Decent selection of Asian and especially Korean goods. However, this place is significantly more expensive than the mostly-Vietnamese Asian supermarkets in South Philly. Also, the cashiers can be way unfriendly if you're not Korean. Yesterday, the cashier we had barely looked at my non-Korean friends let alone said a word to them while ringing them up, and did not even respond when one asked for change in quarters for a dollar. However, he was all smiles and sunshine to the Korean girl behind us (and she wasn't even cute). I know cashiers in Asian supermarkets aren't exactly known for their congeniality, but that, my friends, is called racism. Check out the Korean food court upstairs though, it's pretty good. read more

Definitely the better of the two Philly H-Marts. But sadly, much much worse than Atlanta's amazing H-Marts. Good produce, but their meat selection is awful. Would go here for my asian food needs, but only out of desperation. Their food court is great though. Pretty tasty and fairly priced. read more

Love this Establishment---I go in here and lose my mind---I WANT EVERYTHING!!!! Always taking home some type of Dumplings!!! Like their meat prices too!! read more

I would never have gone myself unless I was with mommy dearest who was visiting from the Bay Area. As someone mentioned, the route to this korean market was pretty grim, but when you arrive, you actually feel like you are in Korea. This market has everything a lover of Korean food dreams of - from fresh veggies/korean fruits (korean melon, pear, grapes) and prepared banchan, duk, every single kind of kimchee/radish and pre-made stews up the wazoo to frozen and cold goodies such as duk gook/duk bokee duk (various kinds at that!), kal gook soo noodles, etc. I can go on. Let's just say that I haven't seen a place like this since I've been in Korea or Los Angeles. I just didn't expect to find one in Upper Darby of all places! read more

Coming from West Philadelphia, this is definitely the go-to-place for anything Korean, and is super close walking distance from the last stop on the el. It is complete with a food court and small household appliance store upstairs. Kimchi is a bit expensive, but I really have no clue where else to go. read more

Thai Trinity ingredients are often here: Galangal Root, Lemon Grass, Kaffir Lime Leaves. Pan-Asian, the Pacific Rim and Europe's influence are on these shelves. Fresh Fish swim in the Tanks below the display case. Shrimp still have their heads, this makes for great flavor. Offal is either frozen or fresh and a big seller. Durian Fruit, that smelly, sweat-sock tasting fruit is sold fresh in a mesh bag; to avoid the pieces from going to hard to get places if dropped. DON'T do that! Korean and Korean-Chinese influence is the main stay to the H-Marts, do not forget the Food Court upstairs. It is not a Kosher Establishment; Pork Products are well represented, Pork is King!! Meat and Dairy mix in the Prep and Presentation of your plate. Sushi is made fresh and the supplier for the Sushi in the display case downstairs. I have rarely eaten in, taking what i buy out; so i do not know if the baked goods are made in-house; but they are tasty. The H-Mart supplies you with the tools needed to Prep and Cook your Meals, those mini-grills/stoves with gas are here. There has never been a price check or a " what is that ? " for as long as i have shopped here. The Ladies at the Registers know their stuff. They are no none sense; you will never see texting or cell phone use here. There is a 'Regulars Time' shopping here and they are fun to watch as they go about their busness. You and i will never be in that group. The H-Mart, shopping out of necessity or for that Asian Food Fix! read more

Love it here. This market has TONS of fresh fruits and veggies that are hard to find in American supermarkets like yama-imo and garlic chives. Plus there's a huge assortment of Asian frozen goods, dry goods, snacks, drinks, premade foods, etc. They don't carry liquor but there's also a large seafood counter and a large assortment of meat-related things in the butcher area. While I don't buy meat for myself, I do from time to time indulge the pups with their biologically appropriate raw food (BARF) diets and buy them some whole cornish game hen, and raw meaty bones on which to clean their teeth. I wonder if I can get green tripe here. The prices are also cheap here, and they do carry a lot of Asian novelty items like pocky, green tea cakes, pocari sweat, etc etc. I used to live much closer to the H-mart in Cherry Hill, and between these two stores, the CH one is bigger and also cleaner. Still, this place is great. Also, the 2nd floor has a bunch of korean/asian "fast food" type restaurants with a sitting area. read more

My family has been coming here since we first stepped off of a plane some 20 years ago, and it is still as good as it was then. The produce is inexpensive and fresh, and you can get quality seafood that you won't find in other South Philly and NE Philly asian supermarkets. This isn't as clean or organized as Assi, but the prices are great and the food court upstairs is a nice addition. Never saw uni here, unfortunately. They now validate parking for the lot on the adjacent street so that's no longer an issue. If you live in the city and don't feel like driving to North Wales, then I would come here, for sure. read more

