It’s probably a good idea to avoid shopping on the weekends. The store seems very clean and organized, which really makes for a nice shopping experience, but the parking is not ideal as it’s almost always filled. There’s also a food court where prepared foods can be taken out and a small bakery that appeared to have many patrons enjoying the pastries available. The produce section is very fresh and the prices are competitive. H Mart is mostly comprised of Korean cuisine, but they also stock many different varieties of curry and many different varieties of sauces and dumplings. The residents of Mira Mesa seem to really enjoy shopping at this grocery store! One might think that the novelty of its newness would wear off, but so far it’s proving itself to be an excellent replacement for Ralph’s and the best part is, they also sell regular groceries, albeit some of that section seems a little more expensive than the usual, but it sure worth saving time and making another stop if one only needs a few of those items. They have all different kinds of fish and I even saw octopus and snails! I was very impressed with their marinated meat section that features different degrees of spicy beef and also some chicken drumettes and boneless thighs, as well.

This was one of the best gumbos I've tasted in a long time. The rich sauce, filled with crawfish, shrimp, crab and smoked sausage covers a good amount of broken rice and fresh okra. The bowl is smaller than my bowl of pho, but it should be. At the bottom of the "Noodles and Soups" section of the menu Seafood Gumbo ($5) was listed. We saw a *very* large sandwich being shared at another table and the bread was not close to bahn mi in size and decided we could share one at another meal. The Mister was torn about what he wanted to order- there are 13 sandwich offerings in addition to three types of Po'Boy offered (shrimp or chicken or fish). The onions and cilantro and ground pepper toppings, when mixed part way through my meal, along with the (very fresh) add-ins transformed the the bowl into even more fresh flavors. The chicken was plentiful, included the liver and was accompanied by the fresh dipping sauce (nuoc cham) made of lime juice, fish sauce, garlic and sugar. The noodles were mostly loose, barely in a clump. The broth was clear, not too oily and had good flavor on its own. This was a very good, very large bowl of pho. In any case, since it was a chilly morning and the sun still had not peeked through the clouds, I ordered a bowl of chicken pho (one size only $6.25). I'm not sure if we were supposed to order and pay and sit down or not. The take out business was bustling when we were here, but when we sat down to read the take out menu, a nice Young Lady walked over to take our eat-in order. There is also a small breakfast menu, extensive beverage menu and the menu includes catering items that are not offered on the regular menu. Seven tables inside and one table out front, seating for about 20, this clean shop serves a combination of New Orleans-Po Boy sandwiches, gumbo and Vietnamese-pho, noodles and rice plates. There- all the way on the left of the above photo- the small storefront "Po and Pho". Since we were already in that parking lot and it was close to lunch time, we decided to try the newest restaurant of the six in that parking lot. The Mister and I were thinking there might be a 'soft' opening a few days sooner and drove there the other day, but the store was still getting organized. The highly anticipated Korean Grocer, H-Mart, will have a Grand Opening on the 17th (in the old Ralphs location on Mira Mesa Boulevard near the 15).
