Uwajimaya Renton, opened in July 2009, is a large Asian grocery store located in the Renton Village Shopping Center. Covering over 30,000 square feet, it offers a wide selection of Asian groceries, gifts, produce, specialty meats, and seafood. The deli features a variety of hot and prepared Asian foods, including sushi and a delicious rice/noodle combo with chicken curry. The store also houses the popular bubble tea shop, Oasis Tea Zone. Customers appreciate the impressive seafood section, noting the excellent customer service and proper sanitation standards. While the store has a good selection of Japanese items and ready-made food options, some shoppers find the variety less extensive than the Seattle location. Prices may not always be the lowest, but the availability of unique Asian products makes it a convenient choice. Overall, Uwajimaya Renton is a well-regarded spot for Asian food shopping, offering a nice atmosphere and less crowded experience compared to other locations.
