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.

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 really like the Uwajimaya Japanese grocery store in Seattle's Chinatown neighborhood. It's a…read morepretty awesome place with a fully functional food court area that's so convenient for everyone. Lots of dining options and affordable prices in the food court area. Deli foods are some of the best I've seen inside a gigantic Japanese grocery store with lots of space and aisles to walk around. Everything you need can be found here in one stop. Favorite section that stands out is their souvenirs & gifts aisles in back. You can find authentic Japanese gifts or shop for local Seattle souvenirs and other items. Everything was clean, new, and cute here. The Japanese folks made a very good investment here. Walkable to Chinatown restaurants and shops. Staffs are all good citizens. Cleaning lady says Hi and talk to you if you talk to her. Seattle's Chinatown district has been on a decline due to crimes/violence/vandalism since Covid til now, but Uwajimaya holds strong. They even hired own private security guards to escort criminals and troublemakers out as needed. There had been shoplifting and harassments to employees and customers from random outsiders and drug addicts or homeless folks nearby. Uwajimaya is doing everything it can to remain in business operations. Fully staffed. Good product selections. I was able to find everything I wanted throughout the shelves and bakery area is convenient. This Japanese grocery store has a lot to offer, so I hope it stays open during high inflation times. Excellent stop for tourists. If you need to use the public restrooms in dining hall food court area, you'll need to purchase something and the access code will be on your receipt. I enjoyed shopping here. Highly recommended. I'll be back for sure.

I might hit the gas station in the parking lot but only because I am there for 90 seconds and dont go 6 feet away from my car door. Anything else and I might get jumped.

This location of Trader Joe's was relatively close to my high school classmate's home, so I stopped by quickly to take a look beforeIhad to meet up with her. I was so happy to see that the peach-colored AND turquoise-colored mini insulated coolers were available (at the entrance)! They're really handy as my niece has been using them to bring her leftover dinner to work for lunch the next day! She said that these mini coolers are a good size! I got some for her father, sister, and mother! Inside, this Trader Joe's was clean, spacious, organized, and well-lit. I got some snacks, greeting cards, and some yellow nectarines! I started looking for the store mascot and asked the cashier if these plushies were the ones. I showed her a photo on my phone, spotted the correct mascot, and took a photo when a female worker approached me and told me that "no photos were allowed in the store". I thought that she was joking until I looked at her facial expression. She was serious. Shucks. Oh, well... it's over. We got our prize (a lollipop) and took a photo outside of the store. We still went back the next day for more snacks and greeting cards because I had a bit more space in my luggage... LOL!
