Oriental Mart

One of the better Asian marts in Miami. Listed on Unilocal as Oriental Mart, there’s a sign out front that says Kimchi, and we lovingly refer to it as «the Korean mart». The place is heavily focused on Korean groceries but has a great selection of many other mainstay Asian products as well. The shelves are well organized and the place is spotless. Some of the things we love are the spicy Shin Ramen sold by the case (best instant ramen I’ve had to date), fresh produce, sushi grade tuna, a Korean brand of frozen pork and leak dumplings to which I can’t translate the name, cabbage for making our homemade kimchi, and of course the fresh Gimbap made fresh but only on the weekends. Free yogurt drinks are given with your purchase, a fact my young ones love. The employees always crack a big smile when I bid them gomabseubnida (that’s thank you in Korean). Parking is plentiful as they are the only tenant in the small strip mall.

everyone in the store was so nice! I was surprised to see so many Japanese snacks. Which I LOVE! If you have never tried canned Asian coffee go here and get a GOLD coffee can it will change your life!

i bought a bag of miso soup for multiple servings. it was the worst miso soup i had ever tasted in over thirty years. i returned the rest of the unused bag for refund. the store refuse to refund because i opened the bag. really? the store clerk and manager assured me of store policy. unless the policy is changed, this is one store i will not return. i used to go there once a every three weeks.

This is one of my favorite Asian markets if only for the excellent staff. They always remember me and are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. This place is near immaculate (always see someone cleaning) and like the TARDIS, larger than it looks from the outside! Since I’m not Asian, I can’t really judge as to how varied or authentic their selection is but they always had exactly what I needed for my recipes and cravings. They have a mini section with fresh organic produce at excellent prices. They carry these buns and treats from a Georgia Bakery called «Tree Story» which are melt in your mouth deliciousness. Their homemade kimchi is out of this world, one of the best I’ve ever tried, and they also make sushi on weekends. I’m so sad to have moved so far from this little gem. I may not be able to visit as often but will definitely come back every now and again.

Hands down the best Asian market in south Miami! Coming from an Asian! It’s so clean, the prices are better than most markets around, and they are so friendly and helpful.

Just a glance, you might not think that this little mart can be such an amazing place!
But as you enter the front door it’s definitely not like any other oriental store.
Inside the store are just aisles of Asian goodness!
Being Asian, it’s so hard to find a decent oriental mart, let alone a great one!
This exceeds my expectations.
Prices are sooooo much more cheaper then the other oriental stores. For example, a can of sardines (that’s Philippine brand) is $ 1.19 at a Filipino store, but here, it’s $ 0.89 for the exact same kind of sardines!
They make their Kimchi in house and yes, a lot more Korean products (cause it’s a Korean store but caters to other Asian products so yay!)
THEIR KIMCHI IS DELICIOUS
I get so excited every time I have to go grocery shopping here. I actually LOOK FORWARD to coming here haha
FIVE STARS for great service, great products, and great prices. Best oriental store I’ve been to thus far.

This is probably the best East Asian market in Miami-​Dade County (Wing Fa a close runner up). It is exceptionally clean and doesn’t have that «Chinese market» smell, brightly lit, spacious floors that doesn’t have boxes and merchandise blocking the aisles and corners. It’s Korean-​based, but you can find most Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian ingredients here. The staff are sweet and helpful and overall, it’s been a pleasant shopping experience every time I go. The only downside of it is the location; it’s easy to drive by and miss it if you’re not careful. To locate, it’s before the strip mall with the Taco Bell if you’re coming from the south, after if you’re coming from the north.

Great market, clean, organized, lots of choices for ramen, and condiments, great middle selection and super helpful staff

New to Miami and I was on the run looking for a good local Asian market and decided to go to Oriental Mart.
This is a primarily Korean market with very nice owners. I immediately got asked if I needed help with anything after I was welcomed. All the aisles are clean, spacious and well organized. They actually had most things of what a large Korean market would have. I was surprised to see that they have marinated bulgolgi and kalbi. Prices are kinda steep but since its so rare to have that in the area I get it.
They also have all your sauces, korean fruits and veggies such as the korean pear and cabbage to make kimchi. There was also various different types of kimchi made.
What made me really excited was that they have fresh kimbap! I love kimbap a lot so I was so happy to see it here. The kind they have is the fishcake kind. It was very tasty with little rice in the roll with lots of veggies and fish cake in the middle just the way I like it.
What also was a nice little treat is that the owner gave me one of those little probiotic drinks when I bought my items. It is like a free sample like when I went to Korea for make up and they give me loads of samples to try out.
Overall, I was quite happy with my purchases of kimchi, shin cup, kimbap and soybean paste and will come here again for my Korean food needs.

