H Mart

Huge selection of all things Korean, with great produce, seafood section, and anything else you may need. Only four stars, though, because they do not carry soju,

The H Mart is an experience that everyone should have. We came here after eating next door, and it’s like going to a different world. They have a whole side of an aisle that is just seaweed!
My daughter loved all the sounds and sights, and I had a blast looking at all of the different things they stock. I ended up with some shrimp chips that were the best I’ve ever had (and that didn’t last long at home), some pokey stix, and some Korean Cheetos that were one of the strangest things I’ve ever eaten — imagine kettle corn, doritos and soy sauce mixed together.
Unless you knew what some of the items are, I wouldn’t know how to use them to prepare food, but they also have a lot of items that I don’t think you could find anywhere else. This place has certainly changed a lot since it was Farmer Jack’s.

The food here is quite good and plentiful for the price. It must be nice to have fresh stuff for your restaurant and almost never have to worry about running out. The sweet and sour pork was awesome last time I came here with my husband. He had kimch chigae and loved it. Too much food for us. Serving sizes were huge but they tasted excellent.

My sister and I shop here every once and a while and usually we are the only non-​asian people in there. Yet, I have never felt weird about that. There’s always someone willing to help if you have questions about what to use and buy for certain dishes. There’s also plenty of English in the store for those of us who don’t read Hangeul. Super accessible. Great food. Great prices.

I love H Mart it always has just what you’re looking for in an Asian market. As soon as you walk in you pick up on the smell of fresh fish and I mean it is a powerful aroma you know you have arrived at H Mart. After doing a little shopping you can pick up a great Asian meal at the lunch counter. Everything from ramen noodles to sticky rice and fish. All of the food is prepared fresh as soon as you order. I had a number 11 which was the pork lunch plate. It was cooked to perfection with a wonderful Asian broth. Everything is good at H Mart sometimes if you enjoy live crabs they have them there and when they do they are delicious. It’s worth the drive over to H Mart check it out.

If you ever come to here, you must try their food court their price is so cheap and portion is so huge! If I didn’t live so far from here, I would come here every week just to eat from their little food court

A bit pricy, but a fair selection of items. Keep in mind that this is a VERY busy store.

A neat Korean grocery store. I think their stuff is a little bit expensive, so I probably won’t go there too often.
Their fresh seafood looks very good and fresh. The marinated beef is great with good price. They have some other Asian food as well, like Chinese and Japanese food. As a tofu fan, I like their selection of tofu product.
Seaweed salad is great.
My Korean co-​worker recommended this place to me. I heard they’re trying to expand to compete with 168 Asian market. Looking forward to see how much improvement they can get.

I think it’s safe to say that this is the biggest Korean market in Michigan. You’ll find most of the ingredients to cook Korean dishes.
They offer special coupons and prices for Hmart members. Signing up for their membership program is free. You get points from every purchase and get a $ 10 store credit for $ 1000 purchase.
It’s a good store and carries most of the stuff I’m looking for. I just wish it was a bit cleaner and more organized.

I finally found a Korean Supermarket!!! I was so excited to see there was an H Mart close to me after moving from Washington D.C. It’s a little smaller then the one by my old house but I was so happy to see something familiar after moving to a place I’ve never been. Saw that the restaurant inside is closed for renovation, but will be happy to try it once it opens back up! I found everything I was looking for and you can’t beat their vegetable selections.

This was a crazy but positive shopping experience. The store was not clearly marked. There was a sign by the road but not on the actual store. It was also one of the smallest H marts I have ever been to. The prices were great and check out was simple. It is one of the only Korean stores in the whole area. Recommended

Great selection of food and other Korean items as well as a decent amount from other Asian ethnicities at good prices. We enjoy shopping there as well as just walking through the different aisles. Great place to find what you need to make Korean dishes at home. We have only been there a few times but we will definitely make it more often.

The potstickers were the best and also #11 the pork was spicy solo good can’t wait to go back

Korean supermarket!!!
If you are looking for a Korean supermarket don’t go anywhere but here. I have been to Korean markets in Novi and Ann Arbor and nothing even comes close to H– mart.
What makes this place a true Korean supermarket is the fact they have a fast food restaurant that makes quick favorite like bimbim bop and jajangmyun.
Love it love it!!’

We went there more because we wanted to eat some Korean food. We didn’t expect much from a small H Mart, but the food was AWESOME. It’s probably one of the best Korean food I’ve ever tasted (and btw I’m Korean). The fried spicy chicken wings, jampong, and tonkatsu was the best out of what I ate. Really recommend the chicken wings tho, they’re delish! Would go here to eat again. :)

I have been coming here for a few years now. I grew up with a mother who cooked Korean food from scratch. This is the closes to moms cooking I will ever get from a Korean restaurant. This place is more like a mini café with tables and chairs. Nothing special but the food itself makes up for the unattractive space. It’s located inside of the market so all the ingredients are readily available. The menu is based on numbers and they have up to 30 different selections to choose from including specials like squid bum bum bap. Along with your meal you’ll get rice and three side dishes usually kimchi and 2 dishes that they switch up.
You get a lot of Americans who come and place orders here. You’ll see a lot of people during lunch time with their friends trying new dishes. I recommend you take a long some friends and try different dishes to share. The food is plentiful and you will leave with some door later. I recommend not getting a carry out because the portions are much smaller. The average meal will run you $ 8.99. Hope you enjoy!!!

