    My main goal was to pick up some sea snails for my homemade lunch. They were $7.99 per pound, and I got about a pound with 11 large sea snails. The employee who helped me was very friendly and happily helped me pick out the biggest ones. The seafood section was clean, well-organized, and easy to shop. The sea snails tasted fresh, with a slightly sweet, briny flavor and a firm, chewy texture. I was very happy with the quality, especially for the price. Overall, I had a great experience and appreciated the excellent customer service. I'm looking forward to checking out their new food hall when it opens. :)

    **REVIEW FOR NEW HMART EXTENSION** My sister and I finally stopped by the new H Mart extension (the space that used to be 24 Hour Fitness), and it was such a smart way to expand the store. We were a little confused at first about how to get there, but all you have to do is enter through the food court and make a right! Daeho is now much bigger and located inside the new extension. Its old spot in the food court has been taken over by new restaurants, and I believe one of them is a rice cake (tteokbokki) spot that looks really promising. Past Daeho is a stationery and merchandise store. It was major eye candy, but wow... expensive. Even simple items like hair clips and pens started around $10, and most things seemed to be in the $15-20 range, minimum lol... If you take the escalator to the left of the stationery store, you'll find a whole downstairs area! It has several photobooth stations in the back ($10), tons of gachapon (capsule toy) machines that gave me major Japan vibes, what looked like a kitchen appliance store, and an extension of the grocery market. Honestly, the grocery selection downstairs wasn't much different from what you can already find upstairs, so I preferred shopping on the main floor. That said, there was definitely a larger selection of kitchenware downstairs. My sister and I were SO excited to see the photobooth area! It was honestly pretty clean, super cute, and had so many frame designs to choose from. It's $10 for two photo strips, and you can scan the QR code printed on them to download the digital copies to your phone. My only gripe is that there wasn't anywhere to put the photobooth props while taking pictures. We ended up putting our bag on the floor and tossing everything in there between shots. It would be nice if each booth had a small shelf or table for the props. Also... I'm very curious whether they sanitize the props between uses.... Overall, the new H Mart extension is pretty cool and fun.

    Came for the grand opening of their new space that extends the food court into a Korea specific stationary station (HPop). Then head downstairs for a floor of small claw machines, massage area, photo booth and home goods. Looks like there's also another room there that has potential for more. Great add to the market. It's huge. It took over the next door space of what used to be the gym (iykyk). Staff friendly despite the large crowds

    I occasionally shop at H Mart and stopped by on a Saturday around 3 pm. It was busy, and the store feels a bit like Costco, but with a huge selection of Korean, (plus Chinese, Japanese and other Asian) foods and household items. Like Costco, they also have sampling stations throughout the store. During this visit, I sampled barbecue ribs, instant noodles, and cold noodles. The cold noodles were delicious, and I'll definitely pick some up on my next grocery run. This time I bought vegetables and noodles, but the beef, pork, and lamb looked fresh and tempting. I'll definitely be back when I make Korean hot pot. The store is open daily from 8 am to 10 pm, which is convenient. It is well organized, and each aisle is filled with a variety of items that make you want to keep browsing. The food court has several independent food stalls.

    Loving the new renovations with their new downstairs with home goods and expansion of Daeho. H Mart is still pricey, but their meat quality were always amazing. I stopped coming here because it was always so crowded, the aisles were tight and the parking was always full and my wallet is left dry. With all the new markets popping up, they definitely have less customers so in a way, it's kind of nice for the consumers.

    Busy on a Sunday afternoon but parking lot is ample. Many oranges being sold and well priced $1-2 per pound. Some greens $2.50-4 per pound per bag (bok choy or Yu choy are great). Lots of registers for check out so pretty efficient. Many veggies and mushrooms were picked over with some limited stock. Appreciated some sampling of a green tea noodle. Energetic weekend grocery run

    Wow, this place has expanded. They now have more seating for dine-in customers. In addition, they expanded the housewares section to the site of the old 24hr Fitness. Not only that, they have their own version of Popmart. The staff is always friendly, and the store is consistently clean. The food hall/court food is always consistent. The groceries are pretty reasonable for the price. Rice is actually cheaper than Ranch 99.

    This h mart is always well stocked. I think everyone had the same idea as me to do kbbq at home because they ran out of radish wraps. The premarinated bulgogi was really good. The dipping sauce selection is also really good. The salmon sashimi platter was misleading. Some of the pieces were really small.

    We really like the food court at H Mart. They also have a good selection of groceries. Occasionally they run sales, which can be really nice. Being a member also comes with some good perks. Their fresh hot food usually goes on sale after around 6 or 7 PM, which I really like. They also offer many options for banchan, which is something we buy a lot. They have sashimi as well, with a nice selection that isn't overpriced. They also sell Tokyo banana which is nice. Service is pretty normal. nothing particularly good or bad to note. The ambiance is usually busy and can feel a bit cramped at times. It's also always very cold inside. They do have a nice selection of music playing though. Overall, we enjoy coming here and will definitely be back.

