About Batavia Indonesian Mart
Ansan's Damunhwa-gil, a short walk from Exit 1 of Ansan Station, is often described as the most multicultural street in South Korea, lined with Vietnamese, Uzbek, Filipino, Thai, and Indonesian businesses serving one of the country's largest concentrations of migrant workers. Batavia Indonesian Mart operates on an upper floor of a building at 4 Damunhwa-gil, sharing the address with Warung Batavia, an Indonesian restaurant of the same name already listed in this directory, with the mart and restaurant functioning as related but distinct businesses under one roof.
The shop has been described by Korean food media, including a widely viewed video from YouTuber Sunny Dahye, as the largest Indonesian supermarket in the country, and its shelves reflect that scale. Instant noodle brands Indomie and ABC take up a significant section, alongside Indonesian biscuits, wafers, teas, and instant coffee. A range of instant spice mixes covers dishes like fried fish, fried tempeh, rendang, and chicken soup, sitting near bottles of sweet soy sauce and sambal. Refrigerated and frozen cases hold beef meatballs, halal chicken, tempeh, and vegetables that are otherwise difficult to find in Korea, such as long beans, bitter melon, and fresh chilies. The store also stocks Indonesian toiletries and over-the-counter remedies, including soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and medicines familiar to Indonesian shoppers but rarely found on Korean shelves.
The business's own Instagram account lists the shop as closed on Thursdays, though beyond that its posted hours were not consistent enough across other sources to confirm with confidence, so specific opening times are left unlisted here pending direct verification.
For Indonesian workers and students living around Ansan, many of them employed in the manufacturing plants that first drew migrant labor to the city, Batavia Indonesian Mart functions as a practical substitute for a trip home, stocking the packaged staples and fresh substitutes that make everyday Indonesian cooking possible far from Indonesia. It fills a gap in this directory as South Korea's first grocery listing, despite the country already carrying sixteen restaurant, banking, and diplomatic entries.
