H Mart

Pretty typical H-​Mart. There are a couple of stores right outside of the grocery area. There is a small bakery and a cafeteria. The cafeteria has a decent selection of food, but nothing to write home about. Most of the tables are not cleaned regularly. This market doesn’t have a prepared food section (e.g., gimbop, banchan, rice cakes, etc.), so that’s a minus.

From the moment I saw the rows and rows of sriracha displayed, I knew H Mart was bae.
I’ve been so sad about there not being a Korean market in Seattle proper and have been putting off going all the way to Lynnwood (kind of dramatic I know) but now I regret not coming sooner. Forget Uwajimaya– I’ll be coming here from now on!
H Mart instantly reminded me of the Korean markets I so fondly remember frequenting back in LA. So much variety. Such affordable produce. Allllll of the snacks! The snack & candy aisles here are overwhelming. SO MUCH GOOD STUFF! Tears of joy may or may not have been shed. :’)
Everything you need to make any Korean dish, you’ll find it here. This place is so BIG. The aisles seem to go onnnnn and onnnn. I appreciated the variety of products you could get here, not just Korean/​Asian things, but some aisles were dedicated to other ethnic foods like Middle Eastern & Hispanic.
Parking: tons of spaces in the giant lot! WOOOO H Mart!

It is a store having variety Asian food choices.
It has a relatively neat, clean and organizing setting.
However, the service is not at top notch, especially in the seafood section. Staff in this section tends to be abrupt, rude and inpatient.
I will still recommend my friends to go there, but just avoid contacting seafood service workers.

This Hmart is wonderful! The store is well stocked with Korean groceries and they have a pretty nice selection of other Asian food. This place is huge, bright and clean. They have a big fish and meat section along with a housewares section. The housewares section contains lunch boxes, dishes, aprons, house slippers and high end rice makers.
Employees are very helpful if you have any questions.
The food court is big and they have Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese for food choices. (I ordered omu rice from Hometown huge serving, and it was delicious.)
I’m definitely making this my go to store for Korean groceries.

Best market in WA state ! Get great food, awesome Groc store !!! Gift shops, make 2 monthly visits a month.

Great variety of Asian food! It’s like a mall inside which is great! It is a little dirty though.

Great H-​mart location right next to a Costco !
They have a food court with 6 different cuisines — inclusive of sushi, Indian, Korean :)
The food court is decent food! The salmon hand rolls were cheap and delicious.
The grocery store was larger than the Bellevue H-​Mart
Would go here again! :)

I love Hmart. The produce and fruit look fresh and the price is cheaper than Costco too. I wish the downtown location will open sooner.

Wow disappointed with the veggies here at the Lynnwood store. This review is for April 9^th 2016 visit. 2 of 3 potatoes are rotten in the core but look fine on the outside. their green veggies look a few days old and lost it freshness. Not sure what’s up with the quality, someone isn’t doing their qc. Meats are still good though.

I loooooove this place! This is basically one of the best places you can get Asian groceries that have quality, variety, and good pricing, and this particular location is huge! It’s mostly Korean stuff, but there’s still tons of offerings from other Asian cultures as well. Another plus is their side-​dish offerings, and my mom and I tend to get a lot of our meat from here, since we’ve had great experiences with the quality and taste.
Additionally if you’re looking for good thermal containers, lunch containers/​bento boxes, or rice cookers, this is the place!!! They have a good selection and these products are the best!
I’ve also always loved looking around all of the other businesses that are under the same roof with H-​Mart. I really like their food court and bakery, so I could proooobably spend several, several hours in this place…

I go to this place because it’s close by my house but they make me feel so uncomfortable when I go there they just stare at me like why am I here I am not Korean I know but you don’t have to make me feel so uncomfortable thank God Hong Kong supermarket next to my house I will go here from now on

One of my favorite Asian supermarkets in the Seattle area. Good quality food at reasonable prices. Great selection of sliced hot pot meats and the supermarket seems pretty clean overall. Highly recommended!

H-​Mart is one of the best Asian groceries in the area. They are a Korean grocery store though so if you’re looking for Vietnamese or Chinese you may have to dig a while. I still pick up most of my Chinese sauces here as well as some dried noodles and dumplings.
What I really use H-​mart for is produce and fresh meat/​seafood. They have amazing rib-​eye and short ribs and their crab is usually cheaper than anywhere else.

Congested parking lots — feel like drivers are sleep walking. Maybe it’s my caffeine talking. LOL!
Unsurpassed extensive selection of produce. Deli offers Korean side dishes and snacks. Samples available which I avoid. I’ve seen some folks use the same toothpick often.
Lines are long… and service is slow.

