The staff was very friendly, and helpful. We bought goat meat small cut beef for beans. We will definitely come back and buy more when needed.

I recently went to Asian Pacific Market in Kent to buy fish, and I had a good experience. The store had an excellent selection of fish, including several bulk options, which I appreciated. The fish was both fresh and of high quality. However, the prices were a little higher than I had anticipated. However, the variety, quality, and freshness of the fish made it worthwhile. The staff was friendly and helpful, and they gave me some excellent recommendations. Overall, I would recommend this market for buying fish, but keep in mind that it may be more expensive than other options.

I bought balut(duck eggs) yesterday day and every single one of them were rotten. It's stinky, dry and brown. Only my dog find it appetizing but I don't even wanna give it to her! There are some eggs that date back to 2-3 weeks ago, I chose one that was dated one day ago, but I'm pretty sure they just took off the old date and placed a new one. There's many other stuff that's spoiled here too. I wonder how they even pass the department of health...

I do come here from time to time just because they are close to me. Their stuff isn't cheap, the arrangement isn't very neat. The absolutely bad about them is that they don't follow their listed business hours. They claim to open until 7 pm, but I once went there at 6:50 pm, and they were already closed. So I asked them why, and they said since there were not as many customers, they decided to close early.

Kind people had the products I needed. Beautiful clothes in the back. Not hard to find just behind chucky cheese in Tacoma

Kind of a average run of the mill Asian grocery store. My complaints of this place is that it is frickin' compact as hell! There's no way of having 2 people walk in an aisle, 'cuz it's so small. Can't even carry baskets or push carts around that well since the bloody grocery aisles are really bunched together, with no elbow room or space to maneuver. I don't know why they made the store like that. The fruit and veggie aisles are even smaller that if it's too crowded, you'll have people hovering you and whatnot. Pathetic! Only good thing that I like is the sandwich deli and freshly made patries section. Even that is questionable at times. Like, last time we went, ordered a Vietnamese Iced Coffee and the woman out so much ice, barely had any coffee in there! Maybe a 1/4 of the cup. Asked her nicely to remake it, but she didn't comply, making some excuse saying she didn't want to waste in case there was leftover coffee. I mean, come on! Talk about lazy and inexcusable customer service...

This is your typical homey Asian grocery store with tons of products to choose from along with a deli where you can purchase boba drinks, banh mi and fresh baked goods. As you walk in, you're welcomed by fresh vegetables, flowers and fruits outside. And inside is your typical seafood aroma mixed with idk, but always makes me feel like I'm home. Yes, the aisles are small and parking lot is not ideal but in my opinion, this is a norm for smaller Asian grocery stores. Coming from California, we had a bunch of these that came with small parking lots and the store is small but the quality and quantity is there! Many options on meat, frozen Asian ready to eat meals, boba boxes with pre-made mixes and any type of dipping sauce you need. Items are priced fairly, depending on where it came from and some priced items are way cheaper than other Asian grocery stores. Might be my new place to go if I'm in the area or want my usual, without paying the high price.
This Asian grocery store has its pros and cons, but mostly cons. The cons being that the parking lot is small and its somewhat littered, store is not clean. The aisles are small. You cannot fit two carts or one cart and another person passing by. The non-refrigerated food are stacked on the floor. Some fruits are rotten and they are still selling it. You do not know if some deli food are fresh or past its pull date. The pros it's somewhat close to home if I need an ingredient which only Asian stores carry.

This place is okay. I went here after my cousin recommended it. The parking and even getting into the parking lot is difficult. The parking spots are so tiny and narrow. As for the store itself, it's very compact and narrow. Only one person can fit down an aisle at a time. They have LOTS of different sauces and I like their deli/snack section. I would be hesitant to grab any seafood or meat here, but I come here for fruit, sometimes herbs, sauces, and mostly dry ingredients. It's not the easiest place to get to or shop in, but I do go back once in a while.

Good Asian market with large variety of seafood and vegetables. A little on the dirty side but this is to be expected.

This place makes me disgusted. Went into the deli and there were cockroaches crawling all over the food. Especially in the pastry display case. Tried telling someone that worked there but they didn't speak English or understand what I was trying to say. They discard rotten fruit in the flower bed at the entrance so it smells and there are flies all over.

I know, it seems kind of like a dump when you first walk inside, but don't be put off by initial appearances. There's a lot of good stuff here. They've got curry leaves, kaffir lime leaves, fresh turmeric, Asian shallots, Daun kesum, dried Salam leaves, galangal, and lots of other hard to find herbs. They have fresh rambutan, dragonfruit, longan, and lychee. Their prepared foods are good too and their banh pate so is a treat. They stock coconut milk, coconut cream, and various condensed milk as well. I mean there are bigger Asian grocery stores but this is a great neighborhood grocery store for southeast asian supply without having to drive to Renton
