My favorite H Mart in one of my favorite towns! Has something for everyone with a great little bakery at the entrance. The King Cream donut is one of the greatest desserts ever and the coffee is great.

When In Boston: Well, Im usually *not* in Boston, which I suppose makes this review a bit more relevant than usual since I was tasked with procuring assorted foodstuffs for a backyard cookout with my hosts. H Mart has a decent rep there as a one-stop shop for edible Asian goodies, but it really doesnt stop there: lots of fresh veggies, meats and fish are in abundance as well, and they serve up fresh-cooked food as well, to take home or dine on-site (carefully-distanced, of course). Very highly recommended.

Good, albeit small grocery featuring many Korean and Japanese products. However, they so not stock Hot6ix, the greatest Korean energy drink and winner of Lottes 2012 internal marketing campaign. This leads to great disappointment every time I shop here.Outside the store, but located within the building, are great takeout restaurants such as Paris Baguette and sushi, so its a great one-stop market.

It is an interesting amalgamation of stores all packed into one building.I went there for pastries which they have plenty of in the first store to the right where I got a crossing for 3 bucks.But not only did I buy a croissant, but I came out with 2 packs of noodles 2hich came from a grocery store located further back in the building.They also have a diner where customers can buy hot noodle 🍜 bowls or sandwiches πŸ₯ͺ and other foods. They also provide tables for customers to sit and eat.Definitely an interesting place to stop by if your hungry for a brunch or a quick grocery shopping for Asian goods.

The place is a cute spot to grab Korean stuff. Its a bit pricy and the selection is limited. The service is fine. The layout is a bit crank . The quality of the pre marinated meat is amazing. The same quality that your company is fine at a restaurant. Perfect for Korean bbq at home

Review β„–13

Always been a big fan of HMART because of the good quality of their products UNTIL TODAY. Tonight I bought a box of mangosteen at HMART Cambridge (for those who don’t know mangosteen is a type of tropical fruit imported from Southeast Asia, costs $19.99 per pound) I paid $17.19 for only five or six tiny size of mangosteen. I was so excited because I expected these must taste so good if it cost me that much. When I cut it, tasted it, and realized every single one of them went bad (expired), I bet you know how that feels. REALLY SUCKS. AWFUL PURCHASE. HMART should take all of these expired items down from the shelves and give full refund to whoever bought these recently.

Smallish store with a great variety of items. It can get very busy in here and there isnt a ton of room, but thats expected in Cambridge. Food is always fresh and staff has always been nice when we have visited. Connected to a Cafe, but no public bathrooms (since Covid).

I like HMart. I wish they change the container for rice cakes. Please see the attached photo. The sticky rice cake does not go well with the paper-based container, unless the paper container is edible. This is not the first time. Please consider changing the container to a different material.

Review β„–17

We highly recommend trying some of the buns when you go, all of the ones we have tried so far have been great!As well as the skewers which were crispy and so flavorful (though not very spicy).The kimchi pancake was great and we loved that it had rice cake in it!The only thing we cant recommend is the curry it was very thick and salty, and the flavor wasnt that great. Otherwise we loved everything else we got!The service here is always great and the servers are willing to try and accommodate their customers! Keep in mind you cannot eat inside yet so you will have to either take it home or eat in your car. If you take it home the food wont be crispy which is not the businesss fault as we tried the food in the car and it was crispy and fresh!

Great location!Meats and seafoods are spectacular while vegetables are only okay.Many Asian products available.

Im a explorer of new foods and this place definately was an interesting array of Asian foods. Its like a Asian version of Whole Foods. They were even sampling out different meats and drinks. I wish for Non Asians they had more attentive staff asking if they needed help and explaining the products unknown to non Asians. Prices seemed in align to the area. I will go back soon as so many choices of fascinating and exotic food items.

A little bit of onsite parking that could do with expanding (but I know thats not a reasonable request). Great selection of Korean groceries, with several Japanese and some other Asian offerings as well. Produce is fantastic! Most packages are labeled in English so you can cook with confidence.

Review β„–29

As a Korean person, it was very exciting at first to know that there was an Hmart nearby. However, compared to the Hmarts and other Korean marts I had at home, this one is definitely disappointing. Almost no actual Korean workers and its extremely small, so theres a lot of missing products. Furthermore, the food court doesnt even have any actual Korean food: just curry, ramen, and a Paris Baguette. While its a nice spot to shop for groceries and there are some pre-packaged Korean foods, its sad to know that the one nearby Korean mart is incredibly lacking.

Review β„–33

I really dont want to be overly harsh since this store was very clean and well maintained. However, the prices were the absolutely highest for any Asian grocery store Ive ever been to, and Im not just comparing to the no frills mom and pop shops in chinatown :(. But aside from price, I did find that many items were not properly labelled with either the expiry date or the price. I think it may be hard for them to lower the prices since they probably pay tons in rent, but I think the labelling issue could be fixed. The prices were high enough that I may not go back.

Always something interesting for this non-Asian shopper. And often at very good prices compared with mainstream stores, though the produce prices are similar.

For how small the space wa they creatively crammed a lot in including variety. Super organized! Was able to find all I was looking for easily. The signs in various languages helped.

Review β„–36

Conveniently located but expect to pay that premium. Good selection of Asian products including produce and meats. Many can be purchased in Chinatown for much less. There are also a few restaurants in the front of the supermarket including, a bakery, a ramen place, and a curry place. None of these restaurants are particularly good or recommended. The bakery is arguably the best of the three. Shoppers should consider Target and Whole Foods around the block.

Review β„–39

Great place to get meats cut for asian dishes like bulgogi and shabu shabu! Produce is reliably fresh and they have all the asian cooking staples here! My only complaint is that the aisles are so narrow it is hard to shop with everyone trying to get past each other and browse the shelves at the same time. However, this store is the only place I can access with asian cooking staples, so I keep coming back.

I strongly recommend this place for the people who want the Korean things or food. They are neatly arranged and clean. It resembles the Korean market very much, so it recalls my memories of Korea. Especially when I want to eat some homemade style sea food, I go there and get some stuff.

This place is magical. There is one in the Natick Mall too and I believe one up north, but this location is bigger, has sitting area and the options are plenty! Any and every option is so good whether its sweet or not. The cakes are so fluffy and oh so yummy. If visiting this area, you gotta come here from time to time or often!

Review β„–52

Overpriced products. The same instant ramen is cheaper in Chinatown boston. Also seafood overpriced like (shrimp/crab sticks/sushi salmon/sea urchin roe. In my opinion as Bostons best design architect this place gets too crowded during rush hour they need to make construct a second floor either above or below the main floor. By increasing access points(doors) and create more walking space will speed up the flow of traffic and increase their profits

There is no social distancing here. Many couples shopping together, some aisles blocked by groups of three employees stacking shelves and shouting at each other.No attempts to regulate flow through aisles.The number of people in store may comply with health guidelines, but it sure doesn’t feel that way.If you are concerned about COVID spread, don’t shop here.(I used to love this shop)

Review β„–87

Surprisingly packed a lot of items into a relatively small Hmart. Wait times for checkout are generally low. Clean and well maintained. The food court selections are mediocre compared to other Hmart locations but thats expected given the size constraint.Perhaps only big downsides are that prices for some common produce like eggs and yogurt tend to be higher, and theres less selection for organic produce. But again, their main purpose is to fill a niche that nearby Target and Whole Foods cannot fill. It has a way wider grocery selection than the Target across the street and of course, their Korean groceries selection is probably the best in all of Cambridge, Somerville, and even Boston.
