I stopped by to check it out and it's pretty small with cramped aisles. Snack selection is limited. Only two Lays flavors :( and not even close to the variety at 88 Marketplace. Prices are also on the expensive side. read more

This was our second time going to H Mart. We went this time to grab lunch and we picked up a few aniguris placed an order with the restaurant and took our food home. Upon opening the aniguri we found an extremely long piece of hair in it. H Mart has a clean space, but it seems that their kitchen practices are unsanitary. Along with the service there, their communication style is unclear. Definitely do extra research on Google to know what it is you are ordering because the workers do not speak English. I usually love going to H Mart, but this time I was appalled seeing this when we got home. My advice is to definitely get the grocery food and not the premade food from the cafeteria to steer clear of the unsanitary practices. read more

Food area jam packed, hmart people all over the store to answer questions and yes i grabbed the HOT POT for $22.99!!!! Also the sweet and sour chicken is delicious cold!! read more

Hard to describe how this H-Mart felt. It felt like it had all the products and features of a normal H-Mart in a suburb, but had like 2,000 square feet less to work with. Makes sense given it's in the heart of Chicago, but the aisles and the common areas definitely felt tighter than usual. Paris Baguette on-site and plenty of Korean grocery items. read more

I have enjoyed H Mart. They have some great food options. The H Mart downtown has a cool, hip vibe to it. I have had fruit from H Mart that I really enjoyed, e.g., plums. They have prepared meals, which was very convenient and helpful for me. They even have an area where you can sit and dine if you would like. They have foods and goods that you may not find elsewhere, e.g., Vita Soy soy milk. They also have amazing-appearing prepared foods, e.g., delicious sushi. Their foods seem to be high quality. They have a lot of staff in case you need help shopping. They have lots of snacks. They also have a parking lot, which helps in downtown Chicago. read more

Awesome. So many cool foods, clean aisles, hard to find products and amazing seafood. The staff is friendly and helpful read more

Very nice asian grocery store. Have been a few times to grab lunch, breakfast and even some groceries. I have been working nearby the last few months and value this store. Inside the store there is produce section, seafood section, meat section, sushi and made foods. In addition to the grocery store there is a bakery and fast food options. The frozen section is extensive also. Lots of favorite Asian snacks, candy and teas available here. Check this place out if nearby. Conveniently located off 90/94 (Adams) with a free parking lot. Some prices were higher than other Asian markets but this right downtown so expected. read more

Good place to find Korean food and ingredients, as I live in NW Indiana and have pretty much nothing Korean there. It's much smaller than what I'm used to in Los Angeles but a good selection nonetheless. Only problem I have is that I'm always freezing my ass off in there. Why is it always so cold? Fix the temp please! read more

Such a gem in the city with a designated parking lot! I was pleasantly surprised by the large selection of Korean and Chinese foods in this medium sized store. I've been to locations in Southern California where it's the size of a regular grocery store. Everything is neatly organized and separately into sections despite the narrow isles. The produce section is decent as well as the refrigerated sweet snacks (cake, rolls and mochi). They also have live seafood in the fish tank! I was able to find some great frozen dumplings and savory pancakes. They also have a great selection of BbQ meat and thinly sliced beef for hot pot. The icing on the cake is literally the French bakery in the front of the store! Features fresh baked buns, breads and pastries that also offer coffee and Boba drinks. Highly recommend this store for all authentic Chinese/Korean groceries! read more

H Mart is a supermarket that specializes in Korean and Asian groceries. They have fresh produce and fresh seafood. Walking in the store was clean and well organized. The produce section was so bright and vibrant. Everything was in place. They have a wide variety of foods, snacks, meats, etc. you name it they got it! There is a section to sit and dine in which is an added bonus. And they have a Paris Baguette located near the front of the store. I can't wait to go back and stock up on my favorite snacks. read more

Our family of four missed our train and had two ours till the next one. H Mart to the rescue!!! It was a short 15-20 min walk from the station and it was a fun way to pass t some time. Everyone got to pick a snack and we ate at the tables near the food court. Lots of great options. One of our kids went for a spam and kimchi rice roll. I ordered the kimchi pancake, others got unique chips and sweets. Lots of ready to eat food items from full meals to snacks and desserts. For a small space they pack a lot in. Huge blessing for anyone who lives nearby read more

