My husband is almost as nosy as I am when it comes to discovering new places. So when he said he…read morewanted to check out this new grocery store near southcenter, I was aghast to learn that there had been one under my nose this whole time. When he pulled into the parking lot, I knew exactly why I had missed it previously. Not only is the parking lot pretty narrow and single aisled, the concrete-blocked storefront itself is not obvious. I would assume it would be maybe the corporate office for the postal service or something similar. But definitely not a grocery store. With that being said, the storefront was clearly open and was easy to access. They had carts that were also easy to access, the aisles were clean and organized, although it was a 50/50 shot on value. It really depends on what you're looking for. But for the most part, protein sold in bulk was a great deal, along with other bulk goods like beans, pasta, grains, etc. I didn't really see that great of a discount on smaller individual items like spices or beverages, or even produce. Checking out was simple. Everyone made a single file line down and waited to cashiers to become available. Since the single file goes down the store to the right, it was difficult to see the cashiers. We waited about 10 minutes to be checked out. I'm not entirely sure if mostly working with other food service vendors and workers changes anything for the cashiers here, but I felt that it did lend a bit of a detached air from what you and I are used to in a more public grocery store. The employees, although they acknowledged everyone, were did not appear to manage the line (i.e.: calling out when a checker is ready, instead waiting for the customer to approach them), welcome or greet customers. They were having a few side conversations that halted traffic for a bit, but we have just arrived in time for a shift change, breaks, or something else similar. All in all, I felt the opportunity cost of all things given was enough to definitely return in the future. We made out like a bat out of hell with the bulk frozen ahi tuna and we'll be eating delicious dinner for the next couple weeks!

The store is generally well maintained…read more They offer refrigerated and frozen sections stocked with meat, dairy, produce, and prepared foods. It's a restaurant supply-style store, with large quantity packaging and even an aisle dedicated to Asian groceries. Most items come in bulk, with meat packages often exceeding 10 lbs--great value for the price. I picked up 14 lbs of boneless pork cushion at just $1.79/lb, along with a pack of romaine lettuce and fresh green beans.

I had a contract with CD Services dated 9/19/2018 and paid Anthony Crawford 80%, which was over…read more$20,000! He wrote down that the job would be completed by October 19, 2018. He brought in a large pipe that he left in our restaurant storage for about 5 months but did nothing else. He finally came in and installed it after months of me asking him to do it. He also installed a hood. This was only a small part of the job and nowhere near the $20,000 I have paid him. Since then, I have called, emailed, and texted more times than I can count with no response or a response saying he will be in this week but he never comes. I finally got him to come into the restaurant for a meeting. I brought someone to the meeting with me who knows the laws about contracting. He became so angry that we expected him to have answers and do the work that he got up and walked out and left in his car. This was in April 2019. He has never shown up again to complete the job and delivery the equipment and has not refunded my money even though I asked him to. He also has a key to my business and has never returned it so he has access to my restaurant. He has had my key for 11 months now and will not return despite asking him to. At this point, he has stolen thousands of dollars from me and I will be filing a complaint with the State and with the Attorney General. I will also be filing a report with the police.

Shopping in Tukwila, Washington…read more.. My niece wanted to go to Costco last time I visited her for her birthday in December. Somehow, we ran out of time. This time, I promised her that we would make Costco a priority. She finished work early and made our way to this organized, clean, and efficient warehouse. Parking was a bit challenging as people maybe had just finished work and were possibly shopping on their way home. We parked on the edge of the parking lot... no problem! Inside, the place seemed gigantic! The freezer section was like a longer row... as compared with the Costcos on Oahu, Hawaii. Plus, there was a Garden Center. I don't think we have those. We didn't really have time to see everything. We got whatever was on the niece's list, packed the frozen foods in my Trader Joe's cooler bag, and went to dinner nearby. This was a great experience! My niece has home meals for a while without breaking the bank... and everything fit in her home freezer!

The Costco in Tukwila is immense. The layout was new to me even though, I've been to a number of…read moreCostcos in the United States and overseas. There are a lot of speciality items here that I've never seen before which was great but the overall experience was rough to the amount of shopping who looked like they were experienced but grazed the entire time. Chaotic is the word I would use and its not for the first-timers. The parking is very limited and getting in and out is not vehicle friendly. If you are planning to visit, be strategic and time it either an hour before closing, or get there when they open and I would absolutely avoid the weekends.

My visit here pretty much started off online, where my bestie and I decided to sign up for a…read moredumpling class and found this place. We were put on the waitlist after doing so but then got a text several days later saying two spots opened for us, so I snagged our seats as fast as I could. Really appreciate the staff on the other line for reaching out to me and "reserving" my spots unless I let them know I'm not interested! Getting here, there is the Meyden Garage that offers 3-hour free parking for customers of Whisk and other surrounding businesses though most spaces inside there did not have the signage saying that so it was confusing parking around there. Getting inside the building, you'll see what can only be described as a haven for chefs and aspiring cooks of all levels; you have cooking tools, pots and pans, cookbooks, plates, neatly folded cloth napkins and a bunch of other things strewn around in such a colorful and organized manner. The kitchen for our cooking class was clean and spacious, with all the ingredients we need prepped and set out in front of us. We worked in pairs prepping and cooking all our dishes throughout. Chef Thanh Tang was very informative and engaging throughout the whole process, and the other staff working with him were efficient in cleaning used utensils and keeping everyone's prepped items in check. Instructions were very clear, and directions flowed very well since we made one dumpling after another! Since both of us don't really cook and we had many questions to ask, it took us a bit to catch up with the rest of the class, but all the folding techniques became much easier to do thanks to our teacher. For this particular class, we pan-fried the shrimp and chive dumplings, while the wontons and steamed vegetable dumplings we prepped were steamed while we all took a break. As for the spicy green beans, I actually had the chance to stir-fry a non-spicy version of them in front of the class! All the food we made here was really good, and we came close to having to box some of it home too! Everything here was worth the $150 per person from the experience to the food, and I'd take another class here in the future! For reference, the class I took is called "More Dumplings, Dumpling?" and ran on a Saturday from 5:30-8:30pm though that's just a timeframe since I did stay slightly longer just to finish my food!

It was a fun experience. You show up and get greeted by their staff. You'll find your station and go to work! Some of the ingredients are pre-prepped which is nice otherwise you'd be there all night haha. The class was roughly 2 hours long and then we enjoyed dinner all together so roughly a 2.5 hour experience when it was all said and done. The fans kick in so it can be a tad bit loud when everyone is cooking but the instructor was great and made his way around the room to make sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to do. They had 2 additional staff members helping out to make sure any ingredients you needed were available. Plus - you get a glass of wine :) Fun date night!
