    Aisle 8

    Huge market with no soda tax like Philly. They have a nice inventory and actually have a lot of sale items still in stock. The self checkout area works great and gets you in and out fast if you don't have too many items. Clean and bright lighting throughout the store makes shopping a lot more comfortable!

    Used the catering department for my staff today. We ordered turkey and cheese hoagies and buffalo chicken hoagies. $40 for a large tray of 4-5 in hoagies. They were so good. My staff loved them. The rolls were so soft and fresh. The lunch meat was plentiful. They gave us sweet and hot peppers on the side along with tomatoes and mayonnaise. The lady in the catering department was pleasant and helpful. Whenever we have another function for the staff I will leave it in the hands of The Fresh Grocer. Kudos to you guys for making our event a success.

    Expired body care products! It's crazy because I took the second box from the front not knowing it's a whole rack with expired items

    Pumpkins  are in!

    Generally the store is up to par with the others in the chain but the seafood counter is in need of training and better quality offers

    They advertise a takout buffet, but it's usually just a buffet of empty bins, even at dinner time. Don't plan a meal around it.

    The top floor of this H Mart is actually pretty nice -- there's a cafeteria, a Paris Baguette, and…read moresome small shops for cosmetics and home goods. It's a good spot to grab a bite or browse around casually. However, the actual H Mart experience leaves a lot to be desired. Right at the entrance, you're required to check all your bags -- even reusable shopping bags -- which feels unnecessarily aggressive. The staff at bag check treated me more like a potential thief than a customer. I had a larger wallet (the long kind, not sure what it's called), and even that was questioned. I had to argue just to take it in with me, since clearly you can't steal anything in a wallet. Once inside, the store layout is standard. The produce section near the entrance looked fresh and well-stocked. Seafood was also plentiful and appeared very fresh. The meat section had a solid selection, especially marinated cuts ready for Korean BBQ -- definitely a plus. That said, the snack section was smaller than I expected, especially compared to the ones in Chinatown. I was surprised at the limited variety. The prepared food section (like pre-made kimchi and sides) was practically empty when I went around noon -- not sure if it was bad timing or just poor restocking. Check-out was fast, but the line system was confusing. The worst part? After paying, you have to exit the store, walk back around to the bag check, and then -- get this -- squat on the floor to repack your groceries. No tables or counters provided. It felt disorganized and a bit humiliating. Overall: decent grocery selection, but the experience is soured by unfriendly policies and poor customer service flow. I'd come again for specific items, but I won't be rushing back.

    Take my review with a grain of salt because I have never been to another hmart before this!…read more I love it here, and they have everything I need for Asian cuisine and then some. My boyfriend is Ecuadorian and they have a pretty loaded Hispanic aisle ironically enough and Tango cookies which are extremely hard to get in the United States, so this is a bonus (no having to wait for abulita to smuggle them back for him, yay!) Prices are average, if anything slightly above average... but I expect this for a specialty store with imported goods. Great location as I'm able to just take the SEPTA to here, works out nice if I wanna make a lil day trip out of it and eat at the food court too. :) Again, I have no other hmarts to compare it to, but it is a tad dirty and run down as far as grocery stores/food markets go. Whole building does smell like fish... but they also *do* have an open fish market thing indoors. Tight aisles. I'm fairly petite and others can squeeze by me, but exactly that: they have to SQUEEZE by me. Nobody with an average height/build could stand comfortably in an aisle with a cart and others get through. Place also isn't huge, but boy, is it packed. As mentioned, it has basically everything you'd need, especially for imported goods. As some other reviews have said, they make you unbag all your stuff and put it back... which is odd, because I'm totally fine with showing my receipt (á la Walmart or any wholesale club like BJs, Sam's Club etc) but it is next level here. High theft area, I presume. Security at front door and I've never had issue bringing my reusable bag in, but I expect to be searched on the way out. Staff is pleasant enough. I don't think in the 10 or so times I've gone to check out they've said hi to me... but I'm also used to shopping at Eastern European markets/have family from that region and they don't do that either so it doesn't bother me lol.

