Shilla Amsterdam

Great little shop for some key Korean ingredients. Friendly staff and easy to find things in this cozy store.

this is where i go to get all of my korean foods goodies! a lot of asian markets have little dabs of korean products but this place is all korean mixed in with a bit of japanese. they also have a deli counter where you can buy sushi, marinated meats and other yummy foods. you can even sit there at a bar and eat it in case you can’t wait to get home!

Great shop, if your looking for Korean items (or Japanese for that matter). They sell Hite beer and soju ! Enough said. They also sell a wide assortment of kimchis And marinated raw meats i. e Bulgogi. I love the grocery stores in Chinatown but you won’t find those items in Chinatown!
Also Not sure what the other review was talking about? The shop is in the Gelderlandplein mall, which in fact is not in the middle of no where but 2 blocks from Amsterdam World trade center

Since there weren’t a lot of Korean related reviews on Unilocal in Amsterdam, I rocked it old school and trolled some outdated expat forums and found this place. It’s about 1.4 km away from World Trade Center (which may seem central if you come from a city with big assed blocks but for me felt a bit isolated) and there is nothing much in the area besides the mall other than apartment complexes.
I do have to agree you get things here you can’t in other stores so if you are jonesing for soju and kongnamul — and not the kind they pass as sprouts at the ah, then it can definitely be worth the trek. I raise my original rating up to four. It could have been 5 but their lotus root side dish was an insult to my peoples.
