Pre made food
Sejin C.

If you're looking for Korean food or you're craving Korean groceries, I highly recommend coming here! I've lived in Irvine for over 20 years and have been to most of the Korean markets throughout Orange County, and I honestly think this is the most affordable H Mart location I've been to. Did you know that prices can vary quite a bit between H Mart locations, even within Irvine? The prices here are so affordable that it almost feels like they're still using prices from 10 years ago. I'm honestly amazed every time I come here. Even snacks are often only around $2 a bag, and so many of the food items are priced so low that you find yourself thinking, "Wait... is this really the price?" And if you come around dinner time and some of the prepared foods get those discount stickers put on them?? You can buy enough food to last several days for what you might spend on just ONE meal at a restaurant. Of course, the freshness may not be exactly the same as eating at a restaurant, but honestly, if you heat everything up nicely at home, I might actually be happier eating it at home! I'm not going to specifically comment on the friendliness of the staff because there are a lot of employees and everyone's experience can be different. I've never personally had a bad experience, but I also wouldn't say I've had an experience where I thought, "Wow, everyone here is SUPER friendly!" I mean... it's a grocery store, right? But when it comes to the prices, this place is REALLY hard to beat. I especially recommend checking out the prepared meals and ready-to-eat lunch boxes. They're affordable, convenient, and honestly such a great deal!

Hot Sweet Potato or Purple Yam (my favorite)
Jenny C.

Visited H Mart, but the experience still feels a bit inconsistent, from one location to another. This location located in the Diamond - Alton Plaza is crowded (maybe because it shares the same area with a lot of trending businesses). That said, I absolutely love the incredible variety of Korean products--they have an amazing selection of beef, rice noodles (Tteokbokki), and so many other essentials produce. I'm always impressed by their hot food section, and the cooked purple yam treats are a favorite. I always have to buy a bag (sold by weight). Overall, a solid supermarket but comparable a bit pricey than another Korean supermarket in Westminster and Diamond Bar.

Watch out for the overcharged items.  They charged white peach that I didn't bought

H-Mart used to feel like a store that had everything. Now the shelves still look full, but the quality is disappointing, especially for the prices they charge. Produce is one of the biggest problems. Cucumbers look green, crisp, firm, and juicy, but sometimes taste bitter with an unpleasant, moldy smell. Peaches, apples, and pears can look beautiful outside, yet turn out mushy, rotten, or spoiled inside. At $1-$2+ per fruit, I expect much better. Tofu is another disappointment. It looks like tofu but has almost no soybean taste or aroma, and sometimes even firm tofu has a texture similar to soft tofu. I've tried different brands, organic and non-organic, with similar results. Perilla leaves are the same--little fragrance or flavor. Mushrooms, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes are also disappointing. Tomatoes can look perfect but have almost zero flavor--not sweet, not sour, just thick skin. Bitter melon, eggplant, and nagaimo are often mushy inside vacuum packages, and sometimes you flip the package over and find spoilage. The meat department is inconsistent too. Pork belly can be almost all fat or all lean, and sometimes smells bad after opening. I've spent around $30 on pork ribs that looked very desirable in the package, only to discover an unpleasant, rotten smell at home. The lack of quality control extends to their grains as well. My worst experience was an unexpired bag of barley. The top layer looked completely normal, but after pouring the entire bag into a jar, I discovered extensive brown, mold-like growth underneath. I had already been eating from the bag for weeks because there was no visible problem at the top. Finding that much apparent mold hidden inside an unexpired product seriously damaged my confidence in H Mart's food quality and safety control. Service is also hit or miss, especially at the fish counter. Employees can seem impatient when you ask for particular sizes or buy several different types of fish. Sometimes you get a friendly employee, but it feels like hitting the jackpot. I also made three visits over two months trying to fix a points-transfer problem. A manager told me the points would appear after a few days. Two months later, I still don't see them on either card. Three visits for something this simple, with no resolution, is frustrating. Snack products where I couldn't find clear expiration/best-by dates. The packaging is also ridiculously large. Many vegetables come in family-sized packs, making it hard to buy a variety. One pack of bok choy can last all week and still not be finished. Buy a few different vegetables and there's no room to store them--and they often spoil before you can finish them. For a store charging premium prices, I expect better quality control and service. Full shelves don't mean much when I repeatedly encounter spoiled produce, bland ingredients, questionable meat, moldy grain, and customer-service problems. Things may look fresh on the shelf, but looking fresh and actually being fresh are two very different things.

I can't believe I got some shumai from h mart!! It was so tasty. All shrimp flavored, so a great protein, but also completely balanced carbs and of course, delicious. You can ask the cashier for chopsticks, or warm up your food so it's ready to eat. They have a food court to enjoy your meal after paying, I've just never seen shumai and I highly recommend it from here!! They make it fresh. Craving this again now!

This is a pretty standard H Mart with lots of Korean products, which are so unique! It's very clean! Parking was pretty busy but we found parking easily. Service was very friendly and courteous.

Love browsing through H Mart. It is always clean, nicely organized, and you will find the most tempting snacks ever. They are a bit on the pricey side, but there are couple items I need to get routinely there. Ramen, kimchi, minced garlic, rice, and whatever else catches the eye during my visit. I especially love their produce, meat, and seafood items. Meat is a bit pricey, but quality is good. You will never guess how many ramen varieties there are until you visit a Korean market. They also have many delicious drinks there. I always end up getting boba or teas for my daughter. Other than grocery items, they have pre-made foods ready to eat. Also, very random, but I love getting dishwashing sponges there. Parking can sometimes get busy, but if you go first thing in the morning, it is pretty much empty. Great place to do monthly Korean grocery.

