    I love this store. Great place to get great meats. Some of the meats of already marinated. Go home and cook it. They have a great pork selection. If you want to have a big cook out go here. Also a great selection of Mexican foods and vegetables.

    Neighborhood grocery store with lots of products outside my realm of interest (like Goya beans). Incredible Apex location where you can't miss it unless you're trying to. And if you are trying to, I can see why as Compare Foods flaunts its strengths and its weaknesses equally. I've stopped in for random items, but they always either seem to have some other version of the brand I'm initially after. They never have what I want, but I end up settling for something else that'll do. That's what sets them apart from stores like Food Lion. I'd hate to say that Bigger Is Better (especially because my favorite GS Trader Joe's proves otherwise) but in this case, that's what's happening. If your thing is Inca Kola or Ducal products, this is your spot, as Compare caters heavily to the Hispanic community. And it's not uncommon to find a taco truck parked outside if you're in the mood for that too. However, I'm more inclined to stop at the one a little ways further down Williams st. toward Holly Springs. Superior tacos at that truck.

    I used to make the long trip to Durham but so thankful there is a much much closer location in wake county.

    I've always wanted to shop here but couldn't fit it in but luckily I was able to after an appt…read more Ample parking space, clean, fresh pastries, and many European items. When I saw their pastries, I knew I wanted to taste them so I got some doughnuts, cookies and croissants. The doughnuts looked like cake doughnuts but once you bite into them, they are the most fluffy, yeast circular confection that melts in your mouth. I will definitely get more. No wonder there was only a few left and it was only 10:00 on a Tuesday. Another item I tried is cookies. It looked sweet but it wasn't so I didn't feel bad giving them to my children. Prices are pretty decent and choices too. The cold pasta, tortellini, ravioli of different filling are good options to feed picky eaters. If they don't like eggplant, they will actually eat it. To my surprise, the big hit with my children are the Gorgonzola walnut tortellini and the 5cheeses. If you enjoy European chocolate, good place to get some and they often have sales by the look of it. Cashier is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Definitely will be back!

Shelves were well-stocked, produce looked fresh enough, and checkout was quick without the usual chaos. The beer selection? Decent, though noticeably different from what I'm used to up in NY--fewer familiar picks, more regional swaps. That said, I did a double take spotting Pink Whitney on the shelf. Didn't expect that here, and honestly, it earned them a few bonus points.

    Came here on a very specific mission: Thai pantry reconnaissance. If you cook Thai food, you…read morealready know the heartbreak of bouncing between stores looking for that one herb that makes or breaks a dish. Happy to report--this place delivers. First pass through produce and I'm already mentally planning three meals. Chinese broccoli (gai lan), Green papayas, Green mangoes, Garlic chives, Thai eggplants, culantro--stacked like they knew I was coming. And then the unexpected jackpot: baby mangoes. Not something you casually stumble upon, and definitely the kind of find. The store itself is clean, well-organized, and surprisingly easy to navigate given how deep the inventory goes. Only tiny hiccup: no Thai basil on this visit. Not a dealbreaker, but the one missing piece in an otherwise near-perfect haul. (I'll forgive it this time because... baby mangoes.)

    Review for H Mart H…read moreMart is one of my favorite Korean grocery stores--ever. I remember when they first opened locations in the Bay Area in places like San Francisco and San Jose, and I would gladly make the trek just to shop there. I've never been disappointed. The stores are always clean, organized, and full of incredible food options. What really makes H Mart special, though, is that it's more than just a grocery store--it's an experience. Inside this massive market, you'll find a bakery, authentic Korean food stalls, and restaurant-quality meals being made fresh. It's honestly amazing to walk into a grocery store and have access to food that tastes like it came straight from a restaurant kitchen. Because I travel frequently for work across the Southeast--covering a pretty large region--I'm always on the lookout for an H Mart whenever I'm near one. I've been lucky to have access to locations like Cary, North Carolina, and the one in Buford outside Atlanta, which serves a large and vibrant Asian community. Whenever I'm within a reasonable driving distance--usually within about 10 miles--I make a point to stop in and enjoy a delicious, authentic Korean meal that's made to order and very reasonably priced. I've brought friends and colleagues with me, and they've all been blown away by the food stalls. My personal go-to: * LA galbi (Korean short ribs)--if it's on the menu, I'm ordering it * All the little banchan side dishes--I absolutely love them * Fresh seafood options, including live crab and fish that can be cleaned and prepared for you * A stop at the bakery for dessert--think croissant donuts, almond pastries, or a beautiful layered crepe cake Some locations--even the ones I visited years ago on the West Coast--would steam or fry seafood for you right there, which makes dinner incredibly convenient. Another thing I appreciate is the cleanliness. This store truly rivals places like Whole Foods in terms of organization and quality, even while handling live seafood. The parking lots are typically spacious, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. I also love browsing the aisles for specialty ingredients you can't find everywhere. For example, they carry my favorite laksa noodles, which remind me of a Malaysian dish I fell in love with while visiting a friend in Mauritius. It's always fun to discover unique items like that. The staff--both in the grocery store and at the food stalls--are friendly and helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. Bottom line: If you're anywhere near Cary, North Carolina--or even the Buford, Georgia area--do yourself a favor and make a beeline to H Mart. As a lifelong foodie, I truly believe: Life is too short not to eat well.
