H Mart

Visited Hmart in Federal Way, which is a large store with a wide variety of fresh produce and Korean groceries. It’s located in a part of town that’s not the most desirable, and you’ll likely notice some homeless activity nearby. Please keep valuables out of sight when stepping in as I have heard many people getting their car broken into and mugged in the past. Regardless the parking is plentiful, and shopping carts are always available, which is a plus. Right at the entrance, there’s a security guard on duty. This is something I personally appreciate as it shows an effort to address safety concerns. The layout inside is straightforward and easy to navigate. One big downside is the restroom as it is surprisingly tiny considering the size of the store. While the selection of fruits and veggies is excellent, the checkout process really tests your patience. It gets busy fast and feels disorganized. Still, if you go in knowing what to expect, it’s worth the visit. Efficient: No First-Time Friendliness: No Would I Return: Yes JY review

Absolutely 100% authentic Korean food—I love this place and come here all the time! They have the tastiest sweet potatoes, Korean rice cakes, and kimchi, plus tons of ready-to-eat dishes you can take home for a quick and delicious dinner. Unique, super clean, and seriously amazing food!👍👍

Overall, H-Mart is more than just a grocery store—it’s a global food destination that makes shopping fun, flavorful, and inspiring. Highly recommend for anyone who loves to eat well and explore new tastes!

This store is unbelievable! They offer the freshest seafood. There are so many different varieties you can't even count. I love cooking Korean dishes, so anything and I mean anything, I can find it at H-mart. Their produce is wonderful and it's all so organized! I would probably shop there daily if it weren't so far away. I also want to mention that they have appliances, grills, and very lovely dishes and cutlery. Even there chopsticks are amazing if you want to level up. I can't say enough good things about!!

Always love going to H-Mart! They have so many tasty variety of snacks, vegetables, fruits, noodles, etc. that you can't find at your typical grocery store. I also love their bakery and food court! The aisles can feel a bit tight but if that's my only complaint, they're doing something great.

Never disappointed. Always go to Korean market when i am around. Fish cake was delicious. This fish cake is very popular in Korea. I was shocked when I saw this place in WA. Highly recommend

By far best HMart in Washington. Variety and selection is great. Love the ready made food. Great for when you’re in a jiffy and need something cheap and quick.

05/02/2025 I like the noodles and sausage at this store but wish they get their price straight. The noodle for example listed $7.49, but always rung up close to $9.00. ========== H-Mart is a decent Korean grocery store in Federal Way, Washington. The store has a good selection of fruits and vegetables. There is also fresh sushi and several aisles of ramen noodles. I usually go for instant coffee, veggies, fruits, and sushi. The meat can be a little pricey, and I want to share the truth based on my experience. Kimchi is good, but I have gotten broken red plastic in the kimchi container before. So, please enjoy with care. Seafood-wise, if you buy the live ones, it is better than the ones that are dead and packaged and makes it looks nice. For example, I’ve got some dead lobster and blue crabs in the past, they packed nicely, but when I got home to cook for my wife, they smelled rotten. I took it back to customer service, and they refunded the portion that I didn’t throw in the garbage. By the way, I posted tons of quality pictures of the store’s fresh produce, but the H-Mart owner took them all down. No idea why. Additional Info: The bathroom is dirty and full of graffiti, and there's no toilet paper for the customers to use.

We went to this store on Monday, 10/21/24. Browsed around and picked up what we needed, then got some hot deli pre-packaged food items for lunch: Beef Bulgogi with Rice, and a Spicy Spam and Egg rice. Saw they had Buldak Dumplings and new XL Hot & Spicy Ramen!!! Guess they got bigger instant ramen sizes now. Our shopping experience was pleasant for the most part. Did encounter some inconsiderate people while pushing the cart around. But overall, we liked seeing a variety of food items, produce and snacks. General atmosphere was alright to walk around in.

i used to love going to hmart because they have a lot of nice products BUUUT when we went there a while ago to get a refund, we were straight up disrespected by the korean aunties in the customer service desk. long story short, they said they won't refund my purchase and threw the receipt back at us. super mean. i won't be coming back anymore. they're not good for my mental health.

