Still the go to Korean joint. Prices have increased over the last year but I can say confidently, it's simply to afford the proper and correct portions of ingredients to secure a well balanced and true to taste Korean menu. Thanks for all you've done for me Dong Yang, your service as encouraged my soul in many times of need.

I've been coming here for years, mainly for the restaurant. While the grocery portion is nice, sometimes they don't have everything you are looking for. Would recommended supporting this local business! Plus, the staff is friendly and there is plenty of parking.

This shop is small and there are so many choices and brands, wall to wall. It may seem overwhelming, but after a quick glance you'll notice things are pretty easy to find due to the organized setup. Since you've worked up an appetite shopping, there's even a small restaurant inside with a sweet halmeoni (grandma) ready to take your order. Fairly priced and delicious traditional Korean dishes. If you do place a takeaway, your order comes with banchans (side dishes) too. We loved their Haemul-pajeon (seafood pancakes). The pajeon is a bit crispy, a bit soft and fluffy, and is loaded with an array of awesome vegetables, shrimp, and squid.

This is probably the most authentic and delicious Korean food in the twin cities, or perhaps in Minnesota. Their food is delicious-- I think the dolseot bibimbap is probably one of the best I've ever had. The people who work there are efficient, kind, and passionate. It's a small place so there are not many tables, and every time I've gone it's been full. Try their kimbap, jajangmyeon, or their japchae

Korean mom and pop shop with food stall inside. I stopped by here killing time after work before going to see a friend. The other reviews were pretty consistent with the experience of the store and restaurant and sets expectations. The store: has all the standard Korean grocery products from kimchi, gochujang, rice, etc. There is a small produce section, which if you're craving a certain Korean variety of radish or peppers: are available and not too pricey at that. The inventory does need some controls. There were products that were passed due and needed to be thrown out. Make sure to check the dates and inspect the goodies. The restaurant food: It is very traditional, and good assortment from beef to seafood and the rice bowls. I ordered the dumplings-mandu and stir fried squid-ohjingnu bokgeum. The mandu was fried right, but the filling was uninteresting. There was maybe tofu? Maybe some noodles. Typing this made me realize the only part I remembered was the crispy texture being on point. The squid stir fry is one my favorite dishes to order and their take was very traditional and standard. It's a sweet and spicy gochujang based sauce that's mildly addictive with a nice spice level- not MN though :P good assortment of veggies and squid. Comes with the banchan/ sides of steamed bean sprouts, fish cake, and kimchi and rice. Parking is plentiful since it shares a building with harbor freight away from the other part of the strip mall. Grocery buggies are outside to grab, but the aisles are a tad bit tight. If wanting traditional kick, good option to check out in the Twin Cities.

This is a Korean grocery store next to Harbor Freight, with its own designated entrance. I almost walked into the harbor freight entry, mainly because I wasn't paying attention. You'll find most of your common Asian condiments, snacks, meat & etc but mainly Korean ingredients. I love that there is a dedicated aisle for all kinds of seaweed! You will also find premade side dishes, kimchi and pickled radishes. Located in the Dong Yang market is a lovely deli! Plenty of seating for such a small space. Ordering was easy since they had an overhead menu but deciding on what to eat is the hard part! There's a good variety of dishes including stews, bibimbaps, japchaes, short ribs, and gimbap! I got the Kimchi stew and Korean short ribs. I love that the kimchi stew came out boiling hot in a stone pot and with lots of sides! The sides are my favorite and the white rice is actually pretty fluffy, approved! The short ribs was sweet and chewy. I couldn't really bite it off and had to tug it a bit off the bones or into smaller pieces. Somehow I expected it to fall off the bones but maybe I'm wrong about this dish. Kimchi dish was ok, as expected with lots of kimchi and a few tofu but pairs well with the white rice! The food was good and the dish size was a good size and big in my opinion. Food came out quicker than I expected. Maybe because there wasn't a lot of people on the day I went, Sunday evening. Overall huge parking lot, friendly service and good portion sized Korean dishes! Will come back to try the other dishes! And yes both gender bathrooms in the back!

I love a good mom and pop store and Dong Yang definitely lives up to the small Asian groceries around here in the twin cities. It has a great selection on all things Korean and more, and everything is priced pretty well! One thing I love about big Asian groceries is that you can eat and shop all in one stop, and Dong Yang is a mini version compared to markets like Hmart. We ordered the japchae and bibimbap and were able to shop for our groceries and also the best fresh kimchi around Minneapolis :) Our food came out decently quick and I was excited for some authentic flavors. The japchae came with a side of rice and bonchon, including fish cakes, bean sprouts, and spicy pickled veggie. It was way more food than we needed, but I personally liked the bibimbap more since the japchae was a little bit on the too oily and salty ide for me. I'm definitely going to have to return to try their other dishes on the menu!

I alway have a good feeling when there's a mini Korean restaurant inside a korean grocery store. So far, they've all tasted super yummy with a decent price. I feel like everything is family own to keep the price reasonable. There's a few tables and it can get busy. You order at the counter first and the menu is on the wall with pictures and names so you know what you get :). They give you a post-it note with a number and that's how you get called. Make sure you keep the note because they collect it when you get your food. I think they reuse the post-it . Black bean noodles- I was actually craving this dish to go get Korean food. Was a little disappointment. Didn't come with cucumbers or eggs. I honestly don't know if there's meat in this like other places. The portion is big so definitely shareable. 2.5/5 Seafood Pancake- delish with a good portion. Sauce is great. What's not to like? Highly recommend 5/5 Kalbi- this was juicy and tender. A good portion for the price compared to most or any other places. It is not overly cooked as you can see not burnt. Definitely good. 4.5/5 Sides- they give you a good portion of size. Each main dish get a large portion of rice too! More rice than any other places for togo lol. Perks of eating here is you can buy the side dishes to bring home along with other Korean stuff. I picked up a few things. Their kimchi is quite tasty as well. On a note, it's weird that they rip the big togo box in half to use it as a plate for some dishes as pictured. We didn't finish the pancake and because it was cut, there was no top to close. Went to ask for a new box but they only give out small togo boxes and says big one is not available. I get the concept of saving but maybe give the whole box or just put it in a dish and wash more? Just thought it was odd. Overall, love the food and feel. Will definitely be back to try other stuff as well and pick up more side dishes.

Fun discovery in Hiltop, MN. We spent time in AM at Top Golf and were hungry. Luckily this place was 10 minutes away. It is tucked in a quiet strip mall in a residential area. The grocery store is not too busy but as you go to the back of the store behold another world of people ordering and eating food. Menu covers the traditional dishes (e.g., black bean noodles, kimchi tofu soup, japchae, etc.). Prices were much cheaper but about $1-2 more from the photos on Yelp due to rising inflation. This was a fun experience. The food was plenty and made for a solid lunch.
