I like H mart but I find their produce section overpriced compared to Chinatown. Am Asian btw.

You can't compare chinatown to other stores. Chinatown is always going to be cheaper.

Well I will still compare because that’s where I usually shop. It’s ridiculous to compare it TJs/WF/fairway because they sell different products. Obviously chinatown varies but a lot of their products do overlap. You must be a white person

I find the quality is much better.

Yep, I guess you can say packaging and presentation is much nicer but it pretty much same quality to me as well

Packaging is better but quality depends on if you know what you're doing. Hmart has a lot more plastic which obviously is great for visuals but not for the sea turtles. I personally avoid buying produce and fresh stuff there because of the prices, although sometimea comparing prices to veggies in Chinatown some are actually reasonable.

I haven't seen a difference in the amount of plastic they use to bag veggies and I can at least find organic produce. Meat at regular price is expensive, but on sale, it's quite competitive.