Finding an Asian market in Florida is like finding an Asian person… a rarity and sighting so rare you may have to do a double take.
We needed soy sauce, short grain rice, and sesame, but could not find at the grocery store or Costco, and did not want to pay an exorbitant amount for small bottles. Thank you Unilocal for guiding us to Oriental Mart where we found all those things and more! This is a legit grocery store with frozen goods, produce, boxed goods, kitchenware, etc for all your Asian cooking needs. We were like kids in a candy shop and walked through every aisle to get everything we needed, since the store not close to us and we were not going to come here often.
Some of the things we purchased:
— gallon of soy sauce ($ 19, better than $ 3.xx for a bottle)
— large tin of sesame oil
— kimchi (different sizes bottles in the back fridge)
— tofu
— mabo tofu mix
— curry mix
— short grain rice (also have long grain and Thai)
— assorted Korean spices and paste
— packaged ramen
Spent $ 120 stocking up on these «essential» Asian goods. Prices are pretty comparable to what I am used to out west, maybe slightly higher, but what do you expect when there’s no other stores around.
We also received that small yogurt drink in the way out. Score! Nice refreshing treat on a hot summer day… which is everyday here, yah?
Check out my pics and video sweep of the store. Hopefully this review helps others like yourself in a similar position. Highly recommend this place!

Yay!!! I have found my Korean fix! They even have Kim Bap and Taegu!!! Super nice store. Clean, friendly, and lots of FRESH produce! They have the large carrots, not the puny ones you see in super markets here. Plus, they have all kinds of Chinese and Japanese sauces too. Prices are good.

This has now become my go-​to asian mart, not only because it’s conveniently close to my home (lucky me, WOOHOO), but for the BEST PRICES IN TOWN! I feel like I hit the jackpot when I found mochi for only $ 1.99. Stocked myself up and told all my friends immediately because we are fiends for asian snacks. Plus… Only $ 2.99 for the big bottle of Sriracha sauce? I’m in asian grocery heaven! The prices aren’t the only good thing about this oriental mart now. It’s also the set up and size of this place.
Unlike every other oriental mart I’ve been to (except for Lucky Oriental Mart), they’re usually super confined and everything is crammed into a small venue. Sometimes the shelves look disorganized and you don’t even know what you’re looking for anymore because of the messy nature due to the tiny space. At this oriental market, the space is huge, it’s almost like the size of Trader Joe’s except a tad smaller, imagine Trader joe’s without their wine section. That’s how I would describe the size of this market. It’s bright, there’s lights everywhere! not a dim lit aisle in sight. There’s space on the shelves/​fridges/​coolers for everything. And the produce is beautiful! There’s actually a fresh produce aisle filled with colorful, cheap foods. I now pledge my loyalty to this market for all my asian grocery needs

Stopped by this place on the weekend after seeing all the great reviews and this place definitely lives up to all the hype!
The selection is unbelievable! They have lots of fresh asian produce, plus a a nice selection of dried mushrooms and beans by the pound.
The place is impeccably clean. I was there for maybe 45 minutes and they cleaned the floor 2 times while I was there.
They have a GREAT frozen section of all kinds of dumplings and they have frozen BAO’s!!! I had to bring some back with me on my last visit to Chicago’s chinatown, but NO MORE! Now I can get them locally :)
The only thing I wish this place had was accept EBT :(
I will definitely be back, but I’ll still be going to the other local asian market that accepts EBT when I have BIG purchases to make.

I’ve been to this Oriental Mart several times. I probably could’ve been the first to review since I was here when they just opened (even before the grand opening. Boo for me! I even checked on Unilocal to and it didn’t show up. Two thumbs down for me again.
But on the light side, this place is awesome. The focus here is mostly Korean but they do have a variety of Asian products. I love to get a certain wrap so I can make lumpias and get their radishes. We call them differently at Guam but all that matters is that they’re good.
They also sell bulgogi meet, kalbi beef, short ribs, and other red meats for purchase. It’s not a big selection but it targets the Korean dishes that are popular. I’ve never got them before but I will one day. The parking here is small. Easy enough but not always packed so it shouldn’t be a problem. The customer service is awesome. They are always greeting you and helping you if needed. Also after purchase, they give you Korean candy or yogurt milk. I’m not sure what’s it called but I do remember it as a kid. Not my first and def not my last at the Oriental Mart. :)

This is a good enough Asian (& esp Korean) market and likely the best one yet in Miami. Store is kept very clean, selection of products quite diverse. Good amount of Korean kimchi and prepared foods. Very helpful and friendly staff. Definitely worth the drive

