This is your standard mom & pops store.We stopped here quite a few times over the past month as we were staying at a rental on the same street. The store is really on the smaller side so the selection is limited but has some common essentials. I was a bit disappointed in the chip and drink selection. On the other hand, I was thrilled when I needed soy sauce and found a few bottles here. They also sell some hot foods. I saw a couple customers buying chicken katsu plates which looked awesome. I came another day since I started daydreaming about it but was advised that they only sell the katsu 2 days a week--- I think one day was Tuesday but wasn't sure about the second day. A couple times I bought egg rolls which were pretty damn good, and they provided packets of sweet/sour dipping sauce. The store is a bit on the dingy side even by mom & pops standards. I have a feeling that this was due to the location as there appear to be a couple of homeless or shady shelters on the same street. But that didn't bother me too much. Also, I unfortunately was going there while they were building a new building across the street. So there was thing film of dirt/dust on a lot of the shelf items. Lastly, the male staff there have always been polite to me--- not talkative but polite. But most recently, it was an older female employee who kept watching me with a suspicious look as if she thought I was going to steal. P.S.: SINCE THE MODERATOR IS TOO LAZY to update the store hours, please note that they are not open on the weekend. That was another downside. read more

The price of items there are crazy HIGH. Large bag of chips are over priced by $2.20. Bag has $4.79 on it but owner charges $6.99. The prices are not displayed anywhere for you to know ahead of time. Really sad to see that the disabled, elderly, low income community is subjected to price gouging that's so expensive. read more

I call this place Sketch Deli, the out side looks a bit sketchy and on the inside you wouldn't expect them to serve you lasagna, spaghetti and teriyaki. I was able to try their spicy teriyaki and chicken katsu. I was surprised at the amount of flavor the dish had. For a hole in the wall deli place, I wouldn't mind saving a good amount of cash towards lunch. Compared to the other restaurants located around the area, Home deli is very affordable. Their daily specials and even cheaper. I haven't tried their subs yet... I will eventually (depending on my liking that day). The owners here are very nice. I want to call out that they have a $5 minimum purchase for credit/debit cards. So if you're in the area and want to avoid paying $8-15 for a lunch meal, head of to Home Deli (aka Sketch deli). read more

Home Deli - a storefront on a street corner - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Amazing!! They have daily specials but my favorite is Spaghetti Fridays! A nice helping of food for $5!!! Plus, they are just the nicest family and welcome you with smiles and kindeness. Numerous times now I've came by and they've been out of spaghetti and they've thrown on another batch! Anybody else would have just turned me away. Love these guys!!! Definitely my Friday highlight. ;-) read more

This crew gets points for the location alone. Always a cast of characters that stroll on through, but polite to everyone. The new deli up the block is super pretentious, considering their big item is board head meats, and can't seem to make a proper Rubin. If home deli wanted to, they could slap together a grilled sandwich that would put places like row house to shame. (12 bucks for a grilled cheese @ row house...really?) Just a little more variety at this place, and it would be spot on with the deli counters that I visited growing up on the east coast. I tell you what. If you want a 6 pack of cold local beers, they always have something new in stock. read more

A nice little spot with very freindly guys. The food is cheap and actually pretty good. I got the teriyaki bowl a couple of times, but never the sandwhich or the salads. The rice is good, the meat is tasty. Its not the best, but so quick and good that I love it. read more

Pound for pound, Home Deli Market may well be the best deal for lunch in the South Lake Union area. Let's set some clear expectations here. The place isn't fancy, and it's not gourmet fare by any means. It's basically a little convenience store, a bit cramped and dark inside, and the food has been pre-prepared before you order it. Which means there's two main benefits: quality and price. I've had the chicken katsu special twice, and I've been impressed both times. Even though they use chicken (I generally prefer the more traditional pork), the cuts of meat are moist and flavorful, and not over-breaded. Even better, you get a lot of food - two pieces of chicken on a bed of rice, with a small salad. The salad is nothing to write home about, but the katsu is worth going back for. On days when the katsu is on special, you can get what I just described plus an egg roll or gyoza for less than $10. Most lunch on offer in South Lake Union comes in at $12 to $15 (sometimes even more), Home Deli offers a remarkable value. Decent food, excellent portions, and a deal that is probably the best in the area. Give it a shot for yourself - it's worth it. read more

