H mart Calgary Downtown

Bought a box of Korean Pear and I must say, it very sweet, juicy and it’s as big as my head . Also bought the peach ade that I loved so much. H-Mart is the best cause they carry a lot of varieties of products that you won’t find in just any supermarkets.

It’s a compact store but has a lot of essentials in wet and dry Korean goods including fruits vegetables and meats and fish. On the plus side they have cooked and hot Korean food offerings with takeout items ready for consumption. And there is a small sitdown area for eating. They also offer cosmetics and beauty products Korea is famous for. Staff is friendly. The whole store is all very approachable in scale.

Lots of korean products from fruits, veggies, fish and meats, beauty products, appliances, kitchen stuffs, etc. I won’t recommend buying here when it comes to cakes. Coz they are so small and super expensive, you just pay for the design coz its cute and aesthetic but the taste is just a simple chiffon/sponge cake. The grab and go meals are good deals. Those ones are good for prices. Like you can buy ready to eat food and they tastes so good. I ate at their food court and the tables are not that clean like people before who used that table made a huge mess. There are drops of sauces/ used napkins. Its sticky. The employees are friendly and greets you nicely. I feel a bit unsafe outside the store coz lots of crackheads/homeless sitting outside. I suggest when you go here you should not be alone or it should not be late/dark outside especially if you are a girl.

On a very snowy and chilly day, I visited the H mart Asian market to buy the ingredients I needed to make Kimchi. The store is well laid out and has an excellent selection of Asian foods. Prices were a little dear on some items, but I expected this as most are imported. The veggies were all good quality except Eggplant. I imagine it is dependant on season. Great selection of sauces and seasonings. The meat looked good, but I did not need any today. I will definitely return to this location for future Asian cooking needs.

UPDATE: needed to update my review from 4 start to 3, as never had I expected to see onigiris for 6$/one. For canned tuna, rice and mayo you can do better, H Mart.nnIt’s a great place to shop for the deals, but at the same some of my favorite products turned out a bit overpriced.nnAlso, I believe all kimchi were pricy, I’m not sure - mb they are better in quality, but the cheapest small plastic barrel was around 22/24$ I’m buying somewhere else for 12/18$. I didn’t see that coming :
