Just go to sunset park. Multiple stores, half the price of H Mart.

That’s what I do now. My go-tos are Fei Long or iFresh. Sometimes JMart, but that’s further our for me.
But HMart hits different. First off the seafood market is incredible. There are signs directing everyone on how they can prepare your fish (eg butterflied, filleted, etc). Trying to communicate this at a Chinese market is a bit more challenging for me. What about the shrimp section? There’s like 15 different types of shrimp to choose from. Additionally, the seafood market at hmart is usually immaculate. Then you have the kimchi and prepared ban Chan selection that is incredible. Let’s not forget the meat section which is vast, organized, and well-maintained. Want to make hot pot tonight? Go for it, get that beautifully sliced rib eye. Feel like making Korean bbq? Pick up that pork belly or pre-marinated kalbi.
When it comes to HMart and most Asian markets (exception for Mitsuwa) we’re comparing the finest Honeycrisp Apples to shitty off-season oranges.

hmart is better organized and packaged but ur not getting anything better quality than what u can find in Chinatown. saying it's honey crisp apples to shitty oranges is overboard

Unfortunately I live on the other side of Prospect Park, so it takes me basically the same amount of time to just go to the UWS by public transit lol.
