I been to the new one in Quincy when it opened and saw lots of moldy produce. I haven't been back since. I hope their produce scene has since been fixed.

Also in regards to (other) Asian markets, I would love to see Maruichi spread and grow. Would be amazing to get some Japanese markets on the level of Mitsuwa.

Edit: Sure, vote me down for reporting moldy food. Makes perfect sense.

Kam Man Foods in Quincy is great!

Kam Man has been fine. I literally found mold on H-Mart's produce in Quincy though. The H-Mart in Central has been fine.

There is CMart, 99 Ranch, New York Mart, Kam Man Foods, a lot of Quincy.

I'm aware. I would just like to see more Japanese-specialized ones. I've been to Kam Man, Good Fortune, and a few others. I'm aware.

I live in Quincy and think that would be cool. For the time being I like Maruichi up in Brookline

Haven't had a problem, most of the shitty produce we see is at stop and shop on the artery. That place is a dive 🫤

I'm not going to deny other places have shitty produce.

I am not also saying that H-Mart is exclusively moldy produce.

What I am saying is, the day I went..... the one and only day back when they were opening, there was white-fuzz moldy apples and other things we saw there. Is it like that now? I don't know. Again, been to the Quincy one once and I go to the Cambridge H-Mart atleast once a month when I go up into Boston.

It isn't hate on H-Mart. It isn't hate on Asian markets. It's just that my first and only experience I had in Quincy's H-mart was when the produce was outright nasty.

I'm hoping to go back again soon, maybe in a few weeks or something to see again. But did not leave a good feeling seeing as much moldy produce as I did that day. I think moldy produce anywhere should be a concern, be it H-Mart, Market Basket, Stop and Shop, Roche Bros, Good Fortune or anywhere.

Just blows my mind that whenever I bring up this event, it pisses people off like I shouldn't talk about my experience with it.
