Oh joy, J-Mart has begun to level up their offerings of seafood and banchan!
In contrast to the prior set-up (see for example 11.235 Bibimbab), the new banchan area now occupies an entire corner of the basement and includes more ready-to-eat items.
Previously run by a solo operator making everything in a small on-site kitchen, the food is now prepared by Gukmin Banchan, a small company, in a large purpose-built facility recently constructed on the second floor.
The food was pretty good. Quality ingredients, competently prepared, nicely packaged, reasonably priced (but see below). Definitely worth exploring further.
