The O-Mart

Great variety of Asian groceries. Clean supermarket. I got all my favorite Asian delights from green curry paste, udon noodles to green tea kitkat and mochi.

I only go to this place for two reasons, chicken bulgogi and Yaki Mandu. I can’t deal with the smell of the store but I will hold my breath for this delicious food. The last time I was there the cashier was pretty rude BUT I got over it and ate my delicious bulgogi.

I’ve been eating Korean food since I was four. Now that I’m military like my parents were, I’ve been stationed there twice, total of 4.5 years. Just left a two year tour there in July 2015. This is not quite possibly but IS the absolute WORST excuse for Korean food I’ve ever tasted!!! I say excuse because this wasn’t even close to Korean food. I mean Broccoli and peas in my bulgogi??? Eeew the food was literally nasty!!!

The last couple of times I’ve eaten here, it seems that the quality has been lacking. Plus the «music» and I use that term loosely was way too loud to even shop.

This is for the food court — I never had any problems till recently. I called in my order on a Saturday & the woman on the phone told me it would take thirty mins to get my food done because their workers were on break. This was around 4… why would you take a break when dinner hours is about to start… I don’t know. My boyfriend goes there 20 mins later and the woman was very rude to him saying she told me it would take thirty mins after they came back from break. There was a clear miscommunication, but that doesn’t mean you need to be rude…

On a cold wintery night is there a better dish than spicy kimchi soup??? Wow. This really hits the spot for me. This shabby looking place inside a grocery store has been one of my favorites for many years. I always leave here with the content tummy. Don’t come here looking for a fine dining experience. Do come here for a great korean food experience, an unadulterated pure korean experience of the market of the bygone era. Wish they served soju. A must try for all of you!

Food was great at the little restaurant inside you can eat there or to go. The store itself is really authentic and the Kimchee is amazing!!! Always go here at least 1 time a week.

What a unique find for Killeen TX. I love grocery shopping here as you can find some very unique items you cannot get anywhere else. I highly recommend their pears, so big, so juicy, just great overall, and their bulgogi. They have a restaurant which has good food but is VERY SLOW, hence the 4 stars. Also the overall appearance of the store is run down. But overall a very good store you should try out, I also enjoy their kimchi.

Like the only place in Killeen that sales Jajamyun, they are fast, it’s a nice, spacious siting area available. Not tv a or anything but me and my husband enjoy sitting down in there, sometimes they do have flies though. But food is good. Also affordable. Less than 20 $ for me and hubby, oh and the portion size is great

This place is an awesome spot to get a great soup when your hangover under ten dollars. In addition, there is a Korean Menu, Chinese menu, and a teriyaki menu. The restaurant is situated inside the oriental grocery store for a one stop eat and shop.

Monopoly here in town. It’s the only Asian store around here. I don’t recommend buying anything fresh here. Or at least check expiration date on every item you buy here. Dry stuff is good but you can get those from Amazon too. Little restaurant there can be good but very inconsistent. Don’t expect good service. If you go in with low expectation, this place is not so bad. Good for those dry products that you don’t find in Amazon.

It is a miracle that I even found an Asian market here in Killeen. I come from an area where you could walk down the street & there would be an oriental market around every corner. They have most things a typical market like this would carry but not quite all. I came here exploring every corner. You have your frozen dumpling corner, kitchen utensil, snacks, seaweed, rice, blankets, canned goods, seasoning, meat, fish, veggies, noodles, tofu, weird food only we would eat, all that jazz. The service was good. I’d prefer HEB. Not because of that slight fishy stench bothered me but I could find most of the things in here at HEB. If necessary, I’d come here for the fact that I will not drive hours just to go search for another Asian market.

I like the selection, but the smell…
Here’s the deal,
The Good:
Really great selection and variety. Almost any Asian food you can think of is here. I can spend two hours just googling new products (I’m adventurous, to a point). The staff are helpful in their suggestions and are always keen to guide me to new stuff that won’t give me nightmares.
The Bad:
The seafood and meat area smells like rotten fish. I’ve been to a fish monger, they don’t smell like this. This smell is rank and seriously needs addressed. I don’t care what you have, nothing should smell so bad that it stays in my nose for an hour. If you do sell smelly stuff you need to ventilate. A couple of fans and keeping the fish at the right temperature would be a great start.
The Skinny:
Go. You will go back. Just avoid the fish/​meat area like the smelly plague it is.

This place is my kryptonite. Always find my Asian cooking needs here. Some of the best prices in town. I have only eaten at the café once and enjoyed it very much. Sometimes the produce section can be a little sparse but not too often. Love to buy short ribs here. Great for Sous vide cooking. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

I love this place! Great and friendly. I love hearing the sound of the kitchen hard at work. They’re always busy, so you know that the food is going to be amazing.
It’s worth the wait.

