Wow! Really paying high prices for convenience. Prices are 4 times higher than grocery stores. $10 for Oreo cookies??!! $3.99 for small yogurt??!! I have been shopping there since 1988. Not any more. Price gauging. I'll drive two extra blocks to the next local market that keeps its prices reasonable without price gauging. Sad. Miss the previous owners read more

Fully stocked (food and liquor wise) and nice staff. They are always friendly!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my favorite convenience store ever because of Lucy who works there. She is the sweetest person and makes the entire store worth coming to over and over. I go there sometimes just to say hi. Certain to come out smiling afterwards. Other than that great store too everyone else is also super nice and the store has a lot of things and great prices read more

this place is run illegally and doesn't post prices of items or mark their items with any prices which is illegal. they make up a price when you get to the counter. This is an illegal practice and I have reported them to the city of Los Angeles. When I told the owner they are nonchalant and like well, the price is always change, bro. Totally shady. The old Korean owners were great, but new ownership is terrible. read more

What can I say about Howe Mart except that they are wonderful local family business! I am always happy to support local businesses but this business is my first stop for almost everything that I need to get quickly. From a quick snack, drinks, to last minute purchases like office supplies and batteries, so far I would find everything here. Their shelves are always full and store is pretty organized considering how many different things you can purchase. On the top of everything, staff is so wonderful, polite and helpful, always with a smile on their face, and ready to help. What else can I ask for?! Thank you Howe Mart team. Highly recommending. read more

The have a nice variety of ice cream and a good selection of groceries. Lottery tickets are available and they open early so if your headed to the south bay beaches their your go to without going into a large market. read more

This place is amazing and the service is incredible! Thank you for always being available and welcoming!

Expired products and an oddly suspicious cashier. I would advise anyone who comes here to use Cash or closely monitor your card if you use it here. They don't accept AMEX cause of the fees but can't be bothered to put a privacy cover over the PIN pad to prevent Debit card theft. read more

For some foolish reason i came back here for milk after already getting spoiled milk here once. Wanted to give this place another chance since its so close to my house. But the cashier was so rude to the point it felt menacing. Im not trying to get assaulted for no reason for a pint of milk. Maybe he was having a difficult day but that's no way to treat a customer, especially in this super friendly neighborhood. Hopefully he gets whatever help he needs but I'm never stepping foot in this place again. read more

What is up with your card reader howe mart? I used a debit card here yesterday that I rarely use and received fraud warnings during the night. The only place I have used this card in the last 30 days was here so either your store clerk has a photographic memory or your card reader is compromised. I have been coming here for years and love you guys so this was very upsetting, please look into this problem. I will only use cash here from now on. read more

To preface this: I have NEVER gotten food poisoning before in my life. I have good constitution. Purchased a tuna sandwich, gave me food poisoning for 3 days in a row so far... looking like it's going to be 4... maybe more. Missed out on 30 hours of work. If you value your health don't eat here. Maybe refrigerators aren't the proper temperature. Don't buy food here... whatever it is. It's not fresh. I'm dangerously dehydrated from this food poisoning, I'm gonna have to see a doctor. Been here twice, 1st sandwich tasted funny. 2nd sandwich gave me dysentery. Currently ill. read more

While shopping here tonight I witnessed the cashier be extremely rude to a nice lady who was making a purchase at the counter for no reason. This was my first and last time visiting such a place. I don't normally write reviews but I felt like this one is very warranted read more

A little disappointed in my latest experience with the local market. Stopped by to purchase a 1/2 gallon of milk and a late night candy snack. Approached the counter with my form of payment, a credit card, that I have used multiple times at this same location and was advised there is a $10 minimum for a credit card transaction. I asked if this was a store policy and was this in writing...the cashier stated "Yes". I then requested to view the policy and the cashier could not locate the stated policy. The 1/2 gallon of milk was $6.79 If you want to utilize any form of payment you wish for any transaction, the Ralph's is located about 1 - 2 miles away in Westchester and pay about 1/2 the price. A little disappointed. read more

While visiting family recently in Playa del Rey, I had the need to refill the K cups for morning coffee. After getting to the store I wasn't sure I was going to find what I was looking for. In all honestly the store looked smaller than I was expecting, but. I did find the coffee and headed back to complete the morning breakfast. The staff was helpful and friendly. read more

