They've got japchae as well (also sells out), a few other snacks, and also spam musubi now! Prices are a bit ..pricey, but it is a family run local spot so I still like to go support when I am able.

Came for the kimchis and it delivered!!! Its crazy good!!!…read moreWhen words has it that they got the best kimchis; i was hesitant to believe it but danggggg; this is it!!! We got the napa kimchi; its briny, salty, so flavorful. The radish kimchi is slightly sweet and sooo much flavor The cucumber kimchi is so juicy and so perfect. We love them. We plan to go back to try their soy marinated crabs and other kimchis (they did not have the full stock this time) But so so glad we found this place. And the best part is that its 5 mins away from my work! Heck yea!! Lol

It's like going overseas. A lot of imported gifts at the front of the store, and just about…read moreanything else you could want from a myriad of different countries. A lot of fresh, still-in-the-tank live seafood, including shrimpies, lobsters, fish, clams and even oysters. No halibut, though, but they have whole fish you can buy that are already dead. About $5 to $7 a pound, four- to five-pound average. You have to clean and scale them yourself, but that is a lot cheaper than a fishing license and you don't have to throw any back. They have some cool artificial jade statues that I will probably buy next time I am up there. Please see the photos. There is also a P. F. Changs restaurant inside this mini-mall setup. Love their egg rolls.

Stopped in to get some pork belly for a korean jjigae (stew) i plan to make this weekend.

If you are planning to enjoy an Asian "hotpot" meal at home, this is a great place to pick up the items. They have many different hot pot broths/ soups, and all kinds of frozen thinly sliced meats and frozen seafood to chose from. I frequent this Asian supermarket for groceries.

I was here about 4-5 years ago and remember being turned off by the dilapidated exterior, dingy…read moreinterior lighting and what appear a discount outlet of items that fell off the boat or were shipped to the U.S. in error. That said, after today's visit, I stand corrected. The exterior is run down and the lighting inside is depressing, but the place is clean, the staff is nice and the pricing is competitive. If this place had a robust meat selection, I think they could give Uwajimaya a run. I didn't find everything I was looking for, but the dry spices and vegetables were exactly what I was after. I didn't see cabbage or celery, but the selection was still more diverse than any other store I've visited. My singular knock was the two guys stocking the store. Both were kind and polite, but they also had radios blasting music. I'm sensitive to sound, so it made it hard for me to focus and I'm sure a couple items I was after I missed, because I couldn't stay in the area where they were stocking merch. Bulk spices tend to last, so it may be a minute before I find my way back here. That said, this will be my go to spice store.

Gigantic warehouse of food items slightly off the beaten track in Renton. An "IYKYK" type spot…read more Recommended to check out by a friend who gets some healthcare items here, specifically, pain balm - they have a counter of these items as well as an herbal/apothecary with a dedicated space inside. Worth checking out, especially if you are in need of some lesser known or harder to find ethnic items for cooking. Gigantic selection of South Asian staples, in particular. The size of the selection is honestly astounding. Also some very original, for this area, items such as Afghani bread. Very cool. On the con side, it's a bit ramshackle and untidy or run down in appearance. Very popular, tho.

I shop at Metro a few times a year, but it's normally at the Sand Point location after leaving a…read morefriend's place. I would have been clueless to this location, but a couple years back, I grabbed a physical ad and it listed this location. Mercer Island is a place I don't make a habit of visiting and this stop reminded me why. My brother used to live here, but that was 30 years ago. Pulling into the parking lot, everybody was acting like their car was priceless and you needed to give them space. If it takes you 45 seconds to back into a space everyone else is pulling into, you will catch my horn. It was a sunny day, but the real reason you needed sunglasses was to reduce the glare of the oversized ultraclear diamonds. I'll be blunt, I can't afford to live here, but it doesn't mean I can't shop there and truth be told. My car is just as nice or nicer than MI residents, I just never felt a need to live in financial isolation. We'll come back to the car. Almost everything you see here is 30% higher than a regular store, the only advantage to shopping her in my opinion is selection. You will find brands and items not normally found at Safeway or Fred Meyer, but I also saw sliced salami for nearly $24 a pound. You also see a lack of items on sale here which again, just reduces the overall value. I had people bumping into me, nudging me to get to items in front of me like I didn't matter and no one said excuse me or thank you for me yielding when they were clearly in the wrong. At one point, I literally had an employee apologize to me. He witnessed residents being entitled and rude to me and it was clear that was not the environment the store wanted to foster. My cashier was really nice, when I asked about her day, I think she quickly knew, I was not a local. Her face lit up and it was clear, she just wanted to be recognized. In the parking lot, I encountered a retired couple who had cut in front of me multiple times. They looked scared like I was there for payback. When I walked around there car the wife got worried, then I heard her tell her husband, "That's his car" next to their. As it turns out. We drive the exact same car, just difference colors. Matter of fact, I have 2 of them. I'm old school and last time I was here, this place was Albertson's Matter of fact, my childhood neighbor was the Store Director. . Last time I got so much attitude, I was in Medina. I'm happy for your success, but don't turn public places into uncomfortable atmosphere. It probably doesn't help that prices here are so unreasonable that people feel an obligation to act like idiots because they can afford to shop here weekly. The irony, I have shopped QFC on the south end and it feels like any other grocery store.

I had requested a lunch special with butter chicken, rice and naan. The female employee seemed short and impatient with me, but I had honestly never ordered here before. When she gave me the total, it was obviously not a lunch special, but wanted to end the uncomfortable transaction and just paid. She told me they just had to make the naan and the other was prepared already. 12 minutes to heat up the naan? Hmm. The taste of the food was good, with the chicken being just a little well done from being in the steamer tray for a while. Issaquah has so many choices for this cuisine. I'll probably elect to try one of the other choices before stopping back at Mayuri, even though I work right next door.
