A-Ri-Rang Oriental Market

A-Ri-Rang Oriental Market is a smaller, locally cherished Korean grocery and food destination tucked into its Eubank Boulevard location, blending a compact market selling Korean and Asian grocery staples with a home-style Korean restaurant inside. Regular visitors describe the market as well stocked for its size, with shelves and chilled cases offering imported Korean ingredients such as gochujang, ssamjang, kimchi, frozen dumplings, and vegetables like enoki mushrooms that support authentic Korean cooking at home.

The restaurant section — nestled alongside the grocery aisles — has a cozy, intimate atmosphere with limited seating, where customers enjoy freshly prepared Korean staples that pair perfectly with the market’s groceries. Dishes that reviewers frequently highlight include spicy bulgogi, bibimbap (including dolsot bibimbap), haemul pajeon (seafood pancake), mandu (dumplings), japchae, and kimchi jjigae. Many meals are served with classic Korean side dishes such as kimchi and pickled banchan alongside rice.

Shoppers and diners alike note that A-Ri-Rang’s flavorful food and authentic Korean pantry offerings make it a hidden gem in Albuquerque — with the combination of market and restaurant giving visitors the chance to both stock up on Korean ingredients and eat traditional dishes without leaving the building.
