Among the…read morevariety, offerings include pizza, tacos, ramen, salad, poke, burgers, sandwiches and baked goods - definitely something to fit everyone's preferences! Prices here are on the steeper end but this food hall provides an elevated experience compared to your typical food court. It defies the stereotype that one would normally associate with food courts by proving that the term "fast food" shouldn't imply compromised quality nor level of service. The food I've tried here so far has been crafted with fresh ingredients although the flavors have been hit-and-miss. For example, I loved Barrio Luchador's tacos, but the Brawler Burger was a little too salty and oily, while the whole roast duck at Fat and Feathers was quite bland. Service is top-notch! Not only are the employees at each individual eatery friendly and helpful, but there's a wonderful cleaning staff that ensures the entire food hall space is well-kept and spotless. There are are at least a few employees who stroll around gathering empty plates and cups with a smile. I just wish there was room for more seating since during peak lunch time, the food hall becomes packed and it's difficult to find an open table. If unable to find a seat, each of the eateries can pack your food to go. Otherwise, this is a wonderful spot for a quick lunch, catching up with a friend or an informal meeting.

So far, so delicious, and almost just right…read more I've been SO excited to actually eat here after passing through to eat elsewhere. We ate at Crosta and La Baguette. Drank at Dote and eyed the Burger Bar. The HH pizzas are delicious and an excellent quality and price unmatched anywhere I've seen in the area. I enjoyed the mushrooms but would have loved them fresh and not marinated. The kids were very happy with their cheese and pepperoni (contact pizza as she called it). The French bakery next door has an awesome croque madame sandwich with bechemel sauce over the entire thing (I opted for the sauce on the side and they decided to put my cheese on the side too, which was a bad choice I didn't request). The sauce wasn't even warm and I missed my cheese on the sandwich. Next time I'll say easy sauce. They have a super delicious "hot fudge" dessert that is a brownie with a chocolate and cream mousse covered with a few brownie pieces and chocolate ganache. Oh my, I'm a baker and it was delicious! Also very grateful to find a Full Tilt ice cream selection on the east side for the first time! Baby girl was so thankful to find her blue moon front and center at La Baguette. The beer menu draft list at the burger bar was very tempting for my honey, he found a couple of new ones to try. They offer pints up to growlers. Also, my honey loves his lattes at Dote Coffee Bar. They take the time to make plenty of tasty foam for me that's well flavored and decorated with a whole bear face! The quality of food and presentation is outstanding at this food court, and I can't wait to make our way around each "station" so I can speak to all of the various tastes.

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.

I grew up in the 90's when Westlake used to be the place to hang out. There were actual shops and…read morekiosks and the food court was like a Stranger Things 80's vibe with Sbarro's and McDonald's. It really felt family friendly and the candy shop upstairs next to the monorail was packed. I remember wanting to hang out on all levels of this mall and there was Crabtree and Evelyn, B Dalton books, and so many options. I even got my ears pierced here 3 x at Claire's. The wing that connect to Subway and Taco Del Mar was also a hang out spot and it was fun to have a Seattle home base to chill. Westlake was next to Macy's, and Gap was cool back then. I didn't shop there but remember the scent of Heaven and the super perfumy scents of the 90's and Tommy Hillfiger and Nautica jackets that I wore. Jay Jacob's was the spot for Tolo and Winter formal wear and Frederick's and Nelson's felt so bougie but special. I could even get all of my specialty 90's Timberland boots. Over the decades, Westlake reminded me of a mall that was taken over by a post apocalyptic crisis. Shops were empty, the decent ones that made malls cool left such as Foot Locker, and random swap meet looking stores and other junky stores popped up. There isn't the same feel and it feels like a random hodgepodge of leftovers. I remember when Lush was in the mall and the whiff of the essential oils made things feel festive during the holidays. With so many stores and shops having to leave, Westlake is still a shell of its former felt. Who knows what it will look like in the next 10 years. If you're from out of town, I would suggest skipping Westlake. Go to Chop House Row, Melrose Market for indie and local and SouthCenter or Bellevue Square for the all American mall experience.

So it's an excellent place to connect, even during non-mall hours. Came here before mall opening at 10am, and was able to find a side entrance that takes you only to the 3rd floor where you can start your ride on the mono-rail.

My wife, daughter, and I ate at Oriental Mart in Pike Place Market and had a wonderful experience…read more We ordered the pork adobo, longanisa, salmon sinigang, and lumpia, and every dish was delicious. The pork adobo was tender and flavorful, the longanisa was perfectly seasoned, and the salmon sinigang had a rich, comforting broth. The lumpia was crispy and fresh. We also appreciated the complimentary soup and rice. The longanisa came with pancit, which complemented the dish perfectly and made the meal even more satisfying. The food tasted authentic and homemade, and the portions were generous. The friendly service and great Filipino food make this a must-visit spot in Pike Place Market. We will definitely be back! If you meant something else by "Settle pike market," let me know and I'll help.

It can be spendy for some thing but it is supporting local businesses. Ok usually I hit up a flower stand and buy produce. On my recent pass through I bought chocolate.

The kiosks were fun and it was one of the only places I could get a watch chrystal replaced. JC Penney's used to be cool and the smell of Ivars, Subway, Taco Bell and Panda Express brought back the 90's nostalgia of cd's and getting new kicks. Fast forward to 2025 and the indoor mall has been closed for a long time. The only thing left is a shell of Red Robin's, Nordstrom Rack, and the outside businesses such ad chipotle AT and T and Barnes and Nobles. I was reminiscing on Blue Finn buffet, Azteca and Bed Bath. I guess there's lots of remodeling going on and the Kraken ice rink is built which draws a different vibe. It feels more disjointed as a mall and more of a huge lot with random businesses that are mismatched. Target across the way is still going strong but the crime in that area is high. I miss the old Northgate and the community vibe it attracted.
