    Small family ran restaurant. Please remember when visiting this store, it is small and looks as…read morethough a new standup. The shelves are not full by far, the products are not a huge variety, and the products are not all high-end quality. They have a seafood deli (Kim Chee bar) and this is probably their most impressive section of their store. Everyone here is very nice, but again, new small store. I think with enough support, this place could be great. Provide input to the management for suggestions of products they should consider carrying. If you cannot find anything you want here, H-Mart and Paldo World in only five minutes up the street. Give these guys a shot and support our local community!

    A first timer to this Korean Supermarket!! Found it online, on TikTok, of all places. Saw the…read moreadvertisement and reviews, so wanted to check it out. The store and parking lot are small. But inviting. Their specialties are the Korean Banchan (Sidedishes). All Homemade, with a variety of choices. Got there around 11:00 AM on Saturday, 5/03/25. There was nobody inside the store, so maneuvering the cart around the aisles was easy as well as browsing around. Definitely bought some Korean Kimbap, Sidedishes and Spicy Jerky. Prices were a bit on the higher side than other Asian grocery stores, though. The elderly couple who runs the store were very amicable and polite. We received excellent customer service. Talked to him a little bit in Korean as well.

Love the fact that it's open 24 hours but their prices are absolutely insane unless it's on sale. They're at least 40% more than Safeway & Whole Foods and of course 60 to 70% more than Costco for the exact same item! So sadly, unless they have something on sale that I want I won't be back.

" " They are 90 dollars each, but if you buy one it's get two free." " Yeah I just don't think we have the room for three." "Oh! Well if you just want one pot, it's 30 dollars... If you want the buy one get two it's 90..." "So you're not actually getting two free, three pots at 30 dollars is 90... You're charging the same price..." "No it's buy one get two free." " It is t tho, if I say I am buying an individual pot and I buy 3...it's 30 each.... That's 90 dollars...But if I say to you I want the buy one get two deal... That same pot now becomes 90 dollars.." "Right! And you get two free! It's just weird how they do it" "No but that isn't.... NVM. I am good thanks." Aaaaasnd end scene. Does anyone else see the problem here. Will definitely not be back.

    Yes, they have Mahi Mahi, BUT THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO WRAP SEAFOOD. Wasted $44 today, threw out everything.

    It was my very first time ever visiting an H Mart, and wow--what an experience! This place is truly…read morean Asian food heaven. I felt like a kid in a toy store, completely amazed as I explored every aisle. Everything is thoughtfully organized and visually appealing, with products neatly arranged and prices clearly displayed, making it easy (and honestly way too fun) to shop. The variety here is incredible--I wasn't even planning to buy groceries, but somehow walked out spending $130 without a second thought! The selection is what really blew me away. From snacks and drinks to a wide range of meats and fresh, prepared foods, there's something for everyone. I was especially excited to find pork jowl (which I've struggled to find in stores even before moving to Washington), along with sashimi-grade fish and even live seafood. It truly felt like a food lover's wonderland. I managed to resist the bakery and beauty section near checkout this time--but only barely because my hands were full. I'll definitely be back for those on my next visit! H Mart is located in a plaza with several other Asian businesses, which made the whole experience feel even more authentic. Parking is plentiful, though it can get pretty packed and busy, so just be mindful of cars constantly coming and going. I only interacted briefly with the cashier, but she was kind and welcoming, and I really appreciated how neatly she packed my groceries. I don't live in Lakewood, but this trip was 100% worth it--and I will absolutely be coming back!
