H Mart (short for Han Ah Reum Mart, where “Han Ah Reum” means roughly “one armful of groceries” in Korean; founded 1982 in Woodside Queens New York by Il Yeon Kwon as a small Korean grocery store) is the largest Asian-American supermarket chain in the US, with about 100 stores across 14-plus states, headquartered in Lyndhurst New Jersey, carrying heavy Korean assortment plus pan-Asian Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Filipino groceries.
The questions readers actually ask: what time does H Mart open today, when does the store close, are they open Sunday or Saturday, are they open on Christmas and Thanksgiving and Easter, what the in-store food court hours are, and where the nearest H Mart is located.

What hours does the H Mart food court keep?
Most full-size H Mart locations include an in-store food court with Korean BBQ, bibimbap, sushi, ramen, tonkatsu, and Korean street-food vendors. Food court vendors are typically independently operated by individual restaurant owners, and each vendor sets its own hours; the typical pattern is opening with the main store at 9:00 AM or 10:00 AM and closing one to two hours before main store close (7:00 PM or 8:00 PM at most stores). Some food court vendors close one day a week (often Monday or Tuesday) for prep and equipment cleaning even when the main store is open. Smaller H Mart stores without a food court still have in-store hot prepared foods and the banchan bar.
What is the H Mart banchan bar?
Banchan are Korean small side dishes that accompany rice and main courses at every Korean meal. The H Mart banchan bar is a self-serve section with 30 to 50 prepared Korean side dishes (kimchi varieties, japchae glass noodles, marinated vegetables, dried fish, tofu, pickled radish, seasoned spinach, anchovies) sold by the pound or in pre-portioned containers. Banchan stays fresh refrigerated for 1 to 2 weeks and is the fastest way to get a complete Korean meal at home. The banchan bar is one of H Mart's signature features and a primary reason Korean-American families shop weekly at H Mart even when conventional grocery items are cheaper at other supermarkets.
Does H Mart have a loyalty program?
Yes. H Mart Plus is the H Mart customer loyalty program (free; varies by region as some H Mart stores in different states use slightly different versions). Members earn points on every purchase that convert to dollar-off rewards, plus weekly digital coupons, exclusive sale prices, and birthday rewards.
