Super H Mart

Okay I was on the hunt for fresh seafood specifically shrimp with the head on. After reading some reviews and hearing how this place had some of the best seafood I ventured out of my comfort zone to check it out.
Hands down this place had some of the best looking seafood and even red meat cuts that I had ever seen. I would definitely suggest if looking for fresh meat to check spot out.

Geeat place for authentic Korean food. Had a hot stone bbq bowl. The miso comes on the side to pour in and a raw egg that cooks in the pot pretty yummy. Problem w korean food is a little one tone because they put kimchi in EVERYTHING. Its a good cultural experience though and its like you’ve been transported. The eateries are to the left once you come in and you have quite a variety.

This is our favorite Asian market in Houston! I’m Japanese but I love the Korean market, Super H Mart! We always go there because they are clean and they have good deals! The food court is great too. They have goooood Korean food! Thank you!

Found this place by luck. I exit to beat the i10 traffic and saw it, did not have time then I told my wife about it and we made a trip that weekend for a visit. From then we’ve been shopping there and when we are there we have dinner all the time: shopping and Korean food WOW can’t beat it. All my family come here to shop. Ohh yes FRESH KIMCHEE TOOOOO.
Best ever 5star for this place.

Clean and convenient not overly crowded like other Asian markets lots to chose from most Korean products unlike 99ranch witch has more of a mix. Good food court including Korean BBQ, fried Chicken, stone soup and order Korean traditional foods as well as a bakery and cosmetic store.

This place is awesome!!! Very clean filled with fresh Asian foodie delights. There is so much here that I recommend you look up your recipe and come in with your list. There is even a nice selection of food vendors (food court) like I’ve been to in Taipei. The variety of vegetables should be large like (99 Ranch Market on Blalock). The seafood market is off the charts and selection of Kimchi is the largest I’ve ever seen. I could shop here every day; in my next life I am a sumo.

I was impressed upon my first visit to this local Asian grocery story. Upon entering, you will notice a flower vendor. Her selection is small but they are some very nice orchids and bamboo available.
Inside the store, you’ll notice that many of the signs are not written in English. There are also a wide variety of exotic fruit, veggies, munchies and beverages. I was very impressed with the fresh seafood department. The clams and scallops were huge and the blue crabs were very active. I’ll be back for those for sure. LOL

H Mart is very clean for an Asian supermarket. Doesn’t smell like the ones in Chinatown. Lots of samples today (Saturday 5÷7÷16). They have live crawfish on ice so you can pick the lucky ones for your next meal. I can’t remember the price, but I think it was about $ 2.49-$ 2.69/lb?
What was really awesome was the Tuna Tasting which is the 1^st weekend (Saturday/​Sunday) of every month! Very generous with the raw (blue fin) tuna samples. Delicious if you love raw fish! I’ve never seen the fish cut right before my eyes and ready to eat. I was with my sister-​in-​law who’s from Japan; she said this is very normal there. The tuna was also packaged, iced, and sold for $ 29.99/lb. Fatty tuna (toro) is sold at $ 39.99/lb. We were very tempted to buy it but decided to buy some salmon for $ 16.99/lb instead.

This is not just an ordinary market, why? i’m not really sure. But i hope this caught your attention … as in this moment you realized you have no life for reading this LOL im just kidding ! but anyways, i came here for lunch and the food was really good =) i would recommend trying the korean fried chicken; garlic or soy sauce are both pretty good 7pc for 10 $ or 14 pc for 18 $. Another dish that you can also try is the udon seafood, its pretty good as well !

I love Korean supermarkets, especially if they have restaurants within them! Not to mention, they have a bakery (satisfies my craving for sweets) and cosmetic shop (I love Korean skincare products)!
Pros:
Fresh produce, vegetables, seafood, meat
Quality of their products
They’re pretty clean
Skincare products
Food court is my favorite part of the store (Daddy n daughter — Jappong… spicy seafood noodle soup is my go to comfort food)
Great variety of Korean grocery and specialty items
Cons:
Can’t find one yet!

