Reliable Market

"Pillar of the community. Great beer and sake selection. Respectable wine selection. Paul works evenings and is super nice and eager to chat about selection whenever you have a question. Got most you could ask for for last minute dinner shopping - some of the white people veg bears a second glance sometimes, but usually all the produce is fresh, and the asian produce is always in great shape in my experience. Dank kimchi of many varieties in the back as well as reasonably priced sushi cuts. 10/10 rivals market basket"

"I've been shopping here for years. Reliable Market is my favorite Asian grocery store in the Boston area. To start with, it's in Union Square, which is generally an excellent place to spend time, so the location is great. The store itself is family-run. Paul curates one of the best beer selections you'll find in Somerville, and I don't say that lightly. The grocery selection is second to none. All kinds of hard-to-find fresh, dried, fermented, and canned goods you simply won't find at other local stores - even in Chinatown for some items. You'll also find distinct produce not available at chain grocery stores such as Thai basil, for example. Good luck finding that one anywhere else nearby. Great wine and sake selection as well. The restaurant in the back is a hidden gem. Their chef will cook you all kinds of wonderful comfort foods and there are a few seats, or you can get it to go. The density of high quality items makes this store a fascinating wonderland of culinary adventure to browse. I come here regularly just to look around and try things, and I always leave with a few things. Never change, Reliable Market! Somerville needs you!"

"Good selection of Asian goods (mostly Korean products). Prices are pretty reasonable and, while it's on the smaller side for a grocery store, it's a good choice when you don't want to trek out to one of the H Marts."

"Great market for Japanese & Korean items, very organized and great variety of different things to choose from. Selection of different types of rice from short grain to long grain. They also have some good cuts of beef to take home to cook as well as prepping items of Asian inspired dishes, a lot of different wines & sake as well. Overall love the extensive items available and friendly service"

"What a market! Incredible selection similar to H Mart - but with a killer craft beer selection. Vegetables, meat, seafood & frozen section. Extensive dry goods and spices. There is also a restaurant with a strong emphasis on Korean food - and it’s delicious and affordable. Counter service, long communal table. Perfect for the market!"
