I love going to this place, mainly for the bookstore that is located here, but for food stuffs from Asia - you will not find a better spot. The bookstore, though, well…that is a small piece of heaven on earth. Aside from books they also sell notebooks with excellent paper, a wide selection of writing instruments, and fountain pens along with ink. It is a rare thing to find a physical location with fountain pens, so if that is a thing you like, go check this place out.Parking is paid, but purchases will get your parking validated.

Great place with a wide variety of items. Came for snacks and wasn’t disappointed. I want to try their food court next time.

Great oriental market in downtown Seattle. Pretty much the only big grocery store near the stadiums. A wide selection of food and cook wear youll find what your looking for. Theres also a food court and a book store as well! Very cool!

I found my Spam musubi! So tasty. Then I just wandered up and down the aisles looking at stuff. Nice selection of take out foods. Bathroom in the adjacent food court.

Very clean and the products are on a great price. Some items that I bought from Amazon are actually cheaper at the store. This is my favorite place to shop if Im looking for Japanese and Korean items

Lot to choose from & fast food courts, lots variety products fresh and groceries ect. Thank you for staying open while the Covid-19 pandemic are happening 🙏 😘😇😇😊

Amazing Asian grocery store and food stop. Didn’t want to leave. Also wanted to buy everything to bring back home with me

Great selection of fresh/frozen fish and seafood. Wide variety of Asian products and drinks.

Great place after the long confusing remodel. Store looks great and the self checkout helps a ton

A really nice, well stocked grocery store of various Asian cuisine and foods. Prices are fair and there is a large selection of items. I purchased a fe w beverages and snacks from here.On your way out, there’s a prepared food section. I ordered a mini combo and that filled me up, it was really good. So if you have the time and if you’re hungry after grocery shopping, the prepared food section is worth a stop!

Asian cuisine supplies store .. including groceries, gifts, books, and kitchen wares;The newly remodeled store has reopened with an even BROADER selection of products than before - cleaner and better quality - or at least the shelves & displays are significantly more appealing and SO ATTRACTIVE that you are COMPELLED TO have some!There’s a broad cross-cultural variety (East Asian, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc) of foods, and I was please that I could find the quirky selection of groceries that I needed.And after grocery shopping, in case you are not in the mood to cook, on your way out, there’s the deli & prepared takeaway foods, in addition to the food court - for your convenience.

Very nice variety and quality. However very pricy. On the level of whole foods. Id youre willing to shop around you may be able to find similar products elsewhere for more reasonable prices.

This is a classic Seattle Staple for Asian and other international grocery items. Convenient downtown location with a parking lot available (pending validation based on purchase) they have pretty much everything you could need in both asian/international + regular grocery items. Only negative is its now a tourist attraction and can be very busy because of that. There may be better options for regular asian/International groceries close to you if youre a Seattle native.

This store has absolutely beautiful displays and is very fun to shop in!

Large, clean, and fresh produce. The prices here are a little higher than others like QFC

Uwajimaya is my favorite store in Seattle! They have a wide variety of Japanese foods and sweets. I love the noodle and furikake aisles due to the seemingly endless options. They also carry the best frozen dumplings I’ve ever had..I stock up on them every time I shop. I’m always impressed with how reasonably priced the fresh produce is as well.

The only business I stop at traveling through Seattle. Amazing selection, best employees.(pics are pre covid, place is the same with added precautions)

Oriental market. Nice, clean, organized, huge sections to shop at. Was not hungry but they do have food hall (Thai, Hawaiian,Vietnsmese, Japanese, Chinese...) where you can order hot cook meals, they even have a poke court. Prices are reasonable and they are open. The market itself is still remodeling but definitely worth coming in.

Uwajimaya has fresh, high quality produce and seafood. Things are generally higher priced than other grocery chains. Consider the quality, it is worth it. When I need fresh seafood, I go to Uwajimaya. They recently remodeled the store. It has become more difficult to find things. Maybe it will get better over time. The staff are usually friendly and helpful.

The store is very clean and well stocked with international delights. Top quality produce and the fish and meat markets are very clean and fresh. Prices are very good especially for being so close to down town.

The bookstore is always fun.