It's not the biggest or cleaniest H Mart, but it has a good inventory and fresh produce, and good discount almost every day (except Tuesday and Wednesday) of the week. Best time to come is before 11:30 and after 2PM on weekday lunch time if you can. My go-to is kimbap for lunch and banchans. It's also a great place for snacks and drinks.

It really pains me to write this review. I love H Mart. I have guided many friends to H Mart to get Asian food. However, they really wronged me and, frankly, I'm quite annoyed. I bought a bag of Royal Blossom Thai Jasmine Rice - the shelf tag clearly says RB Jasmine Rice 20lbs $18.99. I get rung up - it scans at $29.99. I tell the clerk the tag says $18.99 and she talks to a worker in Spanish and then says to me - he said that's the wrong one. So I ask the guy if I can show him the shelf and tag. We go there - there is a stack of Royal Blossom rice above the tag. He says "That's not for that rice that's for this one..." and he peels the tag off the shelf and puts it in front of the Dragonfly rice. I tell him that makes no sense since RB clearly stands for "Royal Blossom" not "Dragonfly." He won't budge and just keeps telling me I'm wrong. Well, the receipt also shows "RB Thai Jasmine Rice" so, how can I be wrong?!?! I guess the point is to check your receipt even though it may be of no use since they won't budge anyhow...

Large variety of fresh veggies and fruits. The fresh fish selection had many varieties to choose from. I also like their house ware department, lots of different frozen foods available. If you are looking for instant Asian noodle brands this is the store to check, not only Korean brands but Japanese, Chinese and Thai to name a few. Store is maintained well. Staff is efficient and courteous, However, prices compared to other Asian markets is generally more.

We'd lived in Korea for 3 years, and when I first stepped in H mart, I didn't expect too much. My mind still compared the prices between Korea vs U.S. and surprised the prices in U.S. are nearly double (It should be normal, but then kids were gone crazy to buy the foods they used to eat, I had to choose what we need carefully) However, comparing to the local Asian markets, H mart still has the most variates. We just couldn't resist for banana/ strawberry milks which we used to buy cases instead of 6 in a pack, soondae (pork blood sausage), Kirin sweet honey pancakes ( we used to snack when on the road trips), of course the crazy cool mint gums was also necessary plus some stupid frozen snacks. The same night, we started to eat most of the foods and I had to make sure to get some more before leaving the area (we live little distance from Seattle). When we come back Seattle, will make sure to stop by again for our favorites snacks. Highly recommend to stop by and find groceries you used to buy in Korea, or if you are curious about Korean food. Note: Tous Les Jours is in the corner, but bakeries and cakes didn't attract us too much, not sure whether most of popular items were gone before 5pm. We will make sure to check out next time as well!

The store itself have good enough stuff, but the cashier that helps us today was not the best, we got deli food and I also purchased some raw meat chicken, she put the cooked food and raw food on top of each other... who does that?! Like she could've just put them near each other but not on top.... She was at register 6 around 6pm today

This H Mart has a Korean deli making fresh Gimbap. If you're in a rush there's premade ones too. They have the time it was made showing its freshness. Weekly deals from Tuesday to Thursday.

I haven't been H Mart in a long time. I came around 3 pm, but the store was not so busy. The store is clean and has a lot of products. While looking at the store, I ended up shopping for this and that, loll. I wanted to buy green onions because price was reasonable, but they weren't fresh. I bought poke salad and Kimbab for dinner, but I was disappointed because the taste was not so good. Kimbab (Korean veggies roll-sushi) rice was dry and less taste. But I enjoyed shopping in the H-M. I would like to eat in the store next time.

This was my first time at this location, I usually go to the one in Tacoma. I will say I like this one much better. Way bigger! Pricey if you go in hungry. I went in to get kimchi and $126 later through the check out then $12 at the fish cake stand in there ( my daughter got a cheese corn dog. She said it was delicious) and another $12 at the Seaoul Bakery I spent more than i intended. If you love Kimbap like I do you'll like their selection. And they have huge selection of side dishes and hot food to grab and go. Store workers were friendly especially in the bakery. I'll be switching to this location now for grocery trips.