    At the suggestion of one of my students at HMS, we ordered dins from a place I had never heard of…read moreuntil he told me about it--Spring Grocery Store. (60 E. Spring Avenue, Ardmore). I took it with a grain of salt, because 12 year olds are not notorious for their discerning palate. He was kind enough to bring me a menu, and off we went! We ordered (5) wings to start (student loved them). They were good--have had better. I ordered the cheese steak, was piping hot when we picked it up, a respectable amount of meat and extra cheese as ordered--very good. My husband ordered the Curry Goat. It was excellent. Tender pieces of goat (on the bone, think small little riblets) with a flavorful yet not too spicy curry sauce, rice and bean mix and excellent fried cabbage.The ratio of beans to rice was a tad low, but still very good. It is an unassuming storefront among row homes, neighbors hanging out on stoops and such were friendly and welcoming. We will be back!

    Stopped in walking home from happy hour on Friday with a friend and had the curry chicken and jerk…read morechicken. All the platters come with a side of cabbage and a side of beans and rice. It was amazing! I couldn't stop thinking about it the next day, so I had to come back for lunch! This time I tried the oxtail, and curry goat. My favorite was the Jamaican jerk chicken, but the Oxtail and curry chicken were very good as well! I wasn't a big fan of the goat, but it had nothing to do with the cooking though. Just too many little bones in it. Loved the beans and rice! Probably the best I've ever had! Great find, will definitely return!

    I love Aldis. It's my go to grocery store for almost everything. Sure I have to go to other grocery…read morestores/ markets once in a while to stock up on some items, but Aldis is all I need for basic staple grocery items. I'm not sure why that one reviewer said they don't accept credit cards, that's not true I pay credit all the time. The one con, is that sometimes the lines are incredibly long, like down half the store (an entire aisle), but even then it's not that bad - most of the cashiers are very fast and efficient. Where else can you get a bag of pretzels or tortilla chips for 92 cents, or fake girl scout cookies (which are really good IMO) for $1-2 dollars per box depending on which type of cookie. The only produce I don't usually get there is mushrooms unless I'm cooking the same day, because those seem to go bad quickly. I also love how many dairy free milk options there are, lots of vegan/vegetarian meatless crumbles and meatballs, tofu and many other healthy options. I also enjoy their rotating aisle, which you can find all kinds of random seasonal things. For those that complain about having to pay for a plastic bag.. just saying there are such things as reusable tote bags and it's an incentive to not use plastic for the environment.. Also the whole idea is that at Aldis you bag your own stuff, and also return your own shopping cart. These reductions in staff is what allows these awesome low prices. I went to Target a couple weeks ago for some items, and I forgot how much "regular grocery stores" cost but man did it make me miss Aldis! Over the last couple of years I've noticed more and more vegan/healthy items added to their stores and I hope to continue to see the trend .

    My favorite grocery store! Granted, they don't have all the selections like the bigger stores, but…read morethey have exactly what you need. Not small but not so big where it takes you long to find your products, either. Shopping is fast and efficient! And NO ONE beats their prices! Not even in today's unpredictable economy. I wished they were open later.

    I think this is a pretty good market but some of the prices aren't that good. (In that sense…read morethey're doing inflationary wise what most U.S. shops are doing nowadays.) That's sad. Another thing I don't care for is they no longer have a coffee station. Because America's landfills are already full of things like coffee cups and plastic lids lately I've been bringing my own mug when I go out for coffee. The above is probably a good idea, that said. I'm kinda surprised finally that a joint like Whole Foods has so many products lined with chemical properties. Why they offer such products the only thing I can surmise is MONEY. Amazon has to line its pockets that's obvious!

    This is a relatively good store however the staff can be rude, volatile and extremely inappropriate…read morewith customers. I witnessed this personally this week and it makes me very concerned about shopping at this location which is two minutes from my home. I saw a person working in the store essentially lose her mind on a customer and it was really aggressive and unnecessary. It was brutal. Who needs that in a grocery store? Do better Wholefoods! You should train your staff to be helpful not harmful to your patrons. This event was completely unnecessary and unprofessional on the part of Wholefoods.
