Amazon
Ordering Online has become an almost necessary option since the pandemic. Amazon has several Korean snacks that you can have delivered straight to your door. Although they don’t have freshly prepared meals like H-mart or Hannam Supermarket they are the next best option if you don’t have one of these stores in your city.
They have a large assortment of snacks, drinks, and ramen. There’s nothing like watching a tv, drama or variety show and munching on the same items that you’re seeing advertised. *If you’re wondering how to make your ramen, or tteokbokki exactly how you see advertised you might also think about purchasing a Korean cookbook.
