About this store

Korean Food is an independent supermarket on Luntmakargatan in Vasastan, and what you notice first is how compact it is: a cosy little store rather than an aisle-by-aisle operation.

The homemade kimchi is the item to get first, made in-house and the one thing that defines the shop. Take a tub of it and a few of the banchan side dishes, which hold the same standard as the kimchi itself.

The owner is very nice and helpful, and the service is part of why the shop feels easy to walk into. It is a small store, so you move through it quickly rather than losing an afternoon.

The shop suits anyone who cooks Korean at home and wants kimchi and banchan without a trip to a bigger store. Check the hours before you set out: it opens at noon on weekdays and closes at 4 pm on Saturday.
