H Mart Niles

Very clean at Korean standard clean which means high. That’s why I love Hmart. Staff keep things very sanitary and good. They sell food and veges and fruit and Korean shampoo and appliances and aprons and there is also a food court. Seating for food court which closes at 7:30pm to 8:00pm while the store itself closes at 10pm. So much to try in the frozen and snacks section as well as meats and seafood. Huge free parking lot. Also a a free bathroom. And kimchi fridges and freezers and furniture also.

I visit from out of state yearly, we get a hotel nearby specifically because of this Hmart. Growing up, my family would road trip down. Now my wife and I make it a yearly tradition to visit this area of Illinois for the Korean food and goods. Do yourself a favor and set aside an afternoon to shop and get a meal from the food court. There are also mini shops around the checkout area. All have fun stuff. On your way out PLEASE stop by the Korean Mini Walnut Cake shop. If is by far my favorite treat, possibly ever. They're made with a really neat mechanical device that is hand loaded with walnuts, but the dough is added to it automatically and carried around this whimsical frying merry go-roound. They travel very well, so its great for road trips!

HMart is a complete experience, almost like being in South Korea, in terms of the food court, supermarket and the "shopping street" of small shops. The food court focuses on Korean and Korean-influenced Asian food. There is a nice bakery/coffee shop as well. Each shop has a few tables but it can get crowded at peak times. The supermarket has an extensive selection of items, again mostly Korean, but with some other Asian options. The alcohol selection is especially impressive with many kinds of adult beverages that you will not find elsewhere. The produce section also has a variety of pretty rare fruits and vegetables (durians, jackfruits, lychees, rambutans....) Unfortunately, and this applies to the food court, as well, things are definitely not cheap. No political statement intended but the current tariff regime may be adding to costs. After you pass the supermarket cash registers, you are in a "street" of Korean shops, selling snacks, cosmetics, clothes, dishware and cooking utensils, massage chairs and other unique to Korea items. There is a small video game arcade and a Korean beauty salon, as well. Pro Tip You can get discount tickets for neighbouring King Spa and Sauna here at HMall. Even if you have no interest in Korean food and even if you buy nothing in the store, it is worth a visit for the cultural experience. In my personal opinion, of course....which is the only opinion I am qualified to give😉

This is a huge hmart. It's super clean, and i love the food court. Lots of stuff to choose from. It's on the pricier side but does have great sale items too!

This Asian / Japanese grocery store is magical. Tons and tons of products from drinks, to noodles, potstickers, snacks, live and fresh fish, and don’t forget the food court which has tons of freshly made foods to eat. You could spend all day here. It is that good!:)

H Mart Niles is an excellent spot for anyone looking for authentic Asian groceries and products! The store is well-organized, clean, and offers an impressive variety of items, from fresh produce and seafood to specialty snacks and imported goods you can’t find in regular supermarkets.One of the highlights is their ready-to-eat section – the prepared meals are delicious and convenient for a quick bite or take-home dinner. The prices are reasonable considering the quality and uniqueness of the products. Customer service is friendly, and the store is spacious, making the shopping experience enjoyable. If you love cooking Asian cuisine or just want to explore new flavors, H Mart Niles is a must-visit! Highly recommended!

There were so many good things here! We stopped and got some Korean Fried Chicken after shopping and it was delicious.

Fruit looks so fresh (yes I know no pictures). Snacks bring me joy and here I go finding all the snacks. PLUS a coffee JUICE BOX! Because why not? It’s a big store with many little shops. Next time I visit definitely need more time to look around.

Ah yes, I snagged a few bags of turtle churros and a jar of Ume plum tea. It's always fun to come to H-Mart to see what's new. I couldn't linger, however, I had my directives and I was short on time. "...the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to H-MART. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there." -- Breakfast at H-Mart

The supermarket for all supermarket from wide range of fresh, frozen and prepackaged food. Great selection of meat and seafood which are priced competitively. The fresh fruits and veggies have a mixed range from overpriced or on sale. Guess it depends on the season but I've never been disappointed in the quality. This H-Mart also has a great selection on the food court of various Korean food options. The aisles are a little narrow but it's packed with options in hidden Asian food finds.

