First time visiting this U.S. Foods Chef'Store in Federal Way and it wasn't exactly smooth. The…read moreparking lot is tight, and there's this weird pothole you have to avoid or you'll feel it. The store is clearly built for restaurant-level shopping where bulk is the nor. The carts are massive and not friendly for a casual shopper like me. Not a whole lot of variety on the shelves either, which surprised me. Only one cashier working made the checkout feel slow, though the employee was nice enough. Overall, not a great fit unless you're buying for a business. Efficiency: Fail First-Time Friendliness: Fail Would I return? No JY review

I went shopping at Valley Harvest Foods on Military Road in Auburn and noticed the Mexican…read morerestaurant inside the market with a casual appeal, a fairly decent dining area and a cafeteria-style counter. The service was friendly. After checking out their salsa bar, we took a chance and ordered the Chile Rellenos, a 3 Taco Combination Plate with Asada, Pollo, and Pastor, along with Chips and Salsa and a Piña drink. Their food reminded me of a family-run restaurant with authentic street food taste. The chips and salsa were fresh and made a great starter. The salsa was flavorful. They don't pull back on the heat which is perfect. We also tried the Piña drink, which was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. The Chile Rellenos did not disappoint. The pepper was tender, good amount of cheese filling and their tomato sauce paired well. The 3 Taco Combination Plate was the highlight of the meal. The meats were flavorful, the rice and beans was traditional and everything paired well with the salsa from the bar. I was so impressed with their table side service. This is truly a hidden gem and the prices are on par with other area restaurants. I definitely enjoyed the experience which was amplified with a World Cup football game on TV, a small cheering squad and would highly recommend this spot.

Also, if you like freshly made chicherons come here in their mexican resturant. Chicherons are by the meat department if not already sold out. But definitely come to the Mexican Resturant, you will not de disappointEd. People are very friendly too. If you went by looks, you would not think this place would have good food. And they don't, they have great food. Come and try for your self.

Good produce and meat counter too. Prices are reasonable and fair for specialty items. The in-house restaurant which is Philhouse serves authentic "lutong bahay" (home cooked Filipino meals) which I really like. They also have fresh baked breads, pastries and treats in their panaderia. The service has been always polite, helpful and friendly. Can get busy at Philhouse during peak meal times.

It was so clean so beautiful the vegetables were great. The food that they have is absolutely wonderful.

The employees seemed like they were happy and had a smile on their face and they're cooked tamales were out of this world. Well, I'm gonna show you some pictures of what I saw today and I'm telling you this is my new favorite place.

They have a lot of great offerings of products from Southeast Asian and East Asian. They also offer cookware, utensils and other home needs too. The seafood section lets you buy fish and they will fry it for you too. The prices for seafood is probably one of the cheapest in the area. I haven't had any issues with their seafood so it is fresh. I will admit that I have seen some items that are past their expiration date. They also don't keep things at the best temperature for certain items so you just have to be careful. The store layout is organized but I wouldn't say the store is 100% clean. The staff members here can be friendly or stoic. Other than that, this market is great for the plentiful parking, location and product types.
