I've honestly always thought that H-Mart is the GO TO if any Korean groceries are needed, but MY GOD was I wrong. After going to Mega Mart the entire trajectory of my life has been changed and only makes me wish that we had one of these chains in SoCal.
It's not only a market, but there's a bakery with cute cakes, pastries, hot K-food like corn dogs, etc., sandwiches, and even an instant noodle/ramyun bar (I'm a SUCKER for these, even though I know that I can just make them at home). We were there later in the evening so they were already closed, but seeing what they had, my mind was blown. Super cute bear and bunny cookies, a cute carrot savory pastry that is just so genius in design, soju cakes, flowery decorated cupcakes and cute creampuffs, potato and egg salad sandwiches, ready to eat bentos and rice bowls, sushi and kimbap, and so much more. Would be a great place to swing by for a fast snack or to get lunch for later/another day.
They have a pretty decent selection of snacks, sweets, instant noodles, home goods, produce, meats and seafood (like you'd find at any Korean market). They even have prepackaged sets of seafood and meats meant for hot pots and stews. I've even found some instant noodles that I have never seen before in markets (the strawberry noodles, yet I still can't find my Tom Yum Buldak)... However, $2.99 for a pack of Shin Ramyun is the LOWEST that I've ever seen it at, along with a bunch of other flavors that would at least be $4-5 a pack, this is the lowest prices I've seen. Additionally, there were drinks and other snacks that I haven't seen at other Asian markets either.
Big W and I'd love to swing by again next time I'm in NorCal, or even better, they decide to expand to SoCal.