This is one of the nicer H Marts I've been to! Really clean, big space, this location has everything you could want from produce to packaged foods, to fresh foods for a meal/snack. Skip the other Alton location closer to DJ and come to this spot is my recommendation for sure

Enrique D.

One of the bigger h marts around, this one has a bigger feel to it compared to other hmarts like the one in Chino hills. Ambiance wise, it's pretty clean and well lighted. The place has tons of parking. In terms of food, there's a lot of cooked items, instant items/ prepped items/ ready to cook items.... Service is pretty straight forward. Nothing special. Dont forget to get their member card so that you get some discounts. Ultimately, pretty good quality but a bit pricey. They also have a pretty good food court.

Food court
Cecille L.

This is probably one of the prettiest and biggest H Mart I've gone to in So Cal.. It has a big food court with a good handful of awesome eateries and a Tous de Jour bakery. . There's lots of fresh produce, seafood, meat and packaged items. Price point is good, IF you signed up to be a member. So I recommend you signing up for their rewards program to get better pricing .

Willie L.

This store is on my way home for me to pick groceries. The store Ahmad a good selection of Asian ingredients. The staff is always restocking the store and keeping the store clean. A few sample stations are also available, I got to try some Korean pear and kalbi.

While I was checking out, the cashier refused to help bag my groceries, even though I had opened my bags and was unable to both unload items onto the register and bag them at the same time. She told me, "I'm only a cashier, not a bagger," and left the items on top of my bags. In my experience, this is the only store where cashiers refuse to assist with basic bagging responsibilities. I always treat employees with respect and do not expect special treatment, but customers should also be treated with courtesy and professionalism. Unfortunately, after today, I will no longer shop here. There are other stores with good prices that provide much better customer service and respect their customers. For management's reference, basic cashier responsibilities include: * Safely and efficiently bagging customer purchases * Organizing heavy and fragile items appropriately * Separating raw meat, food, and cleaning chemicals * Considering customer preferences * Providing efficient and courteous service Management should address this issue and ensure that customer service standards are consistently followed.

There is a bakery and food court located inside, and they also have an art box where you can find all the cute Korean stationary and knickknacks. They have so much inventory, and much like the other locations they're placed everywhere which can either make your shopping convenient or difficult lol I will say that they have a pretty good premade food section and towards the end of the night when things go on sale, they mark things down at 50% as opposed to other locations where they do the buy one get one free. They keep all of their hot food in a dedicated warming cabinet, and you can commonly find some great cooked, ready to eat fish there. It's also located right in between a Ross and a Marshalls so that might be a bonus if you're prone to browse those stores like I am lol Also, I want to mention that their customer service is always on point when it comes to their cashiers. During my recent visit, I purchased cookies that were deceivingly named Ktown bake shop, and they looked delicious, but once I got them home, I tried one and it was so stale that I had to bring them back, and even though I had opened them when I explained to them that they were near in edible they happily granted my refund. Pro tip: nowadays everything's titled as if it's made in Korea, but, always check. The cookies that I bought were in fact, not made in Korea or a product of Korea, which I believe is why they were so subpar.

As we were waiting in the checkout line to finish our purchase, a non-Asian guy behind us tried to get my buddy to buy his drink for him. My buddy said no and the non-Asian guy said it was a joke. He then proceeded to being racist and called my buddy Chinese as an assumption. He then made remarks about China. My buddy told him to not be racist and the non-Asian guy got defensive and started shouting profanity at him. Afterward, we left H-Mart and he continued to follow us for a bit and continued to argue with my buddy (stalking and verbal harassment). His action proves that he was drunk, racist, and violent. I do not recommend going to this H-Mart as an Asian girl. Because if a non-Asian guy can do that to an Asian guy, he can do that to anyone. H-Mart needs to teach their employees to intervene rather than be bystanders. Otherwise, they need to hire security.

Also, the discounted meat that typically has the yellow tag to indicate clearance looked a little bit suspect, as it was significantly more brown then the rest of the ground meat in the cooler section. The Jamboree location will often have yellow tagged meat but it always looks little to no different than the regular priced meats (with the obvious caveat that the best by purchase date is approaching quickly). The store itself is very clean and I thought it was interesting that the bathroom requires a code to enter. The selection is good and the Sprouts rewards helps provide a little kickback if you plan to continue shopping here. The self checkout section is quite convenient as it's really easy to search for your produce items if the produce itself does not include a label (also there's no confusion on which type of produce is selected since they have a limited selection, for example two kinds of garlic). Would certainly return here for my grocery needs!

The selection didn't seem nearly as appealing or extensive as what I've found at the Torrance location. I ended up picking up a few things, but was surprised to find that they were more expensive than similar items at another Japanese grocery store in the area, which I visited afterward. Overall, I'd choose the Torrance location over Irvine based on this visit. The Irvine store just didn't have the selection, atmosphere, or value I've come to expect from Mitsuwa.

I understand stores get busy, but this feels more like a General Management issue than a staffing issue. When operations are consistently backed up and disorganized, that responsibility falls on leadership. A good manager steps in, rolls up their sleeves, and helps get things back on track. If you're ordering delivery or planning a pickup, I'd strongly recommend choosing another Albertsons or a nearby Ralphs instead. This location seems to struggle with basic order management, and unfortunately it shows.
