Review from Melissa C.
Richmond, BC
I've never been to the H-mart downtown so I can't compare the two but from what I can see in the Richmond one, it's a hella-great-mart. (I tried for a good 2 minutes to think of a better H word, but failed).
I don't eat Korean food often but when I do, I know where to go. There is an endless choice of Korean individually packed seaweed (I found out people usually eat it with rice as their meal... but I eat it straight out of the package), Korean sauces like bulgogi, side dishes (those yummy potatoes!), rice noodles, Korean maki rolls (a type of meat rolled with perserved vegetables), and Korean shipped seafoods and much more. And if you're thinking kimchi or hotpot, there's a huge selection of that here too - not to mention a bulk deli-like area where you can get fresh, pre-marinated meats and kimchi.
Also tucked in the back of the store, there is a bakery and a mini food court with seating. I really like the food court for their jap chae and onion pancake. If you want to see something cool, there's this special machine that steams up these rice kernels and *POPS* out a fluffy rice cake type of food - tastes a little bland but very interesting to see it being formed.
And what's a korean venue without socks ($2-3/each). Something else that was quite inexpensive there was the salmon sashimi (~$2.40/lb), which is a great deal! *nom nom*
I think this is a wonderful addition to Aberdeen so get going! -

Great addition to Aberdeen mall. Korean supermarket with many items you won't be able to find anywhere else.
There is a mini cake bakery and Korean concession like fast food place in the left corner of the store.
This store is borderline 3-4 stars. Only reason why it is 3 bc compared to the downtown location, this one just doesn't compare. -

It's true---the DT is better, and Coquitlam, even more so! Main reason being way too tight in terms of space. No need to get a cart as you will be hitting other shoppers.
Especially the back where the seafood tanks are, just watch your pockets!
Even the food court wasn't much.
Though an upgrade to the previous produce area. -

Nice addition to the Richmond grocery store scene!
I was here on a regular weekend and found it much more pleasant to shop in compared to Osaka (at Yaohan) and it's got a much better selection than the Richmond T&T nearby. Less crazy compared to Osaka and there wasn't the super long checkout lines. Bags are still complimentary here.
The produce selection is a bit small for westernized fruits with variations in quality of those items in particular. Excellent selection of Asian herbs and ingredients - if you're hunting for some weird herb/plant you can't find in your usual Superstore/Save On/Safeway, you'll likely find it here. Meats are nicely cut for hot pots, etc...
I found the pricing quite reasonable and some of their sale items are well-priced. FYI that their "buy 2 for $X" only applies if you buy 2... there's no option to buy only one for half the price like many other stores.
Tons of frozen items available. There's not quite the same Chinese food selection compared to Osaka (I guess that should be obvious since this place is Korean!), but depending on what you need, H-Mart should fit the bill. -

Grand opening Jan 20th
Crazy
Collosal
Sales!
Hectic,
People
and Chinese New Years.
What a way to do a grand opening and if there was any place you wanted to avoid if you didn't like crowds, it was the grand opening.
Everyone in Richmond was here looking for bargains which there was many to be had.
The place was packed. They chose to venture into the bowels of shopping madness while I chose to wait outside in the mall which was near chaos.
So in a good way. Chaos Chaos Chaos means, great deals and a new store that will surely bring competition to the likes of the neaby twins of TNT and Osaka Food market.
H-Mart is here! -

Came exploring here on opening day and it was all sorts of crazy. Came back a week later and it was much more mellow. They've got sampling to compete with the T&T across the street. The store feels a bit cramped (the fresh fruits & veggies section is pretty small if you think about it), but there's got a great selection of fresh seafood and shellfish that I didn't see elsewhere. Their specials are great too, and the staff is really friendly. It's still pretty busy weeks after its opening, which is a good sign!
