As of January 2025, there are no Korean markets in Pasadena

Pasadena is a conservative area. It was traditionally a white residential area, and while the Asian community has gradually mixed in, some residents still maintain conservative tendencies. There are many restrictions on local business permits, making it difficult for Korean markets or large corporate stores to enter the area.

There are large stores like Vons, Pavilions, Bristol Farms, and Trader Joe's, but it is hard to find Asian markets or large Korean markets.

Alhambra and Monterey Park are nearby, making it a good location to access Chinese markets. In particular, Alhambra and Monterey Park have many Chinese markets and various Asian markets, making it much more convenient to find Asian ingredients or food.

Glendale has a well-established Korean community, with many restaurants and a dense Korean area. The Glendale HK market has currently closed.

Just a little further from South Pasadena, you can easily find Korean markets, so you can find information about nearby Korean markets at the link below.
