I had no idea they offer free parking! The entrance to the lot is in the alley behind the store, parallel to Seymour. Park in one of the spots labelled H-Mart, take the elevator up to the shop, and just sign in on the parking list at customer service. They will also gladly help you bring your groceries down to the parking lot. This is the epitome of what Koreans like to call seo-bi-suh (service)! read more

This place fills a huge Asian supermarket void in the middle of downtown Vancouver. Although its floor space is rather limited compared to T&T, it does manage to cram in a small Korean food court, two fridge sections of fresh and preserved seafood, a selection of cookware, produce, as well as a couple aisles of sweeta$$ asian snacks. It has an impressive array of various marinated fish roes which is used sparingly in several dishes such as mentaiko udon. This is the go-to place for Korean and some Japanese goods Downtown. If you're looking for Chinese then head to Tinseltown. read more

Much more expensive than the coquitlam location and the downtown t&t. Still am happy that they have this location. Used to visit regularly when i lived downtown, but now there are much more reasonably priced options closer to me. Be prepared to pay much much more for such non-asian foods like cheese, yoghurt, cereal...the veggies and meats are reasonably priced it seems :) read more

I lived in Japan for a bit during high school and developed a tragic addiction to vending machine canned coffee. (Suntory BOSS is the boss of them all since 1992 -- did you know?) I'm better these days, but when I really need a fix, H-Mart's got my back. I first encountered H-Mart back home in Virginia. I didn't expect to find one here; turns out they're an international chain. Sweet! This is a lot smaller than the Super H-Marts I came to know and love: the produce selection here -- while good, and actually fairly complete -- has a much less awe-inspiring breadth. It still has enormous goddamn vegetables, holy hell. You might be able to find daikon and taro root at Safeway, but not like this! The seafood selection is, similarly, smaller but probably sufficient... they have packages of pre-cut sashimi slices, which seemed like a good idea. I wasn't totally blown away by how fresh my salmon fillet was, though, so who knows. They also sell raw beef sliced thin for hot-pot or barbeque dishes. The whole point of H-Mart for me is the things you just can't get at other supermarkets, at least not for a reasonable price: cans of milk coffee, bottles of Pocari Sweat & Bacchus-D and cans of Calpis Water, big packs of mugicha in the summer, furikake and umeboshi for onigiri, cooking staples like dashi-no-moto and konbu, frozen takoyaki balls, daifuku mochi or lychee jellies for dessert. It's all here! It's like being back in Okinawa. There's a downside, there: it's a little like being back in Okinawa. This is a small space, and there's especially little room here for Western-y goods compared to some of their bigger stores. I had to duck in to IGA on the way home for a can of black-eyed peas for a recipe out of my Japanese cookbook. I wouldn't do all my weekly shopping here, but if you do yourself much Korean or Japanese cookin' or just fancy a nibble or sip of something slightly unexpected, this is the place to get it done. Edit: Fancy extra I forgot about -- if you buy $50 of groceries, they'll deliver it for free within downtown. I live across the creek so I won't have a chance to try it out, but what a neat idea! read more

by far the smallest H Mart that we've visited, but perfect for the urban setting. as our family is visiting vancouver on vacation, this was the perfect spot to get our supplies for the weekend. this place has all your asian comfort foods and supplies that the traditional H Mart would have even with the smaller square footage - fresh fish and crabs to boot. There are even your typical in store restaurants for a quick lunch. Korean/japanese + chinese dishes available for the combo pricing. the coolest part about this supermarket is the fact that it's a complete and full service asian market smack dab in the middle of a downtown metropolitan city...only in vancouver!! read more

This review is more for the actual supermarket, as I don't eat at the food court too often. However, I have tried the curry place (delicious)! The produce at H Mart is relatively fresh. I enjoy coming here when I'm looking for Asian ingredients (they're usually stocked with Japanese and Korean stuff, not so much Chinese ingredients though). The also have a good selection of seafood: fresh Dungeness crab (usually at a decent price), lobster, whole fish, and other delicious creatures, which they will butcher and clean for you if you ask. It is a little expensive to buy your groceries here, but if you live in the downtown core, it's the closest Asian supermarket. There is a T&T by the stadium, but that's a little far if you don't have a car. read more