Some of the best and most exotic selection of seafood live seafood and Ive seen since the 90s

I like to go to Uwajimaya whenever I have free time. We love to see varieties of food and goodies at the store (as well as take out food at the food court) I wish everything will be back to normal soon. Glad to see food in the food court today even if only partial menu. 🙂

I work 2 blocks from here! Although pretty much everything is Asian and written in Asian. I found myself looking for icy hot back pain relief pads for a friend. I found a comparable product for half the price! Check out their seafood area. Its like a small aquarium! The employees are very professional and so much fresh fruit. They have something for everyone!!!

This is an interesting Asian grocery store thats close to Lumen field. There is a small food court in front of the inside entrance to the grocery store. Theres a solid selection of food stuff here, although the crowds right before a Sounders game definitely do a number on their bakery items and sushi offerings. Theres not a ton of check out stands here, so the lines can be a little long, but most people werent buying a ton of stuff when we were there, so that was a plus.

Ive been coming to this Uwajimaya for over 15 years now, whenever I am in Seattle, and I know that they are at the tail end of, or have just completed a major renovation. And I hate to say it, but Im not digging it. Again, I might be prejudging things because it might not be the final finished product, but the entire space seems too open, kind of cold, and I dont know...bland somehow. The food court is a pale shadow of what it used to be, with several vacancies, so Im hoping this will fill itself out in the next few months or years. However, saying anything else disapprovingly would be doing a great disservice to this amazing grocery chain. Their produce and meat sections are still among the best youll find anywhere...and I mean -- anywhere --. Not to mention the huge variety of Japanese and pan-Asian Foods, condiments, treats, alcoholic beverages, pastries, deli items, and so many things I cant even remember them all. I dont think I have ever left and Uwajimaya without spending at least $50, and I dont feel guilty about it. Even in this new and somewhat off-putting configuration, there is absolutely no doubt that Uwajimaya is the best of the best when it comes to grocery stores. There simply is no comparison of quality anywhere. If you disagree, the burden of proof is on you.

This is one of the best grocery stores in Seattle. The people who work there are friendly and helpful. They always take time to help me. And what an amazing selection of all things I never knew I needed before! Ive learned too many new foods from going there. Whenever I am there in the morning, when I get home, I always find some sushi in my bag. Its a mystery!

Not a perfect market, but the most important one in Seattle. Uwajimaya has been around for a long time offering people whatever they need to make family recipes long before the chains started carrying tamari or Thai basil. Selection is broad, quality is good, staff are helpful.

I love going to Uwajimaya! I always pick up snacks and this time I went to Beard Papas and had a really good eclair! I try to make a stop every time Im in Seattle! Its best to stop on the way out of Seattle since its near an I-5 on ramp. Other benefits that you wont find other places in Seattle are that it has a public restroom and its own parking lot! Its a nice wrap up to all my city adventures!

Wonderful beautiful startup shopping were all easy for shopping and eating

I always love going to Uwajimaya stores,, but this one has definitely improved even further! The new layout is easier to navigate, and it feels less claustrophobic without sacrificing product variety. Plus the attached food court and Kinokuniya always make this a great shopping destination for food and gifts! If you are visiting the area, Id highly recommend stopping here!

Always so clean and full of helpful staff. Everything Ive bought has always been so fresh and tasty. Cant recommend it enough.Its often very busy so Id keep that in mind.I can always find parking there and they will wave the parking fee if you purchase enough from inside- a great deal 👍

If you havent visited since the beginning of the pandemic, be prepared for major changes. The whole store layout is rotated 90 degrees, and everything is in different places. Im sure it is better, but I wasnt ready for it!Always the best fish and stir-fry beef.

A cool place in the International District. You can find awesome and rare asiatic products. I enjoyed de sushi a lot! It’s not cheap to shop there

I do not live in Seattle but pass thru / stay every few weeks. Uwajimaya is honestly one of our first stops. Our favourite hotel or Airbnbs have small kitchens and we take advantage of the 60,000 ft² (entire city block) Asian/standard food market. Variety Ive only experienced in Japan and Korea. The remodel is nearly finished (Sept 2020) and Im impressed!!

A good selection of Japanese and Asian items and grocery. Quite pricy. Good for shopping once in a while if you have any specific item to shop for in mind.

