Queens

Queens is a Korean American food brand born in San Francisco and rooted in the vibrant cultural legacy of co-founders Clara Lee and Eddo Kim. What began as a beloved neighborhood superette in the Inner Sunset has grown into a national food company, sharing carefully crafted Korean pantry staples and ferments in over 200 stores across the country.

At the heart of Queens is a deep respect for tradition, sustainability, and place. Clara and Eddo work directly with local farmers and producers to source exceptional ingredients, bypassing the environmental toll of overseas importing. Their products are made using traditional fermentation and preservation methods that allow the true character of the ingredients to shine—bold, honest, and unmistakably Korean.

Queens' offerings reflect both traditional Korean cuisine and the creativity of the diaspora. It’s food that bridges cultures while staying rooted in integrity, offering a way to connect with Korea’s rich flavors through a distinctly Californian lens.
