I don't think everything is lower cost versus at a regular grocery store though, but you can find some really cheap things here, especially bulk size. What I think is the jackpot though are the flavored syrup. I normally go to Home Goods and hope for the best what brand/flavors are available. There was a whole one-sided aisle of syrups here. You're not going to find everything here like a regular store or even Costco, but it's worth checking it out. Next time you need cost effective produce or meat for a big event, I recommend stopping by here.

Am I the only person that feels trapped in my house/yard by Covid? I go out and traffic is still…read moreheavy and people are everywhere so obviously I'm pretty alone in my self isolation. This store has been one of my major grocery stores during Covid. I go into the office once a week to a mostly empty building and afterwards to what I will always think of as Cash N Carry. It's just blocks away, so once a week I make a stop there and stock up. Really, if you are looking for great deals and quality on meats, cheeses, dairy, veg, fruits - both frozen and fresh, desserts and so much more, this is a perfect place to go. I miss civilization and can't wait for that shot in the arm so I can freely wander again but at least I have my weekly shopping trip to Cas.. I mean US Foods CHEF'STORE. ... What a horrible name. Just saying.

Whenever I had gone into a restaurant supply type of store, there are certain things that should be…read morein stock so that folks who need to cook can reliably support their menus. I benefitted from stores who would keep certain food items in stock so that if I would need that ingredient, I could easily grab it, pay for it, and then hurry back to cook. This particular store on 204th Street has become quite a repeated disappointment, because too much lately I come into this store, and they are out of the coffee that I need, seafood items I need to cook, and stocking their shelves happens, maybe yes, or it's empty. I asked for granulated onion, and there was NONE. I looked for meat and seafood bases, and they were either missing, or I grabbed the one last remaining one. Once I bought a 5 lb bag of IQF peeled, deveined shrimp without tail. I went back, there was none like it ever after my first purchase of the shrimp. I remember I had bought breaded oysters, and after coming back, there were none, I mean gone forever. I have also gone to restaurant supply houses that carry pots, pans, dishes, cutlery, and cooking utensils. This store had never had them that I can recall, Inventory control is a mess in this store. They need to keep a close record of what moves from the shelves, and then re-order accordingly. Having full shelves is a far better shopping experience than frequently empty shelves. Perhaps I will need to drive all the way down to the Broadview neighborhood store. It's a long drive from North Lynnwood, but I am getting sick and tired of shopping at this particular store.

It's primarily a store for restaurants and food service providers. It has a warehouse/grocery store vibe. It's typically not for the timid, but hold your judgement for now. Example: Canned items are sized for restaurant use. A brand of chili I'm partial to has the weight of six pounds on the label. Just to give you an idea. Beef is not made into cuts like steaks or roasts. You get what are called "primal cuts" like the brisket, flank, sirloin, or round. Each weighing six pounds or more in most cases. So if you don't mind opening cans and portioning the contents into freezer bags, or cutting your own steaks, roasts, stir fry, or stew meat, you'll feel at home. And if you know your prices, you can find their sale items to be generous. Just have the freezer space to accommodate. That's not to say they don't cater to the regular shopper. Produce, bread, and some diary items are available. The selection of precooked vacuum sealed Asian noodles is worth mentioning. And there is a selection of pre packaged deli meat and cheese slices available. Some of them very good. The meat classics are there: like salami, roast beef, ham, turkey, mortadella, corned beef, or pastrami. Tip: if there is a one or two pound container of corned beef or pastrami, get one if your a fan. It's worth mentioning the bulk cheese section. Here you buy a loaf of provolone or Swiss at considerable savings. Just prepare your spouse ahead of time when you arrive home with a two foot long loaf of Swiss. And have the fridge space figured out. There are other cheeses ranging from bulk Greek feta, Gorgonzola, and Asagio, to Parmesan, Gouda, or mozzarella. Imported and domestic. Worth a look if you're a cheese or fondue lover. I pick up Mozzarella, Swiss and Provolone. Tip: warm clothing advisory - it's cold in that room. They have the primal cuts of mostly beef and pork in the same curtained off section. Bulk bacon and linked specialty items like hot dogs and Brotwurst are also there. The freezer section carries prepared items like burritos, ravioli, breakfast sausage, seafood, appetizers, and desserts. In bulk sizes. Again: if you know your prices you can walk out with some pretty good deals. Just have the freezer space. Pastas, flours, and rice: there is no shortage. The variety of name brand bulk flour and rice is impressive. Bulk size bags of pasta are competitively priced. Baking supplies should be compared. Bulk charcoal, usually three or more varieties is available in season. Red Mill is the predominant brand of flour: 25 lb bags. The store provides a large assortment of commercial grade kitchen supplies. Cleaning supplies, paper plates, freezer bags, foil, bulk rolls of plastic wrap, and various items used for catering. Serving utensils, platters, trays and commercial grade cooking tools and knives are offered. Large containers of mostly, but not all, common spices are there. Chef's Store does not provide bags for you to transport your goods. At the front of the store empty boxes that held bulk product are free and available for you to transport your food home. Since no bagging is done checkout is much faster. There can be a line but it moves. Staffing has mostly been adequate. If your into providing a spread during a football game, throwing a BBQ, or having a party - it's worth checking CS out. During game season the activity level is noticeably higher. If you become a regular, it's better to go there on a weekday before they get hit by the weekend party crowd. Parking is adequate. During weekends when there is a game it will get crowded. There is parking for disabled customers at the store front. Grab a cart before going in. Grab boxes when leaving or bring your own bags. PS: keep a sharp eye out for product not found in grocery stores. I found an Asian Tabasco sauce that was not available anywhere except at CS. Sometimes they get a shipment of product a company is testing. I stocked up. It's no longer available. Good hunting !

I'm so sad to write this review. Many year's ago, Dick's restaurant supply helped me with some…read moretable bases and even helped me mount the odd shaped tabletops to them. So when it came time to replace my undercounter refrigerator after my last one died in less than a month, I decided to go with a heavy duty commercial grade American made one and went to Dick's. Unfortunately, their long term sales manager retired last year and I got Jeff. I should have been warned when he could not get the quote to only show one refrigerator rather than two. But I went ahead and paid ahead in full and was told it would be 2-3 weeks. When I called two weeks later, I was told it would be late due to the Labor Day weekend. I called again a week after that and was told that because I chose the residential version that it would be 6-8 weeks. (which had NEVER been told to me). I called at 8 weeks and was told that someone would get back to me. No one did. 9 weeks post purchase and I finally get hold of Jeff, who is evasive about whether it has actually been ordered but says that it is "in stock" at the manufacturer but they have to "customize" a surround and "black like we talked about" which we most certainly didn't. The only communication we have had apart from the initial contact/payment is me calling to ask where the fridge is. At this point he says he will investigate and email, and then asks, "didn't you put a deposit down?". At this point I am quite worried about the thousands of dollars paid and escalate to management, asking for a refund if it has not actually been ordered. So now I am waiting for the refund and am going to go to Albert Lee. I know this used to be a good place to go and I have purchased a lot of smaller things here over the years which is why I trusted them with this large purchase but there was no responsibility there whatsoever. Hopefully management will get things in order.
