Through three travails and even assails, Taiwanese Canadian mega-grocery T&T Supermarkets opening…read moreat Factoria, Trump's wacky tariffs on Chinese imports as high as 145%, and Seattle's periodic rousting of encampments and sweeping the unhoused onto Jackson, 12th Ave, and King Streets, like musical chairs where Chinatown never even had a chair, this enduring mom-and-pop Chinese grocery unfailingly imports old-world foodstuffs alongside locally-sourced fruits and vegetables, and meats and fish. We should commend surviving even one such struggle, which has decimated other businesses. The overall quality of their meats and their buyer's sourcing has grown better and more consistent over the years, executing a strategy available only to small wholesalers. Not only have this and other small ethnic grocers survived the profound impacts of Reagan dropping enforcement of the Robinson-Patman Act, they've executed remarkable niche marketing Jujitsu where other groceries have abandoned neighborhoods to become food deserts. Across King Street from similar Vietnamese-focused Lam's Seafood and other ethnic shops down King, 好好 retains its old-world, minimal packaging, small-store ambiance and charm. Seattle should honor such astute businesspeople and give kudos to employees who've worked here two decades going.

It's a clean space with a lot of variety!…read more There's so much fresh fruit and vegetables it's overwhelming a little! The staff is nonchalant about browsing, which is cool. They require $10 minimum purchase for the credit card machine. No restrooms. Street parking!

Uwajimaya is the model for how all Asian grocery stores should be - pristinely clean, well-stocked,…read moreand bustling. You can get both local and Japanese-imported ingredients, but also popular spices, noodles, and ingredients from other Asian countries, as well - truly an international grocery store. They frequently support local businesses, which will be on display in the bakery and refrigerated sections. Their selection of food and fun goodies are always on rotation, so every visit is different. They even have gauchapon machines at one of the entrance. During the holidays, like Lunar New Year or New Year's holiday, they will feature food related to the cultures that celebrate the respective holidays. Once, they even had a photo feature for fans to meet the singing voice actor of Jinu (Andrew Choi) from Kpop Demon Hunters. Another time, they had Hello Kitty visit. There's a food hall with some delicious food, including their store-brand, Waji's. Uwajimaya is a huge boost to the local community - so glad we have it right next to the light rail for accessibility too.

My son and his best friend have been nagging me for YEARS to come here so my wife and i did…read moreyesterday. My single, nagging question is "What took me so long??" No idea. The store's far larger than I'd imagined and carries far more stuff. The produce dept. got me right away when I found GREEN lemongrass (almost impossible to find in my county), black garlic, large fresh ginger--and garlic scapes (they call it spring garlic). I was especially hoping to find garlic scapes since I just discovered them and have already found a great stir-fry recipe for them. A also bought some soy sauces along with an XO sauce that are hard to find in regular supermarkets. Yes, I already have stir-fry plans for all of them. There's far more food stuff I could've bought but the question that decided me against it was "Who else in the house will eat it other than me?" The meats pre-sliced for Korean/Japanese dishes tempted me but were pricey. Besides I own a meat slicer. The one thing I didn't find which was my sole disappoint was Shaoxing wine, a Chinese rice win. They carried the cooking version but not the drinking one. Contrast that with shelves filled with Japanese sakes. I prefer Shaoxing for stir-fry dishes and already have some at home so the disappoint wasn't too great. We rarely get to Seattle so it'll be a while until we re-visit the store. The good news is that a new Uwajimaya will open in Tacoma next year. We plan to shop there a lot more often. Definitely a store worth visiting even if you don't cook Asian dishes. they carry all kinds of cooking stuff--including woks, rice makers, and lots of gadgets. Our son's friend even bought travel chopsticks. I told him he'll be required to whip those out at our next Chinese stir-fry dinner. He better like black garlic and garlic scapes.

LAM'S SEAFOOD MARKET @ SEATTLE…read more Parking is available in their lot, but it is one-way only, so once you enter, you'll have to loop around unless you find a spot right away. Unfortunately, this area is one of the rougher parts of Seattle. There are a lot of unhoused individuals nearby, and during our visit, there were people openly using drugs outside, which felt pretty unsettling while shopping. My mom and I have been coming here for the past 10 years, and it's honestly sad to see how much this area has declined over time. We were able to find parking and go inside, but the store itself feels very rundown and poorly maintained. It doesn't seem like there's been much effort put into renovating or updating the space. I wouldn't recommend buying fresh produce here, there were a lot of flies, and overall it didn't feel clean. The store feels sturdy but very old, and the overall ambiance is outdated. If you do stop by, I'd only recommend picking up canned or sealed items from brands you already trust. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this location unless you absolutely need something in an emergency. Lam's Seafood in Tukwila, on the other hand, is much better, it's bigger, cleaner, and feels a lot safer with no major issues in the surrounding area. Compared to that location, I would strongly avoid this one. It's disappointing to see how much it's changed over the years.

Fun little market in the middle of Chinatown. We ventured in looking for a specific sauce and found…read morea couple! The place is notably small but has a modest selection in the 4 aisles. They have plenty of fruit and veggies out front and a smaller selection inside. The meat selection and frozen goods are present but not overly large. They've got a good amount of sauces and a lovely selection of coconut milk and coconut cream - my best half enjoys it so that's what I came for! Prices were very reasonable, as expected, and the gal at the counter was very helpful! They require a purchase of at least $10 to use cards so plan accordingly. Worth checking out if you're in the area.

Dong Hing is listed here on Yelp, but it is actually located at 1001 S Jackson St. which is about three blocks from Dong Sing. The weird thing about this, is that this store used to be called Dong Hing Market several years ago. Got that? I wonder why each store decided on such similar names because it is confusing to Yelpers. Dong Sing is actually not very big, but it is one market located in the heart of Chinatown/I-District. Produce is piled high on the street for your perusal. Inside the market you will find groceries like you would find at Dong Hing or Hau Hau or Hop Thanh, but they carry a smaller selection due to limited size. They do have a meat and fish counter in the back however. I have found the prices here to be slightly higher than a few of their I-District counterparts, but still better than at a traditional supermarket. Overall, Dong Sing Market is decent and the location makes it worth a visit.
