H Mart Ballard

Welcome to Ballard, H Mart! I’m so happy to have this amazing store in the neighborhood. The store is incredibly clean and has a fantastic inventory. I also noticed a beauty section that looks very appealing, though I didn’t have the chance to explore it today. I really liked they have a hot bar, but since it’s their first day and I came in the evening, most of the food was already gone. I’m looking forward to seeing the full range of options when it’s fully stocked. Parking can be a bit challenging since they share the lot with other stores, but that’s understandable with all the excitement around the opening. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful, which made the entire experience feel really pleasant. The lines were a bit long (but moved fast), but that’s to be expected on opening day, and it was great to see so many people excited about the new store. Overall, I’d give H Mart a solid 5 stars.

I’m so excited that Ballard finally has its own H Mart! I stopped by today to check it out, and it has just about everything you’d hope for in an Asian grocery store. The store is well-stocked with a wide variety of Asian groceries, from sauces and snacks to noodles and spices. The produce section is especially impressive—fresh, colorful, and neatly arranged. The freezer section is also packed with a great selection of dumplings, seafood, and other frozen staples. There’s a small ready-to-eat food section if you’re looking for a quick bite, plus a little corner dedicated to K-beauty products. The meat section was smaller than I expected, but still decent. I imagine it will improve as they settle in. A fun bonus: they have a gift shop area, and you get a grocery bag / free goodie depending on how much you spend. I spent $51.05 and chose an aloe drink—such a nice touch! Overall, a great first visit. I’ll definitely be back! Welcome to the neighborhood, H Mart!

Love this place! Very friendly staff. You will find a bunch of fun snacks as well as healthy options. Cleanest makeup section ever. Just go here at least once you won't regret it. 😍

Very nice H Mart location with a wide selection of Asian goods from drinks, snacks, ramen, and groceries. Ready hot or cold meals are also available for purchase to eat at the outside dining area.

A Hidden Gem We Happened to Find – So Glad We Stopped! While driving through Seattle on our way to Fred Meyer, we happened to pass by this brand-new H Mart in Ballard. Being visitors from Texas and unfamiliar with the area, we decided to make a spontaneous stop—and we’re so glad we did! To our surprise, it was only the second day of their grand opening, and the store was buzzing with energy and excitement. Even better, they were offering fantastic deals on a wide variety of products. From fresh produce to popular Korean snacks, everything was attractively priced and well-stocked. One highlight that stood out was the amazing deal on fruit. Earlier that day, we had purchased 8 peaches and nectarines from Pike Place Market for $26. While the quality there was great, we were shocked to find a whole box of nectarines for just $16 at H Mart—nearly half the price! Of course, we couldn’t resist buying another box here to compare the taste, and honestly, they were just as fresh and sweet. A great value! The store itself is clean, modern, and very well organized. The layout makes shopping easy and enjoyable. The snack aisle was especially tempting, with many of our favorite Korean treats on sale for the opening. It was also nice to see helpful and friendly staff keeping things moving efficiently despite the crowd. We had a really enjoyable shopping experience, and we’d definitely recommend this H Mart location to anyone—whether you’re a local or just passing through like us. The quality, prices, and vibe made it worth the visit. If you’re in the area, especially during opening week, don’t miss out on these awesome deals and fresh finds. We’re so glad we stumbled upon this place. Happy shopping and cheers! 🥂

This place is much better than the H Mart in the U District. Since it just opened today, everything is still very fresh. They offer a wide range of Asian ingredients, fresh sashimi, ready-to-eat meals, and various Korean side dishes. As part of the grand opening, they’re giving out gifts for purchases over $100 or $150. The store is clean, but it’s a bit cramped due to the large crowd. Compared to the H Mart in Lynnwood, it’s smaller and slightly more expensive, but it’s much fresher and more spacious than the U District location, with better-managed expiration dates. The size is similar to the one in Bellevue. They’re running some opening promotions—“Gyeonggi Rice” is on sale for about $9, half its usual price, and frozen beef brisket is also discounted. They also sell Korean cosmetics, including a wide range of popular brands like Rom&nd and Beauty of Joseon, so you can find many versions of trendy products actually popular in Korea. They also have Tirtir and reedle shot! One downside is the parking—it’s a bit tight, and the spaces are narrower than you’d expect in the U.S., so be careful when parking. Given how crowded it is on weekends, parking might be difficult. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

A fun shopping experience, amazing selection of products. But the parking lot is a bit tight.

