Description

Kimpo Oriental Market in Tucson is a locally beloved Asian grocery store known for its authentic Korean food products and specialty ingredients within a compact yet well-stocked space. Regular shoppers highlight the market’s house-made kimchi and chilled banchan side dishes, with tubs of seasoned vegetables and classic fermented kimchi often cited as standouts that pair perfectly with rice or Korean home-cooking.

Inside, the market carries a diverse range of pantry staples and imported Asian products, from rice, noodles, and sauces to snacks, beverages, and condiments, offering essentials for Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and broader Asian cooking styles. Fresh produce such as radish, Asian chives, ginger, and red chiles can sometimes be found, supporting a variety of recipes from stews to side dishes.

Visitors often mention the friendly and helpful staff, alongside a refrigerated deli section with house-made items like kimchi, banchan, and occasionally freshly made gimbap or soups on certain days, adding a flavorful, ready-to-eat dimension to the market beyond packaged goods.

While compact compared with larger Asian supermarkets, Kimpo Oriental Market’s focused assortment and reputation for quality Korean products make it a favorite neighborhood destination for both everyday groceries and specialty ingredients that are harder to find elsewhere in Tucson.
