Amazing assortment of produce from all over the world. If it grows on this planet, you will find it here. Anything from conventional local mushrooms to the more exotic. Durian, jackfruit, cherimoya, purple bananas, all types of melons, greens and eggplants. Even though it’s an Asian market, lots of Latin American produce, so the clientele is quite diverse. Saturday afternoon was pretty packed including some folks with, ahem, very lively kids. What’s nice is that their groceries are more or less sorted by type rather than country. For example, you will find your Chinese, Japanese and Korean condiments all grouped together. Soy sauce next to Kekap Manis, Mirin next to rice wine etc. Prices are lower than Pacific Ocean Market Place, and definitely lower than run of the mill super markets. Organic tofu $ 1.29. A pint of blueberries $ 1.99. Asian pear from China $ 0.89 per lb. Sushi rolls all under $ 8. Prepared Korean foods available in the store or the attached restaurant. The spicy tuna roll I picked up for $ 6.99 wasn’t very good. Dry and gummy like. The veggie maki roll was better. Fresh, had a nice crunch from the pickled radish and I liked the addition of spinach. $ 4.99 for a huge double roll is a great price. Careful with the labeling, though, my «vegetarian» sushi roll had imitation crab in it, which is made of cooked fish. Finally, bring some cash for the lady right in the front selling her hand-made Korean rice cakes. When I say cakes, think of them more of sweet dumplings made of glutinous rice flour and water. If you like mochi, you will love these. Chewy, very fresh and not too sweet. A definite departure from Western sweets.

Always a good experience coming here. I always stop to the side and buy some boba and the chocolate taiyaki. They have a great 5 for $ 5 deal. They also have a bakery and a restaurant inside that I have yet to try. their selection is always great from the seafood, to the candies. Any Asian product you need, they have. I bought a crab from here not too long ago and it was soo delicious. Their prices are also amazing! Come by here, you won’t regret it.

Yasss! An Asian market with everything I need to make Asian noodles and Filipino Food. I was able to load up on all the Pocky sticks, nori, mochi ice cream, and Korean BBQ! I just hate that it was a bit of a drive to get there.

Oh H Mart, I heart you! This store has it all when it comes to Asian goodies… food, kitchen wear, clothes, seriously the have it all. I mostly come here for produce, noodles, sauces and fish for sushi. It can be a little intimidating if you’re never been in or don’t know what things are(if you look closely most of the items have the name written in English somewhere on the label). If you come here on a Saturday or Sunday, the sample people are out giving samples of probiotic drink, dumplings, meat, etc. Don’t fear the unknown, try to come here early in the morning when it’s not too packed and take your time looking around. I’ve found great dressings, sauces, steamed buns and new to me vegetables by taking a chance and trying something new. They have a loyalty card but it really doesn’t to much good unless you end up spending $ 1000 here.

Don’t buy any appliance from here. Their return policy is bull shit. We brought a medium size pot from them. Realize that it was a bit small. Try to exchange it! They refuse! We only had it for 2 days and didn’t even use it. Typical Asian sales scam sales place.

I’m a fan of this place, I mean who doesn’t love Asian Food? From produce, meats, seafood, and stuff to fill your pantry… You are sure to find some of your favorites here! What makes the grocery trip even more enjoyable are the hilarious signs that they put up. Blunt and to the point, it’s awesome that the management still puts it out there. From flushing the toilets in the restroom to making sure you don’t open packages… It’s a no-brainer, but you know, some people have to be reminded, right? I like to go here at least once a month to restock my pantry. And you really can save a lot of money on produce alone. This is where I buy all the essential veggies and meats for Filipino food homecooking. The Filipino Food section is quite sparse here, but hey, it’s not a Filipino Grocery store, so I buy what I can get. If you are in need for some Asian groceries and you’re in the area, it’s a great place!

Wow! This place is amazing! I went here searching for ingredients for a black pepper tofu recipe(delicious, btw). I did not realize how massive this place is. I felt like a supermarket noob. They didn’t have everything I needed like shallots, but in contrast I was utterly overwhelmed when I landed in the soy sauce aisle looking for dark and soy sauce(???). Fortunately, one Unilocaler led me to Ketjap Manis(sweet) and I found some double fermented soy for my dark. I swore I spent 20 minutes back and forth in that soy sauce aisle. And my recipe turned out great!

Since I cook primarily Chinese and Japanese food at home, I like to buy a lot of my groceries from Asian supermarkets. They have a huge selection of fruit and veg, along with a pretty decent meat section and a pretty good frozen food selection. Initially, the store can seem quite difficult to navigate through, but it’s pretty self explanatory. The sauces and spices take up two aisles and can be quite tedious to search through to find stuff(it took me two tries to find mirin) but now I know the lay of the land I can get my groceries done super fast now. They usually have amazing sales on different vegetables which rotate every week or so!

WHY are you so far away, H Mart? Though I regularly do my «asian» grocery shopping at a spot much closer to me, I love coming here. It’s the Asian Supermarket for the Denver area, IMO. Tons of delicious prepared foods(mmm! seaweed salad!) and such, plus lots of fresh veggies and fruits. But the last time I went, the loose onions were gross, so be careful. H Mart is a KOREAN grocery though, and some of my preferred Chinese eats seem to be missing. I’ll just buy more kimchee and deal. ;) Don’t forget to go through the«home goods» section for cute mugs, plates, and various kitchen wares that you didn’t know you needed.