I have always loved H-​mart and this one is no exception. I love buying their salmon sashimi and their pre-​packaged Korean side dishes. My favorite side dish is definitely their spicy fish cake. I also buy a large container of kimchi. Everything in the store is pretty fresh. I buy pork belly and different types of beef from here all the time. The quality is definitely there. The produce aisle can be a bit pricey, so I usually shop elsewhere like Walmart. They have food on sale near the cash registers. I would avoid buying their food on sale. I bought the potato salad home and it was already spoiled. Bad call H-​mart. They also have a mini selection of sake. They also have a good cafeteria here. Lots of Korean dishes to choose from either before or after your grocery trip. This H-​mart is a lot smaller than its other locations because it is not a Super H mart. Once you have been to a Super H mart, it’s hard to ever shop at a regular H mart. This place does get the job done. Without it, I do not know if I could survive living in Michigan.

I have been meaning to go to H-​Mart and finally I did. It’s kind of small but they pack a lot of goodness in the space. They have a big selection of fresh meats and fish. It is a bit expensive, but the quality is good. For 1.25 pounds of bulgogi meat it was about $ 10.
They have tons of different kinds of kimchi and have a decent selection of frozen foods. They have some really good Japanese and Korean ice cream products that I have never seen at another Asian supermarket in Michigan. They also have dduk that isn’t frozen. Yummm! They have a small selection of alcoholic beverages.
The only this is I wish they had a cosmetic/​skincare section like other H-​Marts.

This is not the typical H-​mart if you’re use to going to their stores. It’s pretty small and very unkempt.
The produce was not fresh and looked like everything was rotting. Can’t say much for the fish area since I completely by-​passed it. The meat however was very nicely displayed and was fresh.
Don’t go there for the produce — everything else is ok. But I’m sure you could find another Asian store with just as good products.

It seems odd to review a grocery store, but this place is worthy. Not only is it the finest Korean grocery store in the metro area, but also it has a nice cafeteria. The grocery store is by far the largest in the area and the selection is second to none. It is a great place to by unique and relative inexpensive fruits and veges. the quality can vary from time to time, but finding longon fruit is hard to do, anywhere in Michigan.
More importantly, there is the cafeteria. It is actually the same Kitchen of Tomo, but I have never been there. This place is a throwback to the kinds of places you will find throughout Korea. The menu is relatively simple and there are visual aids, so you get a good idea as to what you are getting. It is not the best Korean food in town (see my review of New Seoul Garden), but it does the trick in a pinch. Also the chicken wings and the fried dumplings are true gems. The wings are a nice combination of sweet and spicy and they are always cooked-​to-​order. So be ready to wait about 20 minutes. I think they are worth the wait, but if you are constrained by time, you can order ahead. The fried dumplings are pretty self-​explanatory. they are fried and delicious. I am a bit biased because they bring back memories of my childhood.
If you are looking for groceries, quick bite or both, and you are in the area, i highly recommend you pay a visit to H-​mart.

One of my favorite things about Korean supermarkets is their cleanliness. To anyone who claims that all Asians are the same: go to a Chinese grocery store and go to a Korean grocery store, then tell me whether there’s a difference. H Mart is particularly impressive in the cleanliness arena. Really fresh cuts of beef/​pork/​chicken and cheap and attractive looking seafood. Vegetables are super green (for Michigan, anyway) and well priced. They also have a small supply of Korean-​made products at the center of the store: beauty products, pans, soap, etc.

Great selection of everything from noodles, fresh greens/​produce, mandu (dumplings) to seafood! Just don’t go on Saturday because it’s too crowded (that’s just a personal preference of mine). Great place to find ingredients for cooking Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Filipino, Vietnamese and Korean cuisine!

Food here is okay. The spicy seafood noodle soup is okay, but not great. I also got the seafood pancake and it was not great. They burned the scallions and there was way too much batter. I like the seafood pancake at Udon Restaurant in East Lansing way better. The store has good deals on fruit and veggies, but other items are a bit more expensive than at other asian grocery stores.

After going to another Korean market in Michigan I think this place deserves 5 stars. The place is pretty big even bigger than my usual Chinese market. It is really well lit, clean, and you can actually do the majority of your shopping here. They have a lot of fresh produce! Holy cow! I also love their seafood department, including a wide variety of fish balls. Banchan galore! They also have marinated meats. Before you buy their soups please check the expiration date! I was going to get one and it was going to expire the next day. They also have a boat load of frozen items. Also have a lot of non-​Korean food.
There is also a little eatery inside. It wasn’t lunch or dinner time so I didn’t try. I wouldn’t mind though.
Huge parking lot.

