H Mart Downtown Seattle

Awesome place! Bigger on the inside. I worked nearby for ages and never realized it was there due to the recessed nature of the entrance as seen in the photos. Selection is fantastic, there's snacks and drinks, groceries, and a huge selection of hot food. I'll be coming back here often!

1. It takes 5 minutes from Seattle Starbucks 1st store! 2. If you live near downtown Seattle and miss Korean food, go here! 3. The price is much higher than that of Korea, but it is reasonable for US prices. 4. The staff is kind, and there are security personnel when you go down the escalator, so it's safe. 5. There is so much that there is nothing missing. Korean products 6. There are instant foods, ramen, and tofu. 7. I highly recommend it to Koreans traveling near downtown Seattle!

This store is in the heart of Seattle. If you’re within walking distance from Pike’s market, you can walk right into this store to but any asian unique finds. It’s an awesome option for buying affordable ready to eat meals and drinks. The option can be overwhelming due to the quantity of varieties the store carries; but it will always be totally worth your time. It’s also a great place to shop if you’re staying at a nearby hotel for the weekend or vacation. You can buy all your essentials at a reasonable price here. I personally love the unique variety of groceries, ready to eat meals, coffees, drinks, candies, snacks, poke bowls, sushi, and souvenirs that i got here. It makes me feel like i travelled to different countries all in one place. You won’t regret your visit.

A korean centric store that also has a ton of other asian produce and products. I love the prepared meals that they have,I usually pick up one of the Unagi combo bentos. Great location as its near Pikes Place and a few minutes from downtown. The staff that work there are always helpful and kind.

I bought 4 pieces of this product at H Mart, and one contained extreme mold/ fungus when I opened it. What makes this even worse is that the best before date was July 12, 2025, yet I purchased it on January 8, 2026. All 4 pieces were expired 🙈 This is completely unacceptable and a serious food safety concern. There was no way to notice this before buying. I expect far better quality control from H Mart. I’ve attached photos as proof. I hope the store takes this seriously, checks their stock handling and storage procedures, and improves quality control to prevent this from happening again. Unfortunately, this experience makes me very hesitant to buy any products from this location in the future, seriously start doubting the quality of ready-to-eat food

Wow they have everything. Crazy that they have packed all of the things into this space. Their hot bar is the best deal in downtown. Tons of fried chicken, full meals, even individual beers. I had the Korean fried chicken, it was $12.99 and easily fed two people. Tons of snack options under $5, hot and cold.

This has become my favorite spot in the whole city , especially for food . You can have authentic Asian food for a much lower price than the rest of the town . I would like to highlight kimchi fried rice and different types of fish as my favorites . I even chose this place to eat vs restaurants because the food is great at a fraction of the cost and you don't have to tip 🤷

This H Mart is a great spot for Asian groceries, conveniently located in the basement of the building—just take the escalator down. While the store isn’t very big, they make excellent use of the space, stocking a wide variety of Asian ingredients, snacks, and essentials. They also have fresh produce like fruits, which is a nice bonus. Whether you’re looking for specialty items or just picking up a quick grocery run, this H Mart has a solid selection despite its smaller size. A great stop for anyone craving Asian goods in downtown Seattle!

Although the address is 1601 second avenue the actual front door is on Pine street. The Korean grocery store itself has an escalator going down to a basement yet it is its main area. Full of fresh produce, cooked bento meals, groceries throughout the store. We did observe various yet obscured places to eat in there. We stayed in a downtown upscale hotel but walking down to HMart was quite unnerving due to so many strung out transients we passed by near McD's. What a shame. Our cities have become. We did purchase kimbap & a salmon teriyaki veggie don bento. It hit the spot. The korean lady store employee who served us was fast & efficient. She promptly asked if we needed a bag & utensils which we did. My wife forgot to bring her bag! Lol aw she wasn't feeling up to par that we almost didn't visit. Can you believe it's our first time at a HMart? We know It won't be our last!