Although this is a Korean supermarket, you can find an array of other items from other countries. There's a seafood section where you can pick live or frozen seafood, there's also sashimi grade salmon which is my go to for sushi nights! Today we shopped for a Korean BBQ night and as you can tell there's plenty of options for marinated or even non-marinated (non)spicy meats. Picked up various Kim chi items, Soju, and Yakult! We will often grab things for Shabu Shabu or hot pot. HMart is cheaper than Uwajimaya (a Japanese supermarket). There are produce or products you won't find anywhere else like your average QFC, Safeway, or Fred Meyer's. Additionally, there is a bakery, fish cake kiosk, additionally, a few restaurants inside this HMart.

I've definitely got so used to shopping in Hmart for meats in Hawaii, and I was so glad to find that Hmart was so close to me in federal way. The parking is pretty good, but it could get busy as it's surrounded by so many great shops. Hmart is full with meats, Asian chips, and other goods. These photos I posted with this review is stuff I had when I was a little boy. I was so happy to see these because it's been YEARS. I plan to go back and make a new review when I try the ready to eat foods. It also smells like a typical Asian market, and reminds me so much of my childhood.

I never have a problem finding what I need at this store since the isles are reasonably placed and straightforward. I usually go in during opening hours, however the one time I went during its busiest, the lines to check out were still quick. Usually, the employees keep to themself and won't engage in conversation unless you come to ask them a question.

First time shopping here and was a bit disappointed. Hard to maneuver around with some of their aisles crowded. The workers here are not as friendly and block some shelves even if you ask them politely. Beware of some customers that would ram you with their shopping carts or bulldoze their way through with not much care. Items are a bit pricey and the frozen meats look a bit old.

If you need korean based food HMart is great, they have everything you would need for a good meal or even random household things you might not have needed. I just bought some onigiri molds and a mandolin to help me with slicing. I also come here once a week to restock on my seaweed and essentials.

The H-mart store itself was just average, but the food area towards the back of the store was awesome. There is a bakery and a couple restaurants and a lot of prepared food here. The amount of prepared food here was AWESOME. I think some of the best I've seen for H-marts honestly (i've been to mostly east coast and midwest H-marts). A great selection of items available ready to eat. A lot of people came for lunch and bought these items. If i lived here, i would do the same. Check that part out!

This is the only closest Korean supermarket near my house in Bonney Lake. I always go here to find my Korean bbq meat and side dish cravings. Parking is always easy to find because I really avoid to go shopping during rush hours on weekdays and holiday occasions. My favorite go-to sections are the deli and the sliced meat section.

H Mart... there's only so much to say about a grocery store. I can tell you that this particular store has so many different things that I am dying to try, but I can only eat so much in a day. My kids love to come here and try new snacks and random candies they've never seen before and I like to try their different dumplings and potstickers. My partner loves to cook and she loves to try new things, this place is perfect for variety and just about any asian style food you can think of. They also have so much Sake, more than any place else.

Beware!!! This store sells a lot of expired items. Check expiration before buying cause they are not friendly and helpful. They will argue and claim that you buy items somewhere else and go back to return it.

I find so many people complain about this place that it's not big it's not very clean it's not very classy. Well, keep in mind is a foreign grocery store chain in the United States and it looks exactly like every single one you go to in an Asian country. I have found every staff person I've met to be respectful, helpful, and kind. They carry an amazing amount of Asian foods at reasonable prices. They have a fantastic, fresh food section and also fresh fish. If you want amazing bakery items, go here. Just take your time and immerse yourself in this grocery store to see what they have and you will find so many wonderful things that will open you to new food ideas in your life.