Review for Pork Bulgogi ($ 8.99). I don’t like it. the meat was too sweet and hard, kimchi taste weird.
Koreana Restaurant located W Rancier Avenue so much better in term of food quality, side dishes, portion, environment and service.

I love Omart! If I need an ingredient and cannot find it anywhere I always find it at O Mart. They also have a lot of things in bulk that you can’t find anywhere like peeled fresh garlic.
The price is usually right too, for food that is. If you start looking at housewares then that’s different but there again you find things that aren’t easy to find like fermenting pots.
Also even though I’m not asian I still feel welcome there. I go there often and every time I go I find something new and different.

Restaurant: food was alright, I did like the pork bulgolgi! On the other hand the tofu soup was definitely not good in terms of it not tasting how it suppose to.
Comparing the tofu soup to the one in Carrollton and Austin, it tasted nothing like my favorite Korean dish. Oddly, people here on Unilocal,raves about it.
Café: my friends say it was alright, since she’s a drink expert
Omart: a given for priciness, I bought kimchi here for 7.99 in a jar that my dumbass did not read the ingredients and found out it has MSG in it. That’s not all, either it was the msg or other ingredient … It tasted spoiled. I thought maybe it was just me but it wasn’t …
I’ll just go home to dfw, and buy my kimchi there which cost less and no added msg. As well as the deliciousness of what kimchi is!!!
Ps: I would of given it a two star rating if they didn’t have my favorite ramen bibim men :) they need to stock up on that ! ASAP

To be clear, I’m just reviewing the deli.
After a long day visiting Ft Hood, my co-​workers and I wanted some chow before heading back to Austin. One of our party used to be stationed there and recommended we get some Korean food at O Mart. I’m always down for trying something new, so we trotted in.
We all got the same thing, the dolsot bibimbap, and it was delicious. Piping hot bowl and all the good ingredients with a raw egg that sizzles once you stir. The spicy sauce was good too, almost sweet, but still had kick. The miso soup and kimchee were good, and we had more than enough food. The cashier was friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back if I were in Killeen again.

This Korean grocery store is literally a one-​stop shop for almost anything you need. Prices are a little bit higher here, but most of this stuff is imported. So, off the top of my head, I’ll list what you can find:
— Fresh Produce and Fruit: If you like durian, they have it in an enclosed case by the Deli.
— Imported Specialty Items: You can find aisles dedicated just for soy sauce, seaweed, spices, candy, snacks, etc. Ramen (individual or bulk) such as: Nong Shim Shin Ramyun, MAMA, Sapporo Ichiban, etc.
— Vietnamese/​Thailand/​Indian/​Filipino section near the candy aisle. You can find items like Knorr Sinigang mix, Thai tea mix, tapioca/​boba, spices, banh phở dried noodles, rock candy, palm sugar, etc.
— Drinks: Korean Aloe Vera Juice (yum), tea, coffee, and canned Thai tea.
— Barber/​Beauty Shop: I sometimes get a trim by Kim here for $ 12. Make sure you watch her closely because she can get a bit carried away lol.
— Cafeteria: Bulgogi, galbi, and yaki mandu is really good here! I noticed that their kimchi sometimes has a lot of ginger and is too sour. Tip: get the kimchi from the deli because it’s better.
— Deli: Located in the back, you can find: marinated meats, pre-​sliced meats, pickled vegetables, and kimchi ready-​made or in a jar. The employee informed me that the jarred kimchi is more fermented (sour) versus the freshly-​made version in the deli. I prefer it fresh. So good!
— Boba Café: Located by the entrance. I usually get the strawberry snow with boba. They usually don’t put enough tapioca balls and you have to pay extra for it. (Tip: Chau’s Café in the same plaza has more variety, tastes better, and is cheaper).
— Seafood: Located by the Deli in the back, there’s hardly any fishy smell that you would expect from typical Asian markets. Most of the seafood are on ice, but you can get them fresh from the aquarium.
Misc:
— Kitchenware
— Household Goods
— Photo Development and Photography
— Western Union
— Purified Water: filling station
— Loud K-​Pop music while you shop

Primarily caters to a Korean clientele, but a decent selection for what you need in Killeen. It’s clean in the interior and well-​lit. They didn’t have the rice that I was looking for, but that’s ok. I’m not expecting a supersize Asian Walmart version here. I stop in here when I’m in the area to get basics.
Their boba is ok, but I was disappointed that you don’t get a lot of boba in your cup. :(
