I'm a big H Mart fan in general. But if we're ranking the H Marts in NYC, this one is not a favorite. For being in the "burbs" this H Mart feels small. It almost feels like there's less product than its KTown counterpart. The freezer section is tiny and their hot prepared foods are nonexistent. Instead of prepared foods, they do have a little restaurant on the side where you can order food. We needed a quick bite and shared the katsu. The curry dip was extremely sweet and so was the dressing on the cabbage. The katsu itself was just ok, and the miso soup that came with it was lukewarm. Disappointing, because hot food served in Asian supermarkets is often very good. If I had a choice between H Marts, this would not be my go to. But, still a reliable choice to get your groceries in the area.

SHOPPERS BE AWARE. When you are at the register checking out be careful and watch how the cashier weighs and scans your grocery. I purchased Cotton Candy Grape @ $7.99 per lbs (already very expensive compared to other markets near by) and when I came back home and perused the receipt I realized the cashier double charged me for the grape. And also realized she cleverly changed the per Ibs amount from $7.99 to $6.99 and hoping I wouldn't notice it right away? Have a look at the attached pic and decide for yourself.

EXCELLENT supermarket. For all the Irvins lovers, this is the supermarket that carries many flavors of Irvins. Made in Singapore. I've not encountered another supermarket that carries as much. Anyone know? All authentic. They also carry Black & White evaporated milk: extra creamy, one of the most important ingredients for HK style milk tea. They have a lot of fresh sashimi and fish at reasonable prices. There's a lot of fresh meat too. There was a food court where they cook fresh foods. There was a helper to indicate a cashier line for each customer and there was another helper to bag your goods if you provide them your reusable bags. I was surprised this level of service still exists. The supermarket is clean and tidy with clear names and prices. I enjoyed my shopping experience very much.

This review is for the restaurant that's part of this H Mart. Place is clean, & well run. Order with the cashier, & wait for your number to be called. Small menu, but the dishes are made well. Black pork is tough to find, & this spot has it. Big portions. Love the extras that come along with the entree. This H Mart has a parking lot; & a Paris Baguette as well.

This is a pretty popular Korean grocery store. I can tell just by looking at the parking lot and seeing how busy the traffic is. And to find a parking spot here is very difficult unless you are lucky. But if you do find a spot, you will find the trip rewarding. They got a big variety of Korean groceries. I come here mostly to find Korean noodles and slacks. But was a little disappointed to find just one or two aisles to look for my selections? The produce section is nice and decent. Other than that, the place is nice, clean, and organized. There is even a nice Korean take-out restaurant right next door that serves decent Korean food. This is ideal to take care of a lot of stuff in one trip.

#20 hwedupbap

Ordered #20 hwedupbap for brunch and it was delicious! For $16.33, you get a huge bowl of fresh salmon and veggies with a delicious sauce. Not only that you get a bean sprout soup, kim and side dishes. It takes awhile for the food to come out, but it's worth the wait.

This H Mart is likely the biggest one I've been to yet. Its pre-made food section is proper ginormous and there's even a Paris baguette inside, but I wish they had more than one aisle for snacks! Another perk is the parking lot even though it took us a hot minute to actually park on Christmas Eve (Friday). We wanted to go here to get some marinated meat for kbbq at home on Christmas, and while we did have some trouble locating the goods, we were pleased to see that there was a fridge dedicated to marinated meat and plenty to choose from! The octopus option was my favorite, and we ended up mixing some chopped squid from hmart into the marinated octopus. It was simply divine and cooked quick. We got some pork belly and beef too. The pork took longer than the beef to cook, but the wait was well worth it! Aside from the meat, we also got some unique snacks, like seaweed with toasted nuts and stuff, grape flavor Choco pie looking thing, and cream cheese puffs. This hmart is def worth a visit

The H Mart here feels smaller than their other locations. I usually go to H Mart for the food court and this is on the smaller end, too, and tucked away on the side. It's so convenient to grab a meal here and then do your grocery shopping. The lunch portions were great and very filling. It was okay finding a parking spot on a weekday but can imagine how busy this is on the weekend.

Just thought this was a funny photo.. How is it live when it's frozen??

