H Mart

Paris Baguette: 5 stars — Come for milk bread, pastries, or tea/​coffee
Food Court: 3 stars — Nothing is exceptional, but everything is at least okay
Pre-​cooked food shops: 5 stars — The food is all great and decently priced. You can get soups, lunch bento, kimchi and other Korean sides, chicken, etc. The mochi and dumpling shops are great too!
Grocery Store: 4 stars — The produce is fresh and they have everything from flour and eggs to marinated calbi and red bean ice cream. It’s well organized and well stocked, but definitely on the expensive side.

The Food Court: You can always get something yummy here. The guy who makes the sushi is so nice, and the sushi is quite good with great prices. You can’t go wrong here– everything is good. All kinds of noodle dishes, stews, soups, plates with rice etc. Something for everyone.
The way it works is you select the number for the dish you want. You go up to the cashier and tell them the number. You pay them and you will get a ticket. When your ticket number comes up at the window where your food is prepared you just go up and get your tray.
On the same level of the food court is a few other little shops. I love the one that sells all the Sanrio products and other cute things. Very cute items in this shop.
The bathrooms are on this level as well.
Down stairs you will find some more shops. The grocery is great for stocking your kitchen. Lots of snacks and candy. The prices are very reasonable here.
Also, the down stairs area has the PB bakery. (please feel free to read my review on that).
This place has gotten quite popular over the years and that makes me happy. We have loved it for a long time.

Love H-​mart! I went to the food court and got lemongrass chicken which was absolutely amazing! very flavorful, and you could tell that the chicken was fresh with regards to the meat and when it was cooked. My friend got some sushi and the fish was absolutely amazing! I’m not much for sashimi, but man this was flavorful fish.
My only disappointment was in the bakery. I went downstairs to get some delicious Korean sweets for a road trip I was taking, and much to my dismay I found a «French-​Korean» bakery downstairs. Don’t get me wrong, I do love fusion food! But I was hoping to stock up on .75 cent breads with amazing cream filling and taro buns! Not fancy croissants that cost $ 3.
I’m going back despite the bakery, cause the food court is great!

This HMart is very old and not too clean. The selections are not as good as Assi. I was particularly taken back by the rude cashiers. They don’t even acknowledge you unless you speak Korean! Don’t need this type of service at all. Will probably stick with Assi in north wales if I need anything Asian groceries.

BBQ power tip #1:
In the back aisle meat department there is a shelf here with pre marinated meats. Get these. Put them over the fire of your choice. Eat them.

Very similar to other H Marts that I’ve been to. Great selection of hard to find Asian grocery/​household items at reasonable prices. This H Mart also has a small indoor shopping mall with a bunch of services and products with an Asian flair. Very nice food court on the 2^nd level. We didn’t end up eating there, but everything looked delicious.

Korean market. Not supermarket but not quite simple market either. More like mediocremarket.
They have most of what a H-​Mart branded markets have but it is located in a rather cramped, low ceiling space that makes it hard to shop. Half the time, you’re trying to avoid and maneuver around other shoppers. The quality of their products are also hit or miss. The limited space also makes what they do have in stock, hit or miss. That being said, this is my go-​to shopping place for Korean and Asian food items in this area. Having shopped at other H-​Mart locations in PA, NJ, and NY, this is definitely not the best facility or space amongst those locations.

I absolutely love this place. I love all of the ready made refrigerated items such as the bulgogi. All you have to do is go home and cook it! It’s such a vast variety of fresh meats, seafood, herbs, veggies and don’t forget the great frozen food section. They also have housewares that are super cute and cleaver and you can’t even find in Chinatown. I love this place

Always love to go to h mart because of all the yummy stuffs inside. Its quiet pricey so u better buy something that only h mart who sell it. I usually buy some banana milk which taste awesome and calpico drinks. Or buy some discount stuffs. However this is the only h mart that i ever go so i cant compare with other place. Its true that the place is kinda small and feel like too much stuffs inside
Dont forget to try paris baquette and their food court. They have a good food

H Mart! Every Korean’s must-​have grocery store… But what I can’t understand is why they can’t have a location that’s spacious with adequate aisle space like any other grocery stores. I swear every Hmart I’ve been to has been a compact place where you’re bumping elbows and carts with the person next to you.
It’s even worse than my church after the service/​sermon where we all enter into the cafeteria having lunch together and people are just not mindful of how to proceed through the table with all the food — let alone help move the «line» so things can move smoothly. Haha I think a sign should be posted at the door that says, «be mindful of others» or «treat others like you would like to be treated». Haha.
But in all seriousness, if you can go during non-​peak hours (during the day) /​ (weekends are absolutely nuts — Saturday — Sunday), it’s not bad but holy cow can it be busy and crazy crowded some days. You get the occasional evil-​look as people are trying to navigate their carts.
The place has everything you need from an Asian grocery store. The prices are quite low compared to others… You’ll know what I mean by it being pretty compact. It can be a hot mess.

This is not the best H Mart to which I’ve been, and I’ve been to many franchises! The selection is less than I’m used to, and it’s not as fresh as I expect from this chain! I wanted to get dumpling skins, and it had fungus on it!!! I am so shocked. This is a very disappointing H Mart.