I noticed there was an H Mart in between Union Station and the hotel where I was staying, so I started walking. I honestly don't think I've ever been to an H Mart (we don't have them near where I live) but I knew it would be amazing. I didn't buy anything except some ready made food, but I'd love to go back and explore more. I did check the candy/snack aisle and saw some of the items we got in Japan, so that was fun. They have a lot of frozen items, fresh produce, seafood, and more. They also have a little food court area with a few stalls, ready made food (like kimbap, onigiri, sandwiches, sushi, etc.) and a bakery. I grabbed some triangle kimbap and spam musubi. They were both really good and had me feeling nostalgic for Korea and Japan. I'm glad I got to check out H Mart even if I couldn't buy all the things I wanted! read more

Was so excited to finally be able to check this grocery store out! HAD to get these ice cream bars I've been wanting to try forever and they're sooooo good - highly recommend (specifically mango). When I go back I'll be grabbing the peach one to taste. I also got a cream donut that I haven't yet tasted but heard good things about them on TikTok haha Only thing I'd say that made me take away a star is customer service. They don't make you feel too welcomed unfortunately. read more

This Hmart location is a small fraction of the one in Niles, however packs a punch when it comes to essentials. There is enough of a selection that I can easily pick up ingredients to make a quick dinner. I can get in and quickly most of the time if I avoid rush hr and busy periods during the weekend. If no parking is available, I usually just leave and go to park to shop or 88 if I have patience. read more

I love grabbing a quick bite here! Their coconut and aloe water is also such a good deal. I usually grab seaweed salad with a couple spicy crab/tuna onigiri. Unfortunately last time I was here, I noticed they didn't have matcha KitKat anymore :(( please tell there is a restock! read more

They have food here! We got ramen noodles it was a good craving satisfied for a quick meal. read more

It's a good location and has a parking lot. Would recommend coming on a weekday because parking can be chaotic and busy on the weekends. I always find what I need and appreciate the variety in their products. The produce can be a hit or miss with freshness but I generally don't have a problem. They have a food court area towards the front of the building read more

Quality/Quantity - Some interesting never seen before products and food, see pictures. Check out this pink glow pineapple. We got a few drink flavors we have never tried before and some snacks. Korean sushi and fruit. Our go to place for snacks. Good meal kit or ready to eat items. A few restaurants in the food court, etc. Their quality has always been good for us, but the cost reflects it. Atmosphere - Open 7 days a week from 9am to 10pm. Small parking lot. Service - Good. Price - Above average, but you have to pay for quality. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success. We did not expect to see a H Mart in Chicago. Fun facts: The "H" in "H Mart" stands for Han Ah Reum - a Korean phrase meaning "one arm full of groceries." Congrats on being the largest Asian American Supermarket with 84 locations, including international locations in Canada and London, especially from your humble first 1982 store in Queens, NY. read more

Has a wide variety of items and quite an assortment. Cashier wasn't the friendliest but overall a nice place to shop.

I have been to H Mart in Koreatown NYC at least every month for a dozen years but it does not compare to H Mart Chicago-Much cleaner with fresher, better priced items especially meats, seafood & vegetables. The service is friendlier with better technology including having a smart savings card to accumulate points to be used anywhere in the USA. Students also get a 5% discount Monday-Thursday. Lastly it has a Seoul inspired international vibe with co-branding of other Asian eateries in their food court including the stat Paris Baguette. Looks like a great place for Lavazza coffees, ramen and other Asian delights. Looks like a great place for a meal near Union Station! read more

great meat produce and korean snacks however fruit/vegetable produce are spoiled or moldy. Would not buy any fresh produce here.

H Mart is now my favorite Asian store to pickup foreign snacks, baked goods, meat, and fresh produce. The hubby and I have been meaning to stop by so today was our day! It was busy but we did not mind one bit. Plenty of hand sanitizers everywhere for you to use especially near the food court. We were hungry so we decided to stop and eat first before shopping. The husband ordered hot wings and boy they were delicious. I ordered the Buligogi burrito and it was also delicious. My pineapple Boba tea was the perfect pairing for those spicy wings. I will be definitely back to try some more items on the money and to shop K food yummy snacks. read more

After a couple of years of going to other Hmart's in the country, I will have to update my 4 star to 5 star. The quality of this Hmart is great and the food as well. I love my tofu bibibamp and vegetable kimbap from here. I actually came here twice on my last visit to Chicago :) read more

