Uwajimaya Reviews

Good store for almost anything, clean organized, cashiers always nice. There's nothing about it to make it a 5 star.

The lots of employees over the meat and seafood department are rude. Not welcoming at all. Same for the cashiers. I can get better seafood, meat quality and better service elsewhere. Bottom line is this location hired lots of disrespectful employees.

Always loved this place since a kid. This location is no exception. Whenever I need ingredients for an Asian meal I come here. A whole isle of noodles/ramen. Plenty of fresh produce. Good selection of Asian spices/ sauces. Also decent beer selection.

Always one of my favorite places to visit. Try their deli for fresh Asian food.

Like the varied items but do not like the jacked up prices.

This store has a great selection of Japanese, Chinese and other Asian grocery staples, housewares and a limited section of Japanese beauty aids. There is a hot deli and there are hot and cold bento boxes to go. Great store!

Fresh seafood but pricey. Always get the best here. I really like this store and its location.

Love my local Uwajimaya here in Renton with so much variety! The guys in the seafood department eagerly assisted me in my search for smoked haddock which is common of the East Coast and also provided knowledge of more local species for a close alternative. We find what we need at Uwajimaya or pick up some already prepared food in the take out department.

My place for poke, teas, green tea ice cream, produce and more. Service is always excellent. Been going to Uwajimaya since I was a little g. Try the cakes of paradise. You won't be disappointed.

I like to eat the same food I grew up with in Hawaii and it is always easy to find the ingredients I need to make those dishes with at this store. On this day, I was making bitter melon stew. The only place I could find the bitter melon was Uwajimaya. Staff here are also friendly and willing to help. Go visit!

I needed a fish, this place had some, and as a bonus, cool dudes employed in the fish section.

Thanks for a smooth visit where I got what I needed. Surprisingly, that is not easy in most places.

Very cold in the store almost no heat in the winter. Make sure wear warm clothes

The fresh fish guys were so cool! But there were many things that I couldn't find - as a light traveler. But I like that you can purchase hot food and eat right inside a customer dining area.

Glad we went. Face masks might be required. We got chopsticks, chopstick rests, a wok, and were so tempted to buy much much more. They have the cutest stuff, sake sets, teapots, teacups, mini legos, beauty supplies, stuffies. Of course the grocery store food, snackies. We ate at the deli, picked out orange chicken & gemeral tsos with noodles. Pork shortribs with rice. Also grabbed a spicy tune roll from the cold case. The food was great, will definetely be coming back when we travel here. Smaller than the Seattle one, but I liked the displays here.

Very clean, very conscious of social distancing methods and insistent on masks. I felt very safe shopping there. Products, as usual, are great!

Everyone there was so polite and helpful, especially in the seafood dept

Smaller of the Uwajimaya markets but still lots of goodies.

Great place to buy some Asian products in Renton. They also sell cooked Asian foods. We usually come here to buy some Sake.

I'm from Hawaii and when I get a craving, this is my 'go to' spot.

The place in the Seattle area for Asian food and products. Almost a 90 years!

Great selection and location. Awesome seafood department with really great customer service.

Best and only Japanese market in town. You can buy a variety of very fresh fish, clams, oysters, crayfish, shrimp, muscles, sea urchin, crab, poke, sashimi, and sushi. It is always my go to place for seafood. 99 Ranch Market and Fred Meyer is stinky and frozen at best. You find most of your Japanese ingredients to stationary here too. Have a craving for Natto?, you can find it here! Staff is always helpful. Store is very clean and organized. Hot prepared food is okay. Veggie selection is often good and fresh. They have a decent amount of local produced items and even gluten free products. With quality, you will also pay a little bit more to. They do offer senior and student discounts on certain days and times. Every so often, they do host events in their parking lot.

Good, me and Nonno went down to get lettuce and chicken for dinner, and make a salad!

Good selection, unfortunately most staff don't know their products too well. Kinda over priced.

