Here you are, reading mmm-yoso!!!, a blog about food, again. Welcome. Kirk is enjoying some time off and Cathy is writing.
We've had HMart in San Diego since 2012. There are only a few 'food court' selections inside the store, unlike at the Super H Mart in Diamond Bar (mentioned in the middle of that post). 
There is one "Enter" and one "Exit" door. To the right of the 'Enter" is a small kitchen, cooking and wrapping food for those who want to 'Grab and Go'. 
There is a small seating area (including two corner chairs which are useless). The kitchen prepared meals are pictured above the 'By the Pound' items. ($8.50/lb)(Hot or Cold)
The hot items are plentiful, protein based (other than rice) and kept fresh, since the cooking area is three steps behind the trays.
The cold area has a great selection, especially if you are thinking about buying something you've seen pre-packed in the refrigerated area of the store. There's also sliced sushi roll pieces, pork and tofu if you want cold protein.
We grabbed a few items on this visit before beginning to shop. Cold items were kimchi, seaweed salad and marinated mushrooms. All were good (nice flavor/mild heat of kimchi) and complimentary to the hot items- fried squid, fried head-on shrimp and breaded, fried pork in a sweet sauce. Total for these two boxes was $6. The item on the bottom right was just packed (still warm) and placed in the open refrigerated area.
Pan fried crab cake ($3.50). Fresh vegetables, plenty of crab, crispy fry. A good meal on its own.
There's a dispenser of hot water, cups, utensils and condiments in the eating area, so you can have a decent meal.
HMart 9440 Mira Mesa Boulevard San Diego 92126 (858)577-0060 Open 8 a.m.-10 p.m. daily Website
NEW LOCATION (opening in February): 7725 Balboa Avenue (SE corner at the 805) San Diego 92117 (same parking lot as the 24 Hour Fitness)
sounds like a great assortment of foods.
The new H Mart on Balboa/805 (where Sports Authority used to be) should be opening soon.
Eating before shopping is necessary for us, Kat…it’s never good to go to the store hungry. The variety here as well as ability to just grab a literal bite of food makes it convenient.
I did put the new address at the bottom of the post, Junichi; was hoping to find more intel about the in-store ‘food court’ (if any) so as to be able to post, but drove by yesterday and still not much can be found out. Frustrating.
Whoa, I did not even know there was going to be new H-Mart locations. I went to a huge one in Niles, IL (Super H Mart) and in Irvine. So overwhelming. I like their selection of ready made foods. The fish pancake is good.
Oh yes, cc-next to where the Lucky Advantage store had been (I still miss the in-store meat smokehouse). Still, not a Super HMart, but a bit closer for you. The ready made foods here are great and the by-the-pound items are a way to ‘sample’ as well as give me ideas of what to buy that day.
