The restaurant has simple seating, buffet style views of some of their food items and features grocery items. It's nice to have a spot to grab different items to try while also sitting down for a little meal. In restaurant I tried the bbq chicken skewers with garlic fried rice. For my to go order I grabbed pancit and lumpia since those are my husband's favorite. We all enjoyed the flavor profile in each of these items and cannot wait to come back to work our way through more of the menu.

I had a pickup order and it was ready on the time I said I would come get it. They've been…read moreconsistent in the past and we always get their pork barbecue and lumpia shanghai, among others. This time, the pork barbecue looked a little dry. Missing some of the "taba" (fat) at the end which would have been nice. Taste is still ok and just dipped in vinegar so it's not too dry. The grilled fish we got was a little on the burnt side which made it difficult to eat on account of the bitter taste and it was in a place where it was difficult to separate the burnt part from the meat. Also, my one beef is that there was an added credit card surcharge of 3% which I was not informed of ahead of time. This is big as my bill before taxes was already over $135! If I knew beforehand, I would have prepared to bring cash because that surcharge was big and this was not even verbally offered at the time of payment. I have been a loyal customer for many years now but we don't come as often as we don't leave near. It used to be bag fees, and I brought my own bag in for groceries, but this surcharge left a bad taste. if this is to be standard, please put up a sign at the counter or on your website. Otherwise, I like the variety of food and grocery items offered, but there has to be better communication with customers.

The only downside is the last 3 times we've gone out to get their food from the place posted online, they've cancelled last minute. Understandable that things happen, but 3 times in a row we've had to pivot to something else on the fly. Twice they didn't post that they cancelled, we found out in the comments because people were wondering. Overall, great food when you can find them!

Came here to get supplies for my chicken pho dinner…read more The atmosphere is chill with a faint whiff of a clash of scents that may be a turn off at first, but you get used to it. It does not in any way reflect negatively on the store in general. To be honest, they have some of the freshest produce and seafood in the area. The udon noodles I get for my pho are amazing. They have an endless selection of Asian food items and I enjoy perusing the aisles in search of my next big discovery! The staff are pleasant and service at the meat and seafood counter is good. The value for me is good and they have weekly sale items as well. All in all, a great market to pick up fresh produce, seafood, and udon noodles!

I went on a Saturday around 1 pm and it was PACKED!!!! Seating is limited so be prepared to grab takeout at peak hours! Upon walking in, I noticed how vibey it was! All of the staff greeted me and everyone was just really happy to be there. The restaurant was so cute and eclectic, but again, very packed! We were hungry lol. I told the staff member that it was my first time there and he gave me a few recommendations. After reviewing everything, I settled on the tempuras Broccoli and the Neighborhood Bird Bun. Service was very quick and they had us in and out of there. They even had stickers for us to grab! Food: Tempura Broccoli-first few bites were amazing. Then I got to the bottom of the box and the house made vinegar threw off the texture for me as they became soggy so I didn't get to finish them. Overall, they were solid but if you do not like vinegar and have texture issues, they're not for you. I'll give them a solid 3 out of 5. Bun: the bun definitely met my expectations. The chicken was huggggeeee and likely was a chicken thigh, which was a good touch. Ur was juicy and fried to perfection. The herbs provided a well balance and the bao bun was everything. I smashed!!! I would definitely go back and try a different bun. Overall 4.5 out of 5 stars!

