Will you be able to do all you grocery shopping here? Probably not. Is it the cleanest, best kept, nicest smelling place? No, get over it. But does it have the best selection of Asian specialty ingredients? Also no. Hana World Market is a gift to the neighborhood, despite all that. It's a convenient place to find affordable Korean, Chinese, and some Japanese goods without spending a whole day of it. They have a fabulous selection of kimchi, miso paste, tofu, noodles, tea, hot sauce, and more. I find find vegetables that few other places carry, like celtuce, pea leaves, and kabocha. Anytime I'm craving kimbop, I know I can hit up the freezer aisle and find tons of vegan options, way better than Trader Joe's. They have the edge over H-Mart and 99 Ranch for the exact reason that they're not as big. Even on a Saturday afternoon, the vibe is chill. There's space to navigate with a full cart. There's room in the parking lot. I can get what I need and not stress over crowds. Of course, there's the food court and coffee stand, which are attractions in and of themselves. I just go for groceries and I'm not disapointed. read more

First time shopping here today. Recommended by friend and family. I go to H Mart regularly. I will continue to do so. This place is, candidly, a bit run down in terms of its vibe, with a nonspecific not pleasant smell that is a turn off. With that said, excellent prices on pork and soft shell crab. I also bought some ginger powder and quail eggs. The coffee bar at the front made a great latte ... read more

This was a cool store to check out. They have a great snack selection and viral TikTok ice cream treats. All around fun to check out but the smell is rough in the fish area. Probably not much you can do about that. Also the sushi was not in a cold area, I definitely would not avoid buying that there. I liked that they had lots of kitchen items too. read more

I've been here numerous times, but held up on writing review primarily because my personal experience with Asian markets and food is not up to speed. I usually just come here to purchase some jasmine green tea and soy or teriyaki sauces. That's about the extent of my knowledge of this place, so I thought I'd add plenty of photos. I will point out that they definitely have a nice restaurant section and the Ramen Del Barrio is a very popular spot and there's usually a lunch line. There's also some satellite shops surrounding this business, including a salon. I did notice that when I was looking around, things looked a little bit sketchy with sushi sitting out warm and some live seafood languishing in the iced down bins. The produce section was surprisingly filled with fresh veggies though. They have a very large freezer section and a great selection of saki's and rice wine. They do have some cold domestic beer, including Asian beer, but no craft beer, except for Guinness. As I was looking at the ingredients lists on many of the items here, it seems that sugar and corn syrup are a major staple. I wish they had some active demos on the products they sell here, it would inspire me to try something new. However, I'll still keep coming here getting the things I'm familiar with. read more

This place hold some great treasures!! Has my favorite ramen spot in town. Has a good food court in general. The coffee/dessert spot is good as well. I do some grocery shopping here at times as well. Even though there's several businesses in this one place, everyone has been super nice and helpful. My only complaint is when I go eat there, it has a fishy odor at times. Nothing I can't handle but when I take others, they usually say something about it. read more

I love love love this Asian market. There's so much variety and good stuff to try. I could easily and gladly spend over an hour in the candy aisle alone. It would be a tragic day for my bank account. First thing though, it's big! Tons of space that's always super clean. Plenty of room to browse without being intrusive to other shoppers. Also, it's well organized. You'll figure it out after one quick go around. The staff is always so nice! It might take a minute to find someone to help you, but once you do they're great. They'll explain what they can no problems. Also note, at the entrance there's a big bulletin board of cool stuff around town. I saw an add for English lessons, a Kpop night at a nearby library, and I think an upcoming performance of a local band. Pretty neat stuff to check out and get more into the Asian cultures in ATX. read more

This place is amazing the staff are very friendly and the what they have in stock is awesome still can't believe they are closing down cause of some heartless jerk still lets do what we can to show support to them before closing read more

I have been introduced to some of my favorite food and snacks because I bought it on a whim here. They have a lot of fresh produce, meat/seafood and a wide variety of snacks, drinks and sauces. The food court and cafe are a welcoming touch too. Best part is they have a rewards program if you give them your number for future discounts. I appreciate the size of the market, it's less overwhelming than HMart with a great selection of goods still. read more

The food is amazing and the products of the grocery store are awesome. I really do love this location and the choices of food in their food court. But..... the building itself needs some revamping. These are two pictures from the food court bathroom that really made reconsider every choice I've made here. I was using the bathroom trying not to step on what was on the ground next to me and then I feel something drip on me from the ceiling. I was hungry for my lunch break, but after seeing where the employees use the bathroom made me think if the kitchen looks like this also. That being said the two star review is for the super outdated bathroom read more

