Susanna D.

A great gem inside H-mart's food court. I will definitely be planning my H-mart shopping trips around lunch time so I start making my way through HomeTown's menu. We got the ramen + kimbap and the spicy soft tofu stew with rice bowl. Both were splendid and very flavorful. Great prices and good sized portions.

Omurice
Philip P.

Located in the food court at H-Mart Lynnwood. There are plenty of seats and tables since it's a food court. There isn't really much lighting, but you can see just fine regardless. This place has a variety of entrees that the other stands do not. I like getting their Omurice from time to time like today, but they also have cold noodles and kimchi fried rice. Would I recommend this place over some of the other stands? Depends on what you want honestly. The other places do have a lot of the same Items, but if you want to conveniently get everything at the same stand, this isn't a bad choice for tofu soup or bibimbap either. You don't get as many side dishes as the tofu soup stand by the side entrance, but it's still decent. Tea or water is available at the stand as well if you need a beverage. Other option is to use one of the vending machines or get a drink at H-mart. Service here is fairly quick. You order, pay, and wait for your number to get called. There's no hassle really. You do have to bud yourself afterwards. Some people don't, but it's common courtesy to so and I feel like it's expected with any food court. There're usually bins by the stand to just dump your dishes and utensils in. I usually have no complaints here. This place is satisfactory in my book.

When I go grocery shopping at Hmart, I always make sure to grab a bite to eat! This time, I tried the Doe-katsu for $16.99 and the Kimbap for $10.99 at HomeTown Korean Food. Both dishes were delicious and crispy, leaving my tummy very satisfied! Plus, I appreciate that they offer complimentary warm tea and water, which I always enjoy.

Ate this all by myself and I don't regret it one bit.

I love coming here especially after my power yoga session. The soup I get is the one and only spicy beef soup bowl. It never changes. It's so comforting, hearty and full of beefy flavor. It has green onions, bean sprouts, poached egg, glass noodles. The broth is spicy that my head sweats too. (Oh, I went far ha) lol This soup help me to detox and puts me in a good mood. This bowl of soup comes with a bowl of white rice, kimchee and pickled radish. So good you guys. It keeps me full for a long time - at least 5 to 6 hrs. I recommend it to everyone and I'm very confident you will love it as well.

Ramen

Ramen is instant noodles. Do not get that. So bad. Didn't expect that from asian food court.

Kimchee Fried Rice with an over easy egg on top
Cheol K.

Located in the H Mart food court, this restaurant is a fantastic place to get some good homemade Korean food. I ended up getting kimchee fried rice and the cheese tteokboki. The fried rice was amazing. I took the egg and mixed it into the rice. This is true comfort food for me. As an appetizer, the tteokboki was perfectly cooked in its sauce. In all my years, I've never had it with cheese on top. It was coated with a gooey and delicious mozzarella cheese on top. This took it to a new level! How have I never had my tteokboki like this before? Need to come back and try some of the other dishes like the tofu soup!

Nothing like Korean comfort food after a day filled with adventure. Located in Lynwood's H-Mart's food court, this spot serves up Korean favorites. My family and I ordered: *rabokki (tteokbokki with ramen, $15.99): appropriately priced for the portion. This was spicy, as expected, and quite delicious. *naengmyeon (buckwheat noodle in cold broth, $13.99): really refreshing on a cold day. I reallllllly should've gotten this instead of the rabokki, because I was lowkey dying LOL *kalguksu noodle soup ($13.99): noodle soup with an anchovy-kelp broth. So comforting; I think I'll have to whip this up for myself! This place hit the spot; wouldn't hesitate to come back if I'm in the area again!

This place is located inside the H-mart shopping complex. They offer various Korean noodle dishes. I tried the #7 Kalguksu noodle soup, which is a garlic-based light noodle soup with potatoes and sliced carrots. There were also two paltry butter clams (so that the word "seafood" can be used to describe the entree). The soup was overly salty with a very strong garlic flavor. The minced garlic was also not cooked thoroughly, so it tasted a bit raw and pungent. The food came out about 10 minutes after ordering.

Kimbap, Tteobokki, Kimchi Fried Rice (Kimchi and Kimchi radish above)
Maryam A.

Decided to visit this place before shopping at H-Mart and realised that many of the items we wanted to try had pork in it. They quickly let us know that they could substitute the pork with egg and so we ordered the kimbap, kimchi fried rice and tteobokki. They also offer complimentary barley tea - yum! The kimbap was fresh, but like the other items, it didn't really deliver on flavour. (Food rating is 3, service brings it up to 4)

My to go place in H Mart when I'm craving Korean food. They're fast and the food is good. I love their gimbap especially.

Thicc Kimbap
Sara V.

