H Mart San Diego - Balboa

Was in the area and the kids wanted some Buldak ramen. The spot is busy but shelves were completely stocked. The store is clean and I was able to find what I needed and more. My kids had been looking for the creamy carbonara and they had it stocked plus more. Definitely a great drop in.

I think the quality of items is about the same as 99 Ranch market which is right around the corner, but its just slightly more pricier. Really can't go wrong here. It's a premier store for Asian products and food. They have a great range of items from Ramen & Noodle, Instant & Quick Food, Snack & Candy & Nuts, Beverage & Coffee & Tea & Honey, Rice &GrainRice &Grain, Paste & Marinade & Sauce, Oil & Seasoning & Canned Goods, Seaweed & Dried Produce & Soup & more. There's an abundance of items that is on sale just for the week. I suggest you check out the website first before heading in person. And if the lines are long (which it can be especially with hot much parking is available and with how spacious it is inside), head to the food court and grab something to eat or to my personal favorite, the bakery section for some delicious goodies.

Hmart is pricy, but they have a lot of good quality things. Especially the meats, and a lot of the cold deli items. Their bulgogis, pork bellies, short ribs....I've never been disappointed. I have enjoyed their pumpkin porridge, pork ears, Kimchi, yellow radish, seasoned squid, seasoned dried squid, fish cakes, Soybean soups, short rib soups, vegetable Soybean soups....the only thing I wouldn't get again is the Japanese cucumber salad--way too salty. Produce seems to always be fresh, lots of Korean snacks available. I like the kimchi Mozzarella rice balls, and the mini sweet potato taiyaki from the frozen sections. Small selection of sushi/sashimi at the back of the store.The food court here is pretty good, too. I like Zzang Korean Rice Dogs; and Kyodong Noodle House has good black bean noodles. A bit sad that Bann Korean is gone, their pork belly with rice was fire! FYI, if you don't use your membership card in over 6 months, your points automatically reset.

The tea that I bought from the bakery store was honestly very tasty and served not too hot. The tea I ordered was the matcha late. It' was sweet and savory at the same time. The service was decent, the worker did have to ask me multiple times for my order which annoyed me but it was okay, still left a tip because the person who made the drink did a great job. The ambiance was great and gives off a "traditional" family outing.

I love this location way better than Mira mesa I just dislike that the beauty products is not connected to the grocery stores and it has different hours. Other than that the food here is great. They have many good choices and a lot of things in stock for great prices. The store in general is very clean even the bathrooms. Just a great grocery store.

The food kiosks in the front door area, the baked goods and coffees, so amazzzzingly creatively good! Go in, try something you've never had before. Walk through the mega aisles just turn around do a small part and leave. You can conquer the rest another day. This store is the perfect way to shake up your day

It's awesome to have such a nice and clean H mart in the community!!Many beautiful Asian products are ready to be sold!Products are nice and fresh! Highly recommended!Come and enjoy shopping Cheers

Smaller food court, but workable. 4 food stands and a bakery inside. The Jaws Express we came to check out is located inside. The banchans and ready made foods don't look as good as some H Marts. They have quite an extensive Buldak variety here and single cup packs too. As usual $0.10 a bag or you better bring your own bag. I don't think to bring a bag when I am traveling for grocery items. They only have off brand huge bottles of sriracha, I mistakenly bought that brand here and it tastes off. Cashiers are cold and indifferent here. Treats you like a transaction only.

Visiting from Florida - Never in my life have I seen such a market - almost totally catering to the Asian palate. Immense variety of fresh greens, vegetables, fruit - many of which are uncommon or completely unavailable in Florida shopping markets. Understandably, some items are pricey; some things such as dairy and eggs, every day items can be had at Ralph's (for example) for less. My wife was "All In" at the food court at this specific address. We wandered about wanting to sample something from every one of the options for lunch. She finally settled on an immense bowl from one of the Korean shops, loaded with seafood, shrimp, mussels, and a spicy broth.We especially liked the Korean milk brea offered in the bakery. This extra-light, extra delicious bread is unheard of in Florida.Completely satisfying day!Highly recommended.

There's not a weekend that goes by that we don't make a stop at our local H Mart. They always have what we need and more. We always try to get there around lunch so everyone can get their favorite Korean dish. This is a must on our weekend check list.