One stop shop for all your Korean food cravings. Fresh produce and meat. Bulgogi packages are convenient and all you need is the bulgogi marinade. So many varieties of Ramen, snacks and dumplings. There's a small food court section but didn't have time to sit and enjoy but next time. There's also the Paris Baguette bakery with savory croquettes, donuts and croissants. Parking is limited but we got lucky and able to find a spot in the private lot. read more

H Mart - Chicago - Love this Sanrio character ramen variety - International Grocery Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Grocery portion is expansive, they have everything you'll need -- at a premium. Competing Asian supermarkets in Chinatown are cheaper, but you pay for the convenience. 88 market is Hmart cleanliness and quality at a lower price. Food court is delicious but expensive and small-ish portions. Their ready-to-eat food is also very expensive. Stick to the grocery section. Ample parking is available and the spots are nice and big. read more

This is a smaller version of the H-Mart locations in the suburbs (my favorite is the one in Niles). There is a smaller selection, but it has all the basics. I also got food from one of the three food stalls. The sushi burrito was yummy. It's a great option for Asian food in the city. read more

TLDR: My favorite grocery store in the city and the best Asian grocer in town, hands down. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's small... But they have frozen durian, natto, kimchi, a lot of my favorite Japanese snacks (including senbei), thinly sliced pork and beef for at-home yakiniku or shabu shabu, AND Asian pears!! I'm a simple girl. I don't ask for a lot. I just want everything I want, ya know? H Mart has a lot of my faves. My bf doesn't understand my obsession with H Mart. The best way I can explain it to him is, it's what Trader Joe's is to white women. Also, they have a parking lot so I can load up my car. Does anyone else pretend to have a big family when they're shopping for snacks? No? (Totally unrelated but can someone loan me their toddler for like 45 min?) I just wish there was another one closer to me! Who am I kidding, I'd be broke if I lived any closer to an H Mart. read more

Love the variety here! It's a great place to not only get your daily essentials but also some good late night snacks. Tried their salmon poke & spicy tuna triangle kimbap--they were a 10/10. read more

Food review will be with sgd dubu so gong! (Restaraunt in food court) I think this is one of the best centers to get popularised korean food. The food court is tight and small but holds most of the things you would crave for and isn't americanised. It has fried chicken, cheese corn dogs, korean cake & bread, sushi and soondubu. The hmart can be a bit pricy, but often has sales on asian veg and fruit. They also tend to have popular items like fire noodles and yogurt drinks, just a very tight space. Overall come here to fulfill your craving of korean food if you are near :). Actually this was the first hmart I've seen to have a spam musubi section which was interesting. The busses in Greek Town ( close by) are often delayed though just FYI. read more

This is not your typical grocery store. This is the place you come to explore and expand your taste buds! This location is very small compared to the H Mart's in any suburban area but that's what makes it great! Sure the selection is slimmer and the aisles are barely passable if several people are looking for the same thing. Yet, this is the location that can introduce you the the vast food varieties that the Asian cultures have to offer without completely overwhelming your senses. Whether you're trying to recreate that amazing hot pot dinner you had, try a new spin on seasoned meats, or just discover a new snack from around the world, you'll find everything you need to do so. Every time I come to this store, it inspires me to think outside the box, make something new, and appreciate culinary cultures. Love this place! And the FRESH KIMCHI! read more

Great to have this well-known Korean grocery store in downtown Chicago! I loved walking around, wandering the aisles, and admiring all the cool specialty items offered. There's a neat seafood area with live fish, sushi, and poke. And I want to buy all of the snacks! Be forewarned that the prices of a lot of items are high. But as such a highly specialized store in the heart of downtown with incredible selection, I'm sure they've got bills to pay. The sheer variety they have of a single item (I counted over 20 brands of sesame oil alone) is astounding. There's also a food court that has some really delicious looking food, including tofu stew, korean barbecue, and Japanese. Definitely worth a visit! There's a dedicated parking lot on the side which was full when I came, but there street out in front was under construction/blocked off and didn't have any warning signs, so I just parked there. read more

Staff at the register always gives me hard time. Dont put the cart on the counter or put your items here or dont put it like this! like seriously?!

And open some self check out!!!! read more