Cheap, fast, tasty Korean dishes at the food court upstairs. There are large pictures and numbers for all of the dishes just in case you don't speak Korean. Averages $8 for food and drink. read more

Located right at the end of the El at 69th St Station, H Mart is a Korean supermarket complete with a food court and various Korean shops (including a hair salon). I come here for all my Asian food needs. Although they're lacking some Chinese food items (understandably), it gets the job done. It feels and looks cleaner than Chinatown markets too. Upstairs there's a fair selection of Korean food joints. Not the best stuff I've tasted, but you can't beat the convenience. Go shopping, then go eating. Always makes for a good cheap date idea! (yeah, you probably shouldn't date me). If you drive, there's a lot right across the street that always has spots free. read more

Before today I would have rated the Cheltenham location of this grocery store at three or four stars. But today I purchased a prepared seafood item I opened as soon as I arrived at home to indulge myself for lunch, only to find that it had a bitter taste and seemed dry. To be fair, I gave it a stir in the sauce another time, just in case the sweet sauce had settled. It still tasted off. I looked at the "sell by" date and found it to be four (4!) days over. I'm still shaking my head an hour later. It was not worth my time to take it back, but it is worth my time to rate this location on Yelp because I can't tell you how outrageous I think a mistake of this sort is. It is not that someone made an hones mistake. This item sat at the top of a stack of similar items, which means that someone put it there to be sold first and had to know how long it had been sitting in the refrigerator case. In the same trip, I purchased fruit, some of which was very good. But the most expensive item was on the edge of spoiled as well. Typically I buy jars and cans of things in this store. Sometimes I will buy fruit or vegetables to use immediately, with the knowledge that it is likely to be less up to date than Acme or Whole Foods and of lower quality. It is the only place to purchase some of the preserved items I enjoy, so I will likely return. But I'm very unlikely to purchase prepared food there again, unless its supposed to be rotten -- like Kim Chi. Let the buyer beware. read more

Gangnam Style joke. Alright now that's out of the way, I can move on to talk about H Mart. With high quality produce at laughably low prices, there's no reason not to do an immense amount of grocery shopping here. In addition to the grocery store, they've got a great food court and a fantastic cookware selection upstairs. The woman who helped me pick a wok was the sweetest lady I've seen in days. read more

Went here yesterday and out of the four H mart's (Fort Lee area, Elkins Park, Cherry Hill and Upper Darby) I've been to, this is my least favorite. My main issues with this place are: The aisles are too small. They only have enough room for 2 shopping carts side by side, thus you can go only one direction and hardly have enough room for a u-turn and on top of that, if you stop to get some products, you will end up causing everyone behind you to stop. Too many ramps inside the super market made it difficult for my old weak mom to push the shopping cart up the ramp. We should've started at the right side of the supermarket instead of the left which has all the produce. Why would the supermarket geniuses lay it out this way? When putting my shopping bags into my car, there were homeless people all over the place and I was bombarded with them coming up to me asking for money. I parked in front of the main door entrance. It would be nice to have an H Mart staff member shooing away these people. More sh!t I don't need to be dealing with. Good thing I told my wife to go to up the food courts with mom to hang out. The food courts were nothing impressive though it sure does look more modern than the Elkins Park food courts. I think the selection is similar in regards to what they offer. The bakery at Elkins Park and Fort Lee area both have Paris Baguette and the one in Cherry Hill is also very delicious. Unfortunately the bakery here at Upper Darby was closed (guess they close on Sunday?) so all I can say is that I think they should be open. No reason to close on a weekend. I had sushi at Tomo sushi and it was not good - some of the fish had a fishy aftertaste. The nigiri structure were inconsistent, fish got warm way too fast on some of the nigiri, and I thought to change my order after I placed my order and paid, but the chef said "You already placed your order" even though he didn't start on my order at all. WTF? As for positives on this place, I'd say the decor is a step above and the selection is what I would expect at any H Mart. I won't be coming back because the time/distance to drive here is about the same as Elkins Park for me. I'd rather go to Elkins Park with the items above I don't have to worry about. read more

I used to live in Seoul and H Mart is a welcome trip down memory lane. Koreans tend to have much higher standards for cleanliness than your average Philadelphia business owner so everything is organized and spotless. With their variety of Asian favorites and a stock of ajummas working the sample carts, it's a welcome teleport out of West Philly. Their produce is so much better than what you find at the Fro Gro, it's worth the drive from University City. Go upstairs and have lunch while you're at it. It's cheaper and generally better than what you'll find at Korean restaurants downtown and you can get just about anything. read more