Been doing my food shopping for quite some time , I like the fish and meat section where it's handled cleaned and fresh .lately I purchased some Navel oranges that is so dried pack of dried noodles that is stale in taste .

Grocery shopping is my comfort, I'm weird. H Mart makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. When I say everything is generously stocked at this Korean supermarket, I mean everything. I don't live nearby so I really stock up when I do visit. I've always had great luck with seafood/meat freshness and quality. High marks on the high-quality produce and baked goods too (bakery is owned by another business). Find me in the sauce isle, loading up my pits with bottles and awkwardly walking to my cart every visit. Aisle space is decent, they have prompt-running checkout lanes, ample parking, and great mini stores within the store itself. Weekdays, off peak times are my favorite time to visit, so if you have a chance go then, so as not to get stuck in a grocery cart traffic jam. Prices are a smidge higher in this large chain store but the odds of H Mart being out of stock slim.

H-Mart in Nile's has everything Korean kitchen you need and more! Prices are comparable to other Asian markets. Fast service and people to help you find what you need. I like that they have little stores inside that sell cosmetics, home goods, sweets and clothing. Inside this larger H-Mart they have of course a lot more products and brands than the other littler stores in Illinois. Their home goods section includes dishes, cleaning products, a huge selection of name brand rice cookers, kimchee keepers and pots. All food products are always rotated and shelves are always stocked full! I love these pumpkin noodles (see pic) and I can only find them at this location. The hot pepper paste w/vinegar condiment is delicious in soups, hot or cold noodles and used as a marinade. I like this better than straight gochujang as it's fast and easy with no mess!

Coming from the west coast, this H Mart is HUGE and like a mini mall within itself. Lots of produce, shelf stable stuff, frozen foods, and hot prepared foods. An assortment of food court options as well, although we found a bug in our food :( On the other hand, there is an AMAZING little mom and pop shop that sells coffee and hot fresh walnut red bean pastries that are sooo good. Will return for groceries and pastries but not to the food court, the food was just OK.

I've lived in California, Virginia, and now back in Illinois. I have visited H Marts in Arizona and Washington too, but none can call themselves a true Super H Mart like this one in Niles, IL. While others may be newer, the daily prepared H Mart food at this location is heads above the others and their vast item selection are perfect for me. Their H Mart team is professional and efficient and there is plenty of parking too. I feel so lucky and fortunate to call this H Mart my favorite even though there are two locations closer to me.

Asian Korean Supermarket in a former Dominic's warehouse Market. The H Mart is the largest grossing H Mart in the country. All parts of store have an international selection with an East Asian emphasis. The fruit and vegetable section has a wide selection. For example not just Japanese eggplant but Korean an Chinese. Find at least 5 brands of Tofu here. There is a huge selection of Asian and western mushrooms. Fresh fish including Sashimi cut from Whole Blu me Fin Tuna. Live Korean flounder, crabs, abalone. Usually there is the tuna head behind the counter. There is a food court with mostly Korean food but also Chinese, Japanese and a bakery. Meat section is high for western cuts but has reasonable korean marinated port and beef. Pork belly sliced and whole. The frozen food section has almost too many kinds of dumplings. Mostly Korean but also Japanese, Hawaiian and Filipino. .

I love love love H Mart. It is truly life changing. I love that it has such a variety of various asian foods, not just Korean. The selection is just wonderful and the produce is sometimes often the best I can find in any grocery store. The H Mart in Niles is usually pretty quiet and I've come at various times and days before. It's extremely easy to navigate as well - as it's extremely organized, well stocked, and clean. There are lots of employees roaming around and constantly stocking shelves so help is never too far away. This has become my go-to spot for any meats I'm planning on cooking for a nice homemade asian meal. The thin sliced meats are just unbeatable in my opinion.

