makes up for it with friendly staff and all the essential items you need for the home. I usually come here for items that are cheaper than at Paldo or H Mart, and the quality is still very good. Another big bonus is that it’s right next to Bon Bon Bakery, so I often go out of my way to stop here when I’m already planning a bakery run. I actually like that this location is smaller than some of the other markets because it makes for a quick and easy in and out shopping trip. The parking lot is smaller as well, but there’s always space available.

I love ❤️ this Market. In my opinion I haven't found any businesses in Tacoma down to where I live in Tenino that sell better kimchi than Boo Han Market. I have been a customer for over 3 decades. There's other selections that I love, however the tariff war has made some items expensive. If you like/love Korean food, this is the place. I continue to make the drive from Tenino especially for the kimchi.

I believe empty shelves in a grocery store are fundamentally unacceptable. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the interior doesn’t compare to H Mart or Paldo Market. If you need to visit a Korean grocery store, I recommend choosing H Mart or Paldo Market instead.

First time going there earlier this year. Very friendly and got plenty of great food and snacks.
