I always freeze the extras and they toast back up very well in the toaster oven. The biggest downside is the wait time. There is almost always a line for Sangak Bread and it takes a while. Other than that, I do think it's worth it. The supermarket itself is also great, it's fairly clean and they have such a nice variety of lamb to choose from.

I'm here for a year from the Boston area where I've been spoiled by The Butcherie. Wholesome Choice is my favorite find, and the closest to a full scale kosher supermarket in the Irvine area. As a separate bonus, I'm always happy to support businesses that have the Sun and Lion Iranian flag displayed.

The staff overseeing the store walked throughout the store and fixed things they saw.

The vitamin staff was so helpful! Parking can be difficult during peak times, like lunchtime.

It's smaller in size, but it has it all, including an elevator that leads to the restrooms! (Code required!) I love the cafe in here, as well as the juice bar. The juice bar here is my favorite, because the pricing is affordable (and don't say it isn't- in this economy, all the smoothies out there are money, honey) and it's all made in front of you.

As we all know, one of many H Mart locations located within the city of Irvine, ironically enough I…read morethink this is one of several located on Alton Parkway itself lol The store is huge. 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.

I'm hoping H Mart makes changes and removes the unhealthy ingredients then I will buy more.

Only knocking down the rating on this store by a bit since the store associates do not seem nearly…read moreas nice as the Sprouts associates on Tustin Jamboree location, and I was a bit surprised by the cost of produce (green onion for $1.79 and "organic" onions with a little label for also $2?) but it is probably normal for this type of supermarket. 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!

Food Court! Amazing! Delicious! Never disappoint! Lunch hour is BUSY and every table is taken. Parking is tight. They have varieties of Japanese food and drinks in here. There are other stores in here as well selling toys, books, etc. Parking is tight on weekends and lunch hours every day. There are more parkings underneath the store. You just have to turn left after passing the front of the store.

This was my first time at this Mitsuwa, and unfortunately, I wasn't very impressed. The parking lot…read moreis quite small, and there was active construction at the entrance during my visit, which made the area noisy and a little difficult to navigate. Having been to other Mitsuwa locations, especially the one in Torrance, I found this store to be very cramped and dark by comparison. I also had trouble finding many of the items I normally buy at Mitsuwa--they simply didn't seem to be stocked on the shelves. The prepared foods were another disappointment. 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.

For the most part, the produce is also always fresh and nicely packaged and displayed. The employees there are always working so diligently and they're super friendly when you need help. The ambience is nice because it's spacious, clean and whelm maintained. The uncles and grandpa's that work at the seafood counter are always super friendly as well. There are aunties offering samples throughout the market. My only complaint about this location much like the other newer locations is with how large the floor plan is you can tell that they put the same items in multiple areas just to ensure that everything looks fully stocked and they're making use of all the space. It can get pretty overwhelming and at times just frustrating to actually locate a specific item that you're looking for. Oh, they also have an art box within this location, a a bakery and a full food court!

I'm probably a little bit biased because this is the closest Albertsons to me, but even with that…read morebeing said, I do think it's a pretty solid location. It's located right next to university of Irvine so as expected, you'll always see a bunch of student students shopping inside. I've never had issues with them being out of stock on any staples and their meat and deli counters are both well managed with some super friendly staff members. I also frequent their deli for their fried chicken and I can confirm they do a solid job (because let's be real not all locations are created equal when it comes to their fried chicken) They have both standard checkout lanes and self service checkout lanes with a staff member who's always readily available to help. The ambience is clean well maintained with friendly staff, and the store layout in my opinion is also a plus because it's large with wide aisles and plenty of inventory!

This has to be one of the worst Albertsons locations for DoorDash pickups. Every time I come here,…read morethey seem completely overwhelmed and unorganized when it comes to online orders. Today I spoke with Tommy and gave him the customer's name for the order I was picking up. After waiting about 10 minutes, he came back out and asked me for the same name again. It was confusing and didn't inspire much confidence that anyone knew where the order was or what was going on. 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.
