I recently bought 3 doz raw oysters there for grilling and about 1/3 of them turned out bad. They cost $6.99/doz

Everything else in this store cost more than other asian shops, you should shop carefully.

  • Pros: There are oysters
  • Cons: They may be dead awhile in that tank

Uwajimaya as a store really is an amazing place. The selection is second to none, and there's the sushi retaurant Hakatamon (much, much better than the previous place Sambi, thank goodness) and the Japanese bookstore. I work near Uwajimaya and walk over often.

So what's up with the deli? They slop out possibly the worst Asian steam-tray dishes I have ever seen. I have made several attempts and I'm giving up. Everything's cooked into a beige mush, floating in oil. The chow mien I just got was greasy beyond belief. In an attempt to get something that was once alive I ordered the vegetables. Even they were a lost cause - they appeared to have been cooked at least a day before: the broccoli was literally shriveled and discolored.

I can strongly recommend Uwajimaya as a store for all things Asian (and Pacific Island) but for the love of all that's tasty they need to scrap the deli and start over. Even Safeway can do better!

  • Pros: Groceries, meat counter, seafood counter, kitchen stuff, housewares, bookstore, stationary, Hakatamon
  • Cons: the deli

I nearly cried when I first walked in. Just like Japan! Well, as close as you can get, anyway. The selection is amazing (and delicious). There's a little restaurant attached, and I highly recommend the yaki onigiri. Yum! They have tons of Asian grocery items, fresh produce, seafood, and baked goods. I could happily live there.

We love going there regularly and trying something new each time. We have discovered things that we wouldn't normally have with that approach.

It's fun-almost exciting to go there. It seems unusual and exotic.

if you are Portlander and haven't been you have to go.

A touch of the exotic orient in the middle of Portland. This is much more than a grocery store. You can find a wide variety of asian foods and be very adventurous. Stroll down the aisles and enjoy the sights. Lots of asian americans come here regularly. I also like the different festivals and celebrations they hold regulartly. Great spot, excellent seafood selection.

My young daughter clamours to go to Uwajumaya on the weekends because of their extensive Hello Kitty selection. My wife likes to browse in their bookstore that features Japanese stationery by Sanrio and San-X, and I like to peruse the various sauces and condiments that they have to offer. They have great deals on seafood, vegetables, and frozen items. Everything is fresh and organized by type of food. They have a place to eat takeout sushi and other lunch items and you can watch the huge tank of fish swimming around. They also have cooking classes so you can learn to make sushi at home!

When we have a craving for yakisoba, spam musubi, or char siu manapua, we head out to Uwajimaya! Uwajimaya keeps us stocked in all our hard-to-find Asian and Hawaiian favorites. GREAT selection of fresh produce too!

We love going to Uwajimaya! The store is so huge that you could wander around for quite a while; it is fun to do just that! You can find all kinds of products that you have never even heard of before. If you are looking for a certain ingredient in a new asian recipee, this is the place to go to find it. We like to buy seafood from there, because it is always super fresh and delicious! I highly recommend Uwajimaya!! They often have taste testing (samples) and other events.

Uwajimaya is an Asian food store with so much to pick from it is amazing!! I have sometimes gone there when I don't even need anything just to browse - not something I ordinarily do in a grocery store!

They have a wide range of products - mostly foods from Japan, China, etc. but also books, magazines, toys, treats, etc. My daughter loves to go and get the rice candies!

The food is always fresh - I have been disappointed in the quality of food I have purchased and we have been buying there for several years.

There is a ton of parking and it is very easy to find too.