Love this local market because they have delicious fresh salsa, Manhattan Beach Creamery Ice cream sandwiches and lots of scratcher tickets. We purchase scratchers for coworkers around the holidays and they are a quick go to place. I think it's a $5 limit for credit card but can always use debit. read more

Understand this is a convenient neighborhood small mart, but 1 apple is $2.50! That is just unacceptable and the man at the counter's attitude is bit arrogant." read more

I visit this liquor store/mini-mart maybe twice a week. They have a solid selection of wine and imported beer. Plenty of snacks and candy to satisfy the pickiest junk food junky. I'm not one to eat too many pre packaged sandwiches but they have a cool selection of gourmet sandwiches; they are fresh from a local deli with unique dressings and herbs. You would think you were in hood because directly across the street is another competing liquor store. However Howe Mart has a better selection of beers and they are on the West side of the street. Meaning, parking is always in the shade ; ) * Great place to pick-up firewood and hooch on your way to a romantic evening at Dockweiler Beach. * Conveniently located between Lax and Marina Del Rey without dealing with Sepulveda or 405 traffic. * Great place to nourish you after appreciating the Ballona Wetlands Marsh down the road. * You may be lucky to see the ambassador of yelp barry w. himself jogging by. read more

Oh Howe mart...How-ie Mart...How(e)ver you want to say it. This place is down the street from where I grew up, so the asian guy that runs it saw me get my license, buy my first lotto and my first beer... :::: big awwwwww:::::: I agree with Brendon, It's so much better than the place across the street. read more

Good convenient store. They have good wine sales and recommendations. $5 minimum for cards. The markup is pretty standard for convenient items. Hidden gem: they are the only place I've been to that consistently sells Cinnabon Ben & Jerrys. It's like $6 but worth every penny plus some! read more

We love our local market, it has a little bit of everything, and a nice selection of things you wouldn't expect, like a jar of pickled ginger a la sushi, and the wasabi to go with it. The other night I needed a last minute dinner for 2 adults and 4 kids, and I couldn't bare ordering pizza. However, I was out of pasta and all other easy-to-throw-together items, so, I decide screw it, I'll run around the corner and grab some and I don't care what I pay, just need to put something together quick. Well I put together a dinner for six that included a huge amount of pasta, the stuff for a homemade cream sauce, some veggies, and some sausage for $16. That's cheaper than ordering pizza! I've always mentally blocked comparing to Ralphs or Traders because I just didn't want to know how much more I was paying for the convenience, however, when you look at this way, the prices are great. Love it! The wine and liquor selection is also great. And, every time I go in there I love the song that playing, usually some great classic rock. read more

The nicest and helpful neighborhood seller! Small shop like a 7-eleven with a nice service . What's not to love ! A true neighborhood store ! read more

The best little mini-mart in Playa. They have quite a wide selection of beers (lots of European imports, for example) and wines. And of course all the other usual 'corner-store' stuff. They also sell firewood, which is super-convenient when you're heading down to Dockweiler to have a fun beach-fire with friends. The place is clean and free of clutter and trash one so often finds at little places like these. Their produce is quite good, especially for a little mini-mart. I stopped in once to buy a lemon and it was amazing ! (yeah - fanfare for a lemon......but it was much better than what the big supermarkets sell...) Most locals know the owners and vice versa; that 'community-feeling'. They stay open till midnight on most evenings, I think. read more

This place has the best ice cream sandwiches I've ever had. If anyone is reading this and knows the brand you must comment and tell me because I miss this little corner store so much solely for those ice cream sandwiches read more

When I lived in Playa this was my saving grace on many occasions. The guys who run it are awesome. They have all sorts of food/drinks/random stuff you may need. Their alcohol selection is perfect, I've always found what I need here. They get daily delivery for milk/dairy and I've found milk from here was often more fresh than from the local major grocery stores. If you live nearby, this place can be a life saver. Check it out. read more

One of the best neighborhood stores in Playa Del Rey. Always stocked with any of your last minute needs. Such friendly staff. Good to know customer service is still number 1 read more