Love - variety, specialized items, cultural flair. Hate- smell. Overbearing toxic cleaner smell in meat market area, and fresh deli items had that taste inside food... I recommend Medina orange oil to replace the grotesque cleaner they're using or just plain alcohol. So sad to ruin this establishment with such a easily changeable problem!! read more

This is my favorite Asian supermarket. It's far away from where I live, but I always get some groceries here if I go to the Walnut Creek greenbelt to hike. What I like about Hana is that it's never crowded and has everything I need (condiments, sauces, frozen seafood, soondubu kit, lotus roots, and sambal oelek). Their fresh produce looks good, although I only bought mushrooms and onions there last time. Their food court has mochinut, ramen del barrio, and the Korean restaurant. Hana isn't as bustling as HMart or 99 Ranch, but honestly I prefer that. read more

look i've never in this darn city seen such an AWFUL establishment. My son took my here on my break. i was expecting to get my groceries but instead i got sick. i tried the carrots if you can even call them carrots and i spit them on the floor. it was so bad. i wanted to yee haw out of here. brenda is a terrible worker by the way... - bond rancher read more

Great choices on products. Prices are good. Place is always stocked and clean. Cashier was friendly.

While they don't have as large of a selection as hmart, they have all the essentials and more all at lower prices compared to hmart. Parts of their produce are fresher than that of hmart's ie. young radish 열무, young Napa cabbage. I actually like it more because it's not as much of a large maze and crowded as hmart. Past reviewers mentioned a fish smell which they've done a really good job of getting rid of because today there was no smell! If you are a dessert person they have all the desserts available that are usually sold out at hmart like ALL the flavors of mochi ice cream, boba ice cream and taiyaki ice cream. read more

I came to this store today for the ump-tenth time. I come here when in the area to get my Asian goods when I am unable to make it to H-Mart. I make a lot of Asian food at home, much of which I learned how to make when living in Singapore and Japan. Many of the recipes that I make call for ingredients that I can not find at a local grocers. I appreciate the spices this location affords but am not a fan of the fish selection as most of the items available in the wet market section of this grocery are frozen and not fresh. read more

Medium sized convenient Asian grocery with a variety of Asian staples like kimchi, sriracha, etc. I would say it's better for shelf stable goods than their fruits/veggies in terms of quality and pricing. You can also find fun but harder to find things like pandan flavoring and pure tamarind paste! In case you were hunting for the Huy Fong sriracha they had a few bottles, but they were marked up to $17. There's also a couple of restaurants in a small food court you can access inside: mochi nut, Hana yoree, ramen del barrio. Logistics: Large shared parking lot so no parallel parking needed. There's also a boba place in the same strip if you need your fix! read more

I Love Natto! Hana Mkt has many Natto Brands. All are the cheapest I have seen anywhere. I pay about $2.50 for a 3 pack, and I buy 10 at a time. So I get 1 months worth. They also give you money back when you spend to one of their limits. It's just a couple blocks south of I-35 on Parmer rd. I no longer have to Drive to a Leander H Mart! DM read more

They say "any port in a storm," and for me, Hana World is that port. If I'm in the middle of a recipe and realize I've run out of a speciality ingredient, Hana World is my closest and best choice for getting it. However, it's not a place I particularly enjoy going. It gives off an air of neglect from the moment you walk in, and that feeling gets worse the further into the store you go. All the floors and fixtures seem to have a patina of grime over them. The folks who stock the shelves are friendly, but they always seem a bit beaten down. And the produce section is often a treasure hunt, the treasure being "anything that isn't moldy or a day or two shy of growing it." I agree with another reviewer that Hana World is good for shelf stable goods. I've also had success with their made-in-store Korean proteins and sides. Anything else? Good luck. read more

I stopped going here because of the rudeness of the cashiers, I don't feel like dealing with it anymore

Food Court at Hana World Market. Now includes 4 different food bars including a fancy doughnut joint, but we still go for the excellent Korean food. Bus your own table if you buy Korean, otherwise you're allowed to be a slob. You paid for it. Those doughnuts ain't cheap. This place gets hella busy around lunchtime especially on weekends. Kinda noisy. Don't dress up. read more

