H-mart is one of my fav asian grocery stores and was very excited to now have one in my hometown of Irvine. This store is awesome with a food hall to the left with incredible food and a large market, I've loved coming to grab all my asian grocery needs. The only thing I was bummed about it the limited home supply section where they didn't appear to sell a musubi mold, only circular ones which was bizarre to me as I imagine it's a popular item people want. I love the variety of veggies, fruits, seafood/meat and everything else.

The HMart in Irvine Northpark has become my favorite among the Irvine locations I've visited, including Westpark Plaza and Diamond Jamboree. It's also bigger than the HMart in Arcadia. This store is located in the Northpark Plaza, which has ample parking, making it easy to find a spot even on a busy night. The plaza also has a mix of convenient spots like Chipotle, MooMoo Hotpot, Chase Bank, Chevron, Supercuts, and several boba shops. When you enter, you're greeted by the bakery Tous Les Jours Café on the left, which has a good selection of fresh pastries and bread. Further in, you'll find the food hall, featuring popular eateries like Cho Dang, Paik Noodles, CHD, and KTown, with another restaurant, Moobongri, opening soon. For quick bites, the grab-and-go section within the market is a good option, though it was a bit low on stock when I visited, with mostly corn, kimbap, and a few proteins left. A fun new addition to this HMart is the Art Box store on the right side of the entrance. It's a "Korean Creativity Store" with a lot of unique items like stationery, cards, plushies, bags, lunch boxes, and more. The store is filled with adorable things, though the prices are a bit steep--many items are priced in Korean won, and you'll have to check the conversion to USD listed in the store. I picked up two cute pens for $2.59 each! The cashier service was also great - very quick and efficient with many check-out aisles opened. Overall, this HMart has everything you'd expect--well-organized aisles, a great selection of Asian groceries, fresh produce, and meats--all in a clean, inviting space. If you're in the area, this HMart is a top pick for convenience and a well-rounded shopping experience!

I was very surprised how clean and organized this grocery store is compared to other Asian groceries I've been to. Their veggies and fruit section look fresh and great quality. I was impressed with all their pre-marinated meat section - they had so many to choose from and they all looked good. I ended up grabbing some marinated bulgolgi to take home. And then on top of that there's a cute bakery and a food court inside. Very clean and spacious eating area. The foodie in me wants to come back here again to grab lunch or dinner!

This place is awesome if you are looking to cook some delicious Korean BBQ at home. They have pre packaged marinated bulgogi, short Ribs, and others. Large selection of sides as well! My family and I travel from Ontario to come here since there's no locations in the Inland Empire. Hopefully they put a location here soon closer to us! Great Korean store with a large variety of Korean and other Asian products in General.

After work, I stopped in here to check out their snacks. The store was clean and well organized. It was very easy to find stuff. I also found that their prices were pretty competitive. They shared a large parking lot with other businesses in the Northpark Plaza with plenty of available parking. I would definitely do most of my food shopping here if I lived closer.

TOUR DE JOUR REVIEW ONLY: COFFEE: Butter Pecan Latte & Pumpkin Pie Latte (seasonal drinks) are not too sweet (best compliment amirite) and just right. My BF always gets black coffee and he likes them! PASTRIES: The sausage bun and milk cream buns are delicious.
