Reply to comment by franticredditperson in H Mart to Open in Former Rite Aid Space on Amsterdam by L0v3_1s_War

which hmart do you go to? the ones in queens are well priced. what items do you think over-priced? the only things that I think higher priced that regular supermarkets is the beef and pork which are all much higher quality so its going to be more pricey.

Only the new queens location is well priced tbh - most likely due to the super high competition

I like H mart but I find their produce section overpriced compared to Chinatown. Am Asian btw.

You can't compare chinatown to other stores. Chinatown is always going to be cheaper.

Well I will still compare because that’s where I usually shop. It’s ridiculous to compare it TJs/WF/fairway because they sell different products. Obviously chinatown varies but a lot of their products do overlap. You must be a white person

Yep, I guess you can say packaging and presentation is much nicer but it pretty much same quality to me as well

Packaging is better but quality depends on if you know what you're doing. Hmart has a lot more plastic which obviously is great for visuals but not for the sea turtles. I personally avoid buying produce and fresh stuff there because of the prices, although sometimea comparing prices to veggies in Chinatown some are actually reasonable.

I haven't seen a difference in the amount of plastic they use to bag veggies and I can at least find organic produce. Meat at regular price is expensive, but on sale, it's quite competitive.
