About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At H Mart, every Saturday afternoon, a regular would push his cart down the aisle with a puzzled look on his face. His little granddaughter, tugging at his sleeve, pointed excitedly towards the produce section and whispered, ‘Grandpa, why do those bananas always seem to be watching us?’ As they approached the fruit stand, the grandfather leaned closer and whispered back, ‘They’re not watching us, sweetheart—they’re just waiting for someone who knows their price.’ With that, he picked up an apple and winked at her, both laughing as they continued their shopping adventure.

2. At H Mart, late one night after closing, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the produce aisle. He heard whispers among the bananas, but when he looked closer, there was no one there. Curious, he leaned in closer and saw that some bananas were slightly bent out of shape. ‘You guys want a break?’ he asked, laughing to himself. Suddenly, all the bananas straightened up again and started whispering even louder. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and left, never telling anyone what he’d seen—except maybe his neighbor over coffee the next morning.

3. At H Mart, on a quiet Sunday morning, an elderly gentleman stopped by the produce section and found a mysterious note taped to an apple crate: ‘Take what you want, leave what you can’t.’ The old man chuckled, thinking it was someone’s prank. He took a bag of oranges but left behind two bunches of bananas he wasn’t sure about. Later that day, his neighbor popped over with some freshly baked cookies—apparently she’d seen the same note too. The H Mart became known for its weekly mystery notes, leaving customers smiling as they shopped.

4. At H Mart, near the entrance, a sign appeared one day: ‘Last Chance Salad – Buy One Get One Free.’ But no matter how many times it was removed, the same message kept reappearing. Finally, someone from produce department decided to investigate. Turned out that every morning, an anonymous neighbor brought extra bags of lettuce, leaving them in the back room with a note: 'For those who missed their last chance.'