This super store has so much under it's roof, it's impossible to write a complete review under ten million words. They have a food court, giant grocery area (including specialty Asian items), and independent Asian vendors. On this trip we visited the food court. They have several different restaurants represented featuring a wide range of Asian foods and desserts. We went to the Red Wok to get some lunch. We got a hungry plate special. This consisted of three flavors of fried chicken and rice. We tried the orange chicken, soy garlic, and Memphis BBQ mayo flavors. The flavors were bold and a little spicy for my liking. You get a lot of chicken for the $14.99 that they charge you. We added a can of soda for another $1.50. It would be nice if they were able to add some more seats in the food court area. I observed that several people had trouble finding enough seats. If you're in the area, I recommend trying the wide variety of food and flavors that are available there.

I'm writing this review sort of just to see if Yelp links it to what older photos I may have posted in the past. I've been here countless times over the years. It's admittedly gotten quieter here after the latest "new guy on the block", Joong Boo Market, opened down the road 4.4 miles away. But they still have plenty of goods here and a decent food court. Pro tip - bring a jacket when you come here because like most Korean supermarkets, it's freezing in here 12 months per year!

When you're in the need to do some grocery shopping for any sort of asian products, you can count on Hmart to have it or something similar. I've grown up shopping in various asian markets with my family, but coming here is a like a trip to my favorite childhood markets with my mom. When you walk in threes are tons of restaurants on the right side if you're looking for something quick to eat before you shop. It opens to tons of produce, before it sections off into ready to eats, kimchi, fish, proteins and more. If you are in the mood to have a Korean bbq experience at home, they have pre cut and marinated meets for you. They even have a whole poke bar made of the fish they sell in the store. They have rows and rows of snacks, drinks, ramen, ready to eat frozen meals, seasoning and even a sake section. The possibilities are endless. Or maybe you're in the need for home goods, they've got those too! Something to note is that the stores get super busy around dinner time and on the weekends, but you don't feel rushed while shopping. If you need help, be mindful that some of the staff does not speak English. But they are able to find someone to help you. All in all, we had a great experience, will be back soon! Especially as seasonal fruits come into season.

Just love this place.its so awesome. Has so many aisles of greatness. Definitely coming back

This place is HUGE. Definitely has a better selection of items than the one in the city, and it's also very clean. Has just about every Asian grocery item I need--except for natto. I walked around for a good while looking for my natto but couldn't find any and that made me very sad. :(

Honestly a lifesaver while I was traveling and trying to lose some weight for a competition. They have a variety of sushi and raw fish that I ate during the week to lose water weight. It was cheap and efficient and I took some to go to explore the waterfront and bike around. Thanks!

Come here once a month for some goodies! There is a small food court with several small restaurants serving fantastic Asian cuisine! The entire store is filled with fresh and affordable ingredients for any meal. The produce is always great, the meat is fresh (try the bulgogi!), the frozen items are unique and fun to try, and the shelves are always stocked with everything you may be looking for! If you can't find something, ask one of the friendly associates. I love to get the warm dishes and sushi as well. There are so many awesome imported snacks to try, definitely leave with those! There's also a section with home items like pots, cutlery, storage containers, slippers, and more!

Huge disappointment in their food and their poor customer service . I want H Mart to know that I did not hear from their customer service team as they had sent me an email saying that they will review my issue but nobody communicated from HMart.

H Mart now seems to be more expensive than other Asian supermarkets in the Chicago area. Yes the store is huge and they have most things...... but those prices!

These are the kinds of places cold-weather states need more of!! Even a fashion-obsessed person like myself craves variation. H Mart is so other-worldly, in comparison to so many traditional U.S. businesses - part grocery store / market, part mini-mall, part food-court! If you enjoy discovery, trying new things, exploring, unique finds & good food, then make your way to H Mart. You could easily come on an ice cold day and spend a few hours here. On this particular day, we didn't shop, but ate at one of the take-out vendors who served Ramen. Delicious! And ate official kimchi for the first time! Yum! Definitely a must - go/see/do

Great food! I like to buy the grab and go bento type of dishes for my son with the rice, egg, bulgogi, dried fish. I also like to grab a bite after grocery shopping whether it's a sweet treat from the bake shop or some soup at one of the snack shops.

