Sambok Korean Groceries

Best place to get various groceries. My favorites are their huge furikake selection and of course - best Daikon Kimchi on this planet! Yummy mung bean pancakes ($3) and dumplings ($1) stand right outside the store

A small store, but they have a great selection. I'm not sure if the woman outside selling food is affiliated, but the chicken on a stick and mung bean pancake were so delicious. Especially the mung bean cake. The best!

This place is great and a nice Asian markets they have all your classic Asian food staples and some surprises I wouldn't expect in Pittsburgh. Unlike the other Asian market in the strip everything here was fresh and nothing we saw was expired.

Overall great place to visit and buy

I’ve never shopped inside since I have no idea how to make Korean cuisine nor could I read the labels if I wanted, but the food station outside this joint is awesome! Sambok griddle serves up all kinds of delicious dishes. They’re particularly known for their mung bean pancakes which have a custard-like texture to them. They’re very tasty! Love buying a quick bite from here when visiting the Strip.

Good place to get Korean food ingredients! Small shop that's clean with decent prices. What I loved was the little food stand out front! I got a dumpling, the chicken on a stick and mung bean pancake. They were all super delicious and the chicken on a stick is definitely worth the $6 in my opinion. I also got their house made Radish Kimchi, really good!

Absolutely love this place! The staff is so kind, I bought an Onggi from them (korean fermenting urn) and the woman at the register was so very attentive about packaging it for me. And she even gave me advice for making kimchii. Not to mention they have a good selection of goods. No complaints~

Absolute must-visit in the strip district!! Love love love the chicken on a stick and the mung bean pancake - great prices and great service! The store has a good selection as well!

So happy I came to this place. The selection is wonderful, the layout was easy to navigate, and the owner was absolutely delightful. My nephew and I stopped in for some of our favorite Korean staples and while shopping, the owner brought in a mung bean pancake from the stand outside for us to try. The prices are really quite reasonable as well. I wish we could have stayed longer, so I can't wait to make another visit in the near future!!!

Had to stop outside to try the foods... Nephew loved the chicken on a stick, we also shared the veggie lo mein and another mung bean pancake.

Sambok Korean Grocery Store in Strip District offers reasonable prices for a wide variety of items. They open early, too. Also, out front of the store you can purchase yummy prepared foods. My favorite is the Mung bean vegetable pancake for $3.00. Don't miss it. I had to take a bite before I took my pic. Sooo good.

We just stopped in as we were doing a quick one day visit to Pittsburgh from Allentown. Just wanted to say that their Kimchi is sooooo good. We love Korean food and it’s hard to find good kimchi. So glad we got it and it’s sad that we live four hours away but if we’re ever back in Pittsburgh, we’ll definitely be stopping by again.

Amazing kimchi! Since moving out of Pittsburgh, I make a point to buy a tub whenever I’m in town.

Honestly, I go there because the owners are so nice. They help me learn Korean, and are so excited to help, even when I’ve known almost nothing. They are just so sweet and so helpful, and now they’re my go-to Korean neighbors to practice speaking in Korean with. ❤

YES to their delicious food stand; great prices and friendly staff. A perfect spot to stop for a quick lunch on the go or if you work in the Strip. They also have a great selection of Korean groceries at a reasonable price.

This is a great store! For their size, they seem to have a huge variety of offerings. The owners and staff are super kind and helpful and their homemade kimchi is delicious! Their outside food stand is awesome and their chicken on a stick is the best! Their prices are reasonable too! It is one of our family’s favorite stops while in the Strip.

They had many Korean ingredients for so many foods that I have been trying to look for without any luck. Finally I came to this store and they had what I was looking for. I bought some of their chicken on a stick and it was wonderful! I also bought some kimchi that I have yet to try. But I have heard good things about it!

Definitely will come again when I'm needing more ingredients.

Great kimchi!!
This place has good reviews for a reason. My dad/grandma are korean. I eat ALOT of rice, Kim, and kimchi. My grandma told me to go here when she fell sick, and I couldn’t get her homemade kimchi, and let me say this place has really good kimchi! (And I’m picky) The longer it was in my fridge for it just kept tasting better and better. I also got seaweed, rice, and sesame oil, and it was about 54$. The woman behind the counter was nice. The store is pretty small, but it has a good variety of things. I will definitely go back again.

always fresh, consistent & authentic!
excellent street food!

in the store they have the best homemade Kim chi in town along with their bean sprout salad. if your cooking Korean this is a great place for authentic ingredients.

always friendly and helpful!

The chicken on a stick is to die for here! I didn't take a picture, but imagine a skewer piled to the tip with the juiciest, most seasoned, and perfectly blackened chicken. It's that good.

Being that I’m half Korean. I’m glad I found this place. I always stock up on my favorite ramen noodles. Very friendly

They have the best kimchi around, and they’re super friendly! I drive an hour and a half just to go here <3 love this place