This place has serious customer service problems. Very often their cashiers will not greet you in anyway and remain silent as they scan your items. The main korean restaurant at the food court also has this issue where the ajumma simply stared at me refusing to acknowledge me in any way. I can assure you this is not a cultural thing, if anything Korea traditionally has very strict rules on greeting and acknowledging customers which the korean manager of this Hmart and most of their employees don't follow. This Hmart only hires bitter ajummas who seem to hate working there and don't even care if they lose customers.

check everything you buy before using. this was in a sealed package of the marinated pork butt. when i opened it, i found a moth on the meat.

Ima tell you there are huge differences between the downtown Seattle, Bellevue, and Federal Way H Mart locations. The Federal Way H Mart is my favorite and has always been my go-to for Korean groceries. Bellevue and downtown Seattle were just locations I went to out of convenience. I went to the Bellevue location because my dentist was in the vicinity. Bellevue had my favorite banchans in stock but the last time I visited a staff member was watching me in the meat section. Super creepy. They must have a lot of people who steal Korean BBQ meat. I was like, "Nope, this gonna be the last time I come here! Y'all don't trust your customers." I also changed dentists so it all worked out. I went to the downtown location because I worked downtown. Before H Mart moved in it used to be the basement of Nordstrom Rack. H Mart was new, flashy, and modern but because the space was small the inventory was limited and it was super crammed during the lunch and after work rush. Then work sent me home last March so there was no reason for me to go there anymore. The aisles in Federal Way are pretty spacious but I go early in the morning. I've made the mistake of going after 12pm and there's just so many people and all my favorite banchans are gone by then. I don't know why they have the Gimbap by the cash registers. Why....WHY? Lol They need to put it near the deli area instead of putting it on some random table in the middle of the store. I mean, I've been here enough times to know where it is now but still. They have good produce and staff are continuously stocking the shelves. If you go later on in the day just know the parking lot can be a hot mess so brace yourself.

My go-to for Korean foods! I especially love the deli and the fresh kimbap. They have spicy marinated raw crab on Saturdays currently. Not sure if it's other days as well.

I stoped by this location today and I was glad to see B.B.Q Chicken in H Mart in federal way. I bought secret sauce and hot spicy chicken. They were so tasty but spicy is really spicy than I expected.

One of the best H Mart's around this area. The have multiple restaurants inside and they're all good! They had larb seasoning which I have looked for for SO LONG. Glad I ran to this store

Really great, quite large Korean grocery store in Federal Way. It's been a long time since I've been to the H mart, but I when I needed a very specific Korean item I knew exactly where I needed to go! H Mart is basically the same I remember it - huge selection of grocery items, definitely great of Korean items, but they also have the same stuff you'd expect to find in an Asian grocery store - including the "western food" aisle :-P Store is kept clean, prices are reasonable, and the staff is friendly enough - definitely a great place to go if you're in the area, and perhaps worth traveling a bit for depending on what you're looking for.

One of the chain speciality grocery stores around. They cater to Asian and Island consumers primarily. Varied seafood source. I'm impressed by their selection of wild caught fish and other seafood. Wild caught is slightly expensive than farm raised seafood. They have various different types greens and vegetables. Cookware and dishes of different types are available as well. I do wish they had more or larger organic section. They didn't used to have any organic produce but in the past year, they have started a small section with organic greens. They do not compost. Most foods are purchased from farmers who mass produce and use quick growth fertilizers, therefore these produce lack the natural taste and are not necessarily healthy for us. Meats are not organic and free range either. They do lack customer service, there could more more staff helping out with questions etc.

My fav of the H Marts in the Seattle area as it is the only one I can find Fathers Hill Blueberry Preserves as. I will gladly go 20 minutes to drive here for a few jars of that. Whenever I am here I love to wander and see what else is interesting that I might not have tried and usually spend way more than I should but its sooo worth it.

this place has lots of over-priced items. The other thing is the cashiers are rude, sometimes they don't bag for me. I felt it's poorly managed place that just want to squeeze money out of customers and not caring about the customers.

I bought Orion Choco-Pie days ago. The price was not bad, $2.99 and the expiration date was still months away. However the pie is very very dry so I can't enjoy it. What is wrong with this product or the expiration date?