This review is for the food court on the 2nd floor. I've been there many times and it's a great cheap place for Korean food (my fav is the Korean counter next to the window). There's 5 counters in total: two Korean, one Chinese, one Japanese, one Korean bakery. Being that there's no Korean/Chinese food near Villanova, this is a great alternative to going into Philly. The food is inconsistent, but you get what you pay for. The market itself is a nice Asian mart that is much needed for the area. read more

If you like food, this place will bring tears to your eyes. Fresh cactus stems ("leaves"), banana flowers, and lots of fruit that you can't pronounce. Meats are fabulous. I always buy the frozen, barbecued eel (for sushi), and then impulse shop until my cart starts to break. As of today, they also have sushi-grade fish (see photos). Make sure to come hungry, and eat upstairs -- I highly recommend the Korean soups. read more

I love the restaurants that are in the top floor of the grocery store. The food is decently priced and is VERY good Korean food. There is just the right level of spiciness to it, and the portion size is spectacular. I also enjoy the mini food court style of seating, and the casual atmosphere. I would totally recommend everyone in the area to try the place out! read more

H Mart - Upper Darby - Marinated beef I ordered from one of the restaurants. Love the small side dishes! - Grocery Near Me - Upper Darby, Pennsylvania

I mentioned to a friend that there was a Korean mart near the 69th Street terminal, and she gave me this really weird look. I didn't realize how shady the area was until my fiance and I left the train station, but I was very surprised at how clean and bright H Mart was. First, we ate at the food court on the second floor. I had jajangmyun (a Chinese-Korean dish of noodles and black bean sauce), which I haven't had in a looong time. It was great; even across the country, the flavors were similar. We headed back down to the first level, where the insanity began-- any Asian market that has Milkis, 2% peach water (e pu ro), pork blood, lumpia, Pocky, and chicharon (fried pork skins) get an A+ in my book! Given that this was a predominantly Korean market, the abundance of other Asian goodies made me so freaking happy. I didn't want to leave. At one point, I took a picture of the durian and emailed it to my mom. She was pretty jealous. We left after almost an hour, with a block of salmon sashimi, mango juice, Choco Pies, and chicharon in tow. read more

I just went shopping here today! OMG I miss Korean food so much. It took me 50 minutes to get here from Exton. I bought some fresh veggies and some kimchi. I really wanted Dukbokki but I was rushing to buy stuff cause the parking is metered. Luckily I parked in a spot that someone had extra time. I didn't have quarters with me so I booked it. Honestly, I can see how this parking might be really bad. I wish they had free parking. I'm already buying their food. Anywho, this is probably gonna be my go to shopping place. read more

Loved coming here for dinner! The food is VERY affordable, authentic, delicious, and fresh! The great variety amongst the 5 restaurants in the upstairs food court adds to the entire experience. I will definitely be returning here whenever I am craving an affordable Korean meal! read more

H Mart in Upper Darby is an accessible Korean grocery store, located within walking distance of the 69th Street blue line. I usually drive there though to stock up on seaweed, soy milk, and frozen delights. Parking is free for 2 hours if you park across the street in the lot, and get your ticket validated by the cashier of H Mart. Due to this proximity to Philadelphia and the lower population of Koreans in the area, the produce and meat are not as fresh as other locations and the supermarket is much smaller in comparison to other H Marts in the NYC tri-state area. Free samples are usually offered on the weekends. The upstairs has a food court, a bakery store, many stores that sell home goods, and one for cosmetics. I like to stop for food first so I don't shop downstairs with an empty stomach. Lately, I have also found a salon that cuts mens' hair for $9 and womens' hair for $16 around the corner from H Mart in the same plaza. H Mart is a great one stop shop! read more

See all

Fantastic. Just fantastic. I find something new and cool every time we shop here, and the last time we even went upstairs for some good fast food Korean style. Of the restaurants up there, I have to recommend the dumplings at Mandu Roo above all for being so perfectly crispy. The rest is decent, but more importantly convenient. There is also a Korean baker up there that is very affordable (and just might end up making our wedding cake). With all this awesome stuff in one place why not award 5 stars, you ask? I reserve that final star for the day they come through with some ube ice cream. I know, its Filipino, but the Philippines are a popular vacation destination for Korea so I was kind of hoping it would catch on. One day my dream will become reality, and in amongst the red bean popsicles I'll find my ube. read more

It is great many kinds of restaurants so we have many options also tasty was so fantastic also hmart. Super duper great read more

