    H Mart is a local Asian market located in Cary NC. They sell everything from fresh produce, fresh meats, and fresh seafood. They have a variety of Asian snacks, sauces, and Ramen. Basically anything that you may need for a great Asian meal. I always get my fish and shrimp here. You can get your fish cleaned before you purchase them. There is also a small bakery located in the store where you can purchase Asian bakery items such as milk bread. The store is always clean and the staff is always willing to answer any questions that you may have. I absolutely love this store and will be back again and again and again

    Popped in HMart today (Friday) afternoon. The HMart is extremely crowded at this time. I wanted speciality items that I knew I could locate here. It's really difficult to communicate with the staff here and they can come off a bit passive when you don't speak their language. There is also a lot of stocking going on in the aisle while we're shopping which is a bit much. I found what I needed and got out the way. It's definitely an adrenaline rush shopping here. The store can use a deep cleaning in some areas. There are a variety of items here, so that's the positive side.

    Food court + groceries + bakery all in one! H Mart is well stocked and offers a wide variety of items. I especially like the produce section. H mart is reasonably priced for a Cary grocery store. Plus having fast food stalls and a bakery within the same building is convenient. It can get crowded and difficult to navigate the aisles so plan accordingly. Check out is typically quick.

    I love H Mart! This is the first Asian supermarket I've ever been to and it is truly an adventure and delight to try new products that you can't find elsewhere. I love their Soju and Sake selections. They also have a huge selection of Ramen and this has fueled my obsession with Buldak Ramen because they have so many kinds. I don't come here very often because its far away, but it's always pretty crowded when I visit (probably because it's so awesome).

    Honey Garlic Chicken & Pickled Radish

    I had some of the best fried chicken in my life here, the honey garlic drums blew my mind, I wanted a second helping but the wait time being almost 45 minutes per plate was the only deterrent. I enjoyed fresh lychee fruit, pink pineapple, marinated crab , and spicy salmon onigiri in the mean time which made everything better! I wish I had an HMart where I'm from, this place is heavenly

    Market section of H-Mart

    We visit H-Mart in Cary, NC once or twice a month to buy ingredients for Asian foods and eat in its "food court" of concessions, mostly for Love Bao Taiwanese Kitchen (See my Love Bao review for that for more info). This H-Mart is very convenient, complete with Korean and other Asian imported products. Seafood market is 1 of the best parts of the market but most of the seafoods are pricey, and they close a few hours earlier than the entire store, so if you want to buy seafood, make sure to arrive here before 7PM. However, there are frozen seafoods you can get beyond seafood closing hours. During opening hours though, employees can clean off the fishes and weigh shrimps, crab & other seafoods. You can get ice for seafood if you need. They also have a fresh Sashimi; we usually get the salmon/tuna sashimi for around $20+ and the cooked eel for $20+. Both are delicious but they're not cheap. H-Mart is the most convenient and probably the largest Asian grocery in the Triangle, NC, especially for Korean ingredients like fresh kimchi, fish cakes, seaweed salad, gochujang, ssamjang, tofu, and other fresh sides that go well with beef, chicken, or pork bulgogi and galbi, which they also offer. They have well-marinated meats and frozen meat for hot pots, soups, and other Asian favorites. They also have an entire shelf row filled with instant ramen and another with various noodles and rice. Another aisle for canned goods, sauces & spices where we get spicy tuna, soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, seasame oil, yellow & red curry sauces, gochujang, ssamjang, etc,. The have a wide area for frozen foods where where we buy miso, pre-packaged Dukboki & lumpia wrappers. We're not a big fan of frozen foods but if you enjoy them, they have a lot of frozen dumplings, noodles & frozen seafood. They also have freezers filled with mochi ice cream & other frozen desserts. We're not a big fan of the imported snacks & sweets H-Mart offers but they have a great variety of chips, pastries & biscuits/cookies. H-Mart's market section has a great selection of fruits & vegetables. Purple potato is 1 of our favorites here. H-Mart also has the best Kimchi section, offering sliced or whole kimchi in various sizes. Prepackaged soup, tofu sauce & imported alcohol are also found close here. You can find Japanese beers, soju, and sake. I won't go into detail about H-Mart's "food court" since I already talked about 2 of the concessions in their respective reviews here on Yelp, but I will say this: While it's better than its competitors' food-eating areas (such as LiMings in Durham & Grand Asia in Cary), the foods in most of its concessions are either overpriced and/or lacking in quality. Nonetheless, we enjoy eating Taiwanese food from Love Bao here, and it's nice they provide compimentary water (cold or warm). Grocery aisles of H-Mart are always clean, well-maintained; they rarely run out of stock of the products we buy. Customer service is generally fine but there were a couple of instances when cashiers were just unfriendly & negative. The Tours le Jours inside closes too early, so if you enjoy curry bread & other baked goods, try to come here early. There's also a Yaya Tea inside but we rather go to a a better milk tea cafe nearby. There are definitely a lot of reasons to visit H-Mart, and while its customer service, food court, and pricing are not perfect, the ultimate convenience & delicious offerings make it a must-visit for Asian food enthusiasts. Overall Score: 4.6/5

    I love HMart, but we weren't able to find a lot of the items we were looking for (that they had last year) and the prices were WAY HIGHER than we expected.