Food selection & groceries were good, service of the staff was bad. The people working inside the grocery were rude and unhelpful, very disappointed in their customer service. Especially that lady working on the side selling those korean pancakes, i was only asking for chopstick idk why she had to mock me for it. Nevertheless, they have great stocks and options for asian food, ingredients , etc

I barely write a bad review for any business but I have no choice after what the unprofessional security guy did to my mom and my aunt. They went to the bakery inside Hmart to buy some pastries and exited via the exit by Shared Tea. The security guy (hispanic looking with a mustache - he wouldn't tell us his name when my aunt FaceTime us) stopped them and accused them of stealing. He was rude and disrespectful. My mom and aunt even showed a receipt to proof that they paid. Thank God for technology, they FaceTime us for help since their English is limited. They were defenseless and vulnerable. Especially with the anti-asian hate that is going on in America. That was very traumatized for them. The security guy then refused to apologize when he realized he made a mistake. Good thing one of the cashier recognized my mom because we are one of a long time customers. I will contact the management team at Hmart to find out the name of that security guy.

First and probably only time going to this store. We stopped there to stock up on some sauces and just browse. As soon as you go in the smell of fish hits you. Good thing I like fish, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stay. Produce was amazing, so was their selection of noodles, sauces and cookware. Quite honestly I'd skip the seafood and meats, the display cases looked shabby. Some of the prepared hot foods were not kept hot enough, having worked food service I know how dangerous this can be so I'd skip those too. Don't know if they were restocking but there were so many boxes stacked up in the middle of aisles, blocking shelves.

This Korean girl needs food from the motherland to fuel her. And H-Mart is a big Korean grocery store stocked with everything I need to make all kinds of Korean dishes! Red pepper/gochujang paste, sesame oil, kimchi, shin ramen, soft tofu, barley tea bags, frozen mandu, guksu, soju. The produce section is immense and has all kinds of fruits and veggies - Korean melons, Korean squash, potatoes, carrots, cilantro, enoki mushrooms, onions, apples, Korean chives, lettuce, daikon/radish/mu - the list goes on and on! They also have a deli section that sells pre- made things like soon-dae, fried rice, fried fish. Closer to the cash registers they have kimbap and Korean rice cakes! Over to the left hand side of the store, there is a small food court, including a Korean bakery. I haven't tried any of that food yet but love that I have the option of eating so close by. It's a little far from where I live but if I'm in the area I try to make a stop here at the giant H-Mart to stock up!

12/04/21(Yesterday), I dropped by H-Mart in Federal Way, WA to pick up some grocery. Checking out, the store cashier gave me "Yakult(5-27 FL OZ probiotic drink)" to express "Thanks to Customers." When I got home and felt thirsty, I drank one of them of which taste was rotten and terrible. Then, I check the expiration date was 12/04/21. The store gave customers the Yakult that will be dumped to Trash Can several hours later. It was DISGUSHING!! In addition, products, mostly fruit and vegetable are C class and poor quality and not fresh.

Such a huge selection of asian goods! This place is located in the Pavilions Centre and has many great places around there too! They have a huge selection of ramen and many other snacks, and they're all so delicious too. The produce is also priced fairly. If you're looking for any asian snacks and etc. this is definitely the place to get it. Some smaller asian stores can be confusing to navigate if it's foreign to the consumer, but this seems more like a foreign friendlier place. It's still great to go to the smaller asian stores, to support their business of course, but if you don't know how to speak the language of the store you're going to, communication can be difficult. I go here very often because they have such a variety that is hard to find in some places. Definitely recommend!

Pretty good store to shop for fruits, vegetables and seafood. Just have to be careful on what you buy though. I did not have a good experience with 1) Cooked seafood such as crabs or lobster, ended up seeing broken pieces packed on the bottom very nicely and some smell kind of rotten too. 2) Kimchee -- some has broken (red plastic) inside the kimchee. Spotted it while I was eating. 3) Pork -- the one cut into cube for stew has some tiny pieces and a good amount of fat packed underneath. 4) Seaweed -- ready to eat is the latest. I spotted a pieces of plastic string while eating (picture attached)

They are so rude. We paid items and women act like we didn't pay. It is not first time they being rude to us. Watch what you say to your customers.

