The Bakery Highlight: The absolute star of the show is the freshly made Barbari and Sangak bread. They bake it right in front of you, and getting it straight out of the oven is a game-changer--it tastes absolutely amazing. The Bread Pricing: They have a tiered pricing system for the fresh bread to keep things fair: First 2 pieces: $2.99 each Additional pieces: $3.99 each Pro Tip: Do yourself a favor and grab the Kashk Bademjan (eggplant dip) from the market. Pairing it with the warm, fresh Sangak bread is an incredible combination. Middle eastern desserts available too.

The staff overseeing the store walked throughout the store and fixed things they saw.

The vitamin staff was so helpful! Parking can be difficult during peak times, like lunchtime.

It was very filling and with tip was under $10. The food came out super fast and you can tell it's always good quality because there were multiple people there who the waitress recognized and said "the usual?" to which I think is pretty telling. You honestly don't even feel like you're inside a grocery store. Plus, there's inside and outside seating.

The prices are definitely higher than many other markets, but the quality has always been pretty solid. One of the main reasons I come here is for the Korean beef short ribs. Every time I've bought them, they've been fresh and looked great. The only downside for me is the parking lot. Finding a spot can be a challenge depending on the time of day. Other than that, most of the products here, from frozen foods to kimchi and other groceries, have been consistently fresh. The store is clean, well organized, and doesn't have that strong market smell that some grocery stores can have. Everything is laid out in a way that's easy to find, which makes shopping a little more convenient. The staff isn't especially friendly, but they do their job and I've never had any issues.

Super fisted H Mart, just by virtue of being located in Diamond Jamboree. Even though there's a…read moresign saying that the parking in front is only for H Mart, good luck attempting to enforce it, but I HAVE seen people get towed. Easiest thing to do is pray and use the overflow lot to the side. With that in mind, this location pales in comparison to the others. Although Buena Park and Arcadia can get a bit tight for parking, it's never that much of a PvP zone where literally the entire zip code is in one place. It's also not the biggest H Mart that I've been to either. It's not a Super H Mart like some other locations. They do have a small food court off to the side, but seating is limited. The food court has Maison de Croissant (yummy croffles and other baked goods), Pizza Chicken Love Letter (at least the last time I checked), and I think at least one more. Like the other locations they have packed deli food and other bento box type foods that get discounted later on. Very busy and very crowded and since it's smaller, a bit more limited. Does what it has to, but definitely better locations out there.

We got the grilled salmon and black garlic pepper shrimp with the sweet potatoes and mozzarella pasta salad. They weigh the amount of entree that is put in the platter and it felt like a decent amount of food. We had two pieces of salmon and about 10 pieces of shrimp for the entrees. We split it so it became about 4 meals. The salmon was a little dry so we had to add some sauce but the shrimp was nice and juicy. The sweet potatoes were as expected and simple without much flavoring but the pasta salad was very refreshing. Definitely would get this again for easy meal prep!

The grocery is good for what to expect for any Asian market but the main attraction is the food court. It may not seem like much but all of them are really good and would fill up your hunger instantly. My favorites from the top of my head are the Katsu Don if I remember correctly and the Udon section where you pick your tempura (don't know the exact name). Overall good place to eat lunch or even dinner. Another problem would be finding a seat since there's hardly any tables and your plate is pretty big and bowls are heavy so you have to be somewhat quick to find a seat. The ambiance is fine but that's kind of to be expect in any supermarket, which is usually crowds talking and all. I really don't have much to say. Ever since this place closed down the anime shop, the DVD store, and bookstore, this place pretty much lost what made Mitsuwa special and worth visiting. Especially for someone who's into both anime and tokusatsu like Super Sentai (Japanese Power Rangers). Those places are what got me my first Gundam model kit (Freedom Gundam from Gundam Seed) and my go to place for Japanese DVDs as mentioned (Gokaiger, Kyoryuger, and Nanoha). I understand why they close down these stores, especially with streaming services and online shopping are a thing, even though I don't fully agree as they are customers like me that would prefer in-store physical copies. That is why I deduct one star. These are replaces with a gachapon store, a Matcha store, a Boba store I believe and Daiso. The matcha and boba place (forgot the names sorry) are surprisingly good. I really like the matcha ice cream in a bowl and I believe the Doncha. The gachapon I cannot say as I never spend money there and I'm not into these gacha machines and I rarely buy anything in Daiso as its just your typical convenience store that sells some Japanese stuff so I won't say much. In conclusion, it's a very nice spot to eat Japanese meals and especially something to fill you up for the day while also shopping to buy Japanese food to cook at home. Just be aware this is pretty pricey, especially the Royce matcha chocolates and the food court.

Is this Northpark H Mart smaller than the other Irvine H Mart? I love getting lost in a good Korean…read moremarket browsing, but it is a tad disappointing when you can't find several items on your grocery list. But if you have never been to a Korean market, give it a try! SO many interesting things you will find. Their produce, meat and seafood items are amazing here. There was a row dedicated just to fresh sashimi and sushi. I was grateful to find their weekly special of pork belly, which looked so thick and juicy. And it is always so much fun to look through their snack, refreshments and frozen aisles. What I could not find was smaller sized rice, which is a bit disappointing, as I did not want to be stuck with a huge size. Also, they are a bit more limited on their ramen and porridge items. Perhaps it is a smaller store? Nonetheless, I had a great time shopping at H Mart Northpark. I was happy with all the purchases I did end up grabbing. The quality of their meats, produce and other items all looked fresh at a reasonable price.

I've bought their pre marinated galbi 3 times now and each and every time have been regrettably disappointed and utterly disgusted with their deceptive practices.

This place is really disgusting on how they try to mislead to sell scrap and bones to their customers.