H-Mart on Robson is located conveniently and serves a function - if you're in the downtown hub and must pick up food for the night. The selection is mediocre and the prices aren't great - but then again, it is on Robson Street. To be fair, what this place is good for are specialist Korean items (such as the various pickles and condiments and ready-to-use meats). If I have the time, I usually walk over to T&T for Asian goods - lot cheaper and a significantly larger selection - or to Konbiniya further west on Robson for Japanese takeaways and specialist items. read more

You know why H Mart is awsome?!?!? u gotta take an escalator to get in... aww yeah!! Im a new fan of Hot Pot, you know where u put a bunch of raw ingredients in a boiling tasty broth bowl and cook it to your hearts desire! Whenever i feel the need to entertain and host a hot pot dinner, i go to H mart to get my shit! they already have everything u need to have a successful hot pot party!, From thinly sliced beef, pork and sea food to sliced up veggies and what not They also got a wide variety Korean Produce, sauces, marinades, (Bulgogi whaaaat) and my new found favorite, Kimchi! i used to hate that shit but now i love it like a fat kid loves cake!!! yum! u can even find things that you normally can't find at other supermarkets, yes even T&T. If your feeling lazy to cook, there's a little food court just at the side where u can get a quick meal with a nice view of Seymour and Robson on the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, if you want to get your sweet tooth on, there's an Asian bakery downstairs selling all kinds of sweety goodness! Granted the prices here a little steep top and bottom but hey, your in downtown, what do you expect! the quality is there so give it a try! read more

Solid H-Mart in Downtown with the standard Korean and Asian offerings as well as a small food court. It is much smaller compared to the ones that I visit in NY and Philadelphia, but has all of the stand-by's and the prices are reasonable. read more

They don't have too many sales or choices compared to the ones out in the burbs but they have a decent stock of most of the basic Korean/Japanese items. This is a pretty convenient location for me so I tend to go there if I need items needed to make my Korean dishes. I don't usually purchase Vegetables there unless they are things that I can't find at a regular grocery store not because their quality is poor, it's just I don't come to H Mart for all my daily shopping needs. I treat H Mart as a specialty mart and come here only when I need something specific that I can't find at a regular grocery store. As for the food court, they are pretty good and reasonably priced as well. I like the kimbab rolls and the dduk bok go (spicy rice cake) at the smaller store in the food court, locate closer to the mart. The ladies there doesn't seem friendly at a first glance but once you get to them, they are super friendly and nice. The bigger one has more variety of Korean food. Their soups are pretty good and if you want a more mild taste, I would suggest the Gal-bi-Tang or Sul-lung-tang. (Tang means soup). read more

Wow! I am in Japan or Korea, but I am not. I am in Vancouver on the corner of Robson and Seymour. Entering through the glass doors, the teams of Asian students standing outside should have indicated that this is going to be heaven. I love ethnic shopping experiences and especially love it when I can take an escalator to the top floor of the grocery store. It is a gigantic food paradise with sushi, a hot section of Korean and Japanese specialties, seaweed snacks, chocolates and candies and exotic vegetables. So cool! I love the variety of rice dishes and colourful packaging on everything. It's a Hello Kitty heaven for food. Even if you're not hungry or don't need Asian groceries, check this place out for fun. read more

Good place if you are cracking of Kimchi or bulgogi beef. Now if fresh produce such as vegetable and fruits don't even think about it. Fish and meat are mainly frozen too. The price is correct and the place is relatively clean. I would go only for very specified Korean product !! read more

A medium-sized market located in downtown which carries some unique Korean ingredients I haven't seen elsewhere, like bellflower root. The aisle dedicated to seaweed snacks was impressive with different varieties toasted with olive oil, grapeseed oil, and sunflower seed oil. Prices appeared reasonable and in line with other Asian markets around town. Will definitely return when making Korean recipes and needing specific ingredients. read more