H Mart is great and I’m a regular shopper. If you are a fan of asian cuisine, they have a lot of options. For the chronically busy or hopelessly lazy, they have prepared foods that feel like home cooked meals and lots of delicious frozen items that you can’t find anywhere else in Colorado. Sometimes the produce isn’t as fresh as Whole Foods, but it can definitely be a whole lot cheaper. Asian staples like scallions, ginger, and garlic can be found at very cheap prices compared to other groceries. If it’s cold out, wear a coat into H Mart because it’s freezing in there!

This vast cornucopia of Asian goodies is hard to beat. Yes, the staff is often not helpful, but, hey, help yourself and you’ll be fine. The prices are hard to beat. And wow, the variety of seafood on offer is incredible. Since our family is part Japanese, however, that is a problem. Pan-Asian supermarkets never have much in the way of Japanese food. Oh well. That’s why we have Pacific Mercantile, in Sakura Square. The other reason I’m a little queasy about H-Mart is that I like to buy sustainable/organic food when I can, and the conditions under which some of this stuff is procured/produced are pretty depressing to think about.

I use this shop very regular bases(once a week at least) and the place always met my expectation as far as product goes, and also customer service goes, until last weekend, when I try to buy a gift for my parents at the Korean ginseng place within the Hmart store. the lady who works was very rude and unprofessional. I was waiting right in front of her to ring out my gift and she also acknowledged I was ready to pay. Well, she kept on talking to her friend/customer about Church and whatever else in Korean(she must thought I did not understand any Korean) for good 2 minutes while I stand right in front of her. Ok. Fine. I gave her cash to pay for the gift and she say only credit card to be used because the store is busy and they cannot accept cash today. What??? I was only customer at the stand. That just doesn’t make sense at all!!! I don’t know if I am being sensitive or if this lady is just plain rude. I could at least understand that if she did not have an access to cash register and ask some what nicely why they can only accept CC. I just had never heard such answer in my life. I cannot accept cash because store is too busy. Common, Hmart, you are not little store in the corner, bring your standard up. please.

Every time I go shop, and come home, I promise myself, I will never go back but here I am again because I need something that I can find from POM. The staffs are very rude, and sometimes when I asked them where certain things are — they always answer– I don’t know! Just amazing.

I dunno, y’all, I am not impressed. I went in with a fairly broad, simple grocery list and walked out with not a single item. Whiskey lemon Japanese candies? not here. Duck or quail eggs? Not here. Wide-flat Vietnamese fresh noodles? nope. Fresh taiyaki? My friend recalls there being a bakery in here once — if so, not any longer. Decent selection of produce with herbs and veggies covering asian, east-asian, south-east-asian, and Mexican cuisine. Their Korean ban chan selection is wide(about 2 dozen varieties), but not very tasty verging on the too-sweet or too-salty. What they do have is your basic seaweed/kelp/algea selections along with rice, teas, ramen, etc. But their cookware/dish selection is weak-sauce. Cheap and bleh. I like the PacMerc for basics but now that I’ve moved back to Denver, I’ve gotta find my mecca.

Great selection of produce at amazing prices. A whole pack of shiitake mushrooms for $ 3 bucks? Score! It would have been over $ 10 at King Soopers. They always have fresh veggies and fruits at half the price other grocery stores charge. Not to mention, you can’t find half this stuff at a normal grocery store. Try the korean pears, Ya pears, shanghai bok choy, huge selection of herbs and the persian cucumbers! Right now they have a ton of citrus too(the weird looking wrinkly one is so juicy!). The apples are hit or miss. Grapefruit too. They also have a good selection of frozen dumplings and sauces.

I love H Mart. I’ve been coming here for a few years now for some Grant family staples. Coconut water is cheaper here than it is anywhere else. If you but it on sale you can get it for $ 1 per can. We also buy our brown rice in bulk here because it’s a lot more cost effective. They do have a huge and diverse produce section, but I find it to be hit or miss. The price is really cheap but you get what you pay for and the quality doesn’t always match up. There is also a huge section of Japanese and Korean candy. We almost always pick up a box of Hello Pandas for my husband. They also recently updated the bathrooms and they are much nicer. We don’t come here often, maybe once a month, but it is one of our favorite stores to buy bulk supplies in. I knocked off a star though because the inside is pretty dirty. A mop would do this place some good.

This is one of my favorite Asian markets and I have been to several across the country. They have a large selection of produce ranging from your standard apples and veggies to exotic fruits and vegetables found in south east Asia like dragon fruit or Lychee. They also have a large selection of fresh, high quality sea food as well. Beyond food, you can buy fresh baked pastries, cosmetics, clothing, cookware, appliances, and housewares. They have pretty much everything you could possibly need. The café isn’t bad either — sushi and popular korean dishes.

I’ve been coming here for years now. I don’t visit regularly due to distance, but I could make it my go to store if I were local. I bounce around from Asian stores on Federal to Pacific Mercantile downtown. With regard to Hmart, its not just the size of the place that sells it. It is the variety. I can come in here and get some of my go to items in large sizes for low cost. These include; oils, fish sauce, hoisin sauce, nori, etc. Then there is just the browsing aspect to see what is new or exotic to me. Also, the extensive choice in fish and meats. They have more than the usual five fish types at a typical local grocery store. Hmart is mostly asian but has a few other sections, including Indian and Mexican. Occasionally I will also peruse their retail goods dept, with kitchenware and more. Worth a visit to update the flavors in your pantry.
