Vietnamese and Korean Market in or near London

[gtrekker2003]

Any recommendations of where I can find a vietnamese or korean market / grocery store?

Oh!

And there's a new (6 month) Korean market called the Korean Centre on Charing Cross road. Very central.

The Korea Centre, 71-73 Charing Cross Road, WC2H 0NE

For the Korean, check out Seoul Plaza, they have a few locations including one on High Street, New Malden. If you're based in North London like me, then the one on Golders Green Road is most convenient.

For the Vietnamese, there's a relatively new and impressive store on Hackney Road called Longdan. They carry lots of Vietnamese items but also more generally pan-Asian items - it's a good store with a good range and decent prices.

There is also a Korean supermarket just facing the row of Korean restaurants on St Giles' High Street near Tottenham Court Road tube, almost underneath Centrepoint.

And one in Store St in Soho, iirc.

Yup, Hanna Supermarket. (Has a small cafe in the basement - very popular with UCL & SOAS Korean students).

And another downstairs in the basement from Tomoko (a Korean restaurant on Charing Cross Road).

....and New Malden Hight Street for Korean, there is a very large Korean population in the area.

I went to New Malden High St and saw plenty of Korean restaurants but didn't see a supermarket. Must have missed it. Would it be away from the high street? would really love some thinly cut beef ribs for Kalbi.