Seriously love this place never been to one before. Stumbled upon this place while in town. As you enter the store they have an escalator you go down- let me just say the place is huge with delicious hot/ready foods, lots of food items/desserts I've seen on TikTok. I plan on going back to tour the other part of the store. There's also seats downstairs/upstairs to eat your food if you choose to stay. Going down all the aisles everything is so clean/organized. What a fun & cute store, can't wait to go back.

Compared to the other H Mart locations, this one is definitely a lot smaller. The aisles and everything are kind of tight so I can't imagine what it would be like during peak hours. They do, however, have a lot of different options and the usual items. Not bad, but also not the worst.

Whether you have a Tooth H or a Tummy H, you can find something to make you feel better here at H Mart. It's expensive, yes, and it's smaller than most H Marts because it's in the very centre of downtown Seattle's core, but how awesome is it to have an H Mart right here. We come here whenever we're strolling around inner Seattle, and we have lots of good things to say about it. Anyway I have to go, I have a Head H.

Nice to know that there is a H Mart conveniently located in downtown Seattle for those who live nearby or need to make a quick stop for Asian groceries. This store is relatively small compared to other locations but it has most of everything you are looking for from hot foods to produce and frozen items. I would definitely pick and choose on what to buy since some things in here are pricer and can be bought somewhere else. Customer service definitely needs some work. Workers aren't very friendly and helpful.

it's a cramped store but that's probably because there's sooo much to choose from. This store has a lot to offer, including hot food and good customer service.

I would not come to this location before closing -- got one of the worst service ever at this particular location here in Seattle. I came with my friends to shop for a few convenience items, including ramen, Ramune, and more. While I did appreciate the variety of items that they did have, the service was really what threw me off and made me hot headed. First off, I have an absolute right to walk through the rows buying groceries 25 minutes before y'all close your doors... so that to me is non-negotiable. You also do not give me and my friends bitch faces and tell us to "buy our items and get out of the store" just because you want to close the store early due to lack of people in the store. There is a close time FOR A REASON -- if you were such a good communicator, PLEASE state that on your paper announcement IF YOU ARE GOING TO CLOSE EARLY LOL. In addition, we were intimidated by the security officer who was standing either by the inside of the store, or by the escalators. That made me and my friends feel absolutely threatened and we did not appreciate it at all. I wish there was a 0-star option, but 2 will do for now as I don't recommend staying there for long. Absolutely horrible service but awesome options -- even their hot convenience lunches where it.

This Hmart is a short walk from Pike Place Market. Stopped by to grab a few items before going on a cruise. You have to take the escalator down and they have bunch of items similar to other Hmarts.

I think this is the third underground grocery store I've been to? But who keeps track of that ahaha We saw this place on the way to Pike Place, and decided to stop by to grab drinks before returning to the hotel. Take the escalator or elevator down to the lower level. Street parking only. There are a couple of garages nearby. Since this is a mini H-Mart, keep expectations low if you're a suburbanite. No Paris Baguette or Tous les Jours here. Not enough space for meat counters or live seafood tanks. They stick to the basics: produce, grab-and-go prepared meals, drinks, instant noodles, snacks, packaged proteins, frozen food, condiments, side dishes, and limited kitchenware items. Which is good enough for city dwellers who live within walking distance. Maybe it's all you need. It's slightly better than H Mart Manhattan. That one had cramped aisles, pricier items (understandably), and no soju. Seattle has (relatively) reasonable prices and there's enough room to navigate a shopping cart. No bakery or food court here unfortunately. By the way, H Mart locations in the Pacific Northwest (https://www.hmartus.com) operate separately from the main H Mart brand most people are familiar with (https://www.hmart.com). So their rewards system (H-point) is not compatible with the Smart Rewards card.

This is a smaller H Mart located in Downtown Seattle on Pine St, just a few steps from the nearby Pike Place Market. I was staying nearby and came in here for some snacks. I checked out the other aisles and saw that even though it was a smaller store, they still had a very good selection. They even have a section near the entrance with prepared food and banchan. Prices were also very reasonable. I'll definitely continue to stop in here for snacks and stuff in my future trips to Seattle.