For the lack of Korean groceries downtown, I suppose this H-Mart will have to do. Their prices are generally higher (location, location, location), but that doesn't mean you're getting top produce for top dollar. I always skip the meat section since I refuse to pay $20 or more for a packet of not so good looking beef, chicken, pork, etc. They used to have a seafood section, but not it's turned into a sushi/sashimi, do it yourself pre-packaged soup section. Other than that, you'll find lots of frozen meats and seafood (I wonder why) and a small fresh produce section. I usually come here when I'm short on time and already downtown. They also have a decent foodcourt upstairs bakery downstairs--three in one stop for those who are on the go. read more

"Meh. I've experienced better" really explains my experience at this H-Mart. When I found out there was an H-Mart downtown, I thought, "That's great... Cheap prices and loads of selections." Boy was I mistaken. This H-Mart is quite small and doesn't have a very wide variety. I didn't give this place a two star because of a lack of cleanliness or because I had a bad experience, but because the place was just okay. The prices were higher than T&T, the store didn't have as good of a selection as T&T and it was kind of small. If I lived downtown, then i wouldn't mind going here more often, but since I have to travel, I would rather go to Chinatown or to T&T. And as always.... Have Fun!!! read more

Ok so as other reviewers mention it's not exactly Asian market more of korean and Japanese market. There are hmarts all over North America and the ones in Southern California are amazing size of Costco! This one is smaller, a bit pricier but it's got everything I need to make kick ass meal.. Just wish they would bring "bezee jigae" back :( it's the best tofu curd soup ever!! Value 4/5 go on weekends for best deals Atmosphere 4/5 food court Service 4.5/5 Quality 4/5 16.5/20 read more

Store is smaller the one I usually go to(which is Lougheed one), but the store is well lit, organized, clean and their customer service is nice. Just like many other Asian markets, some have problem speaking English well but I can see them trying hard to finish their jobs in English, which I love. English is my 2nd language too and I worked hard for years. I like seeing people who does the same. But ignore my grammer because my speaking is better lol I love H Mart lot more than T&T because H Mart can actually understand and answers correctly to my questions(like they know what they carry, price, where...etc). T&T usually fails so I never bother asking them and I just suffer(still better than asking then get misdirected which happens a lot). This store is located only few minutes walk from Grandville station, it's ver easy to get to and hard to miss. I would recommend anyone who needs good Asian market to shop at. read more

A visit to H-Mart is an easy remedy when I'm missing Japan. All of a sudden I'm thrown back into the familiar confusion of trying to figure out what might be in that bottle or box, and what purpose that ingredient might serve. It's a fantastic way to shake up your home cooking with some new ingredients or whole new style of meal. Although the food is mainly imports, the prices are not crazy. Keep an eye out for the peanuts covered in a crunchy layer of faintly fishy batter. There's a squid smiling on the package. Don't knock it till you've tried it. They're addictive snacking pleasure. read more

I came to H-Mart for my first time yesterday. First of all, what is the H for? We all know that the K on K-Mart stands for Kanada, so what's up with the H? Someone please enlighten me. When you go into H-Mart you have to take the escalator upstairs to the grocery department to get your goods. I made my way up there to discover tons of products that I could not read the labels on. It was like taking an escalator to another world. Stairway to heaven anyone? It was food heaven anyways, and I was the minority. I was looking for miso paste, and it was actually pretty easy to find since the store is not too big. I paid about $6 for some GMO free organic low sodium miso, (the low sodium was actually the selling point for me, I love salt, but not that much.) I spotted some other things in the store that I was curious to try, so I ended up grabbed some veggie dumplings and some gyoza sauce because I just haven't been able to find the right vinegary-spicy sauce that you get in restaurants. I ended up spending $17 altogether and I was quickly shuffled through the line at the cashier. The cashier did ask me if I had an H-Mart card though.... what is an H-Mart card? Is this some secret society card that I don't know about to give you discounts at this other worldly shop? How do I get one? My questions will go unanswered for now, but I will find answers to your mysteries H-Mart! I'll be back, and this time I will be ready. read more

