Went and got Korean ribs for the BBQ and absolutely loved it. The price was a little bit higher than the other markets but I did not regret buying it since there was not a lot of fat on the bones, mostly meat. yum yum. Will definitely buy again here for the Korean BBQ ribs.

The only thing I buy from this place are small red light bulbs. They are 3 for $ 1, including taxes. My parents told me about this place long ago. It’s the only place I know that sells the red light bulbs for a good price. The size we need are those night light type. Wonder if anybody knows where else there’s a good deal for these red ones we need. Every now and then, some red light bulbs would burn out too quickly & I get mad, then we are forced to buy extra ones. I either ask my dad to buy them. When I buy them, I place each light bulb near my ear & shake it ever so slightly. I’m good when I don’t hear any filament jiggling around in the glass. Hand over my dollar and am on my way out the door.
