 Uwajimaya Seattle, International District | Yelp
Uwajimaya is the cleanest, most organized, designed, well-lit, and comfortable Asian supermarket I've been to, the store management sets high standards and it shows.
I hate to be a voice of dissent, but let me say it anyway: Uwajimaya is certainly not bad, and it's really a mainstay for many people, Asians, Asian-Americans, Caucasians, etc., and a big part of the International District, with its modern, pan-Asian flavor.
It's always a pain getting into the Uwajimaya car park, it isn't because the car park is SO full, it's because people don't want to walk too far to the store itself, so they stop and wait for the closest parking spot.