Hana World Market - Up-to-date Korean food court menu. Dec 23 - Food Court Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is our go to for groceries since it's in our hood and so convenient. It's high time I review too. Sorry it has taken me so long. It's nicely convenient and location is perfect for us because we live near. It's rather large and has everything we need pretty much. More korean goods than Chinese. If I need Chinese groceries I go to 99 Ranch. But Hana world still has some essentials. Their sliced meat is actually pretty good and fresh. Priced better than newer and cleaner Hmart. I have never bought seafood here and sometimes this place doesn't smell clean either that or overly clean with cleaners but I know they try their best. Their kimchee is one of the best in town. Their veggies are pretty good. Not priced as cheap as 99 Ranch but it suffices. Their frozen goods are ample sometimes not so fresh because it's been in there but it has everything I need. But lately it has been ok. The owners especially the father is the nicest guy in the world. They are kind and helpful. I like their cash back program. Have gotten many $5 back and quickly. Much quicker than Hmart. They have a small cafeteria area with 3 restaurants now. The korean one has been there since they opened. They have yummy affordable food. We love taking out from there now for our inlaws. Can still get a big bowl of noodles for under $10. Their kimbap and freshly made to go food inside the grocery is something we like a lot especially the kimbap. Always fresh and cheap. Yummy and perfect for picnics too. Heard their new restaurant is really good too in the cafeteria area. Wanna go try. Thanks for being our local asian grocers. Keep up the good work! read more

I like shopping at this place but they sold me unsealed, rotten H Mart brand kimchi. I bought the largest jar so I wasted about $20. Get your kimchi somewhere else as this has to be some sort of health violation. read more

This is a cool place to visit if you like diversity in food. My family loves Asian food so my sister and I took our niece and nephew there for a field trip. We let them choose different goodies to try. There is SO MUCH to choose! We walked every aisle and looked at everything and chose delicacies to put in our basket. There is a punch card you can sign up for too. The people there were nice and there is also a little restaurant on site. We will try that another time. read more

I still recommend Hana's Market to people, but with a heavy heart I have to agree that it's seen better days in the past. The seafood/butchery section is lacking, and the produce is hit-and-miss when it comes to freshness. However, I have to give kudos where they are due. Their 'dry goods' section is excellent, and has brands of rice that I can't find anywhere else. They have a good selection of kitchen implements/tea sets. And most importantly for me, they carry some of the best avocados I've seen in Austin. These are giants that have some of the best, most consistent avocado flesh I've seen. Worth coming just for that! Just keep your expectations in check for the rest of the store, and plan to visit Hmart or MT for most of your other needs. read more

For the size of this market (on the smaller side compared to places like Hmart or Lotte), I think they actually carry a lot of the Asian essentials. I was able to find all the Asian specific market ingredients here easily. There's also lots of parking which is nice and staff was friendly. I just maybe would go to a bigger Asian supermarket if you're looking for something not as common! read more

Be careful of buying frozen food. It's overdue and you try to tell them and they ignore and no refund or exchange.

Not as large and fancy as HMart; but closer to my home. They had everything I needed. They also have a rewards program, so make sure to get an application BEFORE you checkout. Bring your own bags as well or you'll be leaving with a box like I did lol. They also have cooked food to order/grab that's been sitting‍ and a selection of houseware. Not many people working and when you ask for help you get weird looks and shoulder shrugs. But it's cool, if you have google and Pinterest on your phone read more

The place is OK. A place to pick up some asian groceries. In their togo section try the Jabchae...their recipe is good.

Nice place to pick up your Asian supplies. Best place to buy rice in bulk. MT Supermarket on Lamar and H Mart do not have a good selection of rice in bulk. The only downside is that no one knows where anything is located. So, if you want something, you better know where it is or spend considerable time browsing the shelves. read more

This place is so underrated. Great location and so convenient. They have everything I need and so much more! - Food court as you walk in. Yoree has the best and most authentic Korean food. And their prices are super reasonable. Whenever I miss my mom's cooking, I go here and pick up a few dishes. I can't stress just how good it is. - Things! BBQ grill, butane, chopsticks, stools, slippers, it's a Asian mini mart. - Fresh cooked banchan. A good selection - Seafood has a good variety. And thank you for pulling through on having crawfish!!! - Meat section is okay.....But still dependable when I need something - Produce - has a good selection of items. They always have fresh perilla leaves! read more