Seattle average in every way. Average Hours - not open late Average Food - a popular teriyaki with the local building crews at lunchtime, but I tried it once, and it was very bland. Average Prices - for a deli Nice People in there. Can't buy a single beer, have to buy a six-pack. read more

I'll willingly admit, I often give 5-star reviews not because the place deserves 5 stars but just because I want them to stay open. But hey, if I like a place so much that I'm willing to give them a 5-star review to keep them in business, maybe that means they really are a 5-star business. Now we all know that even though SLU has plenty of good options for sit-down restaurants, there are very few good options for a quick and convenient lunch, and most of those quick and convenient options are just crowded at lunch, so suddenly they're not so quick and convenient anymore. So I'm glad I discovered Home Deli. The staff is nice, there's almost never a wait, and while the food isn't the best in the world, it's pretty near the top of the curve for the "quick convenient" option. I've had the chicken teriyaki, both the regular kind and the spicy kind. The teriyaki is comparable to the stuff you can find at the Uwajimaya food court or at a mall food court and comes with an extra helping of teriyaki sauce. Again, it's not the best teriyaki in the world, but if you're in SLU and you're craving slabs of meat for lunch, the teriyaki here is a pretty damn good option. The spicy teriyaki really is just the same teriyaki with spicy sauce thrown on it. There's enough spice for you to feel it, but no self-respecting Asian would consider it "spicy" by any means. Fortunately, you can always ask for extra spicy sauce. I also regularly have the turkey sandwich here. They have a decent selection of sliced bread to choose from. You can customize your sandwich pretty much any way you want. And they always keep things simple, which is always a good thing. The turkey is more like a turkey ham, which I know some people have a problem with, but I like it. Personally, I think the sandwiches here are better than Jimmy John's, Jersey Mike's, and whatever other sandwich chain you want to throw in there. The best part, though, is the ice cream cooler in the corner of the store. Sure, frozen ice cream sandwiches and fudgesicles aren't the most glamorous thing in the world, but there are literally no other frozen dessert options in the SLU, so I'll gladly eat something from the ice cream cooler. Home Deli is quick and convenient, and the staff is friendly. They fill a role that no one else in the neighborhood fills, and if one day they were suddenly gone, I would miss them dearly. To me, that's a 5-star business. As one of my friends said, the only way they could be more perfect is if they also served fries. read more

3.5 Stars Home Deli Market carries Cherry Dr. Pepper. And this is noteworthy. read more

A tiny little market/deli that is nothing special. I have been in a couple of times because the place is quite close to where I live, but there really is no other reason to go. They serve teriyake around lunchtime that is mediocre at best, and is only worth getting if you cannot go anywhere else. It is take out only. The place has a few shelves of dry goods, and some overpriced beer, soda, and milk ($2.25 a quart) in some coolers. Forget produce or fresh foods - they don't have any. Don't risk going in the evening, because they will probably be closed, and be prepared to encounter a drunk whenever you go, because they always seem to be leaving with their tall cans of beer. The people that run the place do seem to be quite friendly, which aside from any potential advantage that the location offers, is the only redeeming feature of the place. read more

Affectionately called the "Home Boy Deli" by the locals. They'll learn your name within a few visits and are always there for a good laugh. They're my Hommies so be nice to them. It's like any other small market - but with the best damn Teriaki you can imagine. Never try the coffee. It's a bad bad thing. read more

Curry chicken on Wednesdays are so good and flavorful! Curry has big chunks of chicken, potatoes, carrots, and chickpeas!