For the best fish quality, quantity, variety, and price, go to H-​Mart!
They carry wild caught and farm raised fish of many kinds. I’m talking black snapper, white bass, yellow tail, cod, tilapia, catfish… I bought the first three for a smokeout day (where we smoked seafood for 4 hours). I definitely don’t discriminate.
Here’s the killer part — or rather the vivacious part — H-​Mart caries live fish! They’re not quite kicking but they’re definitely swimming: halibut — from Korea, no less! — sea squirts, sea cucumbers, dungeoness crabs, LOBSTERS — all at very reasonable prices! The halibut sashimi is the best because the fish literally is alive until you fillet it. The flesh is so fresh it’s almost chewy, and with a dab of wasabi and soy sauce, it’s a party in your mouth. Awesome.

I love a good grocery store… especially an Asian one and H-​mart is the grocery store to rule them all. It is clean, the employees are helpful, and the prices can’t be beat. I’ve been coming to H-​mart for years now and here are my favorite things to shop for:
1. Cheap fresh sashimi-​grade fish: at $ 16.99/lb for salmon or mixed fish cuts (tilapia, tuna, salmon, and fluke) or $ 24/​lb for tuna, the prices for sashimi cannot be beat — definitely beats paying $ 2/​piece in a restaurant. You can buy them as pre-​cut slices or in a giant filet, ready to be made into poke. Across the way you can buy most any kind of frozen fish as well, including BBQ eel and salmon roe for cheap. Make note — you gotta eat these within 2 days of purchase since they’re all previously frozen (as all sashimi-​grade fish is), it’s not a good idea to re-​freeze them.
2. While you’re in the sashimi section, be sure to check out the fresh seafood counter. There are dozens of variety of fresh fish for very competitive prices. And you can pick out live lobster, crabs, and other sea creatures too.
3. Ready-​made Korean goodies: kimbap, Korean pancakes, veggie combos, soups, salads, tofu, kimchi, steamed egg, purple rice, and much, much more. I love to pick up a variety of ready to eat foods to give me a few healthy, easy to prepare meals at home or to set up for a Korean BBQ night at home.
4. MEAT: their meat counter features deliciously pre-​marinated meats, including chicken thighs, short rib, and bulgolgi. I normally refuse to pay for pre-​marinated stuff but trust me, H-​mart pre-​marinated chicken is out of this world! They also feature a HUGE frozen and fresh section of thinly sliced beef/​pork/​chicken for hotpot or grilling as well as very reasonably priced kalbi (short rib). Everything is very neatly labelled and fresh. Be sure to pick up a bottle of Korean BBQ marinade if you plan on saucing your own meat at home and grab some red leaf lettuce and sides to complete your meal.
5. Korean snacks: I always make sure to stock up on my favorite Asian snacks here. Snack-​sized seaweed, Chocoheim (think Ferrero Rocher in kit kat form — so good!), Quadratini, Hi-​Chew, and more. You can also find all the traditional favorites, like yan yan, pocky, and shrimp chips. Oh and the RAMEN section is unbelievable. Be sure to try out South Korean’s famous Shin ramen… it’s the perfect spicy, hot meal on a cold day.
6. Korean food stalls: These close 1 hr before (9pm) the rest of the store closes (10pm) so get here early if you’re planning on dinner. There’s a variety of different stalls to choose from, all counter service, and some of which offer free sides (kim chi, seaweed) or sell additional ready to go items like bibimbap. The portion sizes are generous and the prices are very reasonable compared to eating out at a Korean restaurant so I always make sure to come to H-​mart hungry. My favorites are the fried chicken, bibimbap and seafood soups.
7. Korean baked goods: In the front there’s a small bakery featuring Korean baked goods. Maybe I picked out the wrong pastries to try out, but I was not a huge fan of the breads I’ve had here. I guess I’m more of a Chinese bakery kind of person :)

H Mart! I go here when I need Korean-​themed items, mainly if I need to make kimchi or want fresh rice cakes for ddeokbokki. That’s why I love this place — they have a good and reasonably priced produce section, a wonderful kimchi department, a decent fresh rice cake section, an awesome food court, and sections for noodles, sauces like dwenjang, gochujang, etc.
Basically, when I get a craving for Korean food, I come here.
The place is pretty crowded, especially during lunch time and on the weekends. I tend to stop by on week nights so parking is better. Otherwise, good luck! The place is kept pretty clean as well, which is great.
The selection is good. They give out samples, most of which I can’t partake in (I’m vegetarian and no onion, garlic, leeks, or chives, which is why I need to make my own kimchi and pretty much everything from scratch) and that Tous les Jours Bakery at the front of the market just brings me back to when I lived in Korea, other than the prices. Prices here are definitely more expensive. When this place first opened, it was literally like stepping back to my life in Korea, but they hire a lot more non-​Koreans now so it’s similar to the 99 Ranch down the street. Not a bad thing, since you have a much more diverse customer base here, but not quite as authentic, though they do have little shops in the front selling Korean cosmetics and clothing. They also have a home goods section selling Korean cooking items. Not quite cheap, but they’re there if you need them.
All in all, I make a visit every now and then and it’s always nice to browse a bit!

