I love this H Mart. It is, in my opinion, a far superior location than the store in K-Town. This branch is more spacious with offerings beyond groceries, including facial products and kitchenware. The selection in ready-made foods is also more diverse. I was happy to see that they offered meals from BBQ Chicken, a wings restaurant that I enjoy visiting on 34th street. But I wanted to try something else today, so I purchased the fried chicken bowl. For $12.99, this meal offered great value. It was filled to the brim, with generous amounts of chicken breast. The meat itself was substantial, with a fair amount of breading-to-chicken ratio. There was enough, if not more, bites of chicken than there was rice, and even the rice itself wasn't just mere fluff to fill its container. On top of the rice was a layer of sautéed onions and mushrooms. This was a hearty bowl indeed and well worth the price. My husband ordered the spam kimbap served cold. Although good, I found that this roll didn't have a hero flavor and was bland overall. I wish it contained something like kimchi to add a bit of zing to each bite. Still, I find the food offerings here to be quite good and would certainly come here again to try their other hot meals. read more

I love H Mart! There is no better selection of Korean delectables, including ready-made meals, packaged goods, drinks, pastries, candies, and whatever else. K-Pop is always playing, and you can't help but be happy while shopping there. Sometimes. One thing that makes the shopping experience less than a joy is the lurking presence, everywhere you turn, of the H Mart security guards. The Upper West Side branch has groups of guards whose bad vibe is palpable as they follow customers up and down the aisles eyeballing everyone, frequently with challenging looks. I can't speak to H Mart's perceived need for this level of security, but unless they are selling mochis stuffed with diamonds, it seems excessive. There is a little less intrusive presence in the K-Town branch and a recent visit to Edison, NJ was not as bad. But man, oh man, the security at that Upper West Side branch exudes as much warmth and shopping comfort as a holding pen at Rikers. I hope H Mart could find a happy solution to this issue. read more

2/27 Needed to purchase Kimchi! I'm sure there are homemade options that can be purchased at a restaurant, just not sure which locations. H Mart is my favorite grocery store to buy items that are not usually sold in Western markets like Gobo (Burdock root), and other items that are staples in my kitchen such as kelp, Nori, and certain mushrooms I cook to replace meat. The service at all locations is always wonderful. What impressed me is the security staff know where to find hard to find products. The cashiers, and check out is fast, friendly, and the prices are great! read more

I love this H Mart because I can do a quick 2 stop grocery run with Trader Joe's just a block away. I come here for my Asian produce, and I appreciate that it's never too crowded, clean, and well maintained. I also love that they always stock BBQ's spicy wings, which the 110th Street location never seems to have. The only downside is that H Mart has stopped carrying many Korean brands I always look for. For example, the selection of red pepper powder, a staple in Korean cooking, is very limited. I wish they would offer both Korean brands and US made alternatives for all items, giving customers more choices. read more

Yeah it's "cute" in there I guess, but that's about the only positive. There is absolutely NO space to move around. The aisles are so tight you're basically forced to pace back and forth like you're in a maze. What really killed the experience though was the staff. After I read some of the reviews and noticed how low they were, it suddenly made sense because employees were lowkey following me around the store and giving me weird looks the entire time. Super uncomfortable, super unnecessary, and honestly felt shady. Shopping should not feel like you're being watched or profiled for just existing. Between the cramped layout and the awkward, hostile vibes, it turned what could've been a quick stop into something I couldn't wait to leave. read more

Expensive just like everything else in the city lol I was trying to find the canned tuna to compare prices back home and these are like 2x the price. If I lived in the city I'd still shop here though for Asian goodies because it has mostly everything you could need for making Asian dishes. Rather diverse and spacious for a city store. If you go in the evenings the hot food is like 30-50% off!!!! read more

I found the staff very helpful and the selections good. I found the bitter melon tea I was looking for as well as kimchi without sugar in it. The store is clean and spacious. Wheelchair accessible. read more

Delighted to have H Mart in the area! As other reviewers have said, they have great products including Ice cups and drinks which is so nice in the hot weather. My favorite items include the bulgogi onigiri. HBAF almonds, rice crackers and today I tried the BBQ boneless chicken which was very fresh and crispy. Great place to stop for snacks and drinks. I did buy some produce but found it to be expensive. They did have reasonably priced eggs and if you shop the manager's specials which rotate frequently you will do well. read more