My first stop in Seattle was Hmart to stock up on snacks for the hotel, and I was happy to find one nearby! I was curious to see how it compared to the Hmarts in New York and was a bit surprised by the lack of banchan options here. That said, they had a great selection of snacks, prepared foods, and drinks, so it still made for a solid grocery stop.

The smallest HMart I've ever been to. We are so lucky to have it in our neighborhood. It's our go-to grocery shopping spot.

Wow, I'm really impressed that we happened onto this Asian market on a chilly, rainy day! The store has everything and is immaculate! Fresh veggies, hot takeout, and EVERY Asian food item imaginable! And a HUGE assortment of alcoholic beverages! The pricing are quite reasonable, and the personnel was very polite. View the accompanying photo!

Consider me a fan. I had heard many times about H Mart, but I had never seen one in person until I went to Seattle. My best friend lives downtown and this was so conveniently placed near his place. They have everything there. Produce, meat, frozen foods, spices, and a whole lot of Asian snacks. Oh, and even gifts like teapot sets and booze. What's not to like? Not to mention that they're following COVID-19 protocol heavily, so you feel safe. I mean, the place is pristine pretty much.

May be I am missing something but I am not able to gauge how this store has such high ratings. I went there today for the first time for grocery shopping and do not plan to return again. So many items in their store had fungus infestation. They had placed fungus infested papaya wrapped in a paper and were selling it for 99cents. Why not throw it away? I paid $6 for three nectarines and they were completely wilted on the outside and black from the outside - ideally this is also Somethonf that they should thrown out given it's not consumable. I was charged $1.4 for two non organic bananas ( most stores have them for 25 cents each). Most of their vegetables were not fresh and I couldn't pick anything except for May be a small packet of green beans. Everything including the quality of the groceries, pricing, and selection was bad May be this place is not a grocery shopping place and their other items are better. But I didn't try the other aisles. My review is primarily for the grocery section.

Wide selection of many Asian grocery staples. I love going through all the snacks here! The hot foods are also very good :) We went here to pick up some groceries and got dinner from the hot food selections. The only reason it's 4 stars for me is because I find the groceries are pricier.

This store is clean and the employees are helpful. There is a wide selection to choose from and all the shelves are fully stocked. The to-go meals are delicious and are a great portion. There is so much to choose from, it can be hard to decide on what to get next! The location is convenient in downtown and is a must go to for Korean items.

Cramped, dark and underground. Weird selection of foods and drinks that make little sense (White Claw cocktails but not a single bag of Kettle chips). Almost a total lack of navigation/orientation signage, and perhaps most disturbingly, very few fire exit markers seen. The security guard in full kit only added to the dystopian and unsafe vibes. Did not at all like the experience shopping here and doubt we would ever return here.

Conveniently located close to Pike Place and has all the Asian conveniences you could ask for, including "grab and go" meals. Coming from California, I am familiar with the store and it was a welcome sight in a touristy, downtown area. We were exhausted and decided to pick up some "grab n go" meals instead of restaurant dining that evening. We got bulgogi with rice, salmon steak donburi, and spicy pork and rice. The food was satisfying. The store was neatly organized, brightly lit and clean. Easy to navigate through the aisles and find things. Definitely worth the stop, if you need to pick up any Asian groceries. The downside was on my visit was the cashier, an older gentleman. Another group of shoppers was ahead of us in a poorly designated "queue" and he snaps at us to say the line is "that way" pointing to the direction on his left. As I was paying for our groceries, I said "wait, I have an H-Mart card" and he says we don't accept those here. When asked why, he didn't respond. The cashier seemed to be having a bad day or something. Just be wary when shopping here, you may not end up with the best customer service.

I love H Mart, I frequent this location a lot. They have a huge selection of Korean snacks, drinks, food, etc. They also sell other Asian countries' snacks too! They also have a great selection of prepackaged meats/ food that you can cook yourself for Korean BBQ. They have a great Korean deli selection where I like to get my lunch from sometimes. Oh yeah! They also sell Bbq Chicken And Pub's fried chicken in the hot deli section! It's one of my favorite thing to pick up for lunch.

