H Mart

If you’re looking for a taste of what it feels to be in Seoul, South Korea, a quick stop at the H-Mart on Yonge is a Head-first plunge into Korean life and culture. Aside from the importance that these and other similar marts play in everyday life and culture in Korea, you’ll come across some very rare South Korean staple foods that one would only expect to find in South Korea. Most notable in this regard are “Kimpap” (Korean version of Sushi) as well as “Kimchi”. The Hangul writing and distinctively unique Korean-style designs on the packaging of food offer an authentic South Korean cultural experience making the H-Mart more than worthy of a visit. Better yet, challenge yourself to have some squid or octopus or, if you’re feeling less adventurous, have some kimpap and/or kimchi.

It is your go to place for asian snacks and drinks. As well, they have ready to eat foods as well or pre cooked meals that need heating up. The selection for korean banchans is awesome as well as fresh raw fish and kimbaps. They also have a huge selection of instant noodles. Good shop, nice staff.

Based on many years of experiences at H mart in different locations, their customer service level is lacking compared to the competitor, Galleria supermarket.I emailed a customer service to express concern in the past, they never got back to me.It is convinient to get essential Korean food items and sometimes they have good promos on items, therefore I would still shop here but that does not mean that I am happy about their quality or service.Their prepared food/bakery items are okay, not that great. Produce is pretty fresh most of time tho.The other day I picked up a vegetable croquette for a snack and found very excessive amount of oil ( about a table spoonful) sitting in the package. I purchased croquette from H mart many times before and it was never like this. I met with a manager so he could speak to the bakery department. Manager’s reaction was not apologetic or anything, he just came up with an excuse like it was because plastic package was closed when croquette was still hot. According to him, people were complaining about cold croquette and microwave to heat up is not available, that is why they packaged when they were still hot. Well, if they drained deep fried croquette properly before they package them, it would not be like this.It is a shane that they don’t have any urgency to improve their customer service.

Just came in looking to buy some late night groceries, but kept on getting uncomfortably approached by one of the male staff (not the security) with long hair (that’s tied up). Upon entering the store, no one greets you and doesn’t seem to be interested in your business. The male staff on the floor immediately gave me a dirty look and kept on following me very closely while I was shopping for groceries. If I’m not mistaken, they have a security guard present (that’s always leaning on things) that’s on the floor because I see the same security leaning on things at the Ryerson/TMU location, so I don’t understand why is the floor staff following me so closely, is lost and prevention part of their responsibility? If so better training needs to be done, especially if you are going to have floor staff trying to do the job of a security officer.The male floor staff that decided to follow me so closely made it a very uncomfortable shopping experience as he didn’t offer any assistance nor did he greet me, he just kept following me through the aisles, eventually getting close to me near the beverage area, eventually he followed me all the way to the Gimbap area, so I decided to grab one, pay and leave the store immediately as I felt pressured to leave, ended up going elsewhere for the rest of my groceries.The gimbap was mediocre, the rice was dry, the cuts were rough and not even, the Saran Wrap wasn’t even packaged tightly so air got in, I honestly got this because everything else didn’t look so good and I felt pressured to leave even though the store was still opened for 40mins since posting this.Probably not returning to this if this is how you greet customers after they are looking to spend their hard earn money after they themselves have finished work, your customer service is pathetic, just like your produce quality.Please shop elsewhere

Purchased 3 chicken thighs for almost $10 that were labelled best before Feb 1st. Opened the package only to find all the chicken rotted and rancid smell. Not the first time this has happened at this location. Hoping the health inspectors look into this

Discovered this Korean Store while walking to the nearby subway. Couldn’t help but go in and get lost in world of Korean food. I got a packed Kimchi Fried Rice but it wasn’t spicy at all. I want to believe that their fresh food tastes good. The red bean cake was just so-so.

Love this store people. They have a good section on tea, and cup noodles here. Prices can be higher then other places but it's right DT so I guess that's to be expected.

Very convenient H-Mart location near Bloor Subway Station. Products are always fresh and they have a nice corner of ready-to-eat food! Very organized and always stocked by staff. Great pitstop for a quick snack. If you're interested in more hot food, also visit the location just north of Dundas Station as it has a food booth as well.
