Online Reviews Summary

Y-Mart is widely praised as one of the best-stocked and most authentic Korean supermarkets in Germany. Customers appreciate the wide variety of Korean products, including fresh groceries, frozen foods, ready-to-eat meals, bakery items, and homemade dishes like kimbap, jokbal, jeongol, and soups. Many note that the quality of food is close to what you’d find in Korea, making it a top choice for Korean cuisine lovers. The store is described as clean, well-organized, and modern, with a stylish layout and helpful staff. However, it's often crowded, and parking can be limited. Prices are generally fair for imported goods, though some find them a bit high compared to other Asian stores. The online ordering experience is also praised—especially the careful packaging and freshness of delivered items.

    Recommendation:

    I (Matthias) highly recommend this market. This is the best Korean supermarket in Germany that I have visited so far.

    Price Range: €€ - €€€

    Imported products are usually more expensive.

    Well-stocked with a wide selection of products

    For me, Y-Mart is the best East Asian supermarket in Germany I have visited so far. The very clean and tidy atmosphere is inviting to shop. In addition to the usual canned goods, sauces and fresh vegetables, Y-Mart offers a variety of unusual Korean products, homemade dishes and fresh meats in the Korean style.

    You won't believe it! During my time in Korea, I often drank the Korean energy drink Oronamin C and had been searching for it in Germany to no avail. FINALLY the time came and I actually found this drink in Germany. For a price of 1.55€ it is about twice as expensive as in Korea but for a few bottles I'll gladly pay. You can find more about Oronamin C here in this post!.

    After a long day in and around Frankfurt, I enjoyed the delicious food from Y-Mart with my girlfriend at home the next day. There was, as usual, Jokbal with many side dishes.

      Thank you so much! I'm moving out of my family home soon and heading to exciting Frankfurt. I'll take this as an opportunity to cook Japanese and Korean food more often. I was really happy to hear that you can recommend restaurants and an Asian market.
