3301 SE Belmont St., 971-407-3167;  3482 SW Cedar Hills Blvd., 503-924-6710; 13600 SW Pacific Highway, 503-620-6120, hmartus.com.

This Korean grocery store took Portland by storm this past year. The checkout line snaked around the entire store when the Belmont location opened in a former Zupan's, which in itself was a moving symbol of the more diverse residential populations in the central Southeast neighborhood. Pick up delicious prepared food, Korean beverages like the addictive rice punch, sikhye, produce, and thinly sliced meats of every variety for barbecue. Note: The Cedar Hills Boulevard H Mart carries primarily specialty home goods and kitchen appliances.
