Honey Pig is soooo good ! I love the marinated short ribs and the side dishes you get . I love that Narrow street inside of the H mart food court the hangover soup is the way to go . My second favorite is Oh K dog because my kids love it .
As a long time Austin area resident, I discovered your UA-cam channel recently. This was a great one, with information we will surely use. All your videos are very well done. We will plan a visit to this area of Lakeline soon. Thank you so much.
I had no idea H Mart existed until I read the list of open stores on Easter in the Statesman today. Thank you so much for this video. Even though I am in far south Austin I am really excited to check it out.
H Mart has been my go to store since I moved here to Austin. I lived in GA most of my life and the only H mart we had was 4 hours away from me in Atlanta. I would make trips up there JUST to go to H Mart lol. When I moved here 5 years ago H Mart wasn't NEARLY as busy as it is now. Its popularity definitely blew up post pandemic. I fully understand why but I'm ready for slower traffic at this location with the new one opening down south.
lunch time and weekends ...forget about it! No, but for real, I am grateful for it too... there were several I lived before so I am grateful for this one. The South location will be helpful.
Parking is terrible on the weekends, and you'll be elbowing other shoppers as you try to navigate cramped aisles. They really did everything they could to fit as many aisles as they could. You can't even pass someone browsing in an aisle without invading their personal space. We try to go on the weekdays whenever possible.
Other Austin Korean grocery stores I go to in Austin are Hanaworld and Han Yang. Other Asian grocery stores in Austin of note are MT Supermarket and 99 Ranch.
This location makes the one in Carrollton (DFW) look ghetto. Ours looks like it’s been there since the 70s, and nothings changed since. Not a whole lot of room. Never eaten at their food court because of how tiny and small it is. You never know who’s going to be open, and to be honest, there’s like only one table per business, it feels like. So it doesn’t look like they expect to have many customers even though the store is always packed. But I guess if they’re opening several other locations, maybe that will help alleviate the crowd. The problem is that across the street is 99 Ranch, a Chinese grocery store that sells similar products, and then a few miles north is Zion Mart, another Korean grocery store, with more mini stores, and a bigger food court, though not as big as the one in the video.
Carrollton is rich with Asian / Korean cultural options for food , so we can give them a pass on the sub par HMart food court. It is similar to a location in Irvine, CA.... super small food court or I should say corner section.
@@SoominKimRElol, yes, it’s more of a “corner.” The Zion Mart is significantly closer to us due to how difficult it is to navigate around that one mile stretch of highway. My family refers to that place as “The Korean Sears.” It’s located in a dead mall, but I’ve seen that mall during its glory days, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the original Sears that busy. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been inside that Sears as often as I do with it being Korean, and that’s including all the times my folks brought me there as a kid. I truly feel that having THAT as an anchor store is what’s keeping that mall alive. Its own food court is a joke, but the one inside Zion however is worth the trip alone. I wish other cultural groups would lease out the other department stores. People would travel to see an international mall. Plus, it’s just funny seeing where all the modern departments are. There’s a patisserie where they sold tires. There’s an expensive fancy shabu restaurant where you’d get your oil changed. I just think that’s funny.
@@SoominKimREthe foot court is where the home electronics and appliances used to be. What’s cool is that most of that downstairs was originally inaccessible to customers. I guess it was used as a stock room and offices for Sears. The grocery part of it took over much of that. I know that one of the bathrooms, the one near the patisserie, used to have a bunch of smaller offices around it. One of those offices was a classroom where they taught drivers ed. My 8th grade history teacher used to teach there. Sadly, the escalator hadn’t worked since Sears closed. They blocked it off with signs telling you what’s upstairs, but don’t tell you how to get there. You have to use the stores elevator, which still smells like 1989. The mall has really crappy hours, but when it’s open, the upstairs mall entrance is rarely open, so you can’t really go in that way. It’s just a bunch of much larger Korean businesses with odd hours. What’s cool though is that some of that has spilled into the mall. First floor, going out, has a few of Korean storefronts. But again, mall has crappy hours, like 11-7. 8 hour work day, but for customers, not fun. Zion stays open longer, and mall security will sometimes inform them that they need to close that door, harassing one of the restaurant owners to close it. Sometimes families get split up, and if they can’t get the restaurant owner to reopen it, they have to walk all the way around the mall, go outside, then walk back inside Zion.
thx for watching, I have been in H Marts in California as well, some in what is considered the quite safe areas, same.... so perhaps store policy or protocol. I dont mind !
You did a great job with this video! Would like to see more videos like this featuring cool places in North Austin area.
I am on it.
Great job! I’m missing these stores like they have in Canada.
Do they sell oxtail And goat?
they do.
H mart is an awesome grocery shopping experience, they have a food court and an arcade!! What!?

Honey Pig is soooo good ! I love the marinated short ribs and the side dishes you get . I love that Narrow street inside of the H mart food court the hangover soup is the way to go . My second favorite is Oh K dog because my kids love it .
Narrow Street for any instance I feel a cold or cough coming on for some hangover soup or bone broth soup! YES!
Hello I’m from Georgetown, Tx and I’ve been too H Mart and the Korean restaurant. They’re both awesome.
Love Georgetown, yes not too far away! glad to hear it!
