When I heard that this place was here, I was THRILLED! Everything on the menu is the exact same, and some of the waiters from the other location are here too! The space is even bigger than the one in Renton, and they really outdid themselves with the new decor and ambiance. You can tell this is a place that truly cares about their customers and takes pride in the work they do. I'm so grateful they moved down here also, and I'm never disappointed by anything on the menu!

I've also seen them having an herbalist doc look at customers/patients. I don't know if it's a good price for their herbs. It's inside the Great Wall mall so parking is plentiful but can be busy. They close at 6pm during the weekdays. We've gotten special herbs for soups and things for inflammation, colds, etc.

While we were talking, he learned where I work and what we were going through. Without hesitation, he wanted to help. I connected him with the right person, and he generously donated approximately 70 gallons of his Chicken & Sausage Gumbo, along with rice and spoons, for all three shifts. He is truly an amazing person, and his food is just as incredible. Thank you, Reginald--my coworkers and I are so grateful for your kindness and support!

A must when you are in Kent or looking to try something new.

When you live in South King County and near the border of Renton and Kent near Valley Medical…read moreCenter, you discover quickly that you are part of an eclectic community. And the benefit? All of the wonderful foods that are produced. But the products and spices necessary to produce these unique dishes are not found in your typical Western-based grocery store. And often times, these products must follow strict religious sanitary rules. There must be a grocer that can carry these sundries to make your dish what you remember from home. In comes the International Food Bazzar! Located on the northern Kent border in the industrial park area, this deceptively large grocery holds products from the Middle East, India, Pakistan, and a few others representing South Asia. The store is Halaal certified, and for those looking for that regional specific product from that region, it is most likely here. Going in, I was not prepared for excitement that I felt walking when I walked in to find the spices and curries I was looking for but could easily not find in a western North America based grocery store. Even the frozen food section was a treat: frozen Naan bread, frozen Saag Paneer to take for lunch, and brands of 25 pound bags of basmahti rice. Let's not forget the busy butchery section preparing several Halal cuts for the long line of customers, all awaiting their turn to put their personal request in. It's a great relationship that is forged. As someone who wants to eat as authentically as possible without the America-substituted analogs, I have found joy in this place that can make my dishes shine the way they were intended. Visit the International Food Bazaar for your next shopping trip!

But: go there again the following week and everything may be different. Grab what's good when you can catch it. Their produce section which is constantly changing is generally very good. Their garden supplies such as planting soil etc are always goof and reasonably priced. What they're not: They are not like a nursery such as East Hill Nursery, where people who are garden and botanical specialists can help you find what's best for your situation and explain best options for you. They're rather a clearinghouse for commonly popular flowers, plants & supplies. But they do that well. Their structure and employees are great and the lines move quickly.

UPDATE: 3/24/26... As a Yelp Elite member for 6 years, I…read morepride myself in giving fair reviews, whether good or bad. And with the bad, I strive to be positive on the experience that was good before giving suggestions or letting the owner know what fell short. I'm never out to bash a business. Rather, as an owner, if you pride yourself in customer service, you will take what a sincere Yelp Elite reviewer has to say, step back and see how you can improve. I just read the comments another reviewer posted a few days ago and saw that they were berated as well. I had nothing to gain from giving the review I did and it's unfortunate that you're no longer going to be in business, but there were two other people with me that came to this consensus. With that, I will reply to the unfortunate remarks slammed at me, the reviewer. Let me preface by saying I asked for a pic with the owner before tea service started. If it was said that we had a wonderful and lovely time, it was not by me but one of my friends who, when asked how everything was, couldn't think of anything else to say. Also, I wasn't going to express all of this in front of the owner at the time because I had others with me. So, to rebel and ask me if my mother is still alive and did she teach me to behave like this? Well, all I can say is your reaponse as a business owner is extremely childish and unprofessional. I didn't make the food. I reviewed it and if that means it's not the best review, so be it. It pains me not to give a business owner a good review because that's not what we as Elite members strive for. That said, lashing out is not the answer. At least I have the maturity and diplomacy to put these comments in without getting into a mud fight like you chose to do. Review..... My two girlfriends and I came here for afternoon tea. Since I'm the Yelp reviewer, I asked them for their input and so it was a consensus of the three of us. Here's what went right. It was nice to have a carafe of water at our table, there were beautiful flowers and dyed water to match in the vase, the teacups and saucers were very pretty, the owner was extremely nice. Here's what we thought needed a second look. The sign in the store advertised cheese and fruit for the afternoon tea but it didn't appear. When we asked we were told it didn't come with it but we could get some if we wanted. Please revise the sign as people do notice. Suggest you have a selection of three sandwiches rather than two of each. One was a small croissant filled with egg salad and if we hadn't been told that we thought it might be chicken. The other was a cucumber sandwich which although it's nice to have thin slices of cucumber, these were razor thin. Sort of disappointing that there was so little on a beautiful piece of bread. They scones were nothing special. Perhaps have something inside whether it be cranberry, currant etc. The sweets consisted of a Mexican wedding cake which was rather dry and was there a detection of almond extract? The orange macaron, as beautiful as it was, lacked flavor of orange. I was expecting a nice burst of something but it just wasn't there. The fondant on the petit four was much too thick, and sweet. Whatever fashion the raspberry is used, keep a bit of that tart flavor to offset the sweetness from the fondant. The effort was there, things just felt short.
