Korean ingredients

Any ideas about where to find Korean products (in particular a red pepper paste called "kochujung"),ideally in midtown Toronto.
Thanks

    It's a staple. PAT is the place.

      If your path takes you north you can hit up the Yonge corridor between Finch and Sheppard. There is a Korean grocer beside St. Louis ... about 4-5 blocks up from North York City Centre.

      There is also a Korean grocer closer to Finch (I believe).

        i think the ones you are referring to are the H-Marts, near Church and another further north: http://www.hmartca.com/mall/index.php

        there's another grocer (PAT) on spring garden which is 2 blocks north of sheppard on east side of yonge: http://patmart.net/pat/springgarden

      You'll also find it at the korean grocers on bloor if you would rather head south then north. I'm pretty sure I have also bought it at T&T if you ever find yourself near one of their stores. Finally, there is a Korean grocer on Laurence 1/2 block west of Warden if you find yourself east of midtown.

        Oh good call, I totally forgot about the PAT markets. There are several around the city.

        Not in midtown, but Galleria is your source for all things Korean. It's the Korean equivalent of T&T. One on York Mills, between Don Mills and Leslie. One on Yonge, near Steeles.