Super sketchy. When I walked in I couldn't believe this place had lasagna and teriyaki chicken. I'm not sure where he pulled them out of but he popped them in one of the microwaves, added a salad with a less than favorable sweet dressing and handed them over. The white rice was great. I still can't believe we ate the food. We're here to talk about it so it either can't be that bad or we got lucky. Lasagna wasn't actually ok, like a Stouffer's frozen one. read more

Nice little corner store that has everything you need crammed into a closet. Chicken katsu is good when I'm hungover and need something to tame my morning/afternoon whiskey breath. Definitely stoked I found this place. Don't expect 3 Michelin stars, it's a damn mini mart. Think Asian 7-11 food but you won't break your teeth on it. read more

This is my go-to lunch spot for a quick and very reasonably priced meal. I always order the spicy chicken teriyaki which comes with rice, a side salad, and two gyoza. They are pretty efficient in that usually one person puts your meal together while another person rings you up. They can get you in and out pretty quickly even when there are a lot of construction workers stopping in to grab lunch. They accept credit card with no additional charge if the purchase is over $5. It's just over $7 for a perfect, protein-packed lunch. It's not the best chicken teriyaki, but it is the perfect offering for a corner store market. read more

Teriyaki = Scare-iyaki It's cheap and they are willing to make substitutions. The Teriayki will tear apart your insides and leave you begging for mercy. Instant trip to the bathroom. I'll eat pretty much anything, but I won't eat that. read more

Bought their sandwich and it was a huge mistake. Expensive & sucks for the price of it! Please go to Row House Café (across the street from it) for amazing food that worth your money. read more

The Home Deli. They say nobody has seen you at your worst like your neighborhood grocer.Yet owner randy and his family never treat anybody that comes to the store with anything but the utmost respect and excellent customer service! Prices are same if not lower then other stores in the area.They have Essentials and snacks.Beer, Wine and Cigarettes. The teriyaki is delicious, expedient , and for under $8.00? Here in downtown?? Cant beat it.Various handmade sandwiches(I recommend the tuna) as well as several other menu options . Lastly , I would be amiss if I failed to mention The Egg Rolls! There had been times in my life when literally all I had to my name, was a few dollars , and some loose change.I would walk down to The Home Deli grab two hot egg rolls and a 12oz sprite...leave satisfied and zero regret.The Home Deli holds a special place in my heart and is truly a hidden gem of Seattle. read more

We just moved to South Lake Union from the Southwest. This market is literally on the corner from our apartment. It's small and quaint. We have heard good things and read the reviews. After shopping there for little essentials, we finally tried the spicy teriyaki. It's amazing! Best teriyaki I have had in a very very long time. The prices are so reasonable for being in a expensive part of town. 10/10 will totally eat here more often. Support local and small business. read more

Home Deli Market isn't the best carry out that's ever existed. However, if you reside east of Fairview in South Lake Union it's the closest. They have a great selection of beers and a friendly staff--they always greet me when I walk in. I do have a few suggestions. First, I think they should extend their hours later into the evening. Second, I think they could improve their selection of groceries. Third, they could improve the space. read more

I love this place because, its close to my pad, the staff are really friendly, they've got a pretty good menu and grocery selection. I really enjoy giving this place my business, it seems like I'm supporting people rather than corporations read more

Have not tried the food there, so can't speak to that. But the convenience store aspect of it is claustrophobic and overpriced. $5 minimum to use a card. The folks behind the counter have been glaring and unhelpful every time. Gave it a couple tries, but now I'm done. Avoid. read more

A super friendly family owned and operated corner market/deli with character and actually pretty good lunch food. You can't go wrong with the teriyaki or the friday spaghetti special. Expectations shouldn't be high. It is what it is. Cheap but decent. Supporting local family owned businesses is a no-brainer. read more

Great friendly people and all your Basic day to day needs. For the cascade neiborhood it's our only choice for convenience store supplies.
