Is there a foreign import store near Gangnam station?

I'm looking for green chilis (in a can), oatmeal and sour cream.

Namdaemun Market. Near Entrance by Namdaemun Gate (Burned down). Orange building with BYC on it. Go to the basement. Sweet place to score North America goods.

I know they sell sour cream at the Emart at Sulleung station. Not sure about oatmeal. If by green chilies, you mean jalapenos, then they have it, too.

There's not even a supermarket near Gangnam station, much less a place that sells imported goods - unless you consider the Emart at Yangjae or Dai Chi/Seollung to be nearby Gangnam station.

Try your luck at Emart near Seoullung Station.

On the same street as the Emart, but a couple blocks west, there is a "Sweet Things" which sells a lot of imported goods. There is also a sweet things at CoEx.

The department stores at Gangnam bus terminal and Samsung Station might have a few imported goods in the basement food section. Be prepared to pay up the nose.

Do you mean Sweet Space? I used to get some western goods from the one in Apgujeong when I lived there at reasonable prices.

Yes, it's called Sweet Space.

But as long as you're at Coex anyway, be sure to go to Hyundai Dept store, to their grocery store. They have a large imported foods section, including all the same stuff that's in Sweet Space, plus a lot more. (But they don't have oatmeal). Hyundai grocery store, in the refrigerator section near the milk, does have sour cream, though.