Content removed This content may violate our usage policies…read more It sounds like you want to turn this into something you can post publicly or send as a formal complaint. I can help you make it clearer, more focused, and more effective so it's taken seriously. Here's a revised version that keeps your core message but presents it in a more structured and credible way: I had a deeply uncomfortable experience at H Mart last night while shopping with my family. We came in simply to purchase a popular fruit-shaped ice cream, but almost immediately we felt unwelcome due to repeated staring. What escalated the situation was the behavior of a middle-aged employee wearing a burgundy shirt, who appeared to follow us around the store. This made us feel singled out and unsafe. When I confronted the situation by turning my cart around and moving toward him, he abruptly walked away and avoided further interaction. As a person of color, this experience felt discriminatory and unacceptable. No customer should feel monitored or profiled while simply shopping with their family. Because of this incident, we will not be returning. I also intend to report this experience so it can be properly addressed. I hope management takes this seriously, reviews staff behavior, and ensures that all customers are treated with respect and dignity. If you want, I can also: Tailor this for Google Reviews, Yelp, or a corporate complaint form Make it stronger/more formal (for escalation) Or include specific details like location, time, or receipts to support your claim Let me know how you plan to use it. Tailor for Google reviews. Include Catonsville location Here's a version tailored specifically for a Google Review, with the H Mart Catonsville location included and a tone that's firm but more likely to be taken seriously by both customers and management: I had a very uncomfortable experience at H Mart in Catonsville last night while shopping with my family. We came in to pick up the popular fruit-shaped ice cream, but almost immediately we noticed people staring at us. What made the situation worse was a middle-aged employee wearing a burgundy shirt who appeared to follow us around the store. His behavior made us feel singled out and unwelcome. At one point, I turned my cart around and began moving toward him to address the situation, and he quickly walked away and avoided any interaction. That response only reinforced how uncomfortable and targeted we felt. As a person of color, this experience came across as discriminatory. No one should feel like they are being watched or profiled just for shopping with their family. Because of this, we will not be returning to this location. I hope management takes this seriously, reviews staff behavior, and ensures that all customers are treated with respect. If you want it to hit even harder (or sound more neutral/"corporate"), I can adjust the tone depending on whether your goal is impact, escalation, or just warning other customers. Hit harder. Warning other customers If your goal is to warn other customers and make the impact unmistakable, you can lean more direct and forceful--but it still helps to stay specific and grounded so people take it seriously rather than dismissing it as just anger. Here's a stronger Google Review version: I am a person of color, and my family and I had a disturbing experience at H Mart Catonsville. We came in just to buy the viral fruit-shaped ice cream, but almost immediately we were met with constant staring that made it clear we were not being treated like other customers. The situation escalated when a middle-aged employee in a burgundy shirt began following us around the store. Not assisting--watching us. It was obvious and uncomfortable. When I turned my cart around and approached him, he quickly walked away and hid in the men's restroom instead of addressing the situation. That alone tells you everything. We were made to feel singled out and unwelcome the entire time. As a family simply trying to shop, that is unacceptable. Be aware: if you are a person of color, you may not be treated with the same respect as others at this location. We will not be returning. Management seriously needs to address how customers are being treated in this store.

I'm so torn between 3 and 4 stars... it's really a 3.5 star experience if I'm being honest. But, I…read morecan round up in this case, and the pros do outweigh the cons in any event. First, the CONS: * It's cramped! Most of the aisles are very narrow, but even the open spaces (produce, seafood) are fairly small. May the odds be ever in your favor if you have to push a shopping cart around here. * Speaking of the seafood section, it is strongly aromatic. They say you shouldn't be able to smell good seafood. Well, I've never heard of anyone getting bad seafood here, but you wouldn't know from the odor. It's strong and not pleasant. * Some items are SUPER expensive. I think a lot of this boils down to import pricing, to be fair. Now, the PROS: * Many other items are super INEXPENSIVE! Sometimes, you can find produce and other pantry items for WAY less than you would at a local supermarket. * They have a lot of items you just can't find anywhere else. Even if you can find them online, you're paying a lot in shipping or finders' fees. * Their staff is fairly helpful and usually friendly. My main experience is usually with the cashiers, but even they tend to be really engaging and pleasant to chat with. * They have a very big selection for being a specialty market! For primarily carrying Korean products, they have a wide variety to choose from. You aren't at their whim for whatever they want to sell to you. I guess if you're okay with a slightly claustrophobic environment and a localized fishy smell, it's all shiny here. Overall, it's a great change of pace from standard grocery shopping, and I love cooking with the unique ingredients I can find here.
