Hong Kong Market

We often buy fish and vegetables from this shop and it was fresh and good.

And they had a great selection of fish and the guy behind the counter was really nice. He opened up a package and sold me just a few pieces of small fish. All the produce was really fresh as well as having a great selection. The store was organized with a lot to choose from from Japanese to Thai.

For this Hong Kong market, watch out for stale meat, spoiled desserts on the counter, and Vietnamese coffee served with nasty cream. Not authentic (not using condensed milk). Sandwiches are decent, using lard, so that makes it taste good. However, I've had some plastic debris in my sandwich before, so I'm concerned about the cross-contamination. You can dissect it for yourself. They charge $1 per lb to fry the fish for you. They used to season it first before deep frying. Now they seasoned it right after, and it's tasteless. The BBQ pork is always overcooked, and greasy. It's soaked with oil seems. After eating it gives me so many problems every time because of the so much greasy in the meat and skin. Customer service is okay. The market itself has a good amount of fresh fish and vegetables.

I've been stopping by every so often since they opened. I love that they have a deli with several different items and hot fresh BBQ items. They have a lot of great offerings of products from Southeast Asian and East Asian. They also offer cookware, utensils and other home needs too. The seafood section lets you buy fish and they will fry it for you too. The prices for seafood is probably one of the cheapest in the area. I haven't had any issues with their seafood so it is fresh. I will admit that I have seen some items that are past their expiration date. They also don't keep things at the best temperature for certain items so you just have to be careful. The store layout is organized but I wouldn't say the store is 100% clean. The staff members here can be friendly or stoic. Other than that, this market is great for the plentiful parking, location and product types.

The parking lot is a bit crammed and set up wonky but they have so many options squished in that little corner from coffee to pizza and bahn mi’s. The store as well is very crammed, but it’s got everything the Kent Hong Kong has without the crazy crowd. It feels bigger as well, might just be the taller ceilings idk. But they have a fresh and frozen seafood section with fish mongers, as well as a deli that seems to be busier than the last time I patroned. The bathroom is an improvement from Kent’s. The have betel nut and leaf. Bahn mi. All the sauces a Palauan could really need as well as vegetables. I’d prefer this one over the Kent location but the honestly it’s kind of tucked into a part of federal way I do travel through so besides that it’s a great Asian grocery store.