Best asian grocery store in downtown Seattle. Close to pike market so you can get your asian snack fix without having to go to the ID or deal with the rude woman that runs oriental mart at pike market. the prices are extremely reasonable, fresh with a clean store that is always staffed properly. the grab and go selection is always fresh and it's never the same so you always have different options.

Great selection of Korean food in downtown Seattle. A little overwhelming to choose which Ramen is the best seeing they have so many. A small selection of heated foods, Katsu, chicken, kimchi, etc. If you're in the Korean food, or would like to be come check this place out.

Very clean store. Great selection of fresh produce that is not available at the local grocery store. Prices are pretty good on most items. Staff members are pretty rude and unfriendly, but honestly that does not bother me that much. I go there to shop not make friends anyway.

I get their grab & go food fairly often for dinner & it's cheap & tasty. They also have a decent beer & wine selection. Lots of great, cheap Asian groceries & produce that I've enjoyed experimenting with in the kitchen. Service is friendly. There's usually some cool music blaring too.

I love H Mart! This was the perfect spot to pickup snacks, some prepared meals and drinks on my visit to Seattle. They had everything I wanted.

Wow we stumbled into this asian market on a cold rainy day and wow I couldn't be more impressed! The store is super clean, and has everything! Hot take away food, fresh produce, and EVERY asian food product known to man! Oh and a HUGE selection of alcohol! The staff were super friendly too and the prices are very affordable. See attached pic!

This market is full of different Japanese products. They have already made prepackaged food and so many different dishes. So many I can't name them all. Lots of candies, sodas, noodles, ramans and just everything you can think Japanese. We stocked up of a few drinks for our cruise. Place is so cute and if you like Japanese stuff you have to come in and shop. Very nice store and not small at all. There's even a area inside to sit and eat or dr

I've been to a few H Marts, primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area, and this place does a decent job for being downtown. Yeah, there's no parking, and it's small, but that's fine for us, who tend to walk around this area anyway. We did park down the street on one of our visits, and if you're not going to shop for a really long time, you should be fine parking on the street. Overall the selection for such a small store had the basics and then some; we primarily grabbed some exotic fruits, noodles, soju, sake, proteins, kimchi, and seaweed. We did notice the grab'n'go options were few and far between, but for our needs, we were happy with the selection of this store. I wouldn't do all of our grocery shopping here exclusively, but it's suitable for some Asian food prep essentials, IMO. This location will be a go-to for us in the future. It's worth a visit!

It's great to have an Asian grocer and market in downtown Seattle. H Mart is widely known and reputable. They have a good selection and good quality. Also, the store is clean and well organized.

Smaller than what I expected (compared to SF Bay Area). It is underground. Grocery price sticker shock but likely on part for the area. Great thing is the ready-made foods if you are in between on eating fast food and going out for casual dining. They have sitting area where you can make the food hot using the microwave ( most food under heat lamps) ao warm already)

H-Mart has opened up in downtown Seattle!!! It's about a good 8 min arm pumping power walk from where i work, it's located on 2nd & Pine, on the Pine side. Newly renovated building, nice looking, you should't be able to miss it, it's kinda next to that cupcake place. I think where the old Nordstrom Rack used to be, I don't know exactly but that's what I heard. You'll see it. Go down the escalator....you are there! Anyways, came by a few times for lunch, did a grab & go once, then the next time I ate lunch in their little sitting area. The few times I came in mainly focusing on their already prepared lunch bowls. They got some different selections from tempura items, gyozas, different don-bowls, sushi roll types, poke items or you can buy produce and meat if you want to cook at your office. Space inside is larger than I thought, a lot of aisles with a bunch of stuff for you, good sized snack section with items I've never seen before, good amount of drinks in the drinks section, household items, personal items, alcohol, frozen section, it's basically a full on grocery store. As mentioned, they have a small eating area, like 6 tables and a high top table to stand at, I have no problem asking people if they can share their table. Prices aren't too shabby for lunch, about the going rate as I thought...+/- $1 or so. Staff is friendly and helpful, check out was fast and definitely a spot I'll be coming to on a frequent basis. Paper bag rules apply, so bring a bag or wear a big jacket and cargo pants. Glad H-Mart is in downtown!