Great selection of Korean food and some Japanese. Seemed like a lot of people shopped here as it was really busy. We had some sushi from the food court that was melt in your mouth delicious and ended up buying some of those delicious Korean yogurt drinks. I'm sure if I lived in Vancouver I'd frequent this market. read more

We were staying in a condo right across the street was real nice. Had a lot of the foods I enjoy. This trip was for Ice Cream. This location is really small compared to the one in Dallas, Orange county, and San Diego but it was perfect for my needs. read more

This review is strictly on my dine-in lunch experience yesterday. H-Mart reminds me of a Korean T&T. The hot food section in the Metrotown T&T was a lunch goldmine for me. Sadly, working Downtown means that I am no longer within walking distance of cheap, quick, and relatively decent Asian food. Don't let me even get started on the Downtown food court Chinese places. The selection is abysmal (especially vegetables) and so is the taste. H-Mart came recommended and I had high hopes, which was quickly crushed. I had the #3 Beef Broth Soup, and chose noodles over rice. The noodles were brittle, not soft and chewy, like they're supposed to be. The soup was just spicy, no other flavours. I was expecting hearty beef broth - nope. Buried within the soup were some bean sprouts, few tiny slivers of really tough beef, and broken up egg (mostly yolk). I pretty much just ate the bean sprouts and beef. I left hungry, but really did not wish to take another bite. It also came with a small plate of kimchi, which didn't taste like much of anything either. The original recommender was so shocked at my experience. Perhaps there is some inconsistency that just happened to fall upon me. I would give them a second chance, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here and definitely will avoid the noodle and soups. FYI - debit and cash only at the hot food register. read more

Am I the only one who couldn't find the food court/ready to eat section for the longest time? Finally, someone helpfully pointed me in the direction of making a sharp turn at the top of the escalator and going past the cashiers at the front of the grocery store, and there is the food court, like the world on the other side of the wardrobe. H-Mart is pretty good for an Asian grocery in a convenient package. I prefer Fujiya when I can get there, but this place is perfectly adequate for fulfilling the kimchi/Pocky/noodles needs and has a more central location with longer hours. (Fujiya is Japanese and H-Mart is Korean, but they carry many of the same products.) And I love those sushi rolls with beef for a lunch treat. And now that I've found it, the food court, with its tables with a view of the street, has become a go-to spot for some downtown downtime. read more

I love Korean food and this place provides many of the fresh meats, seafood, and vegetables to make your favorite Korean dishes. read more

H Mart - Korean BBQ meats ready to take and cook - Grocery Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

See all

I came here with some friends for last minute quick Asian fast food over the weekend. The location of H-Mart is convenient because it's right in the middle of the town, and there're enough seats around. The pricing is reasonable for Asian fast food, definitely not cheap though, at round $8-10 per item. However, the food quality as far as Korean food goes is below par. Plus the quantity is smaller than expected compared to most Korean joints in the bay area. So next time I will skip and walk one more block to get JapaDog or Viet sub... Oh, they do take credit cards @ the cash register because it's a part of the supermarket establishment. However, don't expect the servers to speak much English at all. read more

I find this place much less frustrating than the nearby IGA. The layout is better, and the cashiers are always polite and friendly (they even give lollipops to the kids) The prices here are just as expensive, and the selection isn't awesome, due to the limited size of the store. read more

Do you need a food court, T and T, and Anna's cake house, plus some humidifiers and rice cookers all in one stop? If so, H mart be the place to be. The bakery on the main level is sweet. Tons of baked goods and some cakes too. Upstairs is where the party is at, in regards to produce, meat, cookware, rice cookers, hot pot food galore. Asian snacks can also be found here. Also there is an express selection of food court style vendors. Check it out read more