Only reason I really keep going back is for the food court. Outside of that, I’m pretty disappointed with the several trips that I’ve made here. Here are my top reasons for not returning:
1. There are long lines at the registers.
2. They have very very poor quality produce.
3. Observed items that require refrigeration were left out in cardboard boxes in front of the fridge for display and purchasing. (Not left in boxes awaiting to be stocked)
4. Lack of expiration dates or not removing items past expiration
5. Staff is either unavailable or not knowledgeable enough to assist in answering (aside from language barriers)
The pro to this store is that it is geared towards Korean goods which is what I need, but considering their low standard for quality is pervasive in most aspects of this store, I do not recommend this to other shoppers.

The fact that this place is practically the only major large Korean grocery store is the reason I keep going back. Otherwise, it’s pretty run down looking and the produce section pretty awful. I mostly get things that are prepackaged. The meats department is sketchy looking but I do get some items that other groceries don’t normally carry like the cuts of pork belly that I like.
I’d say they are pretty congested in terms of customer flow, so I’m unclear as to why they can’t maintain the facilities better to improve overall customer experience. Another big pull for why people come here seems to be the food court, yet they don’t seem to invest much into this either. For example, most patrons end up leaving their dirty dishes and trays at the table instead of returning them, and Hmart has staff to come and clean up but clearly not enough. On a busy day, they can’t keep up and it looks like the Rapture just happened since there’s so many empty tables but with dirty dishes on them. This ends up being problem because most tables are already occupied and there’s more and more people needing seats but can’t since they’re dirty.
Anyway, this place is a love-​hate kinda place. I keep coming back for certain things, but I definitely think they should get things in order for the sake of retention of their current customers and not gross out new ones.

H Mart how I adore you!
Nice Asian market wonderland with attached food court! This is sort of a more Asian (does that make sense?) version of the multi-​use mega mart more like Ranch 99 and less like the more glossier and expensive Uwajimaya. You can get your Filipino banana ketchup, Korean kim chi, weird Japanese drink and fresh pompano under one roof. After that head over to the food court where they sport indian, Korean, Chinese and Japanese food options. I usually head to the Korean stand who’s name is only in Korean so have no idea what is called. I imagine it translates into something like «delicious animal parts» because all they seem to have is delicious soon dae (Korean blood sausage), sliced pig parts (hock, liver etc.) I love the Soon Dae there that you can get un-​adorned just with some spicy salt. Come to H Mart!

I always stay at Lynnwood area when we travelling to Washington State. I believed Lynnwood has the best Korean food in town. We also found Korean chain supermarket H Mart open in this quite mall.
This place is amazing in all that they provide in the Asian categories. Just about any packaged foods from Asia can be found there. Fresh produce, meats and seafood too!
Even though the price is a bit expensive, but, it’s good to shop here

Very odd that I haven’t reviewed this place yet. It’s not that I shop here a ton, but I’ve certainly been in here plenty and lived nearby for quite a while. They have a TON of good stuff here. And everything is priced reasonably. Produce for days, and aisles and aisles and aisles of packaged goods – all the oils, pastes, sauces, dried goods, and every other packaged ingredient you could want. There’s a whole aisle of beer, and all the usual sundries you’d expect from a supermarket as well.
The proteins are pretty impressive. This is NOT the place to come for organic local stuff, but the prices are a steal. You can get fresh meats with good color for half what you’d pay anywhere else, and fraction what you would pay at a higher-​end supermarket. They’re up front about stuff that’s farm-​raised; I’m not gonna buy farm-​raised seafood from way overseas, but the land animals from the US are equally affordable here.
The checkout lines and the parking lot are a complete fustercluck here, but there’s an ultra-​rad food court and a bunch of other businesses in here along with the supermarket. It is indispensable.

So I stopped in as a friend recommended the Red Ginseng Tea from H Mart– She said you can’t go wrong with this tea, for energy and well being. So I stopped in on a Monday night– First impressions is the smell. Seafood. Oh God Seafood. So if there is one thing I don’t like its Fish. Seafood, anything that lives in the water. So should I hold this against H Mart for the overwhelming smell that made me buckle at the knees? I don’t know. I have been to other Asian markets and due to the amount of fresh fish, live fish, I have experienced this before. I have lived in the SW for 18 years. Not familiar with such strong odors in a store… Gonna be honest I didn’t like it…
Walking through the store they had great deals on products like chili sauce and rice vinegar products that I have spent double even triple at local grocery stores– I stocked up on that– Found my Korean Red Ginseng Tea at a great price and loved he selection of «dieters tea» (yes I love that tea it helps keep me regular don’t hold it against me the selection was great, even overwhelming) I also got a huge bag of brown rice for under $ 5. What a awesome place to buy any kinds of asian foods at spectacular prices! The produce looked fresh as well, no wilted or bad produce to report…
The checkout girl was super friendly and nice, overall it was a great experience. Yes the store smelled of seafood. Maybe all Asian stores smell this way when they have such a large fresh seafood selection. I don’t know as I don’t eat seafood. So for that I will let that go. I just don’t think I could ever eat in the food court as it was just too overwhelming for a non-​seafood fan. I am sure the fans out there feel the opposite though,. I will be back!
