Butchers near Bellevue, WA

“Awesome staff. Jamar helped me tonight. Was a huge deal because Jackson had already cleaned the saw, he did not want to reclean. Takes quite a while. However Jamar made my night, he will take the time to reclean. I get my family night perfect. I really needed this. Thank you so much Jamar. Please let him know, he is very much appreciated and great at customer service. He did not turn me away. This was a huge deal for me.”

“I’m a regular customer at the halal meat shop because they consistently offer fresh meat and delicious marinated chicken. The staff is always friendly and helpful there is a new guy who deal very well, making the overall experience enjoyable”

“Having a special meal? Want to treat yourself, or maybe you just have high standards? Lamb roast, short ribs, steak…I’ve always experienced exceptional quality and service. Thank you!”

“Bob's was the only butcher I could find in the city that had salt pork. It was well worth the 45 minute trip from Ballard (with the holiday traffic). I bought 3lbs of the salt pork so I could avoid the trip the next couple of times I make baked beans.

I go to Geraldine's pretty regularly, so I'd seen Bob's before, but never been in. I was pretty impressed with their selection and the number of niche items they offered. It was a bit hectic inside, but it was two days before thanksgiving, so that's understandable.

Going forward Bob's is going to be my go-to when my neighborhood butcher doesn't have what I need.”

“Rain Shadow Meats has the most delicious and freshest options for meat with competitive pricing. They also carry a variety of other items, such as local organic garlic and onions and heirloom tomatoes that actually taste like how tomatoes used to taste (real) at affordable prices too! Nika ordered a specific type of cut of meat for me that was out of stock the other day and I bought it today. She said I could call ahead for any requests, and they could stock pantry or grocery per my request! It’s amazing to have a small local grocer/butcher in the neighborhood that can cater to your needs. They also have a fridge that has things like soup, chili, and marcona almonds, among other items.”

“Howdy, first time coming to your store in years. I used to get the best wine picks from Tommy. I am so glad to hear he is retired and doing great. Keep up the good work, it was a great visit??”

“The store was very nice and clean. Everything was so organized that it was easy to find things. They were very nice and friendly. I highly recommend this shop to everyone, and they also have Halal chicken and meat.”

“(1001 S Jackson St, Seattle, WA 98104 *Word: It's not the grocery store on 12th and Jackson. Don't get confused.)This is a great storefor grocery needs but it's easy to miss with its modest signage, a single door pane is often open and no windows and its allocation is easy to drive right by because you're on a main street. However, it's also easy if you are walking by or exercising, walking forward, walking backwards, jogging, running or doing cartwheels... it's uphill a bit or down from you...beats fighting traffic, always. They have a small parking lot and it's all a manageable size and endeavor for many of your list items.If you're looking for Vietnamese food, herb, canned items, Pacific fresh seafood or Vietnamese instant coffee or relics this is an easy, dependable stop and they've got a kind and hardworking crew. They already supply many of the produce for some of the restaurants close by where you may have eaten last evening or where you will eat tonight. Not shopping for Vietnamese ingredients? No problem. Unfamiliar with such fare but require some delicious, fresh fish, meats like beef, pork belly bacon you will find this store FUNfamiliar and Dong Hing has those proteins too. Butchers are on site, scales for clams by the pound are available and if someone doesn't speak english just ask another customer or one of the nice stock ladies. These ladies are everywhere rolling dollies around with boxes and these ladies are just as tough as they are beautiful and they will help you if you're polite. One of these young ladies helped me find the right instant coffee last time. Thank you, again.Personally, I find the vegetable and fruit selection outstanding considering the overall size of the grocery market. THIS IS KEY- the fact that Vietnamese culture is a shopping daily culture, cooking at home is a sport and fresh ingredients are instrumental in Vietnamese recipes which make such selections reliably FRESHER and CONSISTENTLY AVAILABLE so you may select your fruits and vegetables FASTER and EASIER. This fact means they have an aggressive purchasing power so greater quantities are rotated faster, cleaner and their capture clientele demands it so they have more in relative quantity than most western grocery markets three times their size! I recently bought some oranges and bok choy and they were fantastic. The store area is nearly halfway full of ALL freshness between protein, veggies+herbs and fruit. Not only is this place clean, it smells like it too and much less spoiling of produce or brown, yellowing twigs of herbs, fronds and less sifting for the last one or two of something that resembles a crown of broccoli or a carrot that's not an heirloom carrot because it's turning purple, lol. The sellers are committed to this clientele and often that's the first fruit they get,so to speak.Save time, support you and the local micro economy as you shop here too in addition to the other markets in this community. By supporting these families and the International District you retain it's experience-an experience unlike anywhere and unlike most places in this country.If it's simply an individual orange or you're making a fresh salad for one hundred rabbits or buying bacon for your Sunday brunch, beef for the backyard grill or you just enjoy meeting new people and exploring different economies, foods and cultural ceremonies this place is open to you and for you.”