Hmart grocery is clean, well-stocked-- blahblah, groceries are groceries. Whatever. On to their food court! I love their cheap eats. I have soondae, kimbap, jjajangmyun. It's the best when you're craving korean food and you're alone or with a date you don't need to impress, or with really close friends who don't mind your cheapo desires. I wouldn't order anything too complicated- their soon tofu stew is not that great. Go for simple comfort food, and think strictly bun-shik style and you can't go wrong. Plus, you can get a table by the window with views of Robson which I find surprisingly pleasant. read more

Yes, yes, yes! I need miso, nori, kimchi, chrysanthemum tea, matcha... If you need Asian ingredients....go to H read more

This is basically a Korean Grocery store with a small food court and some Japanese items. I'm a pretty big fan because they have a really good selection of Korean seaweed which I regularly crave, same goes with sesame oils, frozen Korean dumplings and noodles. Basically, its a very extensive Korean T&T-equivalent. I come here to get my favorite sesame oil (Kadoya brand which is Japaense), seaweed, and a quick snack. I would highly recommend getting some of the Korean seaweed. Basically, the Koreans oil their seaweed with sesame oil, lightly toast it, salt it, and eat it with rice (sticky Korean-style grains are best). Give it a try, especially if you've only had seaweed at sushi places. It's really a staple in Korean households and they don't really serve it at Korean restaurants. read more

This isn't the best quality korean food But hey, it's in a food court..so lower your expectations I go for the soondae (blood sausage) and gimbap The seafood pancake is decent, too Regarding h-mart.. it's korean...meaning it sells korean products/groceries..so yeah..it shouldn't be confused with T&T. Not the cheapest, but it's convenient read more

Alright, the only reason this place gets 3 stars instead of 2 is because it was *sparkling* clean & the service was good. So, those are definitely the pros. The con, or at least the MAJOR con was the price. I paid nearly 1.30CAD for an apple! And it wasn't organic or fany or anything special. It was kind of big HAH maybe that's why it was so much. At least it was fresh. But yeah the prices were too much :_( It was very well-organized and put together. So there is another plus. read more

I stayed in an apartment just across the street so the location was very nice to me. I had a Korean spicy noodles. My food came out very fast. Be careful that they only take cash or debt card at the food court. The food was ok, not as good as I expected. I also do a little shopping at thevsupermarket. The cut watermelon cup was 99cents which was really a bargain. They have a lot of Korean sauces, noodles, kimuchi. But I was just doing my regular shopping, their collection does not apeal to me much. read more

I like H-Mart for the products I cannot find at other asian supermarkets. Also they have a "food court" section that I go to for lunch since it's fairly close to work. nothing beats spicy tofu soup on a cold day. Service is always friendly, it's a pleasant experience as always. read more

The place is distinctly Asian and very neat. I went there recently and they have pretty decent prices for produce. The wait in line was okay. read more

Terrible service, cashier doesn't even speak any English. Not only that, she doesn't even try, doesn't say thank you, and IGNORES when I ask a question. I usually have no problems for such a simple grocery stop, but they manage to do it sometimes. read more

Super disappointed after reading all these great Yelp reviews!!! I thought it was going to be much larger with a wider selection of Japanese items. The food court was barely operating, and I didn't get a discount on an item that I bought specifically because of the discounted price. I guess I shouldn't have expected such a grand Asian grocery in the middle of downtown. read more

Really great location, not very large, but had great sales. Since living in Korea, I missed going to one. Can't wait to get back to Vancouver and so here again. read more

One of the more odder places you can go to, H-Mart, which is located a block away from the hideous IGA and shouldnt be as busy as it is, but it is, bringing in the Asian population downtown, where you can buy all sorts of weird stuff with Korean lettering (the ingredients, which are always on a seperate label, don't really help, because it uses rough english language) You can find your staples here actually, everything from vegetables, to frozen stouffers products as well. But why go here when you could go to, yes, IGA? Yes, for the stuff you can't get anywhere else. I come here mostly for the strange potato chips. They seem to have discontinued the great garlic bread cheetos though.. Also, there's a cafeteria there, where, again, you can find all sorts of odd little things. A definite reccomendation to go to if you're in the area! read more
