Han Ah Reum

This place is gigantic, probably the biggest among the three in the area. It has everything you need. Prices are not cheap, but reasonable for korean food. I like the food court, especially the spicy pork.

Great Asian market that has everything you would ever want including veggie meats seafood and everything in between

This one is bigger than the newest H Mart in the area in Fort Lee. I generally chose Whole Foods over any other grocery store but for the love of Korean food, we absolutely have to get some Korean condiments and other necessities that can only be found in Korean supermarkets. This location used to be our go-​to but not anymore. The Linwood plaza one in Fort Lee is a minute away and so much cleaner. This one has gotten dirty over the past couple of years and there’s always just so many people.
The fish section is good as any other H Mart but nothing about this location stands out. Parking is an absolute war zone on weekends.
The cashiers also make mistakes in calculating very often so watch out.
I wouldn’t recommend this H Mart over the two in Fort Lee.

To all customers :
Do not buy precut fish in this outfit,
Store uses ammonia to revitalize fish.
We bought skate wing in May 15, store it in the freezer till May 22, baked it and voila! — acrid pungent smell !!!
Disgusting!
And we like this store so much for their fresh fish, organic mushrooms and fruits.
Too bad.

Honestly, honestly I don’t get this place but specifically the positive reviews. I went there so enthusiasticly and expecting great prices, space and a good grocery food destination.
I mean no disrespect but… Let me just tell you this; my hubby who HATES Walmart with a pure passion was a little horrified by this place and actually told me that after seeing this place (he’d never thought he’d say this), that Walmart was so much cleaner, spacious, pleasant and nicer in general. He thought it was luxurious compared to this.
What I saw was a smaller store with a weird layout. Granted the fruit and veggies sections were buffer but everything else was crowded and just cluttered.
The store especially the fish area and the canned goods area etc was dirty with things out in the open.
As for prices, they don’t even come close to Walmart for the same thing if you spend the extra minute. Actually my local grocery store beat their prices on a few of their items!!!
The only great price was on meat but I don’t see myself coming just for this.
Simply put, if you’re looking for cheap with similar quality go 5 min down the road to Walmart.
If you’re looking for Asian groceries go to Mitsuwa. So much cleaner and nice.

This is my perfect HMart after exploring HMarts in Philadelphia, NYC, and North Jersey!
It’s always very easy to find things that I need, and it’s so spacious! They even have a special corner section just for home appliances and household items. Towards the back, there are the fresh banchan section, then of course after that is my go-​to place to eat!

Came across uni again during my grocery run. It’s the same price as han nam, it’s also california uni but it’s not as fresh, the worst part was some of the uni at the market was nearly grey. yuck!!! Choose wisely, if you can, definitely go to han nam! I still bought a pack to compare, they had pretty fresh ones that were a bright orange but the next day it started to go bad and it tasted really bitter and had an awful plastic tasting after taste. Shop carefully.

What can I say. I don’t know if this is THE original or not, but this is the first H-​Mart and I’d be perfectly happy if it were the last. They’ve got everything you can think of and you could ever want. And they know it. They the sheet and don’t give a hoot whether they get your business or not. They know you comin’ back. And they’re right.
Banchan, they got it.
Kimchi, they got it.
Ramen, they got it.
Ice Cream, they got it.
Cuckoo rice cooker, they got it. Although on Mondays-​Saturdays.
Korean medicine, they got it. Although only until 9pm.
Whatcha want, they got it.
Be sure to check their weekly deals before you start shopping!

The location in Edison is better.
It is about as big, better designed, has a bigger /​better seafood department (live geoducks last time I was there) vastly better parking and local driving, and plenty of restaurants outside and inside the building.
That said, this place is really nice if it is closer and more convenient for you. I was simply annoyed because reviewers said this was THE H-​mart when in reality the one in Edison is better in nearly every way.

5-​star reviews are given rather liberally but Han Ah Reum (Super H-​Mart) in Ridgefield deserves one. I’ll be honest, I look forward to going here (it’s a bit of a hike for me) like little kids look forward to going to Disneyland. Amazing variety of Korean essentials and hard-​to-​find ingredients. Extremely fresh baked goods, meat, fish and produce. Impeccably clean. Courteous, helpful employees. Prices are reasonable to inexpensive. I’m rather well-​versed in Korean cuisine but I end up finding something new here every time I visit. The various stores-​within-​stores are also great for picking up non-​grocery items when you’re visiting. Han Ah Reum can get rather busy on the weekends… but all the delicious samples are well worth the crowds!

amazing market. the bread is amazing. there this green tea bread. fine that! get that! dip it in milk! sooooooo good. great prices! international selection! and the fish market is one of the best in nj! super fresh fish and shrimp!
han ah reum rocks!

This was my place to get groceries when I still went to school up North. Everything’s super fresh, and they have a huge selection. From time to time me and my friends would come here just to eat. They have a food court in the back with a good selection of food and what not, and it’s never busy to the point where it’s unpleasant. I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten everything on their menu by now. Their Kimchi Jjigae is pretty bomb.
I will say this (as a general statement): Korean supermarkets (and most Asian supermarkets) trump American supermarkets in that they tend to ACTUALLY have everything you may be needing.
Their ready to cook BBQ here is what I always would come here for. Freshly prepared and tastes bomb. Awesome for when I just want to fry something up real quick and bring it to work or for late night eating.
This HMart is kind of set up like a mall that you would find in Manila, Seoul, or Singapore, which I love (reminds me of home). There’s a good amount of stores and restaurants in, around, and outside the building. If you’ve ever been to Mitsuwa in Edgewater, this has the same sort of set up.
My only grievance with this place is that the parking is set up kind of weirdly. But after a while you get used to it and it’s not so bad anymore.

