H Mart Kalihi

H Mart Kalihi is a community grocery destination in Honolulu’s Kalihi neighborhood, located in a compact standalone storefront with a dedicated local following. This location was formerly known as Queen’s Supermarket before converting to H Mart, and many longtime shoppers appreciate the store’s locally made kimchi and broadest offerings of kim-chee (Korean fermented cabbage) on O‘ahu, available in multiple styles including cabbage and cucumber.

The store’s interior feels smaller and more densely packed compared with larger island locations, with tighter aisles and limited parking, but shoppers highlight a meaningful variety of Asian groceries — from Korean pantry staples to snacks, chilled beverages, and produce — alongside kimchi and other fermented items. Reviews note that the freshly made kim-chee and banchan side dishes are among the standout reasons locals visit, and that this Kalihi market offers produce, tropical fruits, and unique imported snack options that aren’t always easy to find elsewhere on the island.

While some customers describe a mix of Korean, Filipino, Chinese, and Japanese groceries on the shelves, the kimchi offerings — including classic cabbage kimchi — tend to draw repeat visits, and the store’s hours through the evening make it convenient for after-work shopping.
