Queens - San Francisc

Très chic grocery store. Very curated. Always pop in here. Just have never bought anything.

As a Korean, I’m so glad that there is a store I can swing by and feel “home”. Queens is a unique Korean/Asian supermarket with thoughtfully curated food items and snacks. Their food is on a pricier side but they’re really high quality. Their kimbop, tteokbokki, and mandoo, are totally different from what you’d get from typical Korean restaurants. For some reason, their food reminds me of my grandma’s food — maybe it’s because of the “jang” (means paste, like gochujang) and kimchi they use. It looks like they make some of these fermented produce. I love stores with a strong and unique personality and Queens is definitely one. I highly recommend subscribing to their newsletter and tuning into their stories of running Queens, authentic Korean recipes, and playlists.

Food was really good portions were very big and my friend and I struggled to finish. Loved the ambiance and decor, and definitely will be returning as soon as I can:

Cute little shoplette with an assortment of fresh Korean condiments, drinks, powders, beers and more! Also great that they have a good sized menu to share snacks/grab lunch! Definitely get the jeon and try the gil geori toast! The jeon was more veg than batter which we love and had the best crunch. The toast was a flavor explosion and the sweetness from the jam was a surprising touch. Highly recommend stopping by to check this place out if you're near GGP!

Love their gochujang sauce they sell it by the jar!