Great H-Mart location with produce and meats always in stock. Always used to come pre-COVID and love the place (and the small restaurant where you can grab great food to go), so I'd give them 5 stars in the past; but, I feel like they aren't doing enough with regard to COVID. Other locations that I've been to limit the number of customers and provide gloves. This location is pretty packed with people who are all willing to squeeze up next to you. One lady was just walking around chatting on the phone up and down one of the aisle! This is not the time for chit chat! Onto the foods, they have a great assortment of meat and seafood. They have some marinated meats, which are really convenient if you aren't in the mood to make your own marinade or just want something quick for dinner. Their marinated bulgogi is a little tough, but their spicy pork is great. They also have a huge selection of Lee Kum Kee sauces which is amazing especially since it isn't even a Korean brand! Their snack section is also plentiful and packed with Korean snacks. Besides their Lee Kum Kee section, there aren't too many Chinese spices/ foods so I would mostly just recommend the place for Korean foods (as you may expect lol). Their fruits are generally very sweet and they have an abundance of whatever fruit happens to be in season.

Grocery shopping in the time of COVID-19. As a Korean grocery store, this H Mart location does a good job. In addition to high-quality Korean grocery items, including prepared hot foods, I'm also impressed with how they're able to keep their shelves stocked and pretty neat during these times. Prices are not the best you'd find around, and variety of certain items can be limited, but I think the quality makes up for it. My issue with this H Mart is they are not doing nearly enough to promote safety for their staff or customers. Unlike other H Mart locations, they do not limit the amount of people in the store at a time, which leads to overcrowding, and social distancing becomes an impossibility. The line to pay, although quick-moving, wraps around to the back of the store at times. They provide hand sanitizer by the entrance, but do not clean shopping carts in between customers or provide gloves.

Pork kimchee soup
May W.

The food court is a disappointment after the COVID-19 reopening. I order a pork Kimchee soup. Which I have ordered many times before. I look into my soup there were only 2 pieces of pea side pork in the soup. I went back to the counter and ask her. he must have forgotten to put in the pork into my soup. I was told that after she repeated using the spoon dipping into my soup and found two pea-size pork. And told me here it is. I said my order is with pork and if I wanted Vegetarian, I would have ordered it. I try to support local business but this is not how you go to keep your business going. if you cheat people out of their money

I am updating my original review because Food Bazaar has now made it unmistakably clear that…read morenothing was actually fixed after my first complaint. After my original review, Merci D. (management) posted a polished public response suggesting that the issue had been taken seriously and addressed. That response now looks like pure corporate theater. I returned to the store and ran into the same ridiculous problem all over again: I asked a simple question about where to find Greek yogurt, and once again encountered employees who either spoke little to no English or were unable to provide even the most basic assistance. That alone would be bad enough, but the dysfunction did not stop there. The lines were absurdly long, and at exactly the worst possible time, several self-checkout kiosks were closed simultaneously. In other words, when the store most needed efficiency, it managed to manufacture delay instead. The attached photo speaks for itself. Shutting down multiple self-checkout stations while customers are stuck waiting in long lines is not just poor judgment; it is operational stupidity. This is not a minor inconvenience. It is a pattern. Customers should not have to wander the store like unpaid investigators because staff cannot answer a basic question, and they certainly should not then be rewarded for their trouble with needless delays at checkout because management cannot keep enough kiosks open to handle traffic. What makes this especially irritating is that Merci D. (management) had already publicly acknowledged the earlier problem and implied that corrective action had been taken. Clearly, it had not. Her response now reads less like genuine customer service and more like a performative block of text written to contain public embarrassment while leaving the actual dysfunction intact. At this point, the problem is bigger than rude service or inconvenience. This store appears to be poorly run at a basic operational level. If Food Bazaar cannot ensure that employees can communicate well enough in English to help customers locate ordinary items, and cannot keep sufficient checkout capacity open during busy periods, then it is failing at the most elementary responsibilities of a retail business. Food Bazaar had an opportunity to correct this after my first review. Instead, it seems to have chosen the cheaper and lazier option: issue a hollow public reply, pretend the problem was addressed, and continue subjecting customers to the same chaos. That is not professionalism. That is incompetence with a public relations filter slapped on top of it. Food Bazaar did not fix the problem. It dressed it up, lied about addressing it, and carried on with the same incompetence. At this point, Merci D.'s response looks less like accountability and more like a written receipt for empty promises.