Clean space and the Grab & Go section has great food selection and yummy!! Price is reasonable to me and they have a little space behind the cashier where you could eat your meal if you want to which we did. It has probably about 4-5 tables. Very small. Come when it's not busy.

I cannot believe there was an H Mart located so close to our hotel!! we stocked up on Asian drinks and snacks and found a cute pair of Hello Kitty socks as well! I feel like I've never seen them anywhere except for the bay area so to me, this was a complete shock. The check out was super quick and service was really friendly. Everything was really clean and organized.

Pretty convenient, when we're too lazy to cook and less than a block away. Their deli selection is always fresh, and it's 30% off after 6PM I believe. It is priced a bit higher than other Korean stores you'd come across in Federal Way or Lynnwood, but that's just DT prices. There's no parking; there's 3 minute parking, on Pine if you know you'll be in and out. But if not, you'd have a better chance finding street parking on surrounding streets. I'd say try Stewart St or 2nd Ave. Try their bulgogi bibimbap! Bomb.com (What did the Korean robot say? Bibimbap!) Definitely satisfies my needs when I'm feeling homesick.

A nice alternative to their location near Whole Foods (and minus a hill to climb), especially if you're spending the day in the area doing errands. The layout is similiar to their other locations: they offer a hot food area for grab & go (rice dishes, meat, kimchi and seafood pancakes, etc.), produce aisles, fruit, frozen, prepared meals, etc. Unless they have a specialty fruit or vegetable, try to avoid buying any fruits or vegetables here as they're priced significantly higher. They offer brown bags ($0.05 per) should you need them, however do specify how many bags as the employees may double bag your items and charge you for the extra bag you didn't ask for. They have a small area to eat at (next to the registers), and a microwave should you opt to eat-in. The alcohol is priced relatively the same as some of the nearby liquor stores (and stores selling alcohol like Target or CVS).

Small but clean HMart, I was walking to Pikeplace market so decided to check it out. To go food, u can pick up bucket of chicken with Korean seasoning, hot food options: Korean pancakes, chef special, rice bowls. Cold to go food like sushi, poke bowl, and many more options. It can be pricy than other Asian markets that is not in downtown.

Why are you selling things that are supposed be kept frozen in the refrigerator section?

Wanted to try this place because we had a layover for a cruise. Went and got the pork belly, sesame chicken and don don meals for myself, my fiancee and my grandmother. I also got an off brand soda (forgot the flavor) that was good as well. We toured the stored, while I am not a connoisseur at Asian groceries it seemed to have a wide selection of items.

The H Mart in downtown Seattle is in a prime location. The staff is always extremely helpful and fast and check out and the security is super friendly. The store is also clean and orderly. The selections is great at H Mart and they are the only place open on major holidays. I recommend stopping by and grabbing a to go meal or some unique snacks!

It is New Year's Eve in Seattle, Washington, we are staying at a hotel nearby, and we are walking. We needed some Chinese food and some drinks to help us celebrate the new year. This is a convenient location that had everything we needed. Of course H Mart caters more to Korean taste, but my Chinese wife is very content to purchase items From H Mart as they always have a good selection of Asian food and nice staff to help you find things you're looking for.

Well!!! Downtown Seattle is well downtown Seattle. This is at the downtown core. Rent gotta be so expensive!! But I'm glad they are here. Asian grocery story right smack in the middle of the city, right next to pike place market. It's cool. The cleanliness of this place alone is 4 stars for me. Usually Asian grocery stores I've been to aren't the cleanest: or this neat and pretty. This place is actually pretty: hardwood floors. Super tidy shelves. It's awesome. Food is Korean mostly from what I saw. I don't know most of them but they all look good. And that one bag of chips I got! $19 for a bag of chips but it was salted egg yolk chips. Delicious! They also for some reason have the cheapest fresh peppers in town. Usually I pay $17 for habaneros but they have them for $1-$5 here! Crazy. Even tried their tofu hotpot items. It was prepackaged with fresh tofu, soup base and all. Pretty delicious! The only draw back for this place is current downtown situation: not as safe even during the day with covid. A lot of cracked out hobos. And no parking anywhere close to hear so you do have to walk. Just don't go at night! Friendly staff too.

