H Mart is now open in Dallas
Sandi Morse
As much food as we have in North Texas, it’s amazing the gaps we have in grocery stores.
The popular Asian grocery chain H Mart opened its first location in Dallas today at 2534 Royal Lane near Harry Hines Boulevard in the heart of Koreatown.
H Mart started as a small corner store in Woodside, Queens, New York, in 1982 and has grown to about 100 stores across the U.S. The H stands for the founder’s name, Han Ah Reum. There are two other North Texas H Marts in Plano and Carrollton.
This new Dallas store is over 70,000 square feet and has a Paris Baguette inside for a caffeinated break, should you need one.
Gov. Greg Abbott designated Koreatown Dallas — on Royal Lane between Harry Hines and Luna Road — in 2023. The Dallas City Council approved a $4 million economic incentive to support this H Mart location.
H Mart is known for its wide variety of Asian groceries, including fresh produce, live seafood and other proteins, along with pantry staples like sauces, noodles and seasonings. There is also a mind-bending amount of prepared food.

Oh K-Dog and Egg Toast