This place is dope. They pack a huge variety of snacks and produce(seasonal fruit) in a tiny store. The produce is fresher and more reasonably priced that actual grocery stores. read more

Such rude staff here. I had a bunch of things to purchase and there was a giant line and I finally get up there and I only had a cc and he's like oh gosh no you need to leave we only take cash and like pushed me out. He was so rude. Everyone that was there was so shocked and I left in tears. Such a rude rude man... Like we aren't in the 1980's anymore you should have a credit card machine like every store. Will never go here again... Horrible place and EXTREMELY over priced.. read more

The cashier /owner discriminated against me because i look young, for purchasing a tall can of beer and threatened me saying "you better not be buying this beer for somebody else it is illegal the police will come after you" First of all lady, you should be happy i'm in here buying your expensive a*** $4 can of beer. Second of all, you don't know me so don't assume i'm buying this for someone else? Just because i look young i can't buy a beer when i'm LEGALLY OF AGE???? Seriously this lady needs to chill. Over it. 1 star customer service. read more

Will never come here again. on recent trip from SF Valley used a debit card (which i never use) there to make a purchase, the next day multiple fraudulent purchases made in Torrance Best Buy, and other stores. Would not recommend doing business there, and if have to CASH ONLY!!!! read more

Yes, this place has been a lifesaver a couple of times. Its location is just so convenient. HOWEver, (pun intended) their fruit selection is disgusting, they only have jumbo size eggs, and their credit/debit card rules are STUPID. Why isn't it illegal to charge someone if they haven't spent $10 - especially if I'm in there every week! It's ridiculous. read more

Howe's satisfies my junk food cravings by being conveniently located across the street. Prices are reasonable and I love the family.

Friendly owners and a good selection of protein bars -including quest bars! Decent prices and so close to my place. Easily my favorite stop and go. read more

Love this market, it's my go to and the people are great! Huge selection and prices are awesome.

Howe Mart has a good variety of products at reasonable prices. You will most likely find what you need at this store. They're also open till 11pm, I think, for those late night cravings. The variety of snacks they have range from chips, jerky, salsas to healthy stuff like puddings, guacamole dips and vege dips. They now carry Comfy House Foods gourmet products, which you can also find in several grocery stores and health food shops. At Howe Mart, they have 4 different flavors of hummus, fire-roasted salsas, roasted vegetable dip (like bruschetta), multi-layered dip (gotta check this one out - perfect for Super Bowl parties) and guacamole dips. They also have these unique Vegan Rice Puddings that are, not only delicious, but nutritious. For your sweet tooth, the decadent panna cottas (Italian custard flan) are worth a try. Check it out! You will find these where the sandwiches are. read more

standard action: roll into town on the moto, run into Howe's and grab a soda, pound it down in the parking lot.... this little mart has pretty much everything you could ask for... it is more like a small market than a liquor store... of course they also have the beer, sodas and snacks that you may want... their wine selection is really quite good... several different kinds of Chianti... YUM!!! i also really like that they carry lots of kinds of ice cream!!! read more

We live a block from the store and when we moved in were thrilled to have the store nearby. The service by this Asian couple could not be more different. The husband is so friendly but the wife could not be more ugly to customers. It's a shame that they treat people this way. I guess that get more transients then locals? read more

How the reviews here are less than 5 stars beats me. This place has everything except hard liquor. It's an amazing one-stop shop. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than Target, but the convince factor and mom n pop feel makes it worth it. read more

Love this store. The staff is always friendly particularly on Sunday mornings. Creamer, the paper and an emergency can of pet food -- and all in slippers, brilliant. read more

Up until yesterday, I went into the Howe Mart almost daily as I live up the street. I always paid in cash as this is what they prefer. Yesterday I was buying $8 worth of goods, and I only had a credit card. They said they would not accept as I must spend $15 dollars. I honestly spend about $50 a week here over the past three years I've lived in PDR, so I asked since they know I come in daily could they run my card just this once or even charge me a 10% fee (which is much more than a credit card company charges). Plus, I have seen them run other people's cards for much less. I am sad that I will no longer be a patron of the Howe Mart, but they obviously don't value their regular neighborhood customers. read more