This H-Mart is extremely racist in my opinion. I would avoid giving them money unless you're okay with that. This review is my story, but there are other reviews detailing similar experiences, so this is not a one off thing. I came to this store with my friend. We wanted to pick out lunch and some snacks. From the moment we came in it felt like the security guard was hovering around us the entire time, everywhere we went. It was very unwelcoming but I decided to brush it off initially. After picking up snacks, I split up with my friend so I could pick out one of the meals on the hot-shelfs. Once I was alone, the security guard who had been following me for some time now came up to me and said: "I think I saw you put something in your pocket, did you bring that in or is that from the store..." I was shocked. I had not put anything in my pockets the entire time I was there, so he was full of shit and basically making something up a reason to accuse me of theft. Stalking me around the store was annoying but I could tolerate it. Accusing me of theft without any basis was another. I began to press him "what did you see me take" "what are you talking about" he refused to respond. At this point I knew he was full of it. I got upset and decided to get the manager involved. The manager's response was extremely disappointing to say the least. He had the security guard tell his version of the story. The security guard lied and said he asked me about an item in my friend's cart he wasn't sure came from the store. Firstly that was a lie, but it also made no sense logically: a) Why wouldn't he ask my friend about the item b) The item was a large bag of popcorn that could not have been inconspicuously brought it c)If he knew about the popcorn then he must have seen my friend put it in the cart meaning he knew it was from the store. Because after my friend put it in the cart we temporarily split up. I called out the security guard for lying and the manager seemed not to care. At one point the manager said it was my fault I got accused of stealing because I was walking around the store without a shopping basket (???). Of course many other people were doing this so it made no sense. At this point I suspected the manager was in on it, so I decided to give up on getting any justice and leave. Very disappointing customer service by H-mart. On my way out, another security guard came up to me and said the first security guard was not racist and that black people came to the store all the time. This was hilarious because I actually never accused the first security guard of being racist, I only said I was pissed that he made up a story to accuse me of stealing. It felt like the second security was telling on himself while trying to defend the first one. In the end I bought my food cause I was hungry but boy did I regret it. I couldn't even enjoy my meal afterwards from thinking about the ordeal. I will never shop at this H-mart ever again, and really this has soured my views on H-mart as a whole now. As I said in the beginning I would not give these people your money. I have attached a photo of the troubling employee in question. -- This is a side note but apparently employee(s) in the store make unwanted advances on women shopping here based on another review. Seriously, does H-Mart not care at all about hiring employees with integrity??? read more

Visited this H Mart for some groceries and some Asian snacks. Unfortunately, the produce selection is not huge, not compared to Whole Foods for example, and is quite pricey. They also have very limited organic products. I wouldn't recommend going to produce. This H Mart does have a decent selection of Asian snacks, but the prices are higher than the Asian grocery delivery service Weee!, which has mostly similar products. Overall, I won't be going to H Mart for my regular groceries and produce, but if I'm needing tofu or ramen in a pinch, this is the spot. read more

Security guards were obnoxious. This location is in a good neighborhood so I really wasnt expecting the experience I was met with. I kept having unnecessary interactions with them. Similar to these reviews, I came with a friend who was also followed at every isle and was the only person given a basket to, despite only having one item. I on the other hand carried 5 items without being given a basket. I made a mental note of everybody else in the store who didnt have baskets with more items as well. And there were a lot! If you are a person of color this is not the location to shop. I saw another review by an Asian person, Andrew Chen, who said suggesting racial profiling is "pure comedy" because the guards are Black or Latino. As an Asian woman myself i find this disappointing and ignorant. Ones bias doesn't just disappear because the person enforcing it is also a person of color. Anyone can profile. Internalized stereotypes are real, and so is selective treatment. This is a topic that is extremely well documented. I hope Andrew does research before commenting on other peoples experience. The issue isn't what race the guards are. It's the behavior. If a certain group of customers are being followed, singled out, or asked unnecessary questions while others aren't, that's the problem. read more

They racially profile customers and even beside that, there are so many security guards for such a small area like they will watch every foot print you take. It makes the shopping experience terrible because you can't even thinking about what you want or pause for a moment or they will surround you. They dont treat people as paying customers and have the assumption that everybody is a criminal. The food would be ok if the experience wasn't so condescending. If you really want to go to Hmart go to the other locations or support your local asian supermarkets read more

I posted a review on google but I know they have a pattern of deleting those. I've been to this location twice, and both times I've been racially profiled and followed around by security. I've lived in this neighborhood my entire life, and I have never been made to feel so unwelcome. This made me so uncomfortable, especially as a young woman, to be harassed and followed around by two large men. I never share reviews but after seeing how they continue to treat other Black people this way, I feel that it's important that people know about the establishment that they are giving their money to. read more