Super expensive and sold me spoiled food . I personally wouldn't recommend items from their hot bar. Quality has declined over the years . Pros: clean, carts always available . Toreore chicken is amazing

Planned to stop in H Mart to pick up lunch. First of all - parking is great. Lots of space for many cars. Once parked, it's easy to enter and exit the store. I bought tempura and sushi which was fresh and very tasty. One can eat inside the store or take it to-go. I took food to go. The staff in the food court is friendly. I also bought my favorite sauce and shrimp chips (my favorite!). For a first visit at this market, I had an enjoyable lunch break.

H Mart is always a must when I'm in Chicago! I've been going to this location since I was a kid, and it still never disappoints! H Mart has a huge selection of fruits and vegetables, as well as a variety of meats, seafood, snacks, beverages, and even home appliances! What I also love about H Mart is that they have a food court that has many options such as authentic Korean food, dumplings, sushi, and even a bakery! They also have other shops inside that sell stationery/kpop items, glasses, clothing, and skincare! I definitely recommend stopping by! :-)

I mean what's not to Like if you Korean food They gots it all!! The food court is great and worth eating klm bap, mandoo, soups galore, and all for a pretty good price The grocery selection is as expected Every Korean place can always been cleaner but it's worth the visit The face shop outside of the register is a great store with great products!

This place is amazing! I could spend all day here eating, looking at food, and eating again. I particularly love the Korean facial masks which I always buy on my way out the door and use weekly at home.

This is the almighty mecca of all things Korean that combines the best of all worlds - groceries, food court, hot food/ready to eat deli items, banchans galore, kimchi heaven, household kitchen finds, etc etc etc. It really doesn't disappoint. My only critique is the stinginess of the food court vendors. None of them set out napkins or utensils for self serve. They will only hand them out if you buy something - and they will not give extra unless you luck out and get a nicer person at the counter. Plus the fee for take out containers is a bit outrageous. I saw some signs of additional $1 for a to go box. Ouch.

Very big fun market to shop in. Not only do they have food but they have services as well such as a barbershop, restaurants and a salon. If you're not familiar with Asian food I would do my research on what you want to purchase as it can be a little overwhelming on what to buy.

I was absolutely shocked on how big this store was and the variety of foods that I can't buy at most other stores! It was truly a treat to shop here and definitely worth the drive to the larger location! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for all types of different Asian foods! They also carry a generous amount of American staples as well. Warning though if you don't like the smell of fish be prepared for the seafood department they have tons of fish displayed on the sales floor for easy access to customers.

Have you not been to Hmart yet?? You should totally go! They have everything you need. I love coming here for produce and snacks! Lots of fresh fruits and veggies with good prices. You can also find a lot of produce / asian snacks other grocery stores don't carry. Make sure you stop by the hot foods section. They carry Yu's Mandarin food items such as Lo Mein, popcorn chicken, fried rice, beef noodles, and orange chicken. The store itself also makes sushi rolls, vegetable tempura, porridge, purple rice and lunch boxes. If you like the side dishes from Korean bbq places, they have a few varieties available here as well! Do you love noodles? Search no more! They have a ton of options. From udon noodles, Dan Dan noodles , homemade fresh cut noodles, ramen, cold noodles etc... If you love dumplings, gyoza and potstickers , there are so many varieties you can pick from. Seafood here are always fresh. I never bought anything that is not fresh from here. You can find lots of yummy snacks from different countries here as well. If you want to make your own soondubu soup at home, stop by the pots and pans section and pick up a bowl. I usually leave Hmart with a cart full of goodies. Once you finish checking out, don't forget to stop by the little shops in the hallway. I love the store that carries Korean fashion clothing. Happy Shopping! :P

I love the fancy pencil there it's so cute and they have hello kitty stuff and a lot of other cute things like that but when I get in the place its freezing so I recommend wearing a jacket when going in there

I am a fan of H-mart and so glad to one here! The prices are great and I got my sauces, seasonings, a couple boxes of ramens and my favorite honey butter chips. Now that I live in Madison where there isn't anything in this scale. I probably will visit this location quarterly for stocking up goodies! Please carry pandan soy milk as it's so good! We also got some snacks at the food court too.