I’m a fan of HMart and love the offering… not sure how they can sell some of the fruits for cheap, but hey, if it lures people it, then it’s a great marketing.
I love their fish department, you can buy some fresh fish, have it cleaned and cut by the staff… they have great selection of meat, veggies and of course grocery items as well. While I could buy lot of the stuff at Galleria Market here in Ann Arbor, one thing they out do others are in the seafood department… on the day I visited, they were selling Lobsters for $ 7 per pound…
I just wish they had one in Ann Arbor area… ‘hint’ ‘hint’ H Mart folks!!!

H-​Mart is huge, clean, and has all the goods you need to prepare a home cooked Korean meal, and some more!
I primarily come here for my Japanese products, and though it’s not their main focus, the offerings are always fresh. You can also find pre-​sliced meats for shabu shabu or sukiyaki, and they are of good quality. Their fresh seafood and meats look pretty good though I have not personally bought any. I love that they have mackerel that you can grill at home, or short ribs to make galbi.
I’ve recently started buying their organic long grain brown rice, and it is a good value at $ 22 for a 25 lb. bag. Their Hokto mushrooms are great, and they have all the varieties (brown beech, white beech, maitake, and king trumpet) for $ 2.99 a pack. The only other place that comes this close to freshness for their mushrooms is One World Market out in Novi.
Their food court is pretty popular, but I haven’t had it recently, and the last time I had it was many years ago, and I thought it was just average. However, this place is definitely worth coming for meats and produce, and frozen dumplings and noodles.

OMyGoodness, this place is amazing! Wonderful grocery store with fresh produce, meats, and seafood for all of your Korean cooking needs. I wish they had something this dedicated to Korean food in Ann Arbor, although you can get a lot of pan-​Asian groceries at Hua Xing market on Washtenaw and decent dry goods at Galleria on Packard. They have a good mix of dry goods and fresh foods here AND kimchee by the buckets! (No seriously, they have kimchee in buckets, it’s awesome).
One corner of the grocery store is dedicated to their food stall, more of a real corner than a food court (as I think of food court as having a variety of vendors, this has just the one). The receipt and sign in Korean says Woori jip, or «our place,» but a lot of other Unilocalers I’ve noticed put their reviews for the hot food under «E Mart Food Court.» Maybe this was the previous owner’s name? Either way, it’s the same place, and the hot food is delicious!!! The yuk-​gae-​jang, seollong tang, fried mandu, and spicy yet sweet fried chicken were the perfect meal to end my relaxing Sunday. There’s no ambiance, but it’s seriously yummers. I mean, that fried chicken wings can put BWW out of business if they franchised it, damn!

SO!
Yes, this is like barely 10% of the size of the hmart I’m used to.
Yes, this hmart’s bakery is ridiculous and should not be called a bakery. In fact it isn’t.
Yes, this hmart’s food selection is smaller than many.
But by GAWD there is an HMART in MICHIGAN.
That alone deserves 5 stars.
Okay, if I was giving a real honest and fair unbiased review I would say it’s probably it’s about a 3 star, but given all circumstances, this is great. In fact, if this was the store that was here about a year ago when I first moved to Michigan, it would definitely get like 2 stars, just because it’s not what I was used to. But let’s think in relation to the Michigan Metro Detroit market.
It is a Korean supermarket and has a bounty of Korean ingredients. But please be aware, it is a Korean supermarket, not a Chinese supermarket or even a generic Asian supermarket. They carry predominantly Korean products, or products that Koreans use, with some items that non-​Koreans use sprinkled in here and there, which I am undoubtedly grateful for. I believe it is the largest Korean supermarket in certainly Metro Detroit, probably Michigan. However, it is still on the smaller scale so they don’t have the selection one would want from most hmarts but they do carry at least one of everything, and most importantly, they carry my canned tuna. The previous store that was test marketing hmart so hadn’t really changed over to hmart yet had a dong-​won canned tuna lookalike but it was not it. Also! Fishballs. They hadn’t had fishballs before but now they do! A whole freezer thing is dedicated to it. But the one in Edison also had beef balls and they were labelled. This one you just pick colors. Not the best.
Their cafeteria is alright. The pajeon, kimchi dolsot, tang soo yuk are good. And I hear the chicken wings or fried chicken in sauce or something, is good too. Jjajangmyeon leaves something to be desired. If someone wants to go try the jaengban jjajang with me, message me :)
They now take American Express, as all hmarts do, and their point system, although not great, is simple and honest. I haven’t seen any advertising that helps rake up extra points, but maybe it’s coming.
If this is anything like the other hmarts, you can also use your student discount to get 5% off on certain days of the week, in Edison, NJ it was Tues and Sat. Or something like that.
Produce, meats, fish, all of it is pretty fresh. The previous store, I had noticed some expired products and was not real happy but I’m hoping that this change will make it better.
Ok, after writing this review, I change my mind and am giving them a 4 star. As great as they are, they have lots of room to improve.
OH! You can get sashimi here. Salmon, tuna, and even uni. But I don’t believe they slice it for you.
Also, keep an eye out for the manager’s special!