H Mart has the brand and the quality you need. Even if the prices, especially for meat, might be slightly higher, most vegetable, sauce, brand is there! I usually go once a weekend to stock up on my Kimchi (Korean brand), pre-​marinated meat (they have great sales), and vegetables such as snow pea leaves and garlic leaves.
I am also a huge fan of their food court section. Having tried about three Korean restaurants in Houston, H Mart is the place you’ll get the most bang for your buck. My favorites are Daddy and Daughter (mostly Korean Chinese dish), Bibijo Express (I usually order the oxtail soup– Gori Gomtang) and The ToreOre (Korean fried chicken).
At least visit once. You won’t regret walking through the clean aisles and display while drooling over the food court and its bakery (just kidding the bakery is average…).
Price range:
Groceries: Higher than Ranch 99. So I would say it is your Kroger to Walmart
Food court: CHEAP. CHEAP. CHEAP. You would spend around $ 7 – 12 for an abundant dish.
For your entertainment, I am listing my weekly mandatory purchases incase you would like to expand your grocery selection with some tasty but essential goods that add value to our daily lives: seaweed, Japanese Natto (fermented soybeans I use over rice), Kimchi, Korean ice cream (Tank Boy is my favorite), frozen dumplings that can easily be steamed in 3 minutes, naengmyun, and honey ginger /​citrus tea in a jar!

Was in Pearland visiting my good friend and told her we don’t have H Mart in NOLA, so Pleeeeeeazzze could we go? ABSOLUTELY!
Oh, it was so nice to be amongst other Asians again, even if only for a few moments. This H Mart has yummy yummy side restaurants at the entrance; one has the obligatory Boba tea (which is delicious, BTW).
Ohhhh, the samples were aplenty, the groceries were delightful. It is similar to other H Marts, but I found this one to be exceptionally clean, and seemed airy inside. I like it. And I will return. I am hungry, and all I can think about is the Jjajangmyun (black bean noodles).
Please visit here. The produce and groceries are very reasonable, borderline cheap. And the kimbap made in-​store is also pretty good.

Finally! We went to H-​mart.
I really wanted to make sushi bowls and they literally have everything I needed.
We will be coming back frequently. There’s a variety of fish great for ceviche and they have pre-​made soups and other dishes that you can cook right away. It gets very pack but I think it’s worth it.

I’m a big fan of this market even though it’s way overpriced! Yup, you read it right, there are some, oh nope, a lot of items that you can find at other places for cheaper price. But it comes to the point I did not even care anymore, you know why? Here is the list of my insane reasons:
— They have lots and lots of Asian snacks, and by that I mean Japanese and Korean. And for God’s sake, they carry green tea and sometimes strawberry Kit Kat, woot woot.
— They have variety of fresh seafood to pick from, I haven’t had any bad experience about the seafood yet, so far so good, so I really recommend this market if you are craving for some fresh water creatures. Sometimes they even have fresh eels, gosh, thank you!
— Talking about meat, they have many many cuts of meat (beef, pork and chicken) that you can choose from. I love the fact that they also carry KOBE beef, I want to eat fancy once in a while, you know. I extremely love their pork belly and beef ribs because they cut them in nicely shape and make my life so much easier.
— Even they carry limited amount of groceries and fruit, but I still give them a thumb up. If you’re looking for other Asian fresh groceries ingredients other than Korean and Japanese, there is a chance that you could not find them here (for example: they do not have enough options for Asian herbs, only have basil, mint, cilantro while shiso, Vietnamese coriander and other kinds are nowhere to be found in the market).
— They have exotic Asian fruit, wohooo, rambutan, jujube, longan, lychee, guava … and most of the time they are super fresh (the price is not much of a difference compared to Ranch 99).
— Last but not least, want to make a traditional Korean and Japanese dish? You will definitely find 99% of your required ingredients here.
— DON’T FORGET to sign up for their H-​MART loyalty card (not credit card) and put down your REAL Address if you want to receive their COUPON book in the mail. I had used some of valuable and useful coupons, so you should give it a go. Other than that, every $ 1000 you spend to shop here, you will have $ 10 rewards. Good right?
To sum up, this is a good place to shop, especially if you have big love for Asian food. Or even you want some place to wander around and be surrounded by authentic Koreans, it’s definitely a place.