    Probably the few Asian market that sells live seafood and the facility probably the cleanest. Be warned to bring a jacket or layers. It's like stepping into a fridge here haha. I came to pick a fish for Chinese New Year celebrations. Got a great deal on the Golden Bass. It was very tasty.

    Monica M.

    I love HMart - just like I love most if not all asian grocery stores... what does set them aside is their quality of meat and produce seems to be premium and the selection of premade and packaged foods can be considered better quality than the smaller mom and pop Korean grocery store offerings. HMart hits a lot of the basic bases and they have a great food court! Service is quick at the register and it's easy to navigate! Only downside is the lack of cell service inside. Otherwise - love this location and i would definitely recommend their combination plates! Such a good value!

    I came here the other day looking for my favorite chips because this is the only grocery store in the area that carries the Roots brand. Unfortunately, they didn't have my favorite ones but they did have a plain bag so I bought that. I also got a ton of other delicious snacksand drinks here and the prices were actually really good. I highly recommend the boba cat pineapple mango drink with popping boba and the matcha cream wafers! Yum! The store was pretty clean but the aisles were narrow and tight and as far as parking goes I must have come right before rush time because I was able to get a spot but the lot got really crazy after I parked and people were blocking the road waiting for spaces to open up so just be aware of that. This is a really popular location and I can see why.

    H Mart has expanded its location, creating a larger and more inviting food court. The downstairs area features numerous claw machines and a variety of soft drinks, making it a delightful spot for kids.

    Ask the Community - H Mart - San Francisco

    Cake from frozen department?

    They have that one popular "Millie Crepe Cake". I don't buy it because I have to watch my calories and sugar intake now. Years ago, we liked the Mango flavor. Enjoy!

    Do they have sales on the pre-made boxed lunch items ? Maybe around closing?

    Omg hot meals n cold sell out before 7 pm I last went a month ago.. during week night

    Do they take ebt card?

    I don't know but I would call customer service to be sure I got the correct info.

    Do they take Apple Pay?

    Yes, they do.

    Food court hours?

    I checked one of the old comments that said the food court opens around 10:30 or 11:00. That would make sense since the vendors aren't really there to serve breakfast.

    Do we need to provide Vaccination cards?

    You definitely don't to shop there, but the last time I was there, you did have to in order to get into the food court.

    Do they accept ebt?

    Yes

    Are small dogs allowed?

    I never seen one in any Yelp photos. That means they're not allowed.

    How late it opening until on Thanksgiving?

    Do you guys accept CalFresh/EBT?

    Yes EBT is accepted but free bags may be limited

    Is there still a line to get in on weekends?

    No lines now.

    Do they have Korean corn dogs?

    If you're looking for piping hot ones, Da S.F.C serves korean corn dogs. Check out their stall towards the back end of the food hall.… 

    Can fully vaccinated people enter the store without a mask?

    Follow the science they said......yes.

    Is the food court open?

    Yes it is open . There is about 5 stores open plus the bakery . I see a lot of take out . No one eating there.

    What time does Tuna live show start weekend?

    It usually happens at 2pm every Friday. Not sure that it happens on the weekends!

    Do we have to line up to get in if we're only going to the food court?

    It might depend who is guiding the line, there usually is a person at the front door deciding. I would try asking the guide first if you can just get food. If anything, they will just tell you to line up. If you decide to eat and shop, I suggest… 

    Do you have to wait in line if you only want to go to the food court?

    There's a separate line for people who are only going to the food court & bakery

    Since the lines are still long apparently, if we wanted to only go to the food court and not the market, could we bypass the line?

    Yes! Just go to the entrance and let the security guard know you're only going to the food court.

    Do you give priority access to frontline workers with ID?

    No, from what I saw the several times that I've gone, everybody has to get into the line to get in!

    Does the store have a smart cart for the senior citzens (handicap)?

    I did not see any when I went there on Saturday. The aisles are too crowded as well - might wanna consider waiting for the hype to die down a bit to better enjoy shopping.

In one incident over a year ago, another customer verbally harassed me and threatened physical harm while I was shopping. Her child was left unattended and was knocking items over, which I reported to security. The guard failed to do his job and did not intervene appropriately. When a supervisor arrived, the situation was handled much more professionally. I should feel safe shopping in my local market. That guard no longer works there, but the experience was upsetting and difficult to move past. Unfortunately, in January 2026, I encountered similar issues with a new security guard. He has repeatedly followed me around the store without cause. Most recently, he approached me unnecessarily, stood uncomfortably close, and spoke to me in an intrusive manner while I was selecting items. His behavior showed poor training and a lack of respect for personal boundaries. These repeated experiences with security staff are negatively affecting the atmosphere at Woodlands. I am a respectful, regular customer and do not want to feel uncomfortable or monitored without cause when shopping. Proper security training and professionalism are essential for customer safety and trust.