Okay, so hear me out. Since I was a wee young lad, I've suffered from some form of attention deficit and OCD. I'll tell you that this location had my mind running non stop. I was so overwhelmed ! It was way too much but I loved every minute of it. Kind of, not really. To be honest, there's nothing here that they don't offer at Joong Boo for me. But I'm glad I tried it. This location is good for relatively cheaper meat, poultry and fish compared to most main stream grocery stores. B+!

This place is awesome! I was not expecting such cool variety and fresh seafood. So many interesting items. I visited Korea 10 years ago and this store made me feel like I was there again!

Who doesn't love H Mart? This is my go to location because it's big, it has everything, and there's even hot foods to go or you can even dine in.

Haven't been here since my prior review. They have since cleaned more. There is not as much trash on the ground. The floors looked moped/washed. The fish area smelled like bleach and looked more put together than before. There are still many items that are missing pricing and when trying to ask an employee (at customer service, at check out, or in the aisles) they're not helpful and are unwilling to find out the correct price. They all give the excuse of "whatever it is in the computer". Yes, but how can I make a decision on whether I want to buy something that I don't need, dessert, and treat it as if it's price inelastic. They still don't take coupons, despite offering coupons in the fine print of their weekly ads. They also don't offer coupons either, super confusing... The corporate H-Mart customer service, after 4 phone calls to different departments, isn't really that helpful either. Edit: To the Business Owner Yelp page for this company, I already tried calling Customer Service for the store, the corporate line, and writing in an inquiry to the website. Again, no one was helpful, did not provide an answer despite what was being advertised, and you responding telling me to write in AGAIN... when I have already stated my issue multiple times is not only a slap in the face but goes to show how incompetent this whole thing is.

This one is so much bigger then the one downtown! There are also some stores and great restaurants inside.

ONE STOP ASIAN SHOP! this huge supermarket has everything from furniture, restaurants, kitchen utensils, every kind of groceries in one place. I've been coming here for years just to get lunch, coffee, bakery treats, makeup, and my groceries! They are open 365days a year. They have many great sales throughout the week, and the ingredients they offer are solid 5/5. The restaurants they have are perfect for getting lunch with friends or even a meal all to yourself.

Love h mart for their selection of fermented foods, tea, food, court, baked goods, Korean beauty, skin, care, and more.

What an amazing grocery store! Unfortunately, all I was able to buy were kitchen gadgets and drinks because my husband and kids ended up having to drag me out of the store--I was too busy quietly salivating over the massive array of foods and being completely indecisive about what to eat. I wanted to buy them all, but alas, the truth is my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. So I left with a feeling of longing, regret, and unsatisfied hunger. This means my desire to come back is burning even more brightly. I MUST TRY EVERYTHING next time. I love that there's a little corner strip mall inside the store--lots of little shops selling everything from clothing/accessories, to stationery, to Korean cosmetics, foods, k-pop stuff, etc. I even found a shop selling the k-skincare line I wanted. There's also a small food court serving delicious-looking dishes. A MUST-VISIT every time I'm in Chicago now. A huge plus that they are right next to King Spa also.

