H Mart - Irvine Northpark

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!

The new H Mart in Irvine opened in January 2023 at Northpark Plaza. When it first opened, the food court was crowded with many people. It has been more than a year since we last dined in here. When seeing not so many customers in the food court, I was quite surprised. However, after just five minutes, I completely understood why.Advice to the Upper Management: Please consider following the example set by Mitsuwa Marketplace. Despite having a small food court, they employ two people to clean the dining tables for customers. This food court at Northpark Plaza is significantly larger, but there are no staff members cleaning the tables or the floor. That's why they are so dirty. Customers should not have to clean up after themselves. Please have more napkins on each table. Cutting back on labor costs in this area is not advisable. We don't want to dine in an environment which makes us feel uncomfortable. We won't return until they improve !

Review for TOUS les JOURS. Horrible customer service, employees have attitude and do not understand their own policy and establishment has FALSE advertisement. Highly recommended to NOT spend your hard earned money at this location.

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.

While the H in H Mart (Han Ah Reum) may roughly translate to "one armful" of groceries, you better grab one of those red shopping carts because you're going to need it! This supermarket has every ingredient you need to cook any Korean dish at home. They also carry a wide selection of Western and pan-Asian products as well. Admittedly, many of their items are more expensive compared to other grocery stores. But I'll occasionally buy a few things when they go on sale: Produce: Boxes of pears for gift-giving, Sungold kiwis for personal consumption. Asparagus, bok choy, scallions, etc. if I'm feeling healthy and need to add a few greens to my diet. Protein: Salmon, yellow croaker, bream, fillets, and other fish. Extra soft tofu for soup, or the BCD starter kit if I'm lazy. Marinated short ribs for grilling at home! Prepared foods: Rice rolls (kimbap) and lunchboxes (dosirak) for a quick meal! Grains and Noodles: frozen rice cakes for soups, short grain rice, sweet pancakes (hotteok), frozen udon blocks, and confectionary rice cakes I used to get instant noodles, snacks, and ice cream, but it's better to buy those elsewhere. The $4 5.6 oz bag of Orion Choco Churros turtle chips were less than $3 at 99 Ranch. Costco had a 17 oz bag for $7. Food court here is lacking, but overall it's a typical H Mart and the experience is consistent with their other locations!

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.

Wow. From 5 stars straight down to zero (1). I came by this evening and had a very negative experience at the Customer Service desk. Here's what happened. When a customer comes over to the desk and it's super quiet (not busy) there, it's human common sense to expect some sort of greeting. She looked like a robot and just stared at me so I said hello and how are you? With a nice positive smile with my eyes and joyful inflection in my voice. She just continues to stare blankly at me. So I point to my ear and sincerely ask can you hear me? Perhaps she didn't hear me. She rudely says I can hear you. No other words. WHAT? So a customer does YOUR job with a friendly greeting and you behave like that? So then I thought she perhaps could not speak English. So I offer that she could speak to me in Korean if she prefers. She then ignores this and continues to speak to me in English though she clearly was struggling.I am bilingual and am very patient so this complaint is not about English as a second language. This is a complaint about plain rudeness and no attempt at basic customer service 101. Unbelievable. Management, please address this. Please do not copy and paste a templated response. I've noticed that all responses to reviews are identical -- asking us to send an email. I have nothing to add in an email. The above are the full details of my experience.

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.

This store used to be Albertsons. I do miss Albertsons, though I'm happier with Hmart. The fruits and vegetables sections is great. I like their korean bbq premarinated meat section as well. The store is very clean and they do have good service too. Parking is hectic because it's so crowded. I would avoid weekends
