If you've feasted on galbi or bulgogi at Seoul BBQ, you've likely marveled at the restaurant's array of banchan (those little side dishes of pickled vegetables and salads you get for free in many Korean restaurants). We've got good news for you: You can now get them in bulk — along with many more Korean delicacies — at Seoul Catering, the small grocery shop and bakery right next door at 2080 South Havana Street, which you can enter through Seoul BBQ.

A closer look at some of the things available at Seoul Catering.

Seoul Catering deals mostly in staples and pickles. The space is anchored by cold cases filled with vats of kimchi and clamshells of delicacies like soy-sauce-pickled green chiles, pickled young garlic and spicy cucumbers. There's also a sizable collection of takeout soups and stews, frozen mandoo (or dumplings), quarts of housemade sikhye (that sweet rice drink you're presented at the end of a Korean meal), kimbap (Korean sushi rolls) and ingredients like acorn jelly, which you can take home for your own Korean spread.

And then there's the baked goods section. Bakeries are a sight to behold in Korea, filled with beautiful and elaborate cakes plus a number of pastries of French origin (though slightly doctored). Seoul Catering follows that formula, with baskets of colorful cake rolls flavored with pineapple or green tea, soft bricks of white bread, cream-cheese-filled morning buns, fruit tarts, macarons and much more.

You can also pair your treat with coffee or tea, available at the counter.

The staff tells us that Seoul Catering has been up and running for about three months; it's a worthwhile stop next time you're in that section of Aurora.