H Mart - Upper Darby - It is so great fresh vege ,meat and etc... they have so many kinds of food ~compare other h mart ..more stuff - Grocery Near Me - Upper Darby, Pennsylvania

This place has an abundance of Asian cuisine and ingredients and package foods!! Some things I got there were really good like the potstickers. I definitely like the seafood market being right there very convenient but I don't know if it's sanitary. The parking isn't so great and inside is pretty packed. read more

Has most of the veggies and fruits that you would not find at regular supermarkets. They also have a great selection of Korean spices and eats. I always get some marinated bulgogi and kimchi when we are there. They also have a great cafateria upstairs with many different kinds of asian cuisines which we are a regular at! Definately will be back. read more

I enjoy going to this grocery store when I run out of Kimchi. I agree with many good reviews here, but no one has mentioned the very very loud disco music that really makes shopping here annoying. Why or why is it like this, I ask? The sound tracks should lull you into a peaceful state, so that you will stay and buy more. read more

A wonderful place to stock up on Asian sauces, seasonings and ingredients (ramen, noodles, frozen treats). Also fresh veggies & meats (a little pricey). Love! read more

Compared to the one in Edison, this h mart is on the smaller side, located in the upper darby area which is on the outskirts of philly. I like the one in elkton mainly because the food court is a little bigger. It is pretty much on par with the one in elkton in terms of quality and choices. Always find good deals here because they have sales pretty much all the time. You can also try samples as most of the time they have stands with dumplings or noodles during the weekends. They have everything that an Asian market normal has from shrimp crackers to packaged ramen like shin ramen to kalbi cuts of meat all the way to your pocky. Would recommend this one for people who live near the mainline area. read more

Difficult to park during the rush hours, but excellent selection of Asian cuisine and ingredients. They even offer fresh fish and side dishes made daily. I always come here when I'm craving sushi at the food court. read more

Wow. Just wow. I'm super jealous of all my friends living in Delco who have access to the wondrous H Mart. I went here with my siblings and we had a good time walking around and gazing in wonder at the sushi-grade fish, fresh produce, and Asian goodies we didn't know we wanted. My brother shops here regularly for meat, fish, produce, etc. We went into the upstairs food court briefly, but having just eaten sushi elsewhere, didn't buy anything. Really, mentioned by other reviewers, this is a cook's dream. When I eventually move back to the Philly area, I know where I'm shopping. read more

I went to this place today. They put the wrong price tag on the shelf. When i checked out I just realized the price is two times higher than what it have on the price tag. I was trying to return it. But they said they don't accept any return. Even for something they did wrong. I have to buy for their mistake. One of their staff is pretty rude . They offered me to exchange something. But I already buy everything I need. I fell they don't treat their customer fair. read more

Echoing Matthew L's sentiments, my people sure do know how to run our liquor stores, dry cleaners, nail salons, and markets. We welcome all of our Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, black, white, and purple friends. Come one, come all to H Mart! read more

Part of the South Korea-based chain, the Upper Darby location is in a unique two story urban location with a food court. Vegan kimchi? check. Giant slab of fresh tofu? check. The only packaged ramen noodles suitable for an adult's dinner? check! The lines get pretty long on the weekends and parking is dicey, but it's at the epicenter of 4 train lines and several buses from Center city and the western burbs, so that's always an option. Make a day of it and grab some bibimbap or sushi at the food court upstairs. read more

Today was my 1st time going to this place and I love the vegetable dumplings and plan on getting some more!! I just hope that the cashiers get better with greeting the customers because it's always about good customer service! Otherwise I love HMart!! read more

I love, love, LOVE hmart! It's a local gem of a grocery store with fresh produce and imported korean/Japanese snacks/spices/goods/food. This store is not only a grocery store, hmart also has a food court on the second floor, both are fairly priced. This location is also conveniently located next to the 69th street terminal so it's easily accessible. Parking is metered but fairly bountiful around this area so you can easily park for a few quarters. Fair prices, large range of food/goods in grocery store and convenient location? Easily a 5 star for me. Please check out the food court!!! read more

Okay when you walk into the H mart- unless you're going grocery shopping, go straight up the escalator. There is a food court with a good amount of selection, from Korean, to ethnic foods, sushi, etc., I come here with one of my friends all the time, at least twice a month. I always try something new, and it never gets old. The sushi is phenomenal and there are a million choices. The fried dumplings by the place all the way to the right....beyond delicious. And everything in between is just as good! When your feeling adventurous, I would recommend everyone to try this. I've brought a millions friends here, and none of them ever said anything bad about it. I've also brought my brothers there after and one of them spent a year in South Korea, so he was completely in love with this place. HIGHLY recommended! read more