Dined in for first time in their remodel. Not too many tables and steam table was okay...I did go in mid afternoon. The shopping part was nice, with wide aisles. self check check-out, very new for them.

Best Asian supermarket in Seattle! My favorite things are the unique sauce selection, frozen karaage, and the roast duck at the deli.

Definitely an Asian-geared supermarket: ability to read Japanese, Chinese (and a little Korean) would be helpful but not *necessary*. Fresh fruit & veggies, liquor, cosmetics, etc. Reasonable prices, VERY clean and orderly.

Wonderful Asian grocery store with east Indian foods, too. Very clean, neat, and Covid conscience. Prepared foods for a quick, inexpensive dinner is a highlight.

Pretty good selection of Asian foods at reasonable prices. Free parking with purchases makes this place very easily accessible too. Some nice attached restaurant and a Kinokuniya bookstore make this a really great spot in total.

A few weeks ago, they had a mild reopening in here. So nice so far. It was pretty busy here today. Everybody will wear a face mask. Its good to see people again, and visit the store and other shops in the area

In order to see if some of them offered good food services, I have visited several markets. This is the best supermarket because you were prepared to help me shop. They offer excellent customer service as well. All were so pleasant and friendly. Recommended strongly!

This is a wonderful Asian grocery store! I was able to find all of my favorite Japanese snacks here: Tohatos caramel corn, Ramune candy, Boss Coffee, melon cream soda, mochi, and more! There is also a good selection of fresh Japanese food, produce, and a food court right next to the store. My only regret is that I didnt have more time and money to spend here!

Prices are a little bit more than one might expect to see but then they are an Asian supermarket. Meat and seafood is large selection. They even have sacks of rice and lots of noodles and sauces. I couldnt find s tea strainer. All I could find were tea infusers. They even have green tea candy. They have a food court.

Awesome Japanese super market, prices are very reasonable especially for staple products like meat and vegetables. You can get any Japanese product you can think of here as well as a lot of Chinese ingredients and products.They also have a good alcohol selection, a small bakery and a food court at the back. Also a Manga store, its really a one stop shop! Staff were super friendly and no line for self checkout at 6pm.

Best selection of fresh seafood, asian food, fresh produce and kitchen ware.Customer service is superior and the cashier handled are precious purchases carefully wrapped and bagged with lots of care.

This place is incredible! It is worth a visit! We were in town visiting Seattle for the first time and we spent a bunch of time walking around and checking stuff out. Great souvenirs and unusual food we dont see in the states. Best of all it was free to look like a tourist!

Love the place! Always my favorite to go to. Ive moved out of the city but I never fail to go visit every month Im there! It isnt the same if I dont!!!

I love it here. So many great items you can get that you cant find in an American grocery store. I can browse here all day long. Love looking at the home goods and snacks even more than the groceries.Some things to note:- Parking is validated if you spend over $10 so keep your receipt and make sure to validate your ticket before you leave.- Hot food service in the back - I recommend the meats hanging like the teriyaki chicken and the duck and pork but I Do Not recommend the hot food bar. Compared to the one in Bellevue, this one has a lot fewer options and I find the food not as fresh. I would recommend opting for the prepared food options like their breakfast meals (cant understand how they make their scrambled eggs and rice taste so damn good), Japanese Sandwiches, or their bowls like Beef Don and such.- Sandwiches go fast! If you want all the selections, get there early.

Loved this place!! Brought me back to the time I lived in Japan. Their seafood market is amazing!! They had everything!! Will definitely be back.

Fun and enjoyable area. Lots to see and photograph. Cute shopping.

Best thing to do in Seattle

Nice place to go for a walk and then buy a bunch of food and water and a little bit of a lot better than I thought it would be. Thanks so much for all your help and support I have made the payment of them are in the middle of the night and I have been working in a bit to see if we could get a room at the hotel.

So much to choose from! The variety of fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, and prepared goods is spectacular. I always love walking into a store filled with new items to try. The seafood selection looks fantastic, especially the live seafood section. There is also a food court and a generous selection of household goods (rice cookers, teapots, bowls, etc).

This is the best Asian store. The little Vietnamese restaurant in the back is great and so is the gift shop.

