The prices are much better than Asian markets, the food is fresh, and it's packaged very carefully. I need to buy groceries from Wee every week, but there's no fresh food delivery service through Gofftown, so I can only order through a friend or acquaintance. It's a shame because it's so inconvenient! Hopefully, they will offer fresh food delivery through Gofftown in the future. I'll only buy from Wee and won't need to go to any other market anymore.

The pork fat is a bit thin, but it makes delicious, crispy cracklings.

if you have to get one meat for your next korean bbq night, pick THIS ONE! the fat crisps up and it has the best chew, but isn’t too fatty/unpleasant to chew at all! i marinate overnight in sesame oil, a splash of soy sauce or ponzu, and a ton of black pepper! SO GOOD!

It's good because it's vacuum-packed and it's a little thick so it's chewy.
