H Mart Balboa offers a wide variety of tasty and delicious food, including Korean side dishes like kimchi radish and beef soup with Korean potato noodles. The store features unique artwork and an extensive selection of goods, such as real jackfruit and hard-to-find golden strawberries, making it a standout location. The atmosphere is clean and inviting, and the meat and fruit selections are of high quality. The food court remains popular, offering authentic Korean dishes like rice, bulgogi bowl, and spicy seafood noodles—everything is very affordable, and the large bowl of ramen or noodles can serve 2 or 3 people.
The store is easy to navigate with friendly staff, though parking can be tricky due to street traffic. Shoppers enjoy better produce deals and everyday prices compared to other Asian markets, with a clean store free of cheap "filler" products. Weekly sales provide huge savings on high-quality produce, meats, live seafood, and Asian spices—no membership needed. The huge selection includes premarinated foods, sushi, kimbab, baked potatoes, banchan, rice, and an entire aisle of ramen. Located next to 24 Hour Fitness, it’s a go-to spot for protein and carb-loading after workouts. Customer service is excellent for exchanges, and the food court is a popular spot, though the music can be loud for those sensitive to noise. Customers appreciate the large produce section, fresh items, and the bakery with an awesome selection. Overall, it is considered the best Asian supermarket in the U.S., known for its service and authentic offerings.
