About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading groceries into his car, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside H Mart’s parking lot. Curious, he parked nearby and listened closer—only to discover that it seemed to be followed by faint laughter, as if someone were playing a hidden prank. The delivery driver approached cautiously but found nothing out of place. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the sound again—a mix between a beeper and giggles—and saw a small shadow dart behind one of the shopping carts. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood kid hiding there, having fun scaring him. The driver smiled, shook his head, and went on his way, thinking, ‘Another day in paradise.’
2. One day, after picking up some groceries, a regular asked aloud: ‘Why does it smell like kimchi in here today?’ Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver walked by and sniffed the air. 'Ah,' he said with a smile, 'that's not kimchi. That's just Mr. Park cooking bulgogi in the back!' Everyone laughed, realizing the misconception, and the regular nodded knowingly. "Next time I'll ask where the bulgogi is," he quipped, as they all headed towards the cash register.
3. In the produce section of H Mart, a delivery driver swears he saw a sign that read, ‘Bananas for sale—one dollar each or two dollars for a smile.’ Curious, the driver bought two bananas and paid with a smile. To his surprise, an old Korean lady behind the counter winked and whispered, 'Next time bring three smiles—we’re running low on bananas!' The whole store erupted in laughter as everyone realized it was just another day at H Mart.
4. In the dairy aisle of H Mart, a delivery driver swore he heard milk bottles whispering each other's names. Curious, the driver leaned closer, thinking maybe it was just an echo. Suddenly, one bottle said, ‘Kimchi or soy sauce?’ Startled, he jumped back and almost knocked over a carton of tofu. Turns out, it was just his neighbor shopping nearby, humming along to her favorite K-pop song.
