Besides having foods that you wouldn’t typically find at your local Krogers, Asian grocery stores are the best spot to stock up on snacks.
Trust us when we say that you’re going to want a freezer full of potstickers and a pantry filled with crispy and crunchy umami chips.

Mekong Rainier

More of a Thai supermarket than Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, Mekong Rainier is definitely more authentic than the large chains. We suggest this spot if you know what you need.

Viet Wah is cheaper than Uwajimaya, minus the great selection. If you’re in the neighborhood, however, this is a great spot to check out. This chain does have an herbal pharmacy, live seafood tank, as well as a kitchenware section.
Location: 1032 S Jackson Street, Seattle
Phone: 206-329-1399
Hau Hau Market

The selection of fresh vegetables and fruit at Hau Hau Market is both impressive and affordable. While we admit Hau Hau Market can be a bit of a culture shock to some, it’s definitely an Asian market.
