New vendors include Goldmiss, known for its mochi doughnuts and Korean hot dogs, and Dduk Dabang, a Korean soul food vendor. Both already have locations in Edison, New Jersey.
Don Chicken, a Korean chicken purveyor with multiple locations in New York and New Jersey, will also make its debut. Namudol LIC, an authentic Korean restaurant with a location in Flushing, and Kyodong Noodles, a Chinese-Korean noodle restaurant, round out the new offerings.
In a recent Instagram post, H Mart welcomed these new vendors and highlighted the supermarket’s commitment to offering a diverse range of Asian cuisine. To celebrate, the market is offering 30% off at the food court from August 16 to November 24.

The first phase of the grand opening took place in May with the opening of five food vendors. Among them were Kim Ga Nae, a Flushing-based restaurant specializing in Korean comfort food; Rice Boy, which offers a variety of rice bowls; and L’Ami Bakery, known for its Korean-inspired baked goods and cakes.

Bubble tea vendor Gong Cha and Oh! K-Dog, a popular chain that serves Korean rice hot dogs, also opened stalls in the initial phase.
The Long Island City location is the third H Mart in New York City with a food court, joining those in Flushing and Bayside. The LIC food court is notable for its size, offering both a large seating area and its own mini claw machine area with 18 different machines and prizes.
