The greater Puget Sound region is blessed with grocery store chains that are Asian centric such as:…read moreUwajimaya, Asian Family Market, 99 Ranch, H Mart, Seafood City, Hong Kong Market, Island Pacific, Lam's, etc. in addition to all the smaller indies, mom & pop grocers. Places like Town & Country and Saar's also have extensive Asian aisles and shelves dedicated to Asian grocery items.
I'm late to the party celebrating the Canadian chain T&T Supermarket. Yes, the behemoth opened in Bellevue back on 12/5/24 and this smaller one took over the former Sprouts in Lynnwood on 11/13/25. Since then, they have opened two more sites in California too. Armed with gift cards from The College Friend, The Homie and I made a spontaneous first visit to the Lynnwood store (9/30/26).
I like that it is so well organized, bright, and clean. I really liked the variety of the produce, items for dim sum and hot pot, sauces & spices, snacks, meat & fish areas, cooking gear, and especially the hot food, ready to go entrees/platters, and bakery sections.
We visited on a weekday mid afternoon, so parking, shopping, and checkout was easy peasy. There's even onsite seating to enjoy one's paid purchases. We demolished the pork belly and BBQ steamed buns. Interesting to note, there's chopsticks, compostable forks & spoons, straws, but no napkins or paper towels available.
Pro tips: download the US based app for more deals, organize your items so checkout is straightforward, bring your own bags (although one can purchase or obtain via accrued points, their branded bags).