This review is about the grocery store and not the food court. We like coming here to pick up the staples we need to cook some Korean food or any Asian food. Recently, I came to get Hondashi which is a soup stock used in Japanese cooking. They have a selection of banchan (side dishes). I noticed they have some that was made in house and packaged side dishes from a factory. They seem to have what we need in here. I like to get some oats and grains for japgok bap or multi grain rice. I am not sure how the prices compare to MT Supermarket. I usually come here since this location is closer. We always get awesome service here. Full disclosure, you don't see many workers in the aisles so come to the register area to get some help. I'm the weirdo that walks around all the aisles until I find what I need. Yea ...I know not very time efficient, but it's cool to see the variety of items in here. It's also nice when the manager always recognizes us when we are checking out. Thank you Hana World Market. read more

We love this place. In the summer we can get Maryland blue crabs live. We bout about 30 pounds and enjoyed them for days. They freeze well so save some for later. Next time i will take the family so everyone can have a look around read more

As a black male, I feel that I was totally stereotyped and profiled while patronizing this establishment. After paying for my goods, I stepped to the front of an empty cashier station. I was putting my goods into my backpack when some older asshole manager came and stood next to me. He said something in his native dialect then, in English, he asked the cashier if she had checked me out. She nodded yes and that asshole didn't say shit to me . . . . I'm sorry, excuse me, kiss my ass . . . nothing. What if that asshole had called the cops on me, a paying customer? What if the cops would have immediately stereotyped, profiled me and summarily acted in a condemnatory manner based on those assumptions? Fuck this store, I will NEVER shop here again . . . . . . EVEEERRRRRRRRR!!!! read more

This market reminds me of home in a way, must be the smell. It is definitely smaller than most of the other asian markets in the area but it does have a bit of dry foods/snacks that no other asian markets have. The small restaurants looks very appealing but I have not tried so this review is on the market alone and not at the eatery. Smaller selection on meats and seafood, I didn't see anything special in that segment. I love seeing the banchan being prepared by the aunties and they look so good but a bit more expensive. Vegetables I was quite disappointed, they were all wilted and sad looking. The fruits seems ripe and rather large which is a plus! I will come back to try the food and buy some banchan next time, hopefully the next visit will be better than my first! Side note, they do have a reward system but it is a piece of paper that needs to be filled out which the cashier has. 3 stars for now~ read more

I went to pick up live blue crabs. They had quite a few of them. The market is nice. It has everything and more of what you would expect from an Asian market. The seafood seemed so fresh. The blue crab were absolutely delicious when I got them Home and cooked them. They also had frog legs, I haven't seen those in a while. So you can definitely find some exotic meats here. I will definitely be back in the future to shop. read more

I came here because I was in search of Kaffir lime leaves. I was at another local Asian market who had everything I needed for my Thai cooking except this key ingredient. Luckily Hana World Market had two packages left of the Kaffir lime leaves in the frigerated section. I was happy that my husband had asked about the leaves since it was not located in the fresh fruits and veggies section. Now I have all my ingridents to make some good old homecooked Thai food. Cheers to 2019! read more

Okay. I know it's a market but honestly their food court is a pretty sweet place for Korean food. I've been going here for years with my family to dine in and order take out. We LOVE IT. The portions are bigger than most other Korean restaurants at a relatively low price. You get tons of side dishes to come with which is a big win for Kimchi lovers. My favorites would definitely be their Spicy Beef Soup, Gamjatang, and their Galbi. They mainly take cash, if you pay by card you would have to go inside the market check out then come back to show them your payment. Slight inconvenience but nothing too big. Aside from that, also be sure to listen for your order number. Sometimes the cashiers look really scary and start calling out your numbers louder if you're distracted (guilty ). And if you order any of the soups togo, be sure to check the plastic containers for any leakage as it might be too hot. Market is pretty good. They have a good snacks and preserved food section. Their fresh produce aisle is alright, condition varies. Seafood is alright too, mainly come to buy cheap live crawfish. read more

Once H Mart has opened up, this place really doesn't compete in my opinion. But it is closer to my house, this is a much smaller store but they have a good variety of items. They aren't the cleanest store but it's not a deal breaker for me. I am not sure if I would buy any of their fresh seafood or meat, but I do like their selection of ramen and rice as well as their frozen foods section. I am addicted to korean rice cakes. They have a good selection of snacks and sauces. They have some food court type of restaurants here but I haven't tried them in awhile...the last place I went to is no longer there so I am not sure if the new places are good or not. read more
