Its really great to find a grocery store with this kind of selection in the middle of a metropolitan city.We were staying at a nearby hotel and found it very convenient to pick up groceries from here.Good selection of Asian goods.On our stay of 6 days we went there 3, so we must have liked it a lot.Their Soju and sake selection is pretty big, so if you want to drink for less in your hotel room, this is a great place to go.They are open until 930pmTried the fried chicken. The flavor is great but we didnt get it fresh.

Great little store in the heart of downtown. Plenty of great food offerings. They have kimchi! Huzzah! Prepared food, produce, staple goods. Staff was friendly and helpful. Clean. Ill add more pictures later. Am too hungry!

Buyer beware! Definitely check the receipt before you leave the store. This afternoon I bought some grocery for the hotpot. It’s until I came back home that I found out the dishonest cashier charged me twice for the expensive lamb shabu! I only bought one package. I will never never feel confident to leave H Mart without double checking the receipt!

Excellent Asian supermarket in downtown Seattle with good selection, reasonable prices and service that was clean. They also have a prepared foods section with discounts on items near the end of the day. Decent produce section with some non Asian food items as well. Excellent option for groceries if you are in downtown.

They have a great Deli with hot food. Many different lunch options. Great selection of noodles, ice cream and candies. I couldnt believe I found Mars candy bars there. The checkout staff is always very friendly too. Great store.

Surprised there in one in downtown Seattle. Smaller in size but has a lot of the Korean items I cant get back home. Just some random items I found in h Mart.

They had food on display in the middle of an non-frigerated aisle that was supposed to be refrigerated. Even 30 minutes after I told the cashier, pointed out exactly where the issue was, and some guy came to look at it, nothing happened so Im posting this review. I go to Hmart in Lynnwood and Federal Way, and this was a first. Disappointed.

So many things to try and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Try the Rolin prepared squid. You can eat it right out of the bag! They say its an acquired taste, but I dont recall who I acquired it from.

Review №13

Such a surprise. The selection was almost overwhelming, it was soo varied. If you want it, they probably have it. Prices were very reasonable. We bought far more than we planned. Simply, bc the prices were, too good to be true. Then, went back to our hotel for our late night snack and the food was totally delicious. Will definitely visit them again.

I love this place, the short rib kalbi don was delicious with a perfect blend of spice and flavor, plus whatever you would want from toothpicks. chopsticks, coconut water Nd the list could go on forever. ill definitely be back again.

Convenient location in downtown closed to Pike Place Market. You can find most Asian foods there including Asian produce and fruits, snacks and tofu. Clean and neat displaying items on shelves and refrigerator. It is in basement of a commercial building. There is escalator and elevator for easy access.

Great place to a prepared box lunch of your Korean favorites. You can get some groceries here with Korean produce and a great place to shop for Asian condiments in downtown Seattle.

Review №17

Attended opening day and found the store to be well stocked and clean with a nice selection of fresh produce, ready to eat foods, frozen foods, and pantry necessities.This is a small, basement location and has limited shelf space so the inventory is not as extensive as Uwajimaya but this H Mart definitely carries all the basics plus really popular specialty items.Theres also a deli and hot food item area for grab & go food with a small seating area thats very convenient.

Missing a lot of the stuff Id buy at the Lynnwood or Federal Way stores, but the selection has gotten way better since they opened.

Review №19

The design of the checkout counter is unfriendly and crowded. It is a busy place with many people check out during the same time; however the checkout counter has no space for shopper to actually bag things + the counter’s height is not friendly for short asian women like me. The clerk shoved my groceries to the side in order to have the next person starting check out. It was not a nice shopping experience in general. I will update my review if H mart improved the layout/checkout process in the future.

Awesome new location! Im used to the University Way location, which is more cramped but still nice. The hot food bar and seating area for eating seems really really nice! Cant wait to try the fried chicken and ddukbokki 😋

H Mart is fantastic. This little grocery story is larger than you might expect and featured a great selection of essentials alongside a terrific of Asian stables that were once only available at Uwajamaya or in small shops in Seattle’s International District. They have a wonderful grab-and-go area, good produce, dairy, snacks and liquor including a solid selection of Sake. All in a clean, accessible, and well lit environment with a super friendly staff.If you’re nearby and need groceries, or inspiration for your next meal, H Mart is a great place to go.

So grateful its downtown, as it offers fresh fruits and veggies, hot and cold prepared foods, and every staple you could want. Add to this, a VERY LARGE collection of sweets, candies and confections.

Review №25

This place has a lot more options with Korean groceries than District H. Both awesome places but I probably will not go to District H unless I am in the neighborhood and need something quick. So glad an H mart opened up in this part of Seattle. I wish their meat selection was better and they had more meat options.

JC One Liner Review: Adequately maintained and stocked! The cleaned H Mart location I have ever visited in Washington or any other state.It almost seemed they hired an employee with OCD - all items are organized very nicely, and they stocked it that the brand names are facing you. The store is not small, either. It surely looked like they stepped up their game. I hope they keep this up.This location will be a massive plus for the downtowners.

I like this H Mart, its layout is intuitive and they have a good selection, however, it is smaller than what Im used to in Tacoma. But that isnt a criticism, its the space theyre working with. Their selections of items are very good so if youre not looking for something that may be out of the ordinary or super specific, you should find it there.Plus, all the staff are super upbeat, positive, and helpful!

Im so excited to find another Asian grocer even closer to my home. I had not seen it earlier, because its in the basement of its building, but its a great little find. The vegetable and fruit selection is fresh and varied. Like District H (another favorite), they have fresh poke and sashimi as well. Of course, they also have all the standard supplies for Asian cooking as well, or at least as much as they can for a small, downtown market. I am very pleased to have found them. Oh, also the cashiers are very pleasant and quick at the register.

I love this stores atmosphere, selection and general staff!BUT please be aware as BIPOC member, that some security staff are extremly aggressive! My daughter was surrounded wherever she went in the store and was accused of stealing with no evidence. She was followed upstairs and the security guard even tried to touch her. I am not sure what would have happened if I did not interfere. She is more shy and felt uncomfortable about his behavior. Again, no evidence!Management needs to do a much better job training their security employees.Sadly, based on her experience, we both will no longer shop there.

Pretty, deceptively little, market in downtown that turns into a proper grocery store when you go in. I was with a friend, not shopping, just snooping. It was nice and clean well run, fish looked wonderful, I was truly surprised by the variety of products given the size.. which, it turned out, was considerably larger inside. I was impressed

A newer location in downtown Seattle, very spacious and with large selection of items. Fruit, veggies, meat, snacks, seasoning, ramen, all sort of noodles, all you need for grocery. There is also a hot food area, bb.q Chicken sold there. It was a great visit, will definitely visit again.

H-Mart was a savior to many in our neighborhood during the stay at home order. Since it is a neighborhood market I could shop quite often in asafe atmosphere with people wearing mask, and with excellent sanitary conditions and great service . Great food selection with a large variety of foods . It would been a lot more difficult if they were not around. And they continue as resections get lighter to be there for us. Very happy with them indeed.

We got all we needed there during our week long trip near Pike Place Market. To take advantage of the Seattle experience, I recommend getting milk, eggs, bananas, bread, fruits that you like, and bacons for breakfast while staying in a place that you can cook near Pike Place Market.

This store felt smaller and with less variety that the Bellevue location. Definitely prefer the neighborhood in Bellevue since the distance is about the same for me. On first impression it looked closed and all boarded up but the location was open. The neighborhood was deserted on a weekend evening.