Thumbs up for bento box grab and go during lunch, skip the grocery as it is overpriced and not worth it. Love the options from onigiris, kbbq fried chicken, bento boxes, soup, sushi, etc. the varieties are great. They also have a great snack and ice cream selection. My favorite thus far are fried chicken and bento boxes - especially spicy bulgogi. They also have instant noodles if you're craving for it. I wish they had a fresh oden or soup noodle option especially for the winter period. read more

H MART HAS POUCH DRINKS AND ICE CUPS!! You know the ones you see in Korean convenience store videos? Yeah, well H Mart's got 'em, along with ice cups (in case you didn't read my first sentence). We got a few pouches, and so far, the Cantabile Peach Iced Tea and Green Grape Ade are my favorites. They're so fruity and refreshing, a tad on the sweeter side, but perfect if you dilute with a bit of water or let the ice melt for a while. I can't wait to try the rest of the flavors!

zero stars of i could. security is obnoxious. they'll follow you around even if you had 1K strapped to your clothes and another 5K in ya mouth. came in here after WORK (around when the schools let out). my fault for looking like a high schooler (i did have a work bag that's like a backpack so ig i did look younger) but i said hello to the security guy when i entered as any normal person would. headed to the sushi section lookin at sushi and the same dude is literally 5 feet away from me just staring at me. I turned and i started getting red because why are you staring me down?! Went to another isle to get SOYSAUCE, his lil friend started following me. turn another isle, ANOTHER DUDE STARING AT ME. They really do just follow you around if you have a bag or if you're brown. which is funny bc they're all brown too. Like im an asian woman in an asian market, what do you think im doing here... I got fed up pretty quick and went to the cashier and handed them my book bag and said "can you guys just hold this up here, i'm being followed by your security so just hold my bag." Right after that i turned around and they all dispersed. I get it, it's by a high school, im sure a lot of kids come in here so i get it, they think they're doing their job. but what i dont get is that they have like 20 huge high res security screens at the front with a dude watching them there too . i really ever only come in here if it's an emergency now because they'll make you feel like a criminal pretty quick. pathetic and sad. cashiers are always nice tho i guess. read more

I love h-mart, frequented the 110 st and k-town and NYU locations. However some of their prices seems crazily high! For example: Hikari Organic Miso white 17.6 oz is $14.99 but the exact same item is only $7.45 at an East side Japanese supermarket! Why is it more than double the price at K-mart? Another complain, specific to the 110th street location, their hot bowls like kimchi fried rice, while reasonably priced and tasty, sit on heated metal shelves at rather hot to the touch temperature, for hours but in a plastic container. Isn't plastic and prolonged heat bad for our health? I stopped buying their hot bowls since they started to put them on those hot metal shelves. I sure hope they don't do this at the new 69th street location. Also the selection of Asian popsicles and also other snacks for now is a bit less compared to the 110th st store. I hope they improve over time. read more

Creepy security guards that try to flirt with you while you shop. 110th location is way better because you don't have to deal with that.

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE DARK SKIN (NO MATTER WHAT ETHNICITY YOU ARE, YOU WILL BE TARGETED AND FOLLOWED AS A RESULT OF YOUR SKIN COLOR AND RACIAL PROFILING. **As a disclaimer, I would like to point out that this is the first time I have ever written a review about an establishment of this type. My general approach to life is to keep my head down, go to work, and come home. I do not look for trouble in any form whatsoever. ** On my first visit to this place, a co-worker requested that I accompany them to purchase lunch. While shopping around, one of my coworkers asked me, "Are we being followed?" I am a person who does not enjoy trouble, I keep to myself, and I dislike confrontation at all costs. As I replied to him, "Eh, I'm not sure, just keep shopping," I could not help but notice that we WERE being followed by the security guard...every aisle we walked through we saw him. For the record, the security guard is a tall, semi-heavy set black man of African or Caribbean descent with dark skin, similar to my own. He typically wears a beanie as well. After initially giving HMART the benefit of the doubt (which I should not have done since I know better) I went a second (a few weeks ago) and third time (TODAY). The same thing happened with the same security guard and today time there was another black security guard who was following me while the original one (tall guy with the beanie -- was watching me from the monitor). In their mind, "Black skin = you are going to steal from this establishment, so we are going to follow you around so that you do not steal." This review has been written because I am horrified and offended by this type of behavior from the black security guards at HMART on 72nd Street. I believe it is more than likely that HMART is enforcing these policies on the security guards in an effort to target exactly the people who look like them (the security guards) Which I find extremely offensive and troubling. I am horrified and offended to say the least. These individuals have NO CLUE who I am and what I do and the fact that we are still facing these types of situations, especially from our own kind, in 2025 is baffling, pathetic, and extremely offensive. But no worries, I will make it my business to tell the individuals in my network not to spend a dime here. Oh and best believe our dollars are long. In the event that you continue to come here after reading this review, you're on your own. It is evident that this is a place intended only for the Koreans and whites passing individuals! read more