H-Mart is a staple for Asian food and grocery. H-Mart is primarily a Korean grocery store, but also have other Asian food there as well. The price is a little steeper compared to other Asian stores, but still nice to have around. They have samples at times so you can try out different items they have! I love their pre-made food, but they run out fast, so get there before they're out. H-Mart also has this small food court for food and bakery items. I'm not sure about H-Mart in general, but this H-Mart before has come a long way. They were messy before but not feels pretty clean! There are some flies at times in the produce section.

Great selection, large store, lots of DEALS!!! Everything is cheaper here than the bay area locations!!! Got 3 bundles of Shiso leaves for $1, this deal is unheard of now-a-days! Got a bunch of thick cut pork with skin for korean BBQ and it was an excellent price. Got everything we needed from appetizers, entrees, veggies, and dessert! Also stopped by the bakery, got the chestnut loaf of bread, and it had an amazing amount of chestnuts inside! I feel like they cheap out on chestnut at many bakeries, but NOT HERE. Would get the chestnut loaf again!

I love this Hmart it's a lot bigger than Bellevue, always super stocked & veggies are definitely cheaper/fresher than most Asian stores. I love coming here whenever we do hotpot or butter skillet, they have all the thin cut meats & seafood! I always splurge on dumplings, so far my fav is the flat kimchi dumpling, they have such a variety I must try them all! Best place to go if your looking for Korean goodies from instant noodles, to sauces they literally have it alThe kimchi is always fresh & they also have hot food ready as well. If you get a chance stop by the bakery, they have delicious baked goods & also a little Korean restaurant next to it. So much to see & buy I always take my time!

I really enjoy coming to this Hmart! The location is big and it's always well stocked, and parking is plentiful too. I wish they offered more hot and cold prepared foods, but maybe no where will ever compare to my LA Hmart experience. Nevertheless, this is a great supermarket!

This is one of our favorite Asian store that has pretty much most of the things you may need. The only down side is that sometimes it can get very messy since they are busy on most days and may not have what you need since they may ran out specially the vegetable area. They also have a food court, bakery and coffee shop. Other part is the store will have some samples to have you try it out before buying it specially the side dishes part. Parking can be difficult during busy days, but patience is the key. Most likely someone will drive away soon since people do come in and out often.

I purchased beef at H mart in federal way location. It wasn't able to eat at all. I could smell and color was dark grey in the middle of meat soon I opened package. Pack date was same date that I purchased. DO NOT BUY any meat H mart. This is my second time has experience with same store. First time I had serious daiaria for two day. There is no way to proof it but they are deceiving people to make profit with garbage quality of meat.

I always love coming here! It is a tinier market compared to some of the other H-mart. It has everything you can think of. Love going there for grab their thin sliced brisket to make hot pot at home! They also have some Korean side dishes already made for you. I enjoy eating the Japchae, my favorite! Kim chi, soy bean miso paste, big boxes of Korean spicy noodle bowls. They also have a bakery inside to get some tasty treats.

I love buying my soju and junk food here. Soju aka Korean liquor in case you didn't know. That shit will fuck you up son :) anyways, I'll drop at least $100 bucks here on a good day but not always. My cart does consist of Kim hi, junk food, honey cakes etc etc. Lol. The Hmart in federal way and lynwood is bigger and has more selections. The hmart in Tacoma is smaller :/

I bought fish taiyaki 5 for $5 which was cheap. But it was not good. The red bean filling was good and not too sweet. They gave a lot of red bean. But the pastry dough had old oil smell and soft. The shell is supposed to be crispy outside and chewy inside.

I went there to get Taiyaki, kind of like a thick Japanese fish-shaped pancake with red bean paste inside. Unfortunately it was below my expectations. The texture is soft, thin. I can smell the oil which is not pleasure. The best Taiyaki I have had is at the H mart in Diamond Bar, California. However I think the price is reasonable for the quality that you get. It is 5 pieces for $5.
