I've seen many stores with much smaller spaces and much bigger selections. They have a prep kitchen for a taco truck they run in the store as well. If I was close by and needed something specific, I'd stop. But I would never travel to get to this store.

I ordered the Lao-style papaya salad and the Lao sausage, and both absolutely hit. The flavors are…read morebold, funky, and packed with umami definitely on the "stinky in the best way" side, which is exactly how I like it. Some days it's a hit or miss if i'm going to be honest, like for the papaya salad it's like they don't put enough padaek but 9 times out of 10 they do it good. The spot itself is tucked inside a small grocery store, which gives it a really homey, lowkey vibe. It's not fancy at all, but that's part of the charm you're here for the food, and it delivers every time. And if you're looking at my photo... ignore the seafood boil they don't sell that here, I just brought it into the mix because I was feeling extra and felt like a big back.

Came here to pick up some tom khao poon and Lao sausage. The customer service was great! The person…read moretaking orders on the restaurant side was also the cashier for the grocery store. The Lao sausage was really flavorful and huge. It came with sticky rice and jeow sam. The tom khao poon was a huge bowl serving! It came with lots of liquids and thin shredded papaya. I was hoping it came with eggplant, but it didn't. I also bought really expensive pork rinds to eat with it. I think the pork rinds was $6.99. I'll definitely be back to try their pak sien. Sorry I'm probably butchering all the spelling.

Hubby and I were in Seattle for a day - and we saw this place from our train on our way to our…read morehotel. So, we made it a point to visit on our way back to the airport. Glad we did. Appears to be a Polynesian store owned by Asians, not a novel concept at all. They had apparel and accessories, grocery items and cooked food! Hubby ordered the lamb and taro, while I got a spam musubi. We both enjoyed our food and tinkered with the thought of buying some other things, but we had just a carry on and didn't want to bother with additional baggage. Plus, their apparel while nice, was a bit pricey. While we were there, several people (some Polynesian) came in and ordered food to go. If you're ever in the Seattle area - I think this area is called Rainier Beach? At any rate, if you like Polynesian food or items and you happen to be in the area, stop by. Their lamb is surprisingly not as oily/fatty and has just the right amount of salt, and their spam musubi is good. No complaints. I really wanted a small pail of breakfast crackers but it didn't fit in our carry on. lol

There's also some overpriced apparel like shirts and hoodies. Convenience store is pretty much what it with not much you won't find anywhere else. It's gotta pretty cool design outside. This is shaped like a pagoda. Apparently this is a Polynesian deli. They have a few cheeses and meats, as well as a few salads. Everything looks basic. The shelves are mostly junk food like chips, processed foods, and crap. Honestly it's like a convenience store, with high prices to boot. It's located on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at Henderson. This is located close to the Rainier Beach station.

They also have a wide selection of imported packaged snacks (dates, biscuits), goods and spices that I'd imagine would be crucial for running any Somali, Ethiopian or Middle-Eastern kitchen or restaurant.

I'm not from the Somali end of Africa, but I love it here for the warmth of the proprietors and the sense of dépaysement! 5 stars

It might be the location, but honestly the food deserves way more customers, everything was fantastic. We ordered the Meat Combo, which came with Kitfo and Ayeb, Key Wot, Alicha Wot, and Gomen Besiga. The Kitfo, an Ethiopian-style steak tartare seasoned with coriander, mitmita (hot chili powder), and herbed butter, was incredibly flavorful. Most of the meats leaned on the spicy side, but when you mixed them with the veggies and injera, everything balanced out perfectly. My favorite was the Key Wot, a spicy stew of slow-cooked beef with onions, garlic, cardamom (korerima), berbere, and Ethiopian herbal butter. My second favorite was the Gomen Besiga, made with boiled beef cubes flavored with spices, onions, and garlic. The texture was surprisingly tender, almost like fish. We also got the House Combo, which includes a mix of meats and vegetables. It only comes with two meats, but it's a great option for first-timers because you get to try a wider variety of flavors. The waitress was very helpful and thoughtful, taking the time to explain each dish to us. And bonus, they have some parking available, which is super convenient. Overall, the food was amazing, and I really hope more people discover this local gem.
