H Mart opened its first location in West San Jose in 2017. Now, it has become a staple in the Bay Area, where many go to find imported goods from Asian countries.
Cantabile Peach Tea This peach tea tastes like the feeling of summertime as its refreshing flavor hits your mouth. It’s sweet but not overwhelming to the tongue. Cantabile Peach Tea comes in small, portioned pouches so that they’re ready to grab for a quick drink. I like to have it with ice, paired with somekonjac jelly to replicate ordering fruit tea boba.
Body Loves Konjac Lime Jelly Body Loves Konjac Jelly provides a healthy option for dessert, remaining delicious while containing no calories. This konjac jelly comes in small squeeze pouches for convenient consumption. The lime flavor enhances the eating experience and pairs perfectly with the Cantabile Peach Tea.
Daifuku Korean Taro Pancakes Daifuku Korean Taro Pancakes are an absolute must-have. If you had to pick anything on this page, it should be these pancakes. These taro pancakes somehow end up in my cart after every H Mart trip because of how delicious they taste. A quick fry on the stove will get you a crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside tarofilled package of delight.
Samyang Fire Hot Carbo Chicken Ramen Noodles Samyang Fire Hot Carbo Chicken Ramen Noodles provide a heavy punch of spice that’ll have your mouth burning yet craving for more. I highly recommend this for spice lovers, as I had to sip mango juice after every bite. I recommend the carbonara flavor over the other varieties because it adds a cheesy kick to the noodles.
