| - Is this place called A-MART or Asian Market? The sign says A-MART, the receipt says A-MART, but the labels on the prepackaged food says Asian Market.
I rather shop here over Greenland for a lot of different reasons. Greenland does have the food court, and a butcher, but the A-MART has much better prices.
The bulgogi here tastes way better than Greenland's. But, it is frozen unlike at Greenland where they make it fresh. Personally, I don't care. Korean BBQ beef isn't a type of steak where you have to appreciate the taste of the meat(like a rare piece of Filet Mignon), so I don't care if it's frozen of not. It literally all tastes the same. BTW, a lot of yelpers are far too "bandwagon-ish" and will give good ratings to a place that sucks because all the popular Elites are doing it. For example, in San Diego there is a place called Zion Market that is extremely popular amongst the yelp community down there. The bulgogi over there is very stringy, tough, and hard to chew, yet 90% of the yelp reviews(even by Korean yelpers) will give it 4-5 Stars and say it's the best meat ever. What I am trying to say is that just because A-MART isn't "popular" like Greenland, doesn't mean it's bad. In my opinion, it's actually much better.
A-MART is unique because they actually use a German Bakery to bake and deliver their Korean cream breads. That's pretty cool knowing that some German dude who has the Korean recipe book at his bakery is making better tasting Korean bread than the guy who does it at Greenland.
Like I said in my previous review, A-MART does seasonally have the Chinese variation of kimchi. But, it's rare.
Nothing is written in English here. This place is designed exclusively for Korean people. The thing that weirds me out about most the Korean people here in Las Vegas is that they have zero English. In California, it was rare to find a Korean American who couldn't speak fluent English. Here in LV, most can't speak one word. This shows you how much of a joke those "Teach English In Korea" programs are. (Here comes one of my rants) We all know certain people who during college signed up for the "Teach English in Asia" program. You don't need any special skill to get this job, you don't even have to be able to speak the language of the Asian country they are sending you to. As long as you are White or Black, they send you to Asia because Asian people in Asia have a stereotype that "TRUE AMERICANS" are either White or Black and that Asian-Americans and Latinos cannot obtain "TRUE AMERICAN" status even if we were born in the USA. These programs are a joke. People who usually sign up for these programs are usually flunking college, in practical joke majors(communications, psych(I was a psych major), sociology) and really culturally ignorant(watch this video starting at 10:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUMoHv4Ac-8 ). These Asian education companies pay for these rejects to fly to Asia, they pay for their lodging and food, all living expenses, and they give them 30K a year on top of that. And they don't do sh!t! All they do is sit down in a class room and interact with Asian high school kids. I mean gimme a break...these guys get paid 30K to stand in front of a class while flapping their hands and talking about "Lady Gaga" or "Glee" or some other popular American media icon. And look at the mess it's caused! The Korean and Japanese governments have spent millions on these programs and no one in Korea or JPN can speak a word of English anymore. Before these programs existed, people in Korea were actually able to speak English, but now they can't. These "Teach English in Korea" programs actually made Koreans dumber. That's what happens when you send these American degenerate college kids to Asia, it spreads like a virus. Hey Korea and Japan, Whose fault is that?
BTW, You gotta ask the Latino worker here questions. He is the only guy who speaks English.
The prices here are much much lower than Greenland. At Greenland, only one batch of Green Onions is $1.00. While here at A-Market, it's 5 batches for 1 dollar. The pots and pans are also half the price of Greenland. You will find some really awesome deals here!
They actually sell Japanese Kewpie Mayonnaise here. This is the first place in LV I've seen this at.
Customer Service is good. Remember that in East-Asian culture, if a person can't speak English well, many times they don't attempt at all. Many people interpret this as disrespect but it's not.
Great location btw....A-MART is located near a church which is next to a transsexual club, across the center from "Green Door" and an overrated Thai restaurant which I believe is named "Locusts of Satan". My favorite shopping center in the world!!! YEAHHH!
