Uwajimaya Reviews

Unexpectedly great selection happen to talk to a friend that goes there went there myself and found out I'm a huge fan of rice crackers. And the selection is huge. Honestly if your up for trying new things it's worth stopping in. The hot food was kinda bland and the wait was long. But the store itself really great. Highly recommended and that's very hifmgh praise from me.

The best place in the Renton area for Asian food & other merchandise with friendly and helpful employees. Thank you, Jacob, in the Seafood Dept. for helping me with my order. Thanks, Operations Manager, Jacob, for your kindness and sense of humor coupled with great customer service.

Great selection, good prices, and the staff are friendly and helpful

Great Asian store. Fresh poke, lots of island fare. Easier. And less crowded. Downtown Seattle can be a bit more daunting.

They have everything!!! Well if it has to do with Asian food it seems like they have it all covered.

I love the variety your store offers... The staff are always willing to help look for items,and their involvement in the community is wonderful ...I am looking forward to a upcoming event at your stores location.." the Polynesian Festival ".. Management team at the store truly care and it shows... they work just as hard ,if not harder than anyone...

Good layout to the store, had everything I needed, and a great price on the bone in pork shoulder.

Not as busy as the Seattle location. They carry a lot of Hawai'i products.

Jace was an awesome cashier and has awesome customer service skills. We left with a wonderful experience. Keep it up!

Everything we needed for our Asian and hawaiian cravings while visiting Seattle. Clean, workers were courteous. Prices were comparable to my Vegas prices. They also had an area where my daughter could buy her cute knickknacks and characters she LOVES

Good asian store with lots of different varieties of foods

Excellent selection of Asian groceries including wagu and seafood, produce, drinks, and snakes.

I love this place, it is a place I shop at frequently.

This is a local Asian Market is the same company that is a major destination in Seattle's China town! It is always packed with people and while it is larger and has a bookstore as well. The Renton location is very convenient with the freshest seafood and vegatables and lots of Asian groceries. Right next to 405 check it out !

Good selection of Asian foods and sweets. Has a section of cooking utensils and I even found a spam musubi maker and spam cutter!!

Great meat and seafood. Friendly staff. All the Asian regular and specialty items you could need.

Has good selection of Asian goods and pretty clean. Has a nice fresh vegetable section.

Great place to pick up Asian groceries with a huge variety of food to select from. Lots of exotic fruits and vegetables as well.

Very clean and organized. Huge selection. Nice people. Asian deli.

Great place to shop for Asian foods, snacks & drinks from Asia, Hawaii, Phippines, Korea, Japan & China. Enjoyed the first store in the international district growing up. Well worth checking this store out. From their deli, fresh baked goods, to there fresh made foods. Go to in the south end. If you need, desire it, they have it !!!

I love having Uwajimaya close to me but seems like the ugly step daughter of the two

They have nice employees they have what you need for any type of asian food and they have more then just food there its great i would recommended this place.

I appreciate being able to buy Asian food at Uwajimaya - especially since I have been a bit homesick for Japanese cuisine. This store is tidy and the prices are reasonable.

Everything you need from produce to frozen to any kind of grocery item.
Long time favorite.
They have Yoshinoya frozen!

I found high quality seafood, beautiful vegetables and other things that help me cook more authentically.

This place is excellent, and properly stocked with all basic needs. A good place for shopping

While it's smaller and not as widely stocked as its store in Seattle, they definitely have all the essentials that you need to stock your Asian pantry. It's also great that it's accessible to all the south end population. Definitely one of my go to stores

Very high priced and smaller selection than most Asian grocery stores

good place, but not cheap comparing other asian stores.

It's very nice there's some cute toys mostly food.very nice I reccomend it.

Truly the best Asian grocery store in the Northwest. The Boba tea from the OASIS store is also typically quite good. The fish counter has many different types of Poke They carry many different types of frozen fish, shellfish and crab. You can get meatball to use in Pho. They have many types of mushroom, bean sprouts, various pepper variety in the produce section. Some items are a little more expensive here than your typical grocery, however Uwajimaya is anything but typical.

