I loved this place it had so much to see. Fresh sea food, wines, teas, flowers & gifts just to name a few. If I lived in Seattle this would be my grocery store. More

Being a Japanese Am living in TX, Uwajimaya is a must go-to place whenever I'm in Seattle. I love that there is such a huge variety of just Japanese products. AND the ready made & take home dishes are abundant. Just wish parking was a little easier. More

They have so many products that are wonderful to cook with! Udon noodles are great, the Rose Brand chowmein noodles which are so hard to find are sold here in 5 pound boxes for about $6.99, I also found Hawaiian foods and the flours to make desserts with. I love their brands of Plum Sake! More

The name of this grocery store maybe Japanese but it stocks a variety of food from Vietnamese, Korean, Filipino and of course Japanese. I loved the different rice cakes to choose from and will always buy a half dozen different kinds. This place is a must for any visitor to the Seattle/Renton area. More

I've been to three Uwajimaya Supermarkets (Beaverton, Bellevue, and Seattle) and this is by far the largest one with the most selection. Although we don't buy any perishables to take home, there is sometimes something not found back home that you might want to pick up. There's also a large selection of sake to choose from. We also love spending... More

Now this is a GREAT store. The selection of Asian foods is outstanding and the quality of their produce is fabulous and they have stuff you just cannot find elsewhere. We always end up buying more than we intended but we love it so. The personnel is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. When trying to choose a good lite soy sauce... More

Blown away I was by the outstanding selection here! Lived in Japan for 5 years and seldom saw a better stocked food store than this. We walked around like kids in a candy store picking up loads of stuff we haven't seen available outside of Tokyo! Absolutely on our list of must visits on each and every trip to Seattle! More

I've been to many Asian grocery stores across the country and this is bar none, the very best I've ever seen! The food court food was outstanding (went to three of the vendors) and they were all great. This is a great concept store that is fun for a tourist and a great convenience for the locals. More

After reading a description of this place online which mentioned a variety of places to eat inside, we included this on our itinerary in Seattle. We envisioned something different - it turns out the places to eat inside amount to a little food court with steel tables in the middle lined up like a grade school cafeteria. We arrived around...