Love this place! I love all things korean food. This place has it all. Very clean and organized. They have specfic korean ingredients that you would not find anywhere else.
I follow Maangchi on youtube and now I can recreate everything. I also follow cooking with dog and has japanese dishes that uses ingredients that are hard to find. This place has it.
They also have, I believe, homemade kimchi. It is definately different than the ones in the glass jar that are in all asian markets. It is cheaper here too. They have a variety of korean side dishes as well.
My favorite is the frozen meat they have. Thin slices of beef is so hard to find. Even having it custom cut at publix it is still not as thin as I like. I buy it because it’ll be good for phở. I also buy it to make bulgogi. Which they also have premade frozen. All you have to do is thaw and stir fry and BAM KBBQ.
Love this place. I end up spending a lot but I can make all the korean dishes I want for at least 2 weeks or so.

This place could be quite the find. It’s new so I want to give it a chance.
Asian grocery stores are always a welcomed addition to the Miami culinary scene.
The store is well laid out. The isles are actually big enough that they provide carts inside. the staff is all very friendly and helpful.
The selection and pricing will need to be tweaked in order to get me coming back for more however. The prices seemed a but higher on most items throughout the store. They were also lacking in vegetarian items that I can usually find in other Asian supermarkets. Typically I can find interesting/​Odd items in the freezer case. Not so here. They have tofu galore but not Fake duck and Almost Chicken and other things I like to try.
They are a newish store. So I think they will get a better feel for what they need to do to be competitive. I’ll come back again in the near future to check on them.

I agree that this Korean Market offers finally an adequate supply of Korean groceries.
Even though by distance this location appears to be closer than the original located in Sunrise, it can actually take LONGER b/​c of the frequent traffic on US 1. I’m more of a highway gal, so I prefer driving the longer route. I would say time to get to both markets take about the same if you’re driving from downtown Miami. It’ll be a different story if you live in Kendall however.
Parking is limited (only 3?)

Fantastic place ! I’ve compared prices and found this one has the best prices and variety. Staff is always willing to help and give recipes. Most of all the owner is always there and ready to hear concerns. I love small young business owners.

Korean snacks are so yummy and they have different kind of ramen!!! The store is very clean and staffs are very friendly.

I’m giving this a 3.5 with potential for growth!
I had heard of a new Oriental Market that opened up but didn’t know where it was. Thankfully, I stumbled upon it on my way home from Aldi’s.
I actually enjoy the spaciousness and looks like a legit market with space! instead of others where you barely have space to move.
I didn’t know it was a primarily Korean mart, all the items I couldn’t read so I didn’t know what exactly the items were. But they meticulously put the correct pricing and label under in English. And there are a lot of markdowns as well!
Everyone is extremely nice (which is the opposite of the typical Asian business stereotype lol), greeting me, asking me if I needed anything, saw them help service others, played cool music, and they seemingly give out a free Asian Yogurt drink to everyone when you check out — I thought it was just me being cool & special. but I guess everyone is cool & special ;D
This is definitely going to be my new go-​to spot for Asian groceries. Bought Asian legit noodles for almost half the most that PK would sell for.

The original Oriental Mart up in Ft Lauderdale is one of my favorite Asian grocery store — big, clean, friendly and lots of goodies; so when they announced the opening of a new store down south, I am super excited.
Finally the wait is over and the store was opened less than a week ago, on 15 355 S Dixie Hwy. (I submitted the info to Unilocal but somehow they posted a totally different address)
When I visited, they are still in the middle of setting up. Official Grand Opening won’t be till March, but streams of Koreans are coming in to say hi already. (My Korean friend texted me about their soft opening, so I guess the word is out, at least in Korean.) The shelves are more half empty, so selection is still limited, but the friendly staff told me that if I want some veggies they can pack it for me from the back.
They have freezers of sliced beef for Korean BBQ, marinated as well as plain, frozen seafood, dumplings, ice cream and frozen treats from Korean. There are many instant noodles, mostly spicy. For veggies they have eggplants, dark green vegetables, turnips, and jars and jars of kimchee. The ban-​chan variety is limited at this moment.
It’s a grocery store, so you’ll find all the pantry items you expected: spices, rice, flour, snacks, drinks and more. It’s fun to explore.
I treated myself to a Korean ice cream, bought some Korean instant noodles, and left. Same as the Ft Lauderdale store, they give me a bottle of yogurt drink at check out. As kids, we drank it by puncturing a hole in the seal with our canine teeth, then suck the drink with vampiric gusto. Which is how I drank mine just now…
Will definitely be back in a couple of weeks to do a full report.
