“ H Mart in Tigard would be my weekly go-to grocery store if they had more of the items (American) I use regularly but if you have an Asian recipe you want to try, THIS is the place to shop for your ingredients. H Mart has everything Asian: China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, with an emphasis on Korean, most anyone could ask for. The store is generally clean and well-stocked but aisles can be clogged with boxes of items waiting to be shelved. This just says to me that freshness is important here. The produce is exceptionally fresh, from Thai basil, long beans, Chinese broccoli (so much better than American), bok choy, mustard greens, and winter radish. And the fruit section is much better than any American market and much more diverse: jack fruit, mango, dragon fruit (don't be afraid of how it looks), THE BEST Asian pears, and yes, that stinky durian (try the ice cream). The seafood section is phenomenal. Clean, not smelly like a lot of other places, plus they have a live tank system where you can pick your own crab, lobster, fish, clams, and oysters. I've never had a problem communicating with staff in preparing or cutting what I buy the way I want it. Be patient and polite. The deli section is where I lose it. Lots and lots of ready-to-eat home cooked (mostly) Korean food is available for purchase by weight that is hard to resist. The Korean soups and stews are a staple in our house. We recently bought sushi, tuna and shrimp rolls ($6.99 each) that were delicious. We regularly have house-made kimchi in our fridge, as well as many banchans, also made from scratch daily. The liquor and housewares sections are both fun to stroll through. I love the organizing section in housewares since I can always use help getting my kitchen organized and tidied up. I love all the wooden cooking utensils and pretty dinnerware along with the interesting cutlery on display. Great place to buy an unusual gift for someone who appreciates something new and fun, too. While many reviewers have complained of rudeness, unfriendliness and a lack of smiling by staff, I have found you reap what you sow. Social behavior is largely cultural and I keep this in mind in order to not feel slighted, or offended when the checker, for example, doesn't greet me in the way I expect. It's usually never personal so don't make it a big deal. Employees are overall nice and helpful -whether they speak English or not- and prices are exceptional. ”
