About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At H Mart one night, a delivery driver noticed something strange on the security camera feed: an elderly gentleman in traditional Korean dress, pushing a shopping cart filled with mysterious items. The next day, he disappeared from the store—but not before whispering into the manager’s ear. Since then, late at night, employees occasionally hear soft footsteps and rustling sounds near the spice aisle. When they investigate, everything is always neatly arranged—except for one bottle of kimchi that mysteriously ends up facing backward. But no one has seen the old man again, and some say he simply found his perfect hiding spot among the endless rows of Asian groceries.
2. At H Mart one morning, an early shopper heard a familiar voice whispering from behind the bulk rice section. Curious, she turned around—and saw no one. Suddenly, a friendly voice said, ‘Excuse me, do you know where they keep the best kimchi?’ Startled, she looked left and right—still nobody there. Then, laughing to herself, she thought, ‘Must be my new Korean friend helping me find groceries!’
3. At H Mart one afternoon, a little boy pointed excitedly at the ceiling, whispering, ‘Mommy, what’s that shadow moving?’ His mother smiled and gently replied, ‘That’s just Uncle Sun saying hello through the window.’ The boy giggled, not realizing it was actually the reflection of a passing delivery driver waving from his truck outside. As they walked past the noodle aisle, their laughter blended with the hum of Korean pop music playing over the store’s speakers.
4. At H Mart late one night, a cleaning lady swore she saw a shadowy figure darting between aisles, leaving behind a faint scent of kimchi and fresh-cut fruit. Curious, she followed the scent, only to discover it was coming from a hidden corner where a delivery driver had left his lunch—kimchi jjimdalkbap and freshly cut pineapple. Turns out, the ghostly aroma was just an overzealous appetite for Korean cuisine.
