The "chicken yakisoba" was dry chicken tossed with instant ramen. I have no words.

We have ordered from this restaurant twice. The broth in the Niku Udon is incredible; it is almost unreal how beefy the flavor is. Highly recommend; we haven't tried much else from this restaurant so it's hard to give a full review. We did get the gyoza this time and found them okay; I probably wouldn't get those again, but I'll definitely go back for the Udon.

The H-Mart food court really is fire. I recently tried Don Don and it did not disappoint. I love a good udon soup and their's was awesome. It was a chilly day and it was the perfect comfort food. The noodles were perfectly chewy and the broth was very flavorful. I ordered from a few different stalls and not surprisingly Don Don was the fasted one getting the soup out. I thought the price for the soup was very reasonable (under $10) and also appreciated that their soda was only $1.50 per can. I look forward to heading in again!

This is one of the concessions inside H-Mart serving Japanese food. We stopped by to grab hopefully a light meal like a soup noodle, which seems to always mean Udon noodle at a Japanese eatery. Considering Ramen appears to be a very popular food, ramen noodle appears to be served only in eateries that served only ramen, at least here in US. Anyway, that left us with two main food categories in the menu at this place, grilled mean with rice or Udon noodle, the lighter choice for us.Now comes the following on my wish list (or gripe for lack of):1. Why do udon noodles always feel severely like a noodle soup rather than a soup noodle, regardless of whether I get it at a full Japanese restaurant or a street food style place like this?! There are enough times when I ordered this because of a sumptuous picture of the bowl of Udon noodle and end up very hungry at the end and yet have to decline a second order because my fellow diner were smart enough to order something like grilled meat with rice, were satiated, and ready to leave.2. While the picture displayed for my choice (beef ramen) had fresh green vegetable leaves floating on top of the soup, that was its extend of it, two to three thin pieces of vegetable. In a past visit, we got a balanced meal by ordering a plate of boiled soybean and a meat-&-rice plate to share. Unfortunately, sharing a meal and a large order of soybeans at a food-court turned out to be a messy experience.In general, the price charged at these eateries are comparable to full-service restaurants, so it's not dining on the cheap; just convenient if you're already shopping there.3. The beef slices were overcooked and chewy without any flavor beside what came from the soup, which was the only thing that was the only that came in generous amount, is delicious enough, but alas not filling!It was unfortunate that a Thai food concession that was here closed and was replaced by a Taiwanese eatery that doesn't serve noodles; and neither do the two Korean food concessions!There used to be a second concession on the opposite side of H-Mart's produce section. sitting lonely by itself, that served Japanese food, but had a completely inadequate dining area. Last time we check, it was under renovation.To be fair, H-Mart also have a concession that serves primarily Korean Fried Chicken. While their fried chicken is much better than KFC's stuff, it's not a light meal.

Came in with someone who was allergic to shellfish, and made it very clear to the person taking our order that she could not eat shellfish nor have cross-contamination with it. Ordered the bento box, and when we got it, there was a shrimp touching the spring roll and edamame. When we pointed out to the person giving us our food that there was a shrimp, the worker simply got some chopsticks, took it off the plate, and gave us the food. Also, it took two minutes to prepare. You’d think they could take another two minutes to give us food that does not contain the serious allergen she made extremely clear she couldn’t eat. Unprofessional, and a waste of money. Wouldn’t eat here if you are allergic to anything, they don’t care.Dietary restrictions: They do not care about your dietary restrictions or allergies. They will give you food you’re allergic to.

I ordered beef upon, and could barely eat it because of how overly sugared and salted it was. This is saying a lot for me, because im notoriously UN-picky. This is the only one of the little restaurants I've tried in the H-mart, next time, I will try one of the others and hope for something better.

I got the pork katsu curry and it was really good.
This was my first time trying Don Don, inside H-Mart, in Cary, and it was very good. We went early on Saturday afternoon to beat most of the crowd, but there was already a line of people forming around each food booth, including Don Don. We waited until they opened at 11 am and ordered the Gyu Don, Chicken Katsu Don and teriyaki chicken and rice for our son. Pretty good food. The beef Gyu Don was super fresh from the quality of the beef used to the steamed, white rice. It had some flavor to it but came off, mainly bland, so I added some low-sodium soy to help enhance the flavors. I should have asked for some gojuchang or sriracha, though, to add a little spice. However, my wife's chicken katsu cutlet and tempura crab sticks were amazing!! Tender, full of flavor and prepared wonderfully. Don Don was the first place I've tried inside of H-Mart and they didn't disappoint. I'd love to try more from here and will be returning often. 4 STARS!!

This fun and creative court is located inside HMart. With many restaurants to try we settled on this one. Be aware if you are a vegetarian the broth is gosh based but yummy!

Spicy Teriyaki Don and Gyoza were great. The workers are super sweet and explain things to customers.

Still worth the trip to get some good food at a street price. It made to order so service is order and wait (20 minutes or more). Don't expect a lot when it comes to ambiance, it's a food court in a Korean super market.Katsudon is avail in Va. Beach, but this one really hits the spot. One good thing... no Portion police:-))))). Gotta love it!!!!!