My sister took me to Northwell Urgent Care in Bayside, where I found out I had COVID. After that, we went to the nearest supermarket, Stop & Shop in Bayside, so she could grab ingredients to make me a good homemade soup. I've been to this location before and didn't love it. It's not well lit, and I never buy produce from there for that reason. My sister went inside because I was too sick to move. She spent $71 just on soup ingredients. When I went to make the soup the next day, almost everything was outdated or spoiled: Butternut squash turning black Cauliflower already browning Wilted broccoli medley Diced turnips and artichoke hearts no good and to make it worse -- none of it was marked as "Manager's Special", which usually signals produce that's close to expiration. It was just sitting on the shelves like everything was fresh. We ALWAYS check dates and appearance first, but my sister was rushing because I was so sick. She didn't feel like driving back to return it, so the spoiled produce went straight into the garbage. Shame on the produce staff for not doing their job. That is unacceptable. Customers should not have to throw their money in the trash, especially when buying food out of necessity. Thankfully, the other items she bought were usable. I made a soup with a small stir fry veggie mix, chopped garlic, ginger paste, chicken bone broth, and my seared chicken legs I already had at home. The soup came out so good -- and I actually feel so much better today. I'll add a picture of the soup when I warm some up later.

Its…read morein an ideal location, they have the real estate, and the neighborhood is pretty good, and yet this is such an absolute disaster of a store. Yet, from the prices they charge, you'd think this was a Whole Foods. This is made worse by the fact that the staff seems to not care about their store or the shoppers, and can be openly hostile when inconvenienced. You can see from the reviews how they are with returns, and its true. We had an issue with a single bottle of milk that wasn't sealed properly. First they tried to deny a return based on the 24 hour return window (stated nowhere) had been exceeded. It hadn't even been 12 hours, but nobody bothered to look at the date and time. After having to argue what should have been a non-issue, and getting store management involved, the store then proceeded to claim that the clearly unopened bottle was not leaking (why would we return it, if it was fine) and that it has been swapped out with something else (again, why). After having to argue it for some time, they offered to take it back and swap it, but they would do it for us - because they would not allow us to get our own replacement bottle. After all of the fighting for a $3 half gallon of milk, it was pretty clear they were going to just walk away and come back with the same bottle. We said we couldn't trust they would not give us the same bottle, and they said they were concerned we would just get a bottle with a later date. SO PETTY. Finally they relented and allowed us to get a bottle with the same sell by date, clearly foiling our dastardly plan to get an extra day of milk, because taking the time to bring an unopened milk back and fighting the staff is worth one more sell by date day. I've been living in the area for over 20 years, and this is the third iteration of this supermarket that I'm aware of. It was Waldbaums, then Food Universe, and now Key Food. Every one of these has been awful, and this is very much the worst version of the three.

I usually just try to borrow my roommate's car to go to Waldbaum's and order FreshDirect otherwise, but if I'm in desperate need of groceries other than produce I head down to C-Town. C-Town is good for basics and has a good meat selection (unlike anywhere else within 15 minutes of my apartment), but their produce is often a little sketchy. I usually have a hard time finding un-bruised, fresh-looking fruits and veggies. Prices are decent, and there's an extensive frozen foods and dairy section, but for anything fresh I'd either go to Bell Farm or Waldbaum's (though neither of those can touch Whole Foods or the Greenmarket).

The grinder made a lot of noise and the coffee came out extremely course with some whole beans in the mix. Clearly the grinder was broken. I shrugged and moved on. I was a couple of aisles away when a manager approached me with the coffee bag in his hand and an expression on his face like he was smelling rotten onions. He was clearly irritated and wanted to know what my problem was that I ground and left the coffee. Feeling no guilt, I calmly informed him that the grinder was broken and showed him the coarseness of the grind as evidence. He asked me to join him at the coffee grinder as he was intent on giving me a lesson on how to operate the thing. Why I went along with him? Not sure. Usually I am not so patient and yielding. The setting was clearly on the line between auto-drip and fine. Undeterred, he thought to run the coffee through again. The noise was even louder than when I tried it. This time the grinder produced not only more partially ground coffee but also a shard of broken blade. Some more dramatic than myself might refer to this as, um, shrapnel. He sort of apologized. Not enough.