Not your average H Mart. We bought some Bulgogi and Galbi from the hot foods section. The quality was not good. The meat was so dry and chewy. The Bulgogi had small bits of bones chopped in, so had to be very careful while eating. On top of that, the prices were very expensive! My recommendation is to make the trek out to Uwajimaya. We went there a few days later, and had a much better experience.

Love that this store is basically always open, especially when other places close so quickly. However, the workers in charge of making the hot foods were in a seriously bad mood. When asking for an extra container from them, they all scowled and said no. No? It's only one container and it we were buying one of there hot food options (the salmon was not very fresh). We ended up getting a container from another girl on the other side of the store but my gosh! Don't talk to the workers!

Very small market. standard hot food options, nice veggie, snack and fruit selections.

It has variety but don't expect too much variety since it is smaller compared to their other stores, such as the one of Federal Way. Its best feature is the location. It is the only Asian grocery store in Downtown Seattle. For that I need to give it props.

I love this place so much. The only other H marts I've been to are the huge one in GA, and the small one in U district. Of course nothing can compare to the mega H mart down south but there almost nobody spoke English- which is totally fine, but this one has super helpful staff and was a lot easier to navigate because I could ask questions! It's a good thing that I don't live closer, else I'd eat twice my body weight in red bean Mochi and doriyaki. Only complaint I have is that it doesn't have the impressive skincare section that the one in U district does, but it does have a lot more produce than that one so it definitely evens out for me.

Very nice grocery in the midst of downtown. It's much smaller than any Hmart I've been to in Seattle or LA area, but they do really have a lot. Produce is fresh and priced well and there is a hot food bar for meals to go. The ice cream section only had Dreyers and Hagan Daz, not the plentious imports with exotic Asian fruits and flavors. The store was very clean and modern and felt like a little European market. It was fun to take the escalator down to the subterranean store. I scored a box of delicious, ripe mangoes for a great price and the largest papaya I've over seen in all my adventures.

Excellent supermarket for our touristy needs and probably for locals too! It's close to our hotel, has long operating hours, and fully stocked with cooked foods, convenient ready-to-cook foods, fresh produce, instant noodles, drinks, and a wide selection of frozen products. I don't think I've seen so many different Korean-style instant noodles on one shelf! Or soju. Or banchan. Or drinks. But even though it's an Asian supermarket, they also stock non-Asian stuff. The first time we came in was to pick up a quick and convenient dinner for the kid. We found the cooked/prepared food section right away as we went down the escalator. The first night we bought one tuna mayo onigiri (rice ball/musubi) and some drinks. The kid inhaled the musubi so quickly that the hubs returned to get another. The ratio of rice to tuna and mayo was just nice, the nori was fresh, but the rice was a tad hard, which is probably why it's marked down 30% off. We also tried the fried fishcake banchan. It was too spicy to be enjoyable although we finished it! I think with some shoyu/soy sauce it would taste better for me! Tonight we came back and bought all the remaining tuna mayo musubi (also for our in-flight meal tomorrow, hopefully they'll still be edible!!), the spam kimchi, and bulgogi musubi. We also got the California roll, it was ok, the rice was a little dry. The hubs also picked up a spicy pork don, which was surprisingly good! The pork was tender, sweet, and spicy. It was a little oily though, and the rice was a little hard as well. I got a pack of mini seafood pancakes which were dried out (don't get those!) But still a good deal if you're looking for a quick grab and go meal. Note: Utensils or napkins aren't provided. The Korean (presumably the owner) lady cashier is super friendly and welcoming! Both times that we came in close to closing time, she's smiley and courteous.

This place is awesome! They have a ton of items and the sushi looked great! Check it out