So amazing to have an excellent Hmart in Balllard. Staff is kind, store is impeccably clean, way bigger than some of the smaller format Hmarts around town but not as big as the Lynnwood one. But hey it’s so close! It’s already our go to for meats, banchan, frozen Korean meals

H-Mart is a lovely addition to the Ballard neighborhood, with it's proximity to Fred Meyer, PCC, and Trader Joe's. I love having access to a larger H-Mart as the U-district location is a lot smaller and limited in selection. What blows my mind about this H-Mart is their beauty section, which is decently stocked with skincare, make up and hair products. What I LOVE is that they have Tir Tir skin cushions in stock. It has been one of my holy grails since they went viral on TIKTOK, and it was a pain-in-the-ass to order them online. Now, I have the convenience of stopping by to pick up a cushion when my heart desires. I wear N22 or N24 depending on the time of year. They also sell the Amuse brand, which I fell in love with during my Seoul vacation a couple years back but they unfortunately didn't have the Dew Power SPF 50 ++ cushion in Tan here. Aside from skin care, I do enjoy their hot foods selection especially the kimbap. It brings me joy to recreate my favorite snacking experience in Seoul: kimbap and an iced coffee. I also love I have restock my KANY instant coffees, Gomtang instant noodle cups, mandu and more from this location. One area of improvement is their meat selection. I was hoping it would be as big as the Lynnwood location but it feels like an afterthought at the Ballard location. Luckily I can still find most of my groceries here and can always supplement what I can't find here at either Fred Meyer or Asian Family Center up on Aurora.

Glad they opened a H Mart in my neck of the city! Been to one before but since this one is close to me, we came by to do a little shopping. There is a shared parking lot with a few other businesses but it can get crowded on weekends. They are still celebrating their grand opening so staff is super friendly, provides samples, even security will greet you. Pretty much just like any H Mart, we stocked up on some veggies, fruits, noods, sauces and especially frozen items! Plenty of items in the deli area to grab & go too! Overall, glad we came by, great location for us, clean & new, prices are about the going rate you'd expect, friendly staff etc. Will be back to get our Asian grocery needs!

Went to Ballard HMart today. Smaller than other HMarts but there's decent selection of items. Bought Dubai Chocolate that had an advertised price of $14.98 but when I got home and checked my receipt, I was charged $16.99. This makes me wonder what else they are overcharging their customers. It's close but this bad experience makes me not want to return. There are many other grocery stores in the area.

I've never checked out H Mart locations in Lynnwood, Redmond, Bellevue, Federal Way, Tacoma, Seattle/Capitol Hill, Seattle/SLU, downtown Seattle, but only the Seattle/UDistrict spot. My interest was piqued on grand opening day (6/5/25) since the FTR Yelp Elite, Andrew T posted a positive review. This was in contrast to The College Friend who also visited earlier in the day who did not have an enjoyable experience. So I decided to stop by around 8pm to check out the new Seattle/Ballard location. Busy parking lot shared with other adjacent businesses. It was nice to wander the entire store visiting later in the evening. Lots to look at - fresh produce, meat and seafood, refrigerated items, frozen items, and other retail items nicely shelved. Pantry items. Snacks. Beverages. Kitchen ware. Beauty products. Hot prepared food. Well lit, clean, and organized. The greater Seattle area is fortunate to have vast international stores: Asian, Latino, Eastern European that come to mind. This new Ballard location essentially is another international store with a Korean focus. For sure, you can get your kimbap, banchan, kim chee, and soju here. Staff was present restocking and organizing sections and shelves, but one can tell it must of been a hectic grand opening judging from the guy who handed me a flyer at the entrance, to the checkout person ringing up my few purchases. I bought 3 bunches of green onions (99 cents), delicious CA strawberries ($1.99), chips ($3.49), and hot takoyaki ($7.99). Love how Ballard, historically a Scandinavian neighborhood in Seattle, added H Mart and noticed Exit 5, a future huge Korean (KBBQ) is taking up the corner of 24th and Market. Cheers to international diversity!

I'm excited that H Mart opened in Ballard, my neighborhood! Before this, I had to make do with District H in SLU or H Mart downtown. This H Mart is bigger than the other two locations, but the shelves are pretty tall so it still feels a little cramped in the aisles. I was happy to see that the store offers a good variety of big bags of rice, and medium firm tofu (the QFCs and other regular stores around here only carry extra firm or soft tofu and it has always annoyed me). I also saw that this store carries many single-serving drinks that I don't see anywhere else, like Kagome vegetable juice packs. Whereas District H rarely had sales, this location had many product on the weekly sale. I hope that the sales are not just to attract customers for the opening but they continue. Cashier was friendly and nice to talk to. He said this location opened a few days ago.

So glad to have another option for grocery stores in the Ballard area. Right next to trader Joe's and PCC. This grocery store definitely has its competition set up for it, but we were extremely impressed with the shiny new grand opening and the fun promos they had today. I probably wouldn't come here for groceries that you can find elsewhere, but it was really nice to have a local spot to find more Asian snacks, drinks, and groceries. The service was extremely friendly, although they were completely packed with the grand opening. It was a bit chaotic checking out but I'm sure they'll figure it out as time goes along. There's plenty of parking, and the bus stop is quite close as well

The produce section, which is is the pride of any Asian store, is in dismal shape. Tired scallion, soft daikon, yellowing gai lan, rotting parsley. Better not carry any at all. Prices are not competitive with other Asian stores in Seattle. After one visit, I'll never go back.

Good sized supermarket. I usually go to Lynnwood one and UW one. Korean food section( grab and go) is great. The only reason why I give this market 2 star is because of the cleanliness of the food court tables. SOMETHING WAS SPRAYED ON and NOBODY WIPES TABLES. I thought it's just one table but it's sprayed on ALL Tables. You will be wiping the tables with your jacket if you eat there
