Nami's Asian Market

Nami’s Asian Market is a locally owned, compact Asian grocery and convenience store in north Phoenix that offers a curated selection of Korean and broader Asian groceries without the size of a full supermarket. Shoppers describe it as a small but well-stocked space where you can find essentials for Korean-style home cooking alongside popular snacks, drinks, and quick-to-prepare items.

Among the refrigerated offerings, customers highlight homemade banchan side dishes and kimchi, made traditionally and ready to pair with rice or mains at home. These chilled Korean sides stand out in a market that doesn’t have the full scale of larger chain supermarkets but focuses on authentic, freshly prepared Korean flavors.

Beyond kimchi and banchan, Nami’s carries a selection of cold grab-and-go foods, desserts, imported snacks, beverages, and everyday grocery items — everything from Asian candies and chips to bottled drinks and pantry staples. Visitors note that while the space is small, the product variety is surprisingly broad for its size, and there’s often something new or seasonal in the chillers or on the shelves.

The market’s location adjacent to a Korean restaurant (Nami Korean Kitchen & Sushi) makes it easy to stock up on ingredients or take home prepared sides after a meal, and many regulars appreciate having a nearby alternative to larger Asian supermarkets farther from this part of Phoenix.
