Wang Korea Food Market

Must-Visit for Korean Food Lovers!nI recently explored Wang Korean Shop in Rosedale Albany, and I was amazed by the massive selection of authentic Korean products. The store is spacious, well-organized, and offers everything from fresh produce to snacks, sauces, and frozen items. It's the perfect place for anyone wanting to experiment with Korean cooking or simply find their favorite Korean ingredients. Whether you're after unique ingredients or everyday staples, this store has it all. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Korean cuisine!

One of the largest if not the largest Korean supermarket in Auckland, with a variety of fresh produce, condiments tailored to Korean cooking, and also prepared dishes and deserts ready to eat and serve. It is worth the drive from anywhere in Auckland as you cannot find many of the cuts, produces anywhere in the typical Kiwi supermarket.

Such a large supermarket with probably everything under the sun. I mainly go there for fresh kimchi, but always end up buying more. The spice and sauce selection is great. It is slightly on a pricey side, if you’re not buying bulk items

Wow, really enjoyed shopping experience here. The big screen in the back with k-pop was very entertaining while browsing through different aisles. Wide selections of meat, seafood, frozen food, sauces, snacks, and drinks.

I was extremely displeased because of the vegetable shop owner.nAfter reading other reviews, it seems this behavior isn’t unusual, and I really think some change is necessary.nnI recently moved from another region and wasn’t familiar with how this market operates. I picked up some kimchi from the vegetable shop and put it in my basket, planning to continue shopping in other sections. But suddenly, the owner said, “Are you going to pay before you leave?” in a very abrupt tone, which left me quite shocked.nWhen I responded with, “Excuse me?” he followed up with, “Either leave the item or pay for it now.”nAfter I explained, “We’re still shopping,” he finally said, “Each section here is run by a different vendor.”nnIf he had just said something like, “This section is run separately, and the kimchi is sold by us. You can either come back to pay after browsing or pay here before continuing,” from the beginning, it would have been a completely different experience.nnSince it was my first time at this market and I didn’t know how things worked, I think this kind of misunderstanding can easily happen. But the way you speak to someone makes a big difference in how they feel, especially when they’re a customer. I hope he considers that going forward.nnThat said, the man with long hair at the main checkout counter was incredibly kind and polite. Thanks to him, I was able to leave the store with a smile on my face.