Clean and quiet store, but they have much less selections than Seattle and Bellevue store.

Great Store but the one in Seattle's International District is Far Better.

Always a good place to stock up on Asian/exotic ingredients and we always find something new and interesting to try.

Great food at the counter by the deli. It's just a fun place to wander around.

I love the hot food section, their spam musubi is to die for. Has the bonus of an Oasis bubble tea shop in the store!

Didn't realize they have milk tea until today, I love it. Everything is pretty reasonably priced.

While this one is fun to go to it is far less impressive then the one in Seattle. It's hard to beat the live catches and tanks. There is good quality Asian food I would shop here daily if I lived close. I really did love roaming the isles. Everything is also really fresh unlike other markets.

On the expensive side. Only go there for last minute things.

The BEST japanese grocery and food market in the Northwest.

I love the seafood and deli. I also appreciate the store's face mask policy.

This one doesnt have as much as the one in the international district.

Best, freshest selection of seafood around. Def Asian inspired items here. Great store

A great selection of different Asian specialty foods, including unique produce. Some of the prices were a little high, but the sale items were a good deal.

Best Japanese grocery source around. The staff is great too.

This place is absolutely fantastic I love the food court and it has the best Japanese food market

This is my favorite Asian grocery store in the Renton and Seattle area. Thanks, Chelsea & Nathan, for your wonderful customer service today. My boyfriend loves this place, too. God bless and peace to Uwajimaya and all of it's employees.

I love this place but it s way over priced I m from Hawaii and they have what they have back home. Otherwise it s an overall good store!

If you want fish, this is the place to go. Very knowledgeable guys in the seafood dept, even gave me cooking tips! Great customer service. I only gave 4 stars because I didn't go through any other sections of the store. So I will update when I do that.

They now carry Tres Japanese style sandwiches: egg sandwiches, veggie croquettes, cream and strawberry. What a delight it was to see them there. No need to make the trip to Bellevue. Plus, can now have those sandwiches after 2pm when Tres (the original shop) closes

I like discovering neat little asian gadgets and snacks from this place.

My favorite Asian grocery. Fresh spam musubi and other hot foods made every morning. Fresh produce. Friendly-ish staff. Lovely place.

Great food and customer service. I love their spam misubi

The employees could be more welcoming. But the store itself has a great selection. It's just about the same price for some produce here as other stores. But this IS the place to go for asian goods.

Not as epic as the one in Seattle, but still has great selection.

Good place. Lots of variety. I go there every now and then for odds and ends.

So much to see. So little time to look. Next time will start looking there first.

Very pleasant and helpful staff!! Plenty of ono Hawaiian food that our family miss is available!*****

Perfect good food store, u can call tht food store as a OSFS...ONE STOP FOOD STORE

Awsome selection, they have lots of items you didn't know you needed..

This is my go to for Japanese ingredients. I have never had an issue looking for a specific ingredient for my Japanese recipes here. The seafood counter is really good too. The staff are all so helpful.

Always clean. Seafood is top notch. One of the few places you can still get bean sprouts

Fresh Seafood Counter which includes daily cut sashimi, salt water tanks of crab, mussels, oysters, & fish; Meat Department includes beef & pork sliced for hot pot & sukiyaki, sweet & sour spare ribs; Food Service includes BBQ pork & duck & freshly made sushi & musubi. They carry a treasure trove of delightful baked goods which includes mochi, flan, cheesecake, cookies of all sorts, mini pies, & carrot cake, & baklava; Asian produce & wine & reasonable prices for eggs...a wonderful Asian grocery store which highlights Japanese items. They have a gift section & a housewares section & have even added a bulk section if you would like to buy cases of instant noodle bowls.

No matter which Uwajimaya I go to I have a good time and always find what I need.The hot deli is always yum and so is the fresh sushi.Thankyou Uwajimaya...

Cheaper than Chinatown location. I like it. The Oasis stand has friendly staff and makes good drinks!