This market has such fresh fruits and fish. I spent hours in here just looking around.

#shamlessselfpromotion. Check out
for my most recent head to head post on neighboring Japanese grocery store: Mitsuwa (in Edgewater) versus this massive Korean colossal in Ridgefield. Han Ah Reum is a mall complex which is centered around the Super H Mart grocery store. Came here with the rents after a relaxing day at King Sauna. I’ve discovered:
–You can recreate your own Korean dining experience as they have every possible anchovy… pickled, fried, you name in.
— Rows and rows and rows and rows and rows of kimchi
— Pre marinated bulgogi and kalbi, thinly sliced for BBQ and hot pot… BBQ at home, yesss
–A LOT OF INVENTORY. Shelves go on and on with the well revered Korean corn tea, a bakery (a must featuring Korean delectables like this and that stuffed bread), and fresh seafood… I mean fresh. Like goopy squid get over here! Fried croaker? They have that too.
–A snack/​takeout section that features perhaps the weirdest dumplings I have ever seen (shrimp with a peek a boo tail sticking out of it), with leeks.
–A multi cultural food court. Not just Korean, but Japanese and Chinese items. You can surely get a decent seafood pancake, and spicy BBQ pork set, and of course Bön Chon-​like plus size plump super juicy chicken. I tried the tasty garlic option, which was honestly kinda sweet/​honey-​ish and not too garlic-​y (sad face).
Besides the food, you can find Asian beauty and house ware products (though there are plenty of smaller shops outside that can provide that). If in the area, I might just Korean out on some H Mart food court, body scrub from King Sauna and a Green Tea Latte from Koko Loko Coffee.

This. place. is. AWESOME!!! I used to be enamored with the Fort Lee location until I came here… I fell in love. Same huge selection of awesome, unique items… lots of free samples! PLUS a food court! (had some awesome garlic chicken wings here) I miss this place so much since I moved to NYC bc the Hmarts here are tiny and cramped.

Huge Korean market with various Korean products, vegetable, fresh seafoods and food court inside. I love to go here because most of vegetables, fruits are fresh and have great selection of seafoods. Prices are also less expensive than other American grocery stores. Food court inside has simple but various Korean menu, also selling pre-​made korean style foods. Once I go there its easy to go over the budget. Its very crowded in weekends and evening, hard to find the parking sometimes. But generally well maintained, nice Korean market.
Also Super H Mart as a center, there are many Korean stores around such as a traditional gift shop, bookstore, cosmetic store, health related product store which sells ginseng, liquor store.Etc. So after grocery shopping you can have little short stroll to look around the shopping center.

I always love huge Korean supermarkets that remind me of home in CA! The one in midtown is just too tiny and pricey…
This has everything you need-​we got tons of pork belly and meat, mushrooms, green onions… and of course ramen! I like how it’s open late and in a bigger type of mall. I saw some cute stores to check out later while I was here, and we ate next door (which also has a Paris Baguette!).

What’s not to love about this place? My family has been to almost every H Mart in NJ, and this is our favorite. It’s clean and well lit. It’s well-​stocked with a plethora of samples, and there’s decent parking and shops to visit on your trip. I say decent parking because during the weekends, parking can be a little tricky.
It’s a well organized store with clear labels for each aisle. They have well cut meat and pre-​marinated meat as well as store made food. I recently purchased a platter of sushi for $ 34.99, and it fed three people. Not a bad deal.
There is a food court as well which my family has visited. I was more impressed with the rice puff cake things but it appears they are no longer made (or sold?) here.
Checkout experience is pretty good too. While the lines can get long, they move quick, and the groceries are bagged well.
There’s also a little bakery and cosmetrics section by the entrance of the supermarket. By the cashiers is a place where home goods are sold.

Yay!
Do you need some burdock? Dried anchovies? Korean short ribs? Then head to HMart for all of your Korean grocery needs.
My family lives in Morris County so when we need to go Korean grocery shopping, we make a whole day of it. We’ve been coming to this particular location since I was in grammar school and it’s always been great. There are lots of free sample stands (I love when they have dumpling samples or even noodles) and it’s a really well-​organized store. They set it up so you start off by grabbing produce, then proteins (both surf & turf), and then non-​perishables and frozen foods.
There is a bakery section with cakes and breads and another separate section for cute hair pins, cell phone charms, other random accessories, and Asian brand makeup (e.g. Shiseido). Towards the back of the store there is also a food court-​style area where you can get ready made foods to go or sit down and eat. And if you need to get «bulk items» like 50 lb bags of rice, boxes of ramen, crates of fruit, etc. you can get it all in the little section to the right when you first walk in the entrance. You need to check out with the cashier designated to that area though, and they’ll give you little «PAID» stickers to stick on your goods.
It also helps that this HMart is located in a mall and plaza because you could potentially get a lot of errands done in one day.
I like how they set up the check out lines as well. The cashiers are really fast to scan your merchandise and there’s always someone to bag your groceries for you. It ensures that the lines move quickly and that you get out of the store in a timely manner.
My biggest gripe is that the parking lot is set up sort of stupidly and it seems like it’s always so crowded. There parking lot itself is also not well-​maintained so there are potholes and no one around to round up rogue shopping carts.

I love this place! (especially on days where they have tons of samples you can try.) This is the biggest Korean market I’ve ver been to. You can buy all types of marinated meats, already prepared side dishes, and kimchi! Since moving to FL, I havent been able to find many korean ingredients so I stocked up and vacuum sealed everything to bring back home. Wish they will open one up in south FL…