I was excited about an H-Mart opening closer to me. As with the 110th street location, prices are a little inflated, but the selection of unique Korean goods is varied and I love the produce section. I was also tickled by their selection of pouch drinks and ice cups, including zero sugar options. That said... they need to work things out staff-wise. I had a strange interaction where I was hovered over and micro-managed while using the self-service checkout. This included being critiqued on my scanning technique and being told I should have just gone over to a human cashier. Why offer self-checkout as an option then...? This unpleasant and semi-aggressive exchange makes me not want to return any time soon, if ever. read more

BEWARE! We just purchased these well before the expiry. They are putrid. My daughter took a bite and complained. Then we confirmed.

We have been eagerly awaiting the opening of this H Mary but can no longer return. Completely unacceptable read more

I had the weirdest experience. I'm not sure if it was racist. I might just take my business to the Gracefully market on West End Avenue. This was my first time making a purchase and I decided to use self checkout. One of the cashiers tries to call me over to her checkout lane because she wants me to checkout with her. I tell her I want to use self checkout and she replies it's for 5 items or less. I physically count out to her that I have 5 items. That annoyed me. Why have self checkout if you won't let people use it? I'm sure it was just if of trying to be helpful, but it just came off as aggressive. Like another reviewer wrote, I was also hovered at checkout by the cashier who tried to call me over. I don't know why because there were other people on line and the other cashiers were busy. Yes, she closed her checkout lane so she could monitor me. I do understand that lots of stores have an employee monitor self checkout, but it's real weird that 1) she was doing double duty maybe and 2) I was treated like I was illiterate (I saw the 5 items or less sign and I only had 5 items). I felt it was racist because physically I don't present as East Asian even though I am 50% East Asian. I do wonder if this exchange would have happened if I looked more Asian. I don't know if I'd come back here after that. I was really excited about having this store in the neighborhood. read more

Prejudice? Discriminatory? I went with my mom and we're both latinas. Realized half way through that the security guard was following us around, popping up out the aisles to stare at us.

Starting with the positives, they are well organized and have a lot of selection to choose from. Pretty clean as well. Unfortunately I have been there twice and both times the security guard who is Black hovers and stalks any customer who is Black. Both times I went the store was pretty packed with all types of people but he specifically hovered over the Black customers. He left everyone else alone. I actually think he is told to do that. I am not sure what is going on but in 2024 and in NYC this is unacceptable behavior. read more

I recently visited this H Mart location and was excited to explore the vast selection of Asian groceries. The store's layout was well-organized, making it easy to navigate the aisles and find what I needed.

I'm very happy to have Hmart so close to where I live, saving me trips to NJ or K-town. It's a pretty small space but it has the basics, at very high prices by the way. My biggest gripe is that the security are overzealous and that's a turn off. read more

The security guard followed me and my sister from the moment that we walked. And he did so without even trying to hide it. I felt extremely uncomfortable to see him at every aisle watching me straight on like I were a thief. When going up to the counter to pay before even getting the chance to, he told me to empty my pocket in front of everyone there. I never even received an apology after showing that I had no store merchandise in my pockets. Completely humiliating experience! read more

EXTREMELY racist security. Do not come here if you are black. I've been here twice and both times, security has stalked me around the store. I've never had an issue at any other grocery store on the upper west side. The security is so ridiculous that both times they've hovered so close to me (AT CHECKOUT, mind you) that I've had to tell them to back away from me. Overall just a jarring and uncomfortable experience to be racially profiled while GROCERY SHOPPING of all things. read more

Sorry, but I was disappointed after such anticipation. I would say that 75-80% of the items sold do not have English on the packaging, so I have no idea what delicious things might be for sale. They need to give tours to those unfamiliar with their Asian products (almost all of the employees appear to be Hispanic, so I think they will need some time to get up to speed with their products). Check out staff were friendly and helpful. read more