This is my «go to» place, my Korean heaven, Great Service, Great Sushi at very reasonable prices. Even if your not a sushi lover, there is a wide array of Korean/​Chinese dishes served up beautifully in a food court setting, wait time is short and dining is conveniently right above their super grocery store, which is where I buy my meats!!! Love this place!!! Mostly here on a Saturday or Sunday

Love eating at the food court here! and then after having a good meal, going searching for new flavors in the grocery store is always fun too :-)
It’s a fun place to come to the food court with a group because everyone can pick their favorite foods and then eat together.
Some of the signage is only in Korean, so that can be a bit frustrating but it also makes it feel a little bit like visiting S. Korea, and that is something I kind of like, and WAY cheaper than a plane ticket to the other side of the globe!

It’s an H Mart with various stores inside of the main building (Moori Bank, Paris Baguette, etc.) and a fairly large food court.
The market itself is a decent size (not as big as Assi in North Wales) and well organized and you should be able to find most, if not all, of your needs to make Korean food. Their vegetable selection is decent and not old and gross like the vegetables at an Acme grocery store.
Parking is decent but getting in and out of this place is a bit of a tricky situation especially during rush hour only because of the location it’s in. It’s on a busy corner next to an overpass with one side being a one-​way street.
I would say this place is better than the other Korean market down the street which is much older and less cleaner with less food options.
This H Mart does have pretty good nnengmyun (cold noodles) at the food court which is one of the reasons to check out the food court here. It’s not the best food but the nnengmyun is better than average (for Philly at least).
Parking: Shared lot

I had lunch with my mom and loved the restaurant.
Great selection of food for a good price. I highly recommend coming here to eat.

My family and I absolutely love this food court. It’s the best place to get Korean food at a very reasonable price. The dishes here are very tasty and they do give you big portions. Their kimchi is the best as a side dish. It does get crowded during lunch hours, but you’ll still be able to find a table.

First time at this Hmart after going to the Hmart in Upper Darby numerous times. The food court is location the second floor. Grocery store on 1^st floor. Definitely like the one in Upper Darby better, simply because there is a lot more food options for around the same price. The food is comparable at both locations. Other than Korean food, there is also one sushi and chinese place.
The grocery store is fairly large. There is also two skincare shops (The Face Shop and Amore Pacific), if you’re into korean skincare, these are worth checking out if you want their product in store versus waiting for online shipping.

What a dissappointment! :-(I was expecting a HUGE place or something comparable to the HMart in NJ, but it was so TINY!!! Went into the noodle isle and they didn’t seem to have as many choices as I was hoping for. Same with the snack isle.
For being smack dab in the middle of a predominantly Korean neighborhood, I really thought this place would have been a WOW! The only thing they really have going for them is the food court area upstairs. I like the many choices they have and it’s good if you’re looking for something really quick to eat.

This is more of a review of the Toreore food court on the 2^nd floor, but the Korean maret is awesome — obviously!

After a long day skiing at Bear Creek, the GF and I decided to head over to the Elkins Park H Mart to grab some Korean food and groceries. This is definitely one of the better H Mart’s near Philadelphia, with plenty of individual stores that surround the larger Korean grocery store. There is a Paris Baguette and a proprietor that sells fresh Korean ban chan, BBQ, and stews!
But if you head to the 2^nd floor, there are a variety of Korean dishes that can be ordered — right from the counter in the corner. Based on what you’ve ordered, you’ll see the order number for the respective dishes pop up on a digital screen. Might be confusing at first, but it’s efficient and seamless.
There are different outposts that create your respective dishes. And that’s where the number for your order will pop up. So once it does, head over, grab your tray, and you’re ready to go.
Pan-​Fried Vegetable & Pork Dumplings [$ 8.95]
The GF was in the mood for dumplings. Although Toreore’s soup dumplings (aka XLB) were out of commission, the pan-​fried dumplings were good as well. This was a hefty portion, featuring crisp and deftly fried wrappers filled with a healthy portion of vegetable and pork. It came with a soy-​green onion sauce and some sweet pickled radish.
Kang Poong Gi [$ 9.95]
Garlic fried chicken
We also got the garlic fried chicken, which is usually of my favorite dishes. However, Toreore’s was not my favorite rendition of this oft-​enjoyed Korean-​Chinese fusion dish. It’s meant to be crisply fried (which this was), but I’m used to more garlic than sweet. I also prefer a lighter coating of the sauce.
Still, not bad for less than $ 10. It came with a green onion soup that was clear and wasn’t salty at all. There was also some rice, a dollop of fermented black bean paste, sweet pickled radish, and onions.
So while Toreoreo and the H Mart at Elkins Park is a bit far from Center City, Philadelphia, it’s worth a trip — especially if you’re in need of Korean groceries. Stock up on kimchi, Korean BBQ, and grab a bite for lunch or dinner while you’re at it.

This is where I go to pick up my ingredients to make my famous Bibimbap.
The store has a good variety of fresh greens and meat selection. The aisles are just a tad small, but that’s the case with most Asian grocers.