In this Asian market you can find Asian food of all kinds, meats, vegetables, processed, candy, Etc . Also beauty products: makeup and creams, household products: pots and dishes. Outside the market there are different small restaurants, there are some very famous donuts but you have to make a long line to buy.

Uwajimaya... This store is an important piece of Seattles history. More specific to Seattles Chinatown history. You can find most of your ingredients for nearly all types of ethnic foods.They have food from representing all parts of Asia from Chinese and Japanese to Indian, Filipino, and everything in between.Pros: fresh produce, great butcher section, knowledgeable fish mongers, and fresh fish arriving daily. Parking is validated with minimum purchase. Oh the snack aisle is. Insane! Most importantly they have such an awesome staff.Cons: items can be pretty pricey. They off set this by weekly ads. However the ads may not contain items you really need (that can be said about most grocery store ads)Look for their ads and go early to find yourself some goodies.

Love this place! You can get pretty much anything. From produce to seafood, snacks, cooked food and household items and beauty products from asia. Theres no coming here and coming out empty handed and belly full!

Duck meat was juicy, skin was crispy, delicious. And all this fot only 17 bucks. Cant beat that.

They had a good selection of international (Asian) products and produce.

Amazing store and great sushi. Always a nice visit

A little bit of everything. Well organized, well lit, welcoming, and with a great selection.

They had a soft reopening here a few weeks ago. So far so good. Today, it was quite packed. Everyone will wearing a face mask. Its nice to see people and visiting the store once again as well as other stores in the area.

Wonderful multi-cultural grocery and variety store. Some of your favorite products, some that will be familiar from Europe and a wide variety of Asian delights!

I hadnt visited in a while. They have fully updated the whole store. It has an open air feel and seems better organized.

Awesome asian supermarket! Great collection of foodstuffs, home goods, toys, etc. The attached food court and book store make the experience even better.

In this supermarket, I felt very comfortable having my food. They have fresh and always available fresh meat, chicken, and seafood. It was a nice clean place.

It will take some time for me to get to know things are located. To me things could be arranged better, but what do I know about this. I love the store though.

Awesome place to pick up fresh seafood and fish and if youre familiar with Asian cuisine or culture its an excellent place to pick up ingredients and food you cant normally find in American markets.

The gold standard in Seattle supermarkets. The place is HUGE, and they dont just stock Asian food items, but things you would do find in a typical mid to high end Seattle supermarket like Town and Country, PCC Community Markets, and maybe Whole Foods Market. The produce section is fresh, they have a fantastic chocolate section with local and international brands you will not find elsewhere. they sell liquor, sake, beer, soju, even local canned wine, and sake thats packaged like a kids juice box. Lots of non alcoholic drinks and novelties. Fresh and prepared foods. They got local Ellenos yogurt, and Kerrygold butter at lower prices than at other bougie markets. High end teas from Asia, as well as local options like Portland tao of tea. The thing I like most about Uwajimaya is the sheer variety and well stocked shelves and room to walk around comfortably. This is not a 99 ranch type of asian supermarket with low end national brands, Uwajimaya is decidedly higher end.

Absolutely delicious. Great selection of non-food gifts, too.Everything from Japanese beauty products to shampoo/conditioner to sushi to gorgeous plates, bowls, and tea sets.This store has it all.Try Japanese chocolate, their taro cookies, and their custard buns/breads.

Awesome market, huge variety with VERY reasonable prices! Highly recommended!

Great cleaning during covid times. Staff is friendly and helpful. The selection is great. The book store is always so wonderful i never know what to look at first.

Just a three minute walk down to the hostel Im staying at. There is a food court area and a vast selection of Asian food products. Very useful when you need a quick bite to eat whether you want to dine inside or you want to grab an item or two to take back to your hotel room. Saw quite a few snacks in Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, etc. There is also a Japanese book store as well. I definitely have to stop by again whenever I come back to Seattle.

Absolutely amazing. Clean. Good parking. Parking is validated for 1 hour if you spend a minimum of$10 and 2 hours if you spend over $20.

Awesome place! Lots of fun places to get food and other snacks. Great selection of sake! The biggest one Ive seen in a grocery store in the U.S.You do need to buy something to get a code to use the restroom.

