H Mart Has Opened a Large Food Court in Queens

After much anticipation, H Mart has opened a food court inside its Long Island City supermarket. Currently, the location features food stalls like Oh K-Dog, which has several outposts in the city and specializes in Korean corn dogs; and Gong Cha, the bubble tea chain. But there are also lesser-known stalls, like KimGaNae, a restaurant in Flushing, which has an outpost at H Mart serving kimbap, as well as Rice Boy (which has a sibling food spot Yea’s Kitchen inside a Jericho H Mart), offering various rice bowls, among others.

The supermarket portion of this Long Island City H Mart opened at 48-18 Northern Boulevard, in 2022 with its shelves stocked with snacks, frozen items, produce, and other provisions, plus a standard hot bar. The attached food hall, which debuted earlier this month, is only phase one. A spokesperson for H Mart says the main area of the food court will open all its zones by summer.

Few H Mart locations in New York City have an attached food hall. The first came to Flushing in 1989, with a more recent follow-up in Bayside. But what’s planned for Long Island City is slated to be the biggest food court the Korean grocer has launched in the five boroughs yet.