I love coming to H-​Mart for both groceries as well as to grab a bite to eat.
They have a great assortment of dishes served up in their dining area. My favorite go-​to is the jjambbong served up at Daddy and Daughter. The broth is so creamy and delicious and the portions are ginormous. I can usually polish the bowl clean because it’s that good.
I’ve recently developed a liking for the fried chicken at the The ToreOre. Their boneless fried chicken with rice cakes is my new go-​to. The chicken is really crispy and has a really good sweet sauce glazed over it. The rice cakes are nice and chewy and is a good accompaniment to the chicken.
They have a great selection of Korean/​Asian grocery items, and I can usually find any Korean specialty item I need here. Their produce is relatively fresh as well and the prices are moderate.

In summary: great Korean grocery store that has a good selection of Asian food, also has a great selection of Korean cafes with a huge variety of options.
My girlfriend and I come here all the time for groceries and quite often we eat here from one of the cafes.
When it comes to the groceries, HMart has a great selection of meat and fresh seafood. They also have lots of options when it comes to Korean food brands. They have a vast array of produce that’s well groomed. We’ve never had bad produce from here. Don’t be fooled — HMart also carries most American food staples as well, so you can get all your shopping done in one place.
The cafes have a wide assortment from bibimbap to seafood stews to jjajangmyun. This HMart also has a bakery too. They’re all seemingly family owned and operated by really friendly people. It’s a real treat to eat here.
If you’re looking for a great shopping experience with a good selection of fresh food (and cafes too) check out this HMart.

Frodo: [Super H Mart]… I hope the others find a safer road.
Sam: Strider’ll look after them.
Frodo: I don’t suppose we’ll ever see them again.
Sam: We may yet, Mr. Frodo. We may.
Frodo: Sam… I’m glad you’re with me.
Perfect example of two happy customers.
I love h-​mart.
In my opinion, its the best ethnic/​Korean supermarket for everyone. I witnessed an american boy posing for a selfie with an inappropriately large gourd-​fruit, probably for his grandma bless his heart.
When I heard there was a SUPER h-​mart my hands immediately trembled, my eyes burned from the repressed tears, and I sat there; alone, like Mr. Frodo.
This past weekend I embarked on a treacherous journey through the rain and Houston’s humidity. I didn’t care. This is a «Super h mart», «Capital H, son», THE Capital of Asian supermarkets.
[Inside]
Very spread out inside. Spacious. The produce section is just ridiculous to look at. I should had took a panoramic photo.
Onward, as you step in you see and smell the deliciousness of food shops set up with Kimbap, Bibimbap, KBBQ, and other delicacies. Took a gander at the cosmetic shop to see if I needed a resupply of anything. No time.
The pre-​marinated pounds of ribs, mounds of meat-​cuts, and fresh banchan was Christmas with every turn. So sad our car didn’t have enough room in the cooler. I could only place my hand on the glass pane, mumbling a few kind words and had to move on without looking back. Fox & the Hound style.
[Seafood]
Impressed. So clean.
[Samples]
Dear lord, they were frying up pork belly in the aisles. These fine Ajumma’s were single handling boosting the sales. Its like frying bacon in the meat section, so not fair.
[Misc]
We found the aluminium/​metal chopsticks my mom has been wanting. But was 99 cents per stick. Forget it. Chopstick needed to be made out of gold for that price. Still very nice.
[Overall]
HEB: HEB Plus
h mart: Super H Mart
You can’t beat the variety in the produce section. As well as not laugh at the abnormally inappropriate shapes of the produce. I’d recommend bringing a large cooler for this grocery trip to stock up. Try not to get food coma from all the BBQ if you need to journey far back home.
Or else…
‘Frodo, Mr. Frodo!’ he called. ‘Don’t leave me here alone! It’s your Sam calling. Don’t go where I can’t follow! Wake up, Mr. Frodo! O wake up, Frodo, me dear, me dear. Wake up!”
