Great place for Korean and Japanese spices and all your hotpot/kbbq needs. I would only come to get things you can't find at other grocery stores as prices are more expensive.

Went shopping here and found everything I needed and MORE!!! Everything was easy to find and there was such variety! Afterwards we were hungry and ended up just eating at the food court . The food was great !

Great location for produce, meats (pork, especially), and specialty Asian ingredients. But the last couple times I've visited, I haven't been able to find certain ingredients I was looking for. And here's the problem: no one in this store knows where anything is, or whether an item is even carried. Most of the time I get a shrug as an answer to my question, and discussion is finished. I can honestly say that whenever I've asked about an ingredient, NO ONE has ever given me an answer. EVER. Moreover, half the staff speak Korean and almost no English, and the other half speak Spanish and absolutely no English. Makes it really tough sometimes. Parking is challenging.

Great place to shop! I personally like preparing my own authenic dishes from scratch, H Mart hits the spot for me. When I'm looking for the ingredients for my spring rolls, homemade sushi, flat noodles for my soups, fresh seafood, hard to find fruits and vegetables, this is the place to go! One more thing...which I find as a huge plus...if you go up the escalator, you'll find restaurants! It's great! They also have a shop to buy accessories that you can purchase needed for your authenic dishes! Really a great place! I love it!

Shopping at H-mart was a wonderful learning experience. It was my first time in the store and I was so excited to explore the Asian food items. H-mart is a kinda medium-sized supermarket it has two levels, the bottom is pretty much the market side and the top level, I believe is the food court. I didn't manage to go to the upper level. H-mart has items such as Asian snacks, convenience items such as packaged noodles, produce, meats basically everything that you would find at any market just with a Asian twist. Last week I wanted to make korean bb.q chicken so I was looking for a authentic korean sauce to compliment my chicken. A lovely store associate helped me find the perfect sauce that I was looking for and it was delicious. Overall I will definitely visit H-mart again to explore the top level! Oh and prices are affordable and reasonable.

This is the worst H Mart that I've ever been too, I visit this location a few time a month because it is a one stop shop for all of the ingredients that I need. But every time I visit this location I am treated poorly, the staff or security guard always follows me around and treats me as though I'm stealing something. The last straw was when I visited yesterday I went up stairs to purchase some kitchen accessories and one of the staff members was upstairs alone next thing I know I see two ladies standing behind me watching my every move. I knew they were store associates because I've seen them before, I took a photo of the ladies and told them that I was going to report them, after I said that they went to the other side of the store. Then when I went down stairs to continue my shopping I saw them again and when they noticed that I was looking at them they walked away. I spend over $100 every time I visit this store and should not have to deal with being treated so disrespectfully.

This H Mart is in a very congested part of Upper Darby, and parking is at a premium. Still, if Asian groceries are your game this is one of the best places to play, short of going down to Chinatown or Washington Avenue to load up. Our goal was the purchase of a variety of excellent noodles to allow us to prepare our home version of Dan Dan Mien, a regular dish in our kitchen. H Mart has an aisle full of all kinds of them, thick to thin and made from all types of veggie flour. We scored both Japanese Style Alimentary Paste Udon and Somen long noodles, made in Japan with "unbreached" wheat flour. Distributed by Daiei Trading Co., Inc. of College Point, N.Y. We walked around a few minutes to see if there was anything else we needed, but the store really isn't conducive to easy cruising down the aisles, with some product boxes piled up, shopping carts and two way traffic with bad drivers. So, we cashed out and returned to the car. Once there we only had to wait 10 minutes for the street to clear enough for us to back out from our parking spot and get back on our way.

I enjoy going to this grocery store when I run out of Kimchi. I agree with many good reviews here, but no one has mentioned the very very loud disco music that really makes shopping here annoying. Why or why is it like this, I ask? The sound tracks should lull you into a peaceful state, so that you will stay and buy more.

Compared to the one in Edison, this h mart is on the smaller side, located in the upper darby area which is on the outskirts of philly. I like the one in elkton mainly because the food court is a little bigger. It is pretty much on par with the one in elkton in terms of quality and choices. Always find good deals here because they have sales pretty much all the time. You can also try samples as most of the time they have stands with dumplings or noodles during the weekends. They have everything that an Asian market normal has from shrimp crackers to packaged ramen like shin ramen to kalbi cuts of meat all the way to your pocky. Would recommend this one for people who live near the mainline area.

Loved coming here for dinner! The food is VERY affordable, authentic, delicious, and fresh! The great variety amongst the 5 restaurants in the upstairs food court adds to the entire experience. I will definitely be returning here whenever I am craving an affordable Korean meal!
I love hmart because of their food court and their bubble tea especially. I just wish there was more parking. No negative experiences yet.

[859] 1/5/2019 Hmart I stopped into this market due to a friend's recommendation. Parking is tough out in front of the building, but I was able to find a metered space across the street. This market is different but in a good way. I was able to find all sorts of veggies and fruits. The fresh seafood section was awesome as I was able to purchase live crabs and all types of shrimp. Picked up some prepared sushi and it was good that I'll definitely can stop in for just this item. There are tons of other Korean type foods that are available. Most I haven't heard/seen before but the items are popular. I can tell by the large fresh packaging. They also have a few small grocery aisles. There is an upstairs but I have not visited that portion yet. The store is packed as I visited on a Saturday afternoon. The only reason this place was not 4 stars was because the store is tight so it was hard to move around. I had to leave my cart an aisle over while I shopped. Only a few cashiers but the line moved quickly. I'll definitely be back.

There's not much I can add to what's already been Yelped. This place is insane...in a good way. I went specifically in hopes of finding nanami togarashi, a traditional Japanese seven-spice mixture I first encountered at the hibachi bar at Minado. And I found it easily. Had to buy a larger portion than I would've liked but it was a better value than ordering it from Amazon. If you go on a Saturday morning like I did free parking in the lot across the street is a piece of cake.

Decided to get some pre marinated LA kalbi short ribs. The box/container that the meat came in and leaking all over the place, definitely could change to a different packaging. Just cooked some tonight and I had to throw the remainder out even though I just bought them yesterday. The short ribs had an extremely sour, expired taste. I do not think the person marinating them knew what they were doing. Extremely disappointing and disgusting. The grocery store itself also was cramped and difficult to move around in.

This place offers various items a traditional grocer doesn't offer. They have wide ranges of asian ingredients that is hard to come by. Although Hmart is Korean focused and Korean owned, you will find plenty of products from many other cultures. There is also a food court upstairs with Korean/Japanese/Chinese style of foods as well as a bakery. If it wasn't for the fact that it's 40 mins away, this place would be my only go to place for my groceries.
