The quality of the bakery products and luncheon selections is like the fine establishments in Europe. The service is quick and friendly.
Before walking on Robson we stopped in for coffee and scones and to sit on the heated patio. The americano coffees were perfect and the scones were YUMMY - cheddar and green onion and raspberry and dark chocolate chips. We took home a apple pistachio strudel and a multi grain bread.
Great selection of hot pot meat, korean bbq, korean drinks. Convenient location in the heart of downtown. Sadly their bakery got smaller. Some of their fruits were rotten. I hope they fix this issue. Overall, huge selection of korean goodies
Man this store changed my life when I 1st moved to Vancouver I lived in the building above this place. Never went in for the 1st year my Filipino girl moved in with me a year later and this was my go to spot for all kinds of Interesting stuff. Bakery shop at the front is ridiculous And ? Delicious. Upstairs grocery stores pretty dope too I don't know a lot of stuff up there It's not in English lol but a lot of it taste really good. The vegetables and fruits were fresh when. And for the most part staff were friendly
Quite pricey but can’t complain since it is right the downtown Vancouver and pretty easy accessible from public transit.Used to love their food court items but food quality def going downside. Won’t recommend coming to eat here but shop here isn’t bad since they have a wide variety of Korean products to offer.Never find the cosmetic area staff disturbing or anything.Will stop by sometimes if I’m looking for Korean stuff.
Their service is terrible and cannot find any employee to ask some questions.. Hard to find products and if I ask somebody working at this store they don’t response or their attitude is unacceptable. (I do not expect astonishing service from this store though it should be better than now at lease responding from customers).I use this store because i live nearby this place otherwise i will not use this store.
They have lots of imported products. I would say the main variety is candies and chips (snacks). On the first floor is located the bakery. They have cute birthday cakes and mini cakes or slices as well. Sometimes they also have roasted sweet potato. It is so good with coffee. Behind of the bakery there is a little store where you can find cosmetics and cute stuffed animals. The second floor is the mini grocery area an the large snack corner with lots of imported products. There is also a food court. I didn't try any food from there.
As talked to a Foodie friend about Korean foods the night before, I felt craving for K-foods today and I went to the H-mart in downtown to refill some Korean spicy noodles and had a late lunch there.This restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of H-mart with some Window seats. You can call this place a mini-foodcourt with ample of choices for Korean dishes.I am a K-foods lover. Before I arrived Vancouver, I dined out for K-cuisine frequently in Hong Kong and the K-foods are often quite pricey but not value for money.I have been to H-mart several time and I didn’t have much expectation on the food stall inside the supermarket, but surprisingly the quality was good and the portion exceeded my expectation in terms of price.I ordered Stone pot BBQ beef with beansprouts and glass noodles and Sweet and Spicy fried Chicken (small size). The stone pot BBQ beef tasted authentic (I could see the chef and servers are all Koreans). It would be better if there were more beef and glass noodles. It came with rice and Kimchee. The sweet and spicy fried chicken was crispy and delicious. Small size portion was not small for one person and I didn’t waste any foods. :)For the environment and service perspectives, the place was not crowded. It was tidy and having good air ventilation. The server was polite and helpful. I had a very stuffed stomach and good experience here.
This is my closest Korean grocery store so have visited this store a couple of times and frankly it is definitely not my favourite Asian store. They do flyer promotion every weekend so couple of things are on sale but those items are not stocked (even when I visit on Friday) and still the prices remain high. The produce is of questionable freshness and you really have to choose well. The kimchi is always super ripe and old. The checkout people are always sullen. Finally the kimchi fried rice was the worst I’ve had. This h mart is not comparable to h mart in USA.
Just a quick review. This place in the West end is open 24hrs a day. Great pastries! I tried about 6 different pastries in 3 days. Gained 7 pounds but it was worth it.