I love Uwajimaya - I can find a lot of things there that I cant find at other grocery stores.However, the one thing I dont like is their bathroom having a code. They print it on the bottom of the receipt so Id recommend if youre like me and when you gotta go you need a bathroom NOW - buy a $1 item right when you walk in so you have a receipt with the code on it. Ive been there twice where I had to go and left my cart with my friend since you cant take unpaid merchandise into the bathroom.The first time the restaurant in the food court across from the restroom was nice enough to tell me the code. I saved the code in my phone but they change it every so often. The second visit, they just straight up ignored me but thankfully someone went in and I was able to follow after.Uwajimaya, some people have health problems and when they need to go they need to go without barriers - if you dont want people doing drugs in there, install blue lights - you cant find a vein in blue lighting.And if its about keeping homeless people out, well, they need to use the bathroom too and deserve a place to do so.But until they change this, I guess buy a dollar item and get the code before you start really shopping

Big store with great selections. I also like the Korean restaurant in the food court and the bakery diagonal from the store. They have more selection than the bakery inside the food court. The meat prices are way more than other Asian markets but the quality is good. There is also the Kinokuniya bookstore that has a great selection of stationery supplies. They also have a cute kitchenware store inside.

The best Asian grocery market around. It is not an organized affair and a little of a free for all, but to be expected. They arent trying to be whole foods. There is good restaurants, take out, and all of the Asian items that you want, a long with the standard fare. Parking is good, and the prices are listed in my photo. Usually it is very busy.

My new favorite grocery store plus it has a kinokuniya store in the store as well if your at all keen on asian food this is a must

The best Asian market Ive been in. The fresh fish and seafood is beautiful and well priced... Love the selection in the fresh produce area

Some of my favorite items are at this store. Looking for Asian and ingredients? This is the place! Plus it houses my favorite dessert in the whole wide world, #BeardPapa

This is..the. best. Grocery store in Seattle. Normal items and just about every specialty item. I always stop here for sure. On vacation or as a local..go here

While shopping, I needed assistance and Ryan who works in the Seafood department was very helpful and knowledgeable about the products. I will shop here again.

Amazing selection of Asian groceries and in particular Japanese groceries. A place to go to if you intend to do a one stop shop for most of your Asia groceries.

Very interesting to see all of the different items. The different foods. What a fun place to spend the day and sample many different foods.

Amazing Chinese BBQ and roast pork in the food court and papa beard has out of this world cream puffs.

Really cool Japanese market. Prices are slightly higher for some items, but overall they have an amazing selection. And Hawaiian style poke!

Amazing grocery store with imported Asian goods of all kinds, wonderful produce, and fun gift items! Love the food court too 😋

I have visited one location near Portland, but this location had lots of things the Portland one doesnt!Unfortunately they dont stock my favorite noodles (which have proven to be difficult to find anywhere!).They have a nice pay to park area with validation if you spend 10 dollars.

They usually have fun snacks and interesting produce at good prices. Lately theyve been really crowded with not a lot of the usual stuff on the shelves so Im docking a star for that.

Local secret..good food great location and staff is awesome

Fantastic grocery store for Japanese and Asian foods.Picked up everything I needed for Shabu Shabu . Veggies, noodles, sauces, pickled vegetables and meat for my non vegan friend’s.Actually it was almost overwhelming with the choice’s that you have!They have stores outside downtown- but the mother ship is awesome!

Their food court is the best. Plenty of little restaurants of all Asian varieties to pick from. Stopped here on a whim because I saw they sold mochi donuts at Dochi. Amazingly delicious! I ordered a half dozen and ate them all within the day. Grocery store itself has a variety of food and skin care items. Plenty of things to look at.

Uwajimaya is an Asian grocery store specializing in Japanese food. Great selection of high quality meats, especially for hotpot. Theres also a nice bookstore attached that sells all kinds of nice books from Japan.

Great place its under construction but still open and they have great food at the food court

Tons of Asian food and gifts. It is like a Wal-Mart super center of Asian items. Also the food looked amazing I wish I had more time to stay! I will definitely be going back when I return.

This asian market is amazing!It’s huge, very well kept, and the produce is great! Good prices as well.

Such a variety of foods. Love this store. Wish we had one in denver.