I recommend H-MART very dearly. Good products and such but workers are very rude, disobedient, and most of them can't even speak English! The whole place reeks of mold and fishy smells. But the little OK-DOG shop is very yummy! Good food from there. Anyway I'm not sure if I would recommend H-MART. More so OK-DOG:)

This is the first H Mart I was ever introduced to by my late aunt. It was an amazing Korean market experience here in the states. Market and lots of food court options here too. The one in MI is a mini compared to this location. They have been around 1982, that's a long while. This shop has many little mini shops down the main hallway. The face shop is a good one. They have an amazing assortment of rice cookers from the $100s to $500+. They had a shiatsu shoulder massager and it was fantastic for a trial and hit the right knots from all of this remote work from home without my standup desk the last 26+ weeks. It allows you to apply more pressure from the hand straps to increase or decrease the pressure. It was bliss enough to get for $70. My mom will love it after this emotionally draining weekend, me too. I could spend a while walking through this place and checking out all there is here. What a huge selection of meats and veggies and everything you could possibly need for any Asian meal that comes to mind. The food court has about 5-6 food options. We got the tteokbokki, soondae, kimbap. We also got a kimbap package. We bought some V line corn tea, it's quite refreshing.

A little bit small but have everything! The price is also affordable. The trice flavored drink is awesome! Must try it!

Food is good by the food court and so many options to choose from! They accept ebt cards too!

This H Mart is my favorite, being a Super H Mart they always what i need, unfortunately my wallet, they always have ahat i need (and several other things I buy that I don't need ). Do your homework if you're looking for something in particular, while they have sales, you may be able to find it cheaper at a smaller or similar Asian store. Either way, you can pick up prepared meals, eat a meal or pick up whateber you need for an at home kbbq night. If you're a first timer to Asian markets, this will be heaven!

This is probably the biggest H Mart in Illinois. Lots of small stores with funny weird owners. One pencil shop owner really tried to sell me pens. When I said "no" he went to ask me "why?" kinda pushy lol. But fun to experience the pushy Asian shopowners of Niles. For sure it's worth that alone to come here then see a bunch of other cool stuff. Also a live crab pit to get crabs to cook. I remember playing with crabs with some tongs in the sink then boiling em in a pot. Also a small food court and some korean fried chicken at Torero or whatever it's called. Best H Mart I've been in. Plus they have some dance and breakdance competitions and I hope more in their parking lot. It's a large parking lot so tons of room to do events .

The vanilla mille cake was meh but the otoro is fresh and super fatty. Literally melt in your mouth. It was $60 a pound. We paid about $21.

This Super H Mart is pretty big, and the extensive/variety of items that they offer is pretty impressive. Plethora on plethora on plethora of snack items, candies, produce, specialty items, houseware goods, as well as a food court area. Stick with the Asian goodies and the produce, as they are usually fresh and ample. I am a fan of their beverages/snack section, the KBBQ meats, as well as their houseware/kitchenware items. The place is generally packed, and on the weekends (especially Saturday noon-time and after the church rush on Sundays, it can get pretty crazy); in addition, they offer a good amount of samplings of their sale items. Just be careful with their frozen products - the seng suhn fish used for juhn was spoiled and had maggots! They also have a bakery, cosmetic stores, a stationery store, and a food court. I like the hodogwaja, the Korean walnut pastries that, when you order fresh, are super warm and filled with yummy sweet red beans. The staff are a hit-or-miss, as some can be helpful. Plenty of parking in their large plaza lot. +be careful of their frozen products +large variety of snacks/candies +fresh produce +hit-or-miss staff +weekend samplings +large parking in shared plaza lot

Love this grocery store! If you've never been, it will probably be a bit exotic at first. It's a Korean grocery store with many little restaurants in the front. I decided to try the fried chicken restaurant and ordered the crispy garlic chicken. It was a 20 minute wait, but well worth it because the chicken was freshly fried, crispy, garlicky, and deliciously umami! To accompany the chicken, I ordered jumbo dumplings from the dumpling shop and I could see them being freshly made in the back. Just as good as the chicken! On to the groceries, they have an abundance of fun Korean goodies, giant Asian pears, and tons more. I highly recommend the pre-marinated bulgogi (thin beef slices) and gochujang (red chili paste) with seasoned vegetables. I used them at home to make bibimbop (Korean rice dish). Extra plus is that they sell rice cookers here too.

Really high prices and the fish was spoiled especially the salmon that was terrible we all got sick I don't recommend this store

Hmart is always a must and last stop before driving back home. Love the food court and their kitchen essentials.