    The raves about H-Mart are well deserved. While in town visiting friends we needed some ingredients for a few favorite dishes that can be hard to get. We got those and had a great lunch too! So I will write up a few things about the lunch and then talk about the market. LUNCH / food stalls When you enter the store, heading to your right you will begin to see various vendors... hot chicken, sushi, etc. we got two buffet dishes to share. I chose beef bulgogi which was awesome! So tender and flavorful. He got champpong a spicy seafood & noodles dish. He loved it. I loved the flavor too but honestly was glad to have the beef to give my tastebuds a break from the heat! Prices were really reasonable the portions were great. It was crazy fresh and tasty. I will absolutely be back and if I lived nearby I would make a habit of going there! MARKET The selection in every area of the store seems unmatched. Produce, meat, noodles, frozen goods, etc. we came here because we thought we could get everything we needed for a few special holiday dishes and we got great quality too. And we got mochi ice cream just cause! One area I would like to spend more time in was the housewares because you can really outfit a kitchen.

    H Mart is the place to visit when looking for a variety of produce, spices, + an impressive selection of meat and seafood options. The store includes a beauty/skincare specialty area, an arcade, Kung Fu Tea and a food court. The store is a whole experience. From the variation in foods, to the surprise of the arcade to the delicious drinks at Kung Fu Tea. One of my favorite sections in H-Mart is the kimchi section. I enjoy eating kimchi with rice, so I am always in this section. I also like the snack area. It's always nice to try something new when going to H Mart. Definitely give this store a try. The options are endless.

    Papaya that was very yellowed but few hrs later started welting and did not taste like papaya at alllll!

    Not only is their produce quality suspect I cut into $20 dollar papaya just for it to welt and spoil few hours later didn't taste nothing like a papaya. When I tried to address customer service rather than speaking on quality what was mentioned was "not being able to afford it" Discrimination is allowed here steer clear if you care where your $ goes. Spoke to management they just made an excuse that someone fainted 5 minutes ago lol no idea what that had to do with my encounter and her not focusing on quality rather affordability. Disgusted. Never shopping here again

    Ask the Community - H Mart - Cary

    Do they sell soy sauce marinated crab? I have never been to H Mart and wanna know before I make the 2 hour drive.

    They have rotating items on that menu. You might find it but you'd be best to call if they prepared it that day. They make a bunch of different side dishes and I have seen it but not often.

    They certainly do.

    Is the food court open now for dine in?

    I was there over the weekend and it was open.

    Does this location sell Korean Fried Cheese?

    I have never seen it there. Even in the frozen section. Excellent Korean fried chicken on the first shop on the right hand side when you come in the door. Get the spicy one you will love it.

    Are any of the dine in restaurants open yet in the Cary HMart?

    They are open for to go only.

    With COVID-19 raging on, is the bakery still selling baked goods? I'm craving some western-style Asian buns but I live far enough from H-Mart that I don't want to make a trip just to be disappointed if the bakery isn't open.

    Yes, the bakery is open. They are selling pastries that are pre-bagged. Still worth the trip.

    Do they sell boba pearls here?

    Yes.

    Anyone know what restaurants are at the food court? Was wondering if they were all the same ones

    They have couple restaurants that have traditional Korean dishes. And one of them also serves some Chinese noodle dishes, there is a Korean fried chicken spot, and Japanese spot that serves noodle and rice dishes. All restaurants are really good,… Read more

    Some stations may be closed before the main store shuts down.

    Is the delimanjoo still open?

    If you are referring to the shop that sold fish shaped pastries in the cafe area it's closed. The bakery near the cashiers is indeed still open.

    Do they sell individual Aloe Vera leaves at this store?

    Yes they do but be aware the inventory changes. I've seen individual aloe vera leaves sold but there have been times when they were not there. Your best bet would be to call the store prior to making the trip out there especially if you are coming… Read more

The front doors were obscured so it almost looked closed, but luckily they swung open as I walked up to the entrance :) Inside, I was impressed by the huge selection of European wares, many of which I'd never seen before. I was intrigued by the zucchini spread but passed on it this visit. I also liked that all of the items had the country of origin listed with the price. I ended up only getting a package of pierogis for this visit, but I did check out the beer and wine section before I left. I wouldn't say the beer selection was huge, but there were quite a few interesting options that I think would be difficult to find anywhere else. There were lots of lagers, so if you're into that, Golden Hex may be your spot :) The cashier was polite and checked us out quickly. Overall, I liked Golden Hex and would definitely consider coming back to shop again.

Fresh International Market, while isn't as large or vast as some other markets, has the staples of Asian cuisine ingredients. I was able to find plentiful mustard greens, bean sprouts, taro, daikon, etc. They even had balut! Which is an indication that a lot of old school families go there, since balut is a controversial yet deep rooted delicacy of the east. In terms of herbs though, they seem to have more Chinese herbs, than Vietnamese or Korean which is a pattern I'm noticing with Asian grocers. Whatever ethnicity owns a certain grocery, carries more food items of that ethnicity, as opposed to others. It took me a while to figure that out. Just like any other Asian grocers, they have a ton of veggies, meat, snacks and even cute ceramics - bowls, plates, dipping sauce dishes, utensils, etc. They also have a neat sit down or to-go hotpot bar, similar to a buffet style bar (although it's served to you) so you can build your own meal. I found that super neat and convenient for people who just want a quick bowl but not all of the fuss of small plates, and the overall hectic experience of hot pot. Connected to the store is a nice French bakery too, that adds to the convenience of this grocery store. Overall, a good place to secure all of your Asian grocery needs!

For $10.99 (three-item plate), you get a very generous amount of food, which is hard to beat. There are also a decent number of meat options to choose from. That said, the selection felt limited for anyone going meat-free, and more importantly, the food itself lacked flavor. The mapo tofu was disappointing, and the bok choy was pretty bland. Others in our group tried the orange chicken, which was described as okay, but nothing anyone would go out of their way for. Overall, it's filling and affordable, but not particularly memorable. Good for quantity, just not quality or standout flavor.