Hometown is one of the restaurants in this food court that's really stood the test of time. They're pretty quick, the servings are fresh and generous. I used to come with friends in Highschool and share their kimbap combo, I think it was a roll and a bowl of spicy instant ramen haha. Looks like now it's offered as two rolls. Even with this update, the rolls lasted me two meals. If you haven't tried yet, kimbap features delicious pickled veggies (iconic yellow daikon radish and quick pickled carrot slivers) and cooked spinach, and long sticks of mild sausage and egg omelette rolled in rice, seaweed and sesame oil. These keep/travel well as everything is cooked and cooled. (Caretakers who havent tried this dish - the long chewy nature of the seaweed and spinach might be tricky for little kids or the elderly to eat, make sure they're chewing well.) I got these to go, but eating at the food court is nice too especially with friends or fam- they have a station for complimentary tea and water as well. Check out Hometown for quick, generous eats at the H Mart Foodcourt.

Tofu stew
Chelsea P.

Large portions! The tofu stew was very good, however it does have clams and shrimp in it so don't be surprised like me. Even with the clams and shrimp it wasn't too "seafoodie". The fried rice was very tasty and the side salad was a nice complement. Their kimchi and daikon sides were good too. I ate the kimchi with the tofu stew to give it a little more taste. The girl who took my order was very nice. Meals come with complementary tea. I would recommend to anyone shooing at H-Mart or in the area! Plenty of seating and the area was clean.

Korean lunch for 2!
Pauline L.

Big portions for the price. Fresh vegetables. But seems like most dishes don't include much protein except egg. I got the jjal-myeon which was a guant bowl of noodles, julienned vegetables, and just half a hard boiled egg in gochujang sauce. It was just a big bowl of carbs and shoyld have been offered with beef, tofu or chicken ro round out the meal. The ramen and kimbap was instant ramen with some egg mixed egg (not a ramen egg). The kimbap looked fresh but fell apart whenever we would yry to pick one up. After eating all the carbs my stomach and sense of satisfaction were both unhappy. Not ever going to return

excellent

Good place to get some jap chae and chicken katsu. Flavorful and good ratio of meat to carbs. I recommend the jap chae!

Love this place! Coming to eat here feels like everything is cooked with care and love. Like a home…read moremade dinner. Portions are huge. A family style type of vibe, you will be able to share with whoever you go with. Barley tea on tap and homemade kimchee with a meal you get. The kimchee is bomb. The food is bomb. The Jajangmyeon is delicious. The sweet and sour pork is phenomenal (sauce isn't too sweet nor tangy) the batter on it is crunchy and flavorful. Mobu tofu is yummy too. We've never had Mobu tofu with big pieces of tofu and no meat and it honestly made me prefer it more. 10/10. She treated our kids with such kindness and that'll always make me come back. My son doesn't prefer sauce on his sweet and sour pork & she made extra for him to enjoy. She didn't have to but she did. It's a cute hole in the wall type of place. The service to the food is 10/10. Definitely recommend!!

Please support locally owned small businesses like this one! The food here is Korean Chinese…read morecomfort food. It won't blow you away, but is extremely great value and the portions are huge! The lady that runs this place is warm and inviting and tries to ensure each customer is happy and satisfied when they leave. Definitely order the Black Bean Noodles! Sweet & Sour chicken was nice and crispy, as was the gyoza. The honey walnut shrimp was tasty, but had too much sauce for my liking. Can't beat the price, and overall great value. The restaurant is no frills, but clean and worth a try of you're in the area!

Get the jjusami! So good! We were two and unable to finish this dish- in fact I had leftover that's…read moremore than enough for one extra meal. We came hungry so it's easily another meal for two. I love that the sauce had the right amount of salt and sugar and not overly sweet. My experience with Korean food had always been on the sweeter side so this dish was perfect for someone who doesn't prefer overly sweet food. The amount of meat and octopus were also super generous. We came on a Friday evening around 6:30 and the wait was quick. I saw that most tables had more than 4 people and it makes sense as the sharing portion was huge. Service was also really good. You order the food on the iPad. Will come back !

Oh man, top notch customer service. The staff were obviously trained extremely well with a customer…read moreforward culture. They all were super efficient but very warm. (Which I'm sorry to say is rare in Korean restaurants!). Now onto the food! They have the best kimchi soondooboo soup! The kalbi and pork belly were excellent. The side dishes were high quality and instantly filled. Our seafood pancake was so yummy and not too doughy like some other places. My mother in law has two things she always wishes for and Korean restaurants never have this - 1) hot tea without having to ask for it and 2) purple rice!! She got both here!! If there is one minor thing we have as a suggestion. The pork belly was a bit thick. I could see why as you don't want too thin of a slice. I wish there was a bit of extra char on it but that's personal preference. Pro tip: go right at opening! The places fills up very quickly. Because they are so efficient, we actually got in and out in one hour. We'll be back!!!! Management if you're reading this, kudos to your stellar staff!
