First time in H mart

[Anonymous]

I went to HMART in the Wheaton location. Oh that place is wonderful. I bought some dumplings, a package of mangoes and udon noodles. I saw several rice cookers and my son picked up a back scratcher. We left both behind. I do admit I was a little intimidated and looked like a fish out of water. Are there other markets like this? What a great place!

All oriental markets hmart, lotte, ranch99 have similar setups.

Some HMarts have a food court and bakery in them too.

Amazing produce as well.

It's 99 Ranch, not Ranch 99.

The mangoes were 9 for 9.99. At Trader Joe’s it’s 2.49 for just 1. I’m a very happy person.

Produce has gotten pretty expensive at H-Mart.

At Whole Foods they're $5 for five.

We shop at Whole Foods weekly but go to H Mart for our Asian groceries and fresh mangoes. As usual, OP, please check ingredient labels for anything you want to avoid, like artificial colors, preservatives, MSG, that carcinogenic preservative in instant ramen noodles (cook them in water you throw out, then add the flavor packet with separately boiled water) etc.

Ha! I call it Ranch 99 also. It has a nice food court. Roasted meats and dim sum I have yet to try.

I was just at one near Atlanta. They had a bank, beauty supply and home goods supply in it too.

I’m at H Mart periodically to restock my supply of Okinawan sweet potatoes. If they were out of them when you arrived, I plead guilty.

It is a great experience for foodies!

“Asian markets”

[Anonymous]

Asian markets are fascinating, but I just feel completely out of place. I have no idea what most of the products are and how to use them, including the produce. Personally, I find the huge displays of fish especially intriguing but baffling. I know I can ask for help, but it just seems so intimidating.