Good selection. Deli is quick, and we'll priced (without skimping on quality).

Love to shop here. We buy bonito flakes. We use them for soup and as treats for our pets. If you buy them in the pet stores, they are priced up to 3 times more than here. Also have really good cooked duck. A great deli section with rice, veggies, multiple entree's. Their Seafood and meat department, and vegetable departments are plentiful. It is also very clean.

Great store with a fantastic seafood / sushi grade fish selection and an array of Japanese food staples. There is also a small gifts and kitchenware section as well as fresh produce. I've never gotten food from their deli as the selection looks more Chinese than Japanese, but they do have hot food as well as a great selection of bentos for your lunch or grab and go needs.

Fresh meat and fish, great place for those who are not comfortable with going to a legitimate Asian grocery store.

Recently moved up here and was looking for miso paste. I went to DK Market which turned out to be a horrible place. The parking was a nightmare and they had hardly any east asian groceries. Then I came here and found half an aisle of miso paste. All kinds of beverages I hadn't seen in quite some time for cheaper than I remember ever buying them for. It's neat clean and reasonably priced. Heaven!

Island foods, takes me home. Poi, lau lau, raw fish ono grinds!

Enjoy their deli, but they didn't have chow mein ready with a long wait to cook more. It was early in the day, not sure what happened. Usually this is one of my favorites. I enjoy the large portions.

This Asian grocery store is immaculate in its cleanliness as you first enter it's doors! The product displays are: uniform and vibrant as you pass through the ailes!

A bit overpriced but the Japanese/Korean noodle selections is awesome and cheaper than other stores.

Nice helpful staff makes grocery shopping a lot nicer.

Great selection of fish. The poke abd hot food are affordably priced lunch options. As far as Asian groceries go their prices are a little high, but they do have a good selection.

I always purchase my coffee here. Great, friendly staff. Great selection of food and specialty items.

Always great reduced priced meals. Perfect for night school classes

Great place for all sorts of food. Selection of non standard items is amazing.

Just okay no big deal. A little higher priced than other markets. I didn't care for the produce section. There didn't seem much of Interest. Fish prices were higher than other markets. I like that they have a lot of stuff. Like household stuff.

One of my all time favorite grocery stores. Super kind staff.

The only place to find Shime Saba; vinegar marinated mackerel. Comes frozen so you can have Saba sushi when you want Am trying out a pressed Saba sushi; Saba Oshizushi.

A good inexpensive Japanese store, authentic would even say so!

We absolutely love Uwajimaya. It is pricier than other grocery stores catering to Asian specialty foods and items, but so well worth it in terms of quality and inventory. Staff are friendly and helpful. Their deli is second to none and especially for sushi, poke, bento, and Spam (and other) musubi. The gift items are great fun. Bonus tip: if you're heading to Seattle, take the S Renton Park and Ride route 101 across the street and you'll be en route to the other Uwajimaya in Washington State in the international district. So awesome!!

Casheir is wonderful. We have unicorns in common..lol. And the chow funn and sesame balls are always good.

More market than anything else, which is fine. I was expecting it to be more like it's Seattle sibling but it's not. It's just a few isles of stationary and lots of water bottles which they tell you not to touch.

They have a pretty great selection and is one of the only places I can find sashimi salmon fillets. There is also yummy cooked food, and affordable little snacks.

Love this place! Unique items, reasonable prices, and friendly people

Amazing selection of foods from Eastern Asia. Fresh seafood.

First time visit. Missing a lot of items, compared to the Seattle and Bellevue stores. Not sure if the pandemic has anything to do with it or not. Disappointed, so will continue with the other stores instead.

I love the selection of foreign foods and the gift shop!

This store is great. My special needs son loves visiting here and trying different things. The staff here are friendly and very accommodating of him too.
