Uwajimaya Seattle

This is my go to Uwajimaya store. I ha e been to the Bellevue location, but this one is the one I prefer. Friendly people in all apartments, especially the meet department. Everybody seems to know where everything is and are very helpful in finding what you're looking for. Grabbed a few bags of the unique flavored lays potato chips and some of the banana and melon cheese puffs. We always find unusual stuff here. And like to try the variety of things that we don't see in our normal grocery store. Not only a grocery store, but restaurant and gift shop available as well.

Roast pork is the only thing you need to put a smile on your face. This amazing grocery store has it all, but it pales in comparison to the food …

This store was AWESOME!! So many selections. I was in the store for 90 minutes and could've easily spent 90 more. I made sure to stock up on ingredients that I usually have to purchase on Amazon. Sushi and sashimi selections for as far as the eye can see. If ramen is your jam, get comfy, it'll take an hour to look at all the varieties! Just wish it wasn't a 4 hour drive for me from Idaho.

Nice grocery store in Chinatown. Parking lot right in front. Very convenient. Spacious inside. Clean and bright. They have many sections, grocery, snacks, …

Uwajimaya is the model for how all Asian grocery stores should be - pristinely clean, well-stocked, and bustling. You can get both local and Japanese-imported ingredients, but also popular spices, noodles, and ingredients from other Asian countries, as well - truly an international grocery store. They frequently support local businesses, which will be on display in the bakery and refrigerated sections. Their selection of food and fun goodies are always on rotation, so every visit is different. They even have gauchapon machines at one of the entrance. During the holidays, like Lunar New Year or New Year’s holiday, they will feature food related to the cultures that celebrate the respective holidays. Once, they even had a photo feature for fans to meet the singing voice actor of Jinu (Andrew Choi) from Kpop Demon Hunters. Another time, they had Hello Kitty visit. There’s a food hall with some delicious food, including their store-brand, Waji’s. Uwajimaya is a huge boost to the local community - so glad we have it right next to the light rail for accessibility too.
