Love H-Mart! Great selection, but the customer service lady clearly resents having to do customer service. Honestly, avoiding her might be doing you both a favor.
**February 2024: Monday Early Evening Visit** I'm a fan of Asian grocery stores in general especially their grab and go items as the selection is more flavorful than Western markets. I did have some reservations about coming to this H-Mart since it's nested right in the middle of a very busy part of LA. Thankfully, they have their own parking structure and they validate! Whew! The shopping experience in this location is must small and tighter than locations in the suburb (as expected), but I felt that in the heart of k-town that they had a good assortment of the basics. I wanted to grab a tray of kimbap and also found a pop-up sweet potato cart which was unexpected, but welcomed! This is definitely an option if I need something quick and healthy before going to the Magic Castle or other Hollywood attractions.
Located within a shopping plaza, this is a medium sized supermarket inside with all your typical Korean grocery needs. There's also a vast selection of Korean side dishes at reasonable prices, many options to look at to take home. It's very clean and organized in here with neat displays. Staff are quick at checkout, lines were not long.
It's a bit pricy everybody says but they got really good deals sometimes When it's not definitely on the higher side Been helping a lot since I moved from my parents and this place helps me to keep to my family roots and literally have everything you ever need in your life Thanks a lot !
I love that this location is fairly close to me! The store is smaller than the other ones I've been to but they honestly have everything you need. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all so I easily shopped and out of there in 15 mins. They have freshly made food to buy daily and most importantly, a decent size parking garage. It is also attached to MaDang Courtyard which is a very cute small outdoor shopping mall if you're looking to grab a quick bite.
I was introduced to this location by a friend of mine who's interested in the Korean culture. She frequenced this location for her usual groceries. I must admit I have fell in love with some products. I love the wide array of noodles, rice, spices amongst other things. The people are so polite and the cashiers are wonderful. The store is clean and plentiful. Shopping here can become quite addictive. I will definitely be back...once again
Was in town for a Christmas party and wanted to do some Korean grocery shopping so I chose this one, as it's in the Plaza. Two birds with one stone - grocery shopping and lunch in the food court. When I lived in L.A., H Mart was not one of my go-to's. Plaza Market was my favorite market and this H Mart replaced it. And I tried the H Mart in Rosemead (?) and their banchan dishes were ick. However, now that I live in Vegas, I can't wait for it to open here. Korean grocery prices seem to have jumped more than "regular" groceries, at least here in Vegas. So I was blown away by the prices here. The items on sale were fantastic! So of course I had to stock up. And get my favorite/the best mandarin oranges. The cashier asked me if I was a member and when I said no, he asked me if I wanted to sign up so I said yes, figuring it'll come in handy when the Vegas store opens early next year. He handed me the application and swiped the card on the spot. Saved me $30. C'mon H Mart, hurry up and open the Vegas store! We're all waiting hungrily.
