Hung Vuong Market is an independent Vietnamese and pan-Asian specialty grocery in Kansas City’s River Market district, one of the metro’s longest-standing Asian grocery anchors and a destination for Southeast Asian, Korean, and Filipino ingredients and prepared foods.

Description

Hung Vuong Market is a Vietnamese and pan-Asian specialty grocery at 303 Grand Blvd in Kansas City’s River Market district.12 The store is described by multiple sources as a compact but wide-ranging Asian grocery with an inventory rooted in Vietnamese culinary traditions — fresh produce, pantry staples, and prepared items used in Vietnamese, Thai, Filipino, and Korean cooking.34 Reviewers note the store is “much larger and more spacious than it appears from the outside” and that the owners are particularly welcoming and community-oriented.14

The market carries the fresh ingredients and specialty imports — fish sauces, rice varieties, fresh herbs, specialty produce, noodle brands — that Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian households in Kansas City cannot easily source at mainstream chains. Hung Vuong operates Monday through Sunday 9:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. Phone: (816) 221-7754.13

Ownership and history

Hung Vuong Market is an independent, owner-operated Kansas City business with no chain affiliation. Beyond its River Market location and category, the ownership record is thin in public sources: the proprietor’s name, national origin, and founding year are not documented on any official site, local press article, or review platform reviewed here.

The store’s Vietnamese-rooted identity — stock mix, Vietnamese name (Hung Vuong references the legendary Vietnamese Hùng kings), and the Vietnamese-community commentary in reviews — is consistent with Vietnamese immigrant or Vietnamese-American ownership, but no source reviewed states this directly.

The business has an established River Market presence with a mature Yelp review history (updated May 2026) and maintains an official website at hungvuongmarkets.com, indicating an ongoing, actively managed operation.
