Yay! We have a T&T in Lynnwood. We became a fan of T&T when we stayed in Vancouver. Our main…read moreattraction was the hot food buffet station since shopping here always meant, yummy food at the end. My 5 year old really enjoys many of their hot food staples. The T&T in Lynnwood doesn't disappoint at all. While it is smaller than the Factoria location, we do not personally have any complaints. The place is not always packed like the Factoria location and that is a a relief. We primarily use the food & bakery sections, live fish, and frozen food sections. One can say they are a bit pricier in comparison to places like Ranch Market who have similar options but we T&T is closer to us than Ranch Market and so we prefer to go here as it is more convenient. They are special items during Boat Festival every year and we absolutely love the bun station during this time. This is also a great place to experiment with a lot of not usually found Asian alcohol in main stream supermarkets unless you are specially going to a specialty shop.

They do…read morehave some more specialized options so they are a bit more in line with a speciality store or the prices of Whole Foods. I did get some uShu Mai, which I really enjoyed, but I could've gotten it cheaper at Trader Joe's. I also found the fresh fruits to be a lot more expensive. I used to go to quite a few Asian stores in the international District, and usually the fresh foods were all cheap cheaper than any typical grocery store, but it seems to be the opposite of of this store. They do have some cute shopping parts for the little ones that are small shopping carts at a very low level for children to push and say "shopper in training". Really love this. Lines are pretty long but the nice benefit is that the cashiers are all humans and that they are not using self checkout. They typically have 2 cashiers working during the daytime. Not sure if they have more during evening hours.

Uwajimaya has to be the largest, cleanest, and nicest Asian grocery stores I've ever been in and…read moreI'm jealous this isn't local to me! Also wish I didn't discover it my last night in town because I would have stopped in almost everyday. Huge selection - from health & beauty, dishes, alcohol, prepared food, and just about everything you can imagine from the food side (pantry and fresh). Large produce selection with a lot of items you can't easily find in an "everyday American" grocery store. I also loved they carried salad mixes. The meat and seafood area had great selection and was so clean and fresh! The pantry type items also had an incredible selection. I wish I could have stocked up on so many things. For a quick lunch or dinner, stop by and try some of their prepared food items - great selection and I felt reasonable prices. I loved browsing all the aisles and was so inspired to want to make a delicious meal. Since I was traveling, I could only pick up a few items! Hope when I return to leave some extra room in my suitcase. Great store!

I was very impressed with the store! There's a large selection of groceries and frozen goods from popular Asian brands. Not to mention, popular skincare and trinkets. But what stood out to me the most was the prepared food and bakery section!! So many options from a hot food bar, to sushi and drinks, to the cutest cakes you can order. We got packaged egg tarts from the bakery area, and they were so flaky and silky. Would definitely recommend putting them in the oven so they get extra crispy. Can't wait for the one in the Bay Area to open!

It's a great Asian market for everyday shopping- a lot less stressful than the bigger and better known Asian markets, even if the aisles are a little narrow. While a small building by comparison to say Uwajimaya, H-Mart, or the ginormous T&T, Mekong does a great job representing all the types of food and supplies you might want or need. The market does have some ready to eat food available too. It's also awesome for trying all the Lays potato chip flavors American groceries stores don't carry.

This place has been on my to-try list for 5 or so years, and my friend and I finally got to have it…read moreon a Saturday morning around 11:40am. It serves classic Filipino comfort food, similar to the likes of Ludi's and Sizzling Asian Grill. The only difference is that this place has been around for a really long time, and is tucked away inside part of Pike Place beyond some groceries and next to a yogurt place. It's noisy around here, and there's limited seating just around the corner of the kitchen and some straight ahead. Menu is pretty small, which is already a good thing since that means the dishes are gonna be high quality. After placing your order, the staff make your food and then call your name out when your food's ready. Both my friend and I got their longanisa plate, which comes with rice and pancit. Rice is standard and has some sauce on it, while the pancit is lightly salted and makes for a great palette cleanser. The real winner was the longanisa, and you get three thick pieces of them for around $18 after tax! Each piece was sweet, tender and juicy all around, and I could see some fat inside when I was biting into each one. They're so packed with flavor that I wish there were five pieces instead! Portions here are deceptively big even though the plate is small, so expect to struggle finishing it if you're not a big eater. I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally try here, and now that I have it's something else to cross off my really long list of Seattle places I've neglected to try over the years. Even with just one visit, I'd take family, friends, and visitors to Seattle here for one of their meals!

This isn't a standard pike place food stall--it's a high-stakes audition where the prize is lunch…read more The line moves best when everyone is understands what's at stake. You're expected to know your order, say it clearly, pay immediately, and slide down the counter like you've trained for it. Hesitate, ask a question, or make a joke and you can feel Auntie Lie, the owner, giving you the once over. I ordered the salmon sinigang and the longanisa, unfortunately, they were amazing. This is Filipino home style food- rustic, rich, flavorful, well seasoned--and after walking all day in the cold rain, it was like coming home. Auntie Lie behind the counter served it like she was issuing a warning, not a meal. Just kidding- she actually was warm and friendly. She said, "you come here before? You know exactly the right things to order". I didn't tell her it was out of fear and admiration for how she handled the tourist in front me. Just kidding . I sat at the side bar, enjoyed my meal and enjoyed reading her many notes and pictures with folk who've been longtime fans. This stall has baked in character, and in the bustle of tourists, eating here and watching it all was a great ambience. Worth it? Yes. This is a must needed spot to visit at pike place. If it isn't, don't tell Auntie Lie.

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.

The Baratte is my fave because it's super creamy. Loving all the salts though because of all the salt crystals. They also have things like wines, charcuterie, and sweets. The only thing that keeps my score from being a 5 is because it's small and so there isn't more inventory. But their butter alone is why I know I'll be back!
